Summary
Why ___ Won and Others Lost: Survivor 49 Finale
Survivor 49 has crowned its winner, Savannah! We often hear from some people that the jury just votes for whoever they like best at the end. Throughout this season, it was clear Savannah did not fit that description. But the majority still voted for her! How did she overcome that part of her game and what other aspects balanced it out to get her the win? Why couldn’t Sophi and Sage convince the jury they were more deserving? And what caused Rizo and Kristina to be knocked out before Final Tribal Council? David Bloomberg and Jessica Lewis wrap up the season by answering all of this and much more! At RHAP, we know Survivor, and we know Why Savannah Won, and Sophi, Sage, Rizo, and Kristina Lost.
