## Resource

Stephenie LaGrossa Kendrick, the latest player voted out of Survivor 50, joins The Exclusive to break down the wild Tribal Council that ended her game. The four-time player opens up about trusting Cirie Fields despite years of history, why she now calls that her biggest mistake, and how she believes her entire alliance was quietly taken out “one by one” without her realizing what was happening. She also reacts to Joe and Jonathan writing her name down, the coin toss twist she ultimately passed on, and why she says communication breakdowns led to her downfall. Plus, Stephenie reflects on the social game she wishes viewers saw more of and reveals whether she’d ever return to Survivor again—including the one other reality show she’d say yes to without hesitation.
