That was so disappointing.

Aubry sucks.

Johnathan played better all season and destroyed her at final jury (at least based on what we saw) but they voted for her because they were friends beforehand.

Should have voted her out at 5 like I said a few pages ago. Tiff was a nothing just like Joe.

Tiff would have won then. This was my first ever season watching but it seemed like all of the younger players + Cirie were voting for a woman.

Not if she got beat at fire.. but yeah maybe if she made final 3.

Just a disappointing season overall.

Way to ruin a great season


This season was awful the whole way through. Devens is the only person that did anything memorable all season. And Ozzy being the dumbest MF to ever play the game.

It’s actually hard to believe how bad this season was with the potential it had.

This series has some soul searching to do


First thing they need to do is quit bringing back the career reality show participants. Go back to having new ones each season.

Yeah the biggest issue with survivor right now is that the way Aubrey played is basically the perfect way to actually win. But it also makes for really bad TV bc she effectively did nothing and simply won by being there at the end and liked by everyone
The problem is there are enough types of people on these casts that respect that style because it’s the same type of game they try to play. Enhancing the bad TV.

I enjoyed this season, though.

Exactly!

This final tribal q&a session was a mess. The returning players are so comfortable that they continue to interrupt people either asking or answering questions. And some of them aren't even asking questions, they are making statements campaigning for or against people in the final 3.

I don't mind bringing people back, but it needs to be stacked up evenly.

All people on their second season, not some on their second time and some on their fifth that have made the reality TV rounds.

I wonder if Jonathan would have gone harder at Aubrey in the final tribal if he knew how the vote was going to go. I could see holding back because it may look bad if you are mean, but he probably should have called out her non existent game. He also should've asked the jury to vote for the best player and not their friend. Ask them if they can go to bed tonight comfortably with who they decide to vote for.

Also, it may be time to get rid of the final 3. The third person rarely gets votes. It's like the NFL moving back the extra point. When it becomes unnecessary, it's time to change it up. I don't know the solution, but something needs to change. I feel for the person who gets 0 votes and has to sit there with a stupid smile.

Overall, I think this version of Survivor has run its course. The Producers have moved more towards gimmicks and plot twists than an actual game.

It definitely needs some soul searching.

Please stop bringing back past players, but they won't. It's how they generate buzz and ratings.

Too many idols and stupid twists. How about more rewards and more physical challenges.

Too much Jeff and his Botox face. it didn't even move last night.

I never liked the final questions, but it has gotten to be a real "shite show" now. They also need to go back to two possible winners. They have basically given up on the idea that these people are "surviving". Hell, the only one who lost weight this season was Rizo and only because he just got back from the last season. Every time they showed Jonathan he was eating some rice in the last two episodes. That is ridiculous.

I also think that the producers see the social part as what sells, the challenges will be marginalized more and more. It will eventually get to a bunch of people sitting around, kind of like Big Brother.

I saw no difference between Aubry and Rizzo play. But I guess the name of the game is to Out Last which she did. As disappointing as Aubry winning was, it still doesn't top Cassandra's wins. But somehow she was won twice and is still the most disappointing wins ever.

Apparently he was also sick the whole time and was constantly in medical... which is partly why he didn't do shite around camp. We didn't see any of that though.

Hated it. I’ve always said, go back to original Survivor. No rewards, no twists, one idol. Early season(s) Survivor. 39 days again too.

I like Stephanie a lot, but I think her statement about Johnathan hurt him with the other jury members. It was obvious they did not like her promoting him as the “total package.”

Ultimately, I think the jury members give more credit to a finalist that faced adversity, from being a target, and survived. The jury members see their own failure and want to give credit to someone that did what they could not. They do not give credit to immunity challenge winners as they deem safety at tribal as a luxury.

Hopefully this was the last we see of Coach, Cirie and Rizzo!

As others have stated it’s time for a fresh new cast. Go back to more of the core gameplay, modern survivor has become big brother on an island.

People keep saying this like they do returning player casts all the time, This was the first cast with returning players since season 40, which was filmed in 2019.
