This is exactly what I had wanted for years now. Players interacting before they leave the game, months pass by and they are scared to express their true feelings because they have watched the show and because... twitter. I want to see true feelings of sadness, betrayal, revelations, bitterness etc.

I think people forget the kind of challenge beast Xander has been. Do you remember the challenge where they have to climb a wall and they all basically climb through his shoulders? There are people in the jury who will appreciate that like Naseer, Deshawn and Danny.

If purple Erika wins it will be the perfect ending to a shitty season where Shan got more air time than all people in the final five combined.

I don't think players will want to vote in a bitter way. They will still want to vote for the better player. Deshawn will tell them that there was a plan before merge to vote out Erika and Naseer by mistake won that challenge. Also the hourglass thing was just pure luck or else Erika would have been the one voted out that tribal. Erika is there only by lucky circumstances. Who would give her the win? They would be crazy to do that. They know they will be called bitter jurors if they do that.

Anyone knows when Celebrity Big Brother is starting? When I watch BB i miss Survivor and vice versa. :P

No way Evvie and Tiffany betray their original tribe member. It's not like Erika played a good game to even consider doing that. She was just a goat who is still in the game by pure luck.

If he is sitting next to Erika and Heather?

To be honest I see nobody left getting the winner's edit. Deshawn got much air time this episode but I think it was due to the POC matter and because of the truth bomb thing. If I had to choose, Erika and Heather got the purple edit for more than half of the episodes so I don't see them winning. Deshawn must be the next one leaving at final five. I could see Ricard and Xander fighting it out at the fire challenge and as usual the last years the winner of this challenge will also be the winner of the game. It's between Xander and Ricard in my opinion, with Xander being more possible because of Xander's friends at the jury. Tiffany, Evie, Danny, Deshawn and Naseer I think vote for Xander because he is the strongest player.

If Xander, Erika and Heather are final 3 (two goats who were not even shown until after merge) and Xander wins it will be the right choice but it will still mean that there's got to be a way to solve the goat problem. It's becoming ridiculous. One strong player and two goats. I cannot.

I'm also impressed with Xander who knows at 20 about the Monty Hall problem. I'm 40 and I still don't get it. :P https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Hall_problem

I don't want to sound disrespectful but, after 3 months of The Cookout I'm sick to death to listen about Black people needing to stay together IN A STUPID GAME to make other Black people happy. The episode is only 42 minutes and 1/3 of it is wasted on challenges. At least let us have some strategy the rest of the time. If I want a social talk show I have many to choose from. Of course podcasters will never say openly how bored they are to hear this kind of conversations but I bet Taran specifically would very much prefer strategy talk. I knew Liana would get voted out because now it makes sense when they showed her cry on the beach on episode 3 or something after she voted out Voce and not Xander. Nothing is shown for no reason.

Finally I was right at something! I hate it when they mix random phrases in the previews.

From Shan's interview: https://parade.com/1300702/mikebloom/shantel-shan-smith-survivor-41-interview/

Also I wanted to comment that Liana said in the episode that nothing in the game was more important for her than the moment she connected with Shan about their mothers but when Shan is voted out she says her vote goes to Ricard. Another betrayal and shitty behavior even after she gets voted out.

The show is a about marriage problems, what did you expect? :P

What bothers me a lot is that players who have stayed in the game more than Shan (Heather, Erika) have gotten maybe the tenth of the time that Shan got. Sure I know that Luvu never went to tribal and that Heather and Erika didn't have to show any game play before last episode, but still they deserved more exposure in the episodes. It's what I don't like with the American survivor's edit, they only show people who make moves and/or create some kind of drama. Even Sidney who left pre-merge had more air time than players who made the jury and maybe even the final tribal council. On Australian Survivor all players get some kind of air time and we get to know things about them. Shan did not deserve the winning edit she got at all. She was strategic but she made various serious mistakes.

Erika was many times on the chopping block. Lets not forget the time Luvu had decided to throw the challenge to vote her out. If Naseer had not beasted that comp out, she would have gone pre-merge. Then the thing with the turn back time happens. She was going to be gone there as well.

We see Xander on the preview saying "this is too good to be true" and it comes right after the scene with Jeff saying there is a twist but I don't think Xander's comment has to do with the twist. In fact I think that Liana will get in a fight with Danny - Deshawn and she will approach Xander to vote them out, while the same will happen with Danny and Deshawn, they will approach Xander to vote out Liana. I think that Danny - Deshawn will get their way and Liana will be voted out. I remember the episode after Voce was voted out that Liana was crying saying she regrets not having voted out Xander, and Xander now being the one to determine her fate in the game seems appropriate with that scene.

To be honest it seems like it's the logical thing to do but I'm sure something will make them lose their sense of logic. :P

I know but doesn't it usually start on October?

One million times YES!!!!

I didn't know where to ask this but why hasn't season 6 started yet?

I just wanted to say: Your edit was WAY better than you deserved. See you never.

I'm so happy to be wrong! I never want to see Shan again! I don't care who wins! The Cookout loses, Shan loses, I'm happy!

That's even sadder. Aren't there overweight actresses in the whole USA?
