Summary
The latest player voted out of Survivor 50, Rick Devens, joins The Exclusive to break down his “messy” gameplay, the fake idol move that turned him into a massive target, and why he has no regrets about playing Survivor on “hard mode.” The fan-favorite strategist opens up about the emotional reaction to his return season, reveals that members of the jury told him they were rooting for him to win, and explains the key difference between his chaotic gameplay style and Joe's “honor and integrity” approach. Rick also reflects on getting close to Final Tribal Council, being an alternate, and why he’d say yes to playing Survivor again “of course.”
