Mike White's Survivor Blindside: Friend Turned Foe

0:00Here's more entertainment and celebrity news for March 19th. Mike White, the 55-year-old creator of The White Lotus and an Emmy winner, got voted out early in Survivor's 50th season. He was a runner-up back in the show's 37th season, but his second chance ended with a blind side on the March 18th episode, when host, Jeff Props snuffed his torch. The twist came from Christian Hubecky, a friend from their first season together who even had a cameo in The White Lotus season 3. They had vacation and texted often outside the game, but Hubecky led the vote against him after just two days on the same beach. White told people he was totally shocked, calling it a classic blind side, and spotting a guilty Judas hug from Hubecky right away. He has not spoken to him since leaving the island, and feels it was a long con, especially since Hubecky kept big personal news secret for strategy. White admits his alliance with Angelina Keely probably painted a target on his back too. Looking back, he loved his original tribemates, like Coach, Jonathan, Charlie D, Tiffany, and

White heads to France soon to film The White Lotus season 4, and tees that some Survivor players from this cast will join in, though they do not. No yet, despite the rough early exit, full of deprivation and paperwork, he is glad he played again and proud to be part of the Survivor World. The Daily News Now is presented by our sponsor.
