From seeing Eric and Cristian’s overconfident attitude and smiles at the start of tribal to seeing them cry over having to make that choice…man was that satisfying to watch!

You don’t know how long I’ve waited to see a bold ahh move like this and by Kilby no less. What a play the build up with the girl giving them 2 extra votes just an insane episode. Great episode definitely the best one yet I am satisfied

Addiction recovery can be difficult to open up about, Alexis’ story is an important one for ppl to hear.

For anyone else who was moved by her story, 🫶

Respect went up for Kilby, and down for Sharonda, Cristian, and Eric.

Kilby proved himself as an ultimate ally who is willing to make a Rick Devens-esque move. I’m also a Lewis fan so I am so happy he was willing to make that move. I wasn’t too much of a fan of Kilby initially but he really became more likable instantly with that.

I understand Sharonda, Cristian, and Eric for not wanting to draw rocks, but I think their willingness to just give up on Linnea was a potential bad look for the three of them and flaky, kind of giving group mentality, something the jury could throw against any of them down the line.

I was also unaware of what those three were trying to prove when yelling at Lewis for wanting Kilby to draw rocks. Lewis argued that he said he’d do the same for Kilby, and they fired back saying that he’s not in that situation and it doesn’t matter…when clearly it does matter because that’s just the situation they’re in and the agreement they made. Which especially looks bad when they just turn on their ally immediately. Just goes to show they weren’t willing to put their lives on the line for their ally.

I’m not breaking any new ground by saying “wow, DAE think Season 51 is really good??” but I really think that it can’t be reiterated enough. For the first time in half a decade, it feels like we’re back to the elements that made me fall in love with this show in the first place.

Actual blindsides. Giving players the agency to make the game interesting. We got MORE votes instead of LESS votes, and we get a historic tribal as a result. It feels like this Season has tapped into the core, prime, raw emotion of the game. Hearing “you’re not sorry, Kilby” coming from an embittered, blindsided player after forcing the rest of the tribe’s hand in a “we don’t want to go to rocks” deadlock?

I LOVE SURVIVOR

Kilby

For my winner pick to go home and INSANE chain reaction occurred.

1. Carter gets picked for the tribal Raid
   
2. Carter goes to the beach without going for the Oar
   
3. Carter leaves his bag in the open for Lewis to sneak
   
4. Brady finds the extra vote and gives it to Maggie
   
5. Carter stays on the tribe
   
6. Lewis & Carter cause a 6-5 vote to save Kilby
   
7. Lewis & Kilby swap screwed
   
8. Maggie of all people goes on reward and gets an extra vote
   
9. Crazy enough to give them BOTH the extra votes. Not only that the extra vote that LEWIS exposed
   
10. They go 4-4 and Kilby stays deadlocked
    
11. My Goat gets sniped in the most unlucky insane entertaining way possible

51 > any new era season

Kilby at tribal knowing OG Savu would have to either go to rocks or vote out Linnea

"You are putting your game on the line for Lewis and we were going to work with you!" .. ok then that meant you would be ok with a savu member going.. so why not right now?

I know they obviously were trying to guilt trip Kilby, but I just wish they were smarter about it.

If I was kilby then I could have been like: if you are willing to work with me, then name who you would vote off next?

Maggie pulled up to the island and said, “ I want this person post commercial break.” They agree and she just leaves, and then by some miracle they actually pull it off. What a legendary move

For some reason, Sharonda went hard after Lewis despite the fact that she would've gone home as well had he been voted out, because she's linked to him via the Blood Ring. She really dodged a bullet there. Hopefully once they get the Blood Ring idol, she'll realize her mistake.

Kilby big respect to him! I’m glad he stood by Lewis side. I thought it was going to be a rock draw and Cristian was going home because of Hes edit but sadly that wasn’t the case tonight. Sorry it had to be Linnea going but I like Lewis more so I’m happy Lewis survived and safe.

Is this a record for the most amount of times someone’s name got misspelled? From Lanaya to Lanayah and everything in between. This belongs in r/tragedeigh
