Liz has no self awareness.

It was hard to believe she was so out of touch to be convinced she would have won if she got in front of the jury. She said multiple times she was already a millionaire but was brought to tears and anger when she got the boot.

Ben never had a chance. Charlie is going to use his Harvard education to make millions and will look back at the game as a fun adventure. The money will change Kenzie’s life but did her game play deserve the win over Charlie?

yeah, frick maria

Disappointing ending to an otherwise great season.

Liz is legit crazy. And her helping Kenzie should be seen as cheating.

Venus was never going to vote for a man to win. Unless there were 3 men at the end. Her whole game was "get the men out".

Q and Maria voting for Kenzie is just sad.

Maria was just bitter that Charlie beat her. " when i saw the fire in her eyes" she was literally crying during the fire making.

Q, i like her story better. where does story fit in the Outlast, Outwit, Outplay theme?

Tiff all but said during the pre vote segment that she was voting for Kenzie so, final tribal meant nothing.

Liz voting for Charlie after helping Kenzie win a challenge was surprising.

Charlie got robbed. And Jeff pointing out that he looked mad/sad/ whatever after the vote. Was he supposed to be happy?

The Q not playing his idol was bad for the game; until Ben won the immunity. Ben screwed everything up. He should have realized he couldn't beat either Kenzie or Charlie, so you put them against each other in fire or you try the fire challenge.

He basically gave Kenzie what she needed to win. Her, Ben and Liz were essentially carried along the whole game, and they and the jury admitted it.

I think Maria pissed off so many people that if she goes up against Charlie in the final she loses. She beats everyone else. She may have been Charlie's only shot to win the jury.

I think he lost to Kenzie because he was looked at as Maria's tag along. If he goes against the girls, it is expected he would win the fire. He would then need to explain his game more. Fire may have been the only way he or Ben had a shot against Kenzie.

I kept telling my wife, Charlie really needs to go against Kenzie. Beat her and then no one is voting Liz and Ben over Charlie. He could have convinced Ben to do that. Charlie had an exaggerated view of his game as well. He was looked at as a pawn most of the game. If you look back at it, Kenzie saved herself from the bottom and won some challenges. The jury viewed her as an equal to Charlie.

Ben’s interview on the Probst podcast was good. He said if the final vote was tied and he had to cast the tiebreaker, he would have voted for Charlie. He went on to give a better recap of Charlie’s game than Charlie gave at Final Tribal. Ben acknowledged Kenzie’s compassion and humanity but valued loyalty over that.

Charlie was gracious in his interview but said it was “brutal” to learn Maria voted for Kenzie, especially since Maria promised to vote for Charlie if she was on the jury.

Kenzie endured the awful first 11 days without fire and had to babysit Banhu so I don’t think she was totally undeserving. Also, she’s married and pregnant now so I wish her well.

Everyone talks about what a great player Maria was but she blew the endgame and was lining up to make the cowardly move of taking Q to Final Tribal with her. She was bitter at getting outplayed and felt entitled.

Charlie will live a good life and that will soothe his wounds.

Also, I want to chime in on the final challenge. I don't know if it is a gender thing, but my wife was ok with it while everyone on here seems to be aligned with me. I guess I don't blame Liz for what she did. I mostly blame Jeff. She should not be allowed to do that. Would they let Liz push from behind Kenzie in the mud net to help her through? I doubt it.

My wife argued that Liz was out of it so it made sense. However, Liz could have easily read Kenzie's puzzle, counted her own puzzle pieces, then tried to get a range for the geckos, then gone to look at her own plank. It wasn't out of the question.

Again, just a few things that left a bad taste in my mouth in what was a good season.

need to have walls like they do sometimes in Big Brother where you can't see what the others are doing.

she won the challenge because she went up against someone who is as incompetent as they are crazy.

I just think it only helped Kenzie and not Liz, seeing as from a viewer perspective Liz was an entirely uncompetitive player anyways and didn’t have anything to gain.
