Add me to the list of people who didn't realize this immediately. Maybe I'm a level 1 Survivor watcher, but based on the information presented by the show it's silly to assume everyone should know it was clear coordination.

Assuming Mike coordinated the Christian vote split (which I now believe to be so), why the heck did they edit it that way? They could have found a way to keep some suspense without making Mike look like a buffoon. It's totally believable to a layperson that Mike thought his plan hadn't worked and just voted for what he thought was the next best option. We've seen better players than Mike nonsensically throw a vote away before.

If I'm Mike I'm pissed off watching this episode back. This was his best episode of the season and should make him a legitimate contender to win this. The edit did nothing to drive that point home. At the very least they could have cut to a clear shot of Mike smiling in satisfaction or something to show that he accomplished his goal.

The finale ep better start with a nice confessional from Mike gloating about his success.

Other than davie v nick, an all Goliath final is the most interesting by far.

It seems abundantly likely that nick or davie destroy two goliaths tho

I don't even know what this means. Has perfectly normal girlfriend, so he's asexual?

I honestly thought this past episode was poorly edited and lacking in drama. Especially considering it contained the elimination of one of the most popular and compelling cast members ever. It just kind of happened. May as well have been some random player on day 6. Christian barely got any screen time, there was no final-ep arc for him. Deserved better I thought.

I realize they can only work with what they have, but it still felt lackluster, especially considering the overall quality of the season up to that point.

Christian got screentime and an arc for 2 months!
If you came into this episode not knowing christian was screwed if he werent immune...
Another innovative stroke of editing. Not everyone will like it, but it's better than the same crap again and again

Wow they had someone who had to be removed from ponderosa a few days before the game. Who did they call? Who had to get on a plane the next day and fly out and play with no preparation?

Tell me more about how Angelina has been subtle and downplaying her rice negotiation
If he made fun of her like the rest of us, he'd have been a misogynist, remember? Without his defense, who would THINK OF THE WOMYN?

Oh, Angelina, honey .... those gray leggings were not a good fashion choice. Especially when you’re running and the camera catches you from behind. It’s like Jell-O trying to escape from the lunch sack. Or maybe her brains, mixed with rice.
Someone better go educate these women how to respect women in their internet posting! It's like, cyber-bullying!!!!!!!!

Do they all meet at Ponderosa before the game for a few days?

Theyre not allowed to speak. But everyone sees everyone. Theyre all together, there is every type of nonverbal interaction. So when one person bounces at the last minute and gets replaced, everyone notices.

In terms of “meeting”. I think they are all gathered together in LA separately. They fly to fiji together

Im listening to josh wigler’s first one out. Instead of arguing about sexism on the computer.

Christian’s interview is very good. Nick’s is amazing and id consider it essential listening before the finale

I dunno his elimination felt very anticlimactic. I know he got tons of screen time all year, but that's because he's interesting. This last ep was still one of the weakest so far this year, which is a shame when it's the same one where an all time great character goes home.

I feel like there was a pretty good chance of this happening just because people really liked christian and she tried to take him out and failed. The enemy of my friend is my enemy. Maybe we'd like to think that the game bots itt are above such things, but years of participating in these discussions should disabuse us of that notion.

They probably aren't going to be as inclined to vote for players who they did not consider to be some sort of threat. If we don't see them saying to each other and/or America at some point, "Oh gosh, we gotta get Mike and Kara out before they beat us," it's hard to imagine them voting for those people to win. Obviously, if it's Mike, Kara, and Angelina at the end it would be hard to imagine one of Mike or Kara not winning. However, it's hard to imagine Mike, Kara, and Angelina at the end. imo

I wonder how long it had been since nick found the fake idol and when he told davie. And how many conversations they had in between

Don't understand why people are underestimating Alison itt, I think based on the edit we've seen she's by far the most likely to win.

Alison > Davie >> Nick >>>>>>>> 3% > Kara > 1% > Mike > Angelina

imo

And no I'm not interested in doing some ridiculous bet where I can lose a lot of money betting on a Kara, Mike or Angelina win .

I think Davie shouldve taken Ang on the reward. She’s going to be in the game until the end. No one has bonded with her. Id try to win her loyalty.

And you could play it off to your ally
