Survivor South Africa: Champions | Episodes 10 and 11 RHAPup

Survivor South Africa RHAPup co-hosts Mike Bloom and Shannon Guss discuss the Survivor SA Champions merge. This vote consisted of two episodes, idols, strange twists, rogue votes, split vote mechanisms, many swing vote options, and the Salvation Cup, and Shannon and Mike break it all down seven years later. Remember, whatever they say is canon and what you must believe.

Survivor: Nicaragua | Why Fabio Won | David Bloomberg & Jessica Lewis

Fabio began Survivor: Nicaragua being called a “dumb blonde” but ended it with the million-dollar check. Along the way, he certainly wasn’t the most strategic player and often didn’t even seem to know what was going on. How the heck does somebody like that ever win? After David and Jessica did a fresh rewatch of the season and David reviewed his older articles and interviews while Jessica went into a Reddit rabbit-hole, it’s time to take a new look at Why Fabio Won.

As we take a look back at past seasons of Survivor on the RHAP All-Time Top 40 Season Rankings, some winners make us scratch our heads and think hmm how did they win? Today, David Bloomberg (@DavidBloomberg) and Jessica Lewis (@jessicalewis89) are here to apply David’s seven rules of Survivor to Fabio’s game. They walk us through the season of Survivor: Nicaragua as they explain Why Fabio Won!

David Bloomberg’s Seven Rules of Survivor: 

1) Scheme and Plot

2) But Don’t Scheme and Plot Too Much/Keep Your Scheming Secret/Don’t Backstab Until You Absolutely Need To

3) Be Flexible!

4) Don’t Let Your Emotions Control You

5) Pretend To Be Nice/Play the Social Game – Act Like an Adult/Don’t Drink Too Much/Don’t Be Lazy or Show Your Bad Habits/Keep Your Politics and Controversial Beliefs To Yourself

6) Don’t Be Too Much of a Threat

7) Trust (Almost) Nobody

Appendix A: The Jury Phase

Conclusion

Do you think Fabio was the most deserving winner of this season? If not, who should have won and why? Head on over to Twitter to let us know who should have won by tagging @RobHasApodcast and using the hashtag #RHAP!
