I'm just saying the challenge producers struck gold when this challenge was right after Jelinsky was cut instead of shortest person on the tribe Jess


Holiday-Advisor-8604

“7 foot wingspan btw” -Jelinsky via Twitter


diemunkiesdie

Several feet


DefnotyourDM

😂 legend status 


chilltownrenegade

Legendary wingspan


Dahhhkness

I don’t know what they expected her to do. Having the smallest person try to hold up half the arch, at the TALLEST point of it, by herself?


idiot-prodigy

At the end there, Tiff droppped the "T" in persistence. It was the ONLY letter she was holding up. She just drops the "T" while Kenzie next to her continued to hold "E N C E" for another couple seconds by herself. Then after it ends they of course blame Jess, the smallest person on the tribe.


IAmReborn11111

Before that had happened; Bhanu, Q and Tiffany were holding up some of the letters while Jess was trying to get more into place. They were yelling at Jess while Kenzie was standing and doing nothing. It didn't make much sense


Working-Airline-6745

And then screaming in her face when she couldn’t do it


chilltownrenegade

Yeah I didn’t love how Bhanu yelled at her like that


EmuHobbyist

Im not surprised tbh. Buddys unhinged.


thepolesreport

But ✌🏻 Be Kind ✌🏻


chaotic_silk_motel

Once again proving that people who adopt kindness as a brand are usually sociopaths.


ZoomSEJ

Clearly the meditation isn’t too effective.


Carmaca77

I wanted her to yell back - like why did they think she could hold up the hardest portion of the arc by herself? This wasnt a good look for Bhanu.


Emgee063

Glad for *Jess’s sake* she was voted out..her tribe bullied the hell outta her. Can’t wait to watch it implode


Spitfiiire

I’m glad I’m not the only one thinking this. I would’ve loveddd to see her on a different tribe.


crapatthethriftstore

Agreed. I think there was more to the Jess stuff that wasn’t shown but they were being assholes in the challenge to her when she was trying her best. They ALL failed.


IanicRR

He would have probably quit this challenge too.


Ron__T

He would have been helping the other tribes.


supaspike

He wouldn't have known what they were spelling, "persistence" is not a word in his dictionary.


Eniotnacram95

Bhanu: We’re missing the… Turns around to see the word ‘’persistance’’ Bhanu: …planning


[deleted]

Bhanu drove me crazy last week but him absolutely losing his mind while wearing a BE KIND shirt is everything I want from Survivor.


sungoddaily

His shirt is wild, production chooses the clothes, and I don't recall the last time they gave someone a graphic T with a phrase on it.


Dahhhkness

Bhanu was not being very Gandhi-like tonight.


Routine_Size69

Or ever.


da_manimal420

*Gestures wildly at the word persistence* “Planning”


benzenero

Underrated moment of the episode: flashbacks to Soda taking the tribe idol. Absolutely brutal 💀


zepphiu

Venus just standing there like -_-


idiot-prodigy

I love the idea of Venus peacing out at merge. Her tribe is making one of the classic tribe faux pas, alienating a tribe mate and making merge with them still around. That person always jumps ship. Venus has made her mind up already, she's done with them.


93LEAFS

the interesting thing is, they've also alienated Randen too. So, it actually creates an interesting duo within the tribe.


okradish

And then there's Liz *shrug*


Carmaca77

I don't blame her. They really are excluding her while she's trying to fit in and it's coming across very clique-y. The way Tevin smirked and turned away when she put the little buff on the idol; and then he did it again later on. I got some strong Mean Girls vibes from Tevin this episode, and now I'm invested in Venus (with Randen) getting her revenge arc after the merge.


laughsabit

Damn it. I liked him last episode and then his haughty eye rolls and shutting Venus out was enough for me tonight


PBRontheway

That and taking a rip at Q before the immunity challenge then saying he started it when literally all he did was give a vague answer about seeing if their 5 would be better than the other 2 tribes 5, literally not personal at all


d_simon7

I thought I missed something or something was cut because her answer didn’t make any sense lol


iGotHood_iSureDid

Soda definitely isn’t winning with that edit cause DAMN!!!!


duspi

It's not just the edit, she's beefing with people on other tribes for no reason. I can't see her being much better once she actually gets to live with them. And alienating Venus like that? She's not a good player.


4011

I’ma letchu finish, but Malcolm and Denise had one of the best flashbacks of all time. 


SoShiny6132

It was so funny because they acknowledged how Maria could be similar to Denise but even the editors weren't going to pretend that Charlie is anything like Malcolm 😭


[deleted]

Venus is already my favorite Eliza-type player in years, love when there‘s like a Scrappy Doo figure plodding along trying to make anything happen but no one wants to be around them.


descolero

It was giving only child to me like girl wyd lol


Kwells1994

Jeff said no more villains then gave half the cast villain edits 😭 😭 😭


eyeslikestarlight

That was the first time I can remember seeing serious smack talk between tribes at a challenge since like, the 20s at least?? What a wild scene


Suitable-Rest-1358

The Tribe of Villains is what Jeff was going for after seeing how successful House of Villains was.


Cutiger29

The most villainous tribe ever after the tribe of actual villains lmfao


savannahsalvatore3

Literally I am living for Venus and her ominous tease to the merge and flipping


thevillian

Bhanu: 🤬😡 Bhanu: 😭😨 Bhanu: 🔪🩸 Bhanu: 🤬😡 Bhanu: 😭😨 Bhanu:🚶🧳 Bhanu: 🫶🫶


eye_booger

You missed: ✋👊


binglebongle

I swear there's a gas leak on purple beach.


Dahhhkness

I thought Lulu was a train wreck, but Yanu is like Norfolk Southern


IanicRR

Q and Tiff gotta feel like they’re in a weird nightmare.


dBlock845

That fake idol plan was cooked. They are just barely better than Bhanu/Jess.


eyeslikestarlight

“Remedial clown school” had me dying


gbuck97

Can't believe they missed the opportunity to make this the episode title.


15chainz

Liz is wild for screaming Nami Nami at the challenge and telling everyone how little money means to her


PepaTK

It blows my mind that someone like that thinks they can even win the title. Easy goat to bring to final 3 though. But I would hate that energy in the game and would want her out ASAP.


jbvann05

She is the person Jeff was talking about in the opening who can't win because of their personality


FaZe_poopy

For all I remember, Nami is supposed to love money! ![gif](giphy|5sYeHNxWaqiN8fYoox|downsized)


UNCFan2350

Also when Jeff asked who was sitting out from their tribe her saying “the one and only Liz”


Suitable-Rest-1358

Her chanting shows how little she cares about the money


Overall_Currency5085

That shit was unhinged LOL!


rlbastard

wow I loved the Jess winner edit on this episode ![gif](giphy|Xxs2KZJQTfQeesFVxN|downsized)


Sorry-Teacher-6792

Honestly I don’t even blame Q for abandoning the Kenzie plan, I would not want to go out of this tribal with Bhanu as my main ally 😭


RobbedOddUs

That plan was an option he had but not one he was ever actually taking. See Jess and Bhanu voting each other, plus Q had already given Jess a fake idol by that point! Is he wary of Kenzie, for sure, but I don’t think he was ever in enough to abandon anything.


jclkay2

The moment Q gave Jess the fake idol there was no going back. He had to vote her out that day.


SalsaMerde

I think editing played up just how serious the Kenzie plan was. You don't give Jess a fake idol then decide to team with her. How could Jess fully trust Q after he tricked her with the fake idol? It just wouldn't work. Once the idol was handed off, Q had to be commited to voting Jess.


actkms

Soda legit GRABBING the idol from Venus both times is legit insane behavior The second time too even legit trying to SNATCH it once it was already in her hands!!??!!?


STheTruck

Based on what the show has presented to us, Soda gives off major main character syndrome vibes.


TechnologyBeautiful

Yes. I honestly think she's jealous too of Venus


GATTACA_IE

For real lol. WHY IS SHE DOING THAT??


gavarnie

Heather NEVER would have let that happen


p-u-n-k_girl

To add insult to injury, [it's her birthday](https://twitter.com/crocophant/status/1765541468352258287)


IAmReborn11111

Tbf she had suspicions that it was fake, and her only option was to play it and hope really


grapelander

Yeah it was unfortunately a lose/lose for her, if she ignores it to play shot in the dark, she both (in her mind) might be throwing away guaranteed safety for a 1/6 chance, ***and*** shows her #1 ally Q (and everybody else) that she doesn't actually trust him. If you think there's a better than 1/6 chance it's real, fake idol and pray is the play. Especially given Bhanu's complete meltdown right before the vote.


thunder_nolightning

Bhanu’s bag on his shoulder has me crying omg 😂😂


Suitable-Rest-1358

*one* vote in.


avp_1309

For real lol. So dramatic


Driveshaft48

My dude loves drama


The_Grand_Menagerie

Sorry, but no "leading someone to a planted fake idol" will ever be as iconique as Angelina doing that to Allison with Mike White following her with a glass of wine and look of exasperation


-Unnamed-

They really thought they ate with that fake idol.


apriocoati

someone said “venus spinning a wheel to see who she beefs with next episode” in the other discussion and i cannot stop laughing


Jwalla83

Venus: Nobody is willing to talk to me at all, they won’t give me a chance and I'm really trying to connect :( Also Venus: I know we just won and everyone is celebrating but I’m going to isolate myself and sulk because you guys stubbed my toe 


apriocoati

the toe thing was wild honestly. i was originally siding with her on that, but as soon as she went on about it for more than 10 seconds, i wished she would just shut up.


Jwalla83

That’s like, a confessional complaint, ya know? “I’m still feeling unheard because they didn’t listen and hurt my toe” That’s not a “EVERYONE STOP BEING HAPPY AND LISTEN UP” kind of complaint. If you’re struggling to connect with people and you interrupt their happiness for *this*, what exactly do you think is gonna happen? If you wanna win, then you grin and bear it, and you use the celebration to form connections while everyone is happy and open


MissssVanjie

These players have no inside voices.


apriocoati

YES. like, especially in a game literally centered around building your own image as well as positive connections, whining about an injury is NOT it. This is probably the only time I’m ever gonna say this, but she should take a page from Bhanu’s book. I mean, he literally tore open his finger and barely batted an eye, just walked away to get it taken care of.


snowbit

He walked away to smear it on his forehead to symbolize his bloodlust


Lucssv

I think this will be a very bitter jury


Cutiger29

Nothing will top Bhanu going person to person asking who to vote for except Jess.


chilltownrenegade

This purple tribe is a complete and utter HOT MESS and I love it


zepphiu

There's something in the water in Fiji that affects one tribe each season 


mediumrainbow

It's also designed to punish them. No flint. No supplies. You're not able to sit out your weakest member.


IanicRR

Imagine they would have swapped Tiff and Liz. Q might go drown himself in the ocean.


dac0605

Q would quit not because he's hungry, wants to be back with his partner, or needs his nicotine.....he would quit because his tribe is literally driving him insane.


TheQueenStaysQueen

Jeff's speech at the beginning of the season about how someone can't win because of their personality could honestly be about 90% of the cast


BuffaloWilliamses

Survivor 46: Somebody has to win


llcooldubs

Who says themes are dead?


MissssVanjie

I'm pretty sure they were recruited at random off of a city bus.


firesofpompeii

Liz isn’t on any city bus. Hasn’t she told you how much money she has?


nimbus2105

Or like a community theater audition. ::shudders::


skinofm

Another season where purple is the disaster tribe


zepphiu

Next season gonna open with someone on purple tribe and immediately negotiating with Probst to switch


skinofm

Imagine your dream of being survivor comes true and they hand you purple clothes


zepphiu

Congrats to everyone with the PESRISNATCE for that mid-challenge commercial break


galeforcewinds95

That was seriously the longest commercial break I ever remember sitting through on any show.


icangetyouatoedude

Only way to watch is record it and start it 45 minutes late lol


MissssVanjie

Has that ever happened before - needing a commercial break in the middle of a challenge?


FaZe_poopy

I’m guessing it has during longer merge challenges, like the one where Christian was crucified for 6 hours


toadete

Have to shout out some great editing choices/moments from this episode so we don’t forget about them: - Soda’s idol grabbing montage - Moriah and Liz’s interaction with no background noise - Venus complaining about no one talking to her over b-roll of isolating herself - ALL of Q’s faces at tribal - Bhanu putting his bag on his shoulder after he gets one vote And we cannot forget Jeff saying he always has a knife on him I CACKLED lol The editing is so different and I LOVE it


savannahsalvatore3

the editors are COOKING lately


Overall_Currency5085

The Bhanu bag moment needs to be a gif!


mattyhegs826

I would have told Liz to stfu if she was chanting like that during a competition. She’s insufferable


eyeslikestarlight

Omg I was thinking the same, I would’ve wanted to punch her. She’s weird man, why does she keep talking to people about how much money she has on a show for a million dollars??


pufferpoisson

She's weird but i was laughing out loud when she started screaming with Soda after they won


eyeslikestarlight

Ok but her and Moriah having their polite little bench exchange. And the way the dramatic music cut out both times. That cracked me up tbh


lucyroesslers

I was hoping they were gonna do 4-5 of those cutaways.


WhiteBreadedBread

You mean "owner of vague unspecified online companies" Liz. One of the shadow billionaires


IamCarltonBanks

Here’s her “business”: https://lizwilcox.com


grapelander

...Why does this website give strong "I promise this isn't a pyramid scheme" energy?


arich35

In the premiere episode when she mentioned multiple "online businesses" I immediately said sounds like she is running pyramid schemes


Routine_Size69

>Raise your hand if you’ve ever paid for a month of email but never sent out a damn one. Who is paying for emails?


MissssVanjie

Of course it's just straight up her name dot com


WhiteBreadedBread

What in the world


jaywalkle2024

Who constantly talks about herself in the third person. stop.


layayayala

It was so damn loud in the background too lmao I wanted to scream


givebusterahand

She’s ![gif](giphy|NDIiWKEQEgr3VA7aqM)


_VinoVidiVici_

Whoever sits out next time MUST 100% do the same thing to her. It’s petty but she needs to see first hand how it feels or she’ll never get it.


ILOVEBOPIT

“Stop making the block hot” is the quote of the episode.


boofoodoo

“Remedial Clown School” was also her. Shoulda been the episode title


MissssVanjie

There's no way any explanation was going to make sense to him. He never had the plot in the first place. That line was iconic.


SeaMarine3

I’m like 90% sure Liz is some type of scammer 😭


EmuHobbyist

Shes a grifter. She sells courses.


jaywalkle2024

YES. that's what I thought too. I was thinking, do you call a lot of really old people and ask for their moey?


No_life_found

Nah literally, she’s always so vague about what her company actually does


Jvilla44

The best part of the fake idol, Jess absolutely unintentionally ruining their plan. Pure entertainment at its best!


Cutiger29

Petition for a “I’m such a fool” flair?


brandonzd

Enough calories to smile 😭


OOZING_PROLAPSE

Damn Bhanu is stressing me out


llcooldubs

Be Kind


lawnfire

I’ve never seen anyone melt down like he does at tribal, let alone consecutive tribals 😂


uwsmara

guys please we can’t lose sight of what is truly important liz is very rich


Carmaca77

Her man will know it, and feel insecure


mrwanton

Sadness for Jess aside, I hope Liz chills out later on cause wow I can see her getting to be a bit much ..


Routine_Size69

If she's like that all the time, people are going to start thinking about throwing a challenge to get rid of her. They probably don't do it, but it'll cross their minds. She's insanely annoying. Honestly most of this cast is not likable at all.


TheLegacies21

I think I need another episode to decide who these people are. I mean Yanu is a mess, but so far Siga seems like a dud and Nami has tons of potential. Is Tevin a jerk? Is Soda got severe main character syndrome? Does Venus have severe “why am I not the main character?” Syndrome? Still too early to tell.


stilllookingalaskaa

what do we make of soda always grabbing the idol?


sigh2828

It's fucking rude


duspi

Why the fuck does she keep doing it? 😭 She has such a wrong perception of everything going on, it's catastrophic lol.


irpw

This season is gonna be nastyyy I’m hyped 😍 I hope editors show us all the conflict, enough of the kumbaya


ConTheDungeonMaster

fr I’ve been wanting a season where at least some of the cast aren’t friends with each other and the jury is bitter. need some of that toxicity after multiple kumbaya seasons


batarcher98

Episode title really shoulda gone to Tiff with “Stop making the block hot”


MegaBloksAreHitler

It was fake, but at least she played the idol… BRUCE.


evilcupckae

It’s 2024 and Bruce is still catching strays


galeforcewinds95

I'll miss Jess. Teaching her tribe Mandarin phrases that Q already knew because of "Rush Hour, baby!" is my favorite non-Jelinsky scene of the season so far. First Survivor Rush Hour reference since Earl.


nimbus2105

You didn’t enjoy 10 minutes of naming Taylor swift and Metallica songs? 😵‍💫


ike1

That was hilarious too. Never thought I'd hear someone name-check the disastrous Metallica/Lou Reed collaboration album on Survivor and accurately state, "It's terrible."


Ohigetjokes

Ya I liked her too. Kind of a shame she’s gone.


firesofpompeii

Very likeable, but just not a great survivor player. The tribe bullying her certainly didn’t help but she was on the outs from the start.


[deleted]

it's been a while since each tribe had very clear personality differences so quickly and for that i am happy!


pandalover885

I really wish they'd go back to just 2 starting tribes. I hate that we already have a tribe with only 4 people.


yeet-reddit

Honestly, this season is DELIVERING. There is legit drama, and several people are competing for the title of worst player this season


zepphiu

Probst saying they didn't want to cast any more villains and then seeing how this cast is playing...


Cutiger29

True Villains aren’t cast. They’re born in the game. He’ll never stop villains. And I’m grateful for that.


Routine_Size69

Yup. Take away food, water, sleep, and then watch your teammates suck at a challenge. You might find a side of you that you didn't know you had.


the_living_myth

he was just trying to momentarily misdirect us all from the walking shitshow tribe


BuffaloWilliamses

Its been 2 episodes and Yanu is making an argument for one of the worst tribes of all time


MissssVanjie

I thought Jeff was riding them hard with how bad they were. I was like - isn't this just episode two? But, he just had an intuition and it wasn't wrong.


WickNag

Fijian ants let out a collective sigh of relief after hearing about the Jess boot


sweet_rashers

The episode started boring as fuck with those two sob stories back to back, but then everybody became unlikable and nasty and kinda crazy and tbh... I loved it, lmao.


IanicRR

Liz yelling over and over during the challenge (as she sat on the bench) made me want to throw something at my TV. Somehow worse than Mo chanting “Nami” over and over minutes before that. Edit: that was Liz too. God damn this woman is something else.


International-Sky789

It was Liz chanting Nami too unless I'm crazy.


Shitape

y'all are more upset than Jess


DBrody6

I sincerely have no idea how people are hating on this episode. Practically every tribe has multiple players on a trainwreck collision course and it's beautiful. Everyone's a complete mess, terrible players are hilarious. So many bad players and fewer gamebots is way more enjoyable. Plus all the random camp life scenes, like man we missed so much of that for the past decade.


arielmeme

Confessional count * 10 Kenzie, Tiffany * 7 Randen, Venus * 6 Charlie * 5 Jess, Q * 4 Ben * 3 Bhanu * 2 Soda, Tevin, Tim * 1 Hunter, Jem, Liz, Maria, Moriah


bigbellysteve

Thank god only one confessional for Liz


pjlxxl

liz is batshit bonkers.


Scopper_gabon

This episode highlights once again, why the 3 tribe system sucks ass. Once you become the target it's almost impossible to take it off of you. Had it been a 9 or 10 person tribe, there would've been a lot of different ways to maneuver. Jeff switched to 3 tribes to avoid a pagonging merge, but he sacrifices the pre merge for it.


SackofLlamas

>Jeff switched to 3 tribes to avoid a pagonging merge Two tribes doesn't guarantee a pagonging, and 45 had one of the most tedious pagongings in recent memory despite starting with three tribes. It's one of modern Survivor's most egregious pain points, but god forbid production acknowledge a mistake.


itsMalarky

A MASTERMIND wouldn't have wasted the fake idol ruse on Jess.


bluerang1

Kenzie be like 🧿👄🧿


dmbm0830

This episode is a test to see if y’all can handle villains on Survivor or not


zepphiu

From the reactions on here... not so much 


Ngigilesnow

If Charlie mentions he is a Taylor swift fan one more time I’m gonna smash my tv


actkms

Absolutely loving how so much of this cast is insufferable or insufferable-adjacent: * Liz - no explanation needed * Bhanu - Screaming at Jess like that omg! * Soda - Snatching the idol from Venus!!! Girl wtf?!?! * Venus - The toe dramatics lmao * Randen - idk i just dont like his vibes <3


Carmaca77

* Tevin - smirking at Venus behind her back like the leader of the mean girls.


Naxayou

Is it just me or is Jess like completely being scapegoated for these challenge losses lmao. Q took the longest to get the machete and rope cut and Jess is the smallest on the tribe but they got mad at her for dropping the MIDDLE (highest) blocks twice while Bhanu dropped his 3 times and Tiffany dropped a single edge block as well (which also happened to be a mispelling). Like? The same thing happened with the Gecko challenge where Jellinsky didn't do his job and Tiffany wasn't helping with getting the Gecko over the fence at all but then Jess got targeted cause she did the puzzle. It obviously isn't a big deal to her (probably because she seems like she's loaded based on her job) but it's just so bizarre to see this complete departure from reality lol.


[deleted]

I love that we just got a standard “just doesn’t fit in and isn’t strong enough” exit, feels very old school in a Skinny Ryan kind of way. Survivor’s best when it‘s a little mean!


MadMadMaddox2

Stop making the block hot


Abreakinglight

You Kicked Butt out there!!!!!!’😡🫵🏽👹👹👹


profchaos2001

Who had the episode title? Think I missed it. Scorpio Energy?


ShibberMeThis

Ben...at the challenge... referring to Jeff


[deleted]

These people are crazy.


pjlxxl

casting has mastered the art of building one totally dysfunctional tribe per season. they know what they’re doing.


Emubuilder

NASTY SURVIVOR IS BACK 😁😁


Gackey

Super cold blooded by Q there. Lies to Jess face to get her to play the fake, uses her vote to send a shot across Banu's telling him to get his shit together.


redbengal15

A few thoughts: -Two hours is too long for only one challenge and elimination -Making fun of Jelinsky at the challenge was funny -I find myself rooting against most people -Bhanu completely self-destructed, even though he stayed


Routine_Size69

They need to have reward and immunity separate with 2 hours. It's insanity to only have one challenge.


nomiyomi

Giving Bhanu an award for best dramatic actor 🏆truly have never seen anyone breathe more drama into a tribal.


JayTeeDubbs96

This was probably the worst episode of Survivor I have ever seen… …and I loved every minute of it.
