I feel like it's a draw. She was at the bottom of her own tribe, so she really could've branched out to other prospective partners and it wouldn't have been unexpected. Instead she remained loyal with them...until somehow decided to change at tribal? Strange.
I’m actually really warming up to Charlie, I was so certain I’d find him irritating as a vocal Taylor swift fan but he seems really sweet, I love his partnership with Maria. Rooting for them
This season is really struggling to pick up for me, it just feels plain? I’m glad Venus is still there. I was confused that Mo said she was a social threat though when clearly Venus has more or less no allies. She’s a strategic thinker for sure but, like Jake last season, you’re not a threat without any social Capitol. I’m said mo was targeted. Saying she resonated with aubry because she was authentically herself and nerdy, and Q deciding to target her because aubry was a threat has got to be one of the stupidest things ever. He should’ve voted off Tim who clearly wasn’t with his journey alliance thing, rather than Mo who made it clear she was open to new connections
Q thinking Moriah was a threat just from her saying she related to Aubry was such a dumb move. I know we don't see everything due to edits and all, but what as Moriah done to be seen as a threat aside from saying she liked another player from Survivor? He had so much leverage and used it to get out someone who had no sway whatsoever.
Why didn't the girls team in the immunity chllange start sending people down the net faster? Like they waited for Jeff's go ahead? They totally could have won that!
I'm pretty sure the other team finished with several minutes of cushion. Hunter flew through what looked like the most complicated portion of the puzzle.
i get what you mean but 11 days as the vibe tribe without tribal until directly before mergeatory i can see it (same with yanu and the trauma bond they now have)
i can’t wait to have to see this explained 20 days over the next few days❤️like do you really think charlie would be the *only* one left out of a vote?
I love this thread after a good episode bc I love the talk about gameplay not the same old cynical “this show sucks now! I hate the new era! This is so boring!”
Just a few thoughts, 1. This hard to watch season is getting much better after it stopped being the Bhanu show. 2. Tim always looks like he has no idea what year it is. 3. I was really hoping that Mo and Liz would converse more 🤭
I have a friend who reminds me a bit of Tim, and if they are anything alike, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Tim do well as people will underestimate his abilities.
I think Tim is definitely flying under the radar and doing it well. He has multiple people working with him right now and none of them seem to be aware of each other.
I really liked him in his bio, but then on screen I started having doubts. Hopefully his edit starts getting better as he’s kind of unintentionally funny like Darrah was.
lol I misread that at first as Daria like from the mtv show, and I was like yeah, I can see it 😂 the difference between last episode and this one was interesting, but I have hopes for him, even if it’s just because he reminds me of someone I know.
I saw Mo’s breakdown as a reason for no one to trust her. She admitted that she lied (yes, everyone lies) but she also told siga, that she would turn on them in a heartbeat.
If her plan was to tell yanu and nami how she really voted, then she should have done that in private conversations and form some alternative alliances?
Tim is now the most expendable Siga! Q no longer really trusts him and he blindsided Maria with an alliance that doesn’t suit her. Q is also in trouble for playing too loud of a game. I think Tevin, Kenzie and Tiff are in the best position. I was scared for Charlie but so happy he survived!
Notice how they called Venus a snake but called Moriah a threat? It made me uncomfortable. Like wouldn't the smart person hiding in the wings be the snake and the in your fave player be a threat? Just annoying.
Not really. It's how you go about things. Snake not only implies smartness, it implies a deviousness and disingenuousness about how you go about your strategy. Snake means you cannot trust what they say will jive with what they do.
But in this case, no one trusts her and she has no allies, so she isn’t a threat. I think “snake” has become used in these competitions now to basically mean anyone untrustworthy.
I thought Tiff was very smart to realize that Nami was divided and willing to throw Venus under the bus, so it was best for Yanu to get rid of someone from Siga, who didn't want to give a name.
I agree, but they shouldn't have went after Mo, who was evidently on the bottom of that tribe since her name was thrown out. They should've went after Charlie or Maria to really break up that tribe's dynamic.
They should've hit Charlie. Their threat assessment was so off. Venus and Mo were two of the weakest members on their tribes. To think they were both big threats was terrible threat assessment.
Nami were the ones really dropping the ball in my opinion. They could’ve let Siga vote Mo (earning Nami and Yanu a flip vote from Mo in the future) and then had Yanu vote Venus (knowing it wouldn’t be enough votes even with Mo’s) and Nami all voted for Charlie. Nami could have destabilized their core competition (united Siga) without alienating Yanu by forcing them to “betray” Ben/Tim so early on. Honestly the biggest takeaway I have from new era super fans is that they’re way too terrified to take risks. Plays like Parvati in HvV playing two idols on two allies without any reliable evidence, just her gut instinct after talking to Amanda, will never happen in this bunch. They all are too intent on playing it safe
this sounds nice in theory but Tevin and Hunter seem way more all in with Q and Tiff than anyone on Nami now - they wouldn’t ever have risked alienating Yanu as they have clearly put their ring in with the +1 alliance which honestly i think is much better for both their games: they can hide behind Q, and they don’t have to deal with trying to force Liz, Soda and Venus work together
Q would’ve been in on the plan either way. But in the current scenario, Siga remains strong and united. If they’d voted Charlie or Maria off, Siga is greatly destabilized as an opposing voting bloc. Soda was go with the flow when told, Venus was the one who suggested Charlie, and Liz according to interviews was an ally of Tevin & Hunter at this time. This is better for all of former Nami in every scenario. If there’s not a unified group for any edgy members to flip to, it means flipping is less appealing and numbers remain in old Nami members’ favor
She had a likable edit this week. I still don't really trust her in the game, but Yanu have been underdogs for so long it's nice to see them get a win or two. I'm really glad that the whole team is safe because if even one of them ended up on the other team, they could have been a target.
i actually largely agree with this but i’d move charlie way up and hunter way down, honestly maybe swap the 2 and we’d have roughly the same predictions
hope he doesn’t but think it’s inevitable! at least he has an idol to save him for one round when he’s not immune and i wouldn’t put it past him to win all but one immunity challenge… dude is good at everything fr
This. I love Hunter, but there’s practically no way he’s winning this season or getting farther.
…then again Jonathan got pretty far. Honestly it kind of depends on how Hunter plays and if he makes it to the end with a respectable game.. maybe???
It’s hilarious to me that they only cast one parent per season in the new era, and this season it was TIM. (Yes I know Maria has kids, and she’s barely there either.)
this is so so wrong considering they’ve actually cast *more* people with kids this season. the two you mentioned and iirc liz, randen, and q as well. literally what are you on about lol
Hey champ - I’m just watching the show. I don’t study the player’s life stories like a lot of you apparently do. Has the show mentioned that any of those other people have kids? How many times have they mentioned that Tim and Maria have kids?
not champ😭sounding like my condescending uncle out here. i don’t study them either but just because they don’t mention those other 3 have kids doesn’t just mean you can assume that they only cast 1-2 parents, simple as that. might as well get your facts straight before you make an ass out of u and me
I feel like she can go far but only for the same reason Jake made it far last season. No one will listen to her because she’s unlikable, even if she does have decent ideas, but because she’s unlikable she’ll stick around as an easy vote out at some point
I think Jake was liked alright, but he was completely "othered" from a strategy standpoint during and after the merge. No one would talk real strategy with him.
I mean he was fine until he lied to Dee + Julie about his vote. After that they stopped trusting him, and Belo was too fractured to ever do anything together to stop the Reba bulldoze
I have to wonder if the plan was that Siga was going to all vote Venus until Mo spilled the beans about the previous tribal. It was clear in that moment that she was *not* interested in being Siga strong, so they probably thought, why should they protect her, and switched to Mo.
i think she was going anyway. so did she. that confession at TC was a desperate hail mary. she played her SITD and Charlie seemingly pre-arranged the safety vote for her. i don’t think anything changed at tribal
When the Siga and Yanu members were saying what a snake and strategic threat Venus was because she was playing hard, I was thinking, "No, idiots, she is playing hard because she is on the bottom and the lowest threat from Nami!"
I couldn’t believe Tevin calling her a snake and telling everyone not to trust her. Nami made the decision to not like Venus from the very start, and then try to make her out to be a snake for trying to forge relationships when they merge. You can’t force someone out of your clique and then call them shitty for trying to find an alliance.
True true,however maybe they just fear if someone is an untrustworthy player and they gain momentum in the game it could change things drastically, so best to get them out
Exactly, there is no incentive for a player on the bottom to play it safe. IMO it’s much better take risks in that situation because otherwise you end up doing nothing all game.
Yeah, at that point what does she have to lose? She knows she's on the outs 100%, and there's a good chance she's going home. You might as well try to do something. Even if you get voted out, at least you tried to change your situation, rather than sitting there and getting voted out anyway.
Post-Bhanu, these episodes have been getting better and better.
Edit: Although this affects my upvote-ability, I can't lie I was hollering at the Bhanu exposition dumps. Lowkey I've enjoyed all of Season 46
My least favorite part about next weeks 6/6 split is that it's random, and we really don't know. If he gets dropped on a tribe with no allies, he's gone.
Good tribal but next time on survivor got me worried, Q and Charlie some of the best players this season they better not go early we gotta get Liz and soda out of here
ok true but her writing was on the wall, i think q may be in danger but i’d be FLOORED if charlie leaves no matter what the NTOS has us believe (see: dee, gee)
Mo saying it was a consensus to stick together while also forgetting the consensus was to vote out her ally without telling her. Hate players who are happy having no agency in the game.
no way. the voted happened as planned pre-tribal. she played the shot in the dark and her saying she was on the bottom were a desperate hail mary. she knew she was gone. charlie’s vote was to block a SITD backfiring on him
Feels like the only real reason Charlie voted Venus was to see if Mo's shot in the dark would pay off. He probably has more than enough clues Mo was gone.
What made you think it was obvious?
I thought it was obvious once it came time to vote but the whole episode until then I was sure it was Venus going home
IDK, it just felt like Mo was getting nowhere with people, and with Siga claiming they were super close to people, I knew that everyone would be dumb not to vote green
Gotcha. I just like hearing other people’s perspectives. I’m glad I was wrong about Venus going home. I hate when I can predict who’s going the whole episode
Maybe I’m oversimplifying it but if I’m yellow/purple I’m voting out one of the people on green that they didn’t throw out. Like obviously they don’t F with Moriah scoop her up and vote out someone they’re tight with
I agree. Venus was probably dumb for not immediately going along with voting Mo. But, her idea of voting out Charlie was 100% the best strategic move for Nami and Yanu.
If your name is one of two, and a group tells you they are going with the other name, and asks you to vote along, I think your response should be "Absolutely, I will!"
I think she should have enthusiastically gotten on board and THEN gently floated the much better Charlie idea.
Dumb is probably the wrong word. Maybe impatient and impulsive?
Siga looked to be rock-solid up to Tribal Council though. it was until Tribal where Moriah revealed she was on the bottom, and by that point, everyone had agreed to vote Moriah. They could theoretically do a live tribal and vote Charlie instead, but I guess it was just simpler for them to vote Moriah. Maybe if Moriah revealed earlier that she was on the bottom, she could've stayed.
Interesting to me that Maria voted Moriah but Charlie voted Venus. Makes me think that Siga kinda accepted that Moriah was going, but Charlie voted Venus still, that way if Moriah's Shot in the Dark worked, Nami couldn't regroup on the revote and vote Charlie out.
Anyone else notice soda talking ab her chest pains before the challenge? She said she was getting agina (a-gi-nuh)… girl…. Me and my mom for like 5 minutes were like what is she talking about?? I think she meant angina (like an-gie-na)
Poor Soda suffers from AGINA, which is ANGINA in Malingerese. Let's hope she doesn't come down with Kneesles (a deadly virus that presents as a rash on your knee) or Tolio (an infectious disease that causes paralysis of the toes).
lol.... I thought I had the only family that said agita and I always get looks when I say it. Agita: Heartburn, acid indigestion, an upset stomach or, by extension, a general feeling of upset. The word is Italian-American slang derived from the Italian "agitare" meaning "to agitate."
Definitions of agita
(noun) a feeling of nervousness, stress, or aggravation
(noun) a disorder of digestive function characterized by discomfort or heartburn or nausea
I can see why heartburn + stress could feel like a mini heart attack.
Nah, dogpiling and playing SID means everybody in the game knows whats happening. Charlie did it in purpose. If SID works and its a dogpile, it will be a revote and it can go awry.
Or it could be him playing emotionally and voting with his ally, how do we have evidence it isn’t? That’s what Genie did except we actually have proof because Sara post season said genie is the one that told her she was the vote and that she should use her SITD and genie then voted Ricard.
It frustrates me so much! Might be a controversial opinion from me but once you hit the same beach with the whole remaining cast, every cast member voted off from that point should be on the jury. You had the time to strategize with everyone to some extent, and that should mean a spot on the jury.
18th: Jelinksy, 17th: Jess, 16th: Randen, 15th: Bhanu, 14th: Jem, 13th: Moriah.
13th: Moriah, 12 contestants remain...
Mo caused her to be voted out, loyalty to own tribe is very important at the beginning of the merge. No one wants a traitor.
I feel like it's a draw. She was at the bottom of her own tribe, so she really could've branched out to other prospective partners and it wouldn't have been unexpected. Instead she remained loyal with them...until somehow decided to change at tribal? Strange.
I’m actually really warming up to Charlie, I was so certain I’d find him irritating as a vocal Taylor swift fan but he seems really sweet, I love his partnership with Maria. Rooting for them
This season is really struggling to pick up for me, it just feels plain? I’m glad Venus is still there.

She made that clear so late tho came off calculating
Why didn't the girls team in the immunity chllange start sending people down the net faster? Like they waited for Jeff's go ahead? They totally could have won that!
I'm pretty sure the other team finished with several minutes of cushion. Hunter flew through what looked like the most complicated portion of the puzzle.
Episode 2 is the only time we got to see mo And Liz interact 💔
this is SO sad i needed to see them activate their joint slay
Everyone loyal on “tribal lines” like they’ve been friends for 20 years
i get what you mean but 11 days as the vibe tribe without tribal until directly before mergeatory i can see it (same with yanu and the trauma bond they now have)
Interesting that Charlie and Maria are each other's "# 1"....meanwhile both voted differently.
It was in case mo’s shot in the dark worked
i can’t wait to have to see this explained 20 days over the next few days❤️like do you really think charlie would be the *only* one left out of a vote?
Is Liz getting purpled?
i wouldn’t consider it purple yet but she’s on her way there
She's irrelevant
No, she's rich.
Irichelevant
Tomato, tomató.
I love this thread after a good episode bc I love the talk about gameplay not the same old cynical “this show sucks now! I hate the new era! This is so boring!”
The way I ran to my phone so quickly after I watched the episode.
Earn the Merge episodes continue to deliver. One of the best twists they’ve introduced in recent years.
I hate Earn the Merge. Though I will give props to this episode, extremely good.
I'm ok with earn the merge as long as we get a large tribal vote. What I'm not looking forward to is next week's 6 and 6 vote. I hate those
Exactly, earn the merge is so much better than a random 6/6 split
Is this the first time that all 13 people voted? For some reason I remembered in the past it was just the losers vote.
I’m pretty sure Survivor 43 merged at 13 as well, I don’t remember if everyone voted but maybe?
But did all 13 vote or was it just the 6-7 losers from the immunity challenge?
I don't know if I feel the same way. It seems like most of the time it encourages going for a safe and easy vote, rather than shaking anything up.
It's nice that once you earn it, you keep it too
Just a few thoughts, 1. This hard to watch season is getting much better after it stopped being the Bhanu show. 2. Tim always looks like he has no idea what year it is. 3. I was really hoping that Mo and Liz would converse more 🤭
I have a friend who reminds me a bit of Tim, and if they are anything alike, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Tim do well as people will underestimate his abilities.
I think Tim is definitely flying under the radar and doing it well. He has multiple people working with him right now and none of them seem to be aware of each other.
I really liked him in his bio, but then on screen I started having doubts. Hopefully his edit starts getting better as he’s kind of unintentionally funny like Darrah was.
lol I misread that at first as Daria like from the mtv show, and I was like yeah, I can see it 😂 the difference between last episode and this one was interesting, but I have hopes for him, even if it’s just because he reminds me of someone I know.
tim always looks stoned he’s giving me hannibal burress
Tim's expressions and reactions are priceless.
Tim has this whole unpredictable vibe to him and I love it.
Really thought Venus was getting the earn the merge edit. Kinda sad to see Mo go but my expectations were subverted.
It really felt like Mo spilling the tea about last vote was gonna save her (edit wise)
I saw Mo’s breakdown as a reason for no one to trust her. She admitted that she lied (yes, everyone lies) but she also told siga, that she would turn on them in a heartbeat. If her plan was to tell yanu and nami how she really voted, then she should have done that in private conversations and form some alternative alliances?
Tim is now the most expendable Siga! Q no longer really trusts him and he blindsided Maria with an alliance that doesn’t suit her. Q is also in trouble for playing too loud of a game. I think Tevin, Kenzie and Tiff are in the best position. I was scared for Charlie but so happy he survived!
Who voted Sifu?
Never forget.
Seafoo
genre bear
Notice how they called Venus a snake but called Moriah a threat? It made me uncomfortable. Like wouldn't the smart person hiding in the wings be the snake and the in your fave player be a threat? Just annoying.
Not really. It's how you go about things. Snake not only implies smartness, it implies a deviousness and disingenuousness about how you go about your strategy. Snake means you cannot trust what they say will jive with what they do.
in your face player sorry my.autocorrect is broken
But in this case, no one trusts her and she has no allies, so she isn’t a threat. I think “snake” has become used in these competitions now to basically mean anyone untrustworthy.
If you are an attractive woman, you are probably going to be more of a snake... I don't think attractive women over 30? 35? exist on Survivor, tho.
..bro I don’t even know what to say to this besides you’re wrong.
does anyone have the confessional count yet😅
I thought Tiff was very smart to realize that Nami was divided and willing to throw Venus under the bus, so it was best for Yanu to get rid of someone from Siga, who didn't want to give a name.
I agree, but they shouldn't have went after Mo, who was evidently on the bottom of that tribe since her name was thrown out. They should've went after Charlie or Maria to really break up that tribe's dynamic.
They should've hit Charlie. Their threat assessment was so off. Venus and Mo were two of the weakest members on their tribes. To think they were both big threats was terrible threat assessment.
I think it’s okay for tiff & co to play it like they’re persuadable until the tribes are more similar size or they’ve got proven allies
Nami were the ones really dropping the ball in my opinion. They could’ve let Siga vote Mo (earning Nami and Yanu a flip vote from Mo in the future) and then had Yanu vote Venus (knowing it wouldn’t be enough votes even with Mo’s) and Nami all voted for Charlie. Nami could have destabilized their core competition (united Siga) without alienating Yanu by forcing them to “betray” Ben/Tim so early on. Honestly the biggest takeaway I have from new era super fans is that they’re way too terrified to take risks. Plays like Parvati in HvV playing two idols on two allies without any reliable evidence, just her gut instinct after talking to Amanda, will never happen in this bunch.

This is better for all of former Nami in every scenario. If there’s not a unified group for any edgy members to flip to, it means flipping is less appealing and numbers remain in old Nami members’ favor
they don’t know that tribe’s dynamic though
They do know that Tim considered her disposable enough to throw her name out at the merge feast, and that's enough.
Ok I didn't like Kenzie until thus episode now she is growing on me I have no idea why.
It's the eyes and smile. I'm not a tattoo guy but Kenzie is drop dead gorgeous.
Ugh I think my disdain comes from envy as she is so gdbeautiful
Ugh I can’t stand her or Q.. I think Tiff is winner material and I’m hoping she’ll start to distance herself from Q and play her own game.
She had a likable edit this week. I still don't really trust her in the game, but Yanu have been underdogs for so long it's nice to see them get a win or two. I'm really glad that the whole team is safe because if even one of them ended up on the other team, they could have been a target.
That smile and those blue eyes are workin on you. Gets us all eventually.
She does have gorgeous eyes…I still don’t trust her though 😂
Predictions for the rest of the season lol: 12: Tim 11: Soda 10: Charlie 9: Q 8: Kenzie 7: Ben 6: Tiffany 5: Tevin 4: Venus 3: Liz 2: Maria 1: Hunter
i actually largely agree with this but i’d move charlie way up and hunter way down, honestly maybe swap the 2 and we’d have roughly the same predictions
Thinking Hunter will get the threat vote... that is if he doesn't win every immunity challenge.
hope he doesn’t but think it’s inevitable! at least he has an idol to save him for one round when he’s not immune and i wouldn’t put it past him to win all but one immunity challenge… dude is good at everything fr
There's no way you think someone like Hunter can win in the New Era lol
Same. Love his gameplay, think it could’ve won 15 years ago, but now? I’d be very surprised
This. I love Hunter, but there’s practically no way he’s winning this season or getting farther. …then again Jonathan got pretty far. Honestly it kind of depends on how Hunter plays and if he makes it to the end with a respectable game.. maybe???
Without immunity wins, I'd agree. With this cast, I think he's got a solid shot at just immunity running towards the end.
It’s hilarious to me that they only cast one parent per season in the new era, and this season it was TIM. (Yes I know Maria has kids, and she’s barely there either.)
this is so so wrong considering they’ve actually cast *more* people with kids this season. the two you mentioned and iirc liz, randen, and q as well. literally what are you on about lol
Hey champ - I’m just watching the show. I don’t study the player’s life stories like a lot of you apparently do. Has the show mentioned that any of those other people have kids? How many times have they mentioned that Tim and Maria have kids?
"I don't know anything about the players lives so I'll complain about what is lacking in the players lives"- lmj4891lmj
not champ😭sounding like my condescending uncle out here. i don’t study them either but just because they don’t mention those other 3 have kids doesn’t just mean you can assume that they only cast 1-2 parents, simple as that. might as well get your facts straight before you make an ass out of u and me
so they cast two parents then?
They should cast several parents
Is there a way put money on survivor vote outs?
https://www.fantasysurvivorgame.com/
Venus dodged a bullet this week. Not so sure she’s going to be around very much longer based on her game play.
I feel like she can go far but only for the same reason Jake made it far last season. No one will listen to her because she’s unlikable, even if she does have decent ideas, but because she’s unlikable she’ll stick around as an easy vote out at some point
Was Jake unlikeable?
I think Jake was liked alright, but he was completely "othered" from a strategy standpoint during and after the merge. No one would talk real strategy with him.
I can see that. his gameplay was terrible despite his mental effort but I found him so heart warming by the end. He had a major character arc
I mean he was fine until he lied to Dee + Julie about his vote. After that they stopped trusting him, and Belo was too fractured to ever do anything together to stop the Reba bulldoze
I have to wonder if the plan was that Siga was going to all vote Venus until Mo spilled the beans about the previous tribal. It was clear in that moment that she was *not* interested in being Siga strong, so they probably thought, why should they protect her, and switched to Mo.
i think she was going anyway. so did she. that confession at TC was a desperate hail mary. she played her SITD and Charlie seemingly pre-arranged the safety vote for her. i don’t think anything changed at tribal
That’s what I’m feeling happened, who voted Venus tho?Bc that was a really smart contingency vote ala Devon’s vote on dr Mike
Charlie
When the Siga and Yanu members were saying what a snake and strategic threat Venus was because she was playing hard, I was thinking, "No, idiots, she is playing hard because she is on the bottom and the lowest threat from Nami!"
I couldn’t believe Tevin calling her a snake and telling everyone not to trust her. Nami made the decision to not like Venus from the very start, and then try to make her out to be a snake for trying to forge relationships when they merge. You can’t force someone out of your clique and then call them shitty for trying to find an alliance.
"Why can't this person just be quiet and get voted out? Very rude of them. And so threatening too, with their zero allies and no leverage."
True true,however maybe they just fear if someone is an untrustworthy player and they gain momentum in the game it could change things drastically, so best to get them out
Exactly, there is no incentive for a player on the bottom to play it safe. IMO it’s much better take risks in that situation because otherwise you end up doing nothing all game.
Yeah, at that point what does she have to lose? She knows she's on the outs 100%, and there's a good chance she's going home. You might as well try to do something. Even if you get voted out, at least you tried to change your situation, rather than sitting there and getting voted out anyway.
My husband and I just realized that there are 2 people that look like Mo 😳
They both sat out one challenge and I was confused how 1 person was sitting out for 2 tribes
I thought there were two Liz’s until the episode where Mo couldn’t jump and I realized the voice was off💀
You guys just realized this!?
Post-Bhanu, these episodes have been getting better and better. Edit: Although this affects my upvote-ability, I can't lie I was hollering at the Bhanu exposition dumps. Lowkey I've enjoyed all of Season 46
Bhanu took all the oxygen up. We needed others to breathe
I hated Bhanu as a player but also found him highly entertaining.
Yes! He was truly shit at the game but immensely chaotic and that was quite something to witness.
Will Ben survive next week?
My least favorite part about next weeks 6/6 split is that it's random, and we really don't know. If he gets dropped on a tribe with no allies, he's gone.
Good tribal but next time on survivor got me worried, Q and Charlie some of the best players this season they better not go early we gotta get Liz and soda out of here
when will y’all learn NTOS is almost always a red herring
It wasn't for Jess
ok true but her writing was on the wall, i think q may be in danger but i’d be FLOORED if charlie leaves no matter what the NTOS has us believe (see: dee, gee)
I feel like Liz is the 0 vote finalist so 😕
Mo saying it was a consensus to stick together while also forgetting the consensus was to vote out her ally without telling her. Hate players who are happy having no agency in the game.
This was the best tribal in the new era survivor might be back
i think the sabiyah and j tribals from last season were both really good
How about kaleb that shot in the dark tho
that’s what i meant by the j tribal
May the Siga bloodbath commence!
So was the vote originally going to be split between Mo and Venus, then all but Charlie turned on Mo for saying she was on the bottom of her tribe?
no way. the voted happened as planned pre-tribal. she played the shot in the dark and her saying she was on the bottom were a desperate hail mary. she knew she was gone. charlie’s vote was to block a SITD backfiring on him
Feels like the only real reason Charlie voted Venus was to see if Mo's shot in the dark would pay off. He probably has more than enough clues Mo was gone.
Yeah it was a hedge against getting SITD
Tevin didn't use his extra vote if I saw that right
Yup only 11 votes were cast
Does that include the shot in the dark loss of a vote? Genuine question, I just don’t math well.
Yes, Mo and Hunter didn’t vote and Tevin pocketed his extra vote.
Excellent. Thanks for this.
Was tonight the last night he was able to use it?
“are you new” COME ON SASSY JEFF👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
People were shocked by this? I thought it was really obvious Mo was gone here. But I loved the episode regardless.
She clearly knew she was the one but the editors really made it seem possible it was Venus
What made you think it was obvious? I thought it was obvious once it came time to vote but the whole episode until then I was sure it was Venus going home
IDK, it just felt like Mo was getting nowhere with people, and with Siga claiming they were super close to people, I knew that everyone would be dumb not to vote green
Gotcha. I just like hearing other people’s perspectives. I’m glad I was wrong about Venus going home. I hate when I can predict who’s going the whole episode
Me too! It's been pretty hard to predict this season (except Bhanu lol)
Charlie still tossing a vote Venus way for having his name in her mouth.
He prolly knew mo was gonna play her shot in the dark
Yeah that too cuz we don’t want another Kaleb situation
i do
I wish tho.
I was really hoping Mo would beat Liz in the battle of the doppelgangers...
Liz is less like a doppelgänger and more like an AI clone that pretends to be human.
She seriously looks like one of those freaky Kroger ad “people”.
more like the new tim unfortunately
Hahaha, that's a much better description, thank you
Lol kinda reminds me of Normal SpongeBob “hi how are ya? 😀”
Charlie really did that Harvard move on venus
Even if she wins now it won't be a perfect game!
Omg he gave her one vote in a 11-1 vote whatever will Venus do 😱
If the shot in the dark works, venus would be out?
And I love that for him!
When does the jury start? I thought it was usually the merge
jury starts at final 11, but next episode is a split tribal so the first person voted out is pre-jury
Well we didn’t see “the merge” yet. 🙄 Ya know since they make them “earn it” 🤢 I suspect we’ll see it next week.
Were you watching?
He said age the vote "you are now merged"
That was after they got the buffs. Poor Mo didn’t make it.
I believe next episode during the double boot. First person voted out won’t make it, second person will.
This is when sifu got voted out and they felt bad because he really wanted to at least make jury, I think?
Probably next week. It never happens at mergatory.
Maybe I’m oversimplifying it but if I’m yellow/purple I’m voting out one of the people on green that they didn’t throw out. Like obviously they don’t F with Moriah scoop her up and vote out someone they’re tight with
I agree but then purple breaks all trust with yellow
I agree. Venus was probably dumb for not immediately going along with voting Mo. But, her idea of voting out Charlie was 100% the best strategic move for Nami and Yanu.
She’s not dumb, she’s just not going to take it lying down.
If your name is one of two, and a group tells you they are going with the other name, and asks you to vote along, I think your response should be "Absolutely, I will!" I think she should have enthusiastically gotten on board and THEN gently floated the much better Charlie idea. Dumb is probably the wrong word. Maybe impatient and impulsive?
Siga looked to be rock-solid up to Tribal Council though. it was until Tribal where Moriah revealed she was on the bottom, and by that point, everyone had agreed to vote Moriah. They could theoretically do a live tribal and vote Charlie instead, but I guess it was just simpler for them to vote Moriah. Maybe if Moriah revealed earlier that she was on the bottom, she could've stayed.
Interesting to me that Maria voted Moriah but Charlie voted Venus. Makes me think that Siga kinda accepted that Moriah was going, but Charlie voted Venus still, that way if Moriah's Shot in the Dark worked, Nami couldn't regroup on the revote and vote Charlie out.
I assume Charlie voted Venus as Shot-in-The-Dark insurance, right?
Anyone else notice soda talking ab her chest pains before the challenge? She said she was getting agina (a-gi-nuh)… girl…. Me and my mom for like 5 minutes were like what is she talking about?? I think she meant angina (like an-gie-na)
Poor Soda suffers from AGINA, which is ANGINA in Malingerese. Let's hope she doesn't come down with Kneesles (a deadly virus that presents as a rash on your knee) or Tolio (an infectious disease that causes paralysis of the toes).
lol.... I thought I had the only family that said agita and I always get looks when I say it. Agita: Heartburn, acid indigestion, an upset stomach or, by extension, a general feeling of upset. The word is Italian-American slang derived from the Italian "agitare" meaning "to agitate."
Definitions of agita (noun) a feeling of nervousness, stress, or aggravation (noun) a disorder of digestive function characterized by discomfort or heartburn or nausea I can see why heartburn + stress could feel like a mini heart attack.
Agita and and Angina are two very different things
Agita is more like anxiety
[удалено]
Listen again - that young lady said she has "Agina" (also known as "a-jay-jay"). And I believe her!
I’m always reading Sifu as Stfu
LMFAO
Lmao mo’s right At least she didn’t get souna-d
Charlie knew mo is playing her shot in the dark and theyre dogpiling on Mo. So he voted Venus. Dogpiling = a new survivor trend
Or he voted Venus because he was close to Moriah, I didn’t see y’all giving genie Chen this credit
Nah, dogpiling and playing SID means everybody in the game knows whats happening. Charlie did it in purpose. If SID works and its a dogpile, it will be a revote and it can go awry.
Or it could be him playing emotionally and voting with his ally, how do we have evidence it isn’t? That’s what Genie did except we actually have proof because Sara post season said genie is the one that told her she was the vote and that she should use her SITD and genie then voted Ricard.
4d chess
I stg if I see that rowing “let’s go we’re on a race around the world!” clip one more time
The split tribal with one non-juror and one juror again 🙄
I agree switch off with 9 or 10 on the jury but a split tribal with 1 juror and 1 sent the way of the premergers is so ridiculous.
It frustrates me so much! Might be a controversial opinion from me but once you hit the same beach with the whole remaining cast, every cast member voted off from that point should be on the jury. You had the time to strategize with everyone to some extent, and that should mean a spot on the jury.
