Anyone listen to Maddy’s exit interview? Filled in a lot of holes for why people did what they did. No, what did she say?

I didn't listen to her interview but I read an exit interview on EW: ew.com/tv/survivor-44-maddy-pomilla-interview/. In that she basically said Jaime was always the target (which is why she played her shot in the dark) and said that tribal council was actually a live tribal with people getting up to talk with one another and she didn't know why none of that was shown. But that's why Brandon ended up playing his idol and Matthew also played the shot in the dark - they both thought it could be them. The interview is pretty funny ... I think she comes off as believing she's one of the best players ever.

I am ignoring all the comments here, as I am watching tonight.
But, I wanted to see if anyone else is watching Australian Survivor? It is a top tier season, absolutely amazing.

You have to be crafty to watch. Dailymotion has most episodes of older seasons. I am actually doing a rewatch of Survivor 2016 on there now. For the current season, I found a youtube channel (Macy76) that has all the episodes of the current season. I definitely suggest starting from the beginning so you can get to know all the players before watching the current season.

Because it def seemed like Jamie was just a lunatic who played it for no reason. But it also frustrates me that tribals are like 4 hours long and Jeff keeps digging for dirt to make them talk and make them fight and make them get up and converse and throw everyone off. I wish there were just like 15 min vote and GTFO out. Most people end up saying too much, saying something they shouldn't but how can you get around that when Jeff is holding you hostage until you talk for drama

I’m hoping that the shot in the dark will be sent to the survivor graveyard after this season, now that someone has finally received safety from it. I’m tired of hearing about it
While I’m glad they also changed up the risk/reward outcomes this season, I’m also SO tired of this bit.
I really hope someone can secretly find the key to the birdcage on the other tribes. I also really really hope someone can make a good fake idol. I’m glad (edited to fix) *Brandon’s* idol at least worked for him and kept him alive in the game, but who knows if his name would have even been out there if not for finding the key.
Matthew is SO LUCKY he didn’t seriously injure himself climbing that rock. What a dumb decision that was - he literally could have killed himself.

Okay, we watched it tonight and it sucks. My winner pick was Bruce. Lol.
I am over nine bazillion advantages. The fact that only 3 people could vote and an idol was used first tribal shows how far gone it is.

At the rate this season is going, I think the only person with a lock on "outwit, outplay, outlast" is the medic.

It must have been a weird edit that none of that team was accusing Carolyn of having the idol. And it was weird that the same girl sat out the challenge, to me you're the first one I'm voting off if you don't help us win any challenges. Not sure her strategy there.

I can’t wait to hear the exit interview and find out why that happened because again, so much didn’t make sense.

Carolyn is awesome and crazy and totally nuts. I want her to stay around for awhile for entertainment purposes, but I can’t see her going too far. She reminds me of Noura from season 39

I guess my unpopular opinion for today is I don’t really enjoy Carolyn. She stresses me out. There’s no way I could live with her.

I also wondered why no one immediately thought it was Carolyn who had the idol when the editing made it seem like everyone else was together and only one person was missing from the personal belongings dump. I read Helen's exit interview hoping for clarity and it didn't really help. She said that they never really slept and people were searching for the key constantly, which would make sense with them questioning everyone. But at the same time, if the bag had been closed the whole time and suddenly was open and empty when everyone except Carolyn returned it kinda seems all signs point to Carolyn.
I didn't pick up on it when watching but read that the real idol Carolyn got from the birdcage is the fake idol that Danny got (the silver coin-ish medallion is the real idol for Carolyn but fake for Danny). At least that adds a bit of a twist.
I think Frannie and Matt are cute. But they are not playing smart at all.

GameNight, on RHAP she said Carolyn was so open and just unapologetically who she was that they didn’t really believe she’d be able to lie if she had it so they believed her when she said she didn’t. Since her energy was kind of nervous all the time, it wasn’t alarming for it to Be that way when talking about the idol. Basically, they underestimated her.

If the teams merge there could be drama with someone being all, "but that's fake!" Or at least the new tribe-mates wouldn't recognize it.

I enjoyed all of the fake idol planting this episode. I loved Danny thinking to put the fake one back in the birdcage and make sure everyone knows Matt found it. Also loved Matthew finding the other idol, and then basing the looks of a fake one off the real one. I loved that he knowingly led Jaime towards where he hid it - I just hope it doesn’t come back to bite him if he wants to work with her but then has to tell her it’s a fake if she’s in danger early on, hoping she’s not all WTF if you knew it was fake why did you let me believe it was real in the first place.
I liked Claire, but if your going to voluntarily sit out of every competition, you gotta know that’s painting a huge target on your back. That’s the game. A for effort for trying to make it seem like you were doing it for the strength and betterment of the team, but that reasoning is too little too late.

I really like Carolyn, she's slowing been growing on me.
As a major aside, it bothered me that Sarah and Yam Yam both said at tribal that Carolyn always takes things the wrong way and gets offended. I really dislike when someone tells another person that they're not reacting correctly to a comment about them just because they wouldn't feel that way themselves. I don't really blame Carolyn for going rogue there after all of those dynamics, although I'm not sure how it will shake out for her.

So far the first 4 boots have all been young females. I think RHAP said they were all only a few years apart in age (Maddy, Helen, Claire and now Sarah)… so just 5 females remain in the game - Carolyn, Jaime, Lauren, Heidi, and Frannie. That’s …. cool 🙄😐

Carolyn’s fake idol move is my favorite so far. I loved it too, but I honestly can’t believe they didn’t question it, unless it wasn’t shown. Like really? An X on the cage, and then an X appears at camp, and tah dah, the clue is right there? Production would never give such an obvious clue.

My friend thinks Carolyn wins because the opening scene of the season was her being goofy/weird and apparently they did the same thing with Maryann and Gabler. Opening the show like "look at this wild character that stands no chance" so who knows.... His lie about being a personal trainer was definitely not executed well. I feel bad for the fake idol with the real note because how would you know it's fake in that case. It's not like the past where players did a real janky fake one with no note.
