Survivor 49 Preseason Interview: Steven Ramm

Mike Bloom (@AMikeBloomType) is here to chat to the cast of Survivor 49! Join us to learn a bit about the 18 new castaways to be tested on the islands of Fiji.

Mike Bloom interviews Steven Ramm, the final member of the Hina tribe, in this Survivor 49 preseason interview. Steven, a 35-year-old rocket scientist from Denver, brings a unique blend of technical expertise and creative passion to the game.

Steven shares his journey from aerospace engineering to Survivor fandom, sparked by seeing Rupert steal shoes in Pearl Islands. He discusses how his undiagnosed hearing loss led to developing keen observational skills, which he plans to use as a “supermassive black hole” in the game. Steven aims to orbit around brighter stars while making strategic moves behind the scenes.

Mike and Steven discuss:

– Steven’s strategy to be a “well-rounded” player, balancing social and strategic elements

– Plans to use his observational skills to read body language and social dynamics

– Concerns about overthinking, a habit from his scientific background

– Desire to find “redundancies” or multiple options in his gameplay

– Unique perspective as a newer fan with a diverse skill set

Will Steven’s cosmic strategy launch him to Survivor stardom, or will his overthinking cause his game to implode? Tune in to hear Mike and Steven’s full discussion on adapting scientific precision to Survivor’s social experiment.
