Kamilla Karthigesu is calling out co-stars Jonathan Young, Stephenie LaGrossa, Chrissy Hofbeck and Colby Donaldson for their major pregame alliance on “Survivor 50.”
Karthigesu exclusively told Page Six that she heard on the island that Young, LaGrossa and Hofbeck, who all voted her out on Wednesday’s episode, made the alliance before filming.
“There was a little indication, but I choose to ignore it,” the software engineer said of being blindsided by the trio.
The 32-year-old claims she heard about the alleged alliance from Mike White after he went on a journey with Savannah Louie and Donaldson in the first episode.
“What he came back and told us from his journey sounded so unbelievable,” Karthigesu says of the “White Lotus” creator.
“Basically, Savannah started grilling Colby on the journey, and Colby spills the names of all these people who were in some pregame alliance together. Jonathan, Stephenie, and Chrissy were three of those names.”
Karthigesu continued, “So I was like, ‘Oh, is this real? Was Mike telling us the truth, or did Mike just want us to side with him instead of them?’ And then once the votes were read, that was the shock on my face. I was like, ‘Damn.'”
The “Survivor 48” alum said the group was being called the “Zoom alliance” on the island — but now she knows more about the pregame rendezvous.
“Turns out they weren’t on Zoom,” Karthigesu shared. “It was just regular calls because someone in the alliance told me a lot about it.”
But according to Karthigesu, one person who wasn’t in the alliance was Joe Hunter, whom she played with on Season 48.
“People keep including Joe in this alliance. Joe was not part of this,” she insisted. “That’s the one name where I’m like, Joe’s name was not thrown out in this thing at all.”
“And I keep seeing Joe get wrapped into it. The names were confirmed to me by someone in the alliance. Joe was not part of it.”
Several other “Survivor 50” players have outed alleged pregame alliances following their eliminations.
Louie told Page Six last month that herself, Hunter and Jenna Lewis were immediately on the outs of their original tribe because of pre-existing relationships among the other players.
“I’m not saying everybody here hopped on a Zoom call and formulated a plan, but you do have pre-existing relationships and it can make it really hard as someone who comes into the game without any of that,” the “Survivor 49” winner said.
Meanwhile, Charlie Davis told us last week that Dee Valladares and Rizo Velovic connected before the season thanks to their mutual pal Sophi Balerdi.
“Dee had a FaceTime before the season with Rizo,” Davis alleged. “I learned that obviously after the fact.”
“Survivor 50” airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.
