How to SURVIVE Survivor! THIS Got Jonathan Young Through Reality TV’s Toughest Show

One of the most physically dominant players in Survivor history, Jonathan Young, joins producer Michelle DeBellis on Dibs On This! From carrying his tribe on his back during Survivor 42 to completely reinventing his game and fighting his way to second place on the monumental Survivor 50, Jonathan has become one of the most talked-about competitors of the modern Survivor era. Jonathan opens up about the discipline and faith that got him through reality TV's toughest game, what it really feels like to starve on an island, losing 30 pounds during Survivor 50, and the surprising reality TV experience that started it all when he was just 14 years old. He also reveals how Boston Rob helped him rebuild his social game, the secret strategy Jonathan used to convince his Survivor 50 castmates he was still "just the big strong guy," and what he wishes he could redo about Final Tribal Council. Plus, Jonathan gets candid about the fan criticism that hurt him most, how he truly feels about Aubry's win, and whether he'd play Survivor a third time! 00:00 - Meet Jonathan Young: Growing Up, Discipline & Faith 14:19 - The REAL Survivor: Starvation, Spearfishing & Losing 30 Pounds 19:30 - His First Reality Show at 14: Endurance 30:02 - From BP Oil Cleanup to College Swimmer & Entrepreneur 33:17 - Finally Getting Cast on Survivor 42 50:35 - Boston Rob's Advice & Training for a Second Chance 56:37 - Survivor 50: How Jonathan Secretly Changed His Game 1:05:00 - Final Tribal Council, Fan Backlash & Being Misunderstood 1:13:33 - Aubry's Win, Losing $2 Million & Jonathan's Survivor Legacy 1:18:51 - Rapid Fire, This or That & Calling Out Jake Paul!
