[reece(:]

[Headie]

Ddd Keith's revenge for being pushed over

[Macie Lightfoot]

[JerseyWins]

[Headie]

[reece(:]

[reece(:]

Reem Island has legit got me invested in a season I'd usually be "Meh" over at this point

[reece(:]

We got no Manu footage pre -challenge? or did I miss that bit

[Headie]

Mess I thought Lauren had cut ha hair for a sec

[Headie]

What is it with these bloody puzzle this season

[JerseyWins]

FFFFFFFFFFFFF @ the two losing tribes going to TC :omgno:

[reece(:]

Two different tribals or two go to 1? SHOOK

[Macie Lightfoot]

Yeah honestly the biggest blindside is EOE being a good thing for now.

Reem getting her advantage stolen by Keith but then getting mad at Chris instead <3 we stan a rational queen.

[Headie]

Mess is it gonna be one big tribal again like Malcolm's vote off or two separate ones

[reece(:]

Mess is it gonna be one big tribal again like Malcolm's vote off or two separate ones
Lowkey want a Malcolm one again that was a mess

[JerseyWins]

Mess is it gonna be one big tribal again like Malcolm's vote off or two separate ones
Don't remind us about this tragic result!

They should never bring that twist back again after that happened

[Headie]

Bye if it's one tribal council then Wentworth/Vicky and their thugs will target Wendy

[Macie Lightfoot]

Wardog would be so much funnier with a joke edit

[Headie]

Either Wendy is the swing vote or Wendy is the unanimous boot </3

[Macie Lightfoot]

Two tribes going to one tribal is ****ing STUPID it's one of the dumbest twists omg

[reece(:]

If those ****ers come for Wendy!

[JerseyWins]

Ohhhh so they are combining tribes at TC. Please let this be a saving grace for Team Lesu to keep everyone :fc:

[reece(:]

Wardog or David boot pls :fc:

[Headie]

Literally any of them bar Wendy can go and I wouldn't care less

[Macie Lightfoot]

This is ****ing ****e it's gonna be like 7-1 Big Wendy

[reece(:]

Literally any of them bar Wendy can go and I wouldn't care less

Ok teé

[Jack_]

Let’s bin Kama off and instate the whole EoE tribe cause they are a scream!

[Headie]

Let’s bin Kama off and instate the whole EoE tribe cause they are a scream!

A Pearl Islands tea except instead of 2 in 2 out it's 6?

[JerseyWins]

Let’s bin Kama off and instate the whole EoE tribe cause they are a scream!
The EoE people do make a really hilarious tribe but I mean I guess it was just the Lesu tribe minus what's left of it :joker:

[JerseyWins]

GAH this tribe is gonna stay strong it seems :worry:

[reece(:]

Stay strong Manu :love:

[Headie]

This white boy who's name I've forgot is being shown a tad too much, he's about to get rocked out!

[reece(:]

Gavin's a cutie

[reece(:]

Shady Vicky strikes again

[JerseyWins]

Wait WHAT did Victoria just say? :laugh2: I missed whatever it was before she said no one should trust her lol

Here for a Gavin/Eric boot tho if we could get that with a Wendy flip :fc:

[reece(:]

Wardog better leave Wendy alone

[Headie]

Ok Wardog OUT

[reece(:]

It's gonna be Lesu + Vicky voting Wendy :(

[JerseyWins]

These Lesu people are so willing to give in to the other side ffs this TC might be a MESS :clap1:

Wardog might be digging his own grave as well :laugh2:

[JerseyWins]

Kelley WentWORTHIT finding an idol :clap1: :clap1: :clap1:

[reece(:]

Lauren's EYE ROLL AHH

[Macie Lightfoot]

1) Victoria is the most scrump person alive <3
2) Lauren only played Survivor to go to Ponderosa
3) Wardog being a lazy turd makes me like him more?

[Headie]

Bye which producer rigged that for Wentworth

[JerseyWins]

Yeah so I didn't like the idea of this double tribe TC happening again but this is so hectic going into it that I like the suspense now :clap2:

And as long as Kelley & David are off the radar like it SEEMS, then I don't even care that much about who goes anyway :clap1:

[JerseyWins]

Oh WAIT I forgot about Victoria being in this too, I hope she survives as well :worry:

[Headie]

Mess @ these News Channel commercials, imagine if the UK did them, we'd be getting messy Theresa soundbites :joker:

[JerseyWins]

Are they gonna start the whispering again like in the Malcolm one? :laugh:

[Macie Lightfoot]

Prediction based entirely off of reaction shots: Victoria flips and Gavin goes home.

[Headie]

Bye if it's Wendy and Wardog and Vicky/Lauren flip their votes and it still goes to rocks

[Headie]

Bye they're gonna trick poor Wendeh </3

[reece(:]

Bye they're gonna trick poor Wendeh </3
:(

[Headie]

These spellings of Lauren :skull:

[JerseyWins]

Wendy just sitting there while everyone else is whispering asgajshfskjahasjlk

[reece(:]

Wendy left out :(

[Macie Lightfoot]

LUAREN and LORINE jfc go to school people

Wendy just sitting in the middle of all of the scrambling <3

Also Victoria HAS to flip with all these shots of her looking nervously at people?

[Headie]

No one whispering to Wendy </3

[Macie Lightfoot]

Sigh they all flipped

[JerseyWins]

I'm honestly SHOOK @ David turning on Wendy tho :o

Was it a unanimous Big Wendy vote in the end? :skull:

[reece(:]

Worst outcome possible again? Lol this season

[Headie]

CANCEL the entire season, I stayed up an extra 2 hours for THIS??

[reece(:]

Reem, Wendy and Aubry Island keeps me invested.

[Headie]

This might be the worst boot order since MvGX?

[reece(:]

a Wendy merge we deserved

[Headie]

Knew I should've watched T'Challenge instead!

[Macie Lightfoot]

This might be the worst boot order since MvGX?

Sis relax are you that sad about Keith and Chris and Rick? :joker:

[reece(:]

A shame production had to RIG Wendy out!

[Macie Lightfoot]

The people who produce this show are ****ing morons because I don't understand how they watched GOLDEN BOY MALCOLM go home the last time they did a TC like this and thought "hmmmm let's do it again!!!"

[Jack_]

Wendy is amazing :love: a true gem <3

[Headie]

Sis relax are you that sad about Keith and Chris and Rick? :joker:

Chris was nice to look/thirst at, Keith was/is lowkey hilarious, Rick can stay gone tho!

[Headie]

So Chris vs 5 of the least athletic people from this season :skull:

[reece(:]

Anyway Wendy is getting the Sia cheque for saving the chickens

[Jack_]

A Pearl Islands tea except instead of 2 in 2 out it's 6?

Here for it!

The EoE people do make a really hilarious tribe but I mean I guess it was just the Lesu tribe minus what's left of it :joker:

Well I have been saying they’re the best tribe :whistle: coincidence?

[Jack_]

I want Wendy AND Reem back :(

[reece(:]

Reem better be there till day 36 dragging people left and right!

[JerseyWins]

Reem, Wendy and Aubry Island keeps me invested.
Well it's coming to an end next ep :fan:

I want Wendy AND Reem back :(
DUDE you can't have both back, make the right choice bro :fist:

[JerseyWins]

Oh yeah I forgot there's a second and maybe even third(?) redemption battle back ffs :joker:

[reece(:]

Well it's coming to an end next ep :fan:


It's staying until late merge get used to it :fan:

Then Reem will scalp the jury!

[reece(:]

p/BvQMuFGDPJ6

[Macie Lightfoot]

Honestly the more and more I think about this episode the more I come out stanning Wardog unironically? Sincerely insisting that fishing is counterproductive <3 Being a bulldozer of strategy and scheming, literally shouting ideas over people in the process <3 Being a lazy turd who refuses to do any work around camp <3

Conversely, DAVID is a ****ing useless bore who can **** off. Like, I wasn't not with him when he was just giving soundbites about how Kelley has to go, but he can't even do that correctly. He's serving no purpose.

I actually fully agree I prefer an angry messy dictator who takes no reason to a CPbot like David or Kelley

[Mokka]

Damn, Wentworth found the idol

[Mokka]

Wendy should have said chicken burger and shower... for the lols

[TomC]

Hmmm that episode was semi-enjoyable. HATED the twist though, Wendy going is AWFUL, so is Aubry tbh. I will be FUMED if it's not one of the gals who returns from EoE.

I honestly only stan Julie and Vic who's left but i don't feel that strongly abotu them

[Wizard.]

Anyway Wendy is getting the Sia cheque for saving the chickens

:joker::joker:

Why do they leave out random stuff like Devens reasons for giving Aubry the extra vote when I don't think they ever spoke?

[Wizard.]

Also am I correct in thinking that the EoE gals who lose the challenge to return can choose to return to the EoE for another chance or will they go home?

[TomC]

Also am I correct in thinking that the EoE gals who lose the challenge to return can choose to return to the EoE for another chance or will they go home?

They can go back to EOE. I wonder if this will be the point people start quitting :think:

[LemonJam]

New episode(s) thoughts:

- Omg Kelley sucks so much "David is basically a girl :/" "Wardog is just like Tony Vlachos :/" "The other tribe have had a free ride because of Joe >:(" like honestly, shut your entitled ass up. PISSED that she has another idol. I didn't get the appeal in SJDS, I was shocked she returned and still didn't get the appeal when she was in Cambodia and I CERTAINLY don't get the appeal now.

- I honestly don't have a clue what Edge of Extinction Island is about... have they actually bothered to explain how it works on the show?

- I'm really liking Victoria these past few episodes!

- Who is Aurora lol

- ****ing lol @ Rick giving Aubry the vote, somebody who he hasn't talked to but just happens to be a returning player on the outs of her tribe lmao, transparent production <3

- Wendy is possibly a top 10 Survivor of all time for me so I'm PRAYING she lasts longer :love: She'd be my ideal returnee but I'd also be happy with Reem, Chris or Aubry.

[Donovan.]

Kelley's really kinda sucking this time around. I saw her as an underdog on her first season, then liked her less in Cambodia, but liked her game. This time it just feels like she's struggling and can't stop blaming everyone else.

The best part of that first hour was Aubry's laugh when she thought that first vote was from Wendy. Idk what she was thinking lol Joe already told her not to trust Vic. Plus the body language when her tribe was telling her they'd get Wendy out was wayyy off. They were all looking straight at Aubry and telling her they needed to stick together.

And Vic seems sharp but it just feels like she's trying a little too hard to be a villain. I definitely want to see how that ends up.

I was late to my night shift because I wanted to see the last few minutes of the tribal council. I wouldn't have waited to see it if I'd known it was going to be Wendy. That was heartbreaking but it made complete sense. I knew it was coming I just hoped it wouldn't happen.

Idk who I want back. Like I could see Reem or Chris maybe doing something if they come back, but I really want it to be Wendy. I could also see Aubry's return unfolding into a nice way to close out Victoria's arc.

[LemonJam]

^ I agree with almost all of that with the exception of Victoria being tryhard. It was kinda fun last episode to have a potential wild card and I don't really feel that if she made the move that it would be Wentworthing (trying to camera hog)

[starry]

I thought there was too much in the edit on Wendy not really playing the game for her to last much longer. Loved the Aubry blindside.

[JerseyWins]

^ I agree with almost all of that with the exception of Victoria being tryhard. It was kinda fun last episode to have a potential wild card and I don't really feel that if she made the move that it would be Wentworthing (trying to camera hog)
Yeah to me Victoria is like the OPPOSITE of tryhard... I think she's more of someone who doesn't care to try at all and doesn't even care how she comes off or what kind of air time she gets :laugh:

Disagree with "Wentworthing" tho

[Donovan.]

^ I agree with almost all of that with the exception of Victoria being tryhard. It was kinda fun last episode to have a potential wild card and I don't really feel that if she made the move that it would be Wentworthing (trying to camera hog)

Yeah I'm not counting out production using literally all 4 mins they had of Victoria telling the camera guy not to trust her. They easily could've used very little footage cut up and used on every ep just to make that Aubry blindside make more sense.

And yess to the wildcard. Even though I knew that she was planning to set Aubry up for a blindside, she played it so well that there was this part of me thinking she might actually stick with Aubry. That was fun to watch.


Yeah to me Victoria is like the OPPOSITE of tryhard... I think she's more of someone who doesn't care to try at all and doesn't even care how she comes off or what kind of air time she gets :laugh:


But see, I feel like if she didn't care there wouldn't be the "don't trust me, I'm sooo conniving" confessionals plus the wink to camera after she got Aubry out was so on the nose.

Idk its still early and there could for sure be a reason for this edit. Plus she is fun to watch, I just don't want this turning into the Russel Hanz era part 2, where everyone thinks they have to make big moves to get a second season.

[armand.kay]

Wendy </3

[iRyan]

Even though we lost Aubrey and Wendy this episode I found it to be the best of the season thus far. Wasn’t sold on this season at the beginning but it’s starting to exceed my expectations, hopefully it doesn’t go off the rails.

Currently rooting for Queen Victoria.

Ooooooof I don't want Devens to go either but Julie needs to CHILL pointing the finger at Kelley

[Jack_]

I now stan Julie

[JerseyWins]

A rewarded idol that's in two halves :laugh3:

[Macie Lightfoot]

So returning to the game isn't enough of an advantage apparently!

[reece(:]

These two SUCCCKKK

Lauren, who doesn't cry EVER in real life, almost crying for the seventh day in a row <3

So idol situation is

Kelley - 1
Lauren - 1
Rick - 1/2
David - 1/2

Am I forgetting anyone?

[JerseyWins]

Yeah that MAJORLY feels like a Kelley boot :(

Unless it's so obvious that it's actually not :joker: Idg how Survivor editing works still

[Macie Lightfoot]

Kelley's confessional after the IC sounded off so maybe they filmed it after her upcoming blindside :joker:

[reece(:]

Do we get to see jury membha Reem?

Aurora will trump them!

[JerseyWins]

The other side DOES have 3 idols but no allegiance between Kelley & David </3

[Headie]

Not Medical

[Macie Lightfoot]

Can we talk about how much of a ****ing dumb player Kelley is? Her side has two HII, she has an extremely tight three with Lauren and Wardog, she has a good enough bond with David and he has a strong bond with Rick, she is friends in real life with Joe and he has a Aurora as a package deal...... and her plan is to get out Rick? Like if they just all talked to each other they could've made it 7-6 easily. Joe even said he's on the outs and she did nothing about it!!!!!

I was a Wendy fan, but she knew going in that individual challenges were a thing that happens. I would rather see her give her all and fail, even due to her condition, than give up tbh.

[Donovan.]

Vicky is so stank

Her OUT!

I go between feeling like this and wanting her to win the whole thing.

[iRyan]

How dare you slander Queen Vic.

[TomC]

Mess I was literally tearing up when everyone bar Devens was so emotional about losing <3 Why did literally the worst one have to come back :bored:

Julie is this season's Alison. So I STAN. Honestly, Julie and Victoria are the only ones I stan.

The gameplay is weird this season... Like it's gonna be very tribal I feel. I don't really understand how anything can happen but the Kama 6 steamrolling to the end? Like Devens and Wentworth are unlikely to trust each other now. And idek if Aurora will want to flip?

[Wizard.]

Ugh idk where Ron came from but he is super annoying and I hope it is him that hurt himself next episode :skull:

kind of rooting for the old Lessu tribe considering they have 3 idols this tribal should have confirmed to them that Kama cannot be broken so they need to play their idols well.

Maybe Chrissatan snapped?

[reece(:]

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Big Wendy! You were soooooo close to getting back in the game during that challenge. What do you think happens if you win that challenge and make it back onto the merged tribe?
WENDY DIAZ: If there was one thing that I loved on Survivor, it was the challenges. Being so close to winning was exhilarating, and I knew if I had gotten back into the game, I would have been safe and made it deep. Absolutely no one saw me as a threat at that point so it would be pointless to vote me out. I knew that I would be able to integrate into Kama and be a number for them.

You seemed happy to head back to Extinction Island for another chance to get back in the game, but then we saw you and Keith raising the sail to quit. What happened and why did you choose to give up?
I never gave up, and I never quit. At the time, it seemed completely optional to either stay or leave considering we had already been voted off. I never ran out of game-play but I saw The Edge as a place to seek revenge, see-through unfinished business, to prove something. At that point, I had ZERO regrets with the game I played.

We saw you essentially sabotaging your own game to protect the chickens from being eaten by your hungry tribemates, even though you were a meat-eater heading into the game. But then when you were voted out, you said you couldn’t wait to eat a cheeseburger. So have you been eating any meat since you left the game last June?
I believe that people can be compassionate towards animals and still eat meat. Is it hypocritical?
Absolutely. The same way people who own pets at home and still eat meat are hypocritical. That shouldn’t discourage people from fostering animals. With that being said, I have been a vegetarian since the end of last year, but I did eat meat coming directly off of the show and the few months that followed.

Not including the folks at the Edge of Extinction, who were you rooting for to win the game when you decided to quit?
When I left the game, I was rooting for my fellow tribe mate Eric to win because despite him voting me out, he did not do it maliciously. You can tell he has a kind soul and would do anything for his family.

This week, you had the chance to return to the game. What do you remember about the experience?

Wendy Diaz: Walking back into the game and watching the expression of the current players was the most satisfying thing ever. I felt like an annoying little fly that kept avoiding their swats. Looking at the challenge during the walk through, I had this overwhelming confidence that I was going to win. I just knew it in my heart that I was going back into the game! The last part of the challenge was the most difficult for me, but when I sunk the first ball and was in the lead, I was overjoyed. In the end, I didn't win, but that's the way of life! I wasn't sad because I knew I had tried my best and it just wasn't in the cards for me.

Keith Sowell: It was all so mind-blowing! Definitely moments I will cherish forever! It was so surreal, because everything that had happened on Edge — and trust me, it was a lot — was all building up to this grand event. It really felt like some coliseum gladiator battle. The reveal to the players was just as impactful. I got to smile at all of the players I was hoping to finally meet, and hold just as bright a smile for those who voted me out and say "Yeah ... y'all thought!"

Losing the challenge took such a toll on me because I was coming in as someone no one was expecting to win and no one was believing in my capabilities. Making my own stick practice advantage out of Chris' and getting my leverage disadvantage all felt like this big buildup to a victory. But to lose because of some sticks and ropes that I was just going about tying together the wrong way, really took time to bear with. To this day, I'm probably the only one to believe I could have won if I had gotten the sticks, since I was quick to get the snake and ball on the second go. Hearing Jeff tell us about "another chance" caused me to go into complete shock.

Shortly after returning to Extinction, you both chose to leave. Why did you raise the mast?

Wendy: Upon returning to the Edge, I already knew that my adventure had been completed. I had nothing left to prove to anyone and had played the game I always dreamed of playing with zero regrets.

Keith: When you step back on the Edge, and immediately start cycling through the same motions, you realize that literally nothing has changed. I remember everyone else being down and reviewing their performance, while I was just keeping the fire going and doing some heavy thinking. The Edge and Survivor the game are two completely different dimensions. The Edge is abstract. It's too simplistic to see it as quitting or not quitting. Everyone has something different to gain from it. The best way I can explain it is that your Survivor experience is your story, and when you are voted out, your story can come to a sudden halt at the hands of others. The Edge puts the pen back in your hand to finish the story your way. In mine, I proved all I needed to myself, broke the limits I needed to and my story was complete. The Edge did what it needed to for me.

Did you know you were being afforded the chance to join the jury, and if not, would that have influenced your decision to stick around?

Wendy: We did not know if we were to have stayed we could have been part of the jury, but I would have definitely stayed because the elements and the hunger didn't affect me in any way. What was difficult for me was the boredom. Up to that point, the players on the Edge had explained to me that they had absolutely nothing to do and me, being as hyperactive as I am, I would have either gone insane or been tied up by my fellow castaways!

Keith: At the time I didn't know we would join the jury. Of course since I've known, this thought has creeped in and out of my mind. But this follows suit with the whole "what if" mentality that no one has time for. Would it have influenced [my decision]? Of course, as all things do. Would it have changed things? Yes, because it adds just another level of excitement and complexity to a story! But at that point, the story was complete.

Keith, when you were voted out, we were left on a cliffhanger as to whether or not you were going to head out to Extinction. How long did you debate the decision? Why were you questioning whether or not to go?

Keith: This part of watching it all back has been hilarious. People have asked me this question all the time. The thing is, I was watching the cliffhanger for the first time just like everyone else was. I was so angry and vengeful after my vote off that I of course was taking the torch. Anyone who knows me knows that me praying was out of sheer gratefulness to have the second opportunity. I just laugh at how none of my other castmates were expressive as I was!

Wendy, what was it like to fulfill your master plan of releasing the chickens out on the island? How mad were your tribe mates? Anything you would like to say to people who have commented on "Chicken Gate" after watching it play out on the show?

Wendy: My tribe mates only speculated that I released the chickens when I started to show compassion for them, so they didn't actually know that I did it. Only the people that actually know me will ever be able to understand why I did what I did. When I say that these chickens are worth more than a million dollars to me, you can take that as fact. There's more to life than money, and I could never take a life away for my own selfish needs. All the people who don't agree with me can go cluck themselves.

What can you tell us about the people you played the game with? As you were leaving, was there anyone you were specifically rooting for, and anyone you were rooting against?

Keith: I was already a huge fan of Aubry. She knows the game in and out, which is the biggest reason why she was taken out. Although I wasn't the biggest fan of many on original Manu, I can say I respected Wentworth because, regardless of whether she was responsible or not, she evaded every vote when her name was brought up at most [Tribal Councils], if not all. Chris and I mended things, so I really want to see all that he has left to prove. However, in the game, I was rooting for David because not only does he play the game from a controlling position, but he does it without being inauthentic or personal, and thus doesn't burn bridges. Based on discussion while on Edge combined with my thoughts, I said Lauren would go far as a sidekick of Kelly. I didn't have much on Wardog because his whole schtick was to not talk strategy, at least with those he didn't want to work with, until after challenges. Of those on Edge, I'm rooting for Reem the most because we'd developed such a friendship from being on that island for so long. She's still got so much to prove to herself and I hope she gets it all and more.

Wendy: Reem is the strongest woman in that game, period. To last as long as she has on the Edge just goes to show that she is a warrior. Keith does everything he can for his family. I hold nothing against him for turning on me because it was all part of the game. He is such a fantastic person. Chris and I never really had a relationship inside of the game. Rick is a nice person. Aubry is a great person; she never did anything bad that went beyond the game. Eric is the sweetest person I met inside of the game. Gavin is a super fan. David is such a great person, I was also rooting for him! Wardog, Lauren and Kelly? No comment. If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all.

At this point, David has gotten a bit annoying and redundant with his blinders to take out Kelley... it could be ruining the season now :suspect:

[starry]

They had the normal chance and then the twist chance, that was enough really so I can understand someone saying their story is over this season.
