Survivor 46 | Exit Interview with the Tenth Player Voted Out

This was a fantastic interview. Really wish we got more time. Great explanations from Hunter

Glad you enjoyed it!

why the heck is this interview SO pressed for time? it's a damn podcast. maybe Rob prefers hearing himself talk on and on for 1 hour plus pods

[@lbeau22]

@@tileavenue6911it’s pressed for time because the voted out survivors have a bunch of pre-scheduled interviews the day after they get voted out. It’s not Rob trying to leave early - he’s trying to respect the next interviewer by not running over into their time.

Just goes to show that the show could easily be 2 hours. Dude had so much going on strategically but ppl only get to see his challenge prowess and with a lot of ppl assuming he wasn't being social or strategic.

[@tmm4195]

The first two episodes were two hours, and it was a bit of a drag. I think 90 minutes is the perfect length. I mean they easily have footage to fill up two hours, but most of the stuff just isn't important to the overall story

[@trent2219]

@@tmm4195 With 3 tribes, I'd agree 2 hours is not necessary outside of the premiere in the pre-merge, but It would be nice having 2 hrs episodes post merge in my opinion.

[@karenchristian221]

Exactly. We miss ALOT! In addition, a couple of them said that due to the edits, we ve seen a conversation before the challenge that actually didn't happen until after the challenge n vice versa. So we re missing out on some discussion n moves that would help us analyze better!

All of Hunter's words still do not warrant the decision to NOT play his idol. Even Hunter thought he would stay by only ONE vote.

[@RickGods]

Exactly

[@cuzzdog]

At the beginning of the episode…I said that Hunter was going out by not playing his idol. Just the same old survivor story. People afraid of playing their idols get sabotaged….especially the alpha athletic players who claim to have an IQ. Horrible chess player. Hunter was beat by Charlie…so he was no Ozzie…and did not rely on his skillset to win the next challenge, by fearing to play his idol…so he was again no Ozzie. Hunter is why I quit watching Survivor for so long…it is torturous to watch players who get the IQ praise... go out with bad reads. And Hunter chipped at the D 1 football player…but the Science guy went home before "crazy". Yeah….regret comes from not learning history

[@tatianamaranoedits4184]

I love how he is going for it and explaining everything righ in the begging hahaha

[@itsnotaboutyou]

For real. I was driving while listening to the first ten minutes, and I had to shut it off before my brain exploded or I crash my car. Not sure which would occur first

[@LivTheSlayer]

It is good to know Hunter is pretty strategic and it just wasn't working out too well since the edit kinda painted him as someone who had no clue what he was doing

[@elliewinstead]

hunter was DOMINATING the challenges and he seems like such a sweet guy. he definitely deserved to go further in the game :(

[@sevenfivesgaming5515]

Should’ve played the idol. Then probably would have been voted out the next opportunity he was eligible to be voted for to be voted out.

[@drewlmao]

I get what you mean but he honestly got what he deserved - the other players knew those positive traits made him a huge threat, and he had an idol that he fooled himself out of playing

[@Funnynick]

I know, I was rooting for him to win, he was definitely the biggest challenge threat by far. People say that he ruined his game by not playing the idol and he did, but he almost certainly would’ve been the target the next time he was up for elimination. In my opinion his game ended when Tevin was voted off

@4:44 I think Tiffany would have voted Q out but learning how Hunter is finally vulnerable AND he has an idol, it made more sense for her to vote Hunter out.

Hunter you can logic this as much as you want. But at the peak of paranoia at tribal, where you admittedly have zero clue what’s going… the only thing to do is PLAY YOUR IDOL!!!!!!!!!!

[@tmm4195]

I don't think he was trying to make what he did seem logical. He knows it was dumb in hindsight. He was just giving us his perspective from someone inside the game rather than from an edited tv show perspective

[@angelnoa6327]

I mean he admitted that his mistake was Incorrect on Tiffany. He was correct about where all votes were going except Tiffany and Q. And Q’s vote didn’t matter. He made the wrong call. The wrong misread on one person can do that though! It’s a game of inches.

[@LucasLLP15]

I think the reason we’re so confident that he should have played his idol is because we all had more confidence in his challenge and idol finding ability than he did. Clearly he thought he needed more of a social game or he was screwed and we thought he was better off with what he had going than risking it for the social.

[@lashid4u371]

Honestly, I think that he still felt that he had Maria's vote, even if he wasn't certain on Tiff ... but Maria has flipped on each alliance she's been a part of, starting with Jem (the female alliance), then Tevin ...He took a chance, just as Tiff took a chance ...but in him mentioning his idol, right before tribal ..he focused the attention more on HIMSELF, taking the focus off of flushing out Tiff's ...especially, considering that he was the bigger threat ..I can understand why he took that gamble, though ...but I know they'll have him back (All-stars, or something)

I mean why not be 100% safe, with a 12.5% chance to find another idol (really 14% because Liz ain't looking) plus you have been at the end of all of the challenges with a chance to win. If anyone should have ever played an idol in that situation it should have been Hunter, because he still had outs on the other side, plus his shot in the dark when he didn't have immunity.

It would be an interesting if they changed the rules so that you can play your idol after the votes are read. It would make more people keep it a secret and it would hold more power in the game, a reward for your effort in finding it, instead of it always being misplayed, not played. Idols, including immunity idols, are arguably more of a detriment than an advantage. Spencer arguably should have lost challenges on purpose until a later point in the game, which sounds crazy but it’s always an average player who ends up winning
