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 also hate the vote reveal/reunion on the island. I'd rather make them wait a few months til they're all done-up and non-emaciated and back in NY or LA.

https://x.com/DaltonRoss/status/1793710416163746179 Maria said she regretted voting for Charlie a few weeks after the fact, then changed her mind again, and later came up with even new reasons why she voted the way she did. Sounds like something was said to her at Ponderosa that got her off of voting for the person who she played the game with from day 1, a game that was basically her game, only much better. Ben also said he thought Charlie was going to win it all and took him to the end anyway. So that probably means he woulda broke the tie for Charlie to win had Maria voted for her bff out there?

I saw the interview where Charlie said Maria told him she regretted her vote a couple weeks after the vote but then, post finale she told him she was going to give a new reason for voting Kenzie in her exit press. Like she just doubled down. Cannot respect her and never liked her. :P

Ben did confirm he would've voted Charlie in a tb (I think he said this in his Us interview?)

idk, I agree with Charlie that whoever gets the jury votes is the "deserving winner" cause that's how it works but it was just Maria being bitter imo. Charlie also had a cute tik tok video where he sang about her betrayal. I love Charlie and he's very eloquent but he makes it clear he can't really trust Maria since she has gone back and forth on whether she felt she should've voted for him or not. If you can't trust someone, how can you be their friend??

I did think the edit went out of its way to add in some really cute Kenzie comments in different spots (spicy, etc) to help paint her in a positive light as the winner. And, in Venus's exit interview, she said Charlie made a mistake in not trusting her so I read into that thinking he may lose.

That's all of my sleuthing.

As far as next season, I didn't really pay attention to the promo on finale night, but saw the cast later and I'm excited that Aysha (pronounced Asia) is playing. She's a regular podcast correspondent on RHAP and she's a really sweet person from what I can tell. I hope she does well. Also LOVE Jon Lovett and I'm excited to tell my Swiftie friend that he's going to be on because she's the one who introduced me to his podcast: Pod Save America. I need to start watching that more again.
