Instead, we did atwist, it’s the last twist of the season. We call it, ‘A peek into the future.
’ So now, we’re going to watch Rizo lose in a fire to Jonathan. ”with the person going home and then showing how they go home. And he did it the next day, and it was me! I made, two times playing, only one of four people ever that happened to.
And also the first finale flub ever in 50 seasons and the RizGod was a part of it. So that’s what happened. ” Velovic knew something was off the moment Probst called him out from the green room.
“So my understanding was they were under the assumption fire already happened,” he told the outlet. “But I was in the green room saying like, ‘Wait, I’m waiting for myself to lose here. What are we doing? ’ And Jeff’s like, ‘Bring out RizGod.
And they’re like, ‘You’re up! ’ And I’m like, ‘OK, I’m gonna work with what we got here.
'”He continued, “I’m playing off Jeff, and Jeff is talking about fire and I was like: Well, I’m not trying to reveal it. So I’m like, ‘Win or lose, I’m proud of how I played. ’ And Jeff’s like, ‘Sit your ass on the bench. ’ And I’m like, ‘Well, this is awkward.
'” Velovic shared that he and Probst “recovered well,” adding, “I made a little joke with Jeff live on stage. I thought it was fine. ”“The one thing I’ve learned is not to not question Jeff because he knows what he’s doing 99.999 percent of the time. I think we were all shocked.
We really didn’t know what was going on. I think it was just a human moment. It’s Survivor and it’s just the story of what we all do. We’re vulnerable in front of the world.
We make mistakes. And Jeff is no different. ”Jessica Simpson Defends Flying 1st Class With Her 3 Kids in Coach
