WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON WITH VENUS

i just wanna shout out to charlie, who is 25, for reacting so maturely to losing $1 million by one vote. Not only did he immediately hug her, but preemptively praised Kenzie and justified her win after he's processing his emotions with finding out his closest ally didn't vote for him.

Meanwhile, Liz, a 35 year old woman with a child, is rolling her eyes at Q and other's response during the post-game interview. and immediately reacts to losing fire by gesturing at throwing tomatoes and immediately saying "tomato tomato", not allowing kenzie to be excited for her victory

okay but ben name dropping carolyn as his inspiration for coming out on the show and why being a zero-vote finalist doesn't mean you haven't had any impact on the game. my favorite thing in the finale maybe? like i hope carolyn out there knows exactly how loved she is by the people who played with her, the people who played after her, and the fans. god i still love carolyn

"I hope getting to this point in a safe way doesn't hurt you"

IT SHOULDN'T. NO ONE SHOULD JUST BE EAGER TO GO INTO FIRE. IT'S STUPID.

#HATE FIRE

#THIS IS SO REAL I GET SO PISSED ABOUT IT

ben crumbling under the weight of needing to make the first decision he's ever had to make in 20+ days

LIZ THINKS SHES A THREAT

[1ts-a-fuck1ng-st1ck]

everyone's so obsessed with the flex of not needing to play their idol that they go home with the idol

[1ts-a-fuck1ng-st1ck]

i’m so glad jess put a curse on all those idols

[1ts-a-fuck1ng-st1ck]

Sick of the Kenzie is a good person propaganda. I’m not buying it.

Here's my hot take on what the Hell is going on with idols:

It's a symptom of late-stage Survivor where, instead of people competing to see if they can survive on an island, it's people competing to win a game show they've been watching and analyzing for 20 years.

Once upon a time, an idol was a random, superfluous bonus that players were grateful to find and use to guarantee one more day. In the modern perception of Survivor as this massive, convoluted game of 4th dimensional chess where every single move must be considered relative to every potential outcome, idols have become a forgone conclusion factored into the step-by-step strategy machine. Look at how many times we've seen survivors saying "I HAVE to find an idol for my game." It's become representative of potential and situated as this necessary piece of each player's convoluted gameplan. As a result, the idea of the idol in the context of The Game of Survivor has overwhelmed its practical utility as a basic freebie.

tl;dr Modern players are over-thinking idols to the point of self-sabotage in the name of sTrAtEgY.

I propose next season is all contestants who have never watched a single episode of Survivor lol

#my addition to this: #people saw maryanne pull out her idol at ftc and thought “oh i could do that and look like a boss” #and forget the point of it was that she DIDNT need to use it #THEY NEEDED TO USE IT BUT THEY WANTED TO PUFF UP THEIR RESUMES FOR FTC

some dude on survivor outed another survivor who happened to be trans and called it “deception” like this was some damn soap opera and everyone was like ”lmao that’s personal and not your fucking problem?” and the host immediately said “We don’t need to vote, just grab your torch” and had him kicked off. that’s some instant fucking karma.

#one thing the outer turned out to be very anti trans. the whole lgb without the t bulkshit
