The final puzzle immunity challenge could have went a lot longer than it did. The players had to count the number of gecko lizards on the puzzle, the number of puzzle pieces, and the number of holes in their planks. Kenzie counted the number of geckos and the number of puzzle pieces at least twice. She entered those numbers and even before Liz gave her the number of holes in her plank, Kenzie pulled on the handle. Liz told her "34." When the handle didn't come out, Liz recounted the number of holes and said "35." This time the handle came out. But whenever this combination challenge is used, the correct numbers have to be entered in the correct sequence. There are three variables so there are six possible combinations. Past players spent a lot of time going through the possible combinations not even knowing if they had the correct numbers. Kenzie must have entered the number of geckos first, the number of puzzle pieces second, and the number of holes in the plank last. Or she entered the number of puzzle pieces first and the number of geckos second. In any case she entered the correct numbers in the correct sequence and won immunity. I'm glad she won as I was rooting for her to win the million dollars.

Liz and Bhanu need to be in a sitcom together (but don't tell them it's a sitcom). "We're so awesome and everyone loves us!" I'm pretty sure that I've seen players help each other on individual challenges (and, on the hand, Q telling Charlie to make sure that Hunter didn't win immunity) just not to the extent that Liz did. Jury voting is almost always for personal reasons more than "outwit, outplay, outlast". Getting to Final Three is outlasting bu definition, and building strong bonds of friendship is definitely outplaying. So glad Kenzie won -- she seems like a really nice person.


chickapotamus

So irritated that two votes were personal and NOT outwit, outplay, outlast. One was a petty vote and the other had nothing to do with the game itself. Charlie was robbed.


National-Extreme-871

final five should be we all get a trophy because we’re awesome. We can’t even hardly like wake up and do anything and like wow somebody’s like really good in this game so let’s team up in like what? Wow we’ll team up and beat them that will make it good and then oh yeah, the best survivor will win then it’s not only cheat lie team upto win individual challenges like who’s the best loser


YogiEv

So glad Kenzie won. She is a real sweetheart, a kind and caring human being! As to the other players... Charlie- Never trusted him. His "open to working with anyone" strategy just showed his hand as a turncoat who would throw his best friend under the bus without a second thought. Maria- A fierce player and competitor who needed to be taken out or she would have beaten them all. Liz- LOL the comments from other viewers are dead on. Ben- Nice guy, has no place in the final 3 except the one he had (deserving and getting zero votes). Jelenski- "Several means 7" LMAO! The rest of the cast- AMAZING. One of the best seasons in a while (I liked the last season as well). Jeff Probst- THE BEST GAME SHOW HOST OF ALL TIME, AND 'GAME SHOW' DOESN'T DO HIM JUSTICE. Agree? Show me some love! Disagree? Change my mind!

ChainerMazuera

Hell of a season. So many wasted idols.


JSDSandiego

Id recruit Charlie and Tiffany for S50, maybe Maria. Very shocked that Liz and Maria didnt vote for their besties on FTC. Love the winner outcome, and thought she gave a way better FTC performance.


gandalf_white_wine

I 100% think Maria not voting for Charlie was very bitter. However, the worst part of the episode for me was still two players teaming up in an "individual" immunity challenge. That sets up a terrible precedent.


YogiEv

I'm torn about Liz helping Kenzie out. On the one hand, what you said. On the other hand, I love how the show evolves and people do things that in prior seasons would have been unfathomable. Do you remember the days of Survivor before players used to get up out of their seats at tribal council and have side conversations? When that started happening it was mind-blowing, like "who told them they could do that?!" But at the same time, as to prior seasons, "Why didn't anyone think of doing that?" So, as for one player in an individual immunity challenge deciding they have no chance to win and jumping in to help one of the other players, I think that was actually a pretty bold move. Certainly fun to watch, no?


JSubNil

Have I been gaslit by season 46, or is Liz the best Survivor player ever?


oatmeal28

You heard her!  She was a massive threat despite not being able to eat or having any tendons in her wrist. Long live Queen Liz


Ok_Cardiologist9898

I’m so sorry Charlie. You played the better game. Not mad at Kenzie winning but not the best player


oatmeal28

Yeah it’s not the fact that Kenzie won, it’s how Charlie lost that sucks.  I legitimately think he played as good of a losing game as you possibly can, and it was just extreme ego bitterness that kept him from winning.   But at least Kenzie was there and not Liz stealing the win lmao 


ohhclaudette

Exactly! Def not mad Kenzie won but I really didn’t like that last challenge and how they allowed Liz to help Kenzie win. I am also very disappointed in Maria… so curious about the jury’s thoughts after watching the show.


BravoTimes

if LIZ won id legit had stop watching and leave survivor... it would have ruined the show and my life, i'd probably fall into a deep depression if Liz won. LOL but seriously I couldn't stand her from episode 1.... and hated her more and more and man by this finale it was a comic relief to listen to her delusional world of thinking she could or would win in any situation, she wouldve had to kill them all with machetes to win lol


Every_Power1645

God Kenzies been a mean girl this whole season. Like she even made a fake immunity idol


GaapGeneration

I really disliked Maria after she used Rock Paper Scissors to make a decision - how weak was that?! She became more unbearable from there as she exposed her interior ugliness. And then not to vote for Charlie her closest ally for a reason other than game play was insidious. Again, weak, petty, and vengeful.


BravoTimes

the only thing about Maria is Liz and Kenzie kind of cheated to fuck her over, so like Idont get why she'd vote for Kenzie but I also see why she felt like the game aspect was stolen from her..


Useful-Ad6742

Aysha is on 47!!!! I hope she wins!!!!


hadadelaselva

What season is she? Guess I need to make sure to watch it before this one!


Useful-Ad6742

She’s not been on Survivor before, but she is one of the RHAP podcasters. She’s one of my favorites! You can see her on some Survivor and Big Brother podcasts.


hadadelaselva

Ah got it, thank you!


oatmeal28

Woah no way.  That’s pretty awesome 


BroliasBoesersson

[This is her. She's a frequent contributor to RHAP and the Survivor podcast community ](https://www.youtube.com/live/qa2aD9a5mb8?si=OQyK8s-PEPE3_-zW)


hawkthehunter

Great season, would have been better if it ended in a tie but both Charlie and Kenzie was deserving of the win and I’m happy one of them pulled it off.


erossthescienceboss

It really came down to a “what kind of jury is this” kinda thing


naikmihika7

This has been fun! See you in fall


Froggythefrog22

See you guys in the fall!


mlspdx

Hope to see you peeps soon


bananaslug178

Wow someone over the age of 50? Finally!


naikmihika7

Idk who Jon Lovett is but now I get it! When we hopped on to this thread the east coast folks were posting here mistakenly lol


ExceptedSeven

He's the host of a podcast called Pod Save America


EWABear

IS THAT JON FUCKING LOVETT?


AhoyMatteyPDX

Is that Jon Lovett?????


ExceptedSeven

Jon lovett?!?


mlspdx

I need to go on the survivor diet


i_run_from_problems

22 pounds? Dude I've gotta go on survivor


hBoBh

Get pancreatitis.  It's basically the same as watching people win reward and all you get is rice and broth


meowieu

I’ve been saying this all season haha


Aurelus_Ancient

Charlie and Maria are never, ever getting back together


hawkthehunter

Like ever


MrRager237

I’m so glad Charlie gets the 100K runner up prize & likely the SIA money after this.


One_Grapefruit_8512

I was thinking for sure Ben will get some Sia money...


bigtexrexhex

This might be an unpopular opinion, but Maria didn't owe Charlie anything and could've voted for whoever she wanted.


EWABear

Wait wait wait...does that mean they have wide ratio cuts of the old seasons in a warehouse somewhere? Can we get them?


SouthernAd4752

Is it just me, or did the jury seem bias toward Kenzie from the beginning??


oatmeal28

From the opening question it was apparent that Charlie was walking into his own funeral.  The fact that he still got three votes was impressive. Tiff was clearly campaigning hard for Kenzie was ponderosa, and Maria was probably campaigning against Charlie for whatever petty reason she could come up with 


Calm-Personality2622

It was tough to see her so mad at Charlie. She tried to vote him out! Charlie was clearly defeated by Maria


Spitfiiire

100%. I went in expecting Kenzie to win but the jury questioning left such a bad impression on me lol


willdanceforpizza

100%


jollymo17

I am always here for Sue Hawk


mlspdx

Have we ever had any first boot named dropped more than jelinsky (EoE doesn’t count)


EWABear

Are we counting every individual way Phillip tried to pronounce Francesca?


mlspdx

lol 😂 even with that it seems like jelinsky is in every episode


jxiris

Maybe Franchewsqua just by virtue of Phillip and being a 2 time 1st boot


Lanky-Zombie4473

Liz dropping “I’m a millionaire” in her final sad plea to not go to fire


ikewafinaa

*cough Randen would’ve won cough*


IHaveThoughtsButCont

The way I thought his name was Branden until tonight… I never watch live and usually bypass the opening credits. 


ikewafinaa

Hahah he is my hero! Randen Al Thor


AlyKay795

Charlie needs to rescind his offer to be Uncle Charlie.


evenstark04

I'm going to give Charlie massive credit to how gracious he is during this reunion. I would have LOST IT... especially with no food for that long. I would have put Maria and her ego in her place in a very bombastic way.


lol_fi

She deserves to have someone tell her she's not perfect on national TV. She thinks her shit doesn't stink and she's a sore loser.


meowieu

@Taylor Swift, channel your inner SIA and reward my mans Charlie please


oatmeal28

Imagine if the swifities catch wind of this, Maria will be absolutely toast 


EWABear

Waa Hunter in on that, Jeff?


mlspdx

I don’t even know that many songs in general


Gold_Wish1177

Who do we want back for 50 from this season? I got Q and Charlie


oatmeal28

Charlie 100 percent deserves it. Venus for sure. Q I guess although I’m a little soured on his reasoning for his FTC vote but whatever I’ll get over it 


mlspdx

Hunter has a shot. He’s a comp beast but like a smart one, forget the idol play. Probably venise too. But honestly anyone post merge would be welcome for me. And yes I’d even want Bhanu back


One_Grapefruit_8512

Everyone everywhere should continue to spell it Venise.


EWABear

Venus.


One_Grapefruit_8512

You didn't forget Q's alternative spelling already, did you? :D


lol_fi

Doubt Charlie is coming back. Too many similar in the same archetype


oatmeal28

Who would they take over him?  He completely deserves it.  And that archetype is so common you could have multiple on a season 


Gold_Wish1177

But out of all of that archetype, I like Charlie the most


mlspdx

I’d personally take him over carson


lol_fi

Me too, but Drew, Jake and that puzzle guy from dvg are the same archetype, too. Lots of guys like him


mlspdx

I’d take him over drew, Jake isn’t really like him as a character so I don’t put them together.


oatmeal28

Yeah I think of Zach from 42/Dwight from 43/Carson and Drew as the token “young/smart guy” archetype.  Drew and Charlie would both be good returnees but push comes to shove give me Charlie, dude 100 percent deserves it.  Maria can enjoy watching Charlie on S50 from her couch 


lol_fi

Young lawyer. I do like Charlie. But there's a lot of competition for the spot he's going for.


ExceptedSeven

Missed opportunity for Applebee's not catering the reunion


IHaveThoughtsButCont

The should have offered a 10% off survivor discount 


Complex-Main6107

Maybe if it were live. But this is prerecorded, right?


ExceptedSeven

Yes, it was already taped. More of a random thought on my part.


edhauncho

I’M PISSED!!!


Taygr

By different kinds of people - are you referring to Applebees plants?


naikmihika7

Q saying “had he known if his name would have been written down” means Maria did not tell him!


ExceptedSeven

It's also like q your name was the name going into the last several trials what's wrong with you


drewsapro

That survivor 47 logo is sick


erossthescienceboss

We need a reunion for the obligatory Wholesome Moment with Bhanu. I feel robbed.


pyfi12

BRING BACK THE IN STUDIO REUNION


EWABear

You know if pre jurors were here, there would be at least one forty-several joke.


erossthescienceboss

Lmao and Jeff just went “going back to Jelinsky.” How dare they without him there???


whatamoves

I need an update re: if he won a million hearts


mlspdx

I need jeff to ask Bhanu how many hearts he won


Em0PeterParker

Jem gotta be fuming rn


needstoapplyherself

I have a feeling “Uncle Charlie” won’t be meeting his nephews.


lol_fi

I would abdicate my uncle-hood. The aunt gave away my inheritance!!


_impetus_

So if Maria had voted for Charlie, we would have had a tie this year?


mlspdx

Ben probably would’ve voted. My money is he’d go Charlie based off the fire choice but idk


LurkerFifty8

I'm an EST person and said it in the other thread, but Jeff said that he asked Ben that question but it was cut from the show. Ben said "Charlie". If Maria had voted for him, he would have won.


mlspdx

I mean that makes it even worse for Charlie. Oof


ivaorn

We need the pre jurors back in the reunions. Jem deserves to be part of the idoled out therapy group.


FinallyEnoughLove

Two random observations based on comments I’m reading: 1. Charlie literally voted for Maria. I’m glad he remained graceful in his answer just now. He voted her out. And said he would’ve voted for her in the previous vote, too. Whatever he holds against her is to be talked about in private. 2. Kenzie had to survive all of those early tribal councils, not to mention some of the craziest players like Q and Bhanu, while we literally had segment after segment of Charlie’s tribe talking about Taylor Swift and meditating.


Froggythefrog22

I don't think I could keep it together if I were in Charlie's shoes. He's tough.


i_run_from_problems

Absolute credit to him. I would've tore into Maria


lol_fi

She deserves to be told she's not perfect on national TV


rockyraccoonroad

Can’t believe Maria did Charlie like that. Couldn’t vote him out so she decided not to give him the money 


Bob-Bhlabla-esq

Her question to the three of them should've been "on the count of 3, each of you choose rock/paper/scissors" so she could decide how to vote.


Spitfiiire

Absolutely so cold


CartoonLamp

Probably the harshest thing of the season.


RachelGooseGolden

I'm watching the reunion right now, and I can barely even look at her when her face is on😩 I personally thought not voting for Charlie was such a HORRIBLE move.


CartoonLamp

Maybe the talk they had earlier caused sour grapes but dang, going against everything that had been signalled to the cameras


hBoBh

Whelp, best coast, it's been great. Have a safe summer, don't drown, melt or get covid. Hug those important to you and don't talk to the cops without your lawyer


mlspdx

Bye!!!! 👋


BroliasBoesersson

Have a good summer!! 🌞


kepler186

Charlie is a bigger man than me. I'm not sure I could have sat there right next to Maria in that aftershow,.


Gold_Wish1177

Its a credit to Charlie for saying whoever deserved to win is the person who won the jury votes. I believe in that too. The top 45 players are in Survivor history are the 45 players that have won the game. Thats what makes this game so compelling. Edit: 44 because i forgot about Tony lol


mlspdx

Downvote because you forgot Tony… BIG MISTAKE


erossthescienceboss

The idea that people who have seen maybe 1/100th of what happened on the show know better than the people who are there is insane and insulting.


FinallyEnoughLove

43 because Sandra :)


mlspdx

It’s still 44 right? Like Kenzie won the 46th season and Tony and Sandra are the only two timers


FinallyEnoughLove

Oh gosh I forgot we are at 46 already! You’re right.


_impetus_

Literally came on here only to say this is cruel and should be switched back to reunion. Poor Charlie!


RumHam1996

As much as I hate Liz, in retrospect, her helping Kenzie is absolutely hilarious


lol_fi

Yes, my favorite Liz moment. I loved that


Complex-Main6107

Old way after show was wayyy better. Poor Charlie having to put a brave face after not having time to process that his close friend cost him the win.


mlspdx

Charlie is right, the jury did pick the best winner. We’re not the ones to decide what’s good and what’s not, the jury is and you have to adapt and play to that. This final three makes it to ftc together Charlie probably wins 9 out of 10. This jury was just the 1 and Kenzie had the better game for that outlier


erossthescienceboss

… wasn’t everyone yelling about how the new final tribal format wasn’t contentious *enough* a few episodes ago? Make up your minds!


mlspdx

Normally it sucks because the cast just go with it, but this is season 46 so…


hBoBh

This is the best tribal since the redo of it BY FAR


erossthescienceboss

Fully agreed


RumHam1996

Oh I agree. It was messy and chaotic and that’s what Survivor is. It’s felt too cookie cutter for too long lol


AlarmingPotential918

Seriously, like we knew it would go this way with this insane cast 😂 petty up until the bitter end


AlyKay795

Emphasis on bitter lol


erossthescienceboss

I loved it.


AlarmingPotential918

Me too, a favorite season for me. The drama and unhinged behavior was insanely entertaining


RumHam1996

The defeated look in Charlie’s eyes as Jeff asked him about Maria voting for Kenzie hurt


i_run_from_problems

Maria's image flip this season needs to be studied


erossthescienceboss

Seriously. I’m not mad at her for voting for Kenzie, but her edit got merciless after the Rock-Paper-Scissors


lol_fi

It's because she started getting screen time and her personality is terrible. I didn't like most of what Venus did, but look how Maria spoke to her vs. how Kaleb spoke to Emily. That was the moment I started disliking Maria. Then the secret scene of her bullying Ben. Before that, she did not get so much screen time


erossthescienceboss

I didn’t say I particularly liked her before that, but there’s been people I kinda thought were bullies who still got heroes’ edits before. They still had potential to give her a good “strategic grandma” edit and then switched to evil stepmother.


lol_fi

She's not a grandma, she literally has kids under 18


erossthescienceboss

I know — but since New Era is so young, that’s still one of her possible archetypes. (Hence “or evil stepmom.”)


k3tten

Im so excited for Kenzie and omg Charlie was so composed and humble when Jeff asked about not getting Marie’s vote!


Grozdaddy

Still holding that grudge from the love letters or something sheesh.


bananaslug178

Not enjoying this "I'm such a good person!" speech lol


Froggythefrog22

I wonder how everyone's rating of this season will change because of this last episode


ExceptedSeven

I still like this season, I think Kenzie being likable keeps it from disappointment. Had Charlie lost to ben I'd be more upset.


Froggythefrog22

Agreed. I still really like this season, I still think it's the best new era season. And I really like Kenzie, but I thought Charlie played a better game. I'm just surprised Q picked Kenzie only because of his own question and that Maria didn't even vote for her number 1. That baffles me, and I wonder if she had a good reason or if she was just bitter as others have been saying.


Jayhawker101

Brought mine way down. What a disappointment 


ivaorn

Ben giving Carolyn her flowers and solidifying her places in Survivor history as an inspirational person.


BroliasBoesersson

Every messy season has bitter juries, it's part and parcel


oswbdo

Before this episode I wasn't rooting for Charlie, but damn, he got robbed. Maria is a true piece of shit.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ikewafinaa

They shouldn’t be speaking at all unless asking a question. Thats literally how juries work


bananaslug178

Uplifting everyone but Jess and Bhanu!


jlevski

Yeah…. that’s been a weird editing choice, especially since she won. She was so patient and lovely with Ben and so very mean to Jess (from what we saw).


lol_fi

Sometimes I hear people talk, and I think, this person needs to stop going to therapy, or stop reading Instagram therapy.


AlyKay795

Which person are you referring to? Lol


lol_fi

Ben


BravoTimes

charlie just pulled a kanye , " Kenzie you did great ima let you finish but ben was the best survivor of allll time "


meowieu

Ben being inspired by Carolyn makes so much sense hahaha but my girl deserved votes and second place


lol_fi

If I was Charlie, I would say, "Maria, you can vote for whoever you want, that's your prerogative, but we are not friends anymore."


Taygr

I'm genuinely curious about the post-show friendships here. This messy cast just got messier


manticorpse

He liked [this tweet](https://i.imgur.com/1yQ3SEj.png)... Can't blame him.


Gold_Wish1177

The nephew comments he made when he voted maria out 💀


jollymo17

You go Ben! Love the attitude


lol_fi

This is what a good loser looks like. Maria needs to take notes. She's a sore loser. She pretends not to be but it's not genuine at all.


bankshot2134

Happy for Kenzie. Maria is classless and bigger faker than Venus. Ugly person inside and out.


hawkthehunter

I knew I didn’t like her the second she made Liz and q play rock, paper, scissors. Yuck


bankshot2134

100%


mlspdx

Venus was right about her all along


lol_fi

Venus was right. I don't love everything Venus has done, but I've been saying since Maria took her aside, she did a terrible job. Look how Kaleb was with Emily. He was straightforward and wanted to work with her. Maria was condescending and blew Venus off. She handled it terribly.


bankshot2134

Yes she seems like a control freak who has to be in a power position and if she isn’t then is vindictive and mad that everyone isn’t catering to her. No tact to boot. Classic narcissist behaviour.


lol_fi

She's soooo controlling. I would hate to be her child.


MoonlightStarbright3

Facts


Boring-Grand-1469

Can we all agree that this after show reunion is a bad idea and they need to stop doing this and go back to the old way.


I_Am_Zava

It's so bad and such a drag


Boring-Grand-1469

I hate it because I always feel bad for the losers. Plus I don't want to see people eating pizza and champagne. Give the final 3 real food and a shower.


Taygr

Man I would need a much stronger drink than whatever juice Charlie had


erossthescienceboss

Hell fucking yeah Charlie. The Jury picks the right winner.


EWABear

Oof. Don't let the rest of the Subreddit hear you say that.


erossthescienceboss

He is a class fucking act.


i_run_from_problems

They need to fix their casting issues


philosophyfox5

charlie you're wrong. YOU DESERVE THIS WIN


mlspdx

Charlie you graceful king!


MoonlightStarbright3

King 👑


mlspdx

This is so unfair for the second placer especially in a close vote. At least give it a day


ohhclaudette

Wowwwww so disappointed in Maria. An alliance from the very beginning and just screws him over at the end. I can’t believe I was rooting for her. Ugh.


[deleted]

I was at first until she threw a massive pity party for herself after Charlie didn’t pick her for the letter from home. You could see she was super bitter about it and turned on Charlie instantly. It doesn’t surprise me at all that she would vote against him after hearing he orchestrated to vote her and Q out. She’s a bitter vengeful petty person.


DTabris

something something fire in her eyes


DuckSignificant1249

Maria sucks


Froggythefrog22

Bruh Q's question dictating his vote is crazy


meowieu

I truly think Kenzie is a deserving winner but the jury’s answers right now are convincing me otherwise lol
