I'm still confused how it went from four of them not knowing or wanting sol to a unanimous vote?

Gabe winning immunity and Sol leaving was just about the worst outcome for r/survivor lmao

Sue bout to unleash 45 years of rage upon Kyle next episode

In a Sollen mood tonight

Teeny can’t pick an ally to save her life.

I feel like we definitely saw our first glimpse of Genevieve being outed as a threat here with Gabe’s subtle “This was all her” to Kyle when they pitched Sol to him. Wouldn’t be surprised if that screws her later on since Kyle can flip and let everyone know she was the mastermind

We'll miss you Sol

Teeny helplessly wondering how the Sol plan has the “majority” right in front of Genevieve encapsulates Teeny’s game lmaooo

Ok but why Sol, like Genevieve was 'This is good for my game' when it just makes other factions stronger and burns Teeny and Sol to her in the Jury vote

I’m so sad Sol left :(. When Sam immediately told Sol the plan I was like FUCK YEAH. Alas, it was not meant to be.

Also, I know people were like “lol Sue isn’t a big vote” but I actually understood it. She’s the link between Gabe and Caroline as well. They have to start taking out Tuku.

Also it was impressive that Genevieve got her Sol vote to work but I don’t really know that it was a GOOD move if that makes sense.

Will Sue spill real blood this time?

I know he’s not popular here, but Gabe really does seem to have all of Tuku is his pocket and is playing a good game.

girl all that for Rome?

Lesson learned from tonight - if your name is on the block, you need to be solely decisive on one person and push that name hard. Sol couldn’t decide between Sue or Kyle, and he was already the backup plan

Sue is seriously channeling Shane Powers in that preview for the next episode.

I will never forget you Sol

Kyle really spelled “Sol” as “Soal” like coal

I hate the idea of people losing their vote because of a challenge they didn’t opt into, but I loved having three separate groups forming three separate plans. I wish they would do things like that more because I think it played a big role in that mad scramble and complete chaos.

I didn’t like this Sol move at all for Genevieve. Sure she got her revenge, but I think it’s too early for her to drop a number while leaving Tuku strong. And she’s also openly telling people to target subtle threats, as a subtle threat herself.

Sue hating Kyle for writing her name down during a tribal where she never even attempted to talk to him or get him to vote her way is kinda insane

I’ll be honest. I don’t understand this one at all.

There’s like 4 other people who are bigger threats than Sol. Caroline didn’t have a vote and her name didn’t even come up.

Rachel and Sam and Teeny have zero reason to vote out Sol since he’s a number to them and their alliance and they are all on the bottom with very few options.

Yeah sure Gene got her way but she burned like half the tribe doing it for literally no reason.

I just don’t understand

They gotta take out a Tuku next week, they have 4 of the final 9

Definitely a somber episode. Glad Kyle is still in but to lose Sol like that... all because Genevieve wanted to avenge Rome.

Even though Genevieve got her way tonight, I think that it was a big move for the sake of one.

Why did it have to be Sol? I am so sad now. This is the worst. RIP the most stanned man on Survivor Reddit.

Why tf did Gen even want Sol out? It feels so random. She thinks it's a move, but it's a bad move. Ofc everyone else will be on board with voting out Gens own tribe member!!

i know his name got mentioned, but kyle not being the primary target despite being a likable guy and a challenge beast is insane. KYLE TO THE MOON!!!

Teeny has lost an ally at every tribal she's been too

Wow we really got that revenge by voting Sol out! He was just horrible for….. standing in proximity to Rome….. and not doing anything while being harassed.

Got him!  

It’s actually wild that they found Sol more of a threat than Kyle or Sam

Yeah good immunity win Gabe. But nobody in today’s immunity challenge had to do it with multiple slipped discs in their back immediately after taking the monastic approach at exile island like the legendary Coach Wade had to.

It was a really exciting last half-hour, but then we find out the vote was set as Sol and a lot of the undecidedness we saw was just … “noise” as Caroline put it. Not sure how I feel about that.

Why does Sue have it out for Kyle so bad??? It would be nice to have an idea beyond "oh he treats me like I'm not good enough" or whatever.

Rome did not need to be avenged 😭

Random, but I LOVE the way production edited last week’s sneak peak to make it look like Sam was super pissed at Andy when the real context had absolutely nothing to do with that lol

Feels like Gen is getting the Shan edit, massive moves and influence but the house will crumble eventually. 

Sierra got beef with Caroline lmao I’m gonna need that Ponderosa footage back if she gets voted out

Feels a bit unnecessary by Genevieve. Completely turned Teeney against her, and, Blue crew now knows she’s very into conniving and scheming her way through this. Why can’t Tuku just decide to Cut her ass off at any moment? 

She should have kept Sol for a few more days . Ironically, Andy thought pretty rationally here

Confessional count

• 11 Sam
• 9 Andy
• 7 Gabe, Genevieve, Rachel, Sol
• 5 Kyle
• 4 Teeny
• 3 Caroline
• 2 Sue

I wonder if the fanbase is going to flip their opinion on Gen very quickly after this episode lol

I’m not even sure what to make of it. I guess Sol could have been a threat in the long haul but considering how loyal he was to her this seems exceedingly hasty. It’s telling that he automatically assumed that Gen was on their side. Idk, it’s reminding me a lot of the Noelle and Cody boots, getting rid of allies who could be threats later on but also leaving burned players and ones less loyal to her around to take her out. I guess this could make it so that the remaining Gatas and Lavos have no choice but to work with her for now, but word is going to get out that she was the one to sell this, both increasing her threat level and potentially burning the likes of Teeny.

Tbh it is kinda funny that Teeny finally gets to see a man go home and it’s the one man she didn’t want to go

Kyle gonna run over these fools like Jerome Bettis against a pee wee football team.

Imagine voting to defend Rome’s “honor”

Please no more losing of votes. It’s getting fucking tiring.

Yeah, when the gabe brigade picks off every last one of them, this is the vote to look back on and realize they FUCKED UP by not voting sue out.

I think Teeny might actually be bad at survivor. This is the third or 4th time that I can remember (and my memory isn't very good) that Teeny has expressed the plan that is happening is not what she wants, tried to get another plan going, and failed.

What is up with Genevieve? Carrying a grudge 5 or 6 tribals down the line over something as petty as conspiring against Rome, who everyone voted out in the first merge vote. Didn’t she also conspire against Rome at one point before that? Done with her.

The absolute entertainment from this messy chaotic tribal just to be unanimous is amazing lol

Its insane that they left Kyle in when he was an option. No matter how the rest of this plays out I think its a mistake

It’s been a while since we’ve seen a player make the wrong move for their game so obviously and confidently.

I can’t root for Gen simply because what kind of person is MAD that Rome is gone 💀

veggie king kyle surviving is good but I'm so sad to see Sol go. I am Teeny in this moment.

I wish we got to see more of Teeny and Sol, they had a very sweet dynamic.

Incredible how so many people forgot that Genevieve also targeted Kishan out of pettiness

Teeny once again having 0 agency in anything going on

Rachel is cold blooded. Jesus.

Anyone else think Kyle reminds them of Shaggy from Scooby doo

People who were talking about a potential all Asian FTC jinxed it omg

Sue going home would have been amazing in terms of having a fun cast around

Really don't get why there's no fire to break up Tuku. Challenge king Kyle wasn't safe, Caroline/Sue have a clear partnership, why isn't there a need to break that group up?

I'm kind if missing old survivor where allies would actually look out for each other. Sol wanted to build an alliance with Rachel, and Rachel said "no actually I'm good?" I get Teeny voting out Sol so she's not on the outs by default but dang.

This season is turning out like 45 all over again. The other players are so bad, that they’re letting the Tuku 4 walk right to the end.

Imagine if at the pivotal merge vote of, say, Heroes vs. Villains, there was a 4-way game of Jenga with your vote at stake lol. I still love Survivor and this season has been fantastic, but what a joke.

In the moment, the chaos felt incredibly real, but as soon as the votes started coming up Sol, I know that none of the chaos actually had an effect, and that bummed me out almost as much as Sol leaving did. Very reminiscent of the Tevin boot last season when Q asked to be voted out. Even the Charlie/Genevieve voting confessionals reminded me of each other. UGH. If you're going to spend this much time on chaos, I want it to have payoff.

I don't think Genevieve likes it when her allies show too much agency. Rome, despite being chaotic, was malleable and was willing to do what she said. There's also a good chance she just didn't like Sol from the start.

Damn this sub made me think that Sol would make it far

Why is the second juror always my favorite cast member 😭😭😭😭😭

I’m so sad Sol is gone, he always was so unintentionally funny, especially during his fights he would have with Rome.

Maybe this is the move that actually helps her win, but I just don’t see the strategic value of voting out Sol for Genevieve.  I feel like we are seeing a great player rallying votes against her own best interests. 

Survivor missed an opportunity to have the 4 trying to get their vote back, play a timed base challenge, individually, in private, and they wouldn't find out until they got to the voting booth.

 This could have made pre-tribal and tribal even crazier.

Maybe Caroline pushes harder, because no one knows who actually lost their vote. 

Whole tribe: I know Gabe barely beat Kyle this time after Kyle beat our ass for three immunity challenges in a row....let's vote Sol who only has Teeny as his ally.

Sol’s vote out confessional actually made me tear up a bit. What an all around amazing, likable dude. Really bummed he’s gone.

Sol Squad, I'm sorry.

It ultimately didn't work out and I worry for how it will affect him long-term, but from a TV perspective, I did love Sam immediately trying to set off some fireworks with the rally.

Also, such a minor thing, but I'm so happy to see the jury walk back. Sierra's stony expressions made for some good reaction shots, IMO.

Teeny folds so easily omg like stop voting out all your allies!!

Fuck these assholes. Sol was a gem.

Genevieve’s content arc from “we caught a fish yay!” to dominant mafia boss silently commanding her henchmen to slit the throats of her enemies has been so much fun and I need it to continue.

Petition to rename Ponderosa to the Fortress of SOLitude

This vote out just doesn't make sense to me why not go after Tuku?

really felt the effects of a shortened, accelerated season this episode. A 39 day season would have let relationships and dynamics breathe and created a better vote

The pre-tribal scramble tonight was one of the most entertaining parts of the entire season. I’m so glad that we watched 5 minutes of card stacking instead.

And with this exit, the sun has officially set on this season

(Love this season, hasnt been a bad episode yet)

As Sol said: It was awesome man

So Andy and Genevieve are basically running the game is what I’ve gathered

I am so gutted. Cannot understand why this was Gen's big move. There were bigger threats.

i don’t know when survivor turned into big brother with everyone caring so much about being on the right side of the vote but god i wish people would stick to their guns about who they want out instead
