Survivor: Gabon | Why Bob Won | David Bloomberg & Jessica Lewis

Many people have Bob near or at the bottom of the Survivor winner rankings. Not to spoil anything, but there are some very good reasons for that. He’s a very nice guy, but David and Jessica have a job to do, which means telling it like it is when it comes to Bob’s game play, as well as that of his fellow finalists, Susie and Sugar. Someone had to win this season, and it obviously wasn’t going to be strategy that carried the day. So what was it that landed Bob the million dollars? After a fresh Gabon rewatch a new look at David’s older articles and interviews along with other information, it’s time to take a new look at Why Bob Won.

As we take a look back at past seasons of Survivor on the RHAP All-Time Top 40 Season Rankings, some winners make us scratch our heads and think hmm how did they win?
