By Order of the Faithfuls: The Brains of the Operation w/ Shauhin Davari (Survivor)

About this episode

Shauhin Davari discusses his unique experience as the first Persian contestant on Survivor 48 and the psychological aspects of his gameplay.

Dolores is joined by Survivor 48 contestant, Shauhin Davari, to talk about his experience as the first Persian man to EVER play on the show! How did psychology play into Shauhin’s strategic game? Why did he have to be hyper aware of his emotions (and what does that have to do with his beard and eyebrows)?! Plus, he tells Dolores that there are players from his season that know more about him than his own family… How does that happen? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
