Know-It-Alls: Survivor 47 Ep 10

[@resoketswem.manenzhe157]

Lol the rice saga is why I think Rachel is winning. Dee had the toe, Rachel has the rice.

[@CadeCYC]

Yeah with Genevieve over planning (sadly) and Rachel moving below her on target list, and having Andy as a new target as they play the middle - with an idol- Rachel has to be the favorite rn

[@harrdeeharr]

I bet Stephen positively swooned when Sol walked out in his vest

[@jr370113]

Who didn’t swoon over sol in his vest.

[@icedcovfefe6580]

I sure did!

[@ANJIN-p4q]

Teeny definitely did

[@joeysummers8830]

Why do we think this exactly? 😅 Either way I definitely swooned when Sol walked in jacked and glistening

[@solomonrivers5639]

My pants were looking like Sam’s by the time Tribal was over

[@KatieQi]

Know-It-All was the first podcast I was interested outside the tv show itself, because I’m such a big fan of Rob and Mr. Novelist Fishie as great players inside the game.❤❤ no matter how many diff faces in all diff survivor podcasts, these two together is still THE BEST! They talk so smoothly with each other in conversation, it feels like two lovely brothers and families🥰

[@willms7173]

Excellent sound quality, and I can listen to them through the whole show.

[@CadeCYC]

Well put!

[@hopehodges6568]

This was a favorite podcast for me. You guys always have such fun takes gets me hype and excited for each episode while I wait. Big fan!!

[@icedcovfefe6580]

Last night's vote really solidified this season being better than 45 for me. At this point a year ago, I was getting increasingly frustrated by the Reba 4 being unopposed week after week. They teased the idea that that could happen again with Gabe's confessional about this being the last vote he needs to lock down the game, and so I was pleasantly surprised that Beka didn't let it happen!

[@ashen_roses]

I feel like most of the 45 cast was just bad at Survivor. Like that doesn't mean one or two weren't great, but that DOES mean I entirely get letting one tribe dominate them. Though did they even have numbers at the F9 with the voting bullshit

[@tchaw88888]

45 is still my favorite new era season personally. every character was interesting to me and compelling, there’s a few duds for me this season

[@coneil72]

S45 is the worst season since 40, IMO. So predictable and boring.

[@annrodriguez2891]

Yes #45 was boring because of Reba 4 strong

[@hopehodges6568]

I was just so sad when Emily went home :((

[@daliretoncho]

Glad yall finally coming to the conclusion that Andy is a final 3 goat, his winning chances discounted by his first episode chaos

[@joeyagati2138]

Im not totally counting out Andy, but im feeling Teeny winning unless Sam gets to the end

[@CadeCYC]

Also I think he’s playing into his second side - ego. Once he gets past that he’ll have humility. Ego gets survivors in the end, he will overplay his hand

[@iamjp1]

lol

[@Bella_mo]

Rob, you definitely deserve to be in the top 25 for cameos! You're so good at what you do and are a Survivor legend in your own right. Carolyn was a joy this week - great discussion you two!!

[@A852-m9c]

Any chance they improve the SITD odds in future to 1/4 after this proof that players don't find it all that valuable? IE: If they had a 25% chance of it hitting, I feel like they wldn't have gotten e'one to agree to sacrifice it🤔Don't think the show (Jeff) likes when players invalidate their advantages, so do they make it more valuable in future to justify keeping it?

[@CadeCYC]

Yeah 1/4 or 1/5 is much more enticing

[@Machida209]

Sol looked like a Mortal Kombat character in that tribal

[@leiwatanabe8660]

I’m glad to know I wasn’t the only one making comments about Sue while watching… I just kept saying why doesn’t she just wash her face in the ocean or something… it was pouring at tribal.. why doesn’t she just wipe her face or something… 🤷‍♀️

[@englarian1017]

Same! But hearing Rob and Stephen discuss her dirty face made me glad she didn't wipe it! 😂

[@morgannewhite608]

I always wondered about what Kyle said in one of the first episodes, something regarding wanting a good person to win for once. I always felt like it was foreshadowing or meant something to how the season plays out. At first i thought it was meant for kyle. But after listening to the podcast i was thinking about how teenys edit highlights them as the empathetic good natured person. Now i wonder if its foreshadowing their win. Or maybe im reading too much into it lol

[@chuck2469]

Edit wise i think this Rachel's game to lose. Sam and or Andy still are viable winners but after Rachel's she doesn't want to be the captain she wants to be the ocean it's almost sealed the deal.

[@icedcovfefe6580]

Gotta love the sniff

[@EvZotti]

The Know-It-Alls are a staple to watch after every episode. Really enjoy hearing your guys perspective every week, appreciate the insights as always. I’m really enjoying this season mainly due to the cast, but I do think it’s shined a light on a glaring problem for the show. The biggest issue with Survivor currently is Jeff as the showrunner. From forcing the players to constantly lose their votes at every turn, or pushing useless twists like the rice negotiation that have zero impact at all, he gets in the way too much of the game to serve his own ego. Probst is not the star of the show that he thinks he is, the players and actual game are. This cast has delivered in spite of him and production getting way too involved. Much love fellas, keep up the great work.

[@icedcovfefe6580]

Nah, Jeff IS Survivor. Keep in mind, the man is constantly under pressure from CBS to be upping viewership, not to mention pressure from the fans. There are a whole team of producers who make decisions, and the fact that these are the most watched seasons of Survivor for years tells me that Jeff is trying hard to entertain the fans. A show that is almost 50 seasons long needs to try new things and make mistakes along the way. The one constant this show has is Jeff Probst, and how much love he clearly shovels into Survivor every day. His attitude is definitely contagious and spreads to the editors, producers, and the players. The man makes mistakes, but he deserves infinite credit as well, because very much created the show and has kept it alive for 25 years.

[@EvZotti]

@@icedcovfefe6580 I don’t agree at all, especially that he “IS Survivor.” There might be several producers too, but he is ultimately the showrunner who has final say on those decisions. But to each their own, appreciate your perspective truly. Thanks for sharing and hope all is well with you 🙏🏼

[@girlloveshemp642]

@EvZotti lol, it’s a good thing you don’t work for CBS. If you did, you’d be fired within a month. Get real. Jeff is Survivor. Almost 50 seasons. That says whatever he is doing is working. If Jeff wasn’t on Survivor, that would be the end of it. I love Jeff and can say that majority of Survivor fans love Jeff too. Jeff is the face of the show!!!!!!!

[@nafiyy77]

We need Jeff for all season Survivor. He is the best, period!

[@EvZotti]

@@girlloveshemp642 17 people have liked my comment, one has liked yours lol I think that alone speaks to not everyone agreeing with your opinion or that everyone loves Jeff. He is not the end all, be all with Survivor and the show would be fine without him. He’s also not the star of the show at all. The players and game are. You’re entitled to your opinion though. Just because people don’t have the same viewpoint as you, doesn’t make you right. Maybe lose the attitude going forward too. Take it easy.

[@orestria]

Sol's vest is given Raiden from Mortal Kombat

[@jjohnson4474]

Haven't watched yet but I'll be interested in Stephen's take on whether voting out Gabe was a good move or not by Caroline and Kyle. I was surprised that Rob and Q thought it was good in their podcast. I think it was a terrible move, especially for Caroline. She had a solid unbreakable three and a forth that was close enough to them and she gave it up - for what? I predict Caroline is going out soon and will not make the finale solely because of this vote.

[@annrodriguez2891]

Genevieve should of went

[@daviddanielmerkle9520]

Unquestionably bad for Kyle. Not sure for Caroline, but I probably wouldn’t have done it if I were in her shoes.

[@girlloveshemp642]

@jjohnson4474 naw, best move for Caroline. You think Gabe was a good player, he wasn’t.

[@joshkettles]

It’s Showtime!

[@toddk9219]

Just give Teenie a million now. My winner. Haven’t had such a lovable contestant on in a long time

[@AudioEv1]

I was ready to post about the Hammock curse the last two episodes. But, the players shown lounging in the hammock did not get voted out in either episode. Gabe was in the hammock the prior episode. But, I don’t think that counts. 😅

[@melissahanawalt6383]

Sue's dirty face is funny! She is going to look extra great when we see her after the season!

[@toeguides]

I felt like gabe was drawing dead and had zero chance of winning.

[@annrodriguez2891]

Carolyn!!!!!!!!!!Cannot wait! #45 was boring to me because of Reba 4 strong..#47 is way more unpredictable and interesting

[@stephaniemaier699]

Thank you!

[@ja1207]

they're forgetting Rome as a returnee.

[@adamskyline4500]

I wouldn’t discredit Kyle’s immunity wins. The challenge where 1 woman and 1 man won individual immunity, Kyle still managed to beat the whole field all the women and the men lost to him. Beyond that the mergatory win was just as good as the immunity where Gabe won. They did the team section of the challenge and then won the individual section. If you want to put an asterisk for the win where he lost to Genevieve and Teeny, then sure just also mention that Teeny and Genevieve won immunity also. Give them more credit rather than downgrading Kyle’s credit

[@tmm4195]

I think it's not that their downgrading Kyle's wins but more about the fact that it paints an unfair target on his back. At least that's how I feel. He literally gets 3rd in one challenge but gets the necklace so the other two left in the challenge get the heat taken off of them. Kyle on the other hand gets all the heat yet he didn't even get first

[@7jcjg]

if we have another "every vote went against what i wanted except a few, and people liked me, so i am the best survivor player' bs. no, if you are a passenger the whole season and win just because you are likable, then you are not the best player. stop it.

[@eeg0415]

You're right Rob. They never showed us why Genevieve wanted Sol out.

[@CadeCYC]

They did but it can’t be the real reason. I do think it was similar to what they said-her knowing the votes wouldn’t be there to take her out next round or so, but unfortunately she told one too many ppl and it blew up.

[@drewhayes1953]

Kyle basically needs to immunity winning streak his way to the end. So far Gabe has been his biggest contender for challenge wins, even beating him once. Maybe voting out Gabe was a good move for Kyle because he is now more likely to keep winning individual immunities.

[@willms7173]

I don't remember how good Kyle is at solving puzzles, but at some point (maybe at the final immunity challenge), a puzzle might be involved. I'm reminded of the time when Ozzy lost a puzzle challenge.

[@drewhayes1953]

@willms7173 I'm just now realizing how puzzle light this season seems to be. Are there normally more puzzles post-merge?

[@willms7173]

@@drewhayes1953 I believe they're normally held closer to the finals.

[@judydebeer2857]

I CANT FIND STEVEN ON BLUE SKY

[@dbarller]

Survivor needs to come up with some new immunity challenges it’s the same recycled challenges over and over again. And it’s been the same concept balance yourself and balance balls. No wonder Kyle seems to keep winning it’s the same challenge every week

[@CadeCYC]

They’ve had lots of new challenges this year I’ve been loving it. This week is a repeat and not the most exciting but the three balls thing is maddd hard

[@dbarller]

@ ball on the ring thing not new. Balancing ball on a long stick not new. The forearm strength one is fine but also not new and has been used a lot. None are easy but the 3 challenges that require you to balance a ball are all the same skill set.

[@coneil72]

S45 had a few characters playing really good games?!?!?!?? Dee was the ONLY person who played that season!! She had no competition!!!

[@tchaw88888]

not true. all the reba 4 were good players in their own right, plus there was kellie, emily

[@dakidsofly09]

That’s false, Katurah Played one of the best games in the new era. She just couldn’t make fire

[@WypsotorNyloff]

All 4 of the Rebas were great players, Kellie/Emily/Sabiyah were good players with a few big mistakes, Brando had a lot of potential

[@tmm4195]

@@dakidsofly09 What!? Katurah played a horrible game lol. She was a huge factor in Reba taking control of the game. Katurah embodies what a safe survivor player is. A player that's afraid to take risks and is content being someone's pawn. Similar to Laurel in Ghost Island. It can get you far, but it will not get you the win

[@dakidsofly09]

@@tmm4195 I disagree. I do believe she made a major mistake and not voting out D at five, but that does not negate that she played a very good game Emily Tiffany Carla so many new era players had one floor that caused them the game however that does not negate that they played a fantastic game. A survivor game comes with mistakes and sometimes the mistake you make can be $1 million one.

[@henleycleveland4533]

How many immunity challenges does Kyle need to win to get a spot on season 50?

6
