Sam Phalen Survivor 49 Finale Reactions

Today, Rob Cesternino and Survivor 47’s Sam Phalen break down the Survivor 49 finale.

The Survivor 49 finale was packed with drama, unexpected moves. Rob Cesternino and Sam Phelan discuss it all. Savannah emerged as a unique and dynamic winner, combining challenge wins with honest, straightforward gameplay. Unlike many winners before her, Savannah’s approach was focused and unapologetic, leading the trio of herself, Rizzo, and Soph to dominate much of the late game.

Rob and Sam discuss:

• How Savannah’s clutch challenge wins and alliance management secured her victory.
• Sage’s emotional journey and her reaction to the jury’s reception.
• The final Tribal Council, including a throwback moment when Christina asked Savannah to name loved ones of jurors.
• Rizzo’s creative idol bluffing and speculation about how his game might evolve in Survivor 50.

The upcoming Survivor 50 was teased, featuring legendary returning players, celebrity cameos, and new twists from Billie Eilish, Zac Brown, Jimmy Fallon, and Mr. Beast.
