Survivor - Day 23 Tribal Council Voting

[@Billsomebody89]

Wow, five players went home with an idol in their pocket. That's a record 🎉

[@logansmith2703]

4 in a row even...

[@almi8151]

Bruh the lack of idol playing is almost surreal

[@paulcooper8818]

Maria keeping Q's idol secret actually helped this blindside

[@1SCme]

*Rank your Survivor 46 Dumb Pocketed Idols,* 1 = dumbest *1. Q* - Kenzie, Liz, Ben aren't going to target Charlie, they aren't likely to tell Maria he's the target, and definitely aren't going to tell Q. *2. Hunter* - He knew he was short on allies (only connected with Tevin, Liz only because he caught food for her), was a likely target as a challenge threat then for his idol, if you have an idol they will tell you the opposite of the vote direction. *3. Venus* - Knew she was a target, Maria-Ben-Charlie aren't going to give up Q, an ally they can dump at will starting the next TC. Venus and Hunter were neck and neck. *4. Tiff* - This is more from her Q tunnel vision, not considering others splitting their vote. *5. Jen* - Forgivable, she thought she was in an alliance of women + Charlie (Charlie must be extremely personable).

Liz proved before she can put animosity behind and not vote for Q, so I can see why he thought it was possible. What DOESN'T make sense is Maria KNOWING what Charlie was doing and yet not letting Q know. Maybe they thought they could go one more round and save it for F5, but man that was the worst move for them.

[@1SCme]

@@BladeBlur*Liz didn't put anything behind,* she voted with the majority to prevent a tie, when she should have voted with the majority for cover, give Tiff a heads up to boot Q, flush the idol, and keep jury goat low challenge threat man targeting Venus in the game. *Maria told Q he was a target,* he would get votes, but ridiculously believed Kenzie-Liz would boot Charlie before Q. *Maria's best move* was to tell Q to play his idol, vote Q, but tell Q to vote Kenzie to split from Ben, trying to keep Ben-Charlie vote - let Q take credit for the big move an eliminating an enemy, Q remains the primary target - chance to preserve Siga - focus on scooping up isolated Liz after TC telling her Q and Maria are the only players she can win against with the jury, time to play with her head to win and not for 2nd or 3rd (at best). - do her best to convince Ben that they're playing for 2nd behind Charlie. - final 5 targets become Q and Charlie, she hopes to find 1 Charlie vote to protect Q. *Maria was hoping* Charlie would exit, either she would win final 5 or Q would win and play his idol for her. *Q shouldn't have thrown out Charlie's name,* should have said nobody has given him a name yet, push them that if they are coming to him, they need to name who they wanted to target Maria-Charlie-Ben, then tell Maria-Charlie-Ben (they would have said Charlie).

[@TheLetter_Z]

Personally I'd swap Venus and Tiff. Everyone knew Tiff had an idol, and SHE knew she'd be a prime target because of it, especially with Hunter and his idol now gone. Not to mention her own "personal rule" of playing an idol as soon as she needs to. Venus at least thought she had Kenzie and a pissed off Liz on her side, and believed she convinced Charlie that she'd be worth keeping for another vote.

[@1SCme]

@@TheLetter_Z I went back and forth between Tiff and Venus, could list out more reasons for both. I think Venus did have Kenzie, lost her when Charlie stuck with voting off Venus. Venus trusting Charlie who she had previously targeted out of nowhere, after promoting a boot all men strategy, Charlie having inroads with everyone (flag he's lying), were big factors.

[@itacryan]

At this point lesson learned. Do not find an idol or you’re gone. This is the first time this has happened since season 32 no idols were played.

[@captaintalon4485]

Or stop being comfortable

[@1SCme]

These are just dumb non-plays, idol holders aren't considering others will tell them the opposite - they're a target if they aren't to get them to play their idol, someone else is a target if they're the real target to get them to pocket their idol.

[@matt010288]

An idol was play correctly by Jess. Unfortunately it was fake and didn’t count. The only correct idol play this season and it wasn’t even a real idol.

[@HMPstaff]

still got f5 to play idols

[@itacryan]

@@HMPstaffu sure?

[@Geo_mmm]

These players this season must be hoping they can hold off on using their idol which is just a terrible idea. They should use that idol like an immunity necklace to guarantee their future in the game

[@TealSide]

How do you not play your idol at the 6 when you hear your name coming up?

[@eugenewilliams426]

Incredible

[@glenslick2774]

Finally, so long Q-nise.

[@1SCme]

I don't like Q on any level, but I was hoping he would play his idol just to hear the screams across the nation, and watch every cast member's jaw hit the floor simultaneously. There really wasn't a reason for Q not to play this round.

[@christinaruiz3571]

When are you going to comment on the fact that everyone who's had an idol gets voted out with their idol in their pocket 😂

[@TheBBallEnthusiast]

The only two people really playing this game to win are Maria and Charlie. Idk why Kenzie, Liz, or Ben are targeting Q. I get it, they don't like his game but Charlie said it best in this episode; there is a reason he doesn't shut the door on any alliance because if he did, he would've been gone tonight. At least this season's finale will be relatively predictable (at least in the first half of the finale)

[@theresahvassman9965]

Love Q

[@bngr_bngr]

How many people have been voted out this season with an idol in their pocket?

[@fourtime7]

He really had a shot to win. Like your name be coming out every tribal. Have safety and don’t play it. Unbelievable.

[@leafycrossing4755]

It was either Charlie or Q tonight and there was a clear, MASSIVE target on Q.

[@1SCme]

I have to think someone warned Charlie he was a target, in which case he should have used his SITD just in case.

[@kadag2968]

@@1SCme wait did Charlie have an advantage?

[@1SCme]

@@kadag2968 Everyone has SITD until final 5.

[@kadag2968]

@@1SCme lol sorry I got it. I thought he has something other than that.

[@1SCme]

@@kadag2968 No problem. I forget - *have any advantages or SIRD been played this season?* There had to at have been a SITD someplace along the line. For a cast focused on making a big move, they don't do anything to make a big move, except vote out their allies and keep their enemies.

[@cowboycrushfan]

FINALLY! CHARLIE FOR THE WIN!

[@1SCme]

Possibly short lived. Ben-Kenzie and challenge fodder jury goat Liz have inside track to the final 4. Maria is everyone else's main target now, immunity or jury. Maria will vote Charlie again, Liz and Kenzie will pile on if Maria has immunity.

[@Steelers2]

@@1SCmeBen and Liz are goats so if they manage to both make finals whoever is not them wins

[@Steelers2]

@@1SCmeI think Maria deserves to win

[@RickGods]

What? Another souvenir? What is going on with this players!

[@Tommy0220]

Applebees the real winner

First! Love you, Q!!💕
