[Lantern7]

Shauhin should be tribal chanting.

[truthaboutluv]

Eva's going to win. 

eta: Oh, thank goodness that mess didn't happen.

[Straycat80]

Kyle wins! Not surprised. 

[dizzyd]

Tg jury didn’t reward the sobbiest. Congrats Kyle!

[Haleth]

Well, ok. 

[MerBearHou]

I am THRILLED for Kyle!!!  Love him.  Great winner!

The final votes:

JOE

EVA

KYLE

EVA

KYLE

KYLE

KYLE

Kyle wins Survivor 48!

[Lantern7]

Kyle wins the million bucks and attention for maybe a week.

As much as the studio Reunions could suck . . . how messed up is it that the last one followed S39, one of the shittiest seasons ever?

I love it!  Kyle was my favorite and my pick from Day One.  That has almost never happened.

[LadyChatts]

Wow, 2 votes for Eva.  I thought they might have showed if anyone else got a vote to make it more suspenseful.  

Well, congrats Kyle! 

No Probst can't say I loved this season.

[KeithJ]

25 minute after show including commercials? Lame.

[DEL901]

OMG. Kyle was right.  Joe and Eva had each other and were challenge beasts.  Kyle had to use his brain.  And Kamilla helped give him opportunities to shine, instead of trying to take some of the credit for heraself.

The S50 cast is getting revealed in a week so he's got that, at most.  I feel bad because S49 is going to get completely overshadowed by 50.

[MerBearHou]

I am shocked that Joe only got one vote.  

[Rodney]

Kyle is the fourth black man to win, and the sixth black winner overall, following Maryanne from 42, Wendell from Ghost Island, Jeremy from Cambodia, Earl from Fiji, and going all the way back to Vecepia from Marquesas.

[iMonrey]

Well I called it five minutes in. (Go back and check!) The editing has gotten really, really bad about telegraphing the result every episode. It's like they think we've never watched the show before. Maybe they haven't. 

[susannot]

Can't believe that Joe only got one vote.  Jury rewarded superior gameplay.

[gorgy]

of all the seasons of survivor, that sure was one of them

[Brown44]

I was a idiot and Kyle was right going to the finals with Joe. It didn't help Joe that Eva and Kyle ran laps around him pleading there case.

[Lamb18]

Well I'm glad Kyle won. I also liked Eva's look of dismay when when Kyle got his third vote.

It was also nice to have a more split vote than an unanimous vote.

That he even got one shows how out of touch Cedrek was with what was going on.  Which tracks with how he played the game, basically.

[Lantern7]

Eva’s going on S50. That’s set in stone, yes?

[DEL901]

Joe and Eva outplayed at the challenges, but didn’t outwit.  They just relied on each other, and misread Kyle’s machinations.

[gorgy]

season 49 should just be all past survivors that were voted out first

[rr2911]

YES!!!!!  

Boy was I wrong!  And I'm glad I was wrong!

Joe and Eva both looked shocked and disappointed.  Good, they know how the others felt.

Congratulations Kyle on winning S48!

[Brown44]

We can kinda guest who's gonna be in Survivor 50.

Right!  Kyle had to have known he could argue rings around Joe. And he did.

[DEL901]

Cedrick voted for Joe?  Star and Mary voted for Eva.  Eva and Joe voted for Kyle?  Wow.

Edited May 22 by DEL901

[Lantern7]

“Cedrek, why did you vote for Joe?” “Minimum, I’m getting edited to be the dumbass. I might as well carry that out to the end.”

[Rodney]

So Eva's other vote was from Star, like I thought.

So Chrissy, Kamilla, David, Mitch, and Shauhin voted for Kyle.

[gorgy]

if I lost out on a million dollars by the people that were sitting with me, that pizza would taste like ashes

[Rodney]

Oh, damn.  Kamilla would've gotten a unanimous win had she made it to the F3.

[Carey]

Yet another "incorrect" poster.  Both the winner and the results.  First new era non shutout.  I think that's reasonable

[LadyChatts]

Too bad we didn't get to see how much of a spark plug Star was.  She deserved better.  I'm shocked she voted for Eva, as I don't think Eva really deserved it from her.

And this is why I wish Jeff would give everyone a chance to compose themselves before doing this aftershow.

[Lantern7]

Aw, Eva is demonstrating the word “crestfallen” with her face.

[iMonrey]

Eva thought she had it in the bag. She looked shocked when Jeff pulled out more votes for Kyle.

[susannot]

"I want to talk a little bit more to Eva."  Says the host of the Jeff Probst Talk Show, milking every bit of pathos out of the season.

Perfectly stated.

Interesting. COVID took away the studio Reunion. If you lost, you might look like a schmuck, but you would’ve had a few months to prepare for the possibility.

[Brown44]

50 is gonna over shadow 49 bc everyone is gonna wanna hurry it up to get to 50 especially if the people we think is gonna be in it is in it.

Chrissy (?) at final tribal. She was in the second row wearing glasses.

The sad part? Francesca would probably be voted off first, and no one would be able to blame “Special Agent” Philip. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[rr2911]

I wonder if they are going to invent an award and give it to Eva!

[Thalia]

Again, I suppose I'm supposed to feel bad that Eva is sitting there crying.   But her shock over Kyle getting a second or third vote was fairly irritating.   Like she couldn't believe he was receiving more than one vote.

You know what, I'd watch that. And I actually have thought a few times of that idea and that it could be an interesting season. 

Because there have been players who left early that I truly believe could have been formidable players, but the chips just didn't work out in their favor. 

[LadyChatts]

Probst is probably on the phone to Sia asking her to come out of retirement with her money award.  

Eva did look surprised at losing (and only getting 2 votes).  

Jeez, we are hearing more from Star here than we did all season and it makes me mad.  She's great!  Bring her back.

[susannot]

Kyle isn't talking very much.  He is just basking in the glow of winning $1 million.

[Carey]

Knowing her, she can create her own version of the Sia award and give it to herself, to best feel satisfied

[Lantern7]

Right, Mary getting a good Shot In The Dark. Perhaps the most interesting moment that didn’t involve Eva breaking down.

When the show finally started showing Star's personality, I wanted her to win. She was my favorite.

This was a rare season where I liked everyone except for Saio (Shay). After Star left, I wanted Kamilla to win.
