WATCH | Emotional Steffi shooketh by HECTIC Survivor SA blindside: I wanted to inspire women

In what was one of the biggest blindsides of this season's competition, Steffi was voted off Survivor SA: Island of Secrets on Thursday night. 

She became the last outcast to be booted off ahead of next week's finale and the latest member of the jury that will decide this season's winner.

Steffi had hatched a plan for an all-female top three and tried to rope in Nicole and Laetitia in a last-ditch effort to take Rob and Durao out in an epic blindside.

But then Rob won the immunity challenge and it all backfired spectacularly when Nicole backtracked on the plan.

At Tribal Council Nicole gave her Immunity Idol to Durao, while Rob played his for Nicole and Laetitia played her's to protect herself.

Steffi, like many of us at home, couldn't believe her eyes and it showed on her face. 

Talking to TshisaLIVE, Steffi said she was still stunned by Nicole's move.

"I believed that it could have been an all-women final but you can't take accountability for other people's actions. I feel like no matter what I would have done, Nicole would have responded that way. I did the best I could do."

She said that Nicole saw her as a threat in the final and made the move.

But will she make Nicole pay when she votes as a member of the jury?

"It is difficult to keep your emotions aside and just respect the game. I will give it to the person who played the game best. Of course, I would love to have a winner that isn't a big manipulator but it seems like that might be the case. You have to two hanger-ons and two strong players."
