Jeff Probst speaks about why Russell Hantz never won Survivor

A new episode of the On Fire Podcast with Jeff Probst broached many topics this week.
Jeff discussed the fan request for a season with no challenges and later spoke about why there are fewer endurance challenges.
Co-host Jay Wolff and Survivor 47 winner Rachel Lamont were on hand for the podcast.
At one point, the chat shifted to what can impact whether or not a player wins Survivor, and that’s when Ruseel Hantz came up.
Russell first appeared on Survivor: Samoa and was invited back for Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains.
On Survivor: Samoa (Season 19), Russell was the runner-up to Natalie White after a 7-2 vote. He returned quickly for Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains (Season 20) and finished as the second runner-up to Sandra Diaz-Twine and Parvati Shallow.
Russell also returned for Survivor: Redemption Island (Season 22), finishing in 17th place that season. Boston Rob Mariano won, and Phillip Sheppard was the first runner-up.
