The drama between Rick Devens and Jenna Lewis-Dougherty is heating up ahead of the 'Survivor 50' live reunion. Devens, who was voted off during Wednesday's episode, is 'super psyched' for the reunion, but he's not looking forward to seeing Lewis-Dougherty. The two had a public falling out after Lewis-Dougherty claimed Devens and Christian Hubicki were bragging about getting a lot of airtime early in the season. However, Devens insists that his comments were taken out of context and that Lewis-Dougherty's claims are not true.
Devens, a news anchor, says that he and Hubicki were joking about getting airtime after losing the first challenge. He explains that it was a light-hearted comment, but Lewis-Dougherty took it seriously and used it as a basis for her criticisms. Devens is particularly annoyed by Lewis-Dougherty's behavior, as she initially had nice things to say about him at the premiere party. He feels that her sudden change in attitude and public name-calling are not in line with how he plays the game.
The tension between Devens and Lewis-Dougherty is expected to continue at the live reunion, with Devens warning that there will be 'drama'. While Devens is looking forward to the reunion, he is not interested in seeing Lewis-Dougherty, who he believes has been causing trouble throughout the season. The 'Survivor: Edge of Extinction' alum also clarifies that he only spoke to Aubry Bracco and Angelina Keeley before the season began, not Lewis-Dougherty or Hubicki.
Despite the animosity between Devens and Joe Hunter, the two have since made amends and are now friends. Devens hopes that the live reunion will provide an opportunity to move past the drama and focus on the game. With the finale and live reunion airing next Wednesday, the tension between Devens and Lewis-Dougherty is sure to be a major talking point among 'Survivor 50' fans.
