I don’t have anyone to watch with!!

If Season 46 ends how many think it will (or at least many people in here think)… who will be the better Survivor winner?

Kenzie or Erika?

I don't have a TV, and I really wanna watch the finale live and maybe meet people to actually watch Survivor. lol

What I meant was kenzie didn’t have a good enough resume to win, even with her jury management, if she goes to FTC with charlie. Charlie is super well liked by the jury, which is why jury management isn’t enough for someone to win. So unless Charlie gets voted out, I don’t see how Kenzie is winning

I will never look at Applebees the same again! 😂

Kenzie & Liz had a golden opportunity on a silver platter to eliminate Charlie, who they know they have a 0% chance of beating in FTC (they acknowledge that in this episode).

They must know something I don't, why else would they not use this opportunity while it's there? Do Kenzie & Liz really think Q has better odds at winning out than Charlie? Why was this more beneficial to their games? Or do they just hate him being around at camp that much.

Q mentioned that Kenzie doesn't realize how close she was. Was she really that close? We could have a different finale otherwise.

The latest episode - the way the story was told, the competition between participants, the dilemma of betrayal, and the act of lying to other's faces then being in confessionals admitting what they are thinking - it was just masterfully put together and told the story so well, you really understood the moral dilemmas and how players grasp between playing the game and hurting newly-found close comrades.

I think her game is overrated. I get people like her but she hasn’t done anything

I asked AI who said the word “resume” first on the TV show, and this was the response:

“The first person to use the word "resume" on the TV show Survivor was Dawn Meehan in Survivor: Caramoan, which aired in 2013. She famously stated, "I'm gonna make a resume of what I've done in this game, and it's gonna be a strong one."”

Can anyone confirm or deny this?

Where do you think this pic came from? They’re so similar.

As the finale is approaching in 3 days, we can mostly agree this season was awesome. It was a funny as hell season that had so many ridiculous moments and really fun characters. Every vote from the final 10-6 was pure entertainment. While at points the gameplay was laughably terrible, I think that only made the whole season more entertaining. I mean, how hilarious is it that 4 people in a row got sent out with idols in their pocket?

I think too a lot of the things people didn't like during the live airing will be viewed more positively as time goes on. A ton of people understandably weren't high on Bhanu, but I think knowing how his story plays out and being able to binge it will make people appreciate it more, rather than having to slog through it for weeks on end. I do recommend going back and watching it again if you didn't like it because it's really funny and surprisingly touching near the end. I think it will also be better to watch people like Venus and Soda in hindsight when you don't have to deal with the social media shitstorm in real time.

Point is, I'm really happy with how this season turned out. From the final 10 onwards I think it's one of the most dynamic and fun casts we've seen in the new era, and while I'm not sure how it'll stack up compared to pre-new era seasons, I think it's still very very strong.

I’ve auditioned once before last year and I’m gearing up to make a new video over the next couple weeks! I felt like my video was solid last year but I guess not haha

So I made this poll where you can sort every survivor season from best to worst and wanted to see how this will play out.

This is sort of a test because later I want to do the same but where people will rank/vote out each cast member from every season of Survivor. I wanted to know if you think I should make a ranking like this one, or if I should make it so that you vote off your least favorite player each day. (Similar to YouTuber survivorobsession) Please tell me in the comments :)

Anyways, rank the seasons HERE: https://strawpoll.com/w4nWrJKelyA

Results will come two days after I post this. After the S46 finale, I will start making the post where you will rank/vote out your least favorite players.

Thanks for participating :)

We have 4 people now on the jury who have gone home with an idol in their pocket. So if whoever is the target at F5 manages to find and play the idol correctly? That could be seen as a much bigger move than it would be in other seasons. Imagine Maria wins immunity and for whatever reason they choose to go after Charlie, but he uses it? Then that could break this idea of him being Maria's puppet. It could also be seen as Ben or Kenzies big move. I am unsure if it could help Liz out much since I do think at this point she probably has lost any chance at earning votes from the jury, but it would at least garner the idea of her being aware of her place in the game and doing something about it.

Short and sweet. Hard hitting analysis from least to most egregious (I probably would’ve gotten blindsided too)

5. Gem - Her first tribal so hard to know where people truly stand. Low key antagonized Ben and Tim? Worth the gamble not playing

6. Q - Voting Charlie was the logical move. Not his fault Liz and Kenzie were stone cold lying to Maria. Put his trust in his #1 ally, sucks she read it wrong

7. Venus - Close but no cigar just couldn’t keep a lid on it. Probably would’ve survived if she came clean to Charlie but YOLO

8. Tiff - She got away with it the first time, but big mistake trying to pull the same trick twice

9. Hunter - I feel bad but if you have to ask everyone at tribal how they’re voting you gotta play it

All the votes were shown!

Maybe I haven’t been on Reddit enough, but I thought last week was pretty unique in having every vote shown prior to votes were read. When’s the last time this happened?

One reason I believe they might have done this, is that there is a small small chance, that just maybe, Q gave Maria his idol.

Jeff made it abundantly clear at the beginning of the game:

One of you, there is absolutely no winning combination for you in that final tribal council. Your personality will not mesh with this cast (paraphrase)

It almost felt like Venus was getting this edit… or Q. Now with both of them out I’m curious to see if it’s Bourbon Street Liz, Blundered Maria, Puppy Dog Charlie, Mr Rock himself, or even the most socially livable Kenzie?

I really am curious what kinds of stereotypes was casting looking for and if they expected the results

-Q for instance seems to be the typical college athletic success, but I wonder how much of his ego came off in interviews or if he seemed like a genuine team player at the time

-Bhanu probably seemed genuine and sweet before he got placed on the island and melted

-I doubt Maria came across as quite so ruthless in her strategy. She likely fulfilled the sweet "older" woman archetype that they tend to fill

I wonder if casting knew they were setting up a chaotic season

It was actually very useful.

I mean, sure, I looked a little odd walking around with the Q skirt, but when I ran out of space in my backpack for my groceries, I decided to put the one leftover item (a box of pasta) in the Q skirt hood and it actually held it very well.

Granted, I took it out immediately after. A little too embarrassing to carry it home like that.

9.5/10

The live reunion shows post HVV were generally not good. Only a few good live reunion shows post HVV were good. If this season had a live reunion, this would have probably been the best live reunion since like Philippines/Cagayan.

I am convinced that the idols are cursed. Hunter and Tiff went out with idols in their pockets, and whoever found said idols has now gone home (Venus, Q). Lesson: In survivor 46, don't pick up the god damn idol.

If you were in Kenzie and Liz's shoes and both Charlie and Maria both lost immunity, who do you think would be the smarter person to vote out. Considering threat to win the million, jury management and the fire making challenge. Also, didn't add Ben, because while he does rock, none of that rocking is in strategy in any way.

Jared Fields was originally cast for David vs Goliath. Davie was organally cast for Edge of Exctition. 48 hours prior to filming of DvsG Alec was moved to the Goliath tribe and David was added to the David Tribe.

Who from Edge of Extinction most likely replaced Davie?

While Maria has isolated herself from everyone else, I think Charlie is gone next. I think Maria’s gotten to the point where she’s certainly beatable at FTC(specifically for Kenzie). By now people have to realize Charlie has been in the entire time, and he’ll definitely beat everyone if he makes it to FTC. It seems similar to Jesse in 43.
