Survivor 46 Finale Interview with Charlie Davis

[@MExpress213]

I agree, Charlie's mental composure was incredible. Proven even more as he took a second to breathe and thoughtfully responded to Jeff's question post game rather than emotionally react immediately. Well played man.

[@DrGeeves]

That pause-then-respond moment (and I loved how it was awkward for a second, you could see Kenzie's face getting anxious), and then delivering the most composed answer to a ridiculously tough question in a highly emotional moment, was the most impressed with a survivor contestant I've ever been. I liked both Kenzie and Charlie a lot, so I was not disappointed, but boy oh boy did Charlie's stock go even higher for me. What a kid.

[@SteveBoyer10]

I was really impressed by that as well. Like he mentioned in the interview, he kept his composure much more than other players throughout the season, and he capped it off with that at the end.

[@lorrainedecosta5079]

So bitter & jealous, and she wanted to be a good example for her children. No, Maria you ruined that when you did rock paper scissors to decide who to take to the Sanctuary. Also when Kenzie won the final immunity challenge, you put your disappointment on full display. Then of course your betrayal of Charlie by voting for Kenzie, because of the 'fire in her eyes'. You were so transparent, not a good example. Happy for Kenzie (love how she always comforted anxious Ben), sad for Charlie, he did deserve to win, but utterly disgusted with Maria.

Charlie lost due to Maria's vindictiveness but ultimately the jury was faced with giving the $1 million to a humanitarian who devoted herself to others, or, a strategist who gave himself wholly to the game. I thought it was "outwit, outlast, outplay" and therefore cannot see any reason why Charlie did not win. Full marks to the radiant and compassionate artiste, Kenzie, but this was not an award for "most Popular/Best Liked". Charlie was robbed and Maria is holding the gun.

[@tommyfincher5451]

I like Kenzie, she was my winner pick preseason, but it's hard not to feel like Charlie deserved it more. I don't mind Tiff sticking up for her #1, but it seemed like she belittled Charlie's game at ponderosa. Also, Maria had no reason not to vote for Charlie and for her to say that she voted for Kenzie because she won at fire felt like a weak excuse. Charlie has every reason to be bitter with her, especially with how she treated Ben in the game as well.

[@autumnlaudato]

I've never felt more disappointment from a Survivor finale. Charlie played a better game: plain and simple. Charlie was strategic. He managed his threat-level perfectly. He knew the right time to take out Maria. He kept doors open. He did it all while being respectful towards everyone around him. Kenzie did not treat the people on her original tribe well. I even felt at times she displayed bullying behavior towards Jess and Bhanu. Kenzie did NOT deserve to be crowned the winner of this season. Charlie, by far, displayed more respect and deeper layers within his game. As a fan, the wrong person won Season 46. You could not convince me otherwise. Maria was the hardest person to watch on this season. Forcing Liz, who was starving at the time, to play "Rock Paper Scissors" was the most disrespectful move I've ever seen someone make on this show. It was humiliating and defeating. Liz was so hungry that she played into her game. I believe if Liz wasn't literally starving to death that she wouldn't have participated in something so demeaning. Maria not voting for Charlie was beyond brutal to watch. I also believe that Q's vote was complete BS. You should never vote for someone to win Survivor based off of needing money. Everyone needs money. I thought Soda, Tevin, and Hunter were the stars of the jury. They went into the vote with the right mindsets. All in all, I feel like this season is a waste. Maria would not be invited over to my house.

[@reesebn38]

You summed up the season perfectly!😉

[@cosmiclightning4723]

Completely agree with your analysis of Charlie and Kenzie. I agree Kenzie was pretty disrespectful, I would be scared to be in Kenzie's orbit in real life. I know she'd bad mouth something about me to make herself feel better especially if she saw me as a threat to her reputation.

[@coleenbinbinon9563]

Perfectly said. At last, someone said it about Kenzie bullying behavior first part of the game.

[@cloudnoctis666]

People like Charlie do not win Survivor for exactly this reason. The low life like Maria, Q and Kenzie cannot digest the fact that Charlie is a lot more dignified than they are, and therefore cannot bring themselves to vote for him for the win. It happens every season, the moment they find out he/she comes from money, they decide not to vote for him/her in the end.

[@Nllamb2]

AGREED

[@Mamomain]

Charlie played one of the best strategic games of the new era, he controlled nearly every vote post merge, worked with everyone on the jury and still kept his threat level low. Props to Kenz of course, but Charlie deserved the W. Really goes to show the jury votes for who they like the most, not necessarily on merit of gameplay

[@cameronholmes5590]

"Really goes to show the jury votes for who they like the most, not necessarily on merit of gameplay" Sad but true

[@soren9780]

I - as many people who watch this channel - love survivor for its strategy. I'm so deflated to see one of the best strategic games in recent memory conveyed effectively with charisma lose. Kenzje played a great game but I can't help but feel disappointed.

[@kermitsewrside410]

I don’t think y’all realize survivor is more than just pure strategy. He might have had the best strategic game but that doesn’t always guarantee you the win. Your social game is just as big of a factor to winning as your strategic game. I don’t even think the jury gave him credit for playing the best strategic game of the season. Even though we saw it in the tv show, I think most of the jury thought of Maria as the best strategist, and Charlie just tagged along. That mixed with most of the jury liking Kenzie more then him led to her winning.

[@Mamomain]

@@kermitsewrside410 that’s a great point, there have been a lot of winners who won because they were simply more liked by the jury, even though their gameplay was second or third. The piece that feels off is Charlie and Maria were shown to have such a close bond and the “more than a game” dimension made me believe Maria would vote for Charlie because of their 27 day connection.

[@kermitsewrside410]

@@Mamomain That’s definitely true. I honestly think that came down to Maria being persuaded by other jury members. I don’t think she really thought about Kenzie until people on the jury talked about her. And then after hearing that and then watching her compete in fire and the little speech she gave after I think Maria actually saw Kenzie as a true competitor. And like Charlie said, people probably told her “ya Charlie was coming after you very early into the game.” I think all of that ended up swaying Maria in Kenzie’s direction.

[@MikeyDubs49]

After final tribal, I thought Charlie was the for sure winner. An amazing performance by Charlie, his threat management was soooooo good. I think he wins that season if more information came to light.

[@hated_josh7086]

no i honestly thought tiffany thought charlie was going after maria for a while because she went into her exit press explaining why that reason on charlie trying to get maria is why he didn’t play her idol.

[@Lashid4u]

@@tbhkedwards ..Stop trying to find reasons to come at Tiffany ...The votes would have went the same - it is obvious who Tiffany was gonna vote for, and regardless, Maria was set on her vote. The only other factor was Q's vote, which was changed by Kenzie's response to his final question. Otherwise, I believe people would have voted the same. Charlie's win depended more on Maria's support, because it was all very split (understandably). Tiffany stood by her #1, Maria did not.

[@Lashid4u]

Tell me: WHO did Tiffany "mind control" to vote for Kenzie? Maria claimed her vote was based on the "fire" ...Q explained his vote was based on Kenzie's response to HIS (not Tiff's) last question, which he felt was a more honest response. So, did Tiff had "mind control" over Tevin ..someone who RATTED on Tiff? And it was OBVIOUS that Venus was gonna vote for a WOMAN to win, regardless! So, MISS ME with that...

[@ghostofkenny]

@@JNDReacts A small but transparent example of Tiffany trying to guide the vote and set the table for Kenzie was in her opening statement during final tribal : "Also please understand, we are not looking for Taylor Swift lyrics. We are not looking for pop culture and rock & roll references (*you can actually see whatever little light Ben had left in his eyes go out right here). We are looking for serious and thought provoking responses". That's a shot at Charlie and a shot at Ben before they've even said a word, but no sassy put down for Kenzie conveniently enough; and all this while claiming to be speaking on behalf of the jury. This instantly puts Ben and Charlie on the defensive ("don't do this, don't be yourselves") and means they have to consciously dial down parts of their personality to appease the jury while Kenzie is allowed to feel comfortable and free to just be herself in a game where authenticity was a huge part of each of their success. I like Kenzie so I'm not mad about the result but I find stuff like this so annoying. If you're gonna campaign for someone, do it openly. That's annoying too but at least I don't have to sit through this charade where I have to pretend you're being fair and objective. I also really hope they go back to the old jury format because this version gives certain jurors more power than they should have in guiding conversations during final tribal.

The honest truth is that Charlie lost the game, because he was too comfortable in thinking that Maria was the only threat to his endgame. It became obvious during the fire making challenge that there was a Kenzie-ward tilt in the jury.

[@josephlim6854]

@9:50 I recall Tiffany mention that in her exit press. It’s interesting since Kenzie did put Tiff’s name out there yet Tiffany never found about that until the episode aired! Jury management is part of the game and it’s great to have an advocate for you in the jury, which Tiffany did for Kenzie. Sounds like Maria had some bad blood in ponderosa but regardless, I really enjoyed watching Charlie and hope he comes back to RHAP for a deep dive with some TS lyrics!

[@Lashid4u]

WHY IS IT that EVERY season, y'all find some black female to take your disappointment out on, when a white male doesn't win? It was OBVIOUS who Tiffany was supporting (considering her facial expressions, gestures, etc.), but she didn't "bully" the jury, or have this mind control over the jury, as y'all are trying to make it seem. The votes would have went the same - it is obvious who Tiffany was gonna vote for, and regardless, Maria was set on her vote. The only other factor was Q's vote, which was changed by Kenzie's response to his final question. Otherwise, I believe people would have voted the same. Charlie's win depended more on Maria's support, because it was all very split (understandably). Tiffany stood by her #1, Maria did not.

[@L2-L2]

​@@Lashid4u why bring race into this? You have a victim mentality. Tiff ran her mouth talking bs to the other jury members. These past few seasons the winner is always the one who is most liked instead of the one who played the best game which Charlie did. If you were a true survivor fan you'd see that. Kenzie played a great game but not as good as Charlie.

[@Lashid4u]

@@L2-L2 Oh, and in case you didn't know ..I never said that Charlie did not play a better game - I was hoping he'd WIN. I'm pointing out how y'all have found a way to take this out on Tiff ..but of course, just like last season with Katurah ..it's NEVER anything "racial" ..but I've responded with a livestream

[@L2-L2]

@@Lashid4u I'm not gonna watch your livestream and it's always black people who bring up race. It's happened a lot in recent seasons. Chill it's not that serious. Tiff ran her mouth to maria and the others and she just happens to be black. It's not a race issue

[@Highwind452]

​@@L2-L2Just ignore that one. They race bait and steam roll threads with their grossness all throughout this channel.

[@ralphroimallare3845]

5:51 Appreciate the honesty from Charlie. If The Fire Making really got to the point that they felt matches were going to come out, then that just makes Maria's "reasoning" all the more seem silly. I appreciate Charlie's take on him winning the strategic aspect of the game, but accepting the juror's appreciating Kenzie's social game more.

Oh, what an excellent point. Silver linings and all that. Every half-hearted explanation she continues to give is only bolstering him more. Thank you. I like this so much and it’s helpful to be less frustrated as a viewer/reader as well.

only problem is he will be an early target next time he plays.

[@mayoarguiza1092]

such an incredible person. Charlie you really need to go back

[@lapaylor4039]

Maria had lots of stock pretty words but showed her true self at the end of the show. Charlie I hoped you'd really tell the jury at the end all that you did, not just living in maria's shadow. You played hard and won challenges, strategized. If you'd reminded the jury of that in OBVIOUS terms I think you deserved to win. I like Kenzie and she survived that first tribe, but... but...

Great point from charlie that if the fire making took that incredibly long, Maria's answer makes even less sense

Charlie should have won. He played the best game in a cast full of people exhibiting narcissistic bully behavior. Unfortunately, those people comprised the jury. Charlie, you are the winner of a million hearts. You should be proud!

[@Lubella-tp9lr]

I hope Charlie is reading these comments he played a brilliant game! I was rooting for him and Kenzie but Maria stabbed him in the back

[@robynhickey1457]

He is a gentleman. He was nice to my Grand daughter when he saw her in tears at the Survivor disaster in Nashville. Thank you, Charlie, for at least making it a lil bit memorable for her.

[@milanbaros-gi4pm]

tiff lobbying so hard for kenzie and poisoned the jury against Charlie. I respect that, you should lobby for your number 1. i just thought maria would do the same for charlie. dissapointing.

[@Lashid4u]

Tiffany didn't "poison" the jury - STOP it! Y'all do this EVERY season, as you did with Katurah last season. Q changed his vote, due to how Kenzie's response to HIS question (which had NOTHING to do with Tiff's "influence"), and Maria claimed that she didn't vote for Q because of the "fire" ...The votes would have remained the same - the only other votes that could have been "swayed" by Tiff was Kevin, because I ALREADY KNEW that Venus would be voting for a female!

[@BigfloXOXO]

Poisoned is not the right word to use, but I see your point. She did what Maria should've done, which isn't "poisoning"

[@milanbaros-gi4pm]

@@BigfloXOXO via rhap jury interviews, Tiff told maria that charlie had turned on her earlier after the hunter vote. Tiff said charlie told her to keep the idol to vote out maria. Which led to Tiffs blindside. But tiff (knowingly) changed the context to maria to sell that charlie had betrayed and was shady all along. Making maria feel charlie was not genuine with their friendship. It was only after the final tribal at poderosa that maria found out the truth from charlie that he only told that to tiff to make sure she didnt play her idol for the blindside. By changing the context, tiff "poisoned" the perception of the truth.

[@BigfloXOXO]

@@milanbaros-gi4pm that's not changing the perception of the truth, that was literally Tiffany's truth LOL. She thought that was the case (it was for her), how is that poisoning? That's Charlie's fault for not telling Maria that prior to the end of the game! Don't blame Tiffany for that man, that's not fair

[@milanbaros-gi4pm]

@@BigfloXOXO firstly, i dont have a problem with tiff lobbying hard for kenzie and still playing the game at poderosa. I would do the same for my no.1. Secondly, tiff knew exactly what she was doing. Shes a smart girl. Thirdly, there is no "my truth" or "tiffs truth", there is simply the truth. Objective. Lastly, Charlie has no agency to control the game still going on in ponderosa. So being able to predict and have foresight to act on something that has not happened yet and its something he cant control is ridiculous for you to even suggest. No offence.

[@disneytherapy8028]

Did Maria ask a question in final tribal? I really felt that if she didn’t win then Charlie won’t win. Kenzie was great but really do believe Charlie was the winner.

Maria made a negative remark when Charlie was answering a question.

[@pamelapetrosino4437]

Charlie truly deserved the win in my eyes. He was one of my favorites from the start, and he proved to be a great all around player. Maria robbed him of his win. This finale should have had a different outcome. Maria showed her true colors (Bitter Betty), whereas Charlie demonstrated class and dignity. So glad that he had the opportunity to plead his case. He had great responses. They should have had a fan favorite vote!

[@Supremedalex]

Charlie played an excellent game and I love how excellently he was able to articulate it.

[@mattcurran2596]

Best strategic game of the new era. Taylor swift honest truth. Kenzie had him beat in the social game but Charlie’s strategic game was the best hands down. Always was in the middle with options.
