Even for those of us who do not know the ins and outs of League of Legends, what Peih-Gee describes certainly sounds like strong Survivor strategy: wait, observe, and kill all monsters at the right place and the right time. It’s exactly how Peih-Gee wants to approach Survivor: Cambodia — Second Chance, too, based on what she tells me at Ponderosa.
“I’m going to lay low,” she says. “I’m not going to let my mouth get me into trouble this time. I’ve learned my lessons.”
“If your group wants to sit around and sing songs and sleep in the mud because they don’t have shelter, then you’re sleeping in the damn mud,” she says. “Don’t complain about it. That’s the lesson I learned from my season. You have to fit in.”
“I think Todd’s strategy would actually work really well for me,” she says. “He told me he wanted to make sure he had a very strong person and a very weak person, so that way he’s shielded on both sides. They’re both going to be targets, and he gets to slip through the cracks.”
Peih-Gee has no trouble identifying candidates for the “very strong person” role. “Someone like Joe, maybe Woo,” she says, and she’s especially focused on Woo: “He’s like hired muscle. It’s good to have hired muscle, especially if you don’t have muscle. You need someone who can help you get through challenges. If he’s going to win, you want to know that he’ll be on your side.”
As for the weaker players? “I don’t know who is going to be weaker than me,” she confesses. “I think I’m in the middle. I wouldn’t say I’m the weakest one, but…” Peih-Gee trails off, but only for half a second, before she starts cracking up. “Listen, you know, we’re all a little bit older! Let’s put it that way.”
“I did talk to Amanda right before I came out here,” she says, “and she was like, ‘Peege, you’re in such a good position! But you have to align with the newer players. It’s so cutthroat nowadays. They’re used to it. They know how it works. Have some older ones there, because they’ll be more loyal, and more willing to go along with what you want to do. They won’t be as used to it. But you have to get into an alliance on day one.'”
“I’m listening to Amanda,” she continues. “She knows what she’s doing.”
On Peih-Gee’s avoid list: Ciera Eastin, who ganked her own mother right out of Survivor: Blood vs Water. (Did I use “ganked” right? I don’t think I used that right.)
“I wouldn’t want to align with Ciera. I think she has a big hurdle to overcome,” says Peih-Gee. “She seems really cutthroat with the voting out the mom thing, and a little bit devious. It’s hard. People will think, ‘Well, you voted out your mom, and you won’t hesitate to vote for me.'”
“I’ve had this love/hate relationship with the audience,” she says. “Half the things I read about me when my season came out… half of the people just hated me. But a lot of the super fans seem to really like me. I think it’s because I was a bit of an antihero. I’m happy with that role.”
And she’s happy to continue that role, just as long as the people in the game aren’t looking at her as such.
“I hope I don’t come off as devious,” she says. “But I did throw a challenge. But how much will that stick out in people’s minds? I think the lasting impression for the rest of my season was being an underdog.”
“The first time you’re out here, you’re so concerned about the weather and food and just getting used to being on Survivor. That takes up half of your mind,” she says. “Now, we’ve all done that. It’s a secondary thought. Now, the biggest concern is the gameplay. I think that’s why returning seasons are so cutthroat.”
With that attitude in mind, perhaps it’s wisest for the players on Peih-Gee Law’s lane to watch their backs, because she’s heading straight for the jungle, waiting to attack, and if she can get there undetected, if she can pull it off, she could become a legendary champion in a league of her own .
