Your read on Jem was terrifyingly accurate to the last atom it’s impressive because she’s not a visible player or a gimmicky one so bravo man like fr 👏
Yk, what would be an interesting survivor topic to talk about. The fallen comrades walk. You should do a video highlighting moments from that time or do a top 5 on that topic because it’s one of those moments that was really special to the old era of survivor.
lol Jeff hated this segment (said so in the survivor podcast) and I always fast forwarded this part. regardless, Jeff said no desire for it to ever come back
It’s really only interesting if any of the finalists ever actually met the “fallen comrades” in question We have plenty of seasons where the final 2/3 was all from the same starting tribe and thus never even met these people, Mary being a notable example
Honestly I am fine with this being gone. The only time I ever even was remotely entertained by it was Russell roasting everyone on his walk to defeat. When I rewatch old seasons I skip thIs part with no hesitation. It is genuinely one of the only old school things Survivor got rid of that I didn’t mind. Parv, Amanda, and Cirie exclaiming they didn’t know Mary is also funny but that is only because of the “who is Mary” meme
This season in particular really makes me wish they did the old reunions or at least brought the pre merge players back for the aftershow. Like Bhanu and Jelinksy were such iconic characters and the fact that only Tiff, Kenzie, and Q got to actually know them sucks.
I haven’t really done first round picks in a while, but I did successfully call Ben and Nick from HHH and DvG, and came really close with Dominic from GI and David from MvGX
I think a cool video idea would be survivor players that were “dead in the water”. Like a player made a move that made other players so mad they were unwilling to work with them and it destroyed their game. An Example would be Mike from season 30 when he didn’t buy the letter from home right away and everybody hated him for it and didn’t trust him. I know he went on to win any way but just an example.
I think your Bhanu prediction was spot on actually. I know a lot of people I watched the season with that were crushed when he left the game. Sure the online survivor community seem to find him annoying and embarrassing, but I think he won a few more hearts than we’re giving him credit for.
He was definitely an interesting character. With that said, I was so happy when he finally got voted out. If he were on my tribe I think I would have lost my mind 😂
I’ve seen some people take issue with how Q, Tiff, and Kenzie dealt with him, saying that they were too harsh. Like I was beyond over the man after being exposed to him for only an hour a week from the comfort of my own couch, while being well fed and rested. I can’t even begin to imagine how those three were coping being on that island with him, day in and day out, while constantly losing, barely sleeping, starving, and having the added stress of trying to win a million dollars.
@@jennatodd4664Q ultimately made the smarter decision going with Tiff and Kenzie over Jess and Bhanu (even if he saw them as the Phillip and Natalie to his Boston Rob), because desperately trying to carry them to the end would’ve been impossible with Jess’ lack of sleep and Bhanu’s constant meltdowns
Bhanu is either this really tragic narrator who was in over his head and never could really get his foot in the game or he was a mess that certain people think represents everything wrong with modern Survivor
just realizing how many polarizing characters this season had -- in addition to bhanu (who was probably the single most polarizing character in a hot minute) we also had venus, liz, q, maria (post final tribal voting anyways), soda, tevin ,,,,
I think your read on me was incredibly accurate, the edit just showed me looking very unaware and delusional. GREAT tv, but not wholly accurate. I cried a lot at the end, because I knew I needed to get to the end to state my case…or else I look like the fool. We all saw how that went. Playing the fool is a risky move that didn’t play out for me. Sad the audience didn’t get to see.
5:40 I think Randen actually WOULD have gone home first, the core of Nami was basically Soda, Tevin, and Hunter with Liz as an auxiliary non threatening addition Tevin’s secret alliance with Venus would have very likely been enough to protect her over Randen who was also labeled as an outsider by Hunter, so really he only makes the merge if Nami wins their way to the merge which they luckily did
I think Randen would have been the third person on that tribe to go home as we know from post game that Tevin would have turned on soda and voted her out if they went to tribal. And then Venus would also go put before him as we also know that tevin and randen were actually pretty close on the island.
@@nizzle428 depends on when they actually go to tribal, if it’s the early days Venus or Randen is gonna go out for being shady Soda only really got targeted since she’d be a huge threat if she made the merge, roughly after Jess was voted out
My prediction of winners was Maria and Tiffany. Happy with it cause I was choosing one from purple and chose tiff thinking she was better positioned and chose one from Maria and Charlie duo
Is there an instagram's favorite? side note: I believe Hunter was also reddit's favorite, quite a few people on there hated Q but I rarely found a negative comment about Hunter, oh and I also believe Venus was facebook's most hated
No I think Q was the favourite. So so so many memes. It was definitely either Q or Jelinsky. Hunter was the favourite of the edgic side of reddit for like 6 episodes before everyone switched to Kenzie.
A fun topic might be "copycat alliances" as seen in this season with Charlie/Maria & Malcom/Denise. How theyre similar and where thr trope falls short?
i've come to peace with kenzie's win but i'm still salty abt how raw of a deal jess got (and how thoroughly terrible it sounds like the experience was for her)
Bhau for me was somewhere between heartbreaking and annoying. His story tugged on my heartstrings. But he was ~terrible~ at playing the game of Survivor. I would’ve been terribly annoyed with him if he was in my alliance/tribe. By the time he was voted out I was like FINALLY. Kenzie was my pick from the start and I’m glad I was able to get one right in the new era.
Charlie, like Spencer, trusted a mom who didn't subscribe to the mom role yet Maria called him "uncle charlile" (kid got played) also instead of Malcolm and Denise why not Cochran and Dawn hmmm tbh even Tina and Colby
I felt you were kind of off the mark with Hunter. His social game wasn’t very good. He seemed comfortable and didn’t try to connect with anyone other than Q. And strategically, he didn’t seem to offer much at all. I thought he was a lesser player than he thinks.
Intro easter eggs: Moriah - FAST drowning / Acqua in bocca Tim - Holding on too long to Siga Jem - Got carried (with Siga digging) / Too confidednt (IDOL IN POCKET) Ben - (?) Can't keep it up / Exaustion Charlie - (?) Backstab/Idol play Maria - (?) Battled Charlie openly / got BAMBOOzoled Jess - "No one is home" face Bhanu - A mess, crying Jelinsky - Mud and sand... just the worst Tiffany - Collapsed in challenge, Holding to BIG public idol (IDOL IN POCKET) Q - Charlie (&Ben) on his blindside / sweating in Tribals(IDOL IN POCKET) Kenzie - (?)

Poor Charlie was so devastated he didn't win for the reunion segment. It was completely written all over his face. The fact that Q and Maria said they voted for Kenzie over Charlie because of her story and what she was going to use the money for pretty much ruined the entire season for me. Players need to vote based off of game play and nothing else. Voting for someone based on their outside life/story will completely ruin the game of Survivor imo.
People often forget that Survivor is so much more than just a strategy game. Its much more faceted than that. You could play the best game in the world but none of that matters unless you know how to handle your jury with social relationships. Its been a thing since the first season of Survivor and as long as humans have emotions, its most likely never leaving.
Apparently Randen was the person who convinced Tevin to flip on Soda, so I’m pretty sure if he stayed in the game he would actually be positioned pretty nicely with Soda and Venus being targets over him
I don’t think Jess was really THAT bad physically, she just really stands out in her tribe with Kenzie as being the 2 weak women of the tribe And with the New Era meta, physically strength is very often a ticket to the merge
everyone hated ben online from what I saw and we saw, and in hindsight you calling him sincere his hilarious given how quickly we saw his act fall apart especially with Q
I really liked Kenzie and haven’t run into seeing anyone online disliking her like you predicted so I feel like you should’ve gotten half a point for her
“unlike Maria with her final tribal vote, i’ll be true to my word…” 27:00
💀
I BURST OUT LAUGHING THAT WAS SO SAVAGE
3:22 “I’d give myself a full point here, even though honestly, I should get several”
100%, Idoled Out, 💯
💯💯💯🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥
Naw, 77%
Your read on Jem was terrifyingly accurate to the last atom it’s impressive because she’s not a visible player or a gimmicky one so bravo man like fr 👏
"Don't get idoled out"
Pretty easy if no one plays their idol!
Lol 🤣
Yk, what would be an interesting survivor topic to talk about. The fallen comrades walk. You should do a video highlighting moments from that time or do a top 5 on that topic because it’s one of those moments that was really special to the old era of survivor.
I wish they’d find a way to streamline that segment for modern seasons.

fwiw i get the vibe the majority of casts get to know each other pretty well post season
Kenzie restored my faith in going with my first picks! Sure it’s the first time I called a winner but I’ve always been so close!
I haven’t really done first round picks in a while, but I did successfully call Ben and Nick from HHH and DvG, and came really close with Dominic from GI and David from MvGX

Chanelle and Daniel from 42 fit this
Ben in HHH after the first idol fits too
arguably venus this last season
Mike from Worlds Apart
Yup did not like mike
Honestly, you revisiting your analysis is my favorite part of the finale
Charlie without his beard looks so young lol. And that Maria joke…😂
“Please don’t yell at me Liz” 😂
I think your Bhanu prediction was spot on actually. I know a lot of people I watched the season with that were crushed when he left the game. Sure the online survivor community seem to find him annoying and embarrassing, but I think he won a few more hearts than we’re giving him credit for.
He was definitely an interesting character. With that said, I was so happy when he finally got voted out. If he were on my tribe I think I would have lost my mind 😂
Agreeed . Full point was deserved
Do you think Tevin and Bhanu did the Clark Griswold in Christmas Vacation rant when Sia cancelled the Sia Award
Your pre-season analysis of Hunter actually describes Charlie's game to a T
Bhanu was not heartbreaking. He was 100% cringe
yeah by the time he actually got voted out, i had lost any sympathy i had for him. i really grew to dislike him.
I’ve seen some people take issue with how Q, Tiff, and Kenzie dealt with him, saying that they were too harsh.
Like I was beyond over the man after being exposed to him for only an hour a week from the comfort of my own couch, while being well fed and rested.

I haven’t wanted a player to be voted out more from recent seasons than him
Bhanu is either this really tragic narrator who was in over his head and never could really get his foot in the game or he was a mess that certain people think represents everything wrong with modern Survivor

I drafted Kenzie first and she was my pick to win after just looking at cast photos. Maybe I’m a wizard 🧙♀️
I’d love to be a contestant just to see what award Luke would give me
this is my exact thought every time i watch these lmao. and to hear what they say about me on the on fire podcast
5:40

@@randomperson-pj4jti think it depends on when they go to tribal, soda for example i don't think was a target until the third or fourth tribal
Randen did a good job of turning tevin against soda though
@@nizzle428 depends on when they actually go to tribal, if it’s the early days Venus or Randen is gonna go out for being shady
Soda only really got targeted since she’d be a huge threat if she made the merge, roughly after Jess was voted out
Definitely made me laughed out loud a few times. Thanks!

It was definitely either Q or Jelinsky. Hunter was the favourite of the edgic side of reddit for like 6 episodes before everyone switched to Kenzie.
BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
Both Charlie and Carson.... You're underestimating the young super fans lol
Hey man, I love your videos!
A fun topic might be "copycat alliances" as seen in this season with Charlie/Maria & Malcom/Denise. How theyre similar and where thr trope falls short?
Jess was done so dirty by her tribe. I'd like to see her get another chance.
Nah Liz deserves a full point. She was very well liked and would've been in the final 3 Nami if they ended up the disaster tribe.
And according to her, she would have beat all y’all.
Yknow how I feel about Liz not getting the full point she deserves?!?!? “I’m Pissed!!!!!!!”
MORIAH WAS ON WIPEOUT!? WHAT
What a wild and great season. But Bhanu was the worst, and really dragged down the first few episodes. So glad he went early.
not early enough lmfao
His read on these players was so spot on I’m shocked.
Jess. Most likely to win. So relatable cause I predicted her as a competitor before the start of the game. Kenzie and Tiff did her dirty.
Exactly!!!!
i've come to peace with kenzie's win but i'm still salty abt how raw of a deal jess got (and how thoroughly terrible it sounds like the experience was for her)
Pretty good run
After watching, I understand and agree with most of this, but I'm desperate to know, where is Luke getting all this Facebook data from??
#TeamVenus
Bhau for me was somewhere between heartbreaking and annoying. His story tugged on my heartstrings. But he was ~terrible~ at playing the game of Survivor. I would’ve been terribly annoyed with him if he was in my alliance/tribe. By the time he was voted out I was like FINALLY.

10:14 if you watched the episode you would know her partner carried
I always think you're too harsh on yourself with these I would be awarding more half points or first points if it were me!! let us vote next time lmao

Well Jeff says to the jury "vote for the person YOU think deserves to win" not "vote who played the best game"
@@Iuke66 "deserves" would clearly imply who deserves to win the game based off their play, not outside life
Then go on Survivor to vote for the best gameplay
@@AlphaRomeoOneFive if the jury wants to vote kenzie then they can do so

pretty easy cast to read haha, predictable ( besides Q and liz )
hunter my robbed king
Apparently Randen was the person who convinced Tevin to flip on Soda, so I’m pretty sure if he stayed in the game he would actually be positioned pretty nicely with Soda and Venus being targets over him
What show were you watching? Everyone loved Kenzie!
not jess fans :P
dont dis jelegend
Jess was more like Gillian (Gabon) and Wendy Jo (Nicaragua).
I don’t think Jess was really THAT bad physically, she just really stands out in her tribe with Kenzie as being the 2 weak women of the tribe
And with the New Era meta, physically strength is very often a ticket to the merge
@@XanderMatthews-nv9zf i think puzzles carrys more then physically being strong
Jess cursed the idles
I dunno dude, seemed liked you deserved full or at least half a point on your Jess read!
When does this start
q
everyone hated ben online from what I saw and we saw, and in hindsight you calling him sincere his hilarious given how quickly we saw his act fall apart especially with Q
Congratulations Kenzie! She is so adorable.
I really liked Kenzie and haven’t run into seeing anyone online disliking her like you predicted so I feel like you should’ve gotten half a point for her
Idk bout Liz .. saying she’d be self aware is automatic -1 point. I’m going to put a hole in this rice bag until you decide to change that score
first
Ben was annoying, not sure who considers him a favorite.
I do! Idk how anyone could find him annoying!
Yeah, feels weak, no real character
Ben was like my favorite! Dude rocked on!
Dissing Pepsi Blue? *clicks dislike*
Mannnn you were way too nice on your point tally this time
Another poor winner in game terms. Kensie did very little other than outlast.
I found Ben annoying
You’re obviously a bully, same as Q!!!
that doesn't rock 😔
This does not rock.
Girl, whaaaaaat? How?
Lol who cancelled my comment, nvm Christmas
Was the worst survivor I've Seen 😢😂
Jesus, is everybody freaking gay now? SMH
