Well that tribal council had me fooled! I'd already gone through a few stages of grief by the time the votes were revealed

I ended up really enjoying this season, especially Post Merge.
I was really rooting for a Tika Final 3, I absolutely loved Carolyn, Yam-Yam and Carson together. Worthy winner, historic winner as well. I was rooting for Carolyn and I’m shocked she didn’t get a single vote, but I’m not upset by any means. |

This was my fave of the 40s seasons but I'm still not a fan of this format and Jeff these days. Too much airtime given to the same repetitive sob stories intended to inspire, the planting of fake idol kits, repetitive challenges that players practice in their backyards, the 3 tribe split
I feel like this season did slightly better at giving an insight into the strategy and alliance dynamics, but even then it was only for Tika (who thankfully were fab and entertaining). I feel bad for Carolyn. I feel like if she had more confidence and sold herself more at the final tribal she could have got votes. Franny was trying so hard to give her the push she needed 😭 Yam Yam is a deserved winner though and a great player (and person)  Love your signature Jordan

The Tika 3 stole the season for me! My winner pick was actually Carson, but I'm not disappointed at all that Yam Yam won, he played a spectacular game.
I'll agree that the sob stories are a bit much and the show needs some new and different puzzles. I enjoyed everything else. I'm so glad Jeff finally got to reveal Jamie's idol being fake, her reaction was everything I hoped for

I think this may also be my favourite season in the 40s as well.
Season 40 (All Winners): Eek. Terrible boot order and the ending was completely ruined by COVID. Season 41: I liked Season 41, especially Erica's win.. but poor editing this season and introduction to all these twists. Season 42: Another strong winner with Maryanne, however, most of my favourites in this season went right after Jury. I think I prefer this season over 41. Season 43: lol no. Season 44: Again, poor Pre-Merge but amazing season in Jury. We are used to the twists at this point so I didn't see this as unfavourable as I did for Season 41/42. Season 45 is definitely their opportunity to leave things such as Shot In The Dark and Fake Idols in the past. I do however like Knowledge is Power. My only concern - this is the only season currently filming!!!! Nothing picked up so far that I've seen for another season of Australian Survivor and South Africa. We do have the UK coming, but I wonder what the hold up is with filming other franchises.. it's not like there's going to be much on TV this fall with the Writers Strike. |

On one hand, I’m surprised just because some of the seasons were so good! On the other hand, with the allegations of Sexual Assault last season, probably best we put this on ice for a while. |

SEASON 45 IS HERE!!
What a hot mess Episode 1 was however WOW. Hannah. Ugh. I kinda liked how transparent she was with how she was struggling but yeah I won’t support a quitter. A few standouts: Austin, Emily (HOT MESS EXPRESS), Drew, Katurah, Kaleb, Sabiyah. The Lulu tribe is a mess I AM OBSESSED WITH ALL THESE LAWYERS *.* I talk to Lawyers all day long, and I feel they get a bad wrap. I’m so excited to see if they do well! |

Nice first episode! They made good use of the 90 minutes and the lack of emotional back stories for each contestant was refreshing. Lulu is my favorite dumpster fire of a tribe ever. Hannah, for what it's worth, had a great exit line as she left.
I like Kendra so far too!

I was hoping the Lulu losing streak was over when they won fruit, but I guess not.

A week late but I loved this moment so much. The pic in the tweet doesn't quite capture it but the expression on Sean's face as he said "No" was perfect <3 |

Kendra is giving Noura vibes LOL
The merge is gonna be interesting. I'm not sure if Reba + Emily and Kaleb (?) will do a pagonging of Bello though. The only real threat on Bello is Kellie. |

That episode was pure chaos and the best episode this season by far.

The Survivor Auction is back baby!!
Loved that twist where they had to earn their cash. Loved the actual Auction twist as well. By far the best twist they’ve done in this new era. Great episode overall, 2 stellar episodes back to back. The only thing that would make it better is if Bruce would just GO! |

Tremendous episode and I enjoyed the auction too! It got too predictable at the end with the person with the most money buying the next item so they wouldn't lose their vote. That was my only complaint.
Tribal was wild, somehow didn't see that coming at all! Kellie was a strong player, but it almost seemed to early to vote her out, although tbf it was only because Bruce had immunity. Also, Jeff cutting the bag of rice open!!!!! |

K they can stop with the twists every episode.
I’m running low on rootable players this season, out of the 8 left I only really like Emily and Jake. Katurah is just… there sometimes. Bruce can be next to go, followed by Julie. |

Winner: Dee
2nd: Julie 3rd: Jake 4th: Katurah 5th: Austin That’s my wishes for the final episode. Probably will never happen. I’m rooting for Dee to win, by quite a bit actually. I’ve warmed up to Julie a bit more and I think she deserves Final 3. Jake and Katurah were really a toss up for me, but Jake just edged out. I like Katurah, but she was hardly instrumental in any big game moves. I wanted her to rise like a phoenix after Bruce was gone, but she delivered nothing (game wise). |

I'm still rooting for Dee and Austin even though Austin squandered the last two tribals, his idol and his amulet. Wonder if anyone would even bother voting him out at this point. I'm just worried Dee's target might be too big to get to final three. I'll root for Jake too if he plays his idol right.
