Lynze or Maryanne winning would be amazing, but Omar played the **** out of that merge and I'm sad to see him go out 6th. I really think Lynze is the most well rounded player left by miles, it's not even close but she won't make finale after last episode. Maryanne is not happy with her and that was an important scene, probably setting up a Lynze boot in the finale.

Omar was the best player this season, I guess Maryanne probably wins since she basically took out the biggest target and seems to have the best résumée

Omar = Shan

Maryanne = Ricard

Our winner is the the quiet person in a duo that went to the end with someone unlikable (Xander, Jonathan) and a weirdo (Black dude, Romeo). Congrats to the white girl! Forgot her name

I've had your back and defended you for a while but you have crossed a line here! DO NOT DISRESPECT MA LIKE THAT!

Hauserman#367

Are you guys stupid and know nothing about editing? (tbh, looking at tweaking timster) The episode literally set up Maryanne's winning move, combine that with her merge edit that has been well thought out on producers end showing us some strategic insight that's impacted her game just about every round.

Maryanne is Ricard.  Ricard was insufferable.  Maryanne is just slightly annoying but likeable.  Ricard also was a competitive threat where she isn't.  I don't see any comparison.

anon12423452355...#369

Huh, to bed KVM.

LucciVee#370

If y'all jinx my sister MaryAnne I will get the voodoo  on y'all

as usual you're wrong. maryanne is easily winning this no one else has an edit even close to her to win right now besides omar who is gone  

anon12423452355...#372

Welp...CD just jinxed Maryanne and now she has zero shot.

Hauserman#373

Shush.

Connor91#374

Rooting for a Maryanne & Lindsey 1-2. Mike irritates me the longer the season goes on, Romeo is a huge goat and Jonathan's politicking is terrible. He may be a beast in challenges but the rest of the cast are probably dragging him along because they know he's literally done nothing.

kvm1977#376

Lol I never said Maryanne isn't winning. She's not Ricard.  That comparison is absurd. 

Edit sorry my earlier comment said she is...she isn't 

Hauserman#377

My post was meant for those doubting Maryanne wins this, lol. I will be shocked if she doesn't win, I read a lot about edgic and editing; which is why I think this is an obvious one with Maryanne's edit.

ChavoAntoine#378

With so many greats in the finals someone bland like Lindsay would probably win. I would love a Maryann win the most but her edit leads me to believe she doesn't win. Jonathan is ozzy 2.0 so he won't win.

Yeah guys Survivor is over.

-No more live reunions going forward. Winner will be revealed at location followed by the lame after show. We will get spoilers every season so becareful going forward

-Small tribes stay, merge twist stays, dilemma advantages stays, shit  shot in the dark stays.

I'm mostly upset about the live reunion being canned and the reasoning for ditching it is beyond lame. I read a comment that said the reunion gave us a chance to see the castaways new perspective after watching the show. Plus I just loved the off the island looks and the live aspect and AUDIENCE. I bet Jeff was shook by the last reunion where he got called out by Kellee. No more fun crazy live moments like Shirin vs Wills wife. Dan vs Jeff. Etc. The end of an era.

COVID is over. Concerts and festivals are back. Tv talk show audiences are back. That is no longer an excuse and I'd still prefer no audience and a live reunion than the reveal on the island.

Big_bananas_fan#383

Timster is right on this what is the problem of survivor doing a live reunion when all the major sports are doing full-lotation events, concerts are back etc. 

Honestly i also think Survivor is dying, the should have kept the 39 days and get rid of the twists and advantages, leaving only the idols

-Signed by someone who works in healthcare, covid cases rise everytime they let yall take yalls mask off.

flyguy#385

covid is NOT over, but this aint the discussion for that.

timster3#386

covid is NOT over, but this aint the discussion for that.

I'm sorry I'm in my anti mask era. I wore my mask until everyone at my job (maskless besides me) got covid and still gave it to me as well. I decided to go maskless after that especially cause of side of town I live in 98% of people in stores don't wear one and I'd get funny looks when I wore one.

Survivor gained a big influx of new fans during quarantine because of Hulu/Netflix. I don't think it's dying soon.

The same people that are too poor to afford cable (me). They won't watch it live or on Paramount plus so they won't contribute to ratings. They expect it to be on Netflix and Hulu
