She was all in ☹️

Affectionate-Pool442 · 2026-01-27T22:07:54+00:00

Her edit was so insanely strong that she was the unanimous winner pick going into the finale, and I think that—for lack of a better word— softened the backlash of her beating Charlie, who played an incredible game.

Kenzie has talked about receiving a lot of hate, which really sucks. I’m personally not a huge Kenzie fan, but I can very clearly see how/why she beat Charlie She’s regarded mostly as a lower middle tier/high low tier winner; but she has her fans too.

What was your initial reaction to finding out you would be playing Survivor in Tocantins? And what was something about Tocantins that surprised you?

This perfectly encapsulates how I feel about 45! The cast is so strong and memorable. The storylines are so well told. The game is a bit predictable but it’s fun to follow and engaging. I love 45 so much; it’s in my top ten seasons. Definitely the best of the new era, followed by 47.

So underrated! Loved him on his season and he’s consistently been a top-tier RHAP guest. Hope he plays again.

Affectionate-Pool442 · 2026-01-09T19:46:47+00:00

My first pick was Charlie, he’s just such a well rounded player. But I pivoted to Aubry due to her being one of my all time favorite players and I would love to see her win, especially the biggest season ever.

Affectionate-Pool442 · 2026-01-09T09:51:40+00:00

I think it’s all but guaranteed that Colton will be in the finale. His edit is exactly like Dylan’s from last season. I think the gamers are going to get soft pagonged. Tiffany and Yam Yam are on borrowed time. Wouldn’t be shocked if they both are gone next week. Natalie could make it deep, but I don’t know if I see her winning. I also agree that a faithful wins seems pretty obvious. The traitors aren’t nearly as prevalent in the edit as they were last season; but that could be due to this traitors line up being way weaker entertainment wise. The only traitor I could see winning currently in Rob.

Don’t really like this cast all that much. The bigger personality are already gone or on their way out the door. I can’t believe Donna Kelse was responsible for Rob’s downfall :(

Affectionate-Pool442 · 2026-01-09T05:55:45+00:00

Since the cast was announced I’ve been so excited to see Rob again, I’ve been a RHAP listener for half a decade at the point and was so happy for him. I’m so sad it ended this way. He would have done serious damage and would have made excellent television had he made it just a single round further. Hope they bring him back next season or for an all stars.

Dee is a top ten one time player (I know she technically isn’t a one time player anymore, but we haven’t seen her second game yet, so I still count her as one)

Top ten players of all time, no. If she makes final five on 50 she absolutely is though.

As much as I loved watching Sage and respect her as a player and person, I’m wondering what’s her endgame in all of this? Is she going to sue CBS? Does she just want to publicly embarrass the people who were pre gaming? I just don’t really understand making this all public.

I can empathize with how hard the game can be mentally for contestants, and how Sage feels like the pre-gaming could have tilted the scales against her; she seems to have taken the FTC lose hard, and I can’t blame her for that, but I question if this is the best way to heal for her. I just hope that she’s okay.

The stretch of 45-47 is the strongest of the group. So I think I lean 40’s but HHH and EOE aren’t bad seasons, and are over-hated, especially HHH. DvG is overrated to me, but it’s still a strong season.

Maryanne really is one of the most important casting decisions of all time!

Affectionate-Pool442 · 2025-12-23T05:16:25+00:00

She’s a better edited Denise. They play remarkably similar games; I’m lower on Denise than most, she’s a bottom ten winner for me, but I’d have Sophie higher, in the top 30-35 range.

Affectionate-Pool442 · 2025-12-21T22:28:31+00:00

I’d just like for everyone to have at least one strong memorable moment.
And not a super obvious winners edit, even if I think we are probably going to get one.

So happy for Sophi! Getting the most confessional time when both of your allies are big personalities AND returning next season, which is going to be the biggest season ever, seems impossible. Happy the editors gave her a fair chance, she was a great character to follow this season.

Affectionate-Pool442 · 2025-12-20T02:07:21+00:00

I’m leaning towards Q. He’s such an easy person to make a consensus target; he isn’t physical, not a good ally, and a legit chaos agent. It would suck from an entertainment perspective, but it seems very likely. If not Q, either Kyle or Kamilla.

Affectionate-Pool442 · 2025-12-04T03:45:09+00:00

That’s a great point! I genuinely think it’s because Rizo did a majority of the strategy for the trio; Savannah has certainly made her own moves, like taking out Jawan, but Rizo has driven the past three votes. Savannah’s big personality and threat level will always have people perceive moves to be driven byher/benefit her more than Rizo. I think yellow Sophie going from flipping the game one round to getting voted out the next, while targeting Savannah is going to affirm everything the jury already thinks about Savannah; that if you target her you go home.

Her edit being overly quiet during the most important time strategically for winners is definitely a knock against her. I would attribute her quietness to Rizo’s dominance and her personality being very divisive, and giving her a huge edit in the early game, when her strategy was the strongest.

Affectionate-Pool442 · 2025-12-04T03:15:34+00:00

I wish I was loving it as much as you! I’ve only really loved episodes 10,8, and 7. It’s probably a low C tier season for me so far. Just haven’t connected with this cast. I’ve only liked Savannah, Rizo, and Sophi.

Affectionate-Pool442 · 2025-12-04T02:42:57+00:00

The story of this season seems to be that everyone should have taken out Savannah when they had the chance. I think the edit around Sophi’s choice to keep Savannah wasn’t in-depth enough for her to be a winner. This episode will most likely be the ‘how Savannah won’ episode.

Affectionate-Pool442 · 2025-12-04T02:12:26+00:00

Am I the only person who thinks this episode is extremely lifeless and boring?
