Kenzie supporting Ben throughout his night terrors even after he accidentally voted for her made me cry cause it was so beautiful and real, so I'm really happy she won.

Agreed but I wanted to note that Charlie did the same and they just never showed it on screen.

Yet she did absolutely nothing to support Jess who was really struggling due to her ADHD and instead went after her by planting a fake idol and then pretty much called her “stupid” when she didn’t find it.

This is the first US season that started since I got into Australian Survivor but the attitude towards Jess just really bummed me out and put me off watching this season

Other thoughts from this finale:

-I'm still not over Liz helping Kenzie in that final five immunity LMAO. And that Jeff/production was fine with it. In that moment, I got why Boston Rob thought it was fine for him to peak at someone else's puzzle on Deal or No Deal Island lol. I wonder if they let that happen again.

-That Liz's strategy of telling people she's a millionaire so horribly backfired when she tried to use it on Ben. I was dying at his confessional where he's all, "I'm broke so she doesn't need to make Final 3." Though I wish she'd made it to final three just for her to reveal that she's not actually a millionaire but also to hear her FTC answers.

-Do they not let people clean off before food challenges because I was way too distracted about Ben and Kenzie covered in mud while eating, and they didn't get to clean off until they got back to camp.

Helping another person win has happened very blatantly before it makes good TV bc of the drama so I don't think it's encouraged but it's never been stopped or frowned upon that I can remember.

It was stopped with Sophie in a season, and she even tweeted about it.

I think the real difference was Liz keeping her plan to herself. She was def taking advantage of plausible deniability of going back to retrieve her own plank until she switched it up last second. Jeff doesn’t enjoy that type of gameplay, but when someone bamboozles him like that he’s been shown to begrudgingly grant it.

Ah, yeah, Jeff does seem like a "ask for forgiveness vs permission" guy.

Why did Liz think she had it in the bag? She bothered me all season though.

I'm meh about Kenzie winning but I was also meh about the whole season. It felt like nobody was playing hard at all or standing out.

Truly makes me wish they still had Ponderosa videos.

She sounds all over the place from what he's describing, I don't know if it's really worth pursuing that friendship at this point to be honest. She talked about how they'd be like Malcolm & Denise early on - but Malcolm voted for Denise to win.

I do kind of wonder why they got rid of the Ponderosa videos (I think it was 42+, but I may not have watched the 41 ones).

On Ponderosa, I've read from others that the people who handled that moved on to other things, and it's basically a victim of overall cost cutting where production just didn't bother filling that gap. I think at the very least they post like IG stories or something? But they get posted so late and are very short.

On the more dramatic side, people think it's fallout from Omar and Drea.
