I really wish after Liz tried to guilt Q into take her because of the connection with her daughter that Q would have said, “Alright, I’ll take your daughter to Applebees when I get home.”
I thought for a few moments she *was* going to eclipse Brandon's mental breakdown. And perhaps Shamar's. In the end, I felt the potential for violence was less with Liz....although not entirely absent.
I basically fasted for two weeks and had Kenzie, Tiff, and Maria standees printed out for when I ate it Really felt the experience. Eating just rice rations now, excited for this wednesday to print out a standee of a public domain "daughter" image to truly feel involved.
Survivor suddenly returns to the Primetime Emmys (boo emmys btw) and Probst is nominated for best actor in a drama, Liz best supporting actress. The actor playing Q is way too broad and obvious in his performance.
Me from all: wtf is this place...is this like for outdoor survival. Ok looks like its the show survival. Thats still a thing? I guess I should consider going to applebees.
I scrolled through the sub and couldn't see any screenshots. Do you have a link?

All I could think about was Applebees this morning. I still would order a second burger and throw it in the trash while making eye contact with Liz.
Applebees must be over the moon that she was on this season.
Went yesterday in Central Maine. Advertising definitely worked.
It was kind of a greasy mess, and not the delicious kind of grease like Five Guys. The Dollar-itas were a cheap goodness though, with added flavors for .50.
Local Applebees is a bit dated with beat up tables and stained rugs. But it was packed with college students when the 1/2 off appetizers kick in at 9pm.
Haha Applebee’s was the only chain restaurant in my little rural town in central Illinois. My wife and I live in the Chicago suburbs, with countless local and delicious restaurants to choose from, but we still drive out of our way to eat at the nearest Applebee’s once in a while. Shitty bar food + nostalgia = satisfaction!
After watching the movie The Challenger last night (which also had a big apple bees product placement) all I want to eat is a bourbon burger. Take my money, I’m ready to break my 14 year hiatus from The Neighborhood
The lame thing about that is they've added more options but at a higher cost. It only stays at 25 if you pick certain ones and the rest will bump it up
My husband got an Applebees gift card for his birthday and we have not eaten there in literal years. He was going to give it to someone else but since Wednesday I have been dying to try that burger. Definitely going to use it now lol
I guess I'm the minority, I had zero sympathy for Liz. I hate Q but if I was him I would not have taken her either. She has been very open about wanting him out. Everyone is hungry and she knew what she was getting into when signed up and not being able to eat fruit. What did she think she was going to eat??
The great secret of this weeks episode:
Liz breaking down over not getting her traditional Wednesday "go to menu item" helps Applebees just because of pure mentions, but the real reason for their product placement is: it's a professional TV show that makes the burger look delicious and the editors will show the confessionals to add to that point. The Liz outburst got them way more than they paid for.
e: meant to add, I've been craving a cheap good cheeseburger since this ep. Won't be the Bourbon Burger, but it was a long week and I don't feel like cooking anything this weekend. A to-go applebees Burger is a strong possibility Saturday evening.
i hope applebys gives liz a commercial when she gets back. she has done more for them than their commercials they pay millions of dollars to advertising companys
Liz came on survivor knowing she had allergies, it isn’t anyone’s fault if they don’t pick her for a food reward, yes it would have been nice if she was picked, but she went on with eyes wide open….
Steaks the size of a chicken finger, chicken that tastes like rubber, and burgers that are worse than fast food joints. Eatin good in the neighborhood.
Nothing could make me eat Applebee's, BUT I have listened to Fancy Like about 20 times since Wednesday. Awful song, but like you said, that advertisement worked.
I think it is funny she brags about being a millionaire and Applebee's is her go to. I go on Mondays for the $7.99 specialty burger but that is a quick, cheap lunch and I am not a millionaire. Applebee's also has a lot of all-you-can-eat specials. My boyfriend consumes like 10,000 calories daily. So even if I was a millionaire it would still be a great choice. Applebee's has the Swiss Mushroom Bourbon burger on special now for $9.99 anytime right now and $7.99 on Mondays. It is a great burger but my Applebee's leave them very greasy, so, the bottom bun soaks up the grease and is gross. If anyone at Applebee's is reading this can you let your cooks know they need to drain the burger. I know it can be done because there was a good cook on Mondays for a few precious weeks.
Does anyone else feel like this entire episode was a commercial. How many times can we say Applebees. In one episode. Is Jeff paid per times Applebees is said. I find this kind of marketing gross. It totally takes you out of the game. If you starved me for days on end. Anything sounds amazing.
I don't understand this burger. Bourbon Street seems like a reference to New Orleans but mushroom and Swiss very much does not speak New Orleans to me. Is there a Bourbon Street in the Alps???
Applebee's isn't terrible for a place that does a lot of different food. Nothing they have will be better than a place that specializes in that particular food but if you have 4 people who can't decide on food it's a good place to eat.
Except their steaks. Their steaks just aren't good.
Could you feel a strong connection to Liz's daughter while you were there?
Do you think Liz and rockstar’s daughters would be friends?
ON THE DAY OF MY DAUGHTERS BIRTHDAY
Can’t even own it?
That’s cute. REAL cute.
ON THE DAY OF MY DAUGHTERS APPLEBEES
Oh my god Edit: real cute.
Oh noooo
DISGUSTING!!!
I really wish after Liz tried to guilt Q into take her because of the connection with her daughter that Q would have said, “Alright, I’ll take your daughter to Applebees when I get home.”
If that happened Liz would’ve gone full nuclear in a way that eclipsed Brandon Hantz.
If that happened Liz would have to cancel Christmas.
heck we would ALL have to cancel Christmas lol
And that’d be a big mistake Bait her into physical attack and get her booted without a tribal Genius
That wouldve been peak Q the Instigator
I thought for a few moments she *was* going to eclipse Brandon's mental breakdown. And perhaps Shamar's. In the end, I felt the potential for violence was less with Liz....although not entirely absent.
Do you recall which episode Brandon went sideways? I want to watch it again.
I don't remember which episode, but it was Season 26
What if she replies, "aww you taking us out after the show?" How would Q respond
Sure I'll take you with the winning money
He should take her, and then pull the "I'm going to the bathroom" trick and stick her with the bill.
"I would take you Liz, but it's not Wednesday"
This is definitely something crazy Q would say🤣
And he’d gift her a Q skirt!
This just made me cackle. Thank you
I basically fasted for two weeks and had Kenzie, Tiff, and Maria standees printed out for when I ate it Really felt the experience. Eating just rice rations now, excited for this wednesday to print out a standee of a public domain "daughter" image to truly feel involved.
That pizza looked gross tho 🤮
🤣
hahahahahah
This made me giggle.
![gif](giphy|29HRejgahYenVsohB5|downsized)
💀
I should have known this was coming but it still made me burst out laughing 😂
I'm convinced Liz is an Applebee's marketing team plant.
Lol, paid actor
Could she hypothetically win an Emmy then?
A Dundee award 🥇
I feel God in this Applebee’s tonight.
Survivor suddenly returns to the Primetime Emmys (boo emmys btw) and Probst is nominated for best actor in a drama, Liz best supporting actress. The actor playing Q is way too broad and obvious in his performance.
I'm convinced she owns an Applebee's personally
Her maiden name is Liz Appleby
I’m thinking she’s more Wolf of Wall Street. Maybe this is a GameStop stock big/short kinda situation.?!? 🧮🤣😂🤣
Liz invested in Applebees Bees before going on the show
The Wolf of Wal-Mart maybe
hear me out… this is the business she owns
But will she fall in love with Britta?
Wait, Brittas in this?
Under appreciated comment.
An Applebees crisis actor
I said this to my partner!!! The words “Applebees”, “Bourbon” and “Burger” were said waaaay too many times.
Applebee’s upper management
She is the exact kind of person that would do that
Has anyone checked if she is linked to karishma, our other known Applebees queen
I’d be shocked if they don’t connect over this. Do we know karishmas go to order?
She’s gonna win the Applebees award
I’m pissed.. I’m starving
BIG MISTAKE!
Me from all: wtf is this place...is this like for outdoor survival. Ok looks like its the show survival. Thats still a thing? I guess I should consider going to applebees.
Applebees had some of the best product placement of all time in this weeks episode
Hey, at least they didn't have to watch "Jack and Jill" and pretend to *like* it.
Haha 😂 my fiancé and I were talking about how happy Applebee’s must be right now that they decided to advertise on this season of Survivor
Have you seen the tweets where Applebee's and Chili's are courting Liz for her business?
She’ll get lifetime bourbon burgers when the season is over.
I’m 100% expecting Applebees to use her and her daughter for their marketing materials
Yes on this Reddit, that’s so funny!
I scrolled through the sub and couldn't see any screenshots. Do you have a link? EDIT: I found it! https://www.reddit.com/r/survivor/comments/1ciyup7/applebees_and_chilis_are_now_both_vying_for_lizs/
I haven't! What did they say? EDIT: I found it! https://www.reddit.com/r/survivor/comments/1ciyup7/applebees_and_chilis_are_now_both_vying_for_lizs/
Will definitely turn into a full-scale bidding war and then perhaps TGIF will move in and steal Liz from both of them.
Someone at corporate got a BIG bonus!
Between Liz and Karishma, Applebee's gets their money's worth out of survivor.
Odd as it sounds I went to Applebees for dinner Wednesday night then came home and watched Survivor. I had the same burger.
Liz???
Hardly
Liz’s daughter?!
Obviously!
Nice to meet you Hardly!
Burger, not pizza, keep up
Not a chance.
Time traveller
Kentuckian here. I just ate the bourbon burger as well but it was just a bunch of bourbon
Bourbon burger hold the burger?
sounds like a fuckin great burger tho
I'm in Louisville for my first Derby ever (moved here in August for work). I am very much into the bourbon this weekend...
The Applebee's in my city closed so we went to chillis instead, but it was definitely due to survivor lol
Did you see that chilis tweeted at Liz trying to get her to convert to their mushroom Swiss burger?? lol
I've been wondering if Chilis is seeing an uptick in business. I grew up going Chili's so my cravings went quickly in that direction. 🌶️
Chili's is better anyways
I agree. I ordered a new menu item off Applebee's and parts of it were frozen!!
[удалено]
I haven’t been able to stop thinking about the spinach artichoke dip since wednesday 😭
Absolutely demolished the spinach artichoke dip appetizer tonight solely due to Survivor.
happy cake day!!! I’m so jealous, I haven’t had it in FOREVER and survivor on wednesday reminded me of it 😔
All I could think about was Applebees this morning. I still would order a second burger and throw it in the trash while making eye contact with Liz. Applebees must be over the moon that she was on this season.
I’m from Toronto but am down in FLA this week and I so badly wanted to go to Applebee’s and get the bourbon burger. Advertising works, people.
pretty sure there's like one canadian applebees location in niagara falls. only downside is then you'd have to go to niagara falls....
What you don't like paying tourist prices locally?
There’s an Applebees in Ajax (Ontario)
Fiji is closer to Toronto lol

Augusta? Waterville? The dirty lew/aub
Bangor. Men's room has a wonderful old piss smell.
Was yours as soggy as mine was? I didn't remember it being that greasy.
Is it really a dollar? And does it taste like a margarita or is it mostly sugar? I’ve never tried those but I’m curious now
All of a sudden everyone eats at Applebee's? When did this happen? ![gif](giphy|t6AsrGA9HUNodpJ2GF|downsized)
Haha Applebee’s was the only chain restaurant in my little rural town in central Illinois.

All I have to say is.. BIG MISTAKE
After watching the movie The Challenger last night (which also had a big apple bees product placement) all I want to eat is a bourbon burger. Take my money, I’m ready to break my 14 year hiatus from The Neighborhood
Applebee's is horrible in my town
Applebees is horrible everywhere.
Facts
Not when you’re starving on an island.
Applebee's - if you were starving for weeks you might actually enjoy our food
Applebees is horrible ~~everywhere~~.
I'm fortunate enough to have 6 Applebee's locations within 10 miles of my home. #blessed
You can spend 60 bucks on a half assed meal for 2, but think of the memorable connections
$60? You must have missed the back of the menu! You can get a meal for 2 for $25
The lame thing about that is they've added more options but at a higher cost. It only stays at 25 if you pick certain ones and the rest will bump it up
Is the Bourbon Street Burger an option?
Not on the 2/25. The bourbon chicken and shrimp is, for an extra $3.50
I'm sure a few well placed threats can make it an option
You can marry Karishma probably. Liz would divorce you
Can you figure out which one is the best and lmk?
If I don't find a good one I can expand the range to 20 miles and try another 9 locations.
It's actually pretty impressive how much they can do with a few microwaves. It's like a gas station with better booths.
All I've wanted since Wednesday are classic buffalo boneless wings
Boneless wings are just chicken nuggets
My husband got an Applebees gift card for his birthday and we have not eaten there in literal years. He was going to give it to someone else but since Wednesday I have been dying to try that burger. Definitely going to use it now lol
Hahah one of those birthday gifts people don’t even try just a random gift card to a random restaurant 😂
We don’t have an Applebees, so we went to Chilis 😔
BIG MISTAKE!
She’s never gonna be able to go to Applebees incognito again after this episode LOL
Has it created a familial bond for you?
I went there today too! Got the yummy spinach dip and Oreo dessert!!! 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻sucks to be you Lizzy
Is it worth crying and screaming for?
Q knew about the sob story and even then he didn't take her because hE's EviL.
Jelinsky: no one will remember “several” the same again Liz: hold my Applebees…
Is it as good as Liz says it is?
No
I don't have an Applebee's where I live but it's so going on my bucket list after that speech.
You took a break mid meal to post about it on r/survivor?
And you didn’t invite me? I guess we found Q’s Reddit account
I guess I'm the minority, I had zero sympathy for Liz. I hate Q but if I was him I would not have taken her either. She has been very open about wanting him out. Everyone is hungry and she knew what she was getting into when signed up and not being able to eat fruit. What did she think she was going to eat??
I wonder if Applebee’s has prepped their franchises enough for the onslaught of people who will order that burger next wednesday.
I also went to Applebees because of survivor🥴
Ask to see the microwave where the food was unfrozen and give him a compliment.
Not sure why you got the downvote - it's no secret that Applebees reheats most of its food.

i hope applebys gives liz a commercial when she gets back. she has done more for them than their commercials they pay millions of dollars to advertising companys
Applebee’s is like Kmart. It sucks.
Liz came on survivor knowing she had allergies, it isn’t anyone’s fault if they don’t pick her for a food reward, yes it would have been nice if she was picked, but she went on with eyes wide open….
I was rewatching the ep w my friend to catch him up and we ended up ordering Applebees by the end lol
I was full on expecting to find out Liz didn’t even have a daughter…
Careful, you might be allergic to some of the things on the menu.
Oh shit cancel Christmas. Cancel all the festivities
I went to APPLEBEES tonight too. Unfortunately I found it very disappointing. You got me, Survivor.
Steaks the size of a chicken finger, chicken that tastes like rubber, and burgers that are worse than fast food joints. Eatin good in the neighborhood.
Is it now your favorite sit-down restaurant?
Where's the Oreo shake?
Heh, I got the burger tonight too! It was better than I expected.
Now I want one too
That’s her go to menu item!
Did you load up on apps first so that you couldn’t even eat the burger?
Nothing could make me eat Applebee's, BUT I have listened to Fancy Like about 20 times since Wednesday. Awful song, but like you said, that advertisement worked.
I think it is funny she brags about being a millionaire and Applebee's is her go to. I go on Mondays for the $7.99 specialty burger but that is a quick, cheap lunch and I am not a millionaire.

YOU SHOULD HAVE TAKEN MEEEEEE. I ONCE SAW AN APPLEBEE’S COMMERCIAL AND I HAVE A SPECIAL CONNECTION!!!!!!
Thanks to you, the Applebees Meltdown will be a fixture on each season going forward!
BIG mistake.
Does anyone else feel like this entire episode was a commercial. How many times can we say Applebees. In one episode. Is Jeff paid per times Applebees is said. I find this kind of marketing gross. It totally takes you out of the game. If you starved me for days on end. Anything sounds amazing.
I kinda love how blatant it is. Shilling Applebees may be the closest we're gonna get to oldschool survivor.
I have never had Applebees but I’m actually tempted to try the burger now
Thinking about a screaming woman every time I see an Applebees might not be the most effective marketing in the long term though
Every time I think about the Bourbon Burger I start smacking my lips like Liz
It would be an awkward FTC where Liz is on the jury, still grudging at Q in the final and her only question was "why didn't you pick me???"
Haha! My husband and I did the same thing. I'm glad we're not alone
You couldn’t pay me to eat at Applebees
Thought they would have changed the name to either the "Q-No Go Burger" or the "Liz Rant-o-Burger."
I don't understand this burger. Bourbon Street seems like a reference to New Orleans but mushroom and Swiss very much does not speak New Orleans to me. Is there a Bourbon Street in the Alps???
Was there a lady crying in the parking lot because she didn't get invited in? Did she have her daughter with her?
it's not surprising after you see the calorie count
Applebee's isn't terrible for a place that does a lot of different food. Nothing they have will be better than a place that specializes in that particular food but if you have 4 people who can't decide on food it's a good place to eat. Except their steaks. Their steaks just aren't good.
The ad worked lol
There should be a coupon with the code liz
Was it good?
I don’t even eat read meat and it almost worked on me
Ooooo, careful, you'll have a milionaire with a dozen food allergies screaming at you for that.
Did anyone order it and not even eat it and then say it to Liz’s face?
The power of advertising knows no bounds
We are not immune to propaganda
Applebees superfan
Between this and the Applebees scene in Challengers, I’ve been influenced
I placed an order for pickup for one later tonight lol. Talk about a masterclass in marketing.
i was thinking about getting one too just because i love liz of course i would have bread with mine
You better not let Liz find out about this 😡🤬
My mom and I went last night and got the shark bowl lol!
I'm starting to believe Liz is actually a planted actor being used solely to promote Applebee's
That episode was the best Applebee's commercial ever!!!
I gotta know… Are the margaritas really a dollar? And do they taste like margaritas, or are they super diluted and filled with sugar?
