With the influx of people, I’ll reintroduce myself: I’ve covered #Survivor / #BigBrother / #RealityTV for >24 years, since Borneo. Wrote about them, created/ran RealityNewsOnline website, now I podcast #WhyXLost on #RHAP + do other podcasts & shows like #TheTraitors, & make short videos about them.
Rewatching #Survivor49: When Sophie voted, she said, “Today I realized what an incredible strategic threat you are in this game. … I will never beat you in a Final Tribal.” This is a bit of a head-scratcher for me. I really like Jawan, but what did he do to give this impression? #Survivor #RHAP

Every prediction I made for this episode was incorrect AND I lost my winner pick! I'm gonna need a few extra days to process that, but Why Jawan Lost will be here late Sunday PM/early Monday AM as @jessicalewis89.bsky.social & I discuss all the decisions that were made!

"In this game, fire represents your life. When your fire's gone, so are you."
Sorry, Rizo. Those are the rules. You're out.
Props to Jawan for the best move in #Survivor history with his epic long con of taking other people's things! #Survivor49

And there goes my pregame winner pick. I'd lost hope he would win a while ago but still hurts to see him go before @jessicalewis89.bsky.social 's winner pick!

Now Savannah is faking out Jawan by making him think he succeeded when she knows full well he didn't. 😈

So Rizo plays a fake Idol just so he can make a speech and see everyone's reaction. I LIKE it!

Savannah making faces in the background while Jawan talks about her while he doesn't know she KNOWS he's talking to her is, well, cinema.

Sophi is very wise, noting they should do whatever Sophie wants to ensure she stays on their side.

Steven gets all seven puzzle pieces over in just two trips. AND he's the rocket scientist with a head start on the puzzle. You'd better win this one, Steven!

I'm surprised the net teeter-tunnel doesn't splash down into a big puddle of mud.

And now I'm beginning to doubt my earlier read. With all this attention Sophie is getting as the decision-maker in the middle, emphasizing that it's a game for a million dollars, etc., I'm feeling the edit tide changing towards HER.

"This is a game for a million dollars. Be ruthless. Be strategic. And make nice when you're a millionaire back home."
VERY good advice from Sophie.

I still feel like they're gonna vote out Kristina -- even after THIS. Survivor is a vicious game.
