‘Survivor’ Alum Explains Andy’s Breakdown In Season Premiere
Charlie Davis is the latest new host on the “Survivor On Fire” podcast. The Survivor 46 alum addressed the surprising season premiere and provided insight into Andy’s breakdown and why things played out the way they did. He opened up about why the game was so hard and what made Andy lose it. Keep reading to see what he had to say.
Andy Rueda Is An Example Of How Hard Survivor Can Be
Jeff Probst is the primary host of “Survivor On Fire,” but Charlie and executive producer Jay Wolff both provide commentary on the show as well. While Jay and Jeff are able to provide some insight into things from their long-standing positions on the show, Charlie can give a glimpse into what it’s like to play the game.
During the podcast’s first episode of Season 4, Charlie discussed what went down with Andy Rueda during the Season 47 premiere. Andy experienced immense paranoia and exhaustion. He had a panic attack and broke down completely after the first Immunity Challenge.
In the end, however, he wasn’t the one sent home. Andy was able to help flip the vote against Jon Lovett. Jon was astounded, especially after his entire tribe said they were voting Andy off.
As they discussed how things played out on the first episode of Season 47, Charlie acknowledged that Andy’s feelings were relatable.
Andy Won’t Likely Last Much Longer On The Show
“The first thing I want to say is if I had to show one clip to a Survivor fan and to explain to them, ‘this is why playing Survivor is so hard,’ it would be this clip of Andy,” Charlie said.
He continued, “He has this paranoia of being at the bottom. He’s having self-doubt from his past life experience that’s now resurfacing. He has heat exhaustion from competing in a brutal challenge that he had to do on an empty stomach, and all of that comes together and is leading to this blowup moment where he’s spilling all of his beans.”
The Survivor alum said that he felt bad for Andy Rueda when he saw how he was impacted by the challenge. Having that breakdown in front of all the cast members was difficult to watch. Not to mention, it is something they’ll think about in the future when it comes time to vote someone off.
“Your insight into a player’s life experiences outside of Survivor is so pertinent,” Jeff Probst added to the conversation. As Jeff previously revealed, he thought that Jon Lovett could potentially go all the way.
When all was said and done, Jeff believes the tribe voted the strongest player off. That said, there probably isn’t much of a future for Andy on the reality show either.
Survivor 47 airs on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. EST on CBS.
