‘Survivor 48’ star Stephanie Berger doesn’t think the tribes are ‘evenly matched’

nypost.com:

“Survivor” castaway Stephanie Berger agrees with some of the online sentiment from viewers that the Season 48 tribes are not “evenly matched.”After the 38-year-old tech product lead from Brooklyn was voted out during Wednesday’s two-hour premiere, the Post asked her if she thinks her Vula tribe was outgunned physically by the two other tribes.“There are quite a few college athletes on my season, and I am not one of them,” Berger said. “To my knowledge, nor are any of the members of Vula.

It is a tough tribe.”“And look, you can always make up time on the puzzle,” she continued. “The puzzle is the great equalizer.

But Kevin and I are doing the puzzle, and Kevin’s dislocated his shoulder, and we’ve only got three arms on that puzzle. And it is a heavy, big puzzle that you’re trying to wedge pieces in.

So it really requires two hands.”“So were we evenly matched? That’s a production decision,” Berger said. “They decide what even looks like.”Berger acknowledged that most of the strong people on the season were placed on the Lagi and Civa tribes.“I’m standing there being like, there’s a chick who could bench press me,” she said. “Eva [Erickson] could put me over her shoulder, and I’ve got, like, six inches on her.”“I’m looking for David, he’s doing the pull-ups,” she added of stunt performer David Kinne.
