She swept the last three immunity challenges.
She tied the record for most individual immunity victories by a woman in a season with four.
She did math on the fly.

But it was still not enough for Chrissy Hofbeck to winSurvivor: Heroes v. Healers v. Hustlers.
Does she feel the new twist was fair?
Did the jury not respect her accomplishments?
And what could she have done differently to have won?
We asked her all that and more.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: You won four individual immunities, including the last three.
So, were you robbed?CHRISSY HOFBECK:No, I dont think so.
First of all, I believe in the game and that the right person always wins.
I loved my game.
I am so proud of my game.
I think I deserved to win.
But Ben also played an awesome game and I think Ben also deserved to win.
We both unfortunately happened to be playing the same season.
Although I dont really mean unfortunately because I loved playing with him so much.
And I think he loved playing with me.
I think we both pushed each other to extremes that we didnt know we could do.
And I cant fault them for that.
The other thing is, I came out here for an experience, and I got 39 days.
I got the full experience, so the fact that I didnt win the million dollars thats okay.
This whole experience is just such a gift.
I honestly do feel like our season had a great winner.
Of course, I feel like it would have a great winner if I was the winner too.
I can definitely understand why people would vote for Ben.
I felt like Devon this is not an advantage.
Here goes Ben again, staying in the game.
But I did feel like I wanted to take Ryan to the end.
We had played the game together, but I also thought I had the best chance of beating him.
Honestly, my heart broke for Devon.
I love that guy.
But my heart was breaking for Devon.
So that wasnt great.
Im too much of a lover of this game to say it was unfair.
However, I think it really gave Devon a raw deal.
But thats the game we signed up for.
Let say there is no fire-making twist or that Devon beats Ben there.
So truly at the time I thought Devon was a surfer bro.
He was playing masterfully.
I dont know what the answer is.
All I know is I played a way better game than I ever thought I could play.
I never went into this game thinking I would come in second place and win four immunity challenges.
And win the awesome overnight reward with Devon.
There are a thousand things I never thought I would do.
So as Jeff was reading the votes, I dont feel that I was super surprised at that point.
I really was expecting it.
Ben deserved to win.
I mean, I deserved to win also.
But I dont feel like I lost the game to someone who played less of a game than me.
If you go out before the final three, you have a sense of closure.
You know how you did in the game.
I would be a liar if I said I didnt want to win.
I wanted to win because I wanted to be the Sole Survivor.
Im really okay Ben taking the money.
The only reason we know that is because we were watching how often they changed the 45-minute tapes.
Going out there I really felt that Ben and Ryan were two-on-one going against me.
But I just didnt want to say anything bad about them, which is probably why I lost.
I felt like it was their dream too and I didnt want to crush it.
And I was good with where it was.
I was very surprised.
But you didnt necessarily see a lot of that.
But Im not beating myself up over that.
I feel like I played the best game that I could.
I recognize watching it back that I should have put myself out there more.
I really could only do what I could do.
And honestly, I feel like I did more than I expected I could do.
If you get the call again would you go out there and play again?I dont know.
I think that could probably be arranged, Chrissy.Every day out there was such a gift.
I feel good about how I did, so what do I have to prove?
