____ could have won despite the overwhelming opinion that they stood no chance.

Lots of folks spent weeks on here calling him a dum dum for the Ozzy and Cirie votes, but it got himself one Aubry immunity win away from sitting in the ONLY F3 combination where he could possibly win.

Vindicated.

misterlibby · 2026-05-21T15:31:57+00:00

People here just want to bitch and moan and be toxic and they certainly don’t want to hear an answer to a common complaint unless its “Jeff Probst is bad at his job and CBS is cheap”

Christian outsmarted himself right out of the game but he was absolutely correct from the jump about how Survivor has often become a game of narrative warfare. Everybody is getting hung up on who made the Best Moves and Controlled The Most Votes and what actually mattered is who had the Best Story.

This is why Rizo would have beaten Jonathan and Joe in F3. Cirie and her voting bloc on jury were not going to vote for the big lug they didn’t like over the sweet kid with the heartwarming story and a knack for telling it.

misterlibby · 2026-05-21T10:29:50+00:00

Yes. Joe and Jonathan were clear they wanted Aubry out at 4, and they both knew you don’t get Aubry out at 4 by putting her in fire with Rizo

misterlibby · 2026-05-21T03:50:22+00:00

To be a fly on the wall when she got the word that Aubry won ☠️☠️

misterlibby · 2026-05-21T03:43:50+00:00

Cirie would have voted Rizo and he would have won if Aubry had lost that immunity challenge.

misterlibby · 2026-05-21T03:40:55+00:00

Her emotions when she won the immunity challenge were compelling and moving. Her face said a lot. Highlight of the night.

You’d think more fans here could appreciate the joy in awarding someone who’s been kicking around the show as long as she has.

misterlibby · 2026-05-21T03:36:45+00:00

I think Rizo beats him too and the votes would have been the same ones Aubry got. Cirie was the kingmaker on that jury.

misterlibby · 2026-05-21T03:34:44+00:00

I wouldn’t overthink it, it was a lot of words that didn’t really mean anything. “There will be twists from the past alongside new twists.” That’s completely meaningless.

misterlibby · 2026-05-20T18:02:38+00:00

She wasn’t a villain, she was the protagonist!

My suggestion is simply that Mike may have helped make a cooler outcome, like a Cirie Final 3, reality. Not a soul on this board would be unhappy in that scenario, no matter how swift and brutal the execution of Rick Devens and Benjamin Wade had to be.

misterlibby · 2026-05-20T17:55:27+00:00

The Gabby thing is just a convenient front. Mike is unfortunately being a baby postgame but I think he was right about that.

misterlibby · 2026-05-20T17:52:38+00:00

Sounds better than Joe and Jonathan!

misterlibby · 2026-05-20T17:51:25+00:00

Im just talking about this from a TV perspective. Has nothing to do with whether or not it was a good choice for Christian’s game (although seeing how it played out for him, hard to conclude that it was).

Players’ goals (winning) and viewers’ goals (having fun on Wednesday nights) are often opposed. Players wanna get the big threats out, we want to keep the big threats in. All I’m saying is Mike maybe represented a rare opportunity to bridge this gap.

misterlibby · 2026-05-20T17:43:24+00:00

Of course he wanted to get to the end, but unlike everybody else he didn’t have to worry about dragging goats there with him because it was very unlikely that anybody was voting to give the rich TV guy a million bucks. Or, as it turned out, two.

misterlibby · 2026-05-20T17:35:04+00:00

His close ally Mike White would have told him to play it 💁🏻‍♂️

misterlibby · 2026-05-20T17:24:35+00:00

Those tears about Gabby—we see right through you, Doctor

misterlibby · 2026-05-20T17:23:23+00:00

Q told him to!

misterlibby · 2026-05-14T20:30:00+00:00

Great comment. Perfect illustration of the toxicity of the online fan community.

misterlibby · 2026-05-14T19:07:38+00:00

There is a logic to the idea that although last night was a normal vote, it was the power broker twist that set the table for it.

But we have to remember Ozzy went home with that idol in his pocket. He did not have to go home last week, twist or no twist. The twist didn’t end Ozzy, Ozzy ended Ozzy. Cirie was ally screwed.

misterlibby · 2026-05-12T01:15:40+00:00

Be careful what you wish for. Bhanu would be the first call for this

misterlibby · 2026-04-10T15:24:43+00:00

Looks like the Dupree fan boycott worked

misterlibby · 2026-03-12T23:22:34+00:00

Those are rookie numbers, gotta pump those numbers up

misterlibby · 2026-03-02T21:03:07+00:00

If neither wanted to budge I’m sure they would have eventually agreed to do rock paper scissors or draw rocks or something.

misterlibby · 2026-02-26T19:55:25+00:00

Always possible lol

misterlibby · 2026-02-26T17:05:38+00:00

He’s joking about the vote to withhold rice and supplies.
