This week, David Bloomberg & Jessica Lewis talk about the reasons why Christian Hubicki lost Survivor David vs Goliath. Christian did so many things right during his time on Survivor. All the other players liked him, he had multiple lines of information flowing to him, and he always knew what was going on. Where did it all go wrong? Was it at the Carl vote? Why dideveryone want him out of the game? And was there anything he could he have done to prevent it? David and Jessica look at the whole situation and run all the algorithms as they figure out Why Christian Lost.

This week, David Bloomberg & Jessica Lewis talk about the reasons why Gabby Pascuzzi lost Survivor David vs Goliath. There has already been a lot of discussion about whether or not Gabby made the right move in the right way at the right time. Also, we saw that Gabby was an emotional person, but did that factor into her game play or did she keep the two separate? David and Jessica look at all the various aspects of this decision, from the immediate impact to the long-term thought process. Was it the timing, the execution, the other players involved, or a combination? They take it all into account and figure out Why Gabby Lost.

Alec and Carl went out back-to-back but had very different playing styles. Alec tried to work with everyone while Carl was more attached to his specific allies. What did each of them do to lead to their own downfall? How could they have potentially avoided it? Was it just Alec being a challenge beast and Carl being the Godfather or was it more complicated? David and special guest Shannon Gaitz pull together all the information as they discuss Why Alec and Carl Lost.

For more on David's rules of what David's Survivor rules are, listen to our "What Hero, Healer, and Hustler Survivors Should Have Learned". This week, David Bloomberg & Jessica Lewis talk about the reasons why Dan Rengering lost Survivor David vs Goliath. Dan figured he was in the perfect situation. He knew his name had been floated, but the Goliaths had a numbers advantage and, more importantly, he had an idol. He played it perfectly, but still had his torch snuffed. It would be easy to say he lost simply because of a surprise new advantage in the game, but there are too many questions for that. Why did his name get out there? How did the Davids know he had that idol? Why did he need to rely on an idol instead of strategy to save himself? David and Jessica pull together all the threads to explain how a previously unknown advantage doesn’t explain it all as they discuss Why Dan Lost.

This week, David Bloomberg & Jessica Lewis talk about the reasons why John Hennigan lost Survivor David vs Goliath. John thought he was in a good spot, staying Goliath-strong while being friends with just about everyone. But looking back now in interviews, he recognized some problems with his game. Was he right?

This week, David Bloomberg & Jessica Lewis talk about the reasons why Elizabeth Olson lost Survivor David vs Goliath. We saw the highs and lows of Elizabeth on Survivor, from pulling together an alliance to save Lyrsa to having a complete meltdown over the tribe’s shelter bed.
