Today’s Strands Breakdown

I’ll admit, I’m not very familiar with the reality TV show Survivor or the host, Jeff, who apparently says “Fire represents your life” as a catchphrase. From what I gathered, the words in the puzzle seem to be connected to Survivor or Jeff. I had to Google that phrase just to get a clue. Some of the words, like REDRAW, were tricky, especially since I kept typing DRAWER instead. The only word that wasn’t too challenging was CHALLENGE, which I got right away. Go figure!
