Survivor 40 | Why __ Won Episode FINALE 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

David and Jessica are here with their Survivor finale podcast! Tony came into this season almost universally expected to go out early as a big threat, yet he didn’t receive a single vote against him the whole season. How did he do it? What did other players think of his game? And how did the other members of the final six do in their own attempts to come up with the $2 million prize? It’s time to figure out Why Tony Won, Why Michele, Sarah, Ben, and Denise Lost, and Why Natalie Lost Again.

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

Rule 1: Scheme and Plot

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

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

Appendix B: The Jury Phase

You can also get the poster version of these rules drawn by Erik Reichenbach right here!

Join us again next week when we discuss the next player voted out of the game.
