We complain so much about three tribes and lost votes and journeys. What’s even worse about the modern game is how at this stage of the game, there are too many people left with too few shots to take. The fact that at F6 there are only two votes left is unbelievably bad for the product. #Survivor

I’m sorry, did Rizo just say “unan”?? #Survivor #Survivor49

Close enough, welcome back Kim Powers #Survivor #Survivor49

“4, which is more than 3, will be doing the same thing!” Yes, Jeff. That’s exactly why you always need to have more people missing out on reward than participating. #Survivor #Survivor49

Last night’s episode was probably the best of the season, but it truly cannot be understated how every single #Survivor season would be made better with a Final 2. Every move, every episode, every TC becomes so much more layered and high stakes when you’re fighting for 1/2 spots instead of 1/4

“Mean girl energy” yet she’s nothing but kind, sweet, and supportive when caught on camera 🤨 #Survivor #Survivor49

Weekly reminder how much better this would be if everyone were playing knowing they were competing for one of 2 spots in the end, instead of one of 4. #Survivor

“Which one needs to go first?” Idk maybe the one who’s in a very tight trio and has an idol and not the one who doesn’t have anybody sticking their neck out for him? #Survivor #Survior49

Every season needs someone who gives commentary like yellow Sophie does #Survivor #Survivor49

Not unique to the new era at all but Individual reward challenges >> no reward challenges >>>>>>> team reward challenges #Survivor #Survivor49

How poetic it would’ve been had they both gone to TC last week

Blue Sophi/yellow Sophie/Savannah would be a great Final 3 though #Survivor

It’s always so interesting to see how quickly majority alliance people turn on each other and let the bottom dwellers stick around. #Survivor

The episodes they *should* use: -Borneo finale -Marquesas F9 -Pearl Islands F7 -Panama F6 -Fiji F9 -Micronesia F9 -HvV F12 -Cagayan merge -SJDS episode 4 -42 F6

They give the same energy. #TheTraitorsCanada

This is reminiscent of the split round in IOI where Elaine and Karishma kept Tommy for no reason whatsoever. #Survivor

#Survivor It’s fascinating that the two biggest fan beefs about S14: Fiji were the haves-vs-have-nots start and Michelle Yi being twist-screwed by a random-drawn team Tribal post-merge. Jeff Probst’s response in the new era? “Let’s bake those in to every season!”

I really hate it here sometimes. Heaven forbid they do a regular vote after a big swing at the merge #Survivor

“Group immunity” 🤮🤬 Their commitment to getting in the way and not giving players room to play is truly astounding. #Survivor

With all due respect to the 49ers who are on 50, learning that Cydney, Maryanne, Danielle, Rob C, Jerri, Jonathan, Abi, Carolyn, and more got cut late in the process is such a tough pill to swallow. Save 48-49 people for a new era all stars. I don’t know when we’ll see some of the deep cuts again

We love to see an invisible queen turned challenge beast #Survivor #Survivor49

MERGATORY FOUND DEAD #Survivor

Petition to retire earning the merge feast and bring back having to earn final four firemaking by convincing someone to vote with you to form a tie! #Survivor #Survivor49

I can’t believe they made us sit through 13-person merges in 18-person seasons for so long. 11 is so, so much better. This season has definitely been underwhelming so far but I think we’re headed towards a better post-merge than 48 had #Survivor

Jeff saying “there’s nowhere to hide” is triggering for me since they stop voting after F5 in the modern game, which creates much more room to hide 😭 #Survivor

If they take Shannon out here, that opens up the game much more for both Jawan and Sage. Because if Uli wants to stay Uli strong, they now need Jawan and Sage much more than they did before. #Survivor

They should use those Survivor trivia pringles as a challenge

Listen, I don’t like swapping back to 3 random tribes, either, but assuming that they do just a regular merge next week, I think I like this more than any other merge they’ve done in the new era. #Survivor

I’m watching #TheTraitorsCanada solely for Omar and Venus and they are both casting gold. I hope this isn’t the last time that we get to see either one of them on one of these shows

To learn that Cydney was not only called for #Survivor 50, but she was at a point in her life where she both could play and wanted to, then went through the process only to get cut is devastating. She’s been on everyone’s dream returnee lists for YEARS bc she’s such a natural and they fumbled it.

Ok but this is way better than earn the merge. This plus a regular merge at 11? I don’t hate it

I had some questions about Jawan immediately shooting down Matt’s move against OG Uli last week because it was preserving a structure that doesn’t ultimately serve Jawan. I feel like it probably would’ve been better for him to at least explore other options 😬 #Survivor #Survivor49

CYDNEY GILLON. What a get! Cannot wait to hear from her #Survivor

When even Jeff has to set the haters straight, you know it’s bad. #Survivor

The fact that they didn’t immediately swap to three tribes of 5 is crazy. #Survivor

You know, I really wouldn’t hate the three tribe format so much if they sent two tribes to TC once or twice in the premerge. A premerge double boot is way better than the post merge split TC they do, and it would be a guaranteed way to get to know more than one tribe. #Survivor

I don’t know what to do with version of Jeff who’s going out of his way to validate people’s emotions #Survivor

Sophi is in danger and I’m over it already #Survivor

My only rule in the new era about which tribes I root for is that I root for whoever has the fewest members. I can’t believe we’re on NINE seasons in a row of this tired format 😭

It’s important that we acknowledge that Jason got into #Survivor during Gabon because he loved Kenny from the Super Smash Bros world. Which means that, by association, Jason came into Survivor rooting for Crystal Cox! We love a man with good taste

Morgan: I'd like to nominate... production! #bb27

I’m not a Big Brother watcher but I know exactly 3 things: 1. How important feeds are 2. How important votes are 3. Who Rachel Reilly is Yikes #BB27

How exactly are they going to get rid of 8 more people before finale night in a month? #BB27

It’s so fun to see them both doing their thing at the same time on their respective shows

This is Stacy Kimball’s legacy btw #Survivor #SurvivorAU

It’s *wild* that this take needs to be said out loud, but thank you, Nate. #Survivor #Survivor49

my new #1 favorite confessional of all time
