#Survivor50 Kyle going home because of injury is devastating. The Vatu “majority” alliance is now outvoted because of two lost votes and a med-evac. Don’t think I’ve ever seen a majority lose power so quickly due to such unforeseeable circumstances.

#Survivor50 I somehow think with 15 minutes left that we aren’t getting a second Tribal Council…

Luke Bentz @lfbentz24601.bsky.social · 26/02/2026

#Survivor50 GENEVIEVE!!! This advantage seems very good because it’s a secret to build bonds with her alliance, but doesn’t give her the increased threat level that usually comes with idols/advantages.

#Survivor50 I’m all here for the Rick/Christian/Emily trio running Cila. Hoping Cirie makes it out of Tribal Council though.

040

Luke Bentz @lfbentz24601.bsky.social · 26/02/2026

#Survivor50 Savannah is right: Cirie did absolutely blow the challenge for Cila. However, Cirie’s social/strategic game is other-worldly, so I’m oddly not that worried for her?

Luke Bentz @lfbentz24601.bsky.social · 26/02/2026

#Survivor50 Turns out the first stage of the Marooning challenge was the most important. Digging under the beam was surprisingly physical and Stephenie outgunned Kamilla and Savannah. Really fun to see Christian ace the puzzle though

#SurvivorAU Intersting to see both Johnson and Kat get into trouble early. Survivor is a very different beast than Big Brother or The Traitors. Mark may have already overplayed his hand, but his Tribal Council antics were amusing, even if his “the island is haunted” bit is not.

#SurvivorAU Starting with the awful Haves vs. Have Nots twist from U.S. Survivor: Fiji is… a choice.

#SurvivorAU Finally got around to watching the finale episode (was not surprised by the result). It’s so insanely satisfying to see Parvati win here. I can’t even believe that she managed to make it to the end with no votes cast against her

010

Luke Bentz @lfbentz24601.bsky.social · 27/08/2025

#SurvivorAU I might have to formally apologize to Janine Allis. I was unfamiliar with your game. It takes a special skill to have Parvati spinning in circles

Luke Bentz @lfbentz24601.bsky.social · 26/08/2025

Just watched Episode 5 of #SurvivorAU Is this? Is this the best season of Survivor ever?

Luke Bentz @lfbentz24601.bsky.social · 18/08/2025

#SurvivorAU Australia vs. The World Ep. 2 Thoughts: 1. That’s it. A woman or Tony will win this season. 2. She’s here, she’s there, she’s every-F***ing-where! KIRBY!! I’m so glad I finished Titans v. Rebels before this. Kirby Godslayer is must-see TV.

Luke Bentz @lfbentz24601.bsky.social · 17/08/2025

#SurvivorAU vs. The World first impressions: 1. THAT INTRO SEQUENCE 🔥🔥🔥 2. Experience really matters. Having won Survivor once does not mean all that much on a season like this because everyone is a top game player. You can’t get away with gimmick strategies when playing with these people.

110

Luke Bentz @lfbentz24601.bsky.social · 22/07/2025

Starting #SurvivorAU 2017 in preparation for AU v. World! I won’t be completely caught up on everything by the time it starts, but it’s refreshing to watch a season that I know virtually nothing about!

110

Luke Bentz @lfbentz24601.bsky.social · 10/07/2025

Nearing the end of #SurvivorAU Titans v. Rebels. Fantastic season so far. Now that I’ve watched almost 2 seasons of Australian Survivor, it’s utterly baffling to me how anyone would want to replace JLP. He’s an incredible host and freaking hilarious.

061

Luke Bentz @lfbentz24601.bsky.social · 18/06/2025

#SurvivorAU Titans v Rebels Ep. 11 - Cool to see such a heroic challenge effort from Aileen when she’s on the hot seat with her tribe. I know that challenges aren’t everything, but strong players need to be able to pull out a challenge win when it really counts.

020

Luke Bentz @lfbentz24601.bsky.social · 17/06/2025

Update: I’m loving #SurvivorAU Titans v. rebels, but a twist where only 3 people get to vote when there are 9 people on the tribe is really sucky

000

Luke Bentz @lfbentz24601.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

Missing #SurvivorAU since Brains v. Brawn 2 ended, so I’m starting Titans v. Rebels for the first time! No spoilers, but I already know who wins.

Luke Bentz @lfbentz24601.bsky.social · 03/06/2025

#Survivor S20 E10 - Rupert catching on that Russell is double-crossing them and becoming Kassandra of Troy is HILARIOUS, but it’s even better that his counter-plan is: Don’t try to sway Sandra, tell Russell to vote for someone else. How did he expect that to work? 😂😂

010

Luke Bentz @lfbentz24601.bsky.social · 03/06/2025

Re-watching #Survivor Heroes vs. Villains. Ain’t no way the Heroes do this stupid idol plan with Russell if they had kept Cirie in the game 🙄

Luke Bentz @lfbentz24601.bsky.social · 02/06/2025

My best friend told me he wants to get into #Survivor and wants a recommended watch order. He’s a complete newbie and has only seen the Season 43 Finale episode. Any chance someone can help me out? @shannongaitz.bsky.social

Luke Bentz @lfbentz24601.bsky.social · 28/05/2025

Some thoughts on #Survivor50 1. I’m really frustrated at the widespread negativity towards this season already. I’m 🤏 this close to deleting the app-that-shall-not-be-named because of how bad it’s gotten already. The cast is mostly fine and I’m excited to see a lot of these names back!

110

Luke Bentz @lfbentz24601.bsky.social · 28/05/2025

First time ever that I’m willing to watch a morning News show, but it’s only for the #Survivor50 cast list to drop #Survivor

010

Luke Bentz @lfbentz24601.bsky.social · 21/04/2025

Re-watching #Andor in anticipation of Season 2. It’s already one of my favorite shows ever, but I’d forgotten just how good it is. Superb writing and acting all the way around.

000

Luke Bentz @lfbentz24601.bsky.social · 17/04/2025

#Survivor I’m really annoyed with all of the hate I’m seeing for Season 48. (Not so much here, but on the platform that shall not be named) This season has had incredible characters and while I get it’s disappointing to see faves go home early, there’s still a bunch of compelling players and

Luke Bentz @lfbentz24601.bsky.social · 15/04/2025

#SurvivorAU Had an absolute blast watching @myleskuah.bsky.social win my first Australian Survivor season! He had a really unique approach to strategy and I thought he was able to explain it very well. Now I need to go back and binge the rest of Australian Survivor to prepare for the next season!

051

Luke Bentz @lfbentz24601.bsky.social · 15/04/2025

#SurvivorAU I really don’t understand Kaelan’s argument that a repeatable game is the most deserving of the win. So many Survivor winners have games that could never be repeated, and I don’t think that’s a bad thing.

0101

Luke Bentz @lfbentz24601.bsky.social · 13/04/2025

#SurvivorAU Why is Zara explaining everything to the people still in the game???? What in the Emily Flippen is this?!?!?

131

Luke Bentz @lfbentz24601.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

#SurvivorAU Zara seems to have given herself the best chance of making it to Final 2, but it probably came at the cost of any possible remaining win equity—if she had any left in the first place. Definitely feel like taking out AJ or Kaylan would’ve given her a better resumé item.

231

Luke Bentz @lfbentz24601.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

#SurvivorAU How has U.S. Survivor never considered a surprise Immunity Challenge? This is actually a really cool twist that could shake up an otherwise boring vote!

130

Luke Bentz @lfbentz24601.bsky.social · 01/04/2025

I don’t know what to do with myself now that there isn’t a new #SurvivorAU episode to come home to.

040

Luke Bentz @lfbentz24601.bsky.social · 31/03/2025

#SurvivorAU A lot of respect to Logan for the graceful exit. I was a big fan of her this season and am sad to see her go. I’m curious why Kristin and the others didn’t at least bluff a willingness to go to rocks. Going into a 4v3 against the Post-Grads seems like even worse odds than 3/5 on rocks

040

Luke Bentz @lfbentz24601.bsky.social · 29/03/2025

Catching up on @robhasapodcast.bsky.social’s #SurvivorAU podcasts. @shannongaitz.bsky.social giving Kaelan consistent Chissy points reminded me of this meme 😂

230

Luke Bentz @lfbentz24601.bsky.social · 27/03/2025

While I’m up, I can’t stop thinking about @myleskuah.bsky.social on #SurvivorAU and how he was targeting PD and then Kristen of all people. I’ve been saying (to myself) for awhile now that the early merge should be open season for hunting Final TC goats if you are perceived as a power player. It

141

Luke Bentz @lfbentz24601.bsky.social · 27/03/2025

Woke up at 2 am to catch the new #Survivor episode and I’m here with some thoughts (🧵): 1. Gutted for Bianca. It sucks to be instantly betrayed like that for trusting the wrong person. (It sucks double to lose your vote in a game of chance)

120

Luke Bentz @lfbentz24601.bsky.social · 25/03/2025

#SurvivorAU Mad respect to Karin for fighting to the bitter end. Cannot understand at all how she is getting hate after playing such a strong game and having so many likable moments! Will definitely miss her on this season.

051

Luke Bentz @lfbentz24601.bsky.social · 24/03/2025

Noooooooo Kate! You and Morgan come up with a great plan to take out Myles and then instantly go tell Myles’s biggest ally! WHYYYYYYY???!?!? #SurvivorAU

240

Luke Bentz @lfbentz24601.bsky.social · 24/03/2025

I sincerely hope that the #Survivor producers aren’t taking notes from this #SurvivorAU “Bounty vs. Barren” twist. This feels very New Era-coded

120

Luke Bentz @lfbentz24601.bsky.social · 18/03/2025

#SurvivorAU Karin is such a certifiable badass. From her wrestling match with Ursula earlier this season, to taking Last Gasp down to the wire, and then also saving her closer relationship to Logan without looking suspicious is FANTASTIC.

031

Luke Bentz @lfbentz24601.bsky.social · 18/03/2025

#SurvivorAU Logan is my favorite player on this season, but I’d be rich if I had a dollar for every time she’s said “tonight is about revenge” and thinks that AJ is going home. 😂

010

Luke Bentz @lfbentz24601.bsky.social · 17/03/2025

#SurvivorAU Really love @myleskuah.bsky.social saving one of my favorite players in Paulie and taking out someone who will just get dragged to the end. I also don’t understand all of the distrust of Paulie when AJ has been way more explicitly a “snake oil salesman”.

180

Luke Bentz @lfbentz24601.bsky.social · 13/03/2025

Some first thoughts on #Survivor #Survivor48 Episode 3: (🧵) 1. TRIBE SWAP! TRIBE SWAP! TRIBE SWAP! 2. ABSOLUTE LEGEND MARY! Congratulations on the absolutely badass episode! 3. But in all seriousness, what the heck?!?!? I’m not dumb or new to #Survivor, but I don’t understand how that

140

Luke Bentz @lfbentz24601.bsky.social · 12/03/2025

Catching up on #SurvivorAU. Absolutely gutted for both PD and Kaelan. Always bad to see an injury on Survivor and that looked incredibly painful. Great to see the sportsmanship from both tribes though.

010

Luke Bentz @lfbentz24601.bsky.social · 06/03/2025

Some immediate takeaways from Episode 2 of #Survivor #Survivor48 1. Sai voted the right person. 2. Vula better hope there’s a tribe swap. That challenge performance was ROUGH 3. Justin continues to hold the best position on Vula in my estimation. 🧵

130

Luke Bentz @lfbentz24601.bsky.social · 04/03/2025

#SurvivorAU Episode 9. This might be the greatest challenge I’ve ever seen on #Survivor. The social dilemma is INSANE

020

Luke Bentz @lfbentz24601.bsky.social · 03/03/2025

#SurvivorAU : AJ is Crazy for outing his hostage plan (which I don’t think is terrible) at Tribal Council BEFORE the vote. But it’s even CRAZIER that everyone voted the way that he wanted them too anyways.

131

Luke Bentz @lfbentz24601.bsky.social · 02/03/2025

Watching the tribe swap on #SurvivorAU makes me wish we could bring back swaps to U.S. #Survivor. That being said, all of my favorite players are on the “Brawn” tribe now

130

Luke Bentz @lfbentz24601.bsky.social · 27/02/2025

A few takeaways from Episode 1 of #Survivor48 #Survivor 1. SHOCKED by this first vote. I thought the player who was voted out would make it far in the game based on preseason. 2. @ShauhinDavari @JustinPioppi and Kamilla seem to have the best positioning on their tribes 🧵
