CBS’ Survivor modified the TV world when it premiered again in 2000, and it is nonetheless going sturdy in the present day. Arguably one of many best reality shows on the air, generations of followers have been tuning into season 50 on CBS (and streaming with a Paramount+ subscription). The fandom continues to be in mourning over Cirie Fields being betrayed by Rizo and voted out on Day 23, and Rob Cesternino spoke to CinemaBlend about the way it was Ozzy’s blindside that finally tanked his sport.

The cast of Survivor 50 included each legendary gamers and New Era contestants, and the outcomes have been fairly explosive. Ozzy not using his idol during the split vote resulted in his elimination, and two-time participant (and founding father of the Rob Has a Podcast Network) Cesternino spoke to me about how Cirie’s sport was finally sunk on account of her #1 being voted out. In his phrases:

If Aubry goes house to that break up tribal council as a substitute of Ozzy, this can be a very completely different Final seven. Where there’s Ozzy and Tiffany and Cirie, and that is sort of a 3 that is not going wherever. Is Rizzo flipping towards Ozzy and Cirie at this level? And so I believe that perhaps they’re gonna nonetheless vote out Rick Devins at seven, and now you get to the ultimate six the place it is Ozzy, Cirie, Tiffany and Rizzo. Who’s defecting, who’s leaving?

There’s a purpose he is a Survivor know-it-all and the present’s premiere voice in podcasting. This evaluation undoubtedly is sensible, and may clarify how Cirie as soon as once more was robbed of Survivor‘s prize money. It’s simply too dangerous that she and Ozzy have been stored separate throughout the tribal break up; she was proven serving to to tell his technique plenty of instances all through Season 50.

I’ve been talking with Rob weekly about every new episode of Survivorand again in April I predicted that Cirie might be vulnerable in her alliance with Ozzy and Rizo. Ultimately the latter betrayed her, possible as a result of he would by no means have been capable of beat the Traitors winner at Final Tribal. Later in our chat, Cesternino shared extra about what he thinks would have occurred if Ozzy caught round, telling me:

So is Rizzo gonna leap to go vote with Jonathan and Joe? I believe that Rizzo is sort of nonetheless locked in with them, and I believe that both Jonathan or Joe exit on the last six. And this can be a a lot better scenario for Cirie by way of the way it’s gonna play out. And I believe that actually, that it may be Rizzo versus Tiff for who’s gonna sit within the last three with Ozzy and Cirie.

Is anybody else’s FOMO by the roof proper now? There have been loads of followers hoping that Survivor 50 It was lastly Cirie’s time to drag out a W, however she was voted off within the season’s penultimate episode. And it appears fairly believable that she may have made it to the top if Ozzy hadn’t been voted out on Day 21 throughout the break up tribal council. No marvel Rizo has been getting a lot hate from followers on-line.

You can try my dialog with Rob Cesternino beneath:

The last 5 will face off this week on Survivor 50’s 3-hour premiere, and it ought to be fascinating to see who pulls out the W. I’m personally hoping to see both Aubry or Tiffany take the title of Sole Survivor, however all the returning gamers are hoping to make their approach to Final Tribal. We’ll simply should see what goes down, and the way spicy the reside reunion is.
