shared

including

“People
don’t
understand
that
although
Survivor
is
a
game,
you
make
life
long
connections
on
the
Island
and
you
get
to
really
know
your
castmates,”
she
wrote
to
her
Instagram
Story
May
15,
per
a
screenshot
shared
to

“Losing
2
castmates
make
things
a
little
too
real
right
now!
Espada
for
life.”
