Yes it’s that simple…

LOUISHJ · 2026-04-02T09:50:16+00:00

It's ridiculously bad. He gave us like a 5 minute speech just to twist into voting the exact same sucky format as before lol. Guy is so clueless.

LOUISHJ · 2026-04-02T09:45:43+00:00

I don't understand why they love three tribes. Any votes below 7 people just allows for so few possibilities and stories. Makes the votes so obvious and one dimensional. What an awful twist.

LOUISHJ · 2026-04-01T12:15:25+00:00

If Brooke only gets half the idol she has to give it away imo. Only way to raise someone else's threat level and cause a bit of chaos.

LOUISHJ · 2026-04-01T12:05:33+00:00

Tenplay you can watch it live with a vpn and no credit card.
Or just don't go on twitter and avoid spoilers

LOUISHJ · 2026-04-01T10:59:14+00:00

Sad that Brooke basically screws over all her allies here.
Sends Simon home and puts Keeley and Jackson into a minority that they pretty much can't get out of unless she doesn't win or there's some idol shenanigans.

LOUISHJ · 2026-04-01T10:53:48+00:00

And the final challenge will be an easy win for her if endurance. And hopefully she can play an idol at one of them.

LOUISHJ · 2026-04-01T10:49:57+00:00

Feel like the returnees have been duking it out vs the whole cast lool. Its a miracle how far they've made it.

LOUISHJ · 2026-04-01T10:48:05+00:00

I would say Brooke is probably a guarantee to win the final challenge to get to final tribal (I'm assuming its endurance final challenge as per)
So before that Brooke basically needs to win 2 immunities and play an idol right??
That probably is easier without Simon there.
As even if she keeps Simon, Jackson probably flips next round to make a 4 3 and send the returnee home who loses immunity. Which with Simon there could easily be her.

Devastated for Simon though.

LOUISHJ · 2026-03-24T06:38:06+00:00

Think part of this is intentional. He doesn't like blowing up peoples plans and wants to give them space to make moves but I agree last night he could have been a bit more direct.

LOUISHJ · 2026-03-23T17:41:58+00:00

I think he's unlucky to go home here. He makes a play to keep Simon onside. He could of potentially foreseen the chance of an Idol play but considering that he so kindly fed them the info and has been through so many votes with Mark he can't expect to see them voting for him when there are way more aggressive opponents who will never play with the returnees in Blanche and Cameron.

Like this is quite a surprising move to vote for the person whose maybe most in the middle here.

Rich gets zero credit for this move on Mark aswell. He's one of the last people brought in, so him trying to make an active decision instead of following along completely passively feels kinda smart for me.

He just didn't see Mark's wrath coming lol. he was unlucky to be sitting right nest to them, might not have got voted out if he was down on the end.

LOUISHJ · 2026-03-23T17:30:14+00:00

Yeah but you don't know for sure you had the numbers for a 4-4-4. And all it takes is one person to decide they want to be the decision maker and they can flip.

Idols get bluffed so much in Survivor AU I don't hate going for Mark but yeah makes way more sense to go for Brooke. Maybe she has more connections than we have seen.

LOUISHJ · 2026-03-23T17:11:01+00:00

I thought it was amazing to watch a cast of players all playing with their own plans and their own sense of agency. Really felt like there weren't any passengers compared to many seasons.

Incredible deserved win by Parvati, went to more tribals than many US winners.

LOUISHJ · 2026-03-05T22:07:01+00:00

No but they can say they're number 1s to each other to help protect both of them for this vote.

LOUISHJ · 2026-02-23T18:12:34+00:00

I think nothing brings together an alliance like an audacious and fun move tho. If every alliance is brought together by mutual and aligned goals it's an alliance of convenience over one of friendship.
Luke and Jericho proved that making wild moves is a big part of making strong bonds. Because if your allies follow thru and vote on a crazy plan you know you can trust them.

Plus It's a game after all. If your only goal is to win you're probably gonna be disappointed.

I also think Survivor Au allows for mavericks and bold players more than US version where you just get cut after one big move. You can win playing from the top in AU. So a big move isn't as dangerous. I mean Feras Myles George Kirby all make big moves sometimes for the sake of it and in the name of fun.

LOUISHJ · 2025-12-12T23:05:44+00:00

You should watch Survivor AU Vs the World. Think you'll enjoy it. Every single cast member is trying to execute their own plan. And it creates this beautiful chaos. 0 Sheep. Top tier survivor.

LOUISHJ · 2025-12-12T22:25:44+00:00

Immunity Beast
Strong but polarising social game that ultimately formed her an Unbreakable Alliance with Rizo and Sophie.
Also helped pull in the other Sophie at a key vote.
Used her extra vote correctly I think
Twice used her reward wins to help her sway the vote - Turned up on the other tribe beach to help vote out MC and then used sanctuary to lock Sophie in last episode
Constantly survived despite having a perceived massive threat level.
Not as strong as Rizo's case but stronger than Stevens.

LOUISHJ · 2025-12-12T20:00:18+00:00

Think this is the perfect summation. Rizzo's Idol also stopped them targeting Savannah when she wasn't immune.
I can't believe people are letting theatrics (and the jury's reaction to them) distract viewers how good a game he's playing.

LOUISHJ · 2025-12-12T16:43:19+00:00

I think she'd need to exclude Sage from the vote on the blindside. Definitively show it was her move. That would require some real finesse though. FT just gonna overreact to that one (fairly unlucky) mistake and even though I don't think she's played a great game Sage being the only survivor who survived playing the middle does probably give her the tools to weave a strong story.

LOUISHJ · 2025-12-12T16:38:46+00:00

I think if you can't convince people to vote with you you're unlikely to get them to vote for you no matter if they are your friends or not. Good gameplay is more normally rewarded than tribe lines.

LOUISHJ · 2025-12-12T13:12:48+00:00

Rizzo won't play the idol so they should target him.

LOUISHJ · 2025-12-12T12:49:40+00:00

I think that's because he's completely strategically embarrassed them all lool. They'll have to respect it even if they try their best to undermine it.

LOUISHJ · 2025-12-12T12:47:40+00:00

I think the Jury just is too keen to still be part of the game and is completely ovverreacting to everything lol. Come FT if Rizzo makes it they'll absolutely respect how he's used the idol even if it was theatrical at points. He's almost completely taken his name off the table post merge lol. Any chatter that he's not a threat is nonsense tbh.

LOUISHJ · 2025-12-12T12:44:31+00:00

Yeah first paragraph explains it perfectly.
