Tonight's episode is the finale of S49 and it's titled "A Fever Dream."
***Tweet from Mike Bloom about the break after hour one.***
Those of you recording tonight's #Survivor49 in the Eastern and Central
time zones may want to check your settings. Some local listings are now showing two separate instances before or after the episode stops down
for Trump's speech.
https://x.com/AMikeBloomType/status/2001340362468769956
If this correct, the break is 22 minutes which seems very short.
Global's also split the finale into two parts with Part 2 starting at
9:22PM ET for viewers in ET and CT time zones. I'm going to gamble and
watch now praying the 22 minute figure is correct.
More later.

Some quick comments for now. The finale did not play out the way I
thought it would at all.
--Savannah wins F5 Immunity and takes Sage on The Sanctuary reward.
--Kristina voted out at F5 because she's good at making fire. I believe
Rizo said he had made fire twice compared to no times for Savannah and Sophi.
--Sophi makes an amazing comeback in the F4 IC and punches her ticket to
F3. Then in a smart but very unexpected move, she tells the other three she's not going to talk to them and advises that they practice making fire.
--Sophi then surprised me again by taking Sage to F3 and putting Rizo up against Savannah in fire. Rizo's cursed in anything challenge related so
he of course lost fire to Savannah. She actually did a pretty good job.
--I thought Sophi did great at FTC. I don't think she blew any of the questions asked of her. Kristina nailed Savannah on knowing family
members. We also found out Sage is ex-military and was(is?) an
intelligence analyst.
--Sophie based on game which was expected.
--First all female F3 (F2?) since S29 according to Savannah (Sophi?).
--Kim Spradlin's name came up a few times.
--Savannah won 5rCo2rCo1. Jawan voted for Sage, and MC and Kristina voted for Sophi.
--Rizo was impressive at the After Show and that probably helped him get
a ticket to S50. He also embarrassed Sophie with his exit at F4.
--What was up with Sage at the After Show. Is this what she was
referencing in her message from yesterday?
Overall, I liked the finale and the season a lot.
I was not impressed with the S50 preview. Is Mr. Beast going to be part
of the season?

Part of it went as I expected.-a I expected Savannah to win F5 immunity
and I expected Savannah to win the season, both of which happened.-a I
also expected Savannah to be put to fire if she lost F4 immunity, which happened.
i did NOT expect Sophi to win F4 immunity.-a And while I was hoping to
Sage make it to F3, I never really expected that to happen.-a I thought
for sure Kristina would be dragged to the finals as a zero-vote 3rd placer.
--Savannah wins F5 Immunity and takes Sage on The Sanctuary reward.
--Kristina voted out at F5 because she's good at making fire. I
believe Rizo said he had made fire twice compared to no times for
Savannah and Sophi.
This was a big surprise to me.-a As good as Savannah was in challenges
and as good as Rizo was at general game strategy, I was shocked that
neither was really any good at fire.-a Doesn't everybody practice that nowadays before going on the show?
--Sophi makes an amazing comeback in the F4 IC and punches her ticket
to F3. Then in a smart but very unexpected move, she tells the other
three she's not going to talk to them and advises that they practice
making fire.
Once Sophi won immunity, I knew she would put Savannah against Rizo in fire.-a That's what I would have done because I would have assumed Rizo would know how to make a fire.-a His ineptitude at this was amazing.
--Sophi then surprised me again by taking Sage to F3 and putting Rizo
up against Savannah in fire. Rizo's cursed in anything challenge
related so he of course lost fire to Savannah. She actually did a
pretty good job.
--I thought Sophi did great at FTC. I don't think she blew any of the
questions asked of her. Kristina nailed Savannah on knowing family
members. We also found out Sage is ex-military and was(is?) an
intelligence analyst.
I didn't think Sophi did that great at the final TC.-a I was actually surprised she got two votes.-a My prediction at the end of that final TC
but before the vote was that Savannah would win 4-3-1 with Soph getting
the one vote probably from Alex.
--Sophie based on game which was expected.
--First all female F3 (F2?) since S29 according to Savannah (Sophi?).
I remember that S29 F3.-a It was Natalie the twinnie and then Missy and Jaclyn.-a The previous time was on One World (S24) which was the men vs. women season where Kim, Chelsea and Sabrina were the final three.-a That season also had what I think was the only all-female final five in the show's history.
--Kim Spradlin's name came up a few times.
--Savannah won 5rCo2rCo1. Jawan voted for Sage, and MC and Kristina voted >> for Sophi.
Definitely didn't see MC and Kristina voting for Sophi.-a I thought they would vote for Sage.

I did too.-a I think it may be the best season of the New Era.
I was not impressed with the S50 preview. Is Mr. Beast going to be
part of the season?
No idea what that was. I did find it interesting that Savannah and Rizo
were both shown in the previews with no fanfare or voice-over confirming their inclusion on S50. I would have thought there would have been some mention of that. I was also frankly surprised at how old some of the
players looked.-a There were a couple of people I honestly didn't
recognize at first.

How was Sophi bad at TC? I don't recall her stumbling like Savannah did

Savannah winning the game was obvious from early on in the season.
Going into the finale I thought either she or Rizo would win F5
immunity. When Sophi got the advantage I thought we might be
blindsided, but that advantage was rather lame. Savannah's also good

i did NOT expect Sophi to win F4 immunity.-a And while I was hoping to
Sage make it to F3, I never really expected that to happen.-a I
thought for sure Kristina would be dragged to the finals as a zero-
vote 3rd placer.
Same here. If we knew Kristina could make fire I would have thought
differently about her being dragged to the end.
I wonder why they didn't show Kristina making fire a few more times
during the season so it wouldn't be such an abrupt reveal later?
And did you notice it was Savannah who pushed the idea of voting
Kristina out at F5 when Rizo and Sophi seemed more inclined to vote out Sage?-a We think of Savannah as the challenge beast, but this was a
really key strategic move that she sort of bullied her alliance to go with,
--Savannah wins F5 Immunity and takes Sage on The Sanctuary reward.
--Kristina voted out at F5 because she's good at making fire. I
believe Rizo said he had made fire twice compared to no times for
Savannah and Sophi.
This was a big surprise to me.-a As good as Savannah was in challenges

Most do practice making fire. Rizo didn't appear to practice anything.
I was surprised Savannah didn't practice.
In a way, it just adds to her performance that she was able to figure
out a way to win at this.
According to Rizo, he made fire twice at camp and Savannah never did--Sophi makes an amazing comeback in the F4 IC and punches her
ticket to F3. Then in a smart but very unexpected move, she tells
the other three she's not going to talk to them and advises that
they practice making fire.
Once Sophi won immunity, I knew she would put Savannah against Rizo
in fire.-a That's what I would have done because I would have assumed

so. Sophi's logic was correct other than for not factoring in that
Rizo sucks at challenges and Savannah always seems to find a way to win.
--Sophi then surprised me again by taking Sage to F3 and putting
Rizo up against Savannah in fire. Rizo's cursed in anything

--I thought Sophi did great at FTC. I don't think she blew any of

I didn't think Sophi did that great at the final TC.-a I was actually

getting the one vote probably from Alex.
How was Sophi bad at TC? I don't recall her stumbling like Savannah
did on Kristina's question. I was definitely not surprised that MC and
Kristina did not vote for Savannah. MC voting for Sophi made no sense
to me. Were they ever close?
It's not that Sophi was bad - it was that she had to do a lot more to overcome the clear lead Savannah had with the jury.-a All she mostly did
was talk about her social skills and how she had survived through so
many tribal councils, but all that did was highlight that she was never
a threat to anyone.-a I like Sophi, but I just didn't find her to be persuasive.
I also found it interesting that both Sage and Savannah mentioned their prior professions for seemingly the first time with no apparent impact. Savannah had one line about being a news reporter and there was no
further comment.-a I wonder if by that point everyone knew about it or if there was further discussion that was edited out.
And Sage's extended mention of her military background seemingly landed
with a thud.-a Had we heard about any of that before?-a Her saying/
claiming she was an intelligence officer evoked some memories of Phillip Sheppard.-a I wonder if people jut didn't take it seriously?
--Sophie based on game which was expected.
--First all female F3 (F2?) since S29 according to Savannah (Sophi?).
I remember that S29 F3.-a It was Natalie the twinnie and then Missy

For me S47 is still the best. S45 onward have been good seasons as far
as I'm concerned with the odd bump here and there.
I liked S47 too, but maybe it's just recency bias that caused this
season to engage me a bit more for some reason.
I was not impressed with the S50 preview. Is Mr. Beast going to be

No idea what that was. I did find it interesting that Savannah and

You weren't the only one who didn't recognize some of them. I thought
it was interesting that the first face we saw was Colby's. Cirie got
the same old promo. I think Rizo and Savannah got no fanfare because
it's so widely known that they played in S50.
But it's not widely known among casual viewers, which represent the overwhelming majority of the audience.-a The show had not officially announced them as members of the cast, and even many podcasters like Rob
and Mike Bloom were clearly told not to mention it.-a I just found it strange that there was no official mention at all about their inclusion.
Yeah, the players definitely looked much older (other than maybe Mike
White who looked old the first time).-a I was almost thinking they should call it Survivor 50 - Geriatric Edition.-a This has to be the oldest
average cast age of any season, and I wonder if this will cause the loss
of any younger casual viewers as the season progresses?
Did you notice how they included a line from Savannah about how Rizo
would probably come back and could be a winner next time? Foreshadowing, maybe?

How was Sophi bad at TC? I don't recall her stumbling like Savannah
did on Kristina's question. I was definitely not surprised that MC
and Kristina did not vote for Savannah. MC voting for Sophi made no
sense to me. Were they ever close?
It's not that Sophi was bad - it was that she had to do a lot more to
overcome the clear lead Savannah had with the jury.-a All she mostly
did was talk about her social skills and how she had survived through
so many tribal councils, but all that did was highlight that she was
never a threat to anyone.-a I like Sophi, but I just didn't find her to
be persuasive.
Sophi needed to emphasize a lot more how she survived a tribe that got decimated and then used her social game to link up with a strong pair
where she was an equal contributor. Saying Rizo and Savannah adopted her really weakened her case. She was truthful in what she said but never
made a strong enough case that they needed her to get to the end.
I also found it interesting that both Sage and Savannah mentioned
their prior professions for seemingly the first time with no apparent
impact. Savannah had one line about being a news reporter and there
was no further comment.-a I wonder if by that point everyone knew about
it or if there was further discussion that was edited out.

Hard to say about Savannah, but you're right that no one seemed to care about either of their stories.
And Sage's extended mention of her military background seemingly
landed with a thud.-a Had we heard about any of that before?-a Her
saying/ claiming she was an intelligence officer evoked some memories

Sage's info was new. To me it came across as random info and not related
to the game.

him get a ticket to S50. He also embarrassed Sophie with his exit
at F4.
--What was up with Sage at the After Show. Is this what she was
referencing in her message from yesterday?
That was my thought.
Overall, I liked the finale and the season a lot.
I did too.-a I think it may be the best season of the New Era.
For me S47 is still the best. S45 onward have been good seasons as
far as I'm concerned with the odd bump here and there.
I liked S47 too, but maybe it's just recency bias that caused this
season to engage me a bit more for some reason.
Could be. For me, S47 had a lot of memorable storylines and a fairly
likable cast with the odd exception.
I was not impressed with the S50 preview. Is Mr. Beast going to be
part of the season?
No idea what that was. I did find it interesting that Savannah and
Rizo were both shown in the previews with no fanfare or voice-over
confirming their inclusion on S50. I would have thought there would
have been some mention of that. I was also frankly surprised at how
old some of the players looked.-a There were a couple of people I
honestly didn't recognize at first.
You weren't the only one who didn't recognize some of them. I thought
it was interesting that the first face we saw was Colby's. Cirie got
the same old promo. I think Rizo and Savannah got no fanfare because
it's so widely known that they played in S50.
But it's not widely known among casual viewers, which represent the
overwhelming majority of the audience.-a The show had not officially
announced them as members of the cast, and even many podcasters like
Rob and Mike Bloom were clearly told not to mention it.-a I just found
it strange that there was no official mention at all about their
inclusion.
Casual viewers probably didn't know unless they have a presence on SM.
Yeah, the players definitely looked much older (other than maybe Mike
White who looked old the first time).-a I was almost thinking they
should call it Survivor 50 - Geriatric Edition.-a This has to be the
oldest average cast age of any season, and I wonder if this will cause
the loss of any younger casual viewers as the season progresses?
I had to do a double take when it came to Coach. At least I think that
was Coach. Other than Rizo and Savannah, did they show any other New Era players?
Did you notice how they included a line from Savannah about how Rizo
would probably come back and could be a winner next time?
Foreshadowing, maybe?
I noticed that. She got Rizo on S50. Did you read the Mike Bloom article
I posted that talks about how they got selected? It was a very last
minute thing. They were asked the morning after FTC over a Zoom call if
they wanted to do S50. I wonder what the backup plan was if one or both
of them had said "no"?

Here's what I think.-a I think they already had the roster of 24 players selected, divided 50-50 by male-female and 50-50 by New Era - Old Era.
They also likely had three previous winners selected, all from the new
era and with one prior winner assigned to each of the three tribes.-a We know two of those were Kyle and Dee.-a But they also had an idea of who
the lowest ranked players from the New Era group were in case they found
a player or two from S49 they wanted for the cast.
When they saw how good Savannah and Rizo turned out to be, they
displaced two previous new era players, one male and one female, and the female was a likely prior winner.-a I have no idea of who they removed
from the list, but I think the female was likely Rachel, who had a
somewhat similar archetype to Savannah.-a Otherwise, it could have been Maryanne.
As to who Rizo replaced, I have no idea.-a Sam maybe?-a Sol?-a Andy? Your guess on that one is as good as mine.

It's too bad we have no idea how Sage was at making fires. Who was

Cirie got the same old promo. I think Rizo and Savannah got no
fanfare because it's so widely known that they played in S50.
But it's not widely known among casual viewers, which represent the
overwhelming majority of the audience.-a The show had not officially
announced them as members of the cast, and even many podcasters like
Rob and Mike Bloom were clearly told not to mention it.-a I just
found it strange that there was no official mention at all about
their inclusion.
Casual viewers probably didn't know unless they have a presence on SM.
Yeah, the players definitely looked much older (other than maybe
Mike White who looked old the first time).-a I was almost thinking
they should call it Survivor 50 - Geriatric Edition.-a This has to be >>>> the oldest average cast age of any season, and I wonder if this will
cause the loss of any younger casual viewers as the season progresses?
I had to do a double take when it came to Coach. At least I think
that was Coach. Other than Rizo and Savannah, did they show any other
New Era players?
Did you notice how they included a line from Savannah about how Rizo
would probably come back and could be a winner next time?
Foreshadowing, maybe?
I noticed that. She got Rizo on S50. Did you read the Mike Bloom
article I posted that talks about how they got selected? It was a
very last minute thing. They were asked the morning after FTC over a
Zoom call if they wanted to do S50. I wonder what the backup plan was
if one or both of them had said "no"?
Here's what I think.-a I think they already had the roster of 24
players selected, divided 50-50 by male-female and 50-50 by New Era -
Old Era. They also likely had three previous winners selected, all
from the new era and with one prior winner assigned to each of the
three tribes.-a We know two of those were Kyle and Dee.-a But they also
had an idea of who the lowest ranked players from the New Era group
were in case they found a player or two from S49 they wanted for the
cast.
When they saw how good Savannah and Rizo turned out to be, they
displaced two previous new era players, one male and one female, and
the female was a likely prior winner.-a I have no idea of who they
removed from the list, but I think the female was likely Rachel, who
had a somewhat similar archetype to Savannah.-a Otherwise, it could
have been Maryanne.
More than likely Maryanne as she was apparently a very last minute cut.
I've never seen anything to suggest that Rachel was even asked. If she
was asked it must have been very early on and she said no. I think
that's why Jeff was okay with her doing the podcast for S48.
As to who Rizo replaced, I have no idea.-a Sam maybe?-a Sol?-a Andy? Your >> guess on that one is as good as mine.
Andy was cut about a month before they finalized the cast so I doubt it
was him. Like Rachel, I don't think Sam as asked and if he was, he said
no. Jesse?

Sounds like she did pretty good at FTC. Sophi: "Sav turned to me ... and told me 'You just won this game.'" She also says that Nate, Alex, and
Steven told her they were 50/50.

that Savannah won the jury by a convincing 5-2-1 margin and I don't
think it's fair to try to minimize or marginalize that.
I would also discount Sav's comment that you just won the game because I think she was trying to be nice and not too cocky. I think she knew she
had the game won.
There's no doubt Sophi played a decent social games, did a good job surviving more tribals than anyone else and had one key immunity win
near the end of the season.-a But that wasn't enough to overcome what was really a dominant performance by Savannah which included a record-tying number of immunity wins for a female, a convincing win in the fire
challenge and a tight alliance which overcame significant odds post-
merge to make it to final four

I don't think anyone's disputing that. It just would have been nice if

I just think it is unlikely that three separate jurors would all tell
Sophi (and apparently only Sophi, since no one else has reported hearing this) that they were 50-50 before the vote, and then all three would
come around and vote for Sav. I think this is especially true for Nate,
who always seemed closely aligned with Savannah, who didn't spend that
much time with Sophi and who clearly isn't the type to be swayed by
others on the jury.-a I will wait until the inevitable deep dive
discussions Rob has with each juror to see if each really said that and

I watched some of Sage's exit interviews.She delayed doing them by a day because she was sick. It was obvious during the interviews that she was
not feeling well. I'll give her a pass on the delays. If she was trying
to avoid the spotlight it would have been much better for her to have
done her interviews the same day as the rest of the F5. That one day
delay put a ton of focus on her including all of the speculation that
she was trying to back out so she wouldn't have to discuss what happened
at FTC. I think she wants to talk about things but isn't ready yet to
talk about everything. During her exit interview with Rob he brought up
a topic to which she replied, "I could talk about that all day!" Rob
then said something like, "We can make that happen." Sage then said "Hit
me up, dude." I think Sage is down to do a deep dive. If Rob can make
her feel comfortable he might be able to get her to discuss what
happened at FTC that caused her to start crying at the After Show.
As for FTC, we all know it's highly edited. That shouldn't mean taking
out key and controversial moments. Sophi's not the only one who has said they left out a lot of good stuff. Sage, Rizo, and Savannah have also
said we missed out on content that should have been included. For
example, why did Sage say FTC was so brutal for her? We're people being
mean to her? If Jeff wants drama he should have shown us how she was treated. Not showing Sophie Segreti calling out Kristina was a big
mistake. Too much protection this season. Sadly, I fear the edit for S50
is going to be even worse for different reasons. Are you ready for celeb confessionals?
