'Survivor': Charlie & Maria SPEAK OUT On Vote Shocker

[@Jacksonransom]

Translation: maria was bitter she lost, and decided if she couldnt win neither would her number 1. Maria was a snake.

[@melissawingfield8666]

100% agree. What was her reasoning for not voting for Charlie? I didn't have a chance to watch the whole after-show.

[@mjh8492]

@melissawingfield8666 during the long, boring, drawn out fire battle at the end, Kenzie had a fire in her eyes she identified with. Makes no sense at all she was bitter.

[@vinyllpreviews9462]

She decided to gun for Charlie same exact moment Charlie gunned for her. Not only that, Carlie told her the plan was to vote out Q. She idiotically believed she had the votes. She knew Q had an Idol, she could of just told Q to play your idol and we vote out Charlie. So, she basically botched that. Then, wasn't Charlie who ganged up to beat her in a challenge, it was Liz and Kenzie. So? Why she not mad at Kenzie.

The fact that Maria sees it as "well I'm sure he feels bad but it wasn't just me, I'm one of 5 people who didnt vote for him....." speaks loud. How can she not take their bond into account? He did not have that bond with the other 4 people and she was the only one who had given him the expectation of loyalty. This gives me the ick.

[@Rp10101]

This exactly. I hate her arguments that's she was 1 of 5 votes .... like 🐝 the other 4 people didn't have the bond and work so closely together literally the entire game . Her arguments are so lame and feel so rehearsed

[@karenwilson3261]

Maria never talked about a husband only her three children....so could this be why she was divorced....she is not faithful to her vows of friendship....to her husband so of course she would not be faithful to Charlie.

[@KatieQi]

Exactly! Just shallow coverup excuses that everyone can see through immediately…. Why bother doing the interviews if you still cannot be honest with yourself and facing your own cowardliness of acting as a sore bitter loser….. it’s being a year since the game ended, yet she still grew no strength to own up her cowardliness and the burdens caused to Charlie and the fans…. still all-in defending her old misstep, Sad and pity. You can see the energy from the screen, she feels shamed and guilty; while Charlie still acts with his total integrity on the interview, consistent with how he did in the game, thus you can see his lightness of burden in his interviews when asked on these tough question!

[@Rp10101]

@KatieQi seeing Charlie's post game interviews are so sad. You can tell how he is so genuinely hurt and I love that he calls her out for changing her reasoning and saying she said she regretted voting for kenzie. The worst part is ben admitting he would of voted Charlie to win in the tie vote . Smh

[@Chronochrome]

It's a deflection. She knows what she did was fueled by pettiness because it doesn't make sense to reward Kenzie with the money after she was boosted by Liz (which was total BS). She was just upset that Charlie outwitted, outplayed, and outlasted her at her own game.

I agree 💯!!! Just thinking about Maria's actions, reactions and behavior this entire game she seems really manipulative. Obviously Survivor is all about that. However she seems manipulative in a very off and scary way. A devious, narcissist, cunning sociopath way? Plus she stabbed Charlie in the back and then made up all these excuses. She's a snake and not sorry at all lol! Seems like she is constantly plotting and trying to fool anyone she can. She doesn't deserve Charlie's friendship! He's too good for her.

I have no words for Maria, I’m more tired of jury members basing their vote solely on who needs the money more, if you want to use that as a tie breaker fine but when you have people like Q saying that because she needed the money the most I gave it to her, then why play the game at all, just give it to the person who needed it the most. I mean I don’t think people want to watch an entire season see one person clearly play the best game and then they lose because they are pre law?? It’s an issue. Also one thing nobody is saying is if Maria gets to final 3 she probably wins, so thank god she didn’t get there because seeing who she was on the show I would’ve been more upset with that.

[@zeanibanks3950]

I agree! The only time this okay is if they need the money AND they played a great game!

[@Superbounce3]

I think if it were about who needed the money, Ben would’ve won as the musician living with his parents, not Kenzie the business owner. Kenzie gave the most honest answer, that she would spend the money on herself, and that’s what the jury respected.

Maria was a major snake. She is just mad because she realized how Charlie started painting her as a threat and like he said, he picked up people whom she threw under the bus basically. Everyone said he followed her game, but he sort of used her as a shield to be a mastermind behind things. His strategy and game play was just as good as Kenzie's but in a different way. I am also pretty sure there was other challenges where someone helped someone else, maybe even from a different team. I thought there was a season just a few seasons ago when a team helped another team to get rid of someone else. These things have happened on Survivor.

[@karenwilson3261]

[@ajos1533]

Insane that Maria just tried to turn the story that she realized she was “alone on an island” during the Q vote… Oh, you mean the vote where YOU WERE TRYING TO VOTE OUT CHARLIE?! The delusion, hypocrisy and manipulation is palpable. The funny thing is I actually believed she has partially pure motives in voting for Kenzie, and then I hear her try to paint the story as though Charlie went after her first and left her “all alone”…. So sad for him. I hope Charlie plays again and wins it all. He played a near perfect game in my opinion and I’m a harsh critic.

[@vinyllpreviews9462]

Charlie told her they were voting for Q. She absolutely blew it.

[@truly3743]

[@ladolcevita7777]

Ok let's get one thing straight. Yes, Maria is allowed to vote for whoever she wants, but clearly, her reasoning for it is out of jealousy for Charlie. If because Charlie wanted to vote her out, she clearly wanted to vote Charlie out before and it backfired on her so she was embarrassed about it. That's survivor. But to vote for someone because of fire in their eyes and what they will do with the money is entirely stupid. Jeff, please change the game, change the way people are voted. Find great survivor fans and give them the criteria for how to vote. Just saying...try something in the new era. You keep changing things, maybe change the scoring. I still don't think you should have changed "Come on in guys"!! Guys has also always been used in a generic way. Why change it now?

[@vinyllpreviews9462]

Charlie also told her who they were voting for that night. Her grandiose attitude prevented her from thinking he was right. She ignored him. She could of easily told Q to use his idol and vote out Charlie. She 100% blew it.

[@FDeeKay]

That is one point I would have to disagree with. As much as I don't like the reasoning behind Maria's vote, it makes Survivor such fascinating show to watch as each season would have juries with varying degrees of reasoning, game knowledge and respect, and as a player you would need to navigate through the web of personalities to convince enough person to vote for you to win

[@michaelh5689]

[@williamadams5384]

Maria changed her story on when she decided to vote for Kenzie 3 times in interviews. First time she decided not to vote for Charlie was when she was voted off, she said she wasn't voting on friendship (Charlie) who played the best game. 2nd time she said it was because of the fire making she decided to vote for Kenzie and then on US Weekly she said she was walking up the stair debating Kenzie Charlie Kenzie Charlie. So, if that story was true, she still hadn't made up her mind. I believe those are all lies because I believe when she was voted off her feeling and saying I'm not voting for the winner based on friendship were her true feelings and bitterness towards Charlie. I knew then she would not be voting for him to win, and I was correct.

I understand why Maria didn't vote for Charlie, but she has to understand how messed up it was for her to not vote for her number 1. That's literally one of the points of making a connection with someone on the show in hopes that they will vote for you! Also, Maria didn't take ole girl who hadn't eaten anything in that reward, and she didn't have a good reason for it (imo).

[@kathrynlenau4700]

Maria made her voting rationale all about herself. It was essentially “well I voted for Kenzie because she’s the most like ME”. She just highlighted Kenzie “being selfish” and “doing something for herself” for once and just circled it back to how that relates to her own life. Someone doesn’t have to live the same life story as you to be deserving of the money and title and I feel like that highlights of bit of self absorption in Maria. Also for her to say that she hopes a friendship can continue is kinda ridiculous. I feel like she isn’t grasping the depth of that betrayal and the impact of going back on a promise she made to him. She said that she was crying at watching herself get eliminated, how do you think she’d react if she were one vote away from winning and Charlie didn’t vote for her? I don’t think she’d take it so well based on how seriously she took the game.

[@dajo2824]

Exactly. This is what a narcissist does.

Charlie is a class act! ❤

[@RaymondRegala-uc5fn]

Charlie deserved to win...It's about game play not your life story I'm sorry. Love Kenzie but Charlie deserved the win.

[@JuliaThomas-he2wn]

Maria sucks she didn't keep her word till the end

[@TheConstructiveCritic888]

Maria is such a snaky and bizarre individual because she tries to pretend to be dignified but she also showed some MAJOR red flags in behavior and actions that would be indicative of a person that isn’t honest. I feel for Charlie. He should’ve won. And not even “he should’ve won only between the three.” No, even over Maria. And then listening to Maria’s explanation and justification… such a disappointment

[@joniholland8555]

He expresses himself so well.

[@Nllamb2]

Charlie should have won. This jury was so hypocritical. Blamed Ben for playing an emotional game and then they all choose Kenzie based on her emotional story not her game.

[@12Metatron]

Charlie you're so amazing. Im sorry you didn't win but I hope you have a successful life all the same

[@davidhobbs8309]

I was a huge Maria fan UNTIL the jury! She based her decision on how Kenzie was going to change her life with the money and her fire in her eyes! Give me a frick’n break! Why play the game? She completely disregarded how Charlie played the game….she ruined the whole season. Everyone’s life would be changed winning a million dollars. She taught her kids that she can. It be trusted when it comes down to it!

[@lucyhannah1227]

Maria was a villain, an amazing one at that. They kinda foreshadowed it. At the end of the day she earned her jury vote and she can vote however she likes, so I don't agree with people telling her how she 'should' have voted. That being said if she had voted Charlie and got a tie that would've been great TV and lowkey wish it happened

[@jeannestrydom2619]

I hate Maria's justification as to why she voted for Kenzie its not about what will you do with the million It is about who is the ultimate survivor. No amount of explanations can correct her vindictiveness. Glad Charlie closed the door on her. How can she long for a friendship with Charlie after exposing her evil self.

[@russianmuffin98]

She thought loosing a friend was worth the vote

Charlie has so much grace and is so well-spoken.

[@JayShockblast]

There is absolutely nothing Maria can say that will make me believe she voted Kenzie out of anything but bitterness for Charlie and her not winning. If the shoe was on the other foot, I don't think there is even a 1% change Charlie wouldn't vote for her. I don't think what they are going to do with the money should matter in picking a winner. They played a game. That's what should have mattered. This 100% came down to her telling herself if she can't win, Charlie can't either. And it sucks, because up until that point, I really respected her game and I don't blame her being a little bitter. She probably deserved to win, but that's not Charlie's fault. No loyalty.

[@shellbacksclub]

"kenzie had fire in her eyes!"!?? Cuz she literally was looking at fire!

[@Faith_007]

Maria did not vote for Charlie as she was pissed that her plan to vote out Charlie failed and instead Charlie was able to vote out Q and Marie, MARIA WAS A SORE LOSER PERIOD. Thee was always something in her eyes that it is like a dagger. Charlie was classy and should have won, Charlie is graceful!

[@karenwilson3261]

In one respect.....Charlie DID win. As an attorney he is world wide known and as Brother EDEN says above, Charlie will have people lining up to have him as a lawyer. And now because Charlie handed his loss in a gracious way, He is a WINNER and winning hearts around the world. People know a Real Winner when they hear what they have to say, "It is easy to win" as Andy Griffith says. "But a real winner is in knowing how to lose." So Charlie won the hearts of everyone near and far. Far and Wide because he is a humble person. And the look of Pride in Jeff Probst eyes for Charlie hearing what Charlie said could win Charlie another spot on Survivor.

[@dajo2824]

Best interview of Charly. For me Charly won it , but in this era it helps to have a I need the money story. (Kenzy is awesome. Not a victim. Love her) Kenzy took a very very long time to make fire so it wasn’t that. For all of Maria’s talk of her sons, she voted for the woman who wanted to start a family . Her words. Charly wants to start a family also. so it came down to her being mad over the letters from home and if she can’t win, he can’t win. Maria is a therapist but with all the lying, she can’t fool anyone. Charly’s answer right after all this happened shows his incredible maturity. What a man.

[@dajo2824]

Hearing Maria’s interview. Though she is a therapist her narcissism shows. Doesn’t know how to own mistakes.

[@dinacox1971]

Maria what a jerk....the nasty extra jab of "I was one of 5 that didn't vote for him"....yes but the other 4 had not promised him their vote AND were not best closest friends!!!!! Shame on you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@swannoir]

I thought Maria was a strong woman and a strong player and I liked her for most of the season. Then came the Reward Challenge she won and how she handled that, and the conflicted reasoning she gave about it. She couldn't explain (wouldn't admit to) her FTC vote either and, after it, I began searching to try to see if she and Charlie were still friends. Remember, he was going to be "Uncle Charlie" and all of that. I don't think that's going to happen and, if not, what a tremendous loss to her, her family, and to her boys. Had she voted differently and Charlie had won, I can imagine what a fabulous "uncle" he would have been and how everyone would have benefitted from that relationship. But Maria was the "If I can't have it neither can you" type. And yes, Charlie did plot against her. But she was plotting against him at the same time! And I think we'd all be shocked if he wouldn't have voted for her in the end, had the positions been reversed. This is the first time I've watched Survivor in some years and my first "new era" show, I guess. But if this is the way it is now, if core alliances of two turn on each other at the end, I prefer old Survivor. None of this, for me, takes away from Kenzie's win, btw. I absolutely loved her and am happy for her win, her marriage and the coming baby boy they can securely welcome into the world this Fall. Best of luck and much happiness to them!

[@beverlybrown4398]

Watch 44 and 45. Very loyal. This cast was a hot mess and lots of fun, but not the best strategy. 44 and 45 had some great strategic players

[@selflove9841]

Maria was so salty. I’m glad she didn’t win. Charlie should have won and had her vote. Charlie played an amazing game and if Maria was up there Charlie would have voted for her.

[@johnshepard1427]

The interviewer did a fantastic job

[@californiadreaming567]

Maria we saw your face and it was a disconnect with the fire excuse

[@EdwardVarner]

Maria was my favorite, but if that’s how she treats “family” I can only imagine how she treats others.

[@truly3743]

Her poor kids and husband if she still has one?!

[@kennethgenarts5928]

Charlie's mistake was he stuck in Maria's shadow for too long. If he kept Venus earlier or brought her final 3, he could have won.

[@lorelei97394]

Maria is the definition of a complete narcissist. Her entire interview is ME ME ME Im so full of me. She thought it unfair for Liz to help Kinzie yet wasnt it unfair to deprive an obviously starving person the opportunity to eat? I dont blame Liz at all. In fact I applauded that move. Maria comes off as a self centered, petty, spoiled ,vindictive woman. And the only reason she deprived charlie of her vote was to selfishly "get even" because he concluded her play.

[@nbedwards8956]

The interview was about Maria so how you conclude she is a narcissist based on her being interviewed about herself is just ludicrous. LoL!

[@90sNihilist]

@lorelei97394 I agree with you. The constant self-aggrandising, hypocrisy, constant attempts at projecting the most flattering and sympathetic image, taking no responsibility for what happened to her friendship with Charlie after the game and placing responsibility for its future entirely on him, the way she practically made it sound like she's a single mother... And it might be that she's being partially honest about why she voted for Kenzie: Maria could project herself on to her.

[@jacksonhart5961]

What medical accreditation do you have to diagnose this person you’ve never met as a narcissist?

[@tarapiglet]

Charlie would have voted for Maria, I think. Kenzie played a great social game, but Charlie is really a great player - I mean I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see him play again. And he still won some money, they get money for making it that far. I would rather see Charlie over Q --- Q is charismatic but Charlie is calculated and intelligent. Kenzie just made those female connections and there was empathy for her situation. But Charlie up there, final 3, with other players would have won, absolutely. But also my words to Charlie would be this, Charlie you are so handsome, so intelligent, such a seasoned Survivor player - so cheer up and don't let Maria's vote affect your life negatively. Tevin was also on the fence, and none of the final vote hinged on Maria, don't give her that much power. I loved watching you play, you were my #1 from day one. My number one!!!!! If I ever played Survivor and they ask me who my favorite player is, it's you.

[@sugarpie9492]

I thought Maria was fake after only a couple of episodes. And being 66 I have had a lot of practice figuring out weird coworkers personalities over the years. 😊 And she seemed possibly the two-faced type of girl, because she seemed smug, and too nice sometimes. Again. Fake. So it doesn't surprise me that she was bitter over getting voted off, and so she didn't vote for Charlie. Even though she told him she would. That's how two-faced people are. Yes, that's just part of the game, but it REALLY hurt Charlie's feelings. And he handled it so well at the time, even though most of us could see that he was shell-shocked. The fact that she voted for Kenzie came completely out of left field to Charlie. She said he had her vote! But now she's waffling, and changing her story, and like he said he already has plenty of friends. Now I have to watch some Maria exit interviews to see if I am right. 😛 I haven't seen any yet. I was fine with either Charlie or Kenzie winning. Charlie played the best strategic game out of the final 3 IMO. But around the merge I really started to admire Kenzie for her sunny smile through their total drought at Yanu, and her laid back approach to the game, and that she was getting to get to know the contestants. And she also had her wakeup call when she was left out of the vote, and she didn't get all pissed off. She just went to work in a better place because she realized she needed to be paying more attention. Anyway, Charlie was a delight to watch on Survivor 46. The All American boy. A Swifty. Fun loving. Genuine. Smart. And I like that he's being honest and vulnerable here. He doesn't need to save face. His integrity, loyalty and kindness have already been seen by millions. He doesn't have to scramble right now like Maria is probably doing, so he's just telling his truth. 💙

[@truly3743]

Well said!!

[@californiadreaming567]

Charlie - you will make a great Harvard lawyer because you had to think on your feet which you have to do in court. The day she bonded with W she was planning on getting you out. So why was she anger that you were going to get her out. She wasn’t expecting the backlash. She thought she could lie but her face told the truth.

[@na0pppa8881]

She was bitter but he could have been braver in the way got her out. Instead of not playing the good friend all along, which might have made her pissed first and then respect him. He was dancing around it so long and then made it seem like others voted her out, no wonder after being in pandorosa she felt like everything he was selling her was off. At the end of the day that's the game, what the people you out survived think of you and feel about you. I mean she's clearly lying in these interviews but the fact she was pissed speaks about Charlie's game.

[@BillyGollnerMusic]

This drama is just so iconic and juicy.

[@sarahmcguigan7374]

Maria showed her true colours when she didn't pick liz for the reward, Charlie was the real winner of the season

[@DK3n70]

Im loving Charlie! He should be a Taylor Swift correspondent!

[@amberjulia123]

Maria clearly has no heart - because if she did, she would understand that voting “with her heart” would = voting for her Survivor Bestie. That’s how that works. It doesn’t mean voting for someone you had no personal connection with during the game because they are more poor than your bestie or because they are the same gender as you. That’s called voting based on a MENTAL LOGIC of perceived “financial fairness” and a “personal gender bias” that has *zero* to do with the heart. But again, she wouldn’t know that because she doesn’t have one. It must hurt like hell for Charlie to hear over and over again in Maria’s interviews that her vote for Kenzie was “from the heart unlike her vote for Charlie would have been” - like, WTF? That just means that she never actually FELT anything personal or deep or genuine for Charlie. Maybe because she’s incapable. Run Charlie, RUN!

[@nikolasmoore2252]

Exactly. This wasn't a head over heart vote. If Maria had gone with her head (in terms of who played the best game) or heart (in terms of her best friend in the game) it's Charlie either way.

[@nationofcool83]

Everyone has already said this, but I want to add in on the fun! MARIA SUCKS. She is a bad person and her whole thing about being a leader for her kids... is embarrassing now. She showed them that their mother is a snake. No disrespect to Kenzie (she is worthy of winning), but if Maria was as loyal and had integrity like she claimed, Charlie would have won.

[@Ste-fawn]

Charlie is my favorite player of the new era. A genuine sweet heart and the absolute best casting choice in his archetype ever. No hyperbole at all and I'm a day one fan. .Go Charlie!

[@christinefraser5566]

I never liked Maria at all. At the end of the game, Charlie was who I thought would and should win, but I wish Hunter had stayed longer. Such a good guy.

[@hypepham]

charlie’s better than me.. i would’ve went off on maria at the after show 🤷‍♀️ zero respect for her after pulling that

[@joldc5123]

Maria was nasty, don’t ever trust her, contact her, imagine if someone had done that to one of her boys, well karma is a bitch Maria,

[@3T0EDSL0TH]

IMO Charlie has played one of the best games of survivor. The fact he kept his threat level so low to not receive a single vote until Maria and Q tried to blind side him shows how well he played. It's too bad about Maria and Q's decision. Think both of their reasons make them look really stupid.

[@trevorthetherapist4200]

21:23 Wow. Maybe tell Charlie that I will work with you and you have my vote except if Kenzie wants to have a baby 😂🎉 (Charlie, your desire to have a wife and a baby will have to wait) 😮

[@veganwaffle]

So Maria made her choice to vote for Kenzie because of reasons not at all about the game

[@RA-hx9uc]

Maria is such a victim. A painful moment? Maybe for Liz, she was hungry. Not for you. Maria is a horrible human.

[@jayjasperjp]

All of Maria’s answers sound rehearsed

[@KiaraLemmone]

What happened to fiercely loyal Maria. You told Charlie he had your vote if he made it to final 3. You answer is BS. You are just bitter and jealous that Charlie got you before you got him.

[@christinemccloskey7429]

"Great people" do not lie, deceive and stab you in te back. She commented continuously that she wanted to be a role model for her boys, but sadly, she showed them how to be a jealous and bitter sore loser.

[@robynmcconnell8624]

Look she lied the entire time she was on that island she lied about wanting to pick somebody in need to eat regarding Liz she lied to you her and q just laughing it up behind your back and then to top it off she doesn't vote for you! She is nothing but a dirty player I understand you have to play your game deceitful sometimes but you can cross the line and she crossed that line! She doesn't deserve your friendship!

[@GreyEyesGoddess]

The delulu, defensive hyperinflation of her game is almost comical

[@thefirespecialist9007]

Maria and Charlie are Enemies in real life now 😂😂😂

[@veganwaffle]

I hate the immediate after show, probably the worst decision in the new era

[@MrJJHiggs]

Only mistake Charlie made was having Maria as a friend. So called friend I should say.
