damn I always chose a person at random in the first 10 min to root for and I had chosen Randen. Sucks to see him go on medical pull I always feel so badly for med evacs. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, that’s another thing I like about Australian Survivor. They are allowed to leave the game for up to 24 hours for medical reasons, before a decision is made. There have been people permanently removed after that, but there have been several people allowed back into the game after those 24 hours have shown that medical evaluated them and gave them the go ahead to stay and continue on. He would have been able to have the MRI taken the next morning, which would have shown nothing seriously wrong, and he could have stayed and played, for who knows how long. At the same time, it is probably harder to want to allow a 24 hour leave in such a short season of only 26 days…..but I feel like that’s just another con to a short season, and the rule should still exist for these poor players who are forced to leave when a slightly long evaluation would produce clearer results on their condition. My heart breaks for those people. True that would be nice! It's not like Big Brother where outsiders could potentially give you game info.

My heart breaks for those people. Same, and they actually talked about this quite a bit on the RHAP Survivor podcasts this week, also drawing the comparison to Australia. I think the prevailing theory was American insurance. If it helps you feel better about this specific circumstance though, Randen said in his exit interview that his injury turned out to be on the more complex end and he would have needed to leave the game in order to heal regardless. It does suck, though, because just like Bruce if Randen comes back on a subsequent season he'll already be a "celebrity" and his entire game will have to be played differently. I wish they'd at least go back to 39 days.

{Titans Vs. Rebels finale}Loved that Feras won. He was a good combo of gameplay, fun, and social strategy. I also loved that he wanted to represent a severely underrepresented group on tv. These past 2 seasons of SA have been untouchable.

He was a nice guy, but he absolutely had to go. There are some liabilities that you can meld into your own advantage (like the crazy guy that Boston Rob dragged to final 3) but there are some that are just so out there you cannot help them help you.

Yeah, and I figure that he's probably a nice level of off-kilter in real life, but when you put all the survivor stresses and starvation on top of that he was just unworkable.

Bhanu seems like such a sweet guy but clueless AF, especially for Survivor. I was so glad he was put out of his misery because that was cringe to watch, especially when he laid down in the jungle. I appreciated Tiffany being honest with him about writing his name down.

If last season’s cast was one happy family, this season’s cast might be the exact opposite. Venus isn’t very quiet on Twitter and isn’t afraid to call out the bad moves by her castmates 🍿

I thought the men were going to blow that challenge, they were really not good/fast with that puzzle but Hunter saved them. I agree with that Tweet that when he called her Parvati-light that used to be a good thing, and questioning things, speaking out used to be a good player and now it's like "well she's being difficult or dumb". She's not. The second I saw those teams split I said to myself vote out Charlie. The old greats like boston rob, coach, russell, tyson used to be so great for playing on the edge and this new era is just about scooting by without making waves.

That part was so funny "Baltimore!" I felt kinda bad for Tim but I did want Ben to stay so I was happy with that. Also fine with Soda going because she and Liz were way too comfortable at tribal.

I really like a bunch of people so far this season, which is rare for me. Ben seems so sweet and like a genuinely good guy, and I am enjoying Charlie so much. Something about Tiffany I also really like - I think she reminds me of someone but I just can't place who. So I was happy none of those 3 went home. I am also still sort of liking Maria and Hunter.
Q is driving me nuts, I feel like he is too cocky with his "coaching" people. I go back and forth with Tevin and the other girl from Tiff and Q's tribe (I can't remember her name for some reason).
I had no real connection to the 2 that went home or with Liz so I was fine with tribal. I think that's everyone

I feel like the game finally got going the last two episodes. I was fine with Soda leaving as she was a dangerous player - socially, strategically, and I was super-impressed with how she performed in the make-it-to-merge challenge. ITA that she was way too comfortable as was Liz. I might have voted Liz for not even bringing her bag, she was that comfortable. I was fine with Tim leaving because you don't say to the person you are supposed to be in a 6-person alliance with that you are more concerned with your other alliance and looking out for yourself. Yes, you should have other options, plan Bs, etc., but you keep that stuff to yourself.

She has told everyone how rich she is - so they all want to take her to F3 with them because no one will vote for the rich lady to win. Smart move, Liz.

Liz also voted for Soda, so I think she was playing up her part in convincing Soda that everything was fine so she wouldn’t do anything unexpected more than she was being cocky about her place in the game.

But goats typically don't win, especially rich ones.

Liz's vote made me take another look at her. While I'm still annoyed she didn't bring her bag, that she voted for Soda shows she has game in there.

Looks like Venus was getting a lot of crap (intermixed with a lot of love) on Twitter and originally tweeted about it, saying it’s so incredibly hard and most people have no idea the toll it can take on on you. Now she has deleted her account.

Q did a million crazy things last night, but honestly, what is he thinking? They get rid of Tiffany and now he is the only person in this alliance of 6 without a partner from his original tribe, and it’s not like he can just replace her with Kenzie, because he will have destroyed that relationship too. He has been a loose cannon the entire time and had a thousand bad ideas, but honestly, the original idea was horrific, let alone the mess he created at tribal. Tiff was playing a great under the radar game and now he totally blew up her game and everyone will be obsessed with flushing her idol. I hope she rips him a new one next week (and judging by the previews, we get to see a little of it).

Somehow this became a deleted scene, yet we were graced with the Q-skirt nonsense 🤦🏻♀️ Yeah, why would the viewers want to see more fall out from someone causing a tiny bit of chaos with one of your umpteen forced advantages, and the loss of trust between castmates, while another castmate swoops in with excellent social skills, when we can see more of the Q show and watch him walk around wearing a hoodie backwards around his waist, calling himself a genius. ew.com/survivor-46-exclusive-deleted-scene-maria-confronting-ben-8634788

I was really frustrated with Hunter because if he had just kept his mouth shut about the idol and used it with shock value. I really don't think anyone would have voted Q. If they all thought we have a slam dunk with Hunter, they wouldn't have sent votes to Q at all and Hunter could have controlled it. That would be my ultimate dream goal would be to blindside every person single-handedly.

I was yelling at the tv for him to first, not tell anyone as that is the true power of having a HII (no one knows you have it!!!) and two, once he let the cat out of the bag, to actually play it. He got "just one more TC-itis" and it cost him. Better to play it and waste it then to go home with it in his pocket. Twice now this season and I'm SMH. Although James is still the SMH king for going home with 2 HIIs in his pocket.
