Survivor Marquesas Episode 3 | Why __ Lost RHAPup with David Bloomberg & Jessica Lewis

Each week this season on our Survivor Podcast, David Bloomberg & Jessica Lewis will talk about why each voted out player “lost the game”. For more on David’s Survivor rules check out his most recent update… What Island of the Idols Survivors Should Have Learned

Hunter came into the game with all the tools he would need if he were ever stranded on a deserted island. But this island wasn’t quite deserted, as he had to get along with his fellow tribemates. David and Jessica look back at his situation and put it into both the context of both today and at the time. Where did he go wrong? Was he right to call the others “knuckleheads” or was he just not playing the right game? And why is David having such a disagreement with his younger self? It’s time to not just figure out, but completely re-evaluate, Why Hunter Lost.

To review the short version of David’s Rules, here is the quick version:

Rule 1: Scheme and Plot

Rule 3: Be Flexible!

Rule 4: Don’t Let Your Emotions Control You

Rule 5: Pretend To Be Nice/Play the Social Game (and Keep Your Politics and Controversial Beliefs To Yourself)

Rule 6: Don’t Be Too Much of a Threat

Rule 7: Know How to Deal with Idols and Advantages

Appendix A: Make Your Votes Count – Keep in Mind Your End Goal
