Survivor Heroes vs Villains | Why Sandra Won Again | David Bloomberg & Jessica Lewis

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 change it? Did the jurors vote against Russell and Parvati or for Sandra? Does it even matter? And what insights into Russell’s mind were revealed when David looked back at his original interviews? Now that they’ve done a full rewatch and David reviewed all his articles from the time with a fresh perspective, it’s time to take a new look at Why Sandra Won Again.
