Mike Bloom (@AMikeBloomType) is here to chat to the cast of Survivor 49! Join us to learn a bit about the 18 new castaways to be tested on the islands of Fiji.

Mike Bloom kicks off the Survivor 49 preseason interviews with Jawan Pitts, a 28-year-old video editor from New Jersey now living in Los Angeles. Jawan’s journey from superfan to contestant is highlighted, including how RHAP interviews helped him prepare for the casting process.

The conversation delves into Jawan’s Survivor fandom, his move across the country, and his strategy for the game. Jawan shares his plan to prioritize allies over advantages and position himself as the “lovable little brother” to his tribemates. He also discusses his concerns about being too open and vulnerable, a trait he sees as both a strength and a potential weakness.

Mike and Jawan discuss:

– Jawan’s “allies over advantages” approach to the game

– His superhero analogies for other players, including himself as Nick Fury

– Concerns about balancing genuine connections with strategic gameplay

– Thoughts on dealing with difficult personalities in the game

– Criteria for jury votes, valuing risk-taking and game-changing moves

As Jawan prepares to hit the beach, will his superfan knowledge and strategic planning translate into success in the game? Can he find the right balance between forming genuine connections and making big moves?

Tune in to hear Mike Bloom’s full interview with Jawan Pitts and get ready for an exciting season of Survivor 49!
