Also, why didnt Maria bring up at the second to last Tribal that Liz screwed Charlie, Kenzy and Ben out of immunity too by "cheating"? Not just Maria. It might not have saved her but it was worth a discussion with your back to the wall.

Took me 3 seperate times to get through it all (and still watching the after show right now). Lots of thoughts and may come out in random order:
As everyone has already said, Liz is so delusional. Shes crying now about how she played her game. BLAH!
Im fine with Liz coming over and helping Kenzie figure out what it meant and tell her to go get the plank. I am not ok with her physically running back and getting it for her. BUT I feel like Jeff knows the rules front and back right? I mean surely, he would have stopped her if it was officially not a rule?
I said I was ok with either Charlie or Kenzie winning but then, for some reason, I was really rooting for Charlie over Kenzie by final tribal. And I thought Charlie had it until final tribal. Then I thought Kenzie knocked it out of the ball park and Charlie gave some eh answers, so then I thought Kenzie had it but thought she "won" it at final tribal. But now I think it might have been Kenzie all along.
Anyway, I, too, thought Maria seemed like a bitter juror and that was just a lame excuse. I like who ever pointed about the bitter jury Maria / Liz flip cancel each other out and that made me feel better about Charlie losing.
Thanks for posting all the extra interviews and post info here.
While I like the season as it was happening, I feel like it finish less interestingly and have the final feeling of didn't love the season. IDK. I have a lot going on personally (in a good way, all good things) - so I wonder if Im just less focused and overly (personally) emotional that the game isn't hitting it for me. But still excited for next season.

allornothing: When our personal lives are a bit overwhelming, even favorite shows can seem less enjoyable. For us a lot happens in the summer, which is when Big Brother happens and there has been a couple seasons that I found to be less enjoyable, while other FORT regulars called it a great season. So, I agree that where we are at emotionally, physically and mentally can color a season. I went back and watched the entire season finale again. ![:lol](//storage.proboards.com/6943657/images/kZvKcZukVaJcAqJidzda.gif) I just wanted to watch Maria more closely, especially at tribal. She seemed placid just sitting there, or maybe stoic is the word, while watching Liz and Kenzie making fire. As if she didn’t care, while most of the jury seemed invested. You can see their looks to each other every time Liz had a fire started, then relief when it went out. Tiff, Tevin and Q were saying, what’s going on she (Kenzie) made fire all the time back on Bhanu. Then When Kenzie achieved fire rope burning (the supposedly defining moment)……Again, Maria just sitting there. I don’t know maybe a million thoughts were in her head, but she still looked placid and unmoved. But later, when Jeff was asking Q (at what point did you know your vote was going to Kenzie, ) he replied when she answered my question.” I liked her honesty” . Maria was smiling and nodding her head in affirmation, Maria became animated. So, whatever she wants to say was her motivation to change her vote from Charlie is fine, but body language showed she loved Kenzie’s answer and related to her personally with that response. ![:shrug](//storage.proboards.com/6943657/images/UjEYIawKr0DSmqWzXgnU.gif)

Uh oh, the hate towards Maria is full-blown, so that many are calling for a stop to it (which shouldn't have to be said). I've seen many posts on X (Twitter), such as from Charlie, telling people to stop with the hate! No one has to agree with her, but to send her hateful messages and call her work (from what I've heard), is taking it too far. She has a right to play the game as she wanted to, and vote for who she wanted to. Why do strangers feel the need to attack people online? Boggles my mind. This was cute: Charlie and Austin got together (the "3-5 gang"). ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/6943657/images/fQqMrRhFTEgZxjoKnOdX.gif) Hope this tweet goes through this time:

I wish she'd just step away.

There is a sort of cult "hate" across this country, an intolerance of anyone who disagrees with you. I don't know if covid was the start of it, or if was always there, just not freely expressed. I'm not referring to political issues, although it exists there as well. I'm referring to the strong presence of social media attacks. We used to refer to it as bullying, trolling, but it's hatred manifested and magnified and applauded even. It seems to just fester in hearts.... but, that 'negativity' freely expressed, is damaging to the feeling level of all humans.

I have come to the conclusion (sadly) that Survivor is just too woke for me. Kenzie and Ben in the final? The last few seasons have seen a dramatic change from the Survivor of old. I stay addicted to it like a drug, only to be disappointed in the ridiculousness of the final jury votes.

baskerville first ![:welcome](//storage.proboards.com/6943657/images/AvuncSOaHWpRRnGXyVAU.gif) So glad to have you commenting!
Survivor is different these days, I agree; never would have imagined that Ben would end up in Finale. Kenzie I saw as a fighter from the start, although I too thought she would have been eliminated before the end. But, Charlie choosing to target the most likely people to "win" Survivor, and forming an alliance of 'unlikely to win' was a smart strategy. In one way, I am glad it didn't pan out that way for him, because if it had, that's all we would expect to see from now on. Weaker players aligning to target the harder working ones.
I'd love an older version where the strongest players battle it out. But, I think those days are past.
