Ricard Foyé
The last one standing from doomed Ua, who outplayed every tribemate and then became too good to keep around.
Known for
Ricard came into Survivor 41 reading lips to his advantage and speaking up at the first Immunity Challenge, where he asked Jeff Probst to drop "guys" from his catchphrase, and Jeff agreed. Ua then lost nearly everything, and Ricard and Shan Smith became a two-person war room, blindsiding Brad Reese and JD Robinson. An extra vote briefly strained the partnership, but Shan stayed loyal, they took out Genie Chen together, and Ricard handed the advantage back before the merge.
The Hourglass twist stripped his early safety, so he simply won his way in. Inside Shan's supermajority he quietly built trust with Xander Hastings, Erika Casupanan and Heather Aldret, then joined the outsiders to blindside Shan herself. That made him the biggest target left, and he held it off, partly with immunity wins, until Erika beat him at the final five. Xander dangled his idol and kept it. Ricard owned his threat status on the way out and gave his jury vote to Erika.
