AUS EP24
Non spoiler review: this season had a LOT to live up to, it was following TvR which might just be the best global survivor season ever.....so it had shoes to fill. Did it live up to and surpass what came before? No. Was it an extremely fun season full of surprises (including global survivor records being beaten) and memorable characters? It sure was. It's a constant reminder that a 45 day game gives you plenty of time to appreciate the story you're watching and moves being made.
Hahahahahahaha Kaelan picking up AJ and carrying him all by himself was so wholesome. While I would have liked to see AJ get his first win Im happy for Kaelan for once again dominating. SEVEN wins. Seeing him break down was such a a moment......if it was against anyone else I'd say he'd be a perfect winner.

As soon as Myles brought up that Kaelan had made promises to BOTH of them I knew AJ was gone. Even though AJ brought up sooooo many good points as to the number of records that Myles has also broken.....RIP AJ.

GODDAMN Kaelan's pitch to the jury was flawless. I was VERY impressed! Myles' was also super well put together and full of valid points too. I think it really came down to Myles being more flashy and in your face, Kaelan laying low for him to the final two but he laid too low for people to notice and take note in the jury to be able to earn their votes. Plus Myles playing from the bottom allllllllllll game....he had the better storyline. But even during the questioning by the jury I was super impressed by how fiery Kaelan was! Ugh if only we'd seen more of this side of him during the season, if only he had more of a presence....and then AJ's final questioning I think made Kaelan lose confidence and unable to convey properly for the next few questions and Myles was able to shine.

The jungle rat lives on to become the sole survivor. Much deserved, he made the show entertaining. What a fun season.....not the best but I very much enjoyed it. I'm glad Kaelan got one vote because I'm sure it meant a lot to him, he played a hell of a game. He was just going up against Myles and like AJ said, he took people to the end he couldn't beat. His win record may never be beaten so he should be proud of his name going down in the books.
Bring on VS THE WORLD next!

 

I totally hear you, and it's definitely a combination of both (gameplay and personalities) which make Survivor the best reality show. In your example though, if I knew Gabler was the winner before I watched the season it would absolutely affect how I watched that season, likely would be pretty bummed most of the time knowing that no one else had a chance

 

Haha I remember so well during that season people kept being like "guys is gabler getting the winners edit" "guys the number of confessionals keeps going up" "this edit is too much" and I tried sooooo hard to shut that out but even I came to notice something was up. So while I consider that a very low point as far as winners go, in the other hand we got Jessie, Cody, Carla, and Cassidy who imo had the unfortunate circumstance of being on 43 lol. Because those personalities I feel outshine the actual season they were in. I think that can go hand in hand with what you said but in the opposite direction, had I seen Jesse in a potential future season (without seeing 43) and discovered he WASN'T the winner is be like HOW is this extremely likable, extremely skilled in maneuvering the game, extremely capable person...how do they NOT win their season??? Which would then lead me to want to seek out 43 and then while yeah I'd feel robbed of a Jesse win I think I'd ultimately like the season as a whole because gabler aside, there was enough intrigue to keep my eyes glued to the TV. Which is what my experience was with AUS, I was like who is this glorious majestic person and what season were they on previously???

 

AU finale
The jungle rat did it!!! I really didn’t think that was possible a few weeks ago wow lol. Myles is probably my favorite winner in a long time, one of my favorite Survivor characters ever at this point.

 

him and AJ were neck and neck, I wasn't sure who was gonna win......then Kaelan cut AJ and I was like well looks like now we know! Kaelan went down swinging but the jungle rat became the rat king! Truly one hell of a journey, from constantly being in the bottom to where he finished. His montage in the episode was perfect, while he made big moves he also was sloppy.....but in the end he owned up to it. One great strategist, not only will his gameplay be remembered but HIM too!

 

Aussies finale spoilers reaction

Really tremendous final three, and I’m glad Kaelan got a vote at FTC because he just dominated the physical part of the game. AJ got too cocky at the end, for a guy who was already playing an overly cocky game to begin with. I think Myles just edged him out in my ranking of deserving winners, and the rightfully deserving player won. Great season overall.

 

"Enough is enough!" It's finally time for the strong men to have their moment!!

Dumbass David

 

Sentiment seems to be really down on this season, people not liking the “strong guys” alliance, and rightfully so. But I think there’s still hope. If anyone outside of that alliance somehow wins it kind of becomes an all-time great season IMO. Plus I kind of think like Kyle and Shauhin are ready to flip at any point, at which point it also gets exciting again.

 

i honestly think kyle is the winner.

 

I think David is already set to destroy his own alliance and it'll get better. I hope

 

I'm ready for this season to take off. It felt like every episode of 47 from episode 3 on was a banger. The characters on this season have been so fun, but halfway through everything is starting to feel flat. The gameplay has been so meh that even the personalities feel blunted.

I think it's interesting that there are essentially four pairs, and then Shauhin. If he has any sense, he'll team up with Kyle and Kamilla, and those three will gather Star and Mitch and they'll start picking off the strong alliance. Of course, Shauhin could just as easily team up with the strong alliance. I think he might actually be in the best position to win right now.

 

I don't understand how no one is realizing the absolute beast that Mitch is in challenges

 

Did we just go like 45 mins before the challenge LOL. But then again everyone started dropping like flies so it was a quick one heh.

Damn good episode. Damn good.

 

Phew

 

Episode saved the season. Everyone's personalities were back in full force and the game just got 100% more interesting.

 

echoing what an awesome episode that was. really hope kyle wins.

 

Kyle is so exciting to watch for what I like about Survivor, he is very calm and collected but clever as hell. He really looks at the game from the best strategy, doesnt freak out, and just works to solve problems. His and Kamilla's relationship is exactly what I have always thought would be a perfect strategy, a secret #1 like this. Especially now, if it goes 4v4 and the two of them are on opposite sides, it's perfect because if they need to save each other, they can just manipulate their side's 4 votes and save the other one, and it can still be pretty secret

 

Yeah this was exactly the shakeup the season needed.

 

Exactly. You can make an easy case for Mitch or Mary to go on one side and an easy case for Joe or Eva to go on the other. It's so satisfying seeing how they've managed to position themselves so perfectly in the final 8.

I think them two, Shauhin, and Star (strangely enough) are in the best positions right now.

 

OH MY GOD

David Kinne says girlfriend left him after he did not win 'Survivor 48'

 

Man this season is turning out rough. Feel like we’re in for a boring end game.

 

yeah this season sucks

 

So disappointing

 

This season is so bad lol. Should've blindsided Eva with all the advantages she has and get rid of someone who could possibly have the #1 story going into FTC. Joe IS out playing everyone so I get the want to get rid of him but he's not unbeatable. Eva is the real threat. Luke and Camilla........what is y'all doing lol.

David why u so cringeeeee. Makes it even funnier how he did a post exit interview stating that Mary was sooooo clingy and he barely talked to her.



Now go watch Australian Survivor to wipe this taste from your mouth.

 

I really, really like this cast of people but come on man. I was fully on board with Kyle being the deserving winner if he made that move on Joe, but it just went back to an even field for me. Winners make big moves, and I have never seen an entire cast collectively not want to do it.

Also what a weird jury. Cedrick, Chrissy, Star being involved but having zero impact on the game makes things weird.
