Transcript
- 0:03Speaker 1: Last week, Rick Devins etched himself into the reality TV
- 0:06Speaker 1: history books, becoming the first former Survivor contestant to go
- 0:09Speaker 1: on to win Big Brother, and he admitted to The
- 0:11Speaker 1: Hollywood Reporter his experience on Survivor definitely played into his
- 0:15Speaker 1: ability to finish on top.
- 0:16Speaker 2: Yeah, Rick says first and foremost, everything on Survivor moves
- 0:20Speaker 2: so much faster, which allowed him to plot and control
- 0:24Speaker 2: votes and other contestants pretty easily in comparison.
- 0:27Speaker 1: And he also played Big Brother loosely. He learned on
- 0:29Speaker 1: Survivor there's no shame in going home earlier and making
- 0:32Speaker 1: a dumb move that gets you voted out. It's happened...
- 0:34Speaker 1: to players way better than him, so you can't be afraid.
- 0:37Speaker 2: Yeah, so when he pitched a strategy to someone and
- 0:40Speaker 2: they weren't into it, rather than being worried that he's
- 0:42Speaker 2: made a mistake, he'd just lean into it and keep
- 0:45Speaker 2: trying to convince them that he was right.
- 0:47Speaker 1: Exactly. He found that he'd eventually sway them. In the end,
- 0:50Speaker 1: he won pretty easily with a final vote of 6-4
- 0:52Speaker 1: and 1 against.
- 0:53Speaker 2: Yeah, so he clearly didn't really upset the other players
- 0:56Speaker 2: with his strategies.
- 0:57Speaker 1: And the fans agreed he won the title America's Favorite
- 0:59Speaker 1: Houseguest in online voting as well, so congratulations, Rick. Well
- 1:03Speaker 1: played and a well-deserved Big Brother win. That's direct from Hollywood.
