When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world Diabeetus.
I look forward to Maria lying to herself that Charlie needed to be voted out because he would be the winner of the popular jury vote, the reality is: I wanted my letter, drat you Charlie.

I hope Q gets blindsided and goes home with yet another idol in the pocket.

This would be fine for him, take out Q and get Maria at 5 and you’re at fire.

But Q’s idol… his best hope people (Ben?) pretend they’re actually voting Charlie so Q gets blindsided with the idol too haha

Yeah, one of my funnier possible endings is Q just sneaking to the end and actually winning when he's seemed dead for weeks.

Either another player goes home with an idol in their pocket or Q is the only one to play it correctly.

Kinda greedy, next tribal the biggest threat Maria might not be immune and then you shouldn’t even need it.

But I do think the idiocy of going home with an idol is a little overblown. These are blindsides so what viewers are expecting players to do is to just pull out their idols when they think they’re safe. Maybe some people will do that next season but I don’t know if I back the “always play it immediately” theory… of course Hunter’s non-play was really bad and this one was a little questionable with only one more chance to play it but shrug

She was just SO confident that Kenzie Liz and Ben were on her side but I also think there was a bit of greed on her part. Q had said he'd even play it on her if it meant they went to the end together. She easily could have said "Charlie is trying to drum up votes for you." but I think she was trying to keep Q from playing his idol so that they could "share" it next vote.

Also it was so funny watching Charlie footgun himself just to watch Maria do the same.

It also could have just been the edit, but it helps that nobody gave it away at tribal. I was so worried, but I think everyone played it nice and relaxed.

Whatever.
The idol greed is real. With them showing the votes, I thought we might get a different twist, like Q would play the idol but we’d get the very rare Survivor idol flashback to show that no, Charlie had already found it and planted a fake.

Kenzie continues to get the sweetheart edit. She’s either the winner or the editors love her and are bummed she comes up short. Charlie and Maria both have the prototypical strong player vibe going into the end. Should be theirs if they’re at the end. I don’t think there’s any path for them both to be there, would they go at each other in fire? They wouldn’t need to, but I could see it. Maybe Kenzie or Liz squeaks out a final immunity and does fire against one of them because they had failed at doing the big moves they spoke of earlier in the game.

Find it hard to imagine Charlie/Maria losing at fire to anyone else remaining
