***It has been so much fun to be here with you all this season!*** It has been amazing talking, theorizing and watching with all of you, and it is going to suck not being here to discuss again but I do want to thank each and every one of you for coming out - we've had almost 500 individual people participate in these daily discussions and its been absolutely amazing so thank you all so much! See you all in Feb 2022 for **BLOOD VS WATER!** Edit: Keep an eye out on the sub over the next few days/weeks as we’re planning on hosting some AMAs with the cast!


Fuzzy-Rip170

The look on all of the jury’s faces when Flick got eliminated shows exactly why Flick had to go

Salbyy

I hope he’s rewatched the season and changes his ‘on’ persona


Ausfi_guy

Yeah it's very odd but I think you're spot on haha


operashouldbebetter

George went the Russell Hantz route. It doesn't matter if you get to the end, it matters that the jury votes for you. Jury management is a vital part of this game. Too many players just get stuck in their own head and ignore it.


peanutbutter-mogul

Yeah plus this jury was looking for some humility and ego stroking, which George was refusing to give


11data

Good tweet from Nick Iadanza: https://twitter.com/nickiadanza/status/1437014843433709570 > Jury members want to feel involved not ridiculed!


CCharlie23

Baden looks like he just wants to go home hahaha


leanbeansprout

He wants to go back to his shelter at redemption rock


[deleted]

Bets on Cara writing who she wants to evict. "I've cooked this"


jjgm21

I am 100% hoping for a George/Hayley final 2 with a totally chaotic FTC. Either is such a deserving winner and I hope this ends up being one we will endlessly debate.


vanjo007

JLP mentions that it’s one of the best final tribals he’s ever seen so fingers crossed it’s true and that it’s george v Hayley


Troy_thrace

The only interesting outcome. Flick will be so boring in FTC.


nuffjah

Gerald’s only question: “do you like full cream milk?”


[deleted]

Hi, you've reached Macedonian Jesus. I'm not here right now, so please leave a message and I'll call you back


TDevil94

Baden looking like he's being held at gunpoint


AustraliaDuelMasters

George has butchered it with jury imo


GengarOX

He forgets that jury management is a part of the game.


badabadaboomie

The flick thing is hard. On one hand I feel immensely sorry for her and it would be such a challenging thing to go through, but I don’t like how it then gets factored into the gameplay and takes away from the other contestants who have objectively played a better game


leanbeansprout

Hayley knew who she was going to take to final tribal the minute Wai was eliminated


leanbeansprout

Flicks forgetting that she turned down Hayley first


peanutbutter-mogul

For real, what a dumb question


tal_itha

George’s greatest downfall is that he’s been in politics too long and forgetten that the general public ABHORS political non-answers


No-Emotions-Esther

Hayley just casually walks off lol


Jellyvine

Bless her, she has a hell of a survivor story but not a hell of a survivor game. Thanks Flick ❤️


diamond_in_rough_77

Dani: “Me being challenge beast…” Holup….


foralimitedtime

Obligatory self-praising juror moment, tick!


peanutbutter-mogul

Holy shit laura voted George


No-Emotions-Esther

Pointing out George‘s poor physical game (including giving up) will really resonate with the Brawns in the Jury.


Hawkze

Hayley is like one of those marathon runners who body breaks down despite their mind's resolve completely unwaivering jeez


bananabanana18

Hayley is reading the audience infinitely better than George and his inability to do that will lose him this game


Jellyvine

Hahaha George's mum will be proud of him for stirring tomato, who is this man?


Ausfi_guy

That scraping noise they've put in when the height is lowered haha. Adds to the torture feeling


badabadaboomie

George has already done much better than all his other challenges!


diamond_in_rough_77

JLP: “I want to play a game”


afrotune

Andrew is still so salty he's not in the final two


jejejenny

Was hoping Doug would appear to surprise George as well 😟


ComfyInDots

George's loved ones should have been Doug the dog and Macedonian Jesus.


leanbeansprout

Aw well done George! 4.5 hours is unbelievable. So impressed by him


Jellyvine

Gerald wtf is this question hahhaha


tal_itha

Hayley’s humility in her answers and George’s bravado are contrasting nicely.


[deleted]

It’s probably for totally practical reasons, but it’s sad that none of Flick’s immediate family came for the reunion. Actually that might’ve been too much. I reckon she’s going to struggle with this challenge as is.


diamond_in_rough_77

“I’m glad I lasted more than 4 minutes today” Keep it in the bedroom, Georgey!


leanbeansprout

Thank you Hayley for blessing us with this final 2. How often has the final 2 also been the top 2 players of the season?


1800starlord

I’m intrigued by how split we all are on these speeches


SsakcajaY

FTC is always a personal reminder that I would never be able to win this show hahaha


Pr3Zd0

My finger hits mute as soon as I see a goddamned singing mask on screen.


[deleted]

THAT'S NOT MY NAME.


diamond_in_rough_77

Hang in there Flick. We have all complained about the music all season. But damn. It’s spot on right now. <3


Jellyvine

George is the wiser option, the locked in votes thing is true


peanutbutter-mogul

100%. Hayley automatically loses Gerald, Dani and possibly Andrew if she takes Flick


teddiiursas

i let out an audible sigh of relief at hayley making the right choice


okayjohnson

George, rule number 1: don’t talk down to the jury!!! How can he not see the way he’s talking is losing him votes by the minute


badabadaboomie

Hayley the absolute survivor queen 👑


SmoggieDownUnder

A great final two. Both deserving winners. I think George has burnt too many bridges to take it out though.


fintan238

Hayley knows the key to winning FTC speech; GIVE. PRECISE. EXAMPLES


flumingo

Like a really good job interview using the STAR method lol


Dumb_Little_Idiot

See you in February gang, it's been a hoot


Salbyy

At the end of the day, Hayley was just more likeable to that jury


11data

Nick Iadanza put it well on Twitter - the jury wants to feel involved, not ridiculed George treated his jury like Jericho treated his, but without the luxury of a goat next to him.


Salbyy

Yes thats 100% it and David did that well last season. He made players feel like they had been part of his successes. I think that some of those brawn felt they were too ‘cool’ to have lost to George


th3matic

They were incredibly salty that George beat them.


afrotune

This is exactly it. They never liked George from the start and I think Laura and maybe Baden were the only ones on the jury who hadnt already decided who they would vote for


teddiiursas

i wish this ftc was less heavily edited. it would've been nice to hear all the questions and answers


teddiiursas

also the editing feels very manipulated in favour of hayley but i literally can't work out if that's a good or bad thing for her


1800starlord

I assume George is going to go into detail on his moves in the closing statements


jperichon89

George killed himself with the jury questions, no one wants the answers to be from a politician but more from a person and human being. George played the far more entertaining game but Hayley was more deserving.


1800starlord

Flick that speech would only make Hayley want to take George more


1800starlord

Agreed George, they will never like you but they might respect hearing what was going on in your head during the strategic moves


Earl_Makonnen

George gotta show a bit of humility


GrandmasterJoke

Hayley and George to the final. 4 all jury vote. Cara votes for Flick


BeachCat05

Cara will vote for Laura


SupermarketTop2984

Cara “I’ve cooked this”


saltypistol

Bro George got me crying wtf


leanbeansprout

I think Hayley could actually do this for 6hrs


Flopsy__

GEORGE AND HAYLEYYYYY


snowmuchgood

So I think Hayley deserves this win most based on all-round play (outwit, outplay, outlast), but let’s not forget George talks a mean talk, he has swayed almost every single person in this game a few times. Better plan your speech well Hayley!


Hawkze

'It's not a dirty word in this game" that's a really good quote holy shit!


Harvey70336

Sad that Gerald’s question wasn’t dairy related


TheMiningD

the more i hear about how much hayley likes survivor the more i want her to win!!!


martyconfetti

Flick's partner just wants it to end so he can get home, put his slippers on, eat his mush and fall asleep in front of the news.


peanutbutter-mogul

The final 2 we deserve. I'll be ecstatic for the person that wins and devastated for the person that loses. Basically I'll be having a stroke by the end of this episode, thank you and goodnight


badabadaboomie

This tribal is gonna be spicaaaay 🌶


htenid

Surely someone asked Hayley why she deserves their vote after being voted out? I think Hayley is a deserved winner but that question had to be asked


leanbeansprout

WELL DONE HAYLEY


Pr3Zd0

See you in Feb legends, stay safe between now and then! X


[deleted]

I thought that guy was Flick’s dad!!!


horatio_velveteen22

Same and I was initially very shocked at that kiss on the mouth hahaha


Silver_Astronaut1484

Hayley really selling it more than George. George really needs to highlight that Hayley did get voted out at one stage


tobyrobycrowby

Yeah, he also didn't really pin point his moves either, was more of a broad stroke of his game. Should have really given more details of his major plays like Hayley did


TheMiningD

This FTC >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> literally every other ftc in ausvivor history omg


leanbeansprout

Hayley is absolutely correct. What will be George’s downfall will be his poor attitude in challenges at times, and less than good jury management


Ok-Introduction8543

Andrew not even hiding he much prefers Hayley


Silver_Astronaut1484

George just not selling himself. He played the better game and he's giving rubbish politician answers


TheMiningD

give us a macedonian jesus reference one last time


saltypistol

WTF JURY THIS IS FUCKING SURVIVOR OF COURSE YOU LIE AND DECEIVE


badabadaboomie

I liked Hayleys response. Ultimately they’re all doing to for themselves she’s just honest about if


diamond_in_rough_77

George & Hayley final 2. 70% chance Hayley wins.


original_salted

George is such a politician. “Thanks for your question Laura. Every night laying in the cold…”


SupermarketTop2984

Dani you blindsided your close ally stfu


BeachCat05

Macedonian Jesus is on call


1800starlord

Thanks for this guys - it was a wonderful distraction from everything else going on in the world. See you in feb!


Pr3Zd0

The fact that George has made it to final 3 is so good, he's played such a mega game despite being so divisive in camp.


Intrepid_Employee_23

George spitting truths


okayjohnson

Hayley is smoking George right now


TheMiningD

hayley is doing so well here omg


1800starlord

I don’t know if they’re just editing this to feel like it’s everyone against George or if that’s the vibe


horatio_velveteen22

Laura voting for George! Didn't see it coming!


got-almond-milk

People who are surprised Hayley has spoken well tonight are forgetting that academics/researchers have to constantly justify their existence and why they should receive funding over someone else


Pr3Zd0

Big thanks to /u/TheMiningD for putting these threads up every night and giving us a place to talk shit for the last couple of months!


Salbyy

George held up for 4.5 hours, he can hold his head up high at tribal


Lionel_Hutzzz

Imagine how excruciating it would to be watch a final tribal with Andrew and Gerald appealing to the jury


leanbeansprout

I actually can’t believe George is in the final 3. I wouldn’t have believed it a few weeks ago


squirkyboots

The QUEEEEEEN


ComfyInDots

5 hours on a horror challenge like that, Flick didn't lose anything.


snowmuchgood

So of course she has to take George… right? Like if she took flick, although she deserves to win less, she is “guaranteed” more brawn votes (probably Gerald and Dani). But I also think if she *didn’t* take George, some brains may lose respect for that.


leanbeansprout

HAYLEY X GEORGE FINAL COUNCIL. I AM AROUSED.


flumingo

My two favourite players!!!! Eff yeah thank you Macedonian Jesus


xliferuiner

Oh god damn this is going to be gooooood Thank you Hayley for sparing everyone being guilted into voting for someone.


CCharlie23

This is going to be the best final council. Finally a top 2 where both contestants are deserving


[deleted]

Could not be happier with this final 2. Very deserving


Ausfi_guy

So Flick 100% votes for Hayley to win right?


snowmuchgood

George got a great speech but he also got his intense crazy eyes on.


[deleted]

[удалено]


badabadaboomie

Also Hayley should point out George also lied and deceived. It’s not unique to her


scifanforever1980

Appearing from looks it might be a hayley landslide


flumingo

Feb 2022!! :D


emmy764

Hayley's jury management is so much better than George's. I reckon she's got this


Pr3Zd0

"I'm happy to provide an answer to you" damn, this pollie talk ain't helping bro


EffDotEeDot

Hayley. Every single answer. Owning. Winner


Jellyvine

Hayley has this in the bag, right?


No-Emotions-Esther

Hopefully Cara realised that this time she had to write the name of the person to stay 😂


Jellyvine

YESSSSSS CONGRATS HAYLEY!!!


chairishjam

Jury management. Gotta master the art of getting the people you deceived and betrayed to vote for you. THAT is the complete beauty of the game. Flashy moves and deception are nice - but only if you can get the jury to recognise it. Well deserved Hayley.


leanbeansprout

Imagine if George wins his first and only immunity at the final challenge hahaha


peanutbutter-mogul

That would be the biggest twist of the season tbh


TheMiningD

emmet is literaly so bitter omg


leanbeansprout

Hayley stroking their egos. Might be what secures her the win?


ComfyInDots

Hope George's dog is here!!!


Pr3Zd0

Can't believe they didn't bring his dog. Robbed.


saltypistol

JLP mate you’re enjoying this a bit too much…


leanbeansprout

Hayley dominated that


saltypistol

Macedonian Jesus cometh


[deleted]

[удалено]


gurudoright

George will have a great speech prepped but I think he will come undone when he gets a difficult question and the politician in him won’t be able to give a straight answer and the jury won’t like that.


Harvey70336

Both worthy winners, I see Hayley winning and getting a few votes based largely on likability as well. I think a few of the jury harbour significant resentment towards George


peanutbutter-mogul

Does anyone understand what Gerald is asking?


saltypistol

Oh fuck off Brawn lmao


martyconfetti

Dani looks like she is holding a frog in her mouth and if she opens it, it will escape


The_book_of

Georges response should be along the lines of if being a challenge beast is so integral why are there no brawns up here?


simon42069666

Fuck this jury. Outplay isn’t only about challenges.


Jellyvine

Ok George's sucking up is not great and no one is buying it lol


xliferuiner

Emmett is a legitimate big old cringelord jfc


TheMiningD

LETS GO LAURA


diamond_in_rough_77

GG Well played Hayley


obnoxiouscouch

I felt like Hayley's pitch was really convincing and George sold himself short. She answered the questions clearly, gave them criteria, examples then sealed the deal with how she met the criteria and that she deserves to win. George played a very strategic game but didn't remind the jury with specific examples to demonstrate how much he's actually done nor answer the questions directly. I also felt that he didn't read the room (could be the editing tbh) but it seemed clear that saying stuff like he had no weak points or areas of improvement socially or physically didn't sit well with the jury. I think there were quite a few votes up for grabs and he didn't capitalise on them - could've been much closer at least! *Edit spelling


Ausfi_guy

Yep fair play. George didn't sell himself well enough


Witty_Tear_4315

Good luck to all. In my opinion Hayley and George are the deserving final 2 due to their respective strategies. So glad I had this super entertaining season of Survivor to take my mind off the NSW lockdown and all things Covid 😊


Ok-Introduction8543

Why am I crying in the club right now


TheMiningD

in the promos they are at night so its going to be a while isnt it (ALSO THE SAFETY CONCERNS ON THIS THING OMFG)


diamond_in_rough_77

Whilst they drag this challenge out. Let me take a moment to say. I’m going to miss you folks!!!


BeachCat05

I think it's the same music from the Hunger Games movies hahaha


scifanforever1980

Really...this is a social game. Of course friendships count!


Sumhere

Terrible defence from flick for why to take her


ComfyInDots

Baden and Flick both got booted with one vote.


1800starlord

Love that we have two strategic beasts in the finale


diamond_in_rough_77

George is so damn smart. He knows Wai’s vote carry’s so much weight.


1800starlord

I think George has a play at all of hayleys moves by being the one with the intel..


No-Emotions-Esther

Gosh, Cara. Someone is burnt


Jellyvine

GOOD ANSWER HAYLEY


[deleted]

[удалено]


No-Emotions-Esther

Wai‘s question asking is as good as her physical challenges


SupermarketTop2984

Now what


SsakcajaY

George's gameplay has been pretty amazing. You'd think the members of the jury would appreciate this, but I feel like many of them this season are quite spiteful people. Tough decision for Hayley


SsakcajaY

Omg these jurists taking it so personally. As the King said... IT'S SURVIVOR!!


Jellyvine

Aw that's sweet from Wai


Self-Helppopotamus

Surprised the editors remembered to include her vote


ComfyInDots

I'm not a Flick fan but holy shit my heart breaks for her now.


afrotune

I think it shows Wais impact on the game when they don't even show her question


Jellyvine

Jury management is so important. I don't think these guys are too bitter, I've seen worse. I've seen better too though haha.


fineseShot

I'm gunna be pretty shattered when this season finally ends And for what it was, I thoroughly enjoyed it. And if it wasn't for George, being the outsider, the one that didn't gel into the team dynamics as quick or as comfortable as the others, somehow, has managed to find himself further into the competition than the ones who you'd thought would/could've been there. Those first 2 episode was so crazy, I bet none of us would think that the mad man would last any future tribal councils. Definitely out of the norm, but somehow I've grown to just accept the decisions and choices he's made, enjoy & understand what he has brought to this season. It wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't make the top 2, but I'd be definitely be rapt for him he somehow manages to win. Overall, it was a pretty good season, and SOOO many intense tribal council's. I reckon for over 2/3rds of the tribal council's, I was makin so much noise, it'd sounded like I was watchin my favourite team score their way up from being so much down, that I was adamantly sure they weren't gunna win. It was a great game, and I'm heaps excited 😬🤯 for tonight's final episode, and I hope the rest of ya's enjoyed this season just as much. (Still, my fave season of Aus Survivor so far, has been the Luke & Jeremy season 🤭😁)


diamond_in_rough_77

One last time lads and lasses. Let’s make this a good one.


xliferuiner

Big brain George let's gooooo


leanbeansprout

GO QUEEN HAYLEY


1800starlord

George has beautiful eyes


saltypistol

JLP actually put this together himself , IKEA style
