re: Survivor 50 - Premiere 2/25/26

I would imagine so.

Hard to see a scenario where anyone is bringing him to final 3. And he sucks at the immunity challenges.

My expectation is that Tiff gets voted out next, or Aubry if Tiff wins immunity again.

Then either Joe or Johnathan win the final challenge and bring the other one to the final 3 leaving Rizo and Aubry/Tiff to make fire.

Whoever wins at fire wins it all... Johnathan runner up.

That would actually be a solid twist

I am starting to think it will be Tiff and Aubrey in the final, from the beginning episodes, neither of them got decent edits. I don't think Tiff said anything for the first 3 and was barely shown. I', not an Aubrey fan, but they keep showing her and she has been on the bottom the entire game but at least has tried to do different things with different people. I think the stubbornness of certain players has always sort of thwarted her plans has kept in in that position. No one fears a Joe vote, no one fears a Tiffany vote, she just keeps winning immunity. Jonathan is all over the place with his alliances and it is surprising no one has said; " hey let's vote Jonathan out."

You would almost hope that the producers look at the final people and say we need to shake this up. Maybe since Tiff looks like the favorite, they decide to leave it alone.

Rizztard and Aubrey haven’t done anything

What are we even talking about. Turned the tribe on Charlie early in the game. He was part of the strongest alliance in the game post merge and turned on them both at the perfect time. Has he even been on the wrong side of any vote? Do you know what kind of pulse you have to have on the game to trust your allies and not waste an idol for however many tribals he’s gone now?

Yall need to make peace with Aubry winning in a final three with Joe and Rizzo.

I hate her so much. There will not be peace. I am certain that she would drive me bonkers IRL.

Rizo will have made it to the final vote in 2 consecutive seasons, 18 tribals in 3 months and he’s never walked in without an immunity idol to his name.

Thank you. I feel like I'm on crazy pills with all the disrespect for his game. This happens on a lot seasons where I don't like a guy, but I eventually root for them because their game is impressive. He's essentially developed a strategy opposite of what everyone does with idols. Most people try to hide them, but he broadcasts it and dares people to test him.

I think if he makes final 3, he'll do a good job arguing his position. His downfall will be that his game is not well rounded, though. That was Cirie's problem. Her social game was incredible this year. She haf everyone wanting to play with her while nobody wanted her out. Her problem was once they figured that out, she was too lazy to earn immunity or search for a hidden one. Back to Rizzo, his downfall may be that he sucks at challenges and fire. He didn't have a break between seasons. So, he never had a chance to learn to make fire and right his mistake from 49.

Gotta side with Destrehan on this one. Rizo is schooling all these vets thus far. Never know how a jury plays out.. but I think he dominates as long as Aubry is gone. None of the pre-40 players have any more ties with Tiff, Johnathan, or Joe than they do with Rizo.

Yeah, I am having a very difficult time understanding an obvious argument for any other player over Rizzo at the moment.

Johnathan - Amazing specimen. However, he is not winning as many immunity challenges like he did in his first season. He is trying harder on the outwit part, but I think that might bite him more than help him. He pissed Dee off big time. I am not sure the rest of the jury will respect him either

Joe - Absolute goat (lower case) that will be dragged to the final 3. I assume nobody respects how he has played.

Aubrey - I guess she can claim that she initiated getting Ozzy out. Other than that, she has been a typical mid alliance player that has made it this far because she is not a threat.

Tiff - Tiff has a real argument. She has been great in challenges. She does seem to be influencing things when it comes to votes. My reservation is the fact that they barely showed her the entire first half of the season. So, that makes me assume she is not getting the good edit for a reason.

Rizo - Has ingratiated himself with veteran players like Colby (doesn't really matter at this point), Ozzy, Dee, and Cirie. There was an argument in this thread that he doesn't need his idol because he is not a threat. I will disagree. There are discussions about voting for him, but it always comes down to that idol. For the second season in a row, he is playing it masterfully. Arguments against him are numerous, though. Sucks in challenges. Doesn't do anything at camp (neither did Cirie, and people loved her). There can also be an argument that he greatly benefited from playing back to back seasons. Nobody knew what his game looked like, and they knew he wasn't a winner. So, he was able to fly under the radar and use the same strategy as before.

He is a good talker when he is by himself talking to the camera when he has had time to gather his thoughts. I’m not convinced that translates as well when he is in a group setting and he will have to prove he can respond to questions without coming across as arrogant about his game play.
