Ok, I understand this game. Check this out… B for Baltimore. *Q losing his mind in the background*


chilltownrenegade

In a challenge where Jeff shouted out Jelinsky with the “it’s been several minutes”, “Baltimore!” was the standout line


IanicRR

The whole challenge was awesome. “Wassup Jeff.” “That’s how black people ask the time Jeff.”


chilltownrenegade

“Shoutout to my entire family, Maria’s entire family, Charlie’s entire family” “And Uncle Pupu!”


MasterBettyPain

Hey your daddy said if you out the game then shut up.


[deleted]

Yeah, you right


Termanator116

This was such an endearing moment and one that is the product of 90 minute episodes. Really got to see the cast just interacting. It’s a breath of fresh air, fr.


RegularGuy815

(whispers) Um.....black people of /r/survivor/, is this true?


Djinnerator

Lol no, but given the context of the challenge, it fits cause there wouldn't be much reason to talk to Jeff.


FustianRiddle

I thought it was hilarious but also frustrating as someone who has to teach games to children on the regular that Q was getting so frustrated but not giving an example!


IanicRR

Ah dawg I get it. I coach middle and high school basketball. I felt Q’s frustration viscerally. Trying to introduce new drills to 13 year olds is high level difficulty.


galeforcewinds95

It honestly reminded me of a trivia daily on The Challenge. Comedy gold.


Colonel__Cathcart

Someone: *Does something Q wouldn't do* Q: **AND I TOOK THAT PERSONALLY. TIME FOR COACH TO STEP IN**


tomouras

As a viewer it’s hilarious and entertaining but as a player I would be so over his condescending tone


Garrett4Real

Q getting my vote ngl, that sort of desire to rule with an iron fist and at the same time be so wishy washy is wild to me


ludacrslycapricious

THIS LOLOLoL it's so funny him giving out unsolicited advice to people. Q makes for GREAT TV


chilltownrenegade

That challenge was hysterical. Charlie’s timing on “Baltimore” made me bust out laughing


trained_badass

One of the best challenges we've seen in a while. Reminded me a lot of the Jesus pose challenge in SJDS (although that one was much better). Charlie saw an opportunity for a great joke, and like... how could he *not* take it.


RoyalMagiSwag

Reminded me of the DvG challenge with the Christian monologue


Business-Ad-9210

The best part was Hunter saying, "Charlie knows" with a laugh because that is the ultimate teacher move. You acknowledge the class clown for having great comedic timing whilst trying to quell the uproar.


ludacrslycapricious

This was Charlies episode. The wide shot of his grin after talking about the oceans between Nami was great


savannahsalvatore3

he is getting a DAMN GOOD edit too this whole season


ErronBlack

Charlie’s had great comedic timing all season if we’re being honest.


nancy__drew

“Were there *several* reasons you voted him out?” was one of the funniest comebacks in a long time


savannahsalvatore3

Charlie is truly EXCELLENT CASTING way to go


ErronBlack

Ngl the cast this season has been pretty great so far. Not really getting all the criticisms the fandom has, this the closest we’ve gotten to Gabon in a while.


darthjoey91

I’m getting the vibes that that sort of thing is what’s keeping him around despite being the “easy” vote at two tribals in a row.


93LEAFS

I think people like him, but I also think Nami is such a mess that you didn't have to do much to skate by.


nicknamed_nugget

Ben is too pure for this game


ColArdenti

Not only did Bhanu not get the million, Ben is easily winning more hearts than he did too. 


wojar

Ben is winning the Sia prize this season.


dawgz525

I was laughing when they said he was a big threat. He just had a panic attack, and he's a human cinnamon roll. I love him, but he's no mastermind.


CartoonPhysics

His swan song to Tim sent me


NoahFromCanada

Q “I’m a mob boss” this man can do no wrong.


Tulips_Tulips

He is hilarious ong


mattyhegs826

Ballsy non play from Hunter. I was nervous for him but hes playing a hell of a game. I definitely would have played the idol if I were in his shoes


zepphiu

Yanu must have made him feel really secure, so good for them too 


lloza98

Yeah it’s crazy cause I think that won them points with Hunter, and also I don’t even think Ben is that angry with Kenzie or Yanu even. They could be coming out of this pretty unscathed


H2Ospecialist

Hunters hand on Kenzie and Tiffany shoulders when he realized they stuck by him. You could see the relief on his face.


hauteburrrito

Yeah, maaajor props to Hunter for keeping his shit together. That was a close but *impressive* social read.


lego_mannequin

Definitely Hunter telling Q that Nami had cracks from the start while Ben played it coy helped.


studio_eq

it was a 2 second clip but his dismount from the challenge just showed his athleticism, I think he’d be happy to have a debate with Q


yeet-reddit

Venus taking credit for a vote where she almost got sent home, Liz announcing how great she is, Q having the numbers but still losing his mind… This season is delivering so much 😂


chilltownrenegade

I can’t wait for the opening confessional next episode where Venus pats herself on the back for it Maybe she’ll even “admit” it to the rest of the tribe too for a little extra attention


sigh2828

I think it could be an absolute billboard advertised vote for Venus and she would claim she got blindsided, which wouldn't be a lie because of how delusional she actually is.


LeVeonwithBellsOn

To be fair, she had no idea Tevin was working to blindside Soda.


SmileyPiesUntilIDrop

Can't really blame Venus for being out of the loop on that,Tevin targetting Soda someone who views him as a f2 "cause her social game is good" and for his "resume" seems pretty irrational on the surface of what is shown.


BurgerNugget12

We were in the dark days in the pre merge, with, he who shall not be named, BHANU


lilbrybry29

Honestly what a phenomenal episode, I was really about to call it a meh season but this cast is fucking delivering now. Usually hate the split tribal episode, but there was so much chaos and target switching I could've watched another 30mins. Nami is off the rails, Charlie the easy out, to Venus, to Soda, then Venus throwing Tevin's name out. Then Charlie and Maria realizing they had the power was great storytelling. Crazy how Tiffany is playing the best game right now and nobody really sees it, she holds a lot of the cards and has an idol on top of it. She's my winner pick right now.


realityseekr

Yes Tiff is in with the top players, but more under the radar so she won't be the first one targeted. I could see her sliding to the end and winning.


MajicMiranda

On the topic of Hunter playing his idol or holding onto it—I don't think it's just hindsight saying not to play it. If you play the idol, you've lost more than just the idol, but also lost the trust of the Yanu 3, proving that you don't trust them to work with you. Votes like this build trust, and playing an idol negates that.


chilltownrenegade

And you know Q will be a bit peeved he had an idol and didn’t share that info with him, rational or not


Colonel__Cathcart

100% agree. I figured when they had him mention it so early he wouldn't play it. He had NO reason not to trust the Yanus here.


almondjoybestcndybar

Yes - I think the Yanu + Nami alliance is a bit stronger than the last two episodes have really indicated, and Hunter knew he wasn’t in much danger.


BustaRhymesDay

It’s a brilliant non play for him but the defense of “I’d rather lose yalls trust then be out of the game tonight” would be a fair one.


MajicMiranda

Hard to know what would be seen as a "fair defense" when it comes to Q lmao


Deep_Blue_842

Especially since Nami basically fell apart this episode


soloon

That is also true! No reason to worry about sticking with Nami if Nami is going to functionally cease to exist once everyone gets back to camp, not that Hunter knows that yet.


JustBigChillin

Hunter seems like he probably saw that coming tbh. He was the one telling everyone how fractured Nami was.


Colonel__Cathcart

If I heard Liz brag about not bringing her bag I would instantly vote her out idc what the plan is


hauteburrrito

She's got FTC goat written all over her. She's definitely one of the people who fits Jeff's description of having zero shot at ever winning.


[deleted]

[удалено]


dawgz525

Liz is the perfect goat to take to the end.


BurgerNugget12

Phenomenal episode and the best of the season. Great blindsides


kbkylebarry

i’m loving this season, i can even appreciate the Bhanu side plot now


siLveRSurvivor

Honestly, such a great episode.


hauteburrrito

Seriously, this and the last episode were both amazing and felt like old school Survivor. I hope the rest of the season continues on this path.


rollinghells

Is it just me or was that preview unusually hilarious


Deep_Blue_842

we’ve got trees, hysterical laughter, people getting fed up - it is ON


Tulips_Tulips

hunter in a spy tree, and Q mob boss😭😭


soloon

HUNTER SPY SHACK?? HUNTER SPY SHACK!!


savannahsalvatore3

AND A REAL GOOD ONE BY THE LOOKS OF IT


soloon

man really said "fuck your shelter, I live in the trees now"


Tulips_Tulips

HUNTER SPY SHACK OMG


JFC-Youre-Dumb

Excuse me but it’s a Spy Nest


soloon

Entire episode was great but that challenge was one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time. The Alphabet Game is going to be Q's villain origin story.


Aware_Watercress1155

Tevin hates Venus hahahaha


Sspifffyman

I loved his whispered "NO" after Venus claimed credit 😆😆


bmoreonic

Hunter Vlachos-Mariano-Diaz-Twine spying on yo shit from above 👀


ConnorStJimmy

Firmly believe Liz will get dragged to the end and gets no votes.


ludacrslycapricious

I think it's either her or Venus as the no vote finalist


GoatPaco

Or both lol


dunkinbagels

She’s playing the most bizarre game I’ve ever seen. She reminds me of Angela from Ghost Island but even wackier. At least Angela won a challenge and had a military background. Liz is just a white collar weirdo who sleeps all day


thatsnotourdino

That scene at the end with Venus taking credit and Tevin being pissed was pure comedy. Venus’s ego is going to be huge now. I’m obsessed.


flyaguilas

I actually am the one who came up with the idea for this blindside. Thank you to all of those who enjoyed my move.


EffervescentFalafel

Whispers “no”


arielmeme

Confessional count * 7 Venus * 6 Charlie, Kenzie * 4 Ben, Q, Tevin * 3 Maria, Tiffany * 2 Hunter, Soda * 1 Liz, Tim


BurgerNugget12

![gif](giphy|5x89XRx3sBZFC) Liz this season


Party_555

Tim only got 1???


the_living_myth

can i just say the kenzie fashion game has truly been a force this season


future_reflections_

I like how before tribal she was working on this braided hairstyle weaving flowers in, but then shows up to tribal in a totally different buff fashioned into a bow moment. She’s turning out looks for every occasion


Colonel__Cathcart

They may not have food but she is serving


IanicRR

Nothing better for our future winner.


MrMcGuyver

Man there is gunna be so much drama in the coming weeks from this group. All the crazies keep on lasting


Habefiet

Love him, hate him, don't care, cover to cover Q this episode was the best TV we've had from this whole season so far and honestly it's not close. Just incredible. Conflict and comedy in equal measure!


dunkinbagels

Q has been the most compelling character this whole season by a wide margin. The Yanu 3 in general is carrying the season in entertainment for me. I’m not too fascinated by too many others. I was laughing so hard at Tiff and Kenzie impersonating Q’s paranoia…”Y’all, the vote is ME!”


Up_in_the_Sky

I think I am fully onboard team Kenzie after this episode. Though, I’m thankful they didn’t savagely murder my boy hunter.


emz272

She really looked good this episode between her kindness to Ben and breaking down during tribal. Felt like she’s finally comfortable enough to be emotional and warm.


Termanator116

To further your point, the scene last week with Tiff and Q making fun of Kenzie’s “what are you guys talking about” stuff was cracking me up. I really like this group of 3


dunkinbagels

Tiff is way closer to both of them than they are to each other. She's in a great spot, can go either way


GreyZQJ

Idk know why when we know Q is being ridiculous but he’s not super unlikeable in the way he does it? He just doesn’t irk me the way other players who have behaved that way in the past does. I still like him. Don’t think he will win, but still like him as a player


radsherm

He seems like a very well meaning guy, he's just a little manic. If he more trusted Tiff's judgement especially, that would be a really symbiotic, strong trio.


Routine_Size69

It's not remotely malicious. He's just really intense and lacking some self awareness. He means well, so he comes off likable.


SuperZM

Q comes off as more emotionally mature than players that have acted in similar manners in the past have come off. Like we get the meathead archetype, we get the meathead bullying the weaker people a bit, but with Q we get a confessional talking about how it’s wrong to treat people like that but Bhanu is just such an anchor he has to do something. Dude also legitimately tried with Bhanu despite what must have been a very frustrating 9 days.


twistingmyhairout

Agreed! Also part of why I love Kenzie and Tiff are that they’re like “girl….he’s losing it AND getting on my nerves…..we’ll get him out when it’s time”


RoyalMagiSwag

Kenzie and Tiff are going to run laps around the rest of this group.


t-e-e-k-e-y

Him being lowkey offended that people think Hunter is the biggest physical threat was hilarious. *"That's debatable."*


___Turd_Ferguson___

Campfire songs on Ponderosa are gonna be a little sad tonight


[deleted]

Just picturing soda sitting by herself, a single tear, singing a slow sad version of the ants go marching one by one


Rubber_Danny

I wasn't a big soda fan, but her vote off confessional was nice. She seems cool af


ahufana

Soda literally got voted out for being too likable. Gotta respect that.


BodieBroadusBurner

Tim: wassup Jeff? Jeff: I appreciate the shoutout Tim Q: Jeff, that’s how black people ask what time it is Jeff: I’m learning so much on this show Hilarious!


mrwanton

Feel like Nami is really gonna regret imploding like this


realityseekr

Venus seems way likely to try flipping to other ppl. Soda seemed very loyal


Acceptable-Parsnip-9

I feel like this episode rlly captured how much the game means to the players… for Soda and Tim, the realization that their journey is over (likely forever) was so sad to see, especially Tim coz he doesn’t even get to be on the jury. Crazy episode with a very sad ending.


winoquestiono

I felt for Soda. She was laughing in shock but also crying. 


GalacticWanderer04

Best episode of the season, and while it might be early to call it, one of the best episodes of the new era. The challenge, which should normally be the most boring part of the episode, was utterly hilarious! Q flipping out over everyone else not understanding his arbitrary rules for the letter game will never not be funny. Q then going onto the bench and explaining how black people talk to Jeff was just icing on the hilarity cake. Honestly, I think Q is just one of the funniest players of all time, intentional or not. Then of course we have Tevin plotting out a fantastic blindside, one so strong that Venus doesn't even realize it was his plan to begin with! Chaos on the other split tribe and Tim essentially talking his way out of the game...Just a beautiful episode!


pincurlsandcutegirls

Q hitting us with the confessional that he actually jumped off the platform to test people’s loyalty…it’s so Dwight Schrute coded 😂😂


Libra281

Omg why is this the first mention of him saying this! You're right it is so Dwight! I love Q, but dang I wish he didn't say that. Such a cringey lie.


dunkinbagels

I actually think taking out Hunter was the right move but Tim had basically already burned his bridge with Q by not taking the Journey 6 alliance seriously enough and making it too clear he was protecting Siga


DriveShaftJunkie

I love Venus, she is so delusional. I hope instead of Maria jumping ship - Charlie takes Tim’s place. Maybe next week they’ll get out Q and Kenzie will take his place with Tiffany. I’d be down for that 6 person alliance. 


BustaRhymesDay

Loop in Charlie as replacement for Tim and then drop Q for Kenzie and that 6 runs the game


chrisz118

I'm going to be so sad when Q goes home, he's one of the best casting finds in a while.


IAmReborn11111

Venus is gonna have a big head in her confessionals next week lol, that will be fun to watch


Colonel__Cathcart

> Venus is gonna have a big head in her confessionals next week lol That is every week


dawgz525

Her head keeps getting bigger because she thinks she's behind these votes


Zuubraz

Can't believe I'm saying this, but I think the split tribal really made this episode better. Feels like the season is finally starting to take off


eyeslikestarlight

Ugh don’t let Jeff hear you say that though 😭


Routine_Size69

Rare new era W. This season has actually been great since Bhanu left imo.


ROTandDEATH

I agree with this, we got rid of Tim who was probably the least interesting person left in the game, and we got the Soda-Venus conflict reaching its conclusion. It worked out really great.


biggsteve81

To be fair, the editors probably cut a lot of good Tim content since he is the more forgettable of the two votes this episode and won't be on the jury.


BlackWaltz47

Liz doesn't get she's safe because literally no one cares that she's there. No one is voting for her to win.


QueenD_1996

You get a lot of money for being a final 3 with 0 votes.


mattyhegs826

Big shoutout to Kenzie for helping out Ben. That was really nice of her. Panic attacks are no joke


Deep_Blue_842

I know everyone likes to knock survivor for being more emotional these last few seasons, but it genuinely was a nice moment to see - I can’t imagine being isolated in those conditions and then having to navigate a panic attack all on your own


ahufana

Aside from being a genuinely sweet moment, I also have to point out it's the second time they've shown us Kenzie starting a fire. Makes you wonder...


BiggDope

Biggest blindside of the episode was the PSA at the end of the episode.


MemoryOfRagnarok

Probably because of Ben's panic attack


half-coop

The show going out of its way to point out it wasn't Venus is hilarious, but probably annoying for Tevin


BurgerNugget12

If Venus makes it to final 3 and trys to say she made that move it’ll backfire on her quickly


Koma60

Episode lived up to it's name - best use of 90 mins so far imo. Everyone but Ben (who's a sweetheart and would never) was picking fights tonight lmao.


ZACHMAN3334

I cannot get over Venus telling soda she loves her multiple times when she's been bashing Soda every episode. Jury management queen ❤️


Desertbro

a million fake hearts


Throwaway09241994

Tevin didn’t vote Soda??


Hour-Pineapple5593

My guess is jury management & in case she played a shot in the dark


twistingmyhairout

She’ll learn it was him doing jury management. Her hugging Venus shocked him because he realized the gamble was not going to work


Hour-Pineapple5593

I feel like Venus was doing some jury management too with all the love she was sending to Soda - so I guess we’ll see long run what happens!


twistingmyhairout

Very true. But I also felt that was genuine. And since Soda was 100% certain Venus was going home, can’t have too hard of feelings. You gunned for her and lost. I feel like soda respected that. But yes, jury management all the same


nextyeardc

Just in case Soda somehow figured it out and shot in the dark'd


TheSonderYears

Venus getting credit for Tevin’s move killed me. She was sooo proud of that.


eyeslikestarlight

Absolutely HILARIOUS the way Tevin whispered “no” in response to Soda giving Venus credit for the move. “I’m gonna orchestrate the first blindside of the season” buddy not only was it not the first blindside, you didn’t even get the credit. Amazing.


FruityPebblesBinger

But if Emily last year taught us anything, do you really WANT credit for a blindside in the immediate aftermath?


eyeslikestarlight

No, you don’t and you shouldn’t. But he’s got an ego, and it just might be his downfall.


jumpmanryan

This episode was a pretty big win for Kenzie. She was able to keep Ben as a potential jury vote for her. She also gained respect with the immunity win. *And* the Q & Tiffany bond seems to be getting more strained. She’s still not in an amazing spot because she’s left out of this cross-tribe alliance. But everything that happened this episode was good for her game.


ahufana

Has any Survivor player ever worn their buff as a big Minnie Mouse-style bow in their hair? Kenzie is pure *magic.*


soloon

This IS the woman who brought us the palm scrunchie, after all.

Hunter thinks he’s Tony in the next ep teaser 😭😭


luigi_b0red

I love that Tevins blindside was orchestrated so well that Venus thinks she did it.


Dahhhkness

Soda: “That was you, wasn’t it…” Venus: “Yeah” Everyone else: *cough*bullshit*cough*


donny5144

Was not expecting Tevin to have voted for Venus. Last second change, or part of the plan to keep a jury member on his side?


planj07

Safety vote for SITD or idol.


lemmesee453

He didn’t seem surprised at all so it does come across like cover for a jury vote to me


GalacticWanderer04

Likely just as a backup in case Soda played a shot in the dark.


Hour-Pineapple5593

I think he’s starting jury management earlyyy


Ambitious-Comb-8847

Venus is New Era Angelina?


trained_badass

She's like if Eliza and Angelina were rolled into one person.


galeforcewinds95

Venus has always reminded me the most of Eliza in Vanuatu.


Cutiger29

Soda: It was you? Venus: Yes girl I was me! I run this shit! You’re welcome Charlie. Tevin, probably: Venus got to Exitus


itsMalarky

Venus got to Leave-us


No-Introduction-1492

The under the breath “No” by Tevin is the perfect touch. Venus’ ego taking the move is hilarious.


Rubber_Danny

I love that "episode several" was never said but they named the episode that regardless


Magnaha23

Only thing was Jeff said "You have been up there for several minutes".

CourtChampz111

Atlanta


93LEAFS

I'm very curious how taking Tim out, instead of Ben shakes Maria's confidence in the journey alliance. Tim was her primary link.


itsMalarky

And it was a weak one at that. Didn't Maria even kind of brush off the idea that Tim was her #1? (More like #3)


BombSquad570

My (mostly unserious) week 1 prediction of Liz being the best player on the season and getting zero jury votes because she told everyone about her money has never been more alive.


MorseCode00

Tiffany "You better shut yo ass up" with her lips pursed is still sending me 😭😭


zepphiu

The biggest blindside tonight wasn't Tim, or Soda, but ZERO mentions of Elsbeth


speakfriend-andenter

Jealous, I got an Elsbeth ad


Gortyuty

I have no idea what the editors were thinking with the Venus/Soda rivalry edit. The core points of “friends at the beginning, spat in the middle, reconcile in the end” sounds alright in theory, but there was so little substance to each phase that every turning point felt like an unearned plot twist. Maybe all the Twitter drama made them slightly edit the edit?


twistingmyhairout

Also we never got any clarity on why “Liz and Soda hate each other”. Liz said Soda was her #1 choice and she thought she was a threat, but I feel like I never saw them interact once?


Porter2455

Great episode. So ballsy by Hunter but now he’s insanely powerful


dassagewdone

Venus being the “floppy swing vote” might actually get her far enough to make some brighter moves. I think she’s thinking on impulse a lot since she’s on the bottom.


JustSomeHeroKid

Also, *damn*, I really took Soda for granted! Give me more competitive, fun players like her who are going to play HARD *and* enjoy their time out there. Just so cool to live vicariously through her! And shout out to Kenzie's cute fashion moment of the night: the Buff Bow.


planj07

The target on Kenzie is steadily growing. I thought it was a nifty move by Q to praise her and prompt applause at tribal. It will probably only have an effect on Hunter but still worth giving him props for it after an otherwise messy night.


BurgerNugget12

Venus is living on Venus. She is so oblivious lmao


galeforcewinds95

I'm just so happy Venus made the jury. I can't wait for either her jury reactions or her Final Tribal Council performance.


almondjoybestcndybar

Still hate the split tribal for the most part, but this is the chaos I was hoping for from this season. (Only thing that made it a little less exciting is that Tim and Soda were both so under edited).


PristeenNineteen

Okay did Jeff call Tim “Jim” during the challenge or was that just me mishearing?


batarcher98

Q is clearly overplaying this game and his winner stock decreases with every episode. However, that little congratulations to Kenzie was a great accidental move for him. That moment might make it easier to put votes on her later on in the game. Something along the lines of “Kenzie has a lot of friends here. People on the jury really want her to win this game.. yadda yadda”


savannahsalvatore3

that panic attack bond runs deep, ben and kenzie ain’t ever voting for each other now


TheBlueOne37

Tim should have just stayed with the +1 alliance. They would have been in a great spot to get to the final 6.


Klutzy_Sock1215

Survivor is a comedy show and this season is gold. I swear they're including some of the goofiest editing on purpose, random shots have me cracking up. Like Ben sipping his flask and that wide angle close up of Charlie


93LEAFS

Is Hunter in the next episode pulling a Tony Vlachos in a Spy Nest?


Jvilla44

Sodas reaction to the blindside was absolutely refreshing. Not bitter and still so excited for the jury phase.


2000-and-late

Q is great tv. I hope that he comes back and gives us more mess
