In his final words, ___ said his tribe voted him out because they didn’t value winning. Obviously that wasn’t the reason, but it highlights that being strong in challenges usually helps keep a player around in this early stage, so how did he overcome that advantage? He said coming into the game that his social game would be his superpower, but did it turn out to be his kryptonite? Special returning guest Lindsay Carmine joins David Bloomberg and Jessica Lewis to figure out what went wrong for him. At RHAP, we know Survivor, and we know Why __ Lost.

Some people have claimed that Claire didn’t even play Survivor because she sat out of all three immunity challenges. But challenges are not Survivor and Claire certainly did play the game. It was also suggested that sitting was the reason she was voted out, but that doesn’t cover the situation either. David Bloomberg and Jessica Lewis agree with what Frannie said on the show, that this vote was a lot more complicated. Indeed, that’s why they’re here – to go past the seemingly obvious that was used as an excuse and get to the true heart of the matter as they figure out Why Claire Lost.

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

Coach was probably the most melodramatic player in Survivor history, and this week’s journey through time takes David and special guest Sarah Carradine back to the vote against him in Tocantins. They discuss Coach’s unique view of the game and why it could never be a winning strategy, plus they take a trip down memory lane for so many of the other great (and not-so-great) Coach moments, including information from when David interviewed him at the time. Coach thought his Warrior Alliance would take him to the very end. Why did that damn evil wizard Stephen turn on him? How did Coach make it so far and why couldn’t he get to the end? Where could he possibly have gone wrong? It’s time to once again figure out Why Coach 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

David and Jessica look back at Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains and the vote where J.T. was sent packing thanks to his own idol. What lots of people remember was the stupidity of giving away his idol to Russell. But what was behind that decision and why did the Villains target him, in particular? It’s time to dig deeper into the move and everything that led up to it, including David’s own interview with J.T. at the time, as they figure out at Why JT Lost.

David and Jessica look back at Survivor: Micronesia and the vote against Eliza Orlins in the infamous effing stick episode. In this episode, there was little doubt who was getting booted. The question is what happened to put Eliza into this position. How much of her fate was due to bad luck and how much was related to her strategic attempts, personality, or threat level from her first appearance? Was there more she could’ve done to change it? Could she have done anything with that stick?! It’s time to once again figure out Why Eliza Lost.
