Sol...can I have your jacket? Sol?

I love that you were able to do a deep dive into this data. I never connected that Love votes and screen time were so closely connected!

@robsfactchecker.bsky.social was kind enough to share his polling data with me to test a couple of hypotheses:

1. A player gets more 'Love' with more confessionals and
2. Star is the most loved player, accounting for confessionals

But there was one other thing that stood out 🧵

Kristina got no confessionals for the second week in a row!😤 She is the 11th New Era player to have zeroes back-to-back and only the 5th to experience it in the first 3 episodes. The others were Erika, Heather, and Danny in S41 and Rocksroy in S42. #Survivor

Episode 2 confessional chart for #Survivor 49. Hina’s 7 confessionals is the record for the fewest confessionals from a pre-swap tribe in the 90-minute episode era (S45-present).

Sophi had the most confessionals in episode 3 (10) but Alex remains the season leader with 27 confessionals. #Survivor #Survivor49

When a tribe enters the second immunity challenge after never having flint, they are 0/3! Lulu, Yanu, and Kele all had this fate.

In S41-S44 all tribes had flint. In S47 and S48 the tribe that didn't have flint in the premiere (Lavo & Civa), won it back by not losing the first Immunity Challenge.

Poor Jason and Kristina got zero confessionals this week. 😤 They join Genevieve as the only 3 players in the 90-minute episode era (S45 to present) to not get a confessional in one of the first two episodes.

Every season I attempt to predict the #Survivor boot order. Last season I had Kyle winning (my first correct pick in a long time) but didn't get a lot else right. Here's how I think S49 will play out:
