Feisty Survivor: China evictee Sherea Lloyd claims she was pushed "over the edge" by a team mate during her time on the reality TV show.

Sherea, a 26-year-old secondary school teacher from Atlanta, was voted out of

Survivor: China

after swapping tribes and being picked off by her new team mates.

She told Stuff.co.nz she was usually "pretty quiet" but her regular outbursts at team mate Dave Cruser were a result of frustration over his goofball antics.

"I tried to bite my tongue as much as possible but I got to the point where I couldn't hold back any more," she said.

"He was our leader but he wasn't leading us well. He wasn't taking our opinions into consideration."

Sherea said an argument over some shells she was trying to throw out that Dave wanted as keepsakes was the last straw.

"I was merely throwing them out like we do every day. I think that really sent me over the edge."

Despite the frequent outbursts, Sherea said Survivor: China only showed a small part of who she really is.

"That's just a snippet of who I am. The majority of the time I was pretty quiet (but) I'm not really unhappy with how I was portrayed. It's not a problem with me."

And the teacher - who was often seen wearing just a bra on the show because of a lack of clothes - said her students were right behind her.

"No one really commented about (my nudity). Their comments were 'why did you have on that dress?'. They didn't really have a problem with it. I've had a good reaction from my parents as well."

She said Todd would win the $1 million prize.

"He's been a big fan of the show, he knows that game inside and out and he's running the show right now."
