What Does 'La Cheeserie' Mean? Here's The Story Behind Rick Devens' Victory Cry on Survivor

Warning: Spoilers ahead for last night's episode of Survivor: Edge of Extinction.

What Does 'La Cheeserie' Mean?

Last night's episode of Survivor featured another stunning blindside, but the most interesting (and confusing) moment of the episode happened just after one of the castaways won immunity. In a challenge called "Star Man," contestants had to go through a series of obstacles and then solve a star puzzle. When host Jeff Probst declared Rick Devens the winner, Devens immediately-and loudly-shouted out "La Cheeserie!"

La Cheeserie means "the cheese shop" in French. La Cheeserie is also the catchphrase from "The Tony Kornheiser Show," a sports podcast talk show based out of Washington D.C. According to Reddit user J-rexreddit , there is a liquor store in D.C. called Calvert Woodley , and it also has a cheese counter inside it called La Cheeserie. Steve Sands ' family owns the store, and as the lead interviewer and announcer for the Golf Channel, Sands frequently appears on Kornheiser's show.

"So the inside joke is this tiny cheese counter in a liquor store in Washington is getting shouted out at golf tournaments worldwide," J-rexreddit explained.

D.C. residents and sports fans alike have been thanking Devens for the shoutout online.

So with the Caps loss, clearly this is the best thing that happened today. Way to go, @RickDevensWGXA ! And a #LaCheeserie to you, good sir. @ThisShowStinks @MKornheiser @MarcSterne @BraunFilm @CalvertWoodley pic.twitter.com/XbyLThQ6go - Bobby Gottfried (@BobbyGottfried) April 25, 2019

After last week's blindside of Kelley Wentworth , the Survivor castaways knew that the game had been shaken up. Wentworth was one of the biggest threats in the game, and after she was eliminated, no returning players were left in the main game. Wentworth was understandably emotional about her blindside, and she shed some tears on Extinction Island.

But Wentworth's tears soon turned to joy, as during tribal council her alliance got revenge for her elimination. Her former ally Wardog was voted out, and fans were veryyyy happy about it.
