I think I’ve been looking at Cedrek McFaddencompletely wrong. SurvivorSeason 48 is finally at an early but well-deserved merge. McFadden’s decisions throughout this season of the reality competition show so far have been baffling and seem to be setting him up for failure, and yet there is another way to look at his game. While his moves still might get him voted out, McFadden ran the pre-merge portion of Season 48.
