"I want to set the record clear: It was not funny."
Despite thinking she had a clear path to the show's finals, Kat said she held no grudges against Kim and her tribe mates.
"I don't hold grudges - I'm a sweetie. Don't get me wrong, I was hurt. I felt like I was taking care of these women and protecting (them).
"They stole that from me. I left my heart on that God-damned challenge."
The quirky contestant left her mark on the show with a series of random incidents and outbursts. At one tribal council she admitted she didn't know what an appendix was, and there is footage on YouTube of her farting on a tribe mate.
But she wanted the world to know she wasn't a "dumb blonde".
"People are either going to love me, or not care for me. I'm not a dumb blonde, I'm very quirky, I'm very interesting.
"When you're starving for 33 days you get a little loopy. I'd rather have people laughing at me than not laughing at all."
She said she enjoyed watching her performance back on TV.
"If I was watching it from an outsider's point of you, I would have been like, 'Oh my god, this girl is hilarious'.
"There were a lot of things I did that weren't even aired that were just insane."
Kat believed she'd played a near-perfect game of Survivor.
"I played a great game, I made a great alliance, I did amazing in the challenges, I had a great sense of humour, I had a great attitude about everything.
"I was really funny and cute and sweet and very lovable. I can't say that I played a bad game - but I made bad decisions at the end."
