One of Probst's golden boys, Malcolm, has now slammed the show being ruined by too many twists.

Maybe there's some hope?

My very confident Survivor winner pick goes out in 8th
My very confident Tough as Nails winner pick goes out in 5th

WHAT IS HAPPENING?!

Anyway, Elizabeth has been on my radar for a backup winner pick for a while now so I say her. But it's gotta be either her or Lia. Quincy has been too inconsistent and Jerome's edit isn't nearly strong enough.

This will be only the third time since I've been watching Survivor (Pearl Islands) that I am unable to watch the finale live (the previous two were Palau and MvGX).

Because I already know I can't watch that night. Or the F6 episode, for that matter. In other words, I won't be watching Survivor as it airs until at least season 42.

I won't even be watching Survivor 42, and I doubt I'll watch Celebrity Big Brother either (if that's still happening given how the Olympics won't be airing now).

I'll begrudgingly watch tonight's episode and the finale but I can't say I'm very interested after how bad the last episode was (bottom 25 ever imho). I will see this season out but will just ignore 42's existence and hope that the sharp decline in viewership ends up getting the show to course-correct to sustain itself.

It was both the twist and contrived discussion at Tribal, what was again fabricated just so Jeff could have one of his "moments."

The twist exemplifies terrible storytelling in that they build up something meaningful and immediately bring forth a pace-killer. Not to mention the box-choosing stuff was terrible television.

Seriously, fire Jeff Probst already.

While I HATE the insistence on adding twists to every episodes, this cast has really managed to fight off the worst instincts of the producers. I've enjoyed this season (aside from a brief blip at the non-merge merge) far more consistently than the past three seasons, and at least 41 is less likely to have a disappointing ending like DvG. This might legitimately be the best season since Kaoh Rong at this point...which is admittedly an indictment on the franchise as a whole.

DeShawn is an idiot lmao

But this has been known since what like episode 1?

Xander literally coasted to F5 (I'm guessing this is the last time he can use his idol) and no one even batted an eyelash at him when he's had a known idol since the beginning of the game lol. I ain't even mad, I want him to win.

My guess is DeShawn out at F5, Ricard wins immunity F4, picks Heather for safety, Erika loses fire and IDK Xander might actually beat Ricard. I think his resume is better in the grand scheme of things.

Xander vs. Ricard as a clash-of-the-titans a la Yul/Ozzy and Wendell/Domenic would be a decent ending.

I will say that after all the talk of either a woman or POC winning, especially in the past two episodes, Xander winning would feel a little icky, but I like him and he would be a deserving winner.

The Tough as Nails F4 finished in the exact opposite order that I predicted they would, but I'm still very happy with the winner.

I don't think Xander is really all that strong in a FTC. The only pairing left that I can see him beat is Deshawn/Heather.

I'm rooting for Xander to win, but I don't think he had great relationship management.

The most likely thing I see happening is Ricard leaves at 5 because literally everyone will target him and Xander has an idol. Of the remaining four, I think it's Erika > Deshawn/Xander > Heather in terms of who is most likely to get votes.

Deshawn would have been the frontrunner until his truth kamikaze, and like I said, I think Xander may have alienated what should have been shoo-in jury votes with Tiffany and Evvie. Erika's end game has been quietly gaining a lot of traction, and I think people will respect that she's been the decisionmaker essentially since mid-merge. And obviously no one is voting for Heather.

So I think Erika is our most likely winner here.

Honestly, I think it'd be pretty lame if our first female winner in 7 seasons got such a terrible edit like Erika's (or Heather's, but lol at Heather winning). If they managed to get over 50 confessionals out of Michele in Kaoh Rong, I feel like they could've done a lot better with Erika.

i picked erika preseason just based on her location so I hope she wins!

but I picked erika so she wont

but ignoring that, my feeling is erika > xander > heather > deshawn > ricard

if deshawn makes it to the end, I think it's not a good look if he ends up getting 3 votes and both that he only got 3 votes and that he got 3 free votes, depending on how you feel about survivor and real life :thinking:

The winner is most certainly Ricard or Erika. I can't see anybody else pulling it out. But the editing this season has been confusing so they don't advertise the winner like in WAW, but it's doing so at expense of an overall narrative. It's hard to find a middle ground, so I get why they're overcorrecting. Fans complain that the editing was too predictable, they make it unpredictable. Then the fans complain about it being too confusing and incoherent, and they go back to the way it was. There's no pleasing this fandom.

I would be happy to have a female winner for the first time in a while but both women left have less than desirable edits. Erika's has nuance, sure, but the problem stems from Luvu never going to Tribal and the show bloating episodes with the Summits and advantage hunting. They did not have the time to allocate that they did for Tandang in Philippines. It's just another example of the show getting in its own way.

I still can't see anyone but Ricard winning, even if he's taken more of a step back this episode (and last, kind of)? He was so huge as part of the Shan-Ricard tandem, certainly feels like a step back after she got voted out.

All he has to do is survive F5 and then he at least has a shot at fire-making. Of course that means he really needs to win immunity at F5, but we also know there's a hidden immunity idol in the forest so that's another possibility for him. Or if there is an Erika/Heather schism where they target each other at F5.

But yeah, the editing is kind of weird, no clear front runner... will make for an interesting finale, I guess.

Winner preference for me right now would be Xander > Erika > Ricard > Deshawn > Heather. I'm just really not feeling anybody but Ricard though!

That's what I like about this season. Even if the editing has suffered narratively, mainly due to all the twist bloat, at least they've done a good job at disguising who wins.

Yeah, these.

Not clear who gets 4th at this point but Heather is probably 3rd and the person the Final IC winner chooses.
