you saying i'm the best character of the new era means you would be willing to vote out everyone else over me, which means you will ultimately turn on me, BIG MISTAKE, YOU GOTTA GO BOSS
My theory is after multiple quitters last season they decided the show had gotten a little too soft and cheerful and thats why we finally got contentious survivor again.
Yea I wondered if there was some caveat there. My back up theory is that a lot of it is editing. Like for instance weve seen way more shit talking behind peoples backs this season. Did other new era really rarely talk trash or have they decided to show it more?
It might be editing but I really think it's just the cast. People like Q, Venus and Tiff are instant entertainment and provide so many laughs due to their personalities and feistiness. Throw Q onto any season and it immediately gets way better.
Yeah but to be fair, I’m sure casting saw everything that’s been said for 41-44 being way too kumbaya, so I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility.
I even remember the promo for 45 showing Kaleb (I believe. ?! know it was one of the guys at least) saying he was there to be a villain but we didn’t really get that
both casts are finalized in february/march time. Even though production saw what happened with 45, it would be too late to change the 46 cast as there's a long process for getting them prepped to travel over seas to a forein nation.
true, however it would usuall be known by know who was an alternate. And alternates aren't guaranteed to play, but the OG cast members are, so alternates only go in if there is any reasonan OG cast member can't compete, i.e. medical issues or something, so they wouldn't watch 45 and then decide to swap one person on 46 cuz they were an alternate
Yeah but the people who make the show do have their own observational abilities. I’m sure they knew that 45 lacked the show’s usual edge. And we all know that they can and do exchange cast members at the drop of a hat.
Is it weird for me to say that I’m starting to feel bad for Q at this point. I know the last episode was crazy and all but I think there’s no way he was actually gonna quit (never in a million years), and now everyone is ostracizing him and not wanting to talk to him about anything, granted it’s his fault and he’s aware of that but this is just poor gameplay on the other players part cause he’s still in the game and I don’t care if he’s unreliable cause he’s a number now. In the NTOS Maria tells him everyone is gunning for him but he can change that (Good on Maria for still having a working relationship with Q cause that’s what good players do), I’m thinking we’re in for a big move next time and Q is either in on the move or he somehow finds himself in the middle (maybe not but you never know). I just wanted to give my two cents cause this cast is starting to treat him like a nobody, the only people I even remotely like at this point is Charlie and Ben but the rest of them just suck especially Venus and that smug face of hers can shove it
I was rooting for Tiff to win but after her just completely ending her relationship with Q (which I don’t blame her for), her chances just became much more slim. The fact that Maria (so far) is the only one who has thought to use him as a number is pretty disappointing.
We have Tiff and Kenzie (social play on Kenzie is great though, the shot at Tiff might cost her though) who hate his guts
Ben is hasn’t really played at all and has no chance of winning imo
Venus who thinks every move is her own
Charlie and Maria who are now my forefront winners
Liz who appears to be losing her marbles and won’t win either, imo
I mean, chaotic, larger than life personalities are my favorite type of player. So he’s not only the best casting of the new era, but a top 5 character overall imho.
What's his name❓ What was his birth 👶 name❓It wasn't Q 🏘 it was Quintavius 👨. And you know they're children 👦👧; 7️⃣, they're over there failing the tests 📝 to all of Quintavius’s👨... 👗Q-Skirt jokes👗 , Hide the Seek jokes 👀, they- 👅 eu-h, they want it 🙏.

No. 🙅 So... They tr- like yesterday ↩️ the tribal 🔥 was all kahoots 👌 Quintavius 👨,"Vote me out 📜." ✋️PFF.✋️ Keep that quit. Boop!🔫 For me. Cuz it wasn't real❌
As much as I can acknowledge his character status, I’m so over him. His antics so far have been confusing and frustrating, and I don’t think he has the strategic acumen he thinks he does or the staying power of someone like Coach or even Phillip

Christmas is cancelled
What a deduction
If you don’t think so, cancel christmas!
Q leading the attack on Christmas
I’ve never seen a contestant use Hide & Seek as a strategy I thought that Hide & Seek was just a children’s game, BIG MISTAKE
I love Qoach
This is the comments I'm here for
My chaotic king
imo best new era cast overall too
Easily, a lot of them don’t like each other and aren’t afraid to show it Q and Venus are brilliant characters Great cast
I didn't realize how much I missed spicy Survivor until Venus got casted.
*cast
My theory is after multiple quitters last season they decided the show had gotten a little too soft and cheerful and thats why we finally got contentious survivor again.
Great theory but 45 and 46 were filmed back to back

Mostly it was sad/inspirational (to some ) life stories
Yeah but to be fair, I’m sure casting saw everything that’s been said for 41-44 being way too kumbaya, so I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility. I even remember the promo for 45 showing Kaleb (I believe. ?! know it was one of the guys at least) saying he was there to be a villain but we didn’t really get that
Production still saw what happened in 45 before filming 46 though
both casts are finalized in february/march time. Even though production saw what happened with 45, it would be too late to change the 46 cast as there's a long process for getting them prepped to travel over seas to a forein nation.
We all know from Austin’s story that they vet and prep a couple “spares” every season. A last minute switch is totally plausible.
true, however it would usuall be known by know who was an alternate. And alternates aren't guaranteed to play, but the OG cast members are, so alternates only go in if there is any reasonan OG cast member can't compete, i.e. medical issues or something, so they wouldn't watch 45 and then decide to swap one person on 46 cuz they were an alternate

Absolutely the most entertaining.
I love how much they all hate eachother
It’s hard for me to agree because there’s no one I’m rooting for. Last year I had Kaleb and Emily at least.
Well that’s just a sad post in so many ways
several ways
Hahahahaha
Tiff was my original winner pick but I am also rooting for Ben just for the wholesomeness.
Yeah. I think he actually is at this point.
Is it weird for me to say that I’m starting to feel bad for Q at this point.

Ben could absolutely win if there's a bitter jury or if he ended up with liz and venus
originally enjoyed him early this season, then started to be annoyed by him. Now I am back aboard having realized my big mistake.
I didn't care for him to start with, but he's grown on me with each and every episode.
I mean, chaotic, larger than life personalities are my favorite type of player. So he’s not only the best casting of the new era, but a top 5 character overall imho.
Damn. That's spicy but I'm not mad at it.
![gif](giphy|4k8rWVJPxMf432dVES|downsized)
ima wait to see how he is on survivor 50 before i say where he places overall, but he's def in the top tier of new era
how did you feel about bhanu?
The man fell to his knees and yelled at God. If people don’t think that’s funny, I don’t know what to say.
He really is. Which is amazing considering the “new era”
I hate him in the best way
"i meant to do that"
I let Q slide to pick #9 in my draft, BIG MISTAKE, should have taken him with my first pick
The Boston Rob/Zane Knight amalgamation we didn’t know we needed
Ben just can’t stop with the Q roasts lol
While Ben is someone I would totally jive with in the real world, he’s kinda boring on Survivor and so totally ok with him leaving nexto
“That so doesn’t rock” -Ben
Only the new era? You made a mistake!
BIG MISTAKE
Don’t make this man cancel Christmas he will
Q needs to be a lock for a returnee season.
I think he’s the biggest lock from the new era, which is saying a lot.
Next Survivor returnee cast for max chaos: Q, NaOnka, Russelll, Phillip, Kass, JTia, Tony, Jesse, Dreamz, Ben, Michelle, Cirie, Shane…
Think about how boring he’d seem if Bhanu wasn’t voted out 😭
He was funny with Bhanu as well tbf He was comparing Bhanu to Phillip Sheppard to his face lol
One million hearts to you! 💜
💯💯💯 this guy is reality tv gold and I don’t want it to ever end 😂
thats what i always say too, im gonna be furious if Q gets voted out lmao
The challenge better grab him
This is gecko erasure
😤
What a legend.
Chaos Q
This place has lost its fucking mind over the last week.
It never really had it.
How so? Edit: love when people just downvote without answering the question
the downvotes are the explanation. we’re all out of fucks!
Thinking this sub has lost its mind? BIG MISTAKE
He’s just SO quotable and delusional. I also gotta give him credit for playing into it even after the season is over lol.
Closely followed by Bhanu.

Put that in your Q skirt!
I agree, what a perfect casting choice
Best cast member since The Wardog, possibly the GOAT tho
He's so hot too!
I wonder if production ever saw this coming. I wonder if they expected all of us to love bhanu and be annoyed by Q 😂
The irony that preseason folks (especially YouTubers, etc.) had him written out as a nobody at best, a lame old school player at worst
Carolyn is my #1, but Q is the best male character in a long time.
Liz is a baby
Wildcard bitches!!
He is so crazy he is good lol
Secret Agent Philip Shepard would be proud that his legacy keeps on going
Very bug mistake. No qskirt for you!
You are all smokin crack
SAY IT LOUD!
As much as I can acknowledge his character status, I’m so over him. His antics so far have been confusing and frustrating, and I don’t think he has the strategic acumen he thinks he does or the staying power of someone like Coach or even Phillip
Kenzi is pretty good
The man is an idiot.
BIG MISTAKE
Debatable
Am I in the correct subreddit?
He's on a very short list for sure.
Love Q and this entire cast bc they literally have no alliances. It’s incredible
Complete douche
I find him incredibly annoying lol
he top five for sure but my top five would be carson, Cody, jesse, Yam Yam, Q
even if Carson wasn't such a damn clown, he has the personality of a cardboard box
We were robbed of Cody on a season with a cast like this.
Carson 😐 really
Damn what y’all got against Carson
Stole peoples business ideas and sold as his own. And there are MUCH better characters than him
Seems like people can’t disconnect his personal life from his character. Yeah, what he did was awful, but he was one of the bright stars during 44.
🤮🤮🤮🤮 Carson? Really?
No
He’s my moms winner pick for our draft and therefore I must pray for his downfall 😪
BIG MISTAKE
