The "Survivor" game's over for Jessica "Flica" Smith, the 27-year-old performance artist and roller girl from Chico, Calif. When her paranoia unsettled the tribe, they decide to cut her loose with a unanimous six votes against her.
Forever the optimist, Flica delivers her final words: "It's been an adventure of a lifetime and I couldn't have asked for anything more."
"I guess I wasn't playing the game as hard as I should have," she said. "But it's really hard for me to change who I am when I just wanna be myself."
Smith sat down with CBS Early Show anchor Rene Syler on Friday.
"I was fishing for them to be honest with me, to tell them hey, we are going to vote you off," said Smith. "I would have had a lot more respect for there decision."
The previous week, the expressive Cao Boi - real name Anh Tuan Bui - was voted off. Syler asked if that spelled trouble for Smith.
"I didn't think that necessarily would sign the deal, but I knew that his friendship and my ability to understand Cao Boi was threatening to them," said Smith. "They didn't understand him at the same level I did."
Born and raised on a small ranch in Palo Cedro, Calif., Smith graduated from Foothill High School in Redding, Calif. She moved to Chico when she was 18-years-old and is now a performance artist and designer. Her various fire-related performances use fire hula hoops, poi, staff and batons, often times on stilts. Most recently, Smith was a Nor Cal Roller girl who went by the name "Flica Flame."
