This week David and Jessica look back at Survivor: Cagayan and the first appearance of Sarah Lacina. In her final words, Sarah said, “I don’t know why Kass flipped,” but she really should have because in many ways she was the cause of Kass flipping. At the same time she turned her Cops R Us partner Tony against her. How did she go from such a great position to a snuffed torch in just one episode? Before she could fix problems with her gameplay in order to win Game Changers and come so close in Winners At War, she made a number of mistakes. Join in this journey back in time to figure out Why Sarah Lost.

David and Jessica are looking back at Survivor: Cook Islands and a double-Tribal Council. It might not have been immediately obvious, but Cao Boi and Cristina had a lot of similarities. They both behaved in ways that annoyed their tribemates, and both came into the game not planning to play strategically. How did these commonalities get such different reactions in their tribes, but still end up in the same conclusion for each? What should they have done differently? David once again dives into his archives for information from his interviews and more as he and Jessica figure out Why Cao Boi and Cristina Lost.

David is once again able to use the information he gathered many years ago, including his own interview with Aaron, to fill in a lot of the details. We’ll see whether there really was an inevitable result and figure out Why Aaron Lost.

David and Jessica once again went back in time, this week to San Juan Del Sur and a Survivor episode that featured the self-destruction of Drew Christy.
