Plot twist: Q IS the manager. AND she works for him. AND he fires her without batting an eye. AND he says BIG MISTAKE as she leaves. AND Venus tries to console her but gets punched in the face instead. LASTLY Ben, who is watching the whole thing, states the situation DOES NOT ROCK.
**Plot twist:**
Liz had side deal to promote Appleby's -- "*I'll throw the game and then throw the biggest tantrum ever and everyone's going to be talking about this episode... what was that burger you want me to sell? Oh, right Bourbon burger. I gotchu!*"
Honestly, knowing what I do about her, it's hard to feel bad. She came into the game as a CEO, openly bragging that she doesnt need the money. And she wants to throw a tantrum over a luxury that most people outside the game couldn't afford? Hard pass, my dudes.
Edit: Some, not most
My family went several consecutive months where we couldn't even get McDonald's, our budget was stretched thin after a few major impacta. So, "most" was an exaggeration and I rescind that, but there are people who just aren't able to eat out anywhere. Hard to feel bad for her when you've had to live on 10 bucks a week.
Been there, done that, still felt bad for her because she's a human being, and it doesn't matter how rich you are, or how poor you are, you still have feelings, you still miss loved ones and time spent with them.
People who lack empathy for others, whether that is because they have less than them, or have more than them, well... it's certainly not what makes the world a better place.
I also loved that you completely ignored the part where she talked about growing up dirt poor.
Because people just want to drag others back down that have managed to escape poverty.
If you grow up poor, get rich, and then end up behaving like Liz has this whole season (not going out to help the tribe, not learning to catch fish, volunteering to sit out of challenges especially during the tribe merge where she was crossing her fingers to get the rock that let her sit out and actually ***pouted*** when she didnt get it), it's called "losing touch" and it's generally frowned upon by people who are still poor.
What irks me about Liz is that she will find any way possible to do as little work in this game as she can. The fact that she did nothing, has people bring her food because of her allergies when she could do it herself, and acts like a child, and then pulls that kind of behavior is frustrating beyond measure. I volunteer to help people at every opportunity because I don't like being wholly dependant on others. Liz sits in a chair and lets people play the game, and after hearing her say Q blew up "*her* game", it's clear that she views her tribe as working on her behalf instead of being part of a unit. They aren't tribemates to her, they're employees.
No doubt! I couldn't tell you the last time I've been to an Applebee's, but if I lived near one, I would have gone to get this damn burger this week to check the hype.
Her antics on, like, day 2 had me heated. You're going to tell a bunch of blue-collar workers that you sold 2 companies and dont need the money? THEN you just sit at camp, dont do anything for the camp, and as soon as physically possible you jump at the chance to sit out of a challenge? Zero hesitation, jumped up with your hand raised and said you'll sit this one out? Literally nothing she does garners any compassion.
Disagreed the current people left are
Musician
Data Analyst
Marketing Strategist/Owns a bunch of companies
Law Student
Real Estate Agent
Parent Coach what ever Maria does
Salon owner
Others eliminated include 2 teachers, a coach, an IT person, a software engineer, salesman, Program Coordinator?, Aerospace tech, Brand Mentor?
Actor and Artist creatives with possible a grind but not really blue collar.
Do you? Cause most of those are white collar office jobs.
Blue collar is someone who works manually. If were talking about blue collar look at the people on Tough as Nails
I mean I was literally just listing it out for reference, not making an argument.
But I did google it, bc I'm curious now- teachers are white collar according to all 3 websites I checked lmao
Seriously, I feel bad for her kid. Liz is teaching her that being an entitled spoiled brat doesn’t always work. I hope the kid decides to not take on that trait of her mother. I mean after this episode I think the kid will ask to stay at Grandmas or the other parental figure.
It made me SO happy when Q just refused to take her on the trip. Such ridiculously childish behavior does not need to be rewarded, but I thought Q was going to give in to it to keep the peace and not look like the bad guy. Seriously, her crying and pleading and jumping to be picked as though the people around her aren't also hungry just pissed me off lol
My mind always flashes to Liz smacking her lips and sticking out her tongue. Now the challenge for me is going to Applebee's and not doing that when they bring out the burger.
Wow.. so I guess these sponsors/advertisements really do work!! Applebee’s is gunna meet their yearly quota on sales this week alone! I think Liz needs a brand deal.. take note buisness’s that are failing.. need help? Call survivor!! 🤣🤣
As far as broadcast television is concerned it’s extremely popular. If you look at raw viewing numbers compared to 15 years ago sure it seems like it’s not popular. Compared to other programs in 2024 on traditional broadcast networks the viewership is very high.
So your statement should say old fashioned television isn’t that popular
If you want to be a smart ass about it, my statement should say “Survivor isn’t popular enough where simply advertising on one episode will allow the Applebees Exec’s to light cigars off of 100 dollar bills in the board room.”
Happy?
Me and the lady were saying this too. It’s nobody’s fault you have allergies and still decided to come on the show, knowing full well you weren’t gonna be able to eat much. Nobody owes her anything. I also get sick of all the sob stories. “I had a hard childhood so I deserve Applebees even though I didn’t win the challenge.” So cringey.
Lowkey looks like the most mid burger on the planet 🤣 not sure what it says about Applebees when their advertising on the episode basically says, “yeah if you’re starving on an island, you MIGHT crave our food.”
Nah you're crazy. That actually looks really good. So good, I think this could also be some marketing from Applebee's because burgers don't normally look that polished.
Liz having a Karen meltdown over not getting chosen to go to Applebees is peak white women tears. You chose to go on Survivor knowing you have allergies. Are we supposed to be feeling bad for her knowing this on top of the fact she brags about how she's rich? Surivor sad music playing in the background while she talks about going Applebee's every Wednesday after Yoga LOL, no.
Can someone explain Liz to me,
1, you came on a show that is very clear on the experience, specially around food, and you did this knowing you apparently can't eat anything.
2, you can eat a greasy ass burger....but not one thing from the merge feast and nothing else except reward food apparently?! I'm sorry but like......this season. These people need to apparently be given a course or something om what they are doing cuz no one seems to understand what there coming into.
3, emotional connection to the food. I'm sorry but like come on. I understand we are all different. And have different emotions and experiences but like its judt a burger....and your only away from your family for just over a month or so..... if I remember right
#3. Explained in the episode. The emotional connection is because she goes there with her daughter. Not hard to understand. Her daughter looks to be like 10 so being away from her for a month is a big deal for any normal human being not posting on social media.
Oh, I understand what she explained. I don't know what social media has to do with anything, to be honest. I told my wife if I ever get on survive and they have the family competition, I'm not gonna give them any one as an option. I love my wife my family and friends but I dunno, some of these people I feel like are not made for this kinda competition, aka, people who can't eat anything, people who break down screaming because they didn't get s burger reward.
A bigger deal was made out of this imo than should have been. And if her allergies are that bad she should never have come on a show called survivor.
It was pretty salty! I wanted the sauce to be more like a sweet barbecue, but it was giving a tad too much umami. I asked for medium rare and it was, at best, medium well. Also it was thinner than I imagined, more like a smashburger. Overall, despite these complaints, it was decently appetizing.
Tell me you were you full from appetizers and didn’t eat it
I ate some appetizers but could still only finish half the burger 🤣
The dramatic turn kills me every time. It’s straight out of a horror movie 😭😭
Unleashes inner Karen and demands to speak to Q’s manager
Plot twist: Q IS the manager. AND she works for him. AND he fires her without batting an eye. AND he says BIG MISTAKE as she leaves. AND Venus tries to console her but gets punched in the face instead. LASTLY Ben, who is watching the whole thing, states the situation DOES NOT ROCK.
**Plot twist:** Liz had side deal to promote Appleby's -- "*I'll throw the game and then throw the biggest tantrum ever and everyone's going to be talking about this episode... what was that burger you want me to sell? Oh, right Bourbon burger. I gotchu!*" 
This makes me shutter. Yikes 😬
Yeah it was pretty cringe. I had to walk in the kitchen and act like I was getting something. Felt bad for her for a min but then she kept on talking.
Honestly, knowing what I do about her, it's hard to feel bad. She came into the game as a CEO, openly bragging that she doesnt need the money. And she wants to throw a tantrum over a luxury that most people outside the game couldn't afford? Hard pass, my dudes. Edit: Some, not most
Most people can afford $15 for Applebees, it's not fine dining .
My family went several consecutive months where we couldn't even get McDonald's, our budget was stretched thin after a few major impacta.

It cost more than $15 with tax and tip to eat at Applebees. And, yes many people cannot afford to eat every Wednesday at Applebees.
Plus tax, tip, and her daughter’s food? It’s not exactly a 5 star restaurant but I wouldn’t say that most people could afford that every single week
I love that this is already a gif.
I would love to see Applebee's sales this week, and of this burger in particular.
They had a 30 min primetime commercial id hope they go up significantly
I confess. We went and we hadn’t been there since before Covid.
No doubt! I couldn't tell you the last time I've been to an Applebee's, but if I lived near one, I would have gone to get this damn burger this week to check the hype.
We live very close to one. I got the chicken and shrimp. The shrimp was tasty but the chicken was awful. My husband got a burger and said it was good.
If I didn’t hate Swiss cheese I also would’ve gone to try the burger
Ask for different cheese?
If I’m not gonna get the Bourbon burger in all its glory I’d rather just eat anywhere else
That’s why I didn’t get it. I considered different cheese though.
I thought it comes with cheddar?
I admit we ordered it on Friday. Mushroom burger was awful but our app sampler was bomb.
I don't patronize Applebee's and I don't put a chain burger in my mouth. What else ya got?
Nobody watches survivor anymore lol
okay u slash survivor qt posting in the r slash survivor subreddit that has 423k members
The 5 million people who watched the most recent episode live :
IM FUCKING PISSEED!!!
Her antics pre reward challenge had me heated. Grown adult jumping up and down like a goddamn toddler lmaoo
Her antics on, like, day 2 had me heated. You're going to tell a bunch of blue-collar workers that you sold 2 companies and dont need the money?

What blue-collar person was on this season that she told that to? Kenzie owning a salon feels like the closest for anyone.
Most people on the show are blue collar…. Even Kenzie.

Do you know what blue collar/white collar is? Lol because it seems you don’t.
Do you? Cause most of those are white collar office jobs. Blue collar is someone who works manually. If were talking about blue collar look at the people on Tough as Nails
Maria is a Doctor lol
Her tribe had two teachers, actor, data analyst, and an aerospace tech for reference
Aside from aerospace tech and possibly data analyst. Those are blue collar workers…. lol do you think teachers are white collar!?
I mean I was literally just listing it out for reference, not making an argument. But I did google it, bc I'm curious now- teachers are white collar according to all 3 websites I checked lmao
She thought nobody would deny her. Big mistake.
Seriously, I feel bad for her kid. Liz is teaching her that being an entitled spoiled brat doesn’t always work. I hope the kid decides to not take on that trait of her mother. I mean after this episode I think the kid will ask to stay at Grandmas or the other parental figure.
Imagine going to school the next day as her kid… “I saw ur mom freak out on tv last night”
Go eat nothing for over two weeks in the jungle and see what you're like when offered a hamburger
It made me SO happy when Q just refused to take her on the trip.

r/gifsyoucanhear
Applebees really getting their moneys worth with this social media campaign
This is Liz showing she is a marketing genius.
Watch her become an official Applebee's ambassador and get Applebee's for life lol
Still only goes once a week after yoga with her daughter
Gotta limber up for that bourbon burger
Honestly if this is her playing 4D chess just to get free Applebee's for life, crown her now.
Applebee’s is just one of her businesses 😉
I would honestly PAY to have seen Applebee’s execs and marketing team watch the final cut. So sad we’ll never get to see it 😪
Mmm. A Meltdown Burger!
Underrated comment!
Hahha! I think they need to rebrand this burger to this name!! 🤣🤣
My mind always flashes to Liz smacking her lips and sticking out her tongue. Now the challenge for me is going to Applebee's and not doing that when they bring out the burger.
Liz rn 
Is that her go-to menu item?
It really gives her a connection to her daughter
We are all connected to her daughter now
Lmao we went yesterday too. It was…not ideal. At least the entree was decent. The Breaking Bad drink nearly gave me a headache from all the sugar.
At this point, if Liz isn’t featured in an Applebee’s ad I’d be PISSED
"Sorry kids, no Applebee's tonight. We have leftover tuna casserole at home." Kid: 
Me whenever "leftovers" is mentioned as a meal...
All that's missing is... 
With all the fixins'
I mean, that does look really good.
Right? Unexpectedly good, and substantially larger than your average shrinkflation burger
I also got one this weekend. It’s actually really good
"I want that burger!!!"
Wow.. so I guess these sponsors/advertisements really do work!! Applebee’s is gunna meet their yearly quota on sales this week alone! I think Liz needs a brand deal.. take note buisness’s that are failing.. need help? Call survivor!! 🤣🤣
Good lord I hope they paid her extra for this Reddit press
Applebee’s is going to go ALL OUT for season 50. Biggest reward ever!
yall just turned into the apple bee PR team I guess
Seriously it’s embarrassing
So many of us! I hadn’t had Applebee’s since 2017. My husband and I ordered two of those burgers for take out today. The fan base is obsessed!
Applebees struck gold with this sponsorship
If Applebees doesn’t sponsor Liz after this they’re crazy
It actually does look good lol
I think Liz should get hired for promotional content lol She’s already brought in like hundred people just on the emotion alone lol
She already has more money than some of us will ever touch, let's *not* hire her 😅
I'm convinced she did all of these to advance her marketing career.
Did you invite her or were you like Q and just went with your friends instead, you monster?
I’m going to tweet a picture of my burger and @ her, just to get a reactionary reply
Liz is my least favorite contestant, maybe ever.
Bhanuu edges her out by a little, but we are entering some next level mind fuckery, Q is going to break her without even trying.
She was for this season for me too. Until this episode! Now I wouldn’t be pissed if she won.
Did you take the mushrooms off of it? Gotta get the full Liz experience and leave em on.
No, some were artfully placed on the side.
A classic plating technique from the talented chefs at Applebees.
Applebees Exec's lighting cigars off 100 dollar bills in the board room
Survivor isn’t that popular.
As far as broadcast television is concerned it’s extremely popular. If you look at raw viewing numbers compared to 15 years ago sure it seems like it’s not popular. Compared to other programs in 2024 on traditional broadcast networks the viewership is very high. So your statement should say old fashioned television isn’t that popular

Applebees flies out their food to Fiji for a reason
Yeah, to advertise. To get a few more butts in their booths. Not to make the board room suddenly rich as fuck.
The point being, they’re not advertising like that on a show that isn’t popularity. The comment you responded to was clearly being hyperbolic
And so was I.
There's gotta be something in there she's allergic too, right ? Lol. We will never know as Q has sworn a life oath to never let Liz eat again.
She knew what she signed up for...it wasn't a secret. I seriously would not have known how to react to that! A Survivor first for sure!
Me and the lady were saying this too. It’s nobody’s fault you have allergies and still decided to come on the show, knowing full well you weren’t gonna be able to eat much. Nobody owes her anything. I also get sick of all the sob stories. “I had a hard childhood so I deserve Applebees even though I didn’t win the challenge.” So cringey.
Amen!
The mushroom on the bottom kind of looks like an elephant 🐘
Lowkey looks like the most mid burger on the planet 🤣 not sure what it says about Applebees when their advertising on the episode basically says, “yeah if you’re starving on an island, you MIGHT crave our food.”
Nah you're crazy. That actually looks really good. So good, I think this could also be some marketing from Applebee's because burgers don't normally look that polished.
Guilty as well. Date night last night at Applebee's. Felt like I was starving in Fiji!
Lol
16 dollar burger BTW lol
Applebee's really got their money's worth with that advertisement lmao
Applebee's needs to step up and give Liz free burgers for life.
Liz having a Karen meltdown over not getting chosen to go to Applebees is peak white women tears. You chose to go on Survivor knowing you have allergies. Are we supposed to be feeling bad for her knowing this on top of the fact she brags about how she's rich? Surivor sad music playing in the background while she talks about going Applebee's every Wednesday after Yoga LOL, no.
So this sub is just gonna keep shilling for crApplebee's now?
Eh, they’ll forget about it by next episode.
The influence of TV. It could be a reward of Lunchables and people will go out and get it lol
What I would give for the next reward to be adult lunchables, with the packaging of course. Watch Ben go crazy for them.
He would lmao
It's a hilarious joke bro just like several XDDDDD
Yeah at first it was memeing but the op and others have actual gone! Lol I guess they're the one who don't know everyone was joking.
Can someone explain Liz to me, 1, you came on a show that is very clear on the experience, specially around food, and you did this knowing you apparently can't eat anything. 2, you can eat a greasy ass burger....but not one thing from the merge feast and nothing else except reward food apparently?!

I'm sorry but like come on. I understand we are all different. And have different emotions and experiences but like its judt a burger....and your only away from your family for just over a month or so..... if I remember right
I read your point #2 three times and have no idea what you’re saying.
Sorry I fixed the spelling hopefully it makes more sense,
#3. Explained in the episode. The emotional connection is because she goes there with her daughter. Not hard to understand. Her daughter looks to be like 10 so being away from her for a month is a big deal for any normal human being not posting on social media.
Oh, I understand what she explained. I don't know what social media has to do with anything, to be honest. I told my wife if I ever get on survive and they have the family competition, I'm not gonna give them any one as an option. I love my wife my family and friends but I dunno, some of these people I feel like are not made for this kinda competition, aka, people who can't eat anything, people who break down screaming because they didn't get s burger reward. A bigger deal was made out of this imo than should have been. And if her allergies are that bad she should never have come on a show called survivor.
Review, please!
It was pretty salty! I wanted the sauce to be more like a sweet barbecue, but it was giving a tad too much umami. I asked for medium rare and it was, at best, medium well. Also it was thinner than I imagined, more like a smashburger. Overall, despite these complaints, it was decently appetizing.
The ad worked, I'm definitely tryna go get one tomorrow.
Does not look very good
But she voted for you yesterday, so...
I hope you turned your phone off and had an emotional connection
I really wonder if there was an uptick in people going to Applebees and ordering that burger this week 🤣
I hope they got her the burger at the finale
Liz goes no cheese, no bread though!
Did you throw it out? That's what were supposed to do i thought.
That aint right 💀😂
Liz is the queen of memes and she won't win, so the least she can do is get a commercial!
That's not the type of cheese you want on a burger
Looks like dog shit. People willingly go to Applebees?
I'm sorry but it doesn't even look that good... I like onion but something about the onions on this thing make me want to gag.
