Yall look at cassidy and owen's likes on twitter they are PISSED... owen liked like 10 anti karla tweets and apparently gabler called the lgtb community "people groomers" and owen is calling him out. He called karla bitter, jealous and that she should delete her account lol

 Interesting. So Owen is cool. Gabler is just disgusting but I've known that since day 1. Karla is the one who surprised me. But I don't know why. I was never onboard with her. Never could get behind her for some reason

The term bitter jury gets thrown around a lot but this is probably the most clear example, they were mad she won immunity instead of giving it up, and Karla openly saying she's going to be bitter. 

Why on earth would that stupid jury expect Cass to give up her immunity to build fire with Jesse?  She isn't Chris. I guess if she wins she probably wins the game but the likely hood of her winning is not very good. And she goes home at 4. She did much better winning $100,000 in 2nd place. This jury is just stupid because they let Gabler skate to the end. 

FromTheNorth#1114

Winning final 4 immunity against 3 others is way more impressive than a 50/50 firemaking. Players used to be rewarded for being able to close their games out with immunity wins to earn their own spot in the end

ChavoAntoine#1115

Just got done watching the reunion and to be totally honest and leaving out the fact that Gabler is a conservative who called the gays groomers he possibly did play the best game out there besides Jesse. It's the jury's fault for letting him slide to the end. He ate Cass alive during deliberation. She thought she was the one behind getting Ryan out and Jessie & Cody debunked that. They all just got outplayed by Gabler. Does it suck? yes but it's their own fault. He played way too under the radar, much like Jesse and in the end that horrible fire building twist decided the winner.  Did anyone else catch Cody throwing shade at Jesse with that toast to Gabler saying "the move of the season goes to Gabler"?  I think Jesse thought he was about to say him, or am I wrong?  Because Gabler didn't make any big moves all season, nothing like Jesse. Karla proved to be a woman hater to the end, it was ugly to see how she turned on her good friend Cass. Looking back I am not surprised of the outcome. Wasn't Noelle MAGA?  Then there's Cody who was up Gablers butt all season long. Gabler should've been voted off after  that day he beat Cody in that endurance challenge where he was shouting out ever Tom **** and Harry he knew. Oh well F this Shit I'm off to watch a real show Housewives of Miami.

**** Karla, I never need to see her again. But noelle annoyed me the most with the scared of making fire shit. 

Aspiring#1117

Love that Karla and Jesse are getting **** on by the fan base. Y'all wanted to be woman haters so badly, now you get what you deserve.

Nonja#1118

One of most bitter juries since Natalie won 

Nah, this is like if the jury in Samoa voted for Mick to win

Nonja#1119

Apparently the jury had a roundtable at Ponderosa and had already decided that Gabler was winning no matter what.

It sad, it was a bad season. Jeff Probst once said that if Susie would have won Gabon it would have been the end of Survivor cause the editors wouldn't know how to tell the history of her win. I think that whats happend on 43. Except it wasnt good old lovable Susie, it was the weirdo with the army fetish.

There was no way of telling a compeling story for the season, nothing to told about the winner. Literally all veryone is saying is that they voted for him for the Ellie move, that happend in freaking episode 7!!!!!!!!!!!! It's crazy. Editing had nothing to work with, couldn't make a story that made sense.

You can completely understand why Jeff was """"""trashing"""""" the season in interviews, had to be very frustrated as a producer.

Nonja#1120

I can believe I wasted 8 hours of my life for a stupid jury to give the money to ******* soldiers.......................

Challenge 17#1121

This is the worst season. At least the other very bad seasons were entertaining 

Flopnanas#1122

They should get rid of fire making and just do another "immunity" challenge and whoever wins it out of the two heads to the final 3. Firemaking is so tired at this point as well as not exciting most times 

timster3#1123

Anyways Brett from Millennials vs Gen X is grooming some young gay dude. Look up "Stanbanned" on TikTok. 27 year difference.

Nonja#1124

She thought she was the one behind getting Ryan out and Jessie & Cody debunked that.

Except they lied at FTC in front of everyone. You can go and rewatch the episode. They say that if James is already out they are evicting Cassidy. And they didn't. She really made them change their mind.

But in FTC Cody and Jesse lied and gashligthed Cassidy.

And I'm not making it up, you can go and rewatch the episode.

Brett is 49 his boyfriend is 22 and they started dating 2 years ago but just now went public........
timster3#1126

I hate the police 

timster3#1127

Yt twinks really think it's cute to date your Dad 

FromTheNorth#1128

So he dated a legal 20 year old adult?

KChallenge10#1129

Saw a video of Cass saying if she was a man she would have won and if Gabler was a woman he'd be a goat and I highkey agree with that. 

Nonja#1130

I not the one to speak about age gapes cause like The Outfield once wisely said "I like my boys a little bit older"........ that boy doesn't look 20, it looks very creepy

timster3#1131

So he dated a legal 20 year old adult?

Shut up and let me be fake woke. Brett's old *** and this kid who literally looks 15 and talks like a 15 year old is being groomed and gay dudes normalize this shit and call it daddy and son. These fetishes make me sick.

timster3#1132

I not the one to speak about age gapes cause like The Outfield once wisely said "I like my boys a little bit older"........ that boy doesn't look 20, it looks very creepy

Like I get it when someone looks older than their age and acts older but this dude is giving 15. I can't imagine what they have in common. 

ChampionDarrell#1133

Anyway, Jesse should be getting just as much criticism as Karla. I am calling it both sexist Cassidy didn't win and racist Owen didn't win. Both should have beaten gabler. He did nothing!!!! 

Challenge 17#1134

Saw a video of Cass saying if she was a man she would have won and if Gabler was a woman he'd be a goat and I highkey agree with that. 

timster3#1135

Shut up and focus on dragging Brett. I'm getting a high on seeing cops being publicly lashed

Nonja#1136

Saw a video of Cass saying if she was a man she would have won and if Gabler was a woman he'd be a goat and I highkey agree with that. 

Yeah the S43 jury would have made Xander the winner instead of Erika

Challenge 17#1137

The 43 jury are so incompetent they probably pick will to win worlds apart 

ChavoAntoine#1138

Brett is wrong for that. That looks like it could be his grand son. 

Flopnanas#1139

Yeah anytime I see these huge age gaps I always think there's gotta be something wrong mentally that you can't get someone around your age. The brain isn't even fully formed until like 25 so it always make me think they want to control them 

Flopnanas#1140

Also I'm wondering why some seasons are spoiled completely like 42 was but no one knew about 43... like they need their own gamervev and pinkrose who are always legit season after season asap :). I forgot if 41 was spoiled though...I don't think anyone knew about Erika until very late

He was on live saying they were private for so long because Brett is afraid is backlash. Then Brett came home from work and Brett didn't even say hi and the boy looked nervous and kept saying he had to go before Brett got distracted talking on the phone and stayed on live for a few more minutes before finally rushing off when Brett was coming. WEIRD. Like I just know his Dad looks like him. Idk how people can do that.
