This week, David Bloomberg & Jessica Lewis talk about the reasons why Ben Driebergen won in Survivor Heroes v Healers v Hustlers. It was a long road filled with everything from strategy to idols, but Ben ended up coming out the winner! We saw how he kept staying around, but what did he and the other finalists do to get to that point? What were their highs and their lows? And what was the jury thinking before the final Tribal Council? David and Jessica bring it all together as they examine what happened to Dr. Mike, Devon, Ryan, and Chrissy – and of course, Why Ben Won. To review the short version of David’s Rules, here is the quick version: Rule 1: Scheme and Plot Rule 2: But Don’t Scheme and Plot Too Much/Keep Your Scheming Secret/Don’t Backstab Until You Absolutely Need To Rule 3: Be Flexible! Rule 4: Don’t Let Your Emotions Control You Rule 5: Pretend To Be Nice/Play the Social Game (and Keep Your Politics and Controversial Beliefs To Yourself) Rule 6: Don’t Be Too Much of a Threat Rule 7: Know How to Deal with Idols and Advantages Appendix A: Make Your Votes Count – Keep in Mind Your End Goal Appendix B: The Jury Phase —— Join us again next week when we discuss the next player voted out of the game. —–

Episode 2 opens with our Roundtable discussing a mainstay of nearly every Top Chef season, the Mise en Place Relay.  In addition to breaking down the strategic decisions of each team, Mike, Curt and Haley discuss which of the Quickfire dishes most tempted their appetites.  Next, it’s a celebration of cheese as Haley professes her love of ricotta and Curt debates which state is truly the Dairy State.  The fate of the losing chef is discussed, both in how they fared at Judges’ Table…as well as in Last Chance Kitchen. And Mike shares his experience attending the Live Quickfire Challenge that Gail, Tom, Padma and Graham participated in on Facebook this past week.
