One of many largest shockers in the course of the “Survivor 46” last tribal council got here courtesy of Maria Shrime Gonzalez, the second-to-last jury member who narrowly missed out on becoming a member of the season’s last 5 gamers. Maria and Charlie had an in depth alliance all season, with the 2 joking that he’d be “Uncle Charlie” to her kids after the sport ended — and after she misplaced the penultimate immunity problem in the course of the season finale, she advised Charlie that he was assured to win her vote on the last tribal council. In the end, Maria flipped … and voted for Kenzie, making the vote 5 to three (Ben didn’t obtain any votes). Within the aftermath of the finale, Ben has brazenly stated he would have damaged a tie — which might have occurred had Maria caught to her promise and voted for Charlie to win — in Charlie’s favor, that means that Maria’s flipped vote value Charlie 1,000,000 {dollars}.
Kenzie, to be clear, is additionally deserving of the prize and title, however to see Charlie shot down on this approach was undoubtedly tough to observe. In one of many aftershow’s most painful moments, Maria addresses the elephant within the room, saying she flipped to Kenzie as a result of she noticed “fireplace in her eyes” (in the course of the fire-making problem, which … okay, positive). This feels unbelievably fishy, and it actually looks as if one thing occurred throughout Maria’s transient time at Ponderosa that modified her thoughts. With out cameras there, we’ll by no means know — so “Survivor” ought to steal a gimmick from “Huge Brother” and provides audiences some perception into what the jury is pondering earlier than last tribal council airs.
“Survivor” and “Huge Brother” are each out there to stream on Paramount+.
