Why ___ Won (And the Others Lost) Survivor 47

The Survivor 47 Final 4 could be broken down into two pairs. Two of them were threats to win, two weren’t. Two claimed to be underdogs who stuck around due to their own gameplay while two didn’t have the same claim. In the end, it came down to a decision between Rachel and Sam. They fought it out in Final Tribal Council, but the real battle took place over the course of weeks leading up to that. David Bloomberg and Jessica Lewis look at what each of the Final 4 did right to get this far into the game and how one of them rose above the others. At RHAP, we know Survivor, and we know Why Rachel Won, and Sam, Sue, and Teeny Lost.
