Holy shit Jon Lovett is on S47. He was one of Obama's speech writers and co-founded Crooked Media. He's hilarious.

Poor Charlie! I think I was initially put off by his Swiftie gimmick but he really grew on me as the season went on, and he DEF played the best game out of that F3. That said Kenzie is still a solid winner and I'm not surprised she took it Really liked Charlie's concession speech, literally pulled an anti-Hantz lol

Charlie is a babygirl through and through. Protect.

Also I hope I never have to see Dee in another commercial again. That was...painful.

Y'all...

that was easily the best of “new era”. I think without themes or locations the rest of the seasons blur together for me

Spoiling new era winners:

Spoiler	+
Favorite to least favorite, a mix of personal and gameplay: 1. Kenzie 2. YamYam 3. Dee 4. Maryanne 5. Erika 6. Gabler

5 and 6 of your list curtis are definitely bottom 5 all time winners for me. Think I agree mostly

I'm really glad the F3 had Charlie and Kenzie both in it, that was my biggest worry about this F5 was that it was going to be one of Maria/Charlie/Kenzie with Ben & Liz at the end. Liz going out at F4 was a nice little surprise too. Knew Ben had no chance but him getting that final immunity win made me so happy for him and just being able to sit at the end had to feel amazing. Glad the jury really didn't tear him apart either.

I was kind of hoping for a tie with Ben being the one to break it, that would have been perfect story telling with the angle of this entire finale.

Kenzie's a great winner. Dare I say one of the most dominate social winners we've ever had? Really glad she won out of the five.

Didn't watch the reunion though (: Still very much miss the live shows but I'm preaching to the choir there so whatever.

This is my exact order too.

it was mostly useless but the early parts with Charlie clearly still reeling from his loss was worth watching

Maria not voting for Charlie lmao, that’s cold af

That's why I hate her. I knew she was going to do this!

JK lol

I wanted Charlie to win (and I think he deserved it) but Kenzie was my 2nd choice and she really grew on me post merge.

I also kinda thought she'd win because Curtis is very lucky. :P

Great F3 though. Lol @ Liz's delusions of grandeur and Ben considering her the biggest threat.

I'm reeling for Charlie lol. Last episode Maria wanted Charlie out as the biggest threat left in the game, he's her number one ally, someone she said she'd vote for over anyone at the end. Someone she's played the ENTIRE game with. Has said everyone would lose to him at the end. And he gets there without needing to make fire.

Then she doesn't make the end, and spitefully votes for Kenzie to win. That's what she did. Her excuse for the vote at the reunion was nonsense. And Q saying he based his vote on who needed the money more question he asked kills me.

I love Kenzie and don't think she's a terrible winner. I'd love to see her again. But it should've at least tied if not for whatever resentment Maria was holding onto. Charlie outlasting her? Wanting to get back at him for not taking her on the family letter reward (after telling us they agreed to never take each other.)

Idk I can understand her fall from grace in the edit now though lol. Her explanation at the reunion is one of the most brutal things of the season.

And that's my overinvested take after abandoning the show for the last 4 seasons. lol rant over! Jon Lovett being on Survivor will reel me right back in next season. How in the world lol would never have expected that.
