Alliances are an important aspect of making it furtheronSurvivor. However, only one person can win Sole Survivor, so there is a limit people typically go to help their allies.Survivor 46once again broke the mold in the final five immunity challenge.Liz Wilcoxgave upwinning for herself and helpedKenzie Petty.
The move made sense given Kenzie had a lead and was up againstthe biggest threat,Maria Shrime Gonzalez.Maria won three immunity challenges and if she won again she’d join a short list of women who won four times in one season. That and her social stronghold throughout the game made her a favorite for the season’s winner.It took two women working together to take her down.This is whatSurvivoralums had to say about the controversial move.
A reality show where a group of contestants are stranded in a remote location with little more than the clothes on their back. The lone survivor of this contest takes home a million dollars.
Alums React to Kenzie Getting Help
Maria, Liz, Kenzie,Charlie Davis, andBen Katzmanmade it to the final five and competed for immunity. The challenge started with them diving through mud and crawling out of a net. Then pull out a rope to release a plank, craze there an obstacle, toss a ball to release a bridge, and solve a puzzle. Kenzie finished her puzzle first, which posed a question. You must count the geckos on the puzzle and the holes in your plank. Everyone dropped their plank way back on the course. Kenzie was confused. Liz raced back to the plank for Kenzie and gave her the answer to win.
Some alums had a sense of humor about the situation.Brandon Donlonhad multiple memorable moments of falling down during challenges inSurvivor 45. “Who would’ve helped me up the ladder #survivor,“he tweetedwith a picture of Liz.
“Liz billionaire game changer #survivor #survivor46 Poor Maria [crying emoji],“Omar Ahmad ZaheerofSurvivor 42tweeted.
Other alums were just as shocked as fans by the move. “What the hell was that?!“Karla Cruz GodoyofSurvivor 43tweeted after the shocking moment.
“Just my opinion: Teaming up against someone in an immunity challenge is lame. #Survivor"Rick DevensofSurvivor 38tweeted.
Winner ofSurvivor: South Pacific,Sophie Clarke, also had something to say. “Oh, now you can help people?“she tweeted. She then tagged fellow alumAlbert Destradein the reply and asked “What do you think?” He didn’t reply with his opinion.
Jeff Probstmade it clear that they were going to honor Kenzie’s immunity win. “Maria, it is one of the most interesting facets ofSurvivoris that the better you are, the bigger the target you are,” he told her. She said that she took the move as a compliment. We’ve seen multiple controversial moves and strategies in the new era that were later barred. Time will tell if the same thing will happen about helping another castaway in a challenge.Survivor46is available to stream onParamount+in the U.S.Watch on Peacock
