Survivor 40 | Why __ Lost Episode 7 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

Many people were excited to see Yul return to Survivor, but the question was always whether the other players would be less excited and more worried about him. He did very well in the early goings, so what changed? David and Jessica are back on video again to discuss why Yul couldn’t continue to dodge the target, and they also have bonus coverage of what they thought about Sandra leaving the Edge of Extinction! It’s time to figure out Why Yul Lost.

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
