Exit Interview: Eighth Elimination on Survivor 49
Exit Interview: Eighth Elimination on Survivor 49
Rob Cesternino (@RobCesternino) interviews the latest castaway voted off the Survivor 49 island, followed by This Week In Survivor History with Jordan Kalish (@JordanKalish) where Rob plays against an RHAP patron.
Today, Rob speaks with the eighth castaway voted out of Survivor 49.
Rob Cesternino sits down with Nate Moore to break down the big blindside and shifting alliances from this week’s episode. Joined by Nate fresh from his whirlwind exit, Rob digs into the moments leading up to Tribal Council and what really went wrong for Nate’s game.
The conversation centers around Nate’s efforts to fit in with a much younger cast, playing alongside tribe members who are years younger and deeply immersed in online culture. Nate describes the subtle signs that Sage and Juwan might flip, the challenge of repairing relationships after Shannon spills too much, and how fractured alliances on old Hina set the stage for this week’s vote. The discussion also explores whether targeting Christina instead of Steven might have changed Nate’s fate, and why holding back his Marvel career from the group may have cost him valuable social capital.
– Nate Moore reveals the warning signs he felt on the night of his vote out
– Analysis of how Shannon’s comments inadvertently fractured tribal bonds
– Insight into the generational gap and how it shaped Nate’s Survivor story
– Close call strategies: the debate of targeting Kristina vs. Steven at the vote
– Nate’s reflections on secrecy around his Marvel background and its impact
As Rob and Nate reflect, the question remains—would revealing his “secret identity” have built stronger connections or just made Nate a bigger target? What does this blindside mean for the shifting alliances going forward, and who will step up after Nate’s exit?
Hear the full breakdown of Survivor 47’s wildest moves, the impact of intergenerational gameplay, and the inside scoop from Nate Moore, only on RHAP!

Danielle DiLorenzo Talks Survivor 49 Ep 6
Danielle DiLorenzo Talks Survivor 49 Ep 6
It’s time to take a trip back to the Old School! All season long, Rob Cesternino is bringing legendary Survivor alumni onto the podcast to break down Survivor 49 through the eyes of those who played in the game’s early days.
This week, Rob and Danielle DiLorenzo sit down to talk about Survivor 49 episode 6.
Rob Cesternino interviews Danielle Neff DiLorenzo, a two-time Survivor player, about her experiences on the show and her life since competing. Danielle shares updates on her personal life, including raising two children and running a hot yoga studio. She explains how her passion for yoga developed after moving to Los Angeles following her appearances on Survivor. She details her plans to launch an online yoga channel for kids in collaboration with friends who produce children’s content.
The conversation shifts to Survivor gameplay, comparing her challenging experiences with old-school weather conditions to the current season’s focus on heat, and reflecting on personality clashes from her time in the game—especially the dynamics within the dysfunctional Kasiah tribe during Survivor Panama. Danielle offers insights into recent Survivor episodes, draws comparisons between current and past contestants, and discusses strategies around small tribe dynamics.
She also recounts her casting story, describing how Survivor producers scouted her during a Las Vegas bachelorette party. The discussion covers her relationships with other Survivor alumni, her advice to new contestants, her near-win in Panama, and how confronting emotional challenges from the show led her to seek out yoga and meditation for personal growth. Danielle teases the possibility of returning to Survivor in the future and shares ways for listeners to follow her journey online.

Why ___ Lost: Survivor 49 Ep 6
Why ___ Lost: Survivor 49 Ep 6
Jeff Probst said in Tribal Council, “There’s nothing wrong with playing Survivor hard as long as you’re playing well.” We saw Shannon playing hard. She thought she was doing it well, making her “authentic” connections. What was missing from her gameplay? And what did she do too much of? Survivor 44 runner-up Heidi Lagares-Greenblatt joins David Bloomberg and Jessica Lewis to answer these questions and look at all of Shannon’s game. At RHAP, we know Survivor, and we know Why Shannon Lost.

Maryanne Oketch Recaps Survivor 49 Ep 6
Welcome to the RHAP Survivor Post-Game Show! Coming to you the day after Survivor 49 episode, Rob Cesternino (@RobCesternino), two-time Survivor player, is joined each week by a special guest to recap everything that happened in the episode.
Rob Cesternino welcomes Survivor 42’s winner, Maryanne Oketch, on to dive into the strategic depths of Survivor 49 episode 6.
This episode of the podcast is brought to you by our friends at Manta Sleep. Summertime is officially here! The days are longer, the sun is brighter, and while all that extra daylight can feel energizing, it can quietly sabotage your sleep. Later sunsets disrupt your body’s natural circadian rhythm, making it harder to fall asleep, stay asleep, and wake up feeling refreshed.
Manta Sleep is here to help. Whether you’re blocking out daylight or tuning out the sounds of summer nights, taking control of your sleep environment helps you get deep, restorative rest, no matter how long the sun stays up.
