Genevieve Mushaluk was barely visible in the first few weeks of Survivor 47, pushed aside in the edit by flashier players who hogged the airtime by diving head-first into wells or complaining when others did not clap when they opened a coconut. But everyone is paying attention to Genevieve now.
After masterminding the exits of former Lavo tribemates Kishan Patel and Sol Yi, Genevieve is very much on the minds of both viewers and her fellow competitors. And in an exclusive deleted scene from this week’s episode that can be watched above, we see just how concerned those competitors actually are.

While Genevive chats nonchalantly with folks like Rachel LaMont and Sam Phalen, Teeny Chirichillo and Andy Rueda take definite notice. “Everything she does sketches me out,” remarks Teeny, who has now been burned twice by Genevieve.
“She’s so scary,” Andy agrees. “She’s very terrifying for me.” To drive the point home, Andy proceeds to call her “scary” twice more, as well as “extremely frightening.”
Clearly needing to one-up Andy on the scare meter, Teeny dubs Genevieve “scary” three more times, while also noting that “the scariest person out here is this white Canadian.” She refers to the 33-year-old corporate lawyer as a “horror movie on legs” as well, which might be my favorite description of any player ever.

But hey, maybe Teeny is just exaggerating her fear to paint a bigger target on Genevieve’s back after being blindsided by the previous vote. Let’s see what she has to say in a private confessional interview: “Genevieve I think exposed herself as the very calculated player that she is,” Teeny says to the camera. “She is an assassin out here. I’ve known it from the beginning. I tried to play with her, but now she’s proved to me she cannot be trusted. I know Andy and I, we are scared of her.”
Okay then! Clearly not exaggerating. But wait, because not unlike a Ginsu knife commercial, there’s more! “This skinny Canadian woman is, I think, the biggest fearmongerer in the game,” Teeny continues. “And only because she has lied to me, manipulated me, used me in a way, I feel now like I have no choice but to take the lesson she taught me in cutting emotion out of this game and using it against her now.”

Bam! Strong words from a strong competitor. This Teeny vs. Genevieve clash is clearly shaping up as the biggest U.S. vs. Canada conflict since Brigadier General George Izard engaged Lieutenant Colonel Charles de Salaberry in the infamous 1813 Battle of the Chateauguay — a battle, it should be noted, that did not end particularly well for the Americans.
