Different strokes I guess, but RHAP is amazing. Rob C is amazing. And CBS limits the amount of time he has to interview voted out contestants to something like 5 minutes.

Oh well that explains that lol.
To be fair I might be biased I've always kind of found Rob to be annoying. I like his co-hosts though.
Pretty meh episode. I was on the Maria train but between the debacle at the challenge and then targeting Venus who wasn't a threat to anyone in any way, she has fallen off for me. Id be good with a Charlie or Q win at this point.
That's a long fucking message. This season is so messy lol, I love it. These people hate each other so much
Natalie White will forever be the winner that contributed least in their season, she really did win just by sheer nature of being hated the least. Liz is a veritable Boston Rob compared to Natalie White.
I dunno. I don't think Liz has accomplished anything of note and she's insufferable.
I love this season lmao, it's way better than most of the recent ones.
Charlie's in a good spot, he needs to target Maria next and try to bring Q and Ben to final 3. Would be an easy 8-0 I think unless Q somehow succeeds by positioning himself as the "you all hated me but could never get me, and that's not easy to do" person (which I would laugh my ass off if Q won somehow, dude is very entertaining)

Survivor lives if Liz wins
Always fun to see every antagonist neutralize each other, the best Survivor seasons have those endings

Just finished another rewatch of Game Changers, which is a pretty under appreciated season imo. Good cast, good gameplay, lots of iconic moments (the Zeke/Varner thing, Cirie's exit was incredible). After Heroes vs Villains and then Game Changers, it's essentially hard evidence that JT is a terrible player and got remarkably lucky to play with the people he did to let him win. Debbie is also incredible TV, they should keep bringing her back as often as she'll participate. I never get tired of hearing about all the jobs she's had and things she knows more about than you do.
I personally don't find the drama entertaining. The immaturity being demonstrated between players just feels like it has escalated unnecessarily, and I don't feel like executing the brain function to discern who is at fault and who is victimized. I appreciate Soda's well worded clarification, but also don't have time think about Venus as a reality TV figure. This season has been fun in the sense of bad idol gameplay, but the personalities (other than Ben and Charlie, honestly, maybe Kenzie) have given me the ick most of the season.
I think we all agree that exciting and strategic gameplay would be the preferable narrative for this (and every) season, but we clearly aren't getting that so at least the drama is here to keep things interesting lol
It does seem some of the people have taken things outside of the game that most players leave at the door when they hit Ponderosa.
Whether that be Venus, Soda or Tevin or all of the above /shrug

Kinda wild that at the end of the day it's not the tribe that featured the likes of Q, Bhanu, Jelinsky and "too sweet for Survivor" Jess that winds up the most toxic and dysfunctional of the season.

Australian Survivor Planning 'Australia vs USA' Season With Survivor Legends
They NEED Tina and Colby on the season. The final two from Australian Outback on an actual Australian season lol.

How it began? No good reason was ever provided on the show. I remarked earlier that Venus reminded me of Jake from last season, in that she was trying to play the game and for no discernible reason, nobody was interested in working with her. I know other players describe her as 'whiny' but when she was shown complaining, she generally looked to have valid cause.

This would definitely be exciting. Hopefully George returns to dominate.
I have dreamed about this kind of crossover... but i just worry they will struggle to get some of the big names from either version. Like Hayley, Shonee, Kirby, Moana, Brooke, Feras, Simon, George, Harry, Lukey, Golden God are all must cast Aussie survivors for a cross over season but all have either played multiple times already, played multiple times together, played recently, or all the above that it seems like it may be difficult to cast the dream lineup.
Likewise, for a show that has a smaller budget I do wonder if they could get enough big US names to participate to sell the theme of "Legends" as im not sure you get some past US winners or big names without a paycheck to bring them on.
Hopefully it works out as it would have the makings of an all time season.
I hope Kenzie pours it on in the last couple episodes and somehow wins, which shocks me to say because I HATED her preshow interview where she talked about going to borrow a wrench and manipulating the man to fix it for her. But I like her on the show, just don't think she's done enough lately to stand out, unless her final 3 is with Ben and Liz lol
I don't think they will manage to use any winners; the idea is probably to use big name but runner-up types for a second chance, but similarly bring back US survivors that are no longer in the CBS casting plans. Tons of folks slowly realizing they won't be in the Survivor 50 casting plans that could be up for it, and on the AUS side there are folks like (some) of the ones you mentioned who haven't won but are thirsty to do so, Boston Rob style. Anybody who has any hopes of S50 is probably afraid of the wrath of Jeff/CBS otherwise.
They've absolutely done so in the past though. Queen, Hantz, etc. There are definitely thirsty players out there even for half the money, I just hope they don't aim at the retiree well (AKA The Traitors). But AUS Survivor definitely aims for prestige when they can...conversely it still opens the door for US Survivor if they ever get ambitious to really do a Survivor All-Stars and get an even higher tier of talent from both sides of the ocean.

Kenzie changed her twitter handle to Kensey Petty and for some reason I find that funnier than I should.
At this point I kind of want Season 50 to feature a bunch of S46 returnees and for them to collectively pick fights with the rest of the returnees in that season as well.
So apparently that random Kenzie vote from Ben in the last episode was a brain fart mistake LOL these players are a hot mess.
You sure about that? USD 1M, after tax, is almost exactly twice AUD 500k, tax-free.
I'm not including taxes as it depends on where you live. US folks would need to pay income tax on AU winnings. $500 AU is $330 US.
I'd feel the same but he said it in a confessional, so now I kinda believe it lol.
It's mean to say, but him being a hot mess seems more believable to me than him making any sort of strategic move on his own without being directed by his alliance
I'm sorry I don't know that you can be a "hot mess" to the point that you right an entire different persons name down.
Don't buy it at all, he fucked up and is trying to make excuses and from the clip Kenzie doesn't buy it either.
If Ben's lying, he's lying to production, and we have to figure out why he's paranoid of them
He'd be lying to viewers, also knowing Kenzie would see it most likely.
There's nothing new about Reality TV contestant BS-ing in confessionals.
So I'm gonna say it's to early to tell without seeing the full episode but the scenarios I can think of in which Ben is lying in a confessional are:
1. He and his alliance planned a split vote but the show hid those conversations while showing Ben lying in a confessional (Unlikely production would do that IMO)
2. Ben went rogue without telling anyone, and lied about the vote in a confessional (More likely, but A) I don't think it makes strategic sense to do that without his alliance knowing, and B) I don't think he has been shown to have much acumen for the game or making moves or doing anything besides following others)
3. His alliance planned a split vote behind production's back, and the plan was for him to always lie about it afterwards (Seems even more unlikely to me)
4. He's tired, starved, and phoning it in, and somehow wrote down the wrong name. Maybe there were even talks of splitting the vote but ultimately his alliance agreed not to but he forgot or got confused. (Also seems far fetched tbh)
For me it's either 2 or 4, and I just lean slightly towards 4 because to me Ben seems checked out
I wish they showed us what he said during the voting confessional
Tangentially related but Dead Meat, a popular horror Youtube channel, did another of their Horror Survivor episodes, where they use the rules of Survivor to see how a cast of horror movie characters would do. They're big Survivor fans, so I just thought it was fun that they're enjoying this season so much. Also has a fun cameo to intro the video.
