Sexy Men From Survivor

Charlie and Austin should have won.

They are two sexy runners up though.

I would have liked if Owen, Carson and Xander won too but they got 3rd, 4th, and 3rd...

Being a sexy man on Survivor doesn't work out lately. Men in general haven't done that well since Season 40. Gabler was a horrid winner and Yam Yam was just ok. Carson getting screwed over by fire was annoying. He should have won had he got to the Final 3.

I wouldn't be surprised if another underdog female won Season 47 but we shall see.
 
Sucks that Charlie's ride or die did a massive heel turn on him.

Ben probably would have broke the tie for him if his choice of Charlie to be safe at F4 over Kenzi was any indication of who he would have sided with ultimately just a day later.

So yeah Maria certainly was NO Denise in the end.

Not that Denise had a vote since she was in the Final 3 and won the game but Malcolm voted for her and probably advocated for her a lot too.

I now almost don't feel bad that Kenzi and Liz jumped Maria at that F5 immunity challenge lol.

Now having said that, I do like Kenzi so her winning is not the worst outcome I just think Charlie played a better overall game and I really was shocked that Maria did him dirty like that.
Feel the same 100% - Absolutely love Kenz and super happy for her win... But Charlie was robbed, plain and simple!
The fact that more than one person voted based on "who would use the money well" is fucking ridiculous!
saying austin should’ve won over dee is wild, she had him wrapped around her finger
Right? Some people struggle to see past a hot body sometimes! lol
 
Charlie lowered his treat level so much that people there, not watching like us with his confessionals etc, saw him as a competent player but not as good/in charge so he had more to talk to the jury that he expected too. He kinda did that but still holding himself. When answered Hunter that he didnt felt he needed to make fire/that he just needed to be in the F3, while there is a point, It might shows that he maybe underestimed too much Kenzie/ didnt expected her social game to be a treat and that he had It on the bag (such you can see on how he was surprised with the votes).

PS: And since Charlie didnt have a major flashy move, It helped for people to give credit to Kenzie low Key strategic game such as convincing Hunter not to use his Idol, make Maria and Q feel safe that her and Liz would vote with them against Charlie etc .. Anyway, I dont mind the hottest guys not getting the million. Bigger chance for something Else to come out for us....
 
Charlie reveals conversations with Maria after controversial 'Survivor' vote

[Maria] said it was the fire in Kenzie’s eyes during the fire-making competition [for why she voted for her]. Do you buy that or do you think it was something else?

I honestly don't know. I've heard a lot of different things from Pondy, which I don't think is necessarily inconsistent with that, but honestly, it's really hard to pin down with Maria because for literally the whole last year, she's pretty much been on message with that. Obviously, we've tried to talk about this and I've tried to nurture a friendship as best I could. But yeah, I mean it's so up and down with her. Weeks after the game, she called me and told me she regretted her vote for Kenzie. She wished she voted for me. And then she came to visit Boston one time and then was saying, “Oh, I can't have any regrets, so I don't regret it anymore.”

And so I'm really just done with the whole flip-flopping of your reasons why. A couple days ago, she texted me and texted me completely new reasons about why she voted for Kenzie that she hadn't said for an entire year. So I'm pretty much just done with that type of guessing game with her. I never know if I'll get the right answer. I think I have a pretty good idea in my mind. I think she should stick to her reasons at the after-show. That's been the most consistent that she said, but it is what it is. At Pondy, I think there was a lot going on, but in my eyes, it's almost like a perfect control experiment. In the game, she left and said she was going to vote for me. Something happens in her mind at Pondy and all of a sudden that's switched up. Yeah, I've definitely done my detective work.

Maria is a duplicitous turncoat and Charlie really needs to cut ties with her.

Honestly she’s not that great with making big decisions and seems to want to do unpopular vote like not taking Liz on reward when she didn’t eat, being alligned with Q who went home with a idol and then turning on Charlie. No disrespect to Ben and Kenzie but come on Maria he was your ride or die till almost the end. Pretty expected to see their relationship go into a drain after that. Anyways those are my thoughts.

Judus' side of the story lol:

Maria Shrime Gonzalez defends her controversial 'Survivor 46' jury vote

ENTERTAINMENT WEKELY: We have to start right here. Tell me about the choice to not vote for your number one in the game, Charlie, to win Survivor and instead giving your vote and, the way it worked out with the numbers, a million dollars to Kenzie?

MARIA SHRIME GONZALEZ:
In this game, I feel like there were many times where I was torn between my heart and my head, my heart and my head. And I think that was never more clear than in the pizza reward. When I was trying to decide where my heart said pick Liz, my head said pick Q. Q's been a very loyal ally to me. What am I supposed to do? And I went with my head. When it came to that final Tribal Council, actually starting back at the fire, when I watched Kenzie make fire, there was a look in her eyes — a fierceness in her eyes of a powerful woman who overcame something. And that spoke to me so deeply in my core.

She also said, “I'm doing this for me.” And if you know anything about my story, my story of coming on the show was choosing me. My story was saying: I've put everybody ahead of me, as in motherhood, being a mom, and coming on the show is finally doing something for me. And so when those words came out of her mouth, I was stunned. And so I was going up the steps at Tribal… Charlie, Kenzie, Charlie Kenzie, head, heart, head, heart. And ultimately I chose my heart. And I feel really proud. I was one of five votes, so it wasn't just me. And it killed me to not vote for Charlie. I adore Charlie. I have the utmost respect for Charlie, but I chose my heart.

So how have those discussions been with Charlie over the past 11 months? Because I'm sure they have not been easy.

They haven't been easy, and we, I think, have a mutual respect for each other. We've had lots of moments. We've seen each other, we've visited each other. The children have met Uncle Charlie. I don't doubt that we won't be able to get past this. It's hard to watch. It's hurtful. I have been so upset just thinking about how hard this decision was for me, but I stand 10 toes down on the choice that I chose somebody who was about to start her family, who wanted to have a baby. And it spoke to me as a woman on a personal level that this is what I faced so many times in my life and I chose me, and she chose her. and that's why I chose her.

Charlie said you told him “Get to the final three so I can vote for you.”

I told him, you can see it in the water, I said, “If you get there, you've got my vote.” The thing changed when I saw that fire. It was nothing I saw coming. It triggered me on an emotional level. It triggered me on a personal level. It went beyond the game. And so like I said, there is a very fine line between choosing between your heart and choosing between your head. And I could have voted strategically. I could have voted with my heart, and I chose to vote with my heart for a woman who wanted to do something for herself for once.

We always see people deliberating with the vote. We saw it with Tevin last night up to the last second not knowing who to vote for and what to do. What about after the fact, Maria? What's it been like for you? Have you been sort of rethinking and having an internal debate? I know you had one before the vote. Have you had one after the vote?

I’ve constantly been thinking what could have been, what could have been, what could have been, but I can't live my life with regret. I can't live my life thinking I should have done this. I feel very proud that I was one of five people to give her a chance to start her family. And so when you're there in the moment — and believe me, it is not a place that I want anybody to have to sit — to sit there and have to make that choice, I think it just is such a beautiful gesture from a woman to a woman to give her this chance to start her life.

-----------

Yeah I really feel like if Charlie was a girl named Charlie then Maria would have voted for 'the female Charlie' over Kenzi in the end.

And I really don't understand how Maria let her heart overtake her head for the final vote when she was using her head for most of her other decisions.

Plus I don't really understand the whole heart/head dilemma with her vote because Charlie was her ride or die so shouldn't he check both boxes for why she should have voted for him? Heart because he was her top ally and like Kenzi is also a young person who could obviously use $1M to better his life/start a family. And he clearly checked off head because he was the most strategic. If anyone knew how strategic he was it was her since they were so close in the game. Good for Soda and Liz to actually vote for him and not vote emotionally...
