I mean that was probably explained in the walkthrough that we don't see

Are you suggesting Jeff just made that up on the spot? Could be of course, but there's no evidence
Yeah I pretty much am, it’s not like a big conspiracy though

It’s not like anyone has the power to stop him from doing that anymore

Seems like if he was just making it up on the spot to help Hunter he wouldn't make him go back across his own bridge and around. It seemed like he was referencing established rules.

But maybe not.

Take me to your Shida

I've been trying to figure out a winners tier list and I just cant come up with anything so please enjoy these blobs

Tier 1
Maria
Tiff
Charlie
Kenzie
Ben

Tier 2
Liz
Q
Venus

I just feel like the only thing I'm sure about is that nobody on the jury or in the t1 list respects the game (or just as a person outright) any of the people in t2.

now watch that be the final 3.

I mean, J'tia is a successful nuclear engineer. I do not gather a lot of information from someone's survivor skills vs their day to day life because that's how fans turn into The Worst

I get that, and J'Tia got a particularly awful edit, but many doctors have to make tons of critical decisions on a daily basis and under intense pressure and stress. I said I'm kind of being an rear end in a top hat with that remark, but he displayed exceptionally poor decision-making under pressure, specifically.

Probable winner picks: Maria, Kenzie
Outside chance: Charlie, Ben, Tiff
No real shot: Liz
0 Vote Finalist: Venus, Q

Right now it feels like Kenzie’s game to lose, which makes the premerge combined with her redemption arc make more sense. I do think her moves are going to catch up with her though.

Maria is the other possibility for me; Kenzie might have betrayed Tiff too soon and the preview implies that Maria is going to do some aggressive stuff next time. I think as Kenzie’s stock falls Maria’s will rise.

Charlie’s been talking to us a lot but he hasn’t been driving anything, and his game is explicitly tied to Maria’s in a way that feels like they’ve set up a poetic payoff (Maria is Charlie’s Denise, and Denise won)

Ben seems like this season’s Fabio in that he has a decent shot if he gets to the end because he hasn’t mistreated anyone and seems fine to be around. But in the New Era that may not be enough.

I think Tiff’s game is still pretty sunk with Q and Kenzie both going rogue on her, but she still has her stupid idol so she’ll probably be safe till about when they expire.

Liz’s whole story is about the entrepreneur of countless stupid companies being unable to fill out a Survivor resumé despite her best efforts. It seems like that might get wrapped up this next week.

Listen to the way everyone has talked to and about Venus from the start of the game, including Hunter this last week. Nobody likes or respects Venus. The only way she’d get replaced as the stone cold lock of the century zero vote goat at this point is for someone to do the type of stuff Q did.

Q totally blew up not only his own game but multiple others; he can’t win but he might get dragged to the end.

Just from the edit I think I'd put Charlie ahead of Maria now. Kenzie obviously the frontrunner and then Ben/Tiff behind those 3. Just hoping we don't end up with Venus and Q in the FTC since it'll just be 40 minutes or so of the jury patting the winner on the back and making GBS threads on those 2.

Ah.

Kenzie overstepped but I think she and Tiff might still be good. She has the social prowess to talk her way out of throwing out Tiff's name. "I had to distance us from each other to keep us from being targets" or something. It's really wild that those two and Charlie/Maria are the only things even close to alliances at this point. I do think the cast mostly sucks at Survivor but it will be genuinely fun to watch things play out from here.

Tiff does not strike me as someone who is going to buy anyone’s bullshit

She might have to keep the relationship going out of lack of other options, but no way she’ll ever trust her again

he's definitely at the back of the pack in terms of being a threat, I could see everyone above him just taking each other out leaving a final four of him, Liz, Q, and Venus

I know it requires a certain level of self awareness but I don't know how there's not at least a conversation about how these goats desperately need each other. Like if you're Liz, Q, or Venus, that's the only final three where you have any shot, so you have to write literally anyone else's name down going forward.

For the Angel of Death spread his wings on the blast,
And breathed in the face of the foe as he passed;
And the eyes of the sleepers waxed deadly and chill,
And their hearts but once heaved, and for ever grew still

Yeah, when I saw the three of them get paired together for the challenge I immediately thought 'oh that's the Final 3 all of them should be going for.'

Thanks, I hate it, but it would be a really fitting end to this whole mess. I can think of worse winners than Liz, though.

Honestly, their camera cover at these tribals is really impressive, too. Seems like they're set up well to handle whatever weird direction tribal takes and are able to shoot it all very well.

Also, nice to see a tribal that only moderately descends into chaos and everyone stays seated. I missed those tribals!

I'm fairly sure that the 'half pull it out of the pocket, stuff it back in' shots were shot after the fact. And I think they were staged shots, not 'oh, we saw you do it, but didn't catch it on camera.'

They've always staged and restaged things they happened to not get on camera. The hotel fight where Colby was just sitting around watching TV being the most famous one, as I recall.

Also, it's time for Survivor 47: Gen X vs Millennials vs Gen Z.

I feel like we’re setting up for a Maria/Charlie/Venus final 3 where Maria explains how she was in charge of everything, Charlie tries to pretend he had more influence than he actually did and Venus says a bunch of random poo poo nobody listens to.

Q is a perfect goat but I don’t think anyone will be able to stand being around him until the end.

Q is a great goat if he makes it to the end but he's chaotic and depending on him (as shown by The Six) is clearly a death sentence. I think he's going down, maybe not immediately, but he's still threatening despite being Q.
