I love Venus’ face at Liz saying she would have beaten everyone. 😂 😂 😂

[@rasistefanos1]

Hardly ever mentioned amidst all of this other controversy. But that moment was a final cringe from good ole Liz.

[@gaileverett]

If you mean "despise," then I'm right there with you.

[@monovision566]

People keep saying Kenzie won for her social game. Charlie's social game was arguably better. He was in the dominant alliance and won multiple challenges while keeping a low threat level the whole time BECAUSE OF HIS SOCIAL GAME. People including Kenzie confided in him constantly. Meanwhile, Kenzie was not perceived as a threat post-merge, but that was because she wasn't in control and often lacked agency. It's a really weird final vote to me. There's plenty he did better than her in this case, and nothing she's getting praised for that he didn't do just as well.

[@thecamishere4344]

EXACTLY! Had Kenzie been up against any F3 barring Charlie, I have no problem with her win. It's here I do

[@SweetRyGuy]

As someone who was actively rooting for Kenzie since the beginning, this just felt wrong on so many levels. I went into this episode fully expecting her to win, but the way it happened, the terrible entitlement of the jury, the questions, the reasons who voted for who (or lack thereof) felt awful. Charlie probably deserved at least 4 votes, and I really thought he did enough to get them. He certainly showed some character at the end with how Maria did him dirty

[@Kyriefraudloser]

Very well said. Entitlement captures it perfectly. You articulated your argument very well and I think you should elaborate more so the bricks who think “there is never the wrong winner, the show is designed to always pick the right winner” can learn something from you ! :)

Do y’all not watch exit interviews

[@rasistefanos1]

That statement was not only delusional (and laughable), but also worthy of one last cringe reaction.

[@thebumpercar1344]

The fact that after an entire season where the cast was talking about their "resume" and how necessary it is to have a "big move" and "take out your number one" they don't vote for the finalist who had the resume, who made the big move, and took out his number one. Bitterest jury ever?

[@RM-ru3fk]

Everyone was “best friends” and “vibes” and “I love you so much” and they all fucking hated each other

[@StarLord1994]

Best player didnt win. I feel like it shouldn’t even be controversial bc Q and maria gave non game reasons to vote kenzie, which is their right and fine, but implied they didnt necessarily give it to her for playing the best game. No hate to Kenzie. She still played great. But what maria did was messed up. She literally spited charlie bc she lost. It’s so obvious it’s painful. And to know ben was gonna vote charlie. Just not right. If charlie had wronged her in an understandable way it would be one thing. But he did nothing wrong. She just didnt want him to win and get credit for what her ego makes her think is her game.

[@cfssuperhero]

Anyone who says Kenzie didnt deserve to win, doesnt understand the point of the game and what makes it unique. The best player doesn't always win, but the best of the final 3 always does. Because jury management is part of what makes Survivor so unique. The jury will always pick the right winner of the final 3 by very definition of how the game works. You have to vote people out, then turn around and ask them to reward you with a million dollars. The player that achieves this, is the rightful winner. That's the entire point of the show. You can be a great logical strategist, but if you cant get the votes in the end, it means you did something wrong.

[@StarLord1994]

@@cfssuperhero yeah I never said she didn’t deserve it.

[@Kyriefraudloser]

@@cfssuperheroyou’re up and down this comment section defending this argument you’ll die by, yet continue to ignore the reality. Maria is bitter.

[@Kyriefraudloser]

@@StarLord1994you articulated your point very well. This idiot who responded to you lives in delusion. To believe survivor isn’t flawed is the most absurd thing I’ve ever heard. Everyone and everything has flaws, perfection is impossible. Maria without a doubt is a bitter, selfish person, who couldn’t live with Charlie winning because he managed to get her out in a way that didn’t make Charlie look like a back stabber. Her ego got in the way. Her kids deserve better.

[@kiajayy]

I like Kenzie but I wanted Charlie to win

[@mmmallory33]

Maria choosing Q over Charlie was her downfall. The crying over not getting picked for reward, the rock paper scissors… turned a great player into one who made their own bed and eviction. And I think she was so mad at Charlie, ugh, a bad look.

[@EatersFan]

Maria made a huge strategic error by not telling Q to use the idol. Even if he didn’t need to use it (he did need to use it). would have got Charlie out and he would have voted for her. Charlie out and Maria would still have loyal Q on her side. She blew it.

[@taneishac4116]

The jury voted for who needed to money over who deserved the win! Charlie deserved the win! I was annoyed that they allowed Liz to help Kenzie on the individual challenge! Both should have been disqualified, it was an individual challenge!!

[@rlm41]

Yep, should have gone to Ben based on who needed the money most.

[@lauraann7816]

taneishac4116 I read your comment after I wrote mine. I am STILL annoyed they allowed what I call cheating. It's an individual challenge. I also stated Kenzie and Liz should have been disqualified. It was nowhere near fair and should not have been allowed. Then Maria gives her vote to the person who got her out by CHEATING who was too dumb to even figure out the instructions herself instead of her friend who she promised her Jury vote to right after she was voted out. I was disappointed by the finale after a season I actually enjoyed. I loved when Q had them play Hide and Seek 😊

[@cfssuperhero]

Tell me you've never watched the show without telling me. I can think of at least half a dozen times where someone has helped another person or team to win a challenge in past seasons. This has ALWAYS been within the rules. 🥱

[@Snowboarder16]

So agree that was so wrong. I dispose Liz

[@lucy_76]

Maria was so hurt, not just by how unfair it was that it went 2 against one in the individual immunity, but also Charlie didn't even have her back at the vote, in my opinion, had he written anyone else's name down instead of hers, he would have gotten her vote. He was really hurt, but, then again, so was she, and in that situation, Kenzie outplayed them both because it doesn't seem that anyone at all turned on her the entire game, even for a moment. Liz, classless till the bitter end, stepping on Kenzie's win moment talking "booo booo, throws tomato, throws tomato" and her garbage comment at the end, I could see it annoy Jeff because he did not give her a nice parting nod or statement, instead, he took his time to turn his back on her for a long period returning the snuffer to its spot. There needs to be a new rule that players cannot help other players physically in a challenge and gang up on another one, that's wholly unfair. Now we wait till the fall for the next season, see you all back here then.

[@patriotiac572]

Excellent comment! You said what I'm thinking. I agree! Thank you for saving me all that typing, lol. See you in the fall for Survivor, but if you watch Big Brother I highly recommend you stick around for Kay La Fro's awesome BB updates. She's great!

[@ronkaw]

Players helping others is a key part of what Survivor is about. This may the 1st time its so visible physical.

[@KayLaFro]

Ooof yeah- apparently Charlie and Maria are still NOT on good terms since the season ended.. I'm wondering if it was Maria's vote that put the nail in the coffin or something else..

[@lucy_76]

@@KayLaFro yeah, I think it was mutual. I think the hurt went both ways and it's unfortunate that it has bled into life after the show.

[@ronkaw]

@@KayLaFro Yes I would say Maria's $900,000 vote switch would do it. Esp when the $$$$$$ ended up in the hands of the one who nailed Maria's coffin shut!

[@adonm6998]

So much chaos BUT i think Maria is so fake. She never shows how she feels even at the finale when everyone wants to know how she truly feels about Charlie she dodges the question

[@95KyBoo]

Liz was super delusional!

[@jessicapeyton5444]

I heard Liz tweeted that she's not a millionaire... why didn't she get to say that in the after party? It would have explained some of her delusion

[@jonahwomack452]

Kenzie was not the BEST player. Her only attempt at a strategic move post-merge was to blind-side Tiff, which she ironically got blind-sided and left out on the Tiff vote. Charlie and Maria were seemingly always in control of the strategy and ultimately controlled tribal decisions. Kenzie is a likeable person and made friends during the season, but her gameplay was embarrassingly bad. Her best move in hindsight was to become besties with Tiff, b/c Tiff definitely bullied the final tribal discussion.

[@californiadreaming567]

Charley did not plan on a bitter angry jealous Maria. She wanted the power move so she did him in. But that’s part of the game. Out played by rival that betrayed him. Told him she would vote for him but held a grudge.

[@NotInMYName_AntiZionistJew]

Part of being the best player was selling your game to the jury and Kenzie did it better.

[@veronivadelgado7131]

She's manipulative

[@SweetRyGuy]

As someone who was actively rooting for Kenzie, I’d argue that she didn’t. I’ve thought she was the winner since about episode 3, but I thought she’d be in FTC without Charlie. As soon as they were done speaking to the jury I thought Charlie would comfortably get 4 votes and Ben IF it tied. I think he knew he only needed 3 votes because he assumed he had Maria. It’s weird to have been rooting for Kenzie and for her to win and it still just feel wrong. Huge injustice.

[@larrylutsky181]

Survivor isn't really about surviving (watch Naked and Afraid for that). This jury vote was nothing more than a popularity contest.

[@Kyriefraudloser]

Q’s question is the definition of entitlement. No one is entitled to knowing how another spends their money. That is private business. If you gifted someone $100 for their birthday would you ask them “how are you gonna spend it?” I sure hope not. If you do ask, shame on you and your parents.

[@NotInMYName_AntiZionistJew]

@@Kyriefraudloser It’s a valid question and it definitely helped Gabler since iirc, he claimed he was going to donate all of his winnings to charity. Let’s say for the sake of argument, that you are on the fence with your vote and one of the contestants plans to make better use of their winnings and that ultimately sways your vote to them. How is that not valid?

[@alika5189]

Labeling it as "social vs strategic" is kinda unfair to Charlie's game.. Ben implied tht he would've voted for Charlie to win so it's a 5-4 vote. Only 3 out of the 5 Kenzie votes where based on her social skills as Q sympathised with her sob story while Maria was so bitter that she would've voted for Bhanu if he was the conteder other than Charlie. So basically Charlie was social enough to gather more votes than Kenzie. Too bad that two jurors didn't care about the game (social or strategic) when they voted..

[@Rias-sl6fq]

Kenzie was definitely not hidden but I didn’t see her winning for around half the season. But upon a rewatch of even just the first episode it is so obvious. Like when Jem gives a confessional after the marooning challenge where she says “there can only be one winner” and while she says that, they show Kenzie walking from the challenge. But overall, I really like Kenzie as the winner.

[@TheChamp33]

Kenzie had a better social game than Charlie. Ben honestly could’ve got 2nd place if would’ve took Liz to the end because he was not beating Charlie or Kenzie. The jury reaction when Liz said she’ll beat all of them 😂😂. Charlie failed to win Maria back over and Kenzie told her gracefully that she was voting her out in FRONT of the jury. Charlie reminds me of Spencer but just a better social player.

[@thecamishere4344]

even if she did it was by a hair

[@diegobodegaluis5125]

Yes and no. To me, Kenzie was better at building personal with the cast yes which ultimately gave her the win, but Charlie did a MUCH better job at transforming the social relationships that he had into social capital, which is why Charlie not only managed to go far without ever being a threat, but he also wasn’t a goat either, like he really only needed 1 more vote to win. This is not to discredit Kenzie’s win cause she really does deserve it, but it isn’t as if Kenzie just had a better social game than Charlie imo

[@TheChamp33]

@@diegobodegaluis5125 The jury and even Charlie was actively cheering on Kenzie in the fire making challenge and you can tell the jury was HEAVILY edited by them having favoritism in Kenzie.

[@diegobodegaluis5125]

@@TheChamp33 Definitely. And this is why I really liked that Kenzie won cause she really was building very close personal bonds with all of the cast which really ultimately trumps above most things. I am still a bit ticked off at the editing of that final episode though cause the Kenzie win didn’t FEEL satisfactory even if we can all agree that Kenzie did deserve to win.

[@EatersFan]

Kenzie seems like a great and caring person. Charlie played the best game. He deserved to win. He played more strategically getting people voted out and protecting himself. He won more challenges. He didn’t have to build fire because of his social game with Ben. Q and Maria put too much weight on how the money would be spent and not enough on the game play. Maria said she saw herself in Kenzie so she may see herself winning by voting for her.

[@TheJoya1234]

In an interview with Rob has a Podcast - Liz admitted she isn’t a millionaire. It was her strategy. I’m very very happy for Kenzie. Charlie would have been great too.

People underestimate SOOO MUCH the social game that was the base to win survivor . That's why Sandra won over Parvati,Wendel over Dominick or Michele over Aubry. Strategy is important but if you had a social game of Sandra,Michele or Kenzie level you migth dont need to be a Omar or Yul to win ,just need to be good with everyone in a point that they want you to win

Great season and you’re part of that 💯Great work. Looking forward to next season! You did call it pretty much from day one.

[@callasky]

Kenzie social game is through the roof. Yes, Charlie is very smart and strategic, but Kenzie's social game beats his game. One of Charlie's demise is unable to see Maria's character that he was sure that he got his vote and choose not to play with the fire making challenge.

At the END of the day, it’s a social game. And that means if your game is SUPER strategy heavy, make sure you have the social capital to get others to respect that game. The rubric for EVERY season is determined by the cast.

[@thecamishere4344]

yeah and Charlie did have the social capitol! Therefore he should've won. Kenzie was not special in any regard

[@candacebrown2196]

You are amazing! You picked Kenzie as the winner early on!

Charlie was the better. But maybe it would have been smarter for him not to vote Maria at 5, but then at the same time he would risk losing Ben or Liz’s jury vote. It’s just an ugly outcome

[@bluesky5384]

I've been calling Kenzie as the winner for a while because it was clear just how amazing she was socially and with connecting with people. It's been her job to do it since she was 15. Charlie did have the moves locked in more so, but was not as socially strong.

[@phoenixproductions9776]

Boston Rob said it best 10 years ago. If someone is equally tied in the social game versus the strategy. The social player will win it 9/10 times

Kay La Fro!!!!!!!!!!!! I just love your updates! You and I seem to view things so similarly on not only the Survivor shows but also Big Brother! These two shows are my family's and my guilty pleasures, but we don't always have the time to watch intensely, so we just love how you give the extra details. I agree with you that the teaming up of Liz with Kenzie seems unfair, in hindsight. I don't think I've ever seen this happen before, so the producers had to roll with it. I do think Kenzie deserved to win it all, out of everyone left in the Final Three, but I think Maria deserved to win it all. Thank you again for all your great coverage, and we'll be looking forward to your coverage of BB26!

[@ryankelly1826]

No, I think we all see Maria for what she was at least on the show, I’m more upset with the jury voting on who needs the money more? Then don’t play and just listen to everyone’s stories and reward the cash based on that, I mean for Charlie to not get votes because he is pre law is flawed in the game. If the game was extremely close and you want to use that at a absolute last tie breaker then fine but people like Q saying that’s what decided it shouldn’t be there and are a huge issue for this show. That ending was very unsatisfying and I really really liked Kenzie but she shouldn’t have won.

I have the biggest Brain hear my two winner pick since episode 1 were Kenzie and Charlie

[@tjflash60]

Thanks for the Season reviews. You were spot on, congratulations. I could have been happy with Kenzie or Charlie as the winner. Different approaches but I think they both played with their genuine personalities. Kenzie with her original tribe challenges had a tough path but she played it well. She needed to get Maria out but if she makes a move too early she has Maria/Charlie to deal with. She waited until Charlie and Maria had to go after one another and although Charlie had thought about it she wins the challenge and makes the tribal stand telling Maria why she has to write her name down. Winning the fire challenge I think sealed the deal on her hard work.

[@RA-hx9uc]

Kenzie literally answered a question by saying she was used as a number and didn't drive votes. She is easily the worst winners of the new era. Also, Maria is one of the most bitter jurors ever. Listening to Charlie's post season interviews, you realize Maria is just arrogant and wishy washy. Charlie played a perfect game. Some say, (even Charlie) that the jury doesn't get it wrong because it's their vote. However, bitter juries exist. In this case, however, ONLY Maria voted based on bitterness. Charlie eat her and she couldn't handle it, even though she was going after him in favor of Q. Maria sucks. Kenzie seems like a great person. I'm not mad she has the money. But I'm super annoyed she has the title of sole Survivor against Charlie. This is one of the lamest seasons ever.

[@magi054]

Hi Kay,, thank u for the podcast I enjoyed it.. Kenzie was my winner pick from the merge...

[@lauraann7816]

You hit the nail on the head-- it was an individual immunity challenge. Kenzie who could not even figure out what she was reading wouldn't have won without Liz's interference. Liz and Kenzie should have been disqualified. I didn't care for Maria much and I hate how she betrayed Charlie and gave her vote to the person who in my mind got her out by cheating-- but Maria didn't deserve that. It definitely should not have been allowed. You are also right that this opens the door for people to say ut oh a big threat that we want out is close to winning immunity-' let's double team him/her-- heck let's all team up against the one we don't want to win immunity. None of us need immunity if we force the Threat to lose then vote for that threat. It was terrible game play. Again, I didn't particularly like Maria but she deserved to win 100 times more than Kenzie did. Marie had 3 INDIVIDUAL immunities under her belt and probably would have had 4. Kenzie really can't even claim one legitimate win. Yes I am bitter that Kenzie won Survivor.

[@thefoxoflaurels3437]

One of the better Final 3's from a gameplay perspective but that jury really was full of some awesome characters. It feels like Casaya and Fang put together. Yeah Charlie is a pretty good Survivor player and wins most jury votes decisively but if you think Kenzie didn't have that jury in a stranglehold you're kidding yourself. Charlie definitely was the more strategically active player but his social game reminded me of Monte from BB24's mistaking of being pleasant with above average performance in other areas being enough to take down the most active likable and friendly person on the cast. And Kenzie had the strategic and especially physical chops to hold more than her own. Kenzie's whole job is gaining trust and influence over people for her ling-term benefit and - what I imagine much like her performance - genuinely loves dojng it. And again you're one of the few channels that one would imagine a theoretical former player feels like they could watch. You give people the opportunity to change your mind.

[@jessicapeyton5444]

I usually agree with your takes, but as someone who loves the game and the strategy aspect, Charlie should have won. Based on the edit, it made it seem like his final tribal was weak, but he said in an interview that he explained how he dealt with and planned to take down Maria which wasn't shown in the final cut. I think his plan was excellent, and way better than Maria's failed plan to take him down. HIs game was very calculated and intentional and although Kenzie's social game was amazing, his was just as good in a different way.

I believe Maria felt the producers were trying to stop her from winning for Charlie to win. So she screwed over Charlie to get back at the producers.

[@codypagels1598]

I would have voted for Charlie, but this was an emotional jury that didn’t grasp the strategic game all that well. Charlie focusing mainly on talking up his strategy wasn’t the right approach with that audience, and he fell apart to an extent when he was taken off his prepared answers. Maria sucks and I don’t love that Kenzie’s financial need off the island factored heavily into the jury’s choice, but she did a better job of presenting her game at FTC and tailoring to her audience. Again, not how I would have voted, but it’s a valid win and I’m not going to say the majority of the jury is wrong to feel how they feel.

Honestly have to put the season in the bottom 10, you had a player who didn't want to play make it far, the best player change her game up to make sure she lost for no reason, what 5 players go home idols? That right there tells you the players weren't that great at the game. We even had a player help another in an immunity challange lol. Not a season if you like great game play. I am sure next season will learn from this.

[@chrisjacobsen5558]

Like Charlie said, the best player always wins. We all have different criteria, that’s what makes it unpredictable. There’s no formula to win. It’s all based on who is sitting on the jury and how they feel about you. The show is so simple and genius in that way.

[@thecamishere4344]

@@thecamishere4344 if I'm correct Kenzie had a hand in getting out Tiffany who was her number one and Charlie had a hand in getting out Maria who was his number one if I'm correct both of them won immunity twice not 100% sure about that they both were aligned with people like Liz Ben and others who helped them get futher in the game but Kenzie was the one who made fire getting rid of Liz who most of them said could win if she made it to the final Charlie took the easy way to 3 by saying hey I don't need to make fire because I have enough on my resume to win he didn't realize that Kenzie basically had the same resume as him

[@diegobodegaluis5125]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@mykittenisagrandmaster4381Yes and no. From what I heard, Kenzie actually got blindsided in the Tiff vote. She was going to vote Tiff out, but backed out of it, which allowed the opportunity for Charlie and Maria to still take out Tiff and make Kenzie look like someone with no agency in the game, and Charlie played it even better than Maria this round cause he gave her the credit of the move knowing that it was going to make Maria a MASSIVE threat moving forward. As far as I know though, Ben made the wrong move on fire, cause he needed either to put himself in fire, or put Charlie and Kenzie on fire cause Liz had very little shot of actually winning (even though Liz believes that she does win if she gets to the end), like Ben probably does beat Liz, but has no shot vs either Charlie or Kenzie as we saw

@@diegobodegaluis5125 I was wrong about Charlie winning individual immunity challenges does suck he lost but Kenzie played a good game she won immunity she won fire she had friends on the jury even though one of them was only interested in trying to sell his QSkirt invention on TV now he's going to be on Shark Tank can't wait to see him try and get 10 million dollars for 100% of his company

[@diegobodegaluis5125]

@@mykittenisagrandmaster4381 Definitely. And my comment was in no way, shape or form trying to discredit Kenzie’s game, but I was mostly propping up Charlie and giving him the flowers he deserves (I do think he is the best player of the season, but Kenzie is also a REALLY strong player in her own right, and I’m happy that if Charlie didn’t win, it was Kenzie)

Social game = validate me,validate that I am a nice person, cos I lack the confidence to validate myself and I like to play the victim as a test that the other person is trust worthy and really really like me and wants to be bff for life and if they do not validate me then they are not good at playing the "social game".....yuck!!! at Least Kenzie is a million miles better than Wendal.....when certain jury members regret voting for him* due to his sneaky silver tounge social fame (*due to off island drama)

charlie should have won...simple

Ehhh he actively played in Maria’s shadow and just because he outlasted her doesn’t mean a thing imo! Game started and finished with kenzie

Charlie shouldn’t have won because Kenzie had the better social game . Hands down … Charlie wasn’t even able to get his number one to vote for him

[@alika5189]

I love Kenzie but I hate it when people win over sob stories.. Charlie deserved it more imo..

[@RM-ru3fk]

Is there a trend to downplay competition success? I feel like Charlie could have brought up his successes there, he was just the right amount of comp beast to stay alive but keep the heat off him

[@KokettaKnowles]

I dont mind a Kenzie win

[@SJones-pr7tq]

Charlie was the best all round player. Liz and Kenzi cheated. It was an individual challenge. Maria was still pissed at Charlie for her not getting her family letters. For Maria to be the oldest she showed her immaturity tantrums and her lack of integrity.

[@cfssuperhero]

Cheated? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Tell me you've never watched the show without telling me. I can think of at least half a dozen times where someone has helped another person or team to win a challenge in past seasons. This has ALWAYS been within the rules. 🥱

[@FellDownTheCornHole]

Charlie played the best game however that doesn’t mean he deserved to win.

Maria was absolutely vindictive. Her actions did not match her sanctimonious words.

[@Snowboarder16]

Exactly

[@Jim674the18]

Maria was a TERRIBLE player. Charlie totally misplayed everything because he let her get so bad that people played against her. So much so that not one person spoke up during or even said "that's not nice." after the fact. Charlie just made her look a whole fool so he can have a "shield". Of course she isn't going to vote for him to win at that point. I am actually surprised Charlie even got 3 votes.

Ben doesn't need a million dollars anyway, he's famous and people will listen to his music and stuff.

[@briankean7888]

Amazing season and one of the first times I genuinely liked everyone in the final. Three really nice people. Kenzie was my favorite for the whole season but I do think Charley outplayed her. Maria screwed him.

[@user-km6lo1eu1e]

The help Liz gave went too far.

[@Snowboarder16]

[@declanhurley8030]

Worst season for me so far. Charlie got so much attention and he was not entertaining at all. Player 10. Entertaining 0

[@andrewgrey-mk5yn]

Charlie played a better game but he failed at explaining his game at final 3, that’s why he lost. It’s sad to see someone put 26 day of good strategy into the game just to choke at the end
