From what I've heard, you can skip AUS BvW.Can also skip AU All-Stars, which really damages a lot of fan favorites' legacies. BvW is offensively boring and suffers from a void of likability. Some people think "AU is always better than US" but those two seasons are flagrant counterexamples. US is way more consistent with higher production value, even if it is past its prime. --- Help control the pet population. Have your pets spayed or neutered!

Yeah, I respect Tommy, Erika, and Maryanne more for being picked despite being the biggest threat than anything anyone did in winning a fire making challenge.Yup, this is way better, and something juries need to consider. The reason Cassidy deserved to lose had nothing to do with her not going into fire and everything to do with her justification of her decision. "It's not going to help Gabler, he can't win" in the most arrogant way possible was not what that jury wanted to hear. Gabler won by being the better person, simple as that. Sure, there was nothing wrong with Jesse trying to tell Cassidy to put her game where her mouth was - because it would have helped him - but all Cassidy needed to say was "Oh please, we all know that if Jesse made F3, he'd clean up. I wanted to ensure his elimination. My odds of beating him were 50-50 while Gabler could beat him 95% of the time. I'm taking that 95%." I really wish Jeff would follow the international example and revert to that F4 being a vote that only goes to fire when it ties. --- Help control the pet population.

i actually don't know where venus said that. if it was in the ep, i missed it. just going off what was posted, assuming she did say that.She blew up her own game the round Mo went home because she wanted to keep more women in the game... and couldn't specify a reason. We also know her "Woman Life Freedom" catchphrase. The signs are all pretty obvious there. Kendra voted for the only guy she'd have voted for tbh. She's also not the most sane person in the world and I really wish we'd have seen more of her being quirky. Also I agree that the immediate "After Show" needs to go. The losing finalists don't want to be there. Many of them have spoken out about this. Give them a day to digest what happened. But we all know the reason why it's this way is so Jeff can, well, Jeff. Naye745 posted... charlie got absolutely screwed, worse than cassidy, aubry, russell, parvati, any oft-mentioned "screwed" finalist we've ever had.Russell and Cassidy screwed themselves, each by being a narcissist. Both of them deserved to lose accordingly. Parvati was screwed because she didn't disassociate from Russell enough. Aubry is the only one there who was legitimately screwed by two big bitter babies who couldn't admit that they got outplayed by the nerdy girl. Yes, Aubry mismanaged Julia with the way she handled the strikethrough, so Julia isn't guilty at all. But the Tweedles both should have given Aubry a chance and did not. One of the only times there were legitimately bitter jurors. Lex in All-Stars and Kenny in Gabon are two others who come to mind. This is not one of those examples, but there are quite a few oddities. --- Help control the pet population. Have your pets spayed or neutered!

this was worse than HHH.Go to bed. Sleep on it. You'll realize it wasn't that horrific. I can name several finales that are worse. Australian Outback (which had only 3 people and really dragged), Caramoan, Kaoh Rong, Game Changers, HHH, Edge of Extinction, and Island of the Idols. Was this a good finale?

Really? Because I've beeing seeing him as a Spencer (albeit a bit more humble).Yup, that's exactly what he said. He was talking about how "Jill" (he mistook Kim's name as "Jill" for a year or two and kinda ran with the in-joke) had all these contingency plans that made her a strategic force, and that Charlie did too. He was seeing Charlie as the flexible strategic player who was keeping bridges with everyone and outplaying Kenzie. Underleveled posted... Really? Because I've beeing seeing him as a Spencer (albeit a bit more humble).I mean, he looks kinda like a cross between Spencer and Adam Klein, so there is that. And he finished as runner-up just as Spencer did. I mean, Charlie played the best strategic game here, there's no denying that, but I think he lacked in opening up to people, and that helped Kenzie beat him since she at least did that. Being vulnerable and open with jurors goes a long way in securing their votes - farther than being the best strategist does. But on the other hand, this jury had someone basing his vote on who would use the money the way he deemed most noble, someone basing her entire decision on private parts, and... a few I'm still a little confused about. One of which is Liz's vote for Charlie. Another of which is Maria's vote for Kenzie. My dad didn't want to watch the After Show since he'd checked out for the night so I didn't watch it yet. Only want to watch it once. Still, congrats to Kenzie. She earned it by playing a better social game than Charlie. Survivor is not human chess, people!

I hope they do the jury deliberations like they did in 45, where they KINDA still use the open forum format but Jeff calls each of them to speak by name and each person gets one segment, just like they did pre-34.Yeah, I hope they do that again... and don't edit out a juror's question like they did to Bruce in 45. This is the same format the Australian edition has been using for a good while, and Survivor SA used in its last season or two. It's exactly how things should be, the jurors get the floor, Jeff shuts up, and there isn't any grandstanding that overshadows the finalists. Very impressed with Venus's question.

| BlueCrystalTear 05/22/24 9:43:11 PM #71 | That prep Kenzie did was a little over-the-top, but Liz doing none of it was the key. Every time Liz got a flame, it didn't stick.
Also Liz is delusional to think she'd have cleaned up jury votes. I sincerely doubt that. No clue if it's Charlie or Kenzie winning this now. Votes for each, barring a total meltdown... Charlie: Maria, Ben (tiebreaker) Kenzie: Liz, Tiff, Venus ...no idea who the rest of them vote for tbh. I think it's up in the air! Liz could potentially be swung by Charlie, too.

Ben is probably the 0 vote getter. Especially after all Kenzie did for him. It's a decision that will blow up in his face, most likely. Also... they sent fire-making kits to their camp in the past?

Also that segment was far more boring than a vote scrambling. Watching people make fire is lame. Why haven't they axed it yet?

Ben would be foolish to take Charlie with him to the end. He's already looking like a fool by talking about who needs the money the most. Juries don't take that into consideration.

Also Liz owning what she did for Kenzie makes it very obvious she's not winning. That's the key difference between this and TAR, when all those teams gave each other answers.

I feel like this is gonna be the most blatantly obvious vote of the post-merge. F5 in the new era always seems to be just taking out the obvious big threat. It only wasn't in 45 because Jake found an idol and threw a wrench in everyone's plans.Yeah, everyone should know that if they let Maria through to the next round, she's gonna win the season. If Liz and Charlie vote Ben out here, they both deserve to lose. Both of them will beat Ben but not Maria.

| BlueCrystalTear 05/15/24 11:30:52 PM #36 | Sounds like I made a good call taking a hard pass on this season of TAR. The 90-minute episodes and COVID protocols were not a good combination... especially on a season where there were a lot of issues and boring, predictable winners. Like I saw what happened to Angie & Danny and I was disgusted. They were eliminated at literally 0% fault of their own. At least there were some teams that were out early that were fun messes, but it really sounds like the last few episodes were outright bad.
I hope the TAR hiatus until next spring due to that new show The Summit (that looks like it'll be a long 90 minutes unless they encourage drama like Outlast did) taking its time slot will get Bertram & Elise to reevaluate some things with the extended runtime, hopefully resulting in a much better product. We need more drama, we need more culture, and we need more moments of genuine humanity. If they do that instead of just showing people completing tasks with a scenic backdrop, maybe TAR37 will actually hook me again... --- Help control the pet population.

After watching this season, with 4? people In a row going home with idols in their pocket, are newer contestants going to spam idol plays?Maybe. Though season forty-several started filming around the start of the month AFAIK (right after Jeff had that pop-up event in LA at the end of April) so maybe that cast didn't see these last two. S48, though, different story. Blaziken posted... The problem is that new era players are so insistent on making #BIGMOVEZ, so when they find an idol, they want to use it to blindside someone, rather than using it defensively.Using it defensively is the superior stratagem because it helps you get to the end. If you don't make it to the F3, you can't win. Hunter was dumb with bluffing his idol back at camp, which only exacerbated the already big target on his back. Tiff should have just thrown it out at either F9 or F8 just to get rid of it since Quitavius can't be trusted to keep a secret. I get keeping it through F9 as a roll of the dice, but not TWO more votes. Venus should've recognized that the conversation with Charlie had blown up in her face, and played the idol as a failsafe (which would've sent Kenzie home because Ben forgot how to spell). But hey, that means she's around another vote! And Quitavius was already seeing his spot in the F3, getting way ahead of himself, and for some reason believed that Liz and Kenzie would want Charlie out. No idea why he'd think that if he understood their positions at all. Downright stupid play. CLEARLY, if Kenzie and Liz side with Q/Maria, their only option is Q/Maria, who have no reason to take either of them to the end. Seriously, this cast is so bad at the game, and the season is way better because of it. --- Help control the pet population. Have your pets spayed or neutered!

And now, since Charlie is the one who told Maria and Liz and Kenzie didn't, Charlie and Ben can get the Siga band back together. And YESSS NO NEW BEACH TWIST! S44 taught Jeff a lesson to vary it up a little. But it will probably be "Odd seasons have it, even seasons don't" --- Help control the pet population. Have your pets spayed or neutered!

Also... Venus not overdoing the makeup is great. --- Help control the pet population. Have your pets spayed or neutered! RIP Bob Barker (1923 - 2023) - and thanks for all the memories. |

Andy, you mind if we use mine since I got a poll in leading into the finale?Not a problem. I posted it in a hurry, lol. So that last confessional... Maria so confidently stating that Charlie is going home makes me think otherwise. Does she really think Liz and Kenzie are on board with that? --- Help control the pet population.
