The story

Rizo Velovic — 'RizGod' to the fanbase — was one of the breakout characters of the new era, a charismatic tech-sales guy from Yonkers whose huge personality and physical game made him an instant favorite across two straight seasons.

He came up one step short both times, finishing fourth in Survivor 49 and again in Survivor 50, twice losing the final-four fire-making challenge that stands between a strong player and the end. Few players have been beloved enough to earn that immediate invite back.
