The puppet master’s strings were cut and his time on Survivor 50 has ended.
Indeed, White Lotus creator Mike White was sent home during the March 18 episode in a stunning turn of events that saw the season 37 runner-up’s closest ally Christian Hubicki turn against him.
“Honestly I was definitely blindsided cause you know I was friends with the majority of those people on that tribe, previous to coming on the inside,” the Emmy winner told Gayle King, Nate Burleson and Vladimir Duthiers on CBS Mornings March 19. “I thought I was in a good space. I actually don’t even know what happened. I was trying to figure out.”
He added, “I was very confused.”
Mike—who called himself the “Machiavellian puppet master on the show—found himself on the chopping block after he made the last-minute decision to vote off Emily Flippen after his team originally planned to send Angelina Keely home. Christian quickly got wind and went behind Mike’s back, and turned the Vatu tribe against him.
