After the #Survivor49 tribe swap, should New Kele have thrown the challenge so original Hina members Matt and Jason would be safe? My thoughts on @loganleger.bsky.social’s question in a TikTok: www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8A4GTe5/

Thank you. That means a lot as it's a question I have been pondering a lot over the past few weeks. If you have the time, I encourage you to listen to Shannon and Noonan's podcast. They also discuss this idea at length and bring some super interesting insights.

I guess the "in theory" is most important. We as the audience know who appears to be safe, but it would be a massive risk to take as a contestant. I just feel like if you feel in control, I would rather create my own risk than leave it to a random tribe swap

I figured as much. Plus he doesn't have the knowledge of the audience that Jawan is one annoying thing away from carving his tombstone

Thanks. I'll have a look. I heard the rumours/confirmations thriugh Survivor discourse, but a good sociologist like myself likes to get to the root of the information 😄

Plus I feel Jason is a better shield because of his puzzle skills and you know where he stands

Not a bad thing, but I feel Savannah just thinks/believes what she wants, like Jawan getting upset with his fire, or Matt being a psychopath because he did finance. She has a way of manipulating conversation in a way that makes the ordinary/mundane seem insane

It benefits the majority 4 on a tribe who lose on purpose, but can then preserve their majority and avoid getting swapped screwed like Matt, Brando, etc. Even last season if it weren't for an idol Kyle would have been a goner.

I brought up this point on Shannon's (Guss) podcast with Noonan. What are your thoughts on gaming the swap and throwing a challenge to avoid triggering one? For instance, I'm sure Matt would have wished losing pre-swap and stay in his majority.

Would a better pitch had been to throw Jawan under the bus from the journey? Obviously as the audience we know he's on the bottom...but convince Uli to weaken their own before a merge could be a decent argument if Matt reads that Jawan is the bottom of Uli 🤔

Any block puzzle at this point requires some kind of martial art chop of some kind

Sage will have now gained a much larger fandom I feel after the past week 😆

Nobody needed to know that, but now I'm rooting for her because... Shannon 😉 😂

If pre-season painted her as "interesting", she certainly hasn't done herself any favors this past week. Where did people find this info before it spread on Survivor Twitter/Bluesky?

Or just go to the red and yellow beaches as it would make most common sense

He doesn't get it gahhhhh he's annoying 🙄

It's not even worth contemplating just because the game design is so broken

And also, what happens if everyone plays SITD or it's a 1-1-1 vote? Seriously...this format is so broken it's infuriating. Why can't Jeff Probst listen 😒

In one episode...there goes all of my beloved Canadian representation 🇨🇦

Find it the next day. It's nit like he has to worry of players plotting behind his back as he searches

Play it and look for it the next day like Sophi and Jeremiah are planning

Literally none of the 3 tribes is enjoying this. Probst really doesn't get it 😒

Classic build up a character so we feel sad when they are eliminated

This is why Jeff Probst annoys me. He doesn't get it. Give them their supplies damn it 😤

Now he can come back for Game Changers 2 as Jake the Snake 🐍

I've never had good feelings from Sage from the pre-season. Nothing against her but this episode is showing her lack of social capital

Shocking given the murmurs I heard on social media. There must be some real bad contestants from the shows past history 🤔

Rats. With all the online chatter, I wanted to know if it was one of the worst seasons ever 😆

Now that the season is over, how was it on a 1 to 10? Where would it rank compared to other BB seasons?
