Survivor 48's Star Toomey on Eva Erickson targeting her

The tribe has spoken against Star Toomey — but now she’s speaking back.

In an exclusive interview with The Post, a “Survivor” Season 48 participant discussed her departure from the competition, highlighting how her former allies Eva Erickson and Joe Hunter were consistently aiming to eliminate her.

The contestant, Toomey, aged 28, shared that she has no regrets about entrusting her Hidden Immunity Idol to Erickson, aged 24, earlier in the season. However, she had hoped that this act would result in a different outcome.

According to Toomey, she had believed that giving the Idol to Erickson would strengthen their bond. She hoped it would serve as a gesture of goodwill or reassure Erickson that she was not an adversary. Nevertheless, as each episode unfolded, Erickson continued to target her.

“And I don’t understand why, because I’m like, ‘Girl, I thought we was cool. Can you keep my name out your mouth? You’re bringing too much attention,’” Toomey continued. “Every time, I’m like, ‘Girl, why you keep saying my name? I just gave you this idol.’ Maybe at that point I would hope that she would have played it for me or maybe been like, ‘Hey girl Thank you. I appreciate you. Here it is. Here’s it back. I think it might be you. Here’s your idol.’”

Toomey joked that Erickson had her “foot on the neck” all season, and responded to the other castaways saying she was “chaotic” on the island.

“A lot of the people are saying I’m all over the place. And I’m watching, I’m like, ‘I’m not. You guys are all over place. Y’all are chaotic. Y’all are paranoid. Y’all are the ones creating the problems,’” she said.

Toomey also told The Post she was surprised to see Hunter call her his “Kryptonite” on last night’s episode.

“In my mind, no one knows it but Joe wanted to work with me,” she shared. “I don’t know when he wanted to work with me first versus when him and Eva had that moment on their walk and they decided that they would work together. I don’t know. But in my mind he came to me day one. So at that point, I’m thinking we’re locked in.”

But Toomey said that once they reached the merge, Hunter didn’t show her any loyalty in return.

“I really don’t know why he called me his Kryptonite. The more I’m watching, he is giving Superman versus the Joker,” she joked. “He’s the Joker just keep on trying to set me up, blow me up. And I’m Superman just trying to dodge, dodge, dodge every attack against me.”

During her final episode, Toomey tried to organize a “revolution” against Erickson and Hunter’s majority alliance. But after Hunter won immunity, Toomey and the other people on the outs targeted each other, instead of Erickson.

“I went to Kamilla [Karthigesu] and I went to Mitch [Guerra]. I said, ‘Would you do Eva?’” Toomey recalled. “I don’t know what was said behind the scenes after I said, ‘Would you do Eva?’ Because I told Mary [Zheng] that, and then next thing I know, Mary’s like, ‘It’s between me and you.’”

“I’m watching Mitch, and he’s like, ‘I’ll have to think about it.’ And we already know in ‘Survivor,’ it’s either yes or no,” Toomey explained. “Anybody that tells you ‘I have to think about it,’ the answer is no. The answer is, ‘poor thing, bless your heart, get out of my face.’ And that’s exactly what he was saying to me.”

“Survivor” airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.
