Survivor Why _____ Lost RHAPup

The plan going into Tribal Council seemed to be to vote out Tiffany. Even after the craziness, that was the final plan as well. The question is why that was the case. Tiffany was on the bottom and couldn’t seem to get out. She couldn’t even get the crabs to help her! After being voted out, she said it didn’t make sense to get rid of her instead of someone who was in a more threatening position. Ma...

Sydney had a lot of things going for her on Survivor and there were also plenty of complications flying around in the form of advantages and people playing around them. But there were reasons she was one of three choices to vote out. David and Jessica cover Sydney’s game and where she went wrong even when she thought she was doing it right. Plus of course they address all the twists and turns that...

Each week David and Jessica talk about what a losing player did well and not so well. This time, they’re talking about the good, at least as far as the players go!

Genie said in interviews, “It’s very obvious I play with my heart.” There’s no doubt of that, but does it fully explain where things went awry for her? Did Shan and Ricard make the right decision to keep each other, and how have they continued to make it through the Ua tribe's destruction? David and Jessica dive into all Genie did look at what factors impacted every facet of the way she played Sur...

After JD was voted out, he asked his tribemates, “Any particular reason?” They didn’t answer, but that’s why David and Jessica are here. Was JD’s key mistake getting caught with his pants down? Did Shan make the right decision? It’s time to piece together all the available information and answer both of these questions plus many more to figure out Why JD Lost.

Brad’s final words were that he put too much trust in one person and got wrapped up in the fun of the game. Both of these are somewhat true, and even more true was that advantages were zipping around like butterflies on broccoli trees. But David and Jessica explain how that isn’t what caused Brad to go out of the game and there were several hidden layers in addition to some rather obvious ones. Th...

Voce studied up on the Why ___ Lost podcast and David’s rules, to the point that we find out here how he snuck them into Fiji for the pregame. But he was still voted out third – what happened?! People were worried in the preseason that he might be too obnoxious or overplay, but that wasn’t it. Rob went so far as to say Voce didn’t seem to really do anything wrong. But a situation like this is why...

David and Jessica are back to discuss what happened to the first two players voted out of Survivor 41 – and they brought along special guest Rick Devens to make it a party and add his insights! In both of the first two votes of the season, there was a push to target someone because of how they did in a challenge. In one case, it apparently succeeded; in the other, it backfired completely. Why woul...

David and Jessica are back for the final trip down memory lane as they look at the winner of the #1 season on RHAP’s rankings! Sandra arrived at Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains as perhaps the least-respected winner. While other winners like Parvati came in with targets on their backs, there was none on Sandra. Did this work to her advantage? How was her game similar to Pearl Islands and how did she...

David and Jessica are back to discuss how the Queen began her trip to becoming Queen! Sandra is known for her “anyone but me” strategy, but was that her plan from the beginning or something that happened along the way? Her goal wasn’t to control the whole game but rather to be an eager participant and ensure she didn’t get voted off, while maneuvering her way to get the important things she wanted...

Lots of people come into Survivor with a plan, but few come in with one that’s specific down to the types of people they will align with, and almost nobody can actually make that happen and ride it all the way to a win. Todd did it all in China and it worked spectacularly. The question for David and Jessica is how he made it work so well when it often doesn’t work for other people. Now that they’v...

David and Jessica have a special twist on their usual Why ___ Won podcasts for the season countdown as they not only cover Survivor: The Amazon from the viewpoint of Jenna’s win, but also look at Rob’s loss! How could the person shown as a self-centered, spoiled brat end up not only winning, but doing so in the biggest landslide in Survivor history at the time? How did Rob, the strategic mastermin...
