He said that the hard thing about being too good is that it makes you a target.

Friends Going to War

What were left with is a somewhat unsatisfying conclusion to a very bonkers season.

Kenzie and Maria are both working on the puzzle, and Kenzie is pulling ahead.

We then see Liz do something that is practically unheard of in aSurvivorfinale.

Who does she think she is?Natalie Imbruglia?

She doesnt get to be torn; Liz literally won the challenge for her!

Luckily for her, Liz tells Kenzie shes allergic to pasta, so she should take Ben instead.

Um, the reason it seems like Ben wasnt playing a game is because he wasnt.

(Spoiler alert!)

The final challenge is excellent it should be called Death Plinko.

Because its something that is hard for everyone, then anyone can win.

He ultimately decides that Kenzie and Liz should make fire.

First of all, the fire-making challenge sucks.

(How does Liz, on a basic human level, function every day?)

The game should be about strategy, relationship-building, and, yes, physical challenges.

Fire highlights none of these.

You might as well ask two people to lip sync for their lives like itsRuPauls Drag Race.

Also, the choice of sending two people to fire could still ruin a winners game.

What if Liz won and then beat them all?

Bens victory at Death Plinko would mean nothing.

Thats why I hate that the biggest decision is at final four rather than final three.

The ultimate choice is winning an immunity challenge at three and bringing one other person to the end.

What kind of winners is this iteration producing?

Is it possible to do better?

Tomato, Tomato.)

Thats why I go commando; I like it free-flowing.

I deserve this win!)

None of the final three do a good job selling their games or their overarching strategies.

Kenzie is basically just like, I was nice to all of you.

Dont vote me out.

I kid Kenzie, who I love.

Soft skills are often overlooked in this game, as is coming back from a deficit at the merge.
