## Resource

Survivor: China winner Todd Herzog joins The Exclusive to break down the Survivor 50 Final 5 and predict who will ultimately take home the $2 million prize. Todd shares his candid thoughts on Joe and Jonathan’s “old school” style of gameplay, why he believes Tiffany could win if she survives Final 5, and whether Rizo’s flashy betrayal of Cirie and Ozzy was actually a smart move. He also weighs in on Aubry’s edit, Amanda Kimmel almost returning for the season, the impact of pre-gaming in all-star Survivor, and why Final Tribal Council could be far messier than fans expect.
