For that very reason, I'm playing it for Savannah. Survivor 49, E10

Two seasons filmed almost back-to-back. Two 25-day runs, two final fours, and two fire-making losses gave Rizo one of Survivor’s strangest repeat endings.

Alliances fans have named

Survivor never names an alliance on screen. These names, and who counts as a member, are how the fan community records the game rather than an official record of it.
