Survivor: Nicaragua: Double quitters make Survivor history

History was made on Survivor: Nicaragua last night when not one, but two players threw in their buffs at tribal council. Quitting the game is nothing new to viewers but after 28 miserable days with virtually no food and harsh conditions, bad girl NaOnka Mixon and purple Kelly (aka Kelly Shinn) let it be known to their tribe mates early in the day that they wanted out. Both cited physical and mental exhaustion as the reason.

Known for her outrageous shenanigans, could NaOnka have just been pulling another stunt in the game with her shocking announcement? Many thought yes, but once she?d surrendered her hidden immunity Idol (one she had fought so hard to get) to Chase, viewers realized she might actually be serious about her decision - a decision host Jeff Probst was not pleased with.

?I had just had it,? NaOnka tells In Touch. ?My mind was made up. That weather was getting worse and Kelly looked like she was about to break.? Sentiments echoed by Kelly. ?I could not physically be there anymore,? she reveals. ?It was tearing me down. ?

That night, with tribal council in full swing, both women stayed true to their word and advised Jeff they would be quitting. And despite some stern words from the host regarding their decision, they were added to the jury who will vote on who wins the prize money. ?The fact we get to stay is awesome,? says NaOnka. ?We get a say in who gets the million dollars. Purple Kelly and I played the hell out of this game and lasted 28 days of pure hell.?

Today neither player regrets their decision nor how they played the game, especially purple Kelly, who knew nothing about Survivor when she auditioned. She also wants to clear the air surrounding bad-gal NaOnka and those onscreen antics that outraged some viewers. ?They showed a lot of bad stuff with Na, ? she tells In Touch. ?But she kept a lot of positive energy around the camp. They can say what they want, but she was a lot of fun out there and when you have someone to make you laugh when times are hard that, means everything.?
