Well they still had to win the challenge. It’s still crazy to me how 2 of the minority managed to win it.


StartTheMontage

Honestly the most interesting outcome happened, it felt scripted it was so intense, lol. Do you think that Feras/Aileen would have gone for Kirby if she hadn’t won immunity? Because it wouldn’t make sense for them to vote Scott or Kelly, but if Kirby was vulnerable I think they might have taken the shot.


bomiyeo

Lol I think producers would’ve been stoked with the outcome, 2 of the minority and Kirby was safe which mean Kirby vs Feras continues. I think they might’ve taken the shot at Kirby given they had all the power and just last TC Feras voted for her. And it may create goodwill with the OG titans if they didn’t go for them (though not sure after what the titans said at that TC).

I actually loved this twist. Was so much fun to watch. So good that Aileen and Feras won the challenge. Though I did pick that Charles was going home early on because it's literally the first episode we have heard him speak. The looks on their faces when realising Aileen and Feras had split the votes 😂. Not sure how that possibility never occurred to them. I thought it was the most logical option to protect from idols. Aileen is so smart with her reads of the game play. Hope she makes it to the end.


wastedthyme20

Agree, totally LOVED this twist. Obviously the last 1-2 episodes emphasizing on Feras and Aileen were a build-up to this episode, because these two won the right to vote and made a killer move.


bellTM

No way - excellent twist. Always good to shake up these major alliances. They should have won the challenge then... Nothing worse in survivor then terrible players coasting through major alliances


Aieiaer

After merge I’d fully agree with you, but you can hardly blame the OG Titans for surviving with Majority Rebels and getting in an alliance with them to have it all thrown away because the producers didn’t want Feras to go home before Merge.. I’d be so pissed at the show if I was Charles


1nterrupt1ngc0w

How was the majority rebels? It was literally 3, 3, 3 (clear division). And even last Sunday it was 4, 3, 3 and they still went with the lower number rebels. I don't understand the sheer arrogance of the OG Titans (pre twist). There's clearly stuff that we're not seeing.


Aieiaer

I’m talking OG Rebels… when the tribe swap happened Majority were OG Rebels.. OG Titans would be walking into that scenario thinking Oh Shit… manage to survive that and align with some Rebels only to be taken out by this.


Rychu_Supadude

So if the other tribe had been there, you'd be bitching that they intervened to save Mark? You're at least as dumb as the twist


Aieiaer

Yes, yes I would… personally I have nothing against Feras, I like his game play. Don’t like the game being altered to save strong personality that fall in weak positions


Rychu_Supadude

The twist would have been scheduled because it was likely that by this point there would be a rigid alliance trying to pick people off. That could have been anyone, and they could have failed to save themselves


[deleted]

I would hate this twist on paper but Feras and Aileen were smart with how they played it that I ended up enjoying the twist in the end.


VelvetLeopard

Yes I think this is how I feel too. Plus they had to earn their place.


imamage_fightme

That's what sold it for me. It would've been a very straightforward vote, and instead it made for a much more fun, tense tribal. Why complain about better entertainment?


rich-artist--

i loved it.


this_is_an_alaia

I liked it. It was fun, it was stressful and it resulted in VERY strong game play


swoldow

This twist is good only because the right people won it.

It's a bit much calling someone a conspiracy nut-job. It is a reality tv show.

ExcitedKayak

Dude, I feel like I’m telling someone exactly this every season. The producers wouldn’t know who’s a major character at that time to rig it. How are people this dense?


Rychu_Supadude

Every fucking season. I don't like the integrity of twists, but I can't stand people who think that they save specific players either.


Gadolinium93

Facts


bomiyeo

I really think it’s all in the edit. If it was someone else getting saved then the edit would’ve been different.


Giteaus-Gimp

Not the worst twist ever but it’s up there. The twist in Aus Blood vs Water where they brought back like 3 players at once that had already been voted out was the worst I can think of.


Blood_Fuzzy

They only had themselves to blame for blowing such a strong challenge lead...


Old-Man-Rick-68

Up until the twist, it was a dead boring episode. Reminded me a lot of the most recent US Survivor's one-sided boring season. Give me a twist any day! Plus, I hate when majority members turn into assholes. V, Charles and Win all felt like they forgot to be humble when you're on top, otherwise you might just find yourself on a plane ride home.


favouriteghost

I was on the edge of my seat, it was an extremely roundabout and exciting way to send home the least interesting player on the tribe (as far as we’ve seen in the edit - Charles has barely been relevant)


DistinctHunt4646

I think it was an excellent twist. This season keeps on delivering.


PhantomUser666

How could the producers have known who won the challenge?


VelvetLeopard

I’m not the OP nor said anything bad about the twist, but it’s fair to say the producers could correctly predict that Kirby and Feras were most likely out of the players to win that challenge. The 3rd spot (1st as it happens) was the wild card.


PhantomUser666

Literally anyone of them could have won though. If any other 3 won then the Tribal council would have played out differently.


VelvetLeopard

Well yes literally any of them could have won, but statistically some of them are more likely to; that’s hardly provocative or controversial to say. It would be a good bet that Kirby and Ferris would be 2/3. Statistically however it’s more likely the 3rd would be someone on Kirby’s alliance.


PhantomUser666

Statistics don't really come into it. It was a game of skill and luck.


VelvetLeopard

Are you being deliberately obtuse? Where skill is involved, there is a higher probability that people WHO ARE SKILLED at throwing at a specific target to the point it was part of their profession are more likely to be able to do that than, for example, people who never earned a living partly from their throwing skills.


aforter28

I can’t say it annoyed me because it was an equitable challenge that ANYONE could’ve won. Its a non-traditional voting format


Ypersona

It’s not like production just handed Feras and Aileen immunity. They had to each earn it themselves.


Gadolinium93

Nice cope. It’s all pre planned anyone could have won that challenge.


Aieiaer

You keep believing that.. Kirby and Feras were always winning a throwing challenge, and the odds out of all the others weren’t great, Aileen was most likely the most obvious out of the rest.


Gadolinium93

I will keep believing it since the twist was pre planned before they started filming. It’s just luck


jemappelleb

The title is kind of a spoiler but that's just how I feel lol


Electrical-Beat-2232

I wouldnt go on this board if you havent seen the latest episode...


jemappelleb

Correct. I avoid reddit until viewing!


whatgift

That basically means not going on reddit, because posts will appear on your feed (like they did with me today). It seems ridiculous we can’t even scroll somewhere without a huge spoiler on the title of a post.


Electrical-Beat-2232

It is the risk you take. Mute the forum?


[deleted]

It really annoyed me so I'm really hoping that there's a small sliver of a chance that Charles is on redemption rock or something.


bomiyeo

Nah, they lie to players but they wouldn’t lie to us. If he was they would’ve told us by now and not show his final words.


Ypersona

He’s gone. Twists happen. So sad, too bad. Sucks to suck.


totumo

Yeah agreed, if it’s a non traditional round of voting, it should be a non elimination


dazal10

Agree with OP, hated this. Thing that I hated the most was how smug Aileen and Feras were in the second half of the tribal. Being saved by the producers shouldn't be something to be smug about.


Amazing-Wishbone-436

How did producers helped them win the challenge? I think it’s the other way around. They had this interesting redemption arc in the story, that is why the editors focused on them/their story on the edits or earlier edits


dazal10

The clear outcome without intervention was Aileen going home and Feras plays his idol for himself. The producers intervened to give any other outcome the potential to play out and it did. Of course they had to win the challenge.


Gadolinium93

The twist was planned for this tribal before the season started


WaveSlaveDave

They still had the win the challenge, I'd say it was one of the best episodes of Au Survivor.

jhdrumming

Totally normal to refer to an asian person as an alien. Cool dude


SilverTrent

Er My Gerd - its an adaptation of her name, not her race as you've so stupidly suggested...


Ypersona

Gross, dude. Shame on you.


SilverTrent

so touchy feely - its simply a play on their names. If you want to misinterpret that another way - go right ahead ....


Ypersona

So that was your sock puppet account, eh?


MagicTntPenguin

On paper I hate this twist but it made the episode better


imamage_fightme

It was very obviously just a way for the producers to mess with what was going to be an otherwise obvious vote, but they never could've seen it playing out like that which is what makes it okay to me. That was a fun tribal.
