Survivor 46 came to an end last night with a satisfying finish.
The sob stories were minimal.
There were no overboard twists and advantages.
Just some good blindsides and good gameplay from good players.
It’s hard to give it a ranking already.
For me, it’s probably middle of the road in that 20-25 range.
But I overall enjoyed it a lot.
-Let me start by saying that Kenzie is a very deserving winner.
-That being said, I personally thought that Charlie played a better game.
That was proved when his bond with Ben got him chosen to go to FTC and avoid fire.
He really got screwed by Maria turning out to be a bitter juror and just pretty shitty person.
I hope Charlie cuts her out of his life entirely and never speaks to her again.
They played basically the same game except for the fact that Charlie bested her in the end.
She was clearly pissed by that and took it out on him in the end.
He was very classy and mature about it at the reunion show even when the feelings were fresh.
It’s the most polite “she can fuck off” I’ve ever seen.
She literally cost him a million dollars as Ben said he would’ve voted for Charlie with the tie-breaker.
He’s handling it a lot better than I would so respect to him.
But overall this just completes Maria’s villain arc.
-I did not care for the jury at Final Tribal Council at all.
I thought they were rude and tried too hard to make the show about them.
That’s the problem with the open forum format.
Everyone just talks over each other and tries to have their moment.
I feel like we barely heard Ben, Kenzie, and Charlie speak to defend their game.
Not having opening statements is asinine.
I also hated Q’s question of how they’d spend the money.
And giving Kenzie so much credit for beating LIZ in a fire-making challenge is crazy.
Despite its name, Survivor is a social game, it’s not a survival show.
I really don’t give a fuck who can spark a flame the fastest.
-I don’t really have much to say about Ben but he was there I guess.
It was nice he got his moment winning the final challenge.
But luckily for him, he was with nice people who cared about him and helped out.
-And lastly, we obviously have to talk about Liz.
One of the most unique players we’ve seen on the show in a long time, maybe ever.
I don’t have a problem with it.
If it happened to me, I’d probably say something different.
But I don’t blame Liz for taking advantage of a loophole within the rules.
It just added to Liz’s lore.
I will say that I don’t think Liz played a bad game at all.
I’m kind of mad we were robbed of that moment.
-Overall, last night was a satisfying finish to a strong season.
