## Resource

Big Brother 16 winner and Traitors alum Derrick Levasseur joins The Exclusive to break down Episode 8 of Survivor 50, including the double elimination twist and the Tribal Council that sent both Chrissy and Coach home. Derrick shares why, as a player, he would “hate” a twist like this but as a fan finds it “interesting,” weighs in on whether the right targets went home, and reacts to Devens’ flashy idol play and its impact on the vote. He also dives into the evolving power structure of the game, explains why players like Cirie and Rizo are in the strongest positions, and discusses how the “middle” players could ultimately control the outcome—plus who he sees as the biggest threat heading into next week.
