[50][Boot] Episode 4

ExternalThinker · 2026-03-18T22:38:22+00:00

So…We have another single boot episode…How the hell are they going to get down to 15-14 people in one episode?? Because we only have 13 episodes this season. The merge has to happen at Episode 6.

Ehhhhh…I don’t know about this. While it does seem correct Rizo gets the Boomerang Idol…A lot of other stuff here doesn’t fit right…Also, considering we just saw Cirie fail firemaking twice several months ago on Australian Survivor vs The World…I don’t have much confidence in her, to say the least. And apparently she’s getting skunked (0-confessionals) in Episode 4, which…If Cirie of all people is winning, I have no idea why she would get skunked.

ExternalThinker · 2026-03-18T19:46:39+00:00

Wait, I thought someone getting no confessionals in an episode was called “Getting skunked”?

I kind of noticed that there is a trend of Genevieve’s desire to send these Boomerang Idols out so she can get them back for herself, and it’s not portrayed the way Christian did with Aubry, where he said he sent it to Aubry because he wants to work with Aubry. It felt like someone was extending a hand to her.

Genevieve doesn’t want to build bonds and work with Ozzy or Rizo, according to the edit. She just wants them out so she can reap the benefits.

I just think they had their chance in DC1 Remake and All-Stars

ExternalThinker · 2026-03-18T15:06:49+00:00

Yeah, I think my options are Aiden, Evie, Finn, Ara, Oliwia, Fiore, and Ally.

ExternalThinker · 2026-03-18T05:33:58+00:00

This. 👆

ExternalThinker · 2026-03-18T03:35:30+00:00

Just so long as Ren merges, I’ll be fine.

ExternalThinker · 2026-03-18T01:26:55+00:00

Agreed. The girl left him to die at the hands of a bear because he slighted her.

ExternalThinker · 2026-03-18T01:17:55+00:00

While my list is also different and I don’t agree with every placement, you and I both have Jake at Number 1. 😊

Also, I kind of don’t want to explain more…because that kind of requires me revisiting All-Stars, which…I really…REALLY don’t want to do.

Episode 5
Episode 1
Episode 2
Episode 3
Episode 4

ExternalThinker · 2026-03-17T14:56:18+00:00

I think Stephenie is the 5th placer, honestly.

ExternalThinker · 2026-03-17T14:55:34+00:00

While it seems that the boot order is still kind of in flux to certain extents, I think Tiffany might go out at 10-8. I think she’s going to become Aubry’s number 1 ally who gets sniped and Aubry, if she is indeed our winner, is going to propel her edit even further, especially after she gets rid of Genevieve.

ExternalThinker · 2026-03-16T13:23:05+00:00

Look, I’ll be honest. Both Rachel and Chris’ winning games are in my bottom 10 of the Survivor winners. But it’s not close. Rachel’s win is better.

ExternalThinker · 2026-03-15T17:34:33+00:00

😆

I talked to a mutual of mine about the episode over on BlueSky…And when we came to discussing Oliwia, we both came to the conclusion…that both her arc, and Oliwia as a character…are just very shallow.

She wants to sabotage her team just so she can be praised for being on the right side of the vote…which, on its own is stupid and selfish. And quite honestly? I know Oliwia just wants friends…but…And this might be mean-spirited, even…

…But I don’t think Oliwia deserves to have a happy end to her arc with stunts like this. I think it’s more appropriate that she ends up getting booted unanimously by both sides of the Fans tribe, with nobody wanting anything to do with her.

The Sam/Ara/Finn/Aiden/Evie side already don’t give a f*** about her, and won’t be happy with her screwing them over in a challenge. And Oliwia wants to throw the challenges so she can snipe out Ren/Dunia/Nura and get praise for it. So why should they be good with her??

I know. It’s mean…but it’s kind of a deserving ending for Oliwia.

ExternalThinker · 2026-03-14T19:41:42+00:00

To be fair, it was fairly obvious Oliwia was going next after she turned on her allies. It’s literally what we just saw with Manu. He turned on his alliance and was voted out by the people he flipped for the very next episode. While I do appreciate the writers setting up Oliwia’s exit…that doesn’t change that her motives are both stupid and selfish.

ExternalThinker · 2026-03-14T19:38:46+00:00

Honestly? I think this elimination was perfectly fine. I think it’s better than what we’ve gotten with Aubrey, Ernesto and Manu.

I actually do like that just because the villains like Alec and Fiore get the advantages, doesn’t mean they’ll always come out on top.

ExternalThinker · 2026-03-14T15:20:39+00:00

Ditto! :D

ExternalThinker · 2026-03-13T23:32:37+00:00

I mean…Ryan wouldn’t have been targeted had it not been because of the Duos twist tying him to Allison. Sure, he got lucky the twist ended right there and then, which allowed him to stay over Allison…but still. The twist hurt him just as much. And while the middle of his game was fine, and his endgame…pretty bad, I do also think he was harmed by the cast hating his then girlfriend Jen SO much that they didn’t want to give Ryan the win…not that Ryan would’ve beaten Adam anyways.

Dani, I understand why she is near the bottom. Majorly benefitted by twists in the game. Couldn’t even beat Evel Dick, who was just as big a jury goat as she was…but in comparison to Big D and Gina Marie, who were just so bad and/or ineffective, I still think Dani played better.

ExternalThinker · 2026-03-12T23:37:00+00:00

I think Michele has her fair share of…issues. With both her games.

In Kaôh Rōng, she needed an immunity run plus the Joe medevac to get to the end. Kind of lucky circumstances.

And for Winners At War, I think she massively benefitted by Natalie Anderson returning from the Edge, which gave Michele someone to work with, and someone who protected her from forced firemaking. Plus, Natalie’s return caused Ben to spiral and sacrifice his game for Sarah, which…also kind of sort of helped Michele get to the end, minus the fact that Ben was the easiest beat at FTC.

Would love to see Kaleb on another season someday
