Survivor 46 Is Where Strategy Goes to Die. Good!


The dumbest game of hide-and-seek you’ve ever seen and a tantrum-filled tribal. What more could you ask for?

This week’s contenders — control freak Q and his flop alliance of Tevin, Hunter, Maria, Charlie, and Tiffany, as well as the too-blunt Venus, rockstar Ben, mermaid-dragon Kenzie, and wealthy Liz — never seem to act in their best interest and always lead with emotion. Though the structure of season 46 felt typical of the New Era — three tribes, one absolutely decimated, and a “twist” that meant the merge began two episodes ago with a fake version and a split tribal — the cast’s chaotice energy made itself known from the start. A rundown of tonight’s best chaos: The episode begins with a hide-and-seek montage that’s as good as anything Survivor has done in recent seasons, largely because it’s narrated by Q and Venus, both of whom believe the children’s game holds the key to determining the inner psyches of all their opponents.
