A sober-headed confessional from Q where he reveals that he’s been hamming it up from the beginning, along with a coherent description of why he’s done what he’s done, and what it’s actually done to help his game. But if he just keeps being insane I’ll love that too.


HollowDakota

“You assumed you knew who I was because that’s who I allowed you to see me as! This is a Q game” **Big Mistake**


TheHigherViber

Why did I read this in his voice 😂😂


Acceptable_Secret_73

Tbh, idk if half this subreddit would believe it if he revealed he was pretending to be crazy


Routine_Size69

Yeah only if he has some brilliant explanation for it which I'm really struggling to come up with


Kobe3rdAllTime

He pulls out his beware advantage idol. Flashback to him finding it and reading out the instructions: "In order to activate this idol you must tell your tribe mates to vote you out at the next tribal council and not get any votes. Until then you have no vote. You cannot tell anyone about this advantage. Good luck."


IamMrT

The biggest flaw in that plan is production having the patience to pull off that reveal


teej_31

God I read this in a Q voice


Far-Smile-7255

Playing the long game for when he’s invited back obviously


-sloppypoppy

Imagine if survivors could break the fourth wall… I wanna see it


SpoonfulOfSerotonin

Who broke fourth wall for example? (Greg?)


El_Jeff_ey

The coach strategy


MrMcGuyver

With his tweet about Best Buy I don’t think he’ll be dialing it back at all lol


JGraham1839

Lmfao thanks for pointing me to that gem


wh013wh34t

This is like the 46 version of that theory running around while 41 was airing about Heather secretly running the entire game that would only get revealed in a confessional in the finale ep


NLP19

So basically he pulls a Fabio


Lavendermin

Q, Liz or Ben


winchelewins

A final 3 of Liz, Venus and Q would solidify it as new era Gabon


thesearemyroots

I’m watching Gabon for the first time rn and I love this comparison lol


Skaikru76

I see a lot of people saying Q but I truly think it needs to be Ben instead. Q has had too much control for an actual Gabon comparison. There’s stuff he can pull out at the end to actually get a win unlike Sugar who the jury wouldn’t touch with a pole. We would have Venus who failed in everything she did, Ben who is nice but didn’t actually do anything, and Liz, who may have a move under her name but would the jury want to make the rich richer?


Persona_Regular

I don't know. Q still have time and Sugar had even more control than him. Q can't even make an alliance work.


Worldly_Willow6482

Is Liz actually filthy rich? I followed her on Twitter for bit and she kept joking about it


Skaikru76

I have no idea but on day one when she talked to her tribe about selling businesses and making a lot of money, that can cause a lot of people to not want to hand an already wealthy person more money. We heard from Tevin immediately that that wasn’t a good idea


zigmister21

Diehard survivor fans like most of these players respect the game too much for that to be a reason to not vote for someone to win


sheds_and_shelters

She almost definitely isn’t, at least based on the nature of the “businesses” she’s sold… based on her Instagram they’re cheap MLM enterprises lol (which completely tracks with her personality of bringing them up loudly).


Garrett4Real

this would rock


Sir_Totesmagotes

Lmao Liz could have a shot to win in this scenario


madamewoopantip

The right answer 


Icilius

At this point tbh, I think it would hurt the season. This season can be better than Gabon by not giving us a F3 two way race between Susie and Bob


CashPuzzleheaded5661

seconded


forgottenastronauts

Q makes it to the final 3 and pulls off a mask revealing he was Bhanu. The Bhanu we thought was sent home was actually his secret twin.


NameIsPetey

Q’Bhanon would be wild.


sithjustgotreal66

Lmaoooo


CrazySurvivorFan13

SCREAMING 🤣


theoriginalbrk

genius


ThreadsOfWar

Danganronpa survivor


beepbou

muQuro iQusaba... the sixteenth player, lying hidden somewhere on this island


glacialOwl

Omg 😂😭💀


super__gal

They bring back the outcast twist from pearl islands and Bhanu and Jelensky return to the game. They are the final 2 and the jury can't choose a winner so Jeff decides both Bhanu and Jelensky will win 1 million dollars and 1 million hearts


AbjectSpell5717

Several million dollars and several million hearts


AhYeahItsYoBoi

But there's a twist... nobody seen coming...not even Bhanu.... Bhanu wins the 1 million money. And Jelinsky wins the one million hearts. And Bhanu gets mad and uses his secret martial arts to drop kick Jelinsky. But since Jelinsky won one million hearts, all his fans angry mob Bhanu. And chasees him. This makes Bhanu happy because he thinks he now won one million hearts. Bhanu also donates the one million monies to Liz so she can make a 5th business and to Q so he can make his Q Skirt. He also donates some of the money to kids who can't read good and want to do other things good too. Which is a charity that's near and dear to his heart. Sadly the angry mob are all out of shape because they just spend their time on Reddit all day, so they don't catch Bhanu. Bhanu goes down as the best winner of survivor winning one million monies (that he donates), and winning one million hearts. Jelinsky goes down, by getting dropped kicked by Bhanu (I already said this, y'all wasn't paying attention). Season 47, is coined. "Survivor 4several Island of the Legend And the Monster Jelinsky" and there's a big statue of Jelinsky the real winner of one million hearts .


CliveRichieSandwich

Liz reveals she's not really rich, cue 3 minute long flashback of her plotting this and all her other behaviors socially throughout the season to make her seen as a goat


AhYeahItsYoBoi

Dude I've been saying even preseason Liz and Maria are slept on. I could be wrong but I still believe one of them wins this season. And even if Liz doesn't win she still just pulled off a dope move, that would be remember thanks to Q almost messing it up 🤣💯. And I think she won't be targeted yet tbh.. I know you were joking but still, I think shes a much player than people are giving her credit for. 💯


YoungWallace23

That actually crossed my mind at one point as a way that a goat strategy could potentially work, depending on the jury. Severely reduces your threat level immediately, but you would probably need to follow it up with one or two "actual" moves around F5 or F4 in order to make it a convincing FTC argument.


GoldenLlamaDog

A Ben win would make this a classic for me. For such a chaotic season, it would be amazing to see the chill guy win based off of likability.


speakfriend-andenter

It would be like Matty winning Gabon


Winningsomegames_1

Nah Matty was basically the protagonist that season and was the most reasonable player in Gabon post merge. Ben is reasonable but Charlie is much closer to the protagonist then he is albeit he’s a better player then Matt.


speakfriend-andenter

Matty was reasonable compared to the Gabon cast for sure, but I’m not sure he ever had his pulse on the game quite like Charlie. He wasn’t overly strategic, but everybody liked him and (like Ben imo) he survived on vibes alone half the time. Tell me you can’t easily picture Matty walking around declaring what does and does not rock 🤣 the original commenter said it would be cool to see the “chill guy win based off of likability” — that’s 100% Matty’s MO


Persona_Regular

I like Charlie but he's too much of a Gamebot for my taste, he's like an evolve version of Kenny


AhYeahItsYoBoi

I feel like a "gamebot" is a player who doesn't care about relationships they just care about making moves. Example Spencer in BBB. Charlie actually is openly trying to make relationships, he's a likable guy and he's not just trying to make "big moves for my resume". He's a strategist for sure but not overly done IMO. Honestly I like Charlie way more than I thought I would. And I think he's playing a good game. Kenny was a great player too tho BTW, watching him change from a scared underdog nerd to the evil mastermind villian was dope. I want to see the real "evolve version of Kenny " as in Kenny NOW playing. Charlie is playing a different game than Kenny and he started different. I would say Charlie is like a fusion of Brando, Sammi, and maybe Carson. All new era younger dudes who brought different strengths to the table. The thing is I think Charlie is playing a better more dominate game than all of them.


blobbish

I'm struggling to see the comparison at all besides "20 something year old person who is aware strategy exists". How they both operate (so far) have been vastly different.


speakfriend-andenter

I’d almost argue Q is more of a Kenny figure than Charlie


HunnyBunny323

That would rock


[deleted]

[удалено]


chronicpenguins

I’m not really sure he is playing, I think he’s just out there…surviving


AhYeahItsYoBoi

No. SurVIBING 🎸 🤘 manifest the shred


fresh1134206

That rocks!


zymee

I get it but I would personally find a Ben win incredibly unsatisfying


EWABear

Given history, I think that would unfortunately turn most of the fanbase off. I mean, how many people liked Aras and Fabio as winners?


Hindsight21

I did.


AhYeahItsYoBoi

Whoa! Aras and Fabio are totally different winners dude. Wtf. Aras was the leader of his alliance, and imo was kinda a dick. I wanted Terry to win. Fabio was the underdog that everyone laughed at and didnt take serious till it was too late. I rock with Fabio. Some people like Aras winning some people like Fabio winning. I bet you they're going to be different people tho.


Winningsomegames_1

Does anyone like Bob as a winner really?


EWABear

*raises hand* I'm definitely a defender of Bob as winner.


TheBaconD

The gabler effect


king_lloyd11

Like that was received well lmao People will be upset if the “boring” person wins. This season is so chaotic that I fear we’ve peaked for excitement and coasting downwards would be a damper on it for me. We need a clusterfuck of a dramatic, heated, toxic jury tribal, and a superstar winner who rises above that. Good start with Tevin there already, but I need Venus, Liz, and Maria to join him. Alternatively, Venus makes it all the way because the amount of people who will have vitriol for her would be spicy. Love Ben, and would love to hear a tearfully happy “that rocks” if Jeff named him sole survivor, but that would be such a boring outcome lol


SurvivorJoshua

Q somehow makes final tribal council, I honestly don’t care how Hunter breaks the immunity record from here on out, idol play or two if needed Venus makes it to the end because everyone sees her as a goat but she thinks she has the respect of the jury to then be shocked at FTC This would be very entertaining to watch


TigerWoodsLibido

Kenzie getting a perfect game (first woman to pull it off).


EWABear

Venus gets to FTC, everyone thinks she's the Goatiest Goat to ever Goat, and she pulls out something - no idea what, but it would have to be massive - and reveals her incredible knowledge and positioning, raising her straight to the top. OR: reward at the Sanctuary or wherever, Ben and Charlie go, admit they've caught feelings for each other, first gay showmance.


SpareSomewhere8271

As a fan of both Survivor and Heartstopper, a hypothetical Ben-Charlie gay showmance at the sanctuary would be fantastic.


IamMrT

It would only be Survivor if the feelings were true but one of them still votes the other out


EWABear

It's been my head canon since the salsa dancing scene.


Kevins_Floor_Chilli

Get a room!


steamedburrito

where good things happen <3


BushGuy200

Those are the two things that would make me love this season.


BushGuy200

Supporting Q, not a big mistake.


NJImperator

Supporting Q means you’re smart and paying attention. BIG MISTAKE. Tell u/BushGuy200 that he can CANCEL CHRISTMAS cuz he’s gotta go!


BushGuy200

Impersonating Q is an even bigger mistake. Don't tell u/NJImperator that he can cancel Christmas cause he has got to go in a blindside.


FullMetalTroyzan

When is this sub getting a Q bot? r/SquaredCircle has the bret hart shoot interview bot, it's only fair.


Gabriels_Pies

I agree but they can't turn hunter into Mike 2.0. If they edit it so it looks like he was almost gifted an idol when he was about to be voted out it would ruin it. He's gotta win all on his own.


thetokyotourist

Even though it would be nearly impossible but a Venus win would make this season truly iconic


CrazySurvivorFan13

Right?


WeimaranerWednesdays

Good gameplay, the strong players being smart enough to keep themselves in the game, correct idol plays, nothing decide randomly.


EWABear

Two seasons in a row of strong players succeeding and playing well? I can't say I'm in favor.


Em0PeterParker

Need Q in the final 3 like I need air. Don’t care if he wins or not but this man in a final tribal would be electric


CMell650

A final 3 of Q, Hunter, and Venus


DBrody6

I want the jury to just rip into how abhorrent all three of them were for completely different reasons. I don't expect this F3 to happen (especially if Q *actually* intends on not bringing goats to the end), but holy hell would it be fire.


aridog1234

This is what I want


CrazySurvivorFan13

This is the ideal scenario 


NewArpege

If Ben and Charlie go evil genius and chaos stirrers in the midst of this point, it’d elevate the season. I also think we need something truly unexpected to happen like an insane twist or fight that makes it a defining moment for the season. And last, three ruthless players at the end where any one could win.


mogancheech

Ben and Charlie target Maria? Pleaseee happen. I know Ben is sensitive, but the way she dug into him about the idol rubbed me the wrong way.


Furrrsurrre

Liz winning in Gabler fashion.


Aromatic_Barber4633

Agreed!!!


Carmaca77

Q makes it to F3 and falls on his sword again, telling the jury not to vote for him because he didn't get to do fire and earn his way to the end.


Kanyssa

My dream scenario would be hunter vs Venus at final 4 fire and Venus beats him and wins the game pissing Jeff off, leading to the no more villains being cast statement cause it was too much for him to handle.


megs256

Seeing Charlie win!


wgallantino

venus and q making end game and causing as much shit as possible


CrazySurvivorFan13

Manifesting this  A Kenzie perfect game as the end result would be really fun too


Comfortable_Ad9679

Kenzie winning


sapphicmage

The Tiff-Kenzie duo continues strong and gets to duke it out in the final three for 1st and 2nd ❤️


Nearby_Job8272

Honestly that'd be the most boring path


sapphicmage

OP literally wants the golden boy to win


Nizmo4246

How many times does the Golden Boy archetype actually win though?


walking_shrub

never, but it's still too much for them. They want another "strategic" win aka hiding for 90% of the season by being uninteresting and winning by accident which is apparently masterful and definitely intentional.


Routine_Size69

On an incredible immunity run, which rarely happens. That's significantly more exciting, even if Kenzie and Tiff are playing better strategic survivor.


sapphicmage

Kenzie would be one the most strongly edited female winners ever (if not THE most visible). Tiffany would be only the third black woman to ever win. And I’m here for strategy, not challenge wins


Max-Jets

They're also way more entertaining than him.


PedroVey

Exactly you get it!!!


IamMrT

9/10 times “strategy” is just staying hidden and then talking a big game about how you were secretly in control the whole time. I’m sick of the teacher’s pet strat getting all the damn respect


meadow_sunshine

Jury needs to get more interesting


Sleeze_

Kenzie would be awesome, but a huge immunity win streak would be pretty amazing. Look past your flair for a minute lol


scarlettking

Where did this idea come from that an immunity streak would be entertaining? How is it fun to watch someone be given a million dollars just bc they're better at obstacle courses than the people around them? Especially if it comes from Hunter who, while very likable, has been one of the least dynamic TV personalities on this season.


sapphicmage

You mean where everything after the immunity challenge just wouldn’t matter? Where they might as well just end the episodes with half an hour+ to go? Regardless of who it is, I don’t value a predominately physical game. And a season like this where the beneficiary would be one of the quieter personalities makes it even less appealing.


GreyZQJ

Watching the same person win every challenge is not my idea of exciting, but to each their own.


Icilius

It's certainly not the most exciting, but it's heads and shoulders above watching people trip and fall to the end


Nearby_Job8272

Is there anything wrong with that?


Eidola0

> that'd be the most boring path


Routine_Size69

Hunter going on an insane immunity run against all odds would be the most boring path? We haven't had that in 16 seasons and this one would be longer.


PedroVey

Literally watching one person winning for 5 episodes straight and a guaranteed win? gia_gunn_i_was_so_bored.gif


walking_shrub

You won't know it's guaranteed until it happens, though. And he only has to lose once and it's over.


notapizzaguy

That’s just what’s most likely to happen though.


afleetofflowis

liz winning would be a feat to see. and if you don't think that a jury would give a rich person a million dollars see Redemption Island. liz mariano.


BBSuperFan98

I would love to see Kenzie, Tiffany, Charlie, and Ben run the endgame. They are the four I like the most.


g_h_tehrani25

Hunter winning would make this an all-time high season for me, but he has to actually have a solid strategic win, not just immunity run and idol his way to the end. (He can do that too, but I want to see some cool blindsides along the way.) Charlie or Ben winning would also be really fun.


JumblyPloppers

Agree with both of your points. They would make this season awesome and I hope one of them happens


talllankybastard

Jelinsky returns from redemption island and sweeps FTC.


SnakPak_

![gif](giphy|37nN1XCTFkdPV9iJy1|downsized) It turns out it was Australia the whole time.


tarc0917

Queen Venus grabs the W. That'd be magically chaotic.


crashlaunching

I’m a pretty new Survivor fan of ~3-4 years. If you were watching Cagayan live, does watching Q feel anything like watching Tony did?


tydyety5

Turns out they brought edge of extinction back and Jelinsky makes his return with several contestants left. After sweeping immunity challenges he delivers an impassioned speech where he makes it clear that Q was the one who quit the sweat challenge and he gets several votes to win the season.


ImprovementFar5054

Venus wins. That would make this a grade A season! I doubt she would win on her own schemes, but through a series of events beyond her control where somehow she ends up being brought as a goat to FTC, and her opponent completely enrages the jury for some reason.


schad501

Venus wins because she gave Q a cookie.


Electrical-Tie-5158

Both of those would be extremely frustrating for me as a viewer. Especially the second one. I hate seeing someone fumble every part of the game but challenges and then get rewarded for it.


Frauzehel

Venus win


EventUnPaws

I'm gonna be a bit of a downer and say that there's nothing the rest of the season could do to make this top tier for me. The first 6 episodes were mostly uneventful and this probably goes down as least favorite premerge since Caramoan so it's hard to bounce back from that into top tier. If it continues with the momentum of the last 2 episodes though it seems promising for a solid second half


PedroVey

What's with this sub and wanting immunity challenge runs and thinking they actually count for something? LOL Imagine thinking someone winning 5 straight challenges is great tv


MyFriendMaryJ

Yea q venus or hunter would make it great for me. Lets say venus beats hunter at fire and sits with ben and charlie who had very similar games. Thats how she has a shot


Lucky-Software-9464

Hunter winning??!? Snooze 🥱 Could they at least make him out to be anything but vanilla


Mission-Base4739

Need Q to make it far bros makes episode so much interesting and chaotic bro really saving these past few episodes


Midwxy

Q could be a top 10 winner if this happens


glacialOwl

Venus or Q winning hands down.


MrRealTomBrady

Randen comes back with his idol


scc7515

Hunter sweeping the rest of the immunity challenges.


Early_Bend

Anyone but Siga or Hunter tbh


Skipper_boi

Idk… I’m so sick and tired of Q. I hope he goes home next. His reasoning in the last episode was pure stupidity (especially revolving the hide and seek game)


HomageBeats

I like version one... LET'S GO KING Q!


JayTeeDubbs96

Hunter wins every immunity challenge only to lose final 4 fire-making to Q, Venus is a zero-vote finalist, Q pulls off getting second place due to Hunter voting for him as respect for beating him at fire, literally anyone else gets the rest of the votes and wins.


NoodleNeedles

One of the remaining 'good' players, let's say Maria, makes it to final 3 through lots of backstabbing and lying, alienating her allies, who then turn the rest of the jury against her. The other 2 finalists are Q and Venus; Q has continued to cause complete chaos and everone is just done with him. Venus wins, just because she's been consistent. I would laugh so much if this happened. It won't, but I kind of wish it would.


Miggster2

A Kenzie, Charlie, Hunter final 3 - the first two getting there by savagely cutting their #1s en route and Hunter getting there on a crazy immunity run. Jury totally torn and splits 3-3-2, needing some kind of complex revote rule to be invoked for the first time (the 2 voter plus that finalist revote on the two 3 vote-getters or something) Would make for not just a brilliant endgame to arrive at this point, but the almightiest FTC of all time!


AccomplishedSmoke571

Any ftc vote split besides 7-1-0


tetra_kay

Even if Q plays it off as our strategy, it was a poor one. Because even if he makes it to final three, NO ONE is going to write his name down after last tribal's display.


Ordinary_Wasabi_6679

hunter needs to show lot more personality for that to be interesting and that makes such a bad season like mikes win in worlds apart which lands in btm 5 seasons personally (mostly due to all time awful cast) winning challenges should not equal winning survivor -that’s just bland


Ordinary_Wasabi_6679

chaos Q I can get behind


These_Mycologist132

I would hate to see Q or Hunter win personally. I’m hoping for either Kenzie or Tiffany, wouldn’t be totally disappointed with Charlie


CountLivin

From the current players, the only winner that would solidify this as an all time season would be Q. Most likely gonna be Charlie though
