Chances of winning ranking: 1. Kenzie (70%) 2. Charlie (20%) 3. Maria (5%) 4. Ben (3%) 5. Liz (2%) Boot order prediction: 1. Kenzie (Ben, Q, Venus, Tiff, Hunter?) 2. Charlie (Maria, Tevin, Soda?) 3. Liz? (0 votes) 4. Ben? (Charlie puts Kenzie and Ben in fire) 5. Maria (consensus vote) Liz and Ben are interchangeable in both rankings though. I do like the theory of Ben breaking a tie for Kenzie at FTC, but I can also see an emotional firemaking challenge between Kenzie and Ben happening
@@survivorspecialists Charlie did have that moment last episode at the reward where they showed pictures of his family and him saying in confessional that his letter reminded him what his family told him : "Play to win" Also when Kenzie called him a dog, we saw Soda's reaction and if felt like she wasn't in agreement with Kenzie's statement. Could that statement come back to bite in the finale at FTC if she makes it there. Also Phil you said Ben would vote for Kenzie if both her and Charlie are in final 3 but him and Charlie spent 26 days together. they had that metallica/taylor swift moment. Ben only met Kenzie at the merge. Would he really vote for her rather than Charlie when they voted pretty much together all season. Let us not forget Ben was in on the Tiff vote and chose not to tell Kenzie
What if - Charlie & Maria team up at 5. Maria wins immunity again… they’ve mentioned it so could happen…. Liz goes. Then Kenzie wins immunity and puts Charlie & Maria in fire? Maria beats Charlie?
5: Maria. I feel like the edit has been setting up for a Charlie vs. Kenzie showdown, whereas up until two weeks ago Maria’s gameplay in the edit had primarily been told through Charlie. (And two weeks ago is when her game in the edit really took a nosedive.) Hell, I think Maria only just passed Bhanu’s confessional count this last episode! 4: Liz. I’ve had her here all week, for the same reasons you guys talked about. I think Charlie wins final 4 immunity and puts Kenzie and Liz in fire. 3: Ben. I think his edit has been setting up for him being the tiebreaker between his two closest allies. 2: Kenzie. Much like this jury will be, I’m actually perfectly split between her and Charlie. One of the reasons I’m putting her here is because the Edgic subreddit has completely ruled Charlie out and put all their eggs in Kenzie’s basket, which is frustrating because I think their edits have been very similar, and Charlie’s has actually leaned more positively than hers. 1: Charlie. I’m also putting him here because I think his social game is almost as good as Kenzie’s, but his strategic game is far and away the best on this cast. He’s one of maybe two players this season who was both actively playing the game and also not getting tunnel-vision about their resume.
Remember final 5 immunity idol it has to be hidden again it was never played it. It's the story line miria win final 5 immunity Charlie finds idol , kensney goes home then Ben wins final immunity and takes Liz and Charlie and miria go to fire Charlie win and final 3 Charlie, Ben, Liz and Charlie wins
That's so unfair!!!! Survivor needs to tighten their rules!!!! Challenges are for individuals, so why did they let Liz help Kenzie?! That is not a team challenge!!!
Just an interesting thought I had while listening - how much more do tribal immunity wins mean now that in the shorter game there isn’t as much time to get to know people in the early jury, meaning its a massive advantage to get most of your tribe to the jury
Charlie is either going to be the Omar/David Wright or the Aubry of this season. I've been leaning the former all season, but I can also see the argument for the latter.
1:09:31 I think, even if Q was right and Tiff was going to keep him over Kenzie, Tiff would lie if Q brought it up. She hates him for blowing up her game and telling people about her idol, so she would say that she was just telling Q what he needed to hear so he wouldn’t play his shot in the dark. She’d also probably point out how he asked to be voted out multiple times in the pre-merge, so why would she keep him around.
I’d be shocked if Kenzie wins an immunity challenge. But I still think she has a shot at winning overall. However it’ll be a battle if she sits next Maria or Charlie
Logically Charlie or Maria should win but the edit only has them talking about their moves in the confessionals. I now believe Kenzie is winning because Tiffany easy vote, Venus wants to vote for a woman not named Maria and Ben for obvious reasons. That’s 3 votes. All she has to do is convince 2 more people.
This might be edit/exit interview spoilers but. We’ve been seeing online that some of the women have said this is a misogynistic tribe, and how Maria is a boys mom basically implying that she only works with men. In a Kenzie, Maria, Ben scenario could it be all the guys Q, Tevin, Hunter, and Charlie vote for Maria, and the women Tiffany, Venus, Soda, and Liz vote for Kenzie and it being Ben’s vote giving Kenzie the win. This could explain some of the bad blood between cast as well if after such a close vote Maria is mad and thinks the other women didn’t back her.
This theory carries a lot of weight! I could absolutely see this happening and causing a lot of bad blood. Kinda mad at myself for not mentioning the misogynistic line. Because that may hint that a man wins or that the men don't vote for any women.
@@survivorspecialists Especially if it’s a final 3 of Kenzie, Charlie, and Liz and the women besides Maria want to vote Kenzie and all the men want to vote Charlie and Maria sides with the men it could also create bad blood potentially.
The only thing i know is Ben is in final 3 because on next time on survivor once upon an island caught the shot of ben on a hill in a certain view that only final 3 get so its guarantee ben is final 3 it's a matter of who's sitting next to him I honestly have no idea but I'm excited to see what happens its gonna be pizza and survivor finale night for me . With that being said heres my rankings 5) Maria 4) liz goes out in fire based off her glasses shot like carson got 3) ben 2) Charlie 1) Kenzie (i agree with you phil tie vote and Ben breaks the tie like ghost Island) but I'm happy with anyone winning. And its the king and queen of the ring ple Saturday. Life is good
@@survivorspecialists he good at catching those shots and knows the final 3 shots really well because of his story videos so I trust him but if my order is correct not necessarily the tie part I will be committed to joining pateron next season doing the fantasy and you can hold me to joining too
@@Jackbauer-nh7ln this could be true. I just trust once upon an island because his story videos really are detail and he knows ending shots really well. Either way I'm excited for Domino's, crab Rangoon dip, ice cream and finale night .
So much fun being on here! Thanks for having me
I'm so team Charlie, I think he has the best all round game

Ben vs. Kenzie in firemaking seems more and more likely the more I think about it. They have the story for it.
I want a Charlie win at this point, but am thinking it could be:
5. Maria
4. Charlie
3. Ben
2. Liz
1. Kenzie
My finale power rankings;
1. Charlie to win
2. Kenzie
3. Liz
4. Ben
5. Maria
Pretty much in line with me, just flopping 1st and 2nd. Wouldn't be shocked at all if Charlie wins.

1:17:39 Maryanne found her second idol on a tree branch. The idols post-merge have generally been pretty easy to find/get.
This is the first final 5 in a while where I don't mind who wins. I'd be fine with Kenzie winning or Charlie winning or even Liz winning.
Would be frustrated that Liz or Ben didn't get a better edit if they win, but overall would be happy with anyone pulling it out.
@@survivorspecialists Liz winning would be hilarious in my opinion. But it’s not going to happen. 😂
No I can guarantee it Liz is not winning
What if -
Charlie & Maria team up at 5. Maria wins immunity again… they’ve mentioned it so could happen…. Liz goes.
Then Kenzie wins immunity and puts Charlie & Maria in fire? Maria beats Charlie?

My dream senario, Charlie takes Maria to the end, Ben wins fire, Charlie wins
An all Siga final 3 would be so interesting since they haven't actually felt like a rock solid alliance to get to that point.
Just an interesting thought I had while listening - how much more do tribal immunity wins mean now that in the shorter game there isn’t as much time to get to know people in the early jury, meaning its a massive advantage to get most of your tribe to the jury
Great point! Even though in this situation, Liz may be at a disadvantage for this!

Any chance of you having a RUclips membership for some of the Patreon videos?
I will have to look more into this. Had never considered it before!
Also Ben is dyslexic according to Survivor wiki may explain why he is the way that he is.
Is that why he spelled Venus as Kenzie? 🤣🤣🤣
😢I wanted Charlie to win all along. Boo hoo
Fyi Kenzie is currently pregnant.
Saw that last week!

3) ben
2) Charlie
1) Kenzie (i agree with you phil tie vote and Ben breaks the tie like ghost Island) but I'm happy with anyone winning. And its the king and queen of the ring ple Saturday. Life is good
Great catch by Once Upon an Island if true. But could see it being from something else!

phil seems very confident... hmmmmm
Thanks, I've been working on that.
I hate a Kenzie win
Too predictable? Or just rather see someone else win?
I'd like to see strategy win, it's been awhile since the best strategist won
@@royjolly4081Probably not the best strategy if you don’t win
@@royjolly4081Dee won last season
@@survivorspecialistsI would much rather see Maria win over anyone else
Welp. Someone is spoiled again.
i had the same thought
@@bigbrotherspoilers9756 he does this every season 🤦🏻♂️

Not spoiled at all. Thanks for listening.
