Survivor 47 star Kishan Patel says Rome Cooney is being theatrical for TV: That irked me
The blindsides keep coming on “Survivor 47.”During Wednesday’s episode, Kishan Patel got the shock of his life when Genevieve Mushaluk expectedly rallied Rome Cooney and Sol Yi to vote off the 28-year-old ER doctor, who thought he was in the power position on his tribe.In an exclusive interview with The Post, Patel revealed that he had a secret alliance with Mushaluk — hence why he was so shocked over her betrayal.
Patel also told The Post how he felt about the drama between Cooney and Yi, why he voted out Aysha Welch on last week’s episode, and more.New York Post: Take me back to your vote off.

We were really close and we were really close as a trio between Teeny, Genevieve and I.There was a lot of strategizing that was already happening amongst us three.
We had already talked about beforehand that if Rome doesn’t have an idol, we’re going to vote him out.Genevieve was down for it.

She was still stronger with us, too.So that’s why going back to the first vote, that’s why we went with voting out Sol or Aysha, because we were so tight with Genevieve.We knew that she would work with us in getting out Rome, versus we never got that feedback from Sol or Aysha that they didn’t want to really get out ...
