I agree with the idea that Genevieve doesn’t have many allies right now. She’s controlling everything, but these aren’t her close allies. If she somehow can stay in the middle and run the game to the end, she should win in a sweep.

Rachel and Sam are the other two I think are in a good spot. Kyle got lucky last night, but you figure he will have to basically win his way to the end at some point and I don’t think he’s adding much other than the comp wins. Gabe looked completely clueless today. Almost like he could’ve been completely wrong on the direction of the vote and assuring everyone of something that might’ve barely went his way because they couldn’t convince Andy of voting their way.

I continue to dislike Andy. Weird guy. Find him arrogant for someone who has really done nothing in the game. Not a Sue fan either.

Winner pick - Rachel. That underdog edit is looking strong. Everybody talks about how big of a threat she is, yet nobody ever votes for her. They did the same thing with Kenzie, Dee and Erika.
I hope she wins just because of the playing her shot in the dark to gauge the reactions if she needs to play her idol. It took 7 seasons for someone to think of that move; that was so smooth and smart. I am definitely rooting for her and Sam.

Can't stand Andy, the way he was lording over Rachel when she was on the wrong side of the vote was some real crazy ex vibes. He thinks he's a way better player than he is, turning on Sam who was the only person who kept you alive was a real dick move, and way too premature. I am so actively rooting against him , and idgaf about anyone else tbh, they are all just kind of there. Genevive has moments of playing brilliantly ,and also really petty, but she has made tribal swing her way more than anyone so far, so she deserves some flowers there; I just think she is gonna make some emotional faux pas at some point.

Some thoughts:

-Genevieve's move on Sol has unsurprisingly backfired. She has no real allies and a huge target on her back. Ironically, having no allies is probably what saved her tonight though. She's more interesting than Gabe, so I'm glad he's gone.

-Agreed with everyone who finds Andy annoying. I feel like the show wants us to root for him, but I just can't like the guy.

-That montage of Sue hating Kyle was wild. She may actually kill him lol.

-Someone on Reddit compared Caroline to a robot and yeah - I can see it.

-The jury stole the show again 🔥

-Rooting for Rachel. I like Sam and Kyle as well. Kyle's a goner as soon as he loses immunity though. I'm still confused as to how nobody voted for him last week when they had a chance.

Jeff is truly annoying. Bro feels the need to hype up every aspect of Survivor. I would not be surprised if the food rewards is what production and staff eat for lunch; leaving leftovers for the "sanctuary."

yea, Genevieve went from looking like she was the best player to looking like an idiot in just a couple episodes.


At this point I think I'm also rooting for Rachel. I didn't like her early on because she was all about the girls alliance nonsense, but she's grown out of that and is really playing a good game.


Sam is a moron and Kyle thinks Survivor is just competitions. Not rooting for either of them.

*uncontrollable screaming*

Yeah. If Gen doesn't win I'm gonna be shocked. Gabe was never not losing the target off his back. You take the hard vote first


No. You will balancing balls on a plate or keeping the ball spinning through a hoop while balancing and love it


I don't see Gen as a winner anymore. I think Rachel is getting a much better edit after the last couple episodes.

You may be right. I don't see any dudes winning this. This has been all about the ladies as soon as it was time to finish the story of how Gabe found his idol

Winners from the "new era" lack charm and charisma. Genevieve, should she win, would fit this. Too many self-entitled shitheads who view others as nothing but numbers. "Game theory" dorks.

Yeah the strategy to win in the new era is dont do much, sit back and blend in, and then right at the end try and make a move to say youve done something. Be friendly with the people that are early on the jury so they can put in a good word for you.

Its really lame. My hypothesis for this is that they only cast "game bots" and "super fans" nowadays. So everyone knows what to look out for. Makes for really boring gameplay overall and all the people playing a good game just get taken out before the end.

Like if Rachel ends up winning, wtf has she done so far? She was just a number in the pre-merge, wasnt a prominent figure in her tribe at all. She literally got saved by someone else at a tribal she was going to go home in. Hasnt won anything yet. She also has someone that she was close to being the first jury member, so they can then hype her up to anyone that gets voted out and with such the short run time in the game, theres not much time to think and ponder.

4 players left I think can win:

1. Genevieve-Last episode was her worst yet, but she’s still played the best game so far. Doesn’t really have any allies left at this point though, so it might be all downhill from here.

2. Sam-He’s also lost his positioning after Sierra was taken out. I felt like that was pretty unlucky. I still don’t see how it made sense for Andy. He’s done well since to make himself the main target.

3. Rachel-She was playing an okay social game for most of the season, and the last few has taken on a bigger role in the game. Not playing a great game, but she’s low on the radar, likable, and starting to build up her resume.

4. Kyle-If he wins his way to the end (meaning he’d have the immunity challenges record), I think he’d win. He’s likable too, and hasn’t pissed many people off.

I agree with most of this, but I'd add that Andy also has a chance to win as well.

He was the other one I considered, so I'm not saying you're completely wrong, but it seems like he's getting an edit of a player who is indecisive and while he has chances to make moves never actually makes them and just boasts about how much power he has (that he never ends up using). It seems like trying to distinctly paint him with the edit as a guy who had a chance to be a winner but blew his chances by talking and not acting. I could be wrong.

What are some of your favourite seasons? I just finished watching season 13 for the umpteenth time. It was a great season. We are now watching season 7. This show used to be so good, bros.

Andy has made a huge 180 in my book. Definitely was a bit of a mess early on, but he's turned it around and is being a bit of a game changer right now. He's definitely a lot more like-able now too. I could see him having a chance at the win if he can play the middle well enough without pissing people off too much.



The 1st season was my favourite season, I haven't rewatched any seasons, where do you stream previous seasons?
Every episode is also available on Paramount+ if you'd prefer to go the legit way, that's what we use to re-watch old seasons of Survivor and Big Brother (and Ink Master for right now).

Theres no legitimate way to watch seasons 1-32 in Canada unless you buy each individual season on apple or something. Its really stupid.
Ah, you guys can't get American Paramount+ up there? That's kinda wild. I guess one could VPN, but I really don't know how that works if watching through a smart TV.

Another reason I wish I was living down south. We only have access to a handful of seasons. VPNs do not work.

That's a bummer man. I know Netflix sometimes has some older seasons from time to time, but I'm not sure how that would work in Canada either. I'm sure there's similar limitations.

I watched Kaoh Rang, Tocantins, and Pearl Islands on Netflix a while ago.
