When Andrea Boehlke is voted out in Game Changers, she is shocked at the betrayal. Instead of bad-mouthing her tribe or walking away in stunned silence, she stands up and tickles Cirie Fields, an ally of hers who conspired to vote her out. Breaking down the episode, Andrea wondered why that was her natural reaction. She’d been voted out thrice before post-merge (twice in Redemption Island), and for some reason this time she fuels her frustration into a lunge toward Cirie’s neck for a little goochie goochie goo.
Some Survivor contestants will say they black out as their names is being read, carrying their torch to Jeff Probst in a trance-like state before fully processing the result on Ponderosa. It’s common to wish ill upon the tribe after a blindside, hoping they “starve” or “freeze” in their absence. Some exits jolt the audience out of their seat, like Michaela Bradshaw’s “WHAT?!?” on Millennials vs. Gen X or Chicken Morris’s “DAMN!” in China. Jeff will occasionally veer from script, letting contestants say his catchphrases when it feels appropriate.
Drea’s departure was the wildest exit Survivor has ever seen. As soon as the final vote was read, the mood at Tribal Council morphed into that of a frat party. Mike and Drea, who were both gunning for one another, embraced as Mike said, “I’m still coming to see you in Canada.” Drea hugged everyone on her tribe and then addressed each of them individually as she brought her torch to Jeff, telling Mike he makes it to the end if he wins.
As Jeff tried to snuff her torch, he was flummoxed by Drea’s sudden burst of energy during what is supposed to be a funereal affair. Drea, clearly still fired up, shouted “Noooo” and helped push the snuffer onto her torch, squeezing the absolute most of her final moments. Either Drea had been planning to go out in a blaze of glory all along, or she completely blacked out and instead of being angry or shocked or starting a tickle fight, Drea was giddier than any of her predecessors. Surely, she’ll take some time to stew on Ponderosa.
Best twists that should never return: Knowledge Is Power & Do Or Die
The Knowledge Is Power, in theory, was a terrible advantage to introduce in seasons 41 and 42. The idea was flawed from the start because in both seasons, the advantage entered the game after all the contestants were aware of who had immunity idols, due to the secret phrases twist. Therefore, Liana Wallace from season 41 and Drea from this season seemingly had too much power to take someone’s idol and use it for themselves. In both cases, however, the Knowledge Is Power was misplayed. Liana tried to snag Xander Hastings’ idol while Drea attempted to pilfer Mike’s idol, but both would-be victims snuffed out the plan before it could come to fruition. In Drea’s case, the flub was fatal.
The Do or Die twist seemed to be a bit unfair as well, since it potentially took away from the most exciting part of the episode — the vote — and left the decision up to chance. Despite 1-in-3 odds, however, both Deshawn Radden from season 41 and Lindsay from this season skirted elimination. This led to highly dramatic moments that ultimately didn’t result in fans ripping their hair out in frustration.
In light of the success of these twists, Jeff may be inspired to use them again. He shouldn’t. The twists worked well the first two times, but Survivor is a better show when the episode ends in a vote and no one player possesses too much power from something they found on the ground or in a tree.
Least convincing sob story: Jonathan’s fatigue
Early in the episode, everyone except Romeo Escobar and Maryanne Oketch are talking about how little Romeo contributes around camp. Jonathan says, “I don’t know if I’ve ever seen him do anything.” A few minutes later in the episode, Jonathan is cooped up in the shelter asking Romeo, “How long have I been laying here?” Jonathan explains in a confessional that he has it more difficult on the island because of his ginormous appetite needed to support his gigantic frame. “Nobody sees how hard it is for me,” he says.
It’s true that big men like Jonathan require more sustenance to survive in the elements. But this is largely a problem Jonathan created by waking up at insane hours to work out so that he can look like a wax sculpture and break pull-up records. If he really wanted to have a smoother time surviving in the game, he could have sat on the couch and eaten moderate amounts of food before he left to play the game. Clearly, Jonathan couldn’t live life like a normal human, instead choosing to train like he was competing in the Olympics, and now his caloric deficit may be his undoing.
Survivor airs Wednesdays at 8pm EST on CBS.
