Actually, michel, we did see it a couple times.

Chelsea tried to contain herself but lost control of her emotions several times. She screwed the men out of the chickens when she had a chance to win points from them. She told Leif to "shut the eff up" when he was celebrating after a challenge win. She got after Troyzan pretty good when he celebrated his wins. She got after Kat when she didn't pick Tarzan or Christina to go on reward, and she complained a couple times about Christina not deserving to be there.

It is no surprise that some of that got back to Christina, prompting her to ask her question.

Chelsea may have wanted/needed to put her emotions away, but she failed several times.

As I defended these actions during the season, I would do so now. They may have killed her social game, which killed her chance of winning, but they also made her an entertaining player to watch.

The season needed that because Kim was the Ivan Lendl of Survivor. All strategy and no play makes Kim a very dull girl.

As I maintained throughout my insistence that Kim, Chelsea, and Sabrina would be the F3, without the aid of Spoilers I might add, I believe Kim stuck with that F3 for mainly 2 reasons: 1) she wanted to be loyal to at least one alliance so no one could say she lied to everyone, a fairly normal tactic, and 2) she knew Chelsea and Sabrina would take her to the Finals if she didn't win the FIC. THAT was her biggest hurdle.

Ironically, I believe Kim saved her alliance mates by winning those ICs, and not herself. She would have been simply going to the Finals with different people if she had not won the ICs.
