Survivor Winner Savannah Louie on Navigating Food Struggles After the Show & What Filming Is Really Like

About this episode

Savannah Louie discusses her experiences on Survivor and the impact on her relationship with food and body image.

Savannah Louie, the winner of Survivor 49 and season 50 competitor, joins Victoria to unpack what it really takes to make it through one of the most intense experiences on television. As fellow super fans, Victoria and Savannah dive into the reality of playing the game, from strategy and Tribal Council decisions to what it’s actually like having cameras on you 24/7 while filming. Savannah also opens up for the first time about something viewers rarely hear about: how the extreme conditions of the show affected her body image and relationship with food after the game. She shares her experience rebuilding trust with herself through intuitive eating and what that healing process looked like beyond Survivor. Tune in for a candid conversation about the psychology of the game, life after reality TV, and the personal challenges that come with one of the most intense shows on television!
