This may be an unpopular opinion, but I think this has been my favorite new era season of Survivor. That was definitely one of my favorite F3 combos of all-time.

Loved Ben's two tightest friendships joining him.

I think Kenzie or Charlie would have been a great winner, but Kenzie winning just felt *right.* I also think her answer about the money just so perfectly and genuinely lined up with how she played the game.

I'm bummed for Charlie and oddly very put off by Maria not voting for him.

Also I absolutely loved the Yanu three having one last Kenzie and Tiff vs. Q argument in the middle of FTC. Classic.


Q felt like an old school Survivor character and he was great TV.

I left this season having even more question marks about Liz than I did at the beginning.

I kinda wish Liz would've made F3 just to see her humbled when she gets 0 votes

I know I had the same thought. I wanted her to have her day in court (but not in the way people normally say that lol). She's more than a little unhinged.

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...

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

This is my exact order too.

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.

I actually gasped when I saw

This is by far my favorite cast of the new era, especially the merge group

I genuinely think Q was the best casting decision in a decade.

I really didn't think Kenzie was gonna win when Ben sent her to make fire but I am so happy that she did. Maria not voting Charlie is crazy and the biggest surprise this season. Liz is the funniest person in forever... like she's so weird and unintentional.

I had a gut feeling Kenzie would win simply because of how pathetic Liz is. Liz gets so easily frustrated and doesn’t bet on herself at all, and Kenzie constantly shows perserverence.

Ooooof that is rough. I really cannot blame Charlie for not being able to get passed that, though.


Also I just had the realization that they probably don't do the reunions like they used to because CBS doesn't want to pay everyone to attend. P cheap and really makes all of the pre-jurors miss out, IMO.

I was just thinking about this because wouldn't Charlie have gotten like $100k?

(also I know that was prob deeply obvious to everyone but me)
