Bloomberg first appeared on RHAP on February 20, 2015 to talk about "What Worlds Apart Survivors Definitely SHOULD Have Learned" shortly before the premiere of Survivor: Worlds Apart. He then had a guest stint on the voicemails section of the recap episode during Episode 11 of Worlds Apart.[1]
Starting in Survivor: Cambodia, Bloomberg began to appear weekly on a podcast called "Why _____ Lost". The podcast, a take on a column he previously wrote on "Reality News Online," uses his rules (see below) to analyze the game of the person most recently voted off.
In Chapter 6, Part 1 of The Evolution of Strategy, Rob Cesternino mentioned that he was a follower of Bloomberg's site prior to his appearance on Survivor: The Amazon.
