Live KIA was a bucket list dream many years in the making that still exceeded my expectations. The
#RHAP
community is indescribably special, it was a privilege to experience that in the room instead of behind the mic. Thanks to everyone who said hi! A night I’ll never forget 🛎♥️
Jesse just blindsided his best friend & burned that friend's idol, while secretly hiding the idol he stole, meaning he's decimated his ENTIRE STARTING TRIBE, & blindsided the biggest threat into flushing her idol & people will STILL SAY HE ISN'T A VILLAIN

Maryanne and Mike lose Simmotion, they’re crying
Jeff: this was so EASY. A small CHILD could have done this. A literal BABY. We hadn’t even really started! What were you thinking? I’m so embarrassed for you!

#Survivor42
I love how
#TheTraitors
franchise can recruit any legend from the reality TV world that they want because the commitment is just a 10 day vacation in a Scottish castle that revolves quite significantly around breakfast buffets. Who wouldn’t go?
#TraitorsUS
I put up with the fart & snot competitions
I put up with the nether gorgon & humili-week & that announcer guy yelling at me
I put up with a Jag, Matt & Bowie Jane final 3
I even put up with a winner who was voted out unanimously
But Cameron winning AFP over Cirie
I'm out
#BB25
Protects her key ally through two votes
Fools everyone about puppeteering last week's idol play
Too socially connected to be left out of the Drew vote
Taken first on helicopter reward
Wins immunity
Somehow not painted as the biggest threat
That's power

#Survivor45
Jake is so likeable. The fight, the earnestness, the vulnerability, the humour & good vibes even when he's on the back foot. He's now a loveable underdog that's very easy to root for
#Survivor
#Survivor45
If I had a nickel for every time a player thought Q was going home only to be blindsided with an idol in their pocket in the last three weeks I'd have 3 nickels, which actually is a lot???
#Survivor46
Receiving 11 votes in 6 seasons of gameplay, 81 episodes of television, hundreds of days, is insane. There's no one like Cirie Fields. Her skills are super human
#BB25
Tony may have played the best, strongest, most comprehensive
#Survivor
game of all time, Michele showed off social super powers & proved her win tenfold, Nat personified EoE & played the cards she was dealt to their extremes. All absolute legends in their own way
#Survivor40
Carolyn: I wouldn't do that to you
Yam Yam: You did it to me!
Carolyn: ONCE
Yam Yam: This was once too
Carolyn: You were over that
Yam Yam: You should be over this too
Carolyn: THIS JUST HAPPENED
We don't deserve the Carolyn/Yam Yam duo

Q when someone is good at hide and seek
Q when someone turns on the 6
Q when someone quits Sweat
Q when 4 people don’t sit out for rice
Q when someone’s favourite player is threatening

Sabiyah led an all-time pre-merge tribe, turned on her closest ally, got blindsided by her initial nemesis, lost, gained & sacrificed her vote, barbecued an idol & had an epic downfall, all without ever writing a name. An amazing character, she'll be missed
#Survivor45
#Survivor
So Omar just corralled the whole majority, without even a vote, to save ALL 3 OF HIS ALLIES, consolidating even Hai against Lydia, without needing to use the idol OR extra vote. I'm enormously impressed with Omar & Taku for getting through that tough spot
#Survivor42
#Survivor
I teared up when Cody accepted Jesse's handshake after that pause. I care so much about this duo being OK. I want Jesse to be respected & loved for the savagery & gamesmanship, I want him to get to the end & for Cody to stump for him on the jury
#Survivor
#Survivor43
Katurah being annoyed that Bruce name drops and then it cutting to a clip of him name dropping Kane from Survivor 44 is the most unserious thing this show has ever done
#Survivor45
If I were to tell you so many things about
#Survivor46
you’d never believe me
Major, dramatic plot point centred entirely around Applebee’s
5 people go home with idols
Player Twitter beefing with *checks notes* the Empire State Building
I’m going to miss this crazy season
Ugh I can’t take this for Jake, it’s hard to watch someone just get continuously pummelled by the game, let alone someone who seems like such a good soul. Every win has been ripped out from under him. This is painful
#Survivor
#Survivor45
Of course Drea snuffed her own torch. We'd never seen a character like her. Collecting trinkets in record numbers, connecting to real world importance, playing inimitably hard, all with a fierce joy & exuberance under the strength. A star for the modern era
#Survivor
#Survivor42
My heart aches for Charlie having to litigate this after such a close & difficult loss. He's handling it with so much grace in such a difficult situation, where not getting some key votes must feel deeply personal, let alone the disappointment in the moment
#Survivor46
Charlie, what an exceptional game. It was so intentional, the exact type of considered, well managed, purposeful path, spoken to well, with stellar decisions, subtlety & intricacy that I love. You may not be the winner, but you're the Mastermind, as Taylor would want
#Survivor46
The first six names of Australian Survivor: Australia vs the World have been released:
Shonee Bowtell 🇦🇺
George Mladenov 🇦🇺
Kirby Bentley 🇦🇺
Cirie Field 🇺🇸
Tony Vlachos 🇺🇸
Parvati Shallow 🇺🇸
Plus there will be representatives from New Zealand, South Africa and Norway.
Why would Sandra sit on EoE with 0 chance of re-entering the game, looking at her competition of some of the best physical players ever & trusting that her legacy is rock solid regardless? She left with strength, self-awareness & no Fs given, classic queen
#Survivor
#Survivor40
Emily Flippen, you're an icon. This was your story, & the narrative of the season suffers with the Lulu dynasty ending here. I'm so thankful we got 10 more episode of Emily than we were meant to, her journey, character & game will always be synonymous with
#Survivor45

The Tika 3 will go down in history. The humour, bond & heart as they practiced fire told it all. They were unexpected, intentional & dominated the game. They were each fantastic players & characters, but even better together. An alliance & story for the ages
#Survivor
#Survivor44
I'm voting to say thank you for:
17+ years of entertainment
Changing the face of social strategy
Breaking the mould & inspiring so many
Showing grace, joy & intelligence at every turn
Always making me proud to be a fan
Cirie Fields: The World's* Favourite Houseguest
#BB25
If Cirie introduced herself to me saying she had three sons “John, Jamil and Jamie” I would clock that instantly because every word of this confessional is seared into my brain and I see it in my nightmares
#BB25
How Omar talks to & manages people is amazing. Placating & calming his connections on the bottom, also saying to Hai "if we wanted to blindside Rocks, I would be with you". Communal, collaborative, looking like he's being led while leading. A masterclass
#Survivor
#Survivor42
Maryanne is 1 of my favourite players of all time. I cried when she won. She emanates joy. She’s smart & aware. She’s a top tier
#Survivor
character with some of the coolest moves ever. She’s hilarious, real & completely herself & herself is the best. I love her
#Survivor42
How many moves is Omar going to be able to orchestrate before everyone finally catches on that he's been the mastermind all along?
#Survivor
#Survivor42
Every week I'm enthralled by Omar's game. Separating allies with lies, bonding with people over grievances for plans they don't know HE CREATED. The stealth puppet master, the super fan dream game, the Rob C game. It's immaculate. He should be so proud
#Survivor

Next week someone on Ika finds the other Beware advantage, they go to the mat and talk about potatoes, Mike mentions soccer & we flash back to Maryanne finding it the week before. Her phrase?

Bowie Jane's LAST name is Jane?!
They've been full naming her this whole time?!
It's a common last name in Australia!?
This is the wildest clip in
#BB25
Emily's main allies are Austin & Drew, she's had beef with Kendra & only just met the other women. The women's alliance isn't right for her. The expectation on women to sacrifice their agency for the cause is exhausting. She's championing women by empowering herself
#Survivor45
The intricacies of this episode, the foreshadowing, the editing, the music, the whole way the episode is crafted all really benefits from a second watch. It relishes in telling the story of one of the most tragic blindsides & cutthroat betrayals of all time
#Survivor
#Survivor43
🔥 pulled over Jordie from Simon
🔥 fractured all the Villain men
🔥 took out fodder while keeping the divisions in
🔥 won the vote with his 3 person minority
🔥 assured Stevie long term
❌ didn’t flush Simon’s idol
🔥 the idol isn’t real
A stellar night for George
#SurvivorAU
Omar outlined 3 fascinating plans then said "none of this may matter" with no vote. This illustrates why Do Or Die is such bad TV, neutering dynamic gameplay in favour of a random game. The show is so lucky we got a vote both times, may we never see it again
#Survivor
#Survivor42
I've never been so shocked in the vote read. I've been blindsided in finales, & seen things turn in an end game or FTC, but I was truly stunned by the votes. I like to be surprised, but also to feel that it's earned. Right now my reaction is pure confusion
#Survivor
#Survivor43
The weight of Maria’s vote is up there with a small group of the most significant individual votes in global
#Survivor
history. It may be the most impactful. Her vote alone likely decided the game against her closest ally in a duo that defined so much of the season
#Survivor46
I want to apologise on behalf of Australia for Bowie Jane’s actions. We as a country don’t endorse putting Cirie & Felicia on the block & denounce that as a very Aussie thing to do. We are embarrassed that our country has been represented in this way. Sincerely, Australia
#BB25
I love when a super fan wins
#Survivor
, even if they win it on a challenge that originated in the six episodes of Tocantins they haven't seen
#Survivor42
Tika need so much credit. This is now beyond Jalapao levels of impressive to have the 3-2 majority culled down from starting at 3 in 12. The intentionality with which they’ve played everyone against each other & warped the group perception is truly masterful
#Survivor
#Survivor44
Feeling for Nina. She's already playing on a cast with little diversity, as the only black person, let alone the only non-Australian, only to have Rogue offensively undermine her identity from the very beginning. As if Survivor isn't hard enough
#SurvivorAU
Lindsay's game is so underrated, she's always with the numbers, super central & actively social. It may not translate as well to the edit but she hasn't put a foot wrong & should be praised for her approach, relationships, reads & position
#Survivor
#Survivor42

#Survivor45
The first tribe swap of the new era, better twists and advantages, the return of Ancient Voices… it couldn’t be… you don’t think…
Nearly every name in the game has been brought up in this episode except Tony?! Tony Vlachos. With an idol. No attempt to even flush it. No immunity to protect him. This is unbelievable
#Survivor
#Survivor40
So conflicted in how impressed I am by Charlie's Taylor Swift fandom & knowledge, but how confused I am by how recklessly he bounced around eras & chronology. Where was the system? How was he keeping track of any of this? Was it spliced in the edit? It will consume me
#Survivor46
Izzy was 100% authentically herself at all times. I love people who bring their weird, nerdy, passionate selves to these shows. Izzy, thanks for being a favourite. You won something far more valuable than money, the true prize: the love of Cirie. I’m so jealous. Congrats ♥️
#BB25
Justine trusted him as the swing vote
Nneka was his island mom & close ally
Dwight was his island spouse & gave him an idol
Noelle trusted him as the swing vote
Cody was his best friend & gave him an idol
Jesse's decimation of Vesi is next level
#Survivor
#Survivor43
If I had a nickel for every time a lawyer told a secret lawyer to be a lawyer as parting words in this episode I’d have 2 nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice
#Survivor
#Survivor45
Liz spoke with strength & conviction, with the poise & attitude we’ve come to know from her. I think she was excellent at FTC, she gave specific examples, spun every move with power & positivity & sold an impactful story. She backed herself & earned her win
#SurvivorAU
A whole new generation of Netflix viewers are about to experience the most riveting, captivating, inspiring and devastating rollercoaster ride in TV history

I think this level of hate today could kill some people. I think there are versions of myself it could’ve killed.
Thank you to all the very kind people today. It means more than you know ♥️
When you’re on your 4th season of doing the exact same mediocre new final 5 island & the players have the “correct assumptions” to know what to prepare for, it’s probably time to retire that twist. The new island doesn’t translate to TV & is just so tired
#Survivor
#Survivor44
I can't express how much I hated that. Watching passionate, entertaining players who I adore, Matt & Yam Yam, cry for their lives in this difficult position, as Frannie & Carolyn, whom I also adore, watch helplessly from the bench. Are we having fun?
#Survivor
#Survivor44
Shonee is a global
#Survivor
legend. To me this season cleared the high bar as her best game yet. Her reads, wit, power & incomparable social prowess were on full display as she ran the game with the most fun alliance. A huge loss & epic move worthy of her greatness
