from The Exclusive With Sharon Tharp Hosted by The Exclusive With Sharon Tharp

The latest player voted out of Survivor 50, Ozzy Lusth, joins The Exclusive for an emotional conversation about the “worst decision” of his Survivor career and the regret he feels after choosing not to play his idol. The Survivor legend breaks down the jury management strategy that backfired, explains why he believes Rizo made a game-ending mistake by turning on him, and reflects on the heartbreaking blindside that left him feeling “numb.” Ozzy also opens up about his complicated family story and the emotional scene involving his father, reveals how closely he worked with Cirie throughout the game, and shares why he was trying to align with Rick and Christian. Plus, Ozzy discusses why winning challenges mattered less to him this season and whether he would ever return to play Survivor again.
