Yeah I’m a little concerned that the presentation of Survivor is misaligned to the actual activities of the game. Nowadays Jeff is so determined for everyone to have an emotional journey, it stands to reason that people are going to overtherapize their way out of the game the way Sean did.

His exit was overwhelmingly disappointing.

he couldn't even go right home to his husband. They are sequestered for the run of game right? Quitting was wasted. Hanna quit because she couldn't stand it there. Leaving to be with your husband doesn't work as he couldn't go home

And to think that people hated Kelly and Naonka at the time for quitting. And they lasted longer than 26 days. Now you have people quitting after 9 LOL.

Rob and Jordan, thanks for your podcast. My feeling about Shaun’s quit: It’s really unfair for a contestant to ask the others at Tribal Council to “please vote me out”. That asks them to change the way they play THEIR game because of a decision YOU want to make and hang on THEIR involvement. If you want to quit the game, quit the game. The game will regroup and move forward. The producers will handle the logistics of that. But don’t make your quit a game move. It’s a selfish move. I understand that for Shaun, it occured to him in the moment and verbally spilled out. I get that he claims this is his truth. But my feeling is that he is too thoughtful and well-spoken for me to believe that he just decided in that very moment to verbalize those feelings and put everybody on the spot- players, producers, Jeff. 💯 strategic/orchestrated. Not cool. That’s my take. Thanks for your coverage. RHAP 4Eva

It seems survivor has focused too heavily on casting people that their primary focus isnt on actually winning the game but for other reasons that arent directly related to the game. Casting needs to make sure players primary focus should be to win the game and not some interpersonal reason

Two slaps in the face in one season …

Lame, so sick of these super fans that view the game as an opportunity to learn about themselves or have some spiritual journey. Cast people that want to win a million dollars, not these dorks

I thought it was an act. The ultimate deception for Sifu, make it all but a given that Sean was being voted out, and then blindside Sifu. Even Julie before tribal was saying "Whatever we say in tribal, ignore it, we are voting Sifu". I could not believe he genuinely wanted to go home.

I have no sympathy or respect for quitters. It's 26 days, not 6 months! And there are many people who wanted and dreamed of being in the show. If my husband said that he had given up on staying 17 days on an island to try to win one million because he wanted to come home to spend more time with me.. I'd be pissed.

People forget that fans Vs favourites had multiple 'quitters', albeit for very different reasons. There's still hope as this season has been very fun in spite of the disappointing decisions

Rob: What's your favorite scary movie? Sean: Rob, that is such a good question!!!

It would have been awesome if you had the presence of mind, or flexibility like you said, to make that switch in the moment and go on playing. I think it would have been a great journey to see in the season. But it's ok. I know you have the support you need inside and around you in life to process this experience and all the different oppinions on the internet. Sending out love!

Survivor messed up and should have done a better job of vetting candidates who really want to play vs finding people with a story!! I wouldn’t be surprised if someone else quits. Set a bad precedent this season. Sean and Hanna took two spots of someone who could have played the game to win.

personally i’m over this “everyone needs a story and flashback moment”. okay we get it, everyone has a story. most aren’t really inspiring. idk about most people but i don’t watch Survivor to see who has the best story to make me cry. i wanna see gameplay, strategy, etc. i’m not viewing these people as gamebots. but if you want to inspire people go be an influencer or a motivational speaker. don’t waste a spot for someone who wants to actually play and win Survivor. to think we could’ve cut Hannah and Sean and gotten two more Emily esque players…

Okay stop with the elaborate explanations.. you just didn’t wanna be there because you were put in a bad spot and had to fight harder to stay in the game

Who keeps casting these quitters?

Survivor needs to put a new rule to have every contestant agree not to quit during the game unless it was due to medical reasons. This will bring more serious players on the show.

bro what is he even talking about? You're here to play a game for a million dollars

05:46 🤣🤣🤣

Expanded episode are golden so far.

Wait why does rob say exit from the game even Jeff says he quit say quit not exit

3 out of 4 people in 1 tribe quit or asked to be voted out? This must be a record. I hope CBS / Survivor fires the casting director for this. The new era casting is already lackluster but 3 quits in the first 4 tribals? …. Please get Lynn Spilmann back. She gave us all the greats.

Funny that at the end of the episode he said was knew he could win. Not a chance when you’re this weak of a person.

Im frustrated because two great episodes were sandwiched between two quits. Casting screwed up this cast majorly. And Arguably have every season since 40

Quit number 2

It seems like he knows it is a low point in an overall great season. Looking at the glass half full; I'm glad he threw a vote D's way to fracture the ladies alliance.

The Sean is truly unique.I feel what was his point but still a bit weird.But either way I don't hate on him as I try to understand him.

This title should say 4th quit tbh

14:35 HE BETTER NOT EVER, we need Jordan forever!

I was so hurt because i was rooting for him

I hate quitters but was glad he quit, because Sifu didn't deserve to go and they would just be putting there tribe in a tremendous disadvantage with Sean and the 3 girls

If my husband tells me Im taking an extra day off to spend more time with you, I would encourage him to work instead. We always travel and spend time together. There is always time. If we both make more money, we will have more money to travel and will live more comfortable. Thats the way we both see it. I think he quitted for other reasons. 🤷🏾

Yeah, I could tell what he was doing. He knew he was gone, so he basically pulled a "You can't fire me, because I quit!" move to try and save face. Just made him look like a pathetic crybaby.

I don’t get Sean. His quit doesn’t make sense. Like the stuff he’s talking about is great for him but how it correlates to someone quitting is just out of nowhere. It kinda just feels like he was blindsided and swapped to a dire situation that he didn’t want to deal with.

Sean sounds eerily similar to Chapell

Regardless of his intentions, quitting the game during tribal like that took a spot that someone else could have had. That's how two other players that didn't want to be there and took spots from others. I literally don't care what your reasons are. You signed up for the show. You KNOW that you'll be away from your loved ones and civilization for a certain amount of time. No excuses there.

Also why is he getting any shine at all 🍅

Omg, I don’t think he knows how to ‘be real’ or just not know the answer to a question. Is he a sociopath? Something about him just doesn’t sit right. Like what he says SOUNDs fine but doesn’t add up.

It just seemed like a major cope from seans end. He knew he was going home so he wanted to try to control how he went home. Still pretty lame tho

What a tool. People would die to be on that show and he quits.

QUITTER !

I can’t pretend to understand Sean’s perspective so I say this with a grain of salt. His story of self realization seems completely unrelated to me to his desire to stay in the game…

After what a year there’s not a solid spin he came up w/for this? Unimpressed.

:)

nice script!

You took a spot that someone wanted to help suport there family during these times. Stop playing for your own selfish needs.

Jeff has gotten too soft when it comes fo dealing with quitters.

Honestly, I respect Hannah more for this reason. She got there and was immediately like "this is not for me" and at least to me it seemed like nothing would make this a good experience to her. Sean wanted a specific experience and when he didn't like what he got, he tapped out.

They should make it a rule that you cannot quit. Millions of people would do anything to be on this show. Getting on is like winning the lottery. It’s so disrespectful and distasteful to quit.

What a rehearsed answer. He was playing to “get back lost time” or “make up for his past”. What is he talking about? It’s just nonsense he’s come up with after the fact to make himself sympathetic when he’s just a quitter. Good riddance
