Jake was taken out by a snake! While that’s not uncommon on Survivor, it’s usually a metaphor! Meanwhile Jeremiah was not in as good a spot as he thought he was, even before Jake was gone. How did each of them do in the lead-up to getting taken out? And what would likely have happened this week if Jake had stuck around? Survivor 43’s Lindsay Carmine once again joins David Bloomberg to talk through both players. At RHAP, we know Survivor, and we know Why Jeremiah and Jake Lost.

Manta Sleep is here to help. Whether you’re blocking out daylight or tuning out the sounds of summer nights, taking control of your sleep environment helps you get deep, restorative rest, no matter how long the sun stays up.
