This week, David Bloomberg & Jessica Lewis talk about the reasons why Alec Merlino and Carl Boudreaux lost Survivor David vs Goliath.

Alec and Carl went out back-to-back but had very different playing styles. Alec tried to work with everyone while Carl was more attached to his specific allies. What did each of them do to lead to their own downfall? How could they have potentially avoided it? Was it just Alec being a challenge beast and Carl being the Godfather or was it more complicated?
