Big Brother: Reindeer Games kicked off a feud between Britney Haynes and Danielle Reyes.

Maybe “feud” isn’t the right word, as Danielle was feuding with Britney, and Britney rolled with the punches.

Danielle claimed that Britney betrayed her during Reindeer Games when Britney picked Danielle to compete in a challenge.

Danielle lost that challenge and got eliminated, leading to her blaming Britney for it repeatedly.

Fast forward to the season premiere of The Traitors 3, where Britney and Danielle each learned they were on the cast.

Britney made a move to bury the hatchet and swallow her pride about Reindeer Games, but now she has come clean about why she did it.

Britney Haynes revealed why she apologized to Danielle Reyes

The Let’s Get Treacherous podcast hosted Britney Haynes for a new episode.

Survivor alums Carolyn Wiger and Carson Garrett host the fun and unique podcast, where they often chat with reality TV folks.

A new Survivor winner has been crowned, and the previous Survivor winner has passed the torch.

Rachel Lamont recently won Survivor 47, with the jury giving her a 7-1-0 win over Sam Phalen and Sue Smey.

Kenzie Petty won Survivor 46 on a 5-3-0 jury vote over Charlie Davis and Ben Katzman. That season also featured Liz “Applebee’s” Wilcox.

Kenzie has been busy after winning Survivor. She got married after postponing her wedding to play Survivor, and the married couple also had a baby.

The energetic Survivor 46 castaway frequently posts about her life and adventures on social media, keeping fans updated.

Recently, Kenzie chose a fun way to address people asking if she was sad about passing on the Survivor torch to a new winner.

Every year, there are new Survivor fans who discover the show and have to figure out which seasons to watch first. However, many of the fans of Jeff Probst's beloved reality show have been watching long enough to know things like who the first player to be medically evacuated was. These days, it seems like everyone who plays Survivor is the kind of fan of the show who can rank every season, know who the best players are, and have opinions about every winner.

Since most players know so much about Survivor's history, it seems like they want to be embraced by the show's past players. That is why it is so remarkable that Survivor 44’s Carson Garrett spoke out about finding the behavior of some past players "disgusting."

During every season of Survivor,...

Sue Smey from Survivor 47 has noticed the many online posts from fans about her looks.

Many posts have been unkind, but Sue has taken everything in stride, releasing a video showcasing how to sport her look from Fiji.

“Here’s how to get #SUEnami snatched cheeks in 3 easy steps,” Sue captioned her Instagram post.

“Yes .. soot was used in the making of this video...

Many Survivor alums dressed up to celebrate Halloween this year.

Some former castaways even wore multiple costumes.

It was also interesting to see fans getting into the spirit, with some dressing as the host of Survivor.

Jeff Probst has to be flattered that viewers still dress as him for Halloween after more than 46 seasons on CBS.

Survivor 46 winner Kenzie Petty got into the spirit with her new baby, making her new bundle of joy a bit “spooky” for the holiday.

For anyone who missed that news, Kenzie married and had a baby following her time in Fiji.

Kenzie Petty is now a mom.

The Survivor 46 winner did a “baby hard launch” on social media to announce his arrival.

Baby Beau has finally arrived, and Kenzie shared a cute video with her husband and son.

Kenzie has been busy following her Survivor season in Fiji.

Upon returning from Fiji, Kenzie and Jackson Ray Petty got married.

They postponed their wedding so Kenzie could play Survivor, and she did quite well.

And as the season was airing on CBS, Kenzie revealed she was pregnant.

Kenzie Petty has her baby

Kenzie took to Instagram this weekend to reveal her baby had been born.

“Out of everything I’ve ever done, this is by far the best,” Kenzie began the caption of her extremely cute video.

“I don’t have the words to fully encompass everything, but it was perfect. Our birth was beautiful, we are doing great in postpartum. Everyone...

Charlie Davis spoke about investing in himself and finishing school while on Survivor 46.

He did exactly that and finished law school. Now he can begin the next chapter in his life.

Charlie became a fan-favorite Season 46 castaway, often relating Taylor Swift’s lyrics to what he was experiencing in Fiji.

It even led to a jury member ordering him not to mention Taylor Swift as he tried to get their votes.

Now back in the United States, Charlie can quote his favorite singer as often as he wants. And that happened in a recent video shared online.

Charlie shared a video where he was in the shower singing about why he was saddened by Maria Gonzalez not voting for him. Of course, Taylor Swift’s music was playing.

The Traitors season 3 may feature Survivor legend Tony Vlachos and Carolyn Wiger, both known for their strategic gameplay. Tony Vlachos, a two-time Survivor winner, could bring his chaotic and unpredictable approach to The Traitors. Carolyn Wiger's mental fortitude and alliance-making skills could make her a formidable player in The Traitors season 3.

The Traitors season 3 is getting ready to film, and these two Survivor players are rumored to be joining the all-star cast for the exciting game of deception. The Traitors, which became one of the most-watched series in Peacocks history during its most recent season, brings together a group of reality TV stars for a strategy game in the Scottish highlands. Though the first season of the series offered a mix of civilian players and reality TV stars, The Traitors season 2 brought a group of major players in the reality TV space to play the game with each other.

It’s the end of an era — Sia is done giving cash prizes to her favorite Survivor contestants and winners. For the past 14 seasons, the singer has personally awarded a select few contestants an extra cash prize from her own personal funds. To date, Sia has given away more than $1 million. But after the conclusion of season 46 came and went earlier this week with seemingly no Sia prize handed out, Survivor host Jeff Probst confirmed that the singer has decided to stop awarding her own “Sia Prize.”

“It’s the...

Survivor contestants are saying see ya to a bit of prize money from pop singer/songwriter Sia.

Just two days after Survivor’s 46th season ended, host Jeff Probst announced that the Sia Prize has come to an end. Sia will no longer award money to her favorite players every season.

On May 24, Probst announced the end of her largesse on Instagram. Sia reposted it.

“After eight years, 14 seasons, 19 players, and over $1,000,000 awarded, Survivor is officially bringing the Sia Prize to a triumphant end!”

Sia reposted Probst’s statement on her Instagram Story, adding animated hearts.

“Over the many years, Sia has brought so much joy to so many players and it was always straight from her heart,” Probst said.

“So it is with tremendous gratitude and admiration to Sia that we bring to a close one of the most unique relationships a TV show could ever have with a...

Survivor is losing one of its fan-favorite unofficial prize funds. Jeff Probst released a statement explaining the prize and said that it has officially ended. It has lasted eight years, 14 seasons, and 19 players have won over $1 million. However, Jeff said it is time to close it down.

Here is what Jeff Probst said is ending on Survivor after players won an extra million dollars in prize money.

Sia Is Ending Her Survivor Prize Fund

Sia is an Australian singer/songwriter who is a huge Survivor fan. When she began offering her own money as a special prize fund for her favorite contestants, it took everyone by surprise. This included host Jeff Probst, who didn’t know it was going to happen until after it started.

In 2016, Sia made a surprise appearance on the live reunion of Survivor: Kaôh Rōng. She was watching the reunion when she stood up and...

The Sia Prize has become a familiar post-season award to fun players from each Survivor cast.

Singer Sia had given out cash prizes to the players she most enjoyed watching each season.

Sia enjoyed rewarding several players each season, with recent winners including Kaleb Gebrewold, Jake O’Kane, Carolyn Wiger, Carson Garrett, and Elaine Stott.

Players had been getting up to $100,000 for being her favorite player in a season or $15,000 for being entertaining. And she did this for eight years.

Sia is one of the biggest Survivor fans out there, and the players getting her prize would usually get invited to meet and party with her.

But it is the end of an era, as it has been announced that Sia is done with the prizes and that nobody from the Survivor 46 cast will get one.

Some big news has been shared by Survivor 46 player Kenzie Petty.

While her Survivor episodes are still playing out on CBS, Kenzie shared a huge announcement with her fans and followers.

Kenzie Petty is pregnant and expecting a baby with her husband, Jackson.

Using Mother’s Day to make the announcement was perfect for the couple.

Kenzie added five photos of herself and her husband celebrating the big life moment in a fun Instagram post.

Will she soon have a nice $1 million prize to begin a college fund for her kiddo? Stay tuned!

Kenzie shares her pregnancy announcement with the world

“I’ve gotten really good at keeping secrets and going on adventures this year,” Kenzie began her new Instagram post.

“But it’s finally the perfect day to tell y’all We’Re Having A Baby!! Sweet lil Petty popping up in September,” Kenzie announced.

The new episode began with only 14 people competing for the $1 million prize.

Three members of the Yanu Tribe had been voted out, and Randen was medically evacuated.

Well… Bhanu wasn’t technically voted out, but Jeff Probst felt the elimination was so obvious that he didn’t make the tribe vote.

Down to only three members, as the new episode began, the Yanu Tribe was in trouble. Could Tiffany, Q, and Kenzie finally win an Immunity Challenge?

As if anyone even needs a reminder… Yanu lost the first four Immunity Challenges. They still didn’t have a flint and had to trade fish they won as a reward for camp supplies since they couldn’t cook it.

Bhanu claimed his tribe lacked empathy in an exit interview. He shared an interesting view of what happened in Fiji.

Sia is a huge fan of Survivor and loves celebrating her favorite players.

The singer of The Greatest, Cheap Thrills, and Elastic Heart also awards cash prizes to players she enjoys on the show.

Following the Survivor 45 season, Sia gave out three cash prizes to cast members. Rewarding players is something she loves doing. It also leads to more than just the winner being recognized.

Some players who have received the Survivor Sia Award include Aurora McCreary from Edge of Extinction, Elaine Stott from Island of the Idols, and Owen Knight from Survivor 43 (in Fiji).

Fans routinely debate which players will or should receive Sia’s admiration in a given season.

Katurah Topps received $100,000 from Sia after appearing on Survivor 45.

Kaleb Gebrewold and Jake O’Kane each received $15,000 from Sia after Survivor 45.

Sia parties with Survivor 45 alums

Katurah Topps, Jake O’Kane, and Kaleb Gebrewold recently got to party with Sia.

Season 45 of CBS’s reality TV show “Survivor” will premiere on September 27, and (for the first time ever) each episode will be 90 minutes long. As usual, this Fall 2023 competition will strand 18 diverse castaways on a deserted island in Mamanuca Islands, Fiji, where they will initially be divided into three tribes. The players will compete in challenges for immunity and rewards, and they’ll vote each other out until only one remains as the $1 million winner.

This 45th installment was filmed in Spring 2023, presumably after the fresh cast members had watched the “Survivor 44” finale on their TVs, in which Yamil “Yam Yam” Arocho was crowned the champion. Reminder: Bruce Perreault was medically evacuated from that competition because he hurt his head at a challenge on Day 1, so host/producer...

Sia is about to hit a major milestone in her Survivor fandom. In 2016, after appearing on a reunion special for the reality show, the singer started giving money to its contestants. She told contestant Tai Trang she would donate $50,000 to him personally and another $50,000 to a charity of his choice — and she has continued the habit since.

In a recent Howard Stern interview, Survivor host Jeff Probst, who is friends with Sia, confirmed that she has been so generous that she has given away nearly $1 million.

“Next season, if she continues with her Sia prize,...

“Big Brother” fans are calling for the ouster of houseguest Luke Valentine, but not for his gameplay. The calls to get him out of the house in fact come after he casually dropped the N-word in conversation.

The moment was caught not during one of the episodes that air on CBS but on the Paramount+ live feed, which allows fans to monitor the Big Brother house basically 24/7. It came on Wednesday morning, as Valentine was talking to fellow contestants.

During the conversation, he explains, “We were in the f–ing room, n—-,” but catches himself immediately. He tried to laugh it off and correct himself with “dude,” but the word still rang pretty clear. You can watch it here.

Within hours, fans online began calling for Luke’s expulsion from the house for his conduct.

“Production should remove Luke. Set an example,” one person tweeted. “Show current and future...

When “Survivor” found itself nominated at this year’s Emmys in the Best Competition Program category (for the first time in 17 years), no one was more excited than the Tika Three. This fan-favorite alliance from “Survivor 44” is made up of winner Yamil “Yam Yam” Arocho, finalist Carolyn Wiger and fourth-place finisher Carson Garrett, aka the “Three Stooges.” Amazingly, Yam Yam “manifested” this Emmy Award nomination last summer while speaking with host/producer Jeff Probst on the island during filming. “Jeff laughed it off, and it happened!” Carson explains. Watch the exclusive video interview above.

“Survivor” has won seven total Emmys through the years: four for Probst as Best Reality Host (2008-11), plus one each for Best Cinematography (2010), Best Sound Mixing (2001) and Best Non-Fiction Program (2001) — the latter being a “Special Class” award that was handed out before the current competition category was established.

“I did not even know that it had been that long,...

The last time “Survivor” was nominated for Best Competition Program at the Emmys, George W. Bush was president, the Marvel Cinematic Universe wasn’t even a thing yet, and nobody had ever heard of Oscar “Ozzy” Lusth or Parvati Shallow. The year was 2006 and “Survivor” was up for its fourth consecutive Emmy bid (for Seasons 11-12). It lost once again to “The Amazing Race,” and was never nominated again. Until now … 17 years later.

Awards pundits everywhere were shocked on the morning of July 12 when “Survivor” was named as one of the five nominees at the 2023 Emmys. This marks the reality TV show’s fifth total nomination in Best Competition Program after contending in 2003, ’04, ’05 and ’06. (It won the award for Best Non-Fiction Special Class Program in 2001 before the current Emmy category was created.)

Usually at the Emmy Awards, when voters forget about you, they really forget about you.

There were a number of interesting castaways on Survivor season 44, and there are a few who should definitely get invited to play again. As with other "new era" seasons, the 44th installment featured a cast of 18 new players. They were divided into three tribes of six to start the season: Soka, Tika, and Ratu.

Ultimately, it was the Tika tribe who were the biggest factor of the season. The alliance of Tika members Yam Yam Arocho, Carson Garrett, and Carolyn Wiger stuck together until the end. Yam Yam emerged as the season's winner, with Carolyn coming in third place, and Carson in fourth. The season was well-received overall, especially when the show stopped introducing new twists, and the season 44 cast introduced several exciting players to the Survivor roster.

Matt Blankinship

Mostly known for his showmance with Frannie Marin, Matt was the victim of a poorly received twist that gave him no opportunity to save himself.

Some of Survivor's greatest players were strong contenders to win the game, and these "fallen angels" could've easily won their seasons with one lucky break. In the Survivor lexicon, the term, "fallen angel" refers to the last player eliminated before the Final Tribal Council, also becoming the season's final jury member. Often, they're considered one of their respective season's best overall players, but for one reason or another, they couldn't get the job done.

In old-school Survivor, the show had a Final Two instead of a Final Three, so the fallen angel was the player who received the sole vote from the final immunity challenge winner. Third place stopped being the typical fallen angel, when the show switched to its Final Three format, putting the fourth-place finisher in the fallen angel position. The format changed again with the introduction of Final Four Fire-Making. Not all fallen angels were great players,...

Survivor crowned its newest winner in the season 44 finale, and it was Yam Yam Arocho's social game that reigned supreme when the dust settled. Yam Yam is a 36-year-old salon owner from San Juan, Puerto Rico. Yam Yam's victory makes him the first resident of a U.S. territory to win the game.

Yam Yam's game capped off a dominant run by the Tika Three alliance. Also known as the "Three Stooges," the original Tika members of Yam Yam, Carolyn Wiger, and Carson Garrett succesfully played the middle throughout the post-merge game and wedged themselves into the Final Four. Ultimately, it was Yam Yam, Carolyn, and Heidi Lagares-Greenblatt in the Final Three, with Yam Yam emerging as the decisive victor.

Yam Yam Arocho Is One Of Survivor’s Best Social Players

In comparison to his fellow Survivor winners, it's easy to rank Yam Yam as among the elite social players to win the game.

The season finale “Survivor 44” aired on Wednesday night and concluded with host Jeff Probst crowning a new millionaire in Yamil “Yam Yam” Arocho. The 36-year old from Puerto Rico defeated Heidi Lagares-Greenblatt and Carolyn Wiger after swaying the jury to believe he was the most deserving of the title of sole survivor. So for the final time this season, we look back at the dumbest, most shocking and most exciting moments of this memorable finale.

There are no cheap thrills for Sia — at least when it comes to being a “Survivor” superfan. After Wednesday’s “Survivor” season 44 finale, the celebrated songstress showed just how generous she really is by dolling out some cash to a few of her favourite contestants that came up just short of the show’s grand prize.

On Thursday, Sia surprised Carolyn Wiger, Carson Garrett and Lauren Harpe with some nifty consolation prizes after they all made it to the season 44 finale, but wound up going home empty handed.

Yamil “Yam Yam” Arocho was crowned the “Sole Survivor” — and earned $1 million for his efforts – and Heidi Lagares-Greenblatt came in second place, and thus took home the $100,000 runner-up prize.

However, Wiger, Garrett and Harpe came in third, fourth and fifth respectively, meaning they essentially walked away empty handed. To take that sting away a bit, Sia swopped in with some whopping cash prizes of her own.

Pop singer Sia has once again taken her “Survivor” fandom to the next level by gifting $130,000 to her three favorite Season 44 contestants.

After Wednesday’s finale brought the latest season of the CBS reality competition series to a close, Sia presented second runner-up Carolyn Wiger with $100,000 and third and fourth runner-ups Carson Garrett and Lauren Harpe with $15,000 each.

The “Chandelier” performer crashed Pop Crave’s video interview with Harpe to notify her of the prize, leaving her shocked and confused before revealing her identity.

“I’m sorry to interrupt, I just wanted to say that I love you, Lauren, and I wanted to tell you that you’re awesome, and I really felt the struggle for you and your kids and stuff,” Sia said in the video.

Sia loves watching Survivor so much that she has been giving away her money to the show’s contestants since 2016. This year, following last night’s finale, she has decided to reward Carolyn Wiger (the season’s second runner up) with $100,000, Carson Garrett (who placed just after Wiger) with $15,000, and Lauren Harpe (who followed Garrett) with $15,000, according to PopCrave.

The final episode of Survivor did not disappoint in delivering a climatic, tense ending. Heading into the last episode of the 44th season of the reality competition series, there were five people remaining: Lauren Harpe, Carson Garrett, Carolyn Wiger, Heidi Lagares-Greenblatt, and Yam Yam Arocho. By the time the episode concluded, only one was left as the sole survivor. With two Immunity Challenges looming and a fire-making challenge to boot, there was always going to be an intense finale. What ended up transpiring was exactly that as Yam Yam navigated his way to victory without winning any of the three aforementioned challenges. Regardless, Yam Yam was the most deserving contestant to win on this season for a variety of reasons.

*Caution: Spoilers for Survivor season 44 ahead!*

Survivor crowned its newest winner on Wednesday, marking the conclusion of the show’s wild and exciting 44th season.

Of the 18 castaways who began competition in March, only five remained ahead of this week’s finale episode: Heidi Lagares-Greenblatt, Carson Garrett, Yamil “Yam Yam” Arocho, Lauren Harpe and Carolyn Wiger.

The three-hour conclusion covered the group’s final three days of competition, as the field was whittled down until the jury voted for the “sole survivor.” After all the votes were cast, Yam Yam wound up walking away with the well-earned win.

After an impressive season of strategic gameplay, some of the best social gameplay in recent memory, and an impressive display to the jury, the 36-year-old salon owner from San Juan, Puerto Rico, took home the show’s $1 million grand prize.

Arocho spoke to Entertainment Weekly ahead of the season’s start about...

After months of life-threatening injuries, fake birdcage idols and cutthroat betrayals, the Top 5 contestants of “Survivor 44” entered the final stage of competition on Wednesday night. The original Tike tribe came into finale night with a hefty numbers advantage as they still had three players compared to one each for Ratu (Lauren Harpe) and Soka (Heidi Lagares-Greenblatt). So which castaway ended up being anointed as the latest $1 million winner by host Jeff Probst?

Who will win “Survivor 44”? The current season will wrap up on Wednesday, May 24 on CBS with a three-hour episode that crowns the winner from among the Final 5 castaways. All season long, Gold Derby readers made their “Survivor” winner predictions for which contestant they thought would go the distance and claim the $1 million grand prize. Below, see a snapshot in time of our racetrack odds for the Season 44 finale.

As of this writing, the last remaining players are Yamil “Yam Yam” Arocho, Carolyn Wiger, Carson Garrett, Heidi Lagares-Greenblatt and Lauren Harpe. While Carolyn topped our winner’s chart for much of the preceding weeks, Yam Yam has taken the lead in the final stretch, per our users. Will Yam Yam turn on his former Tika allies, Carolyn and Carson, in order to impress the jury? He floated the idea last week, but ultimately decided not to. Stay tuned!

Here are the...

It’s the final stretch of “Survivor 44.” With only five contestants remaining, there is a lot of room left for maneuvering alliances, immunity wins and blindsides to getting to the final tribal council and pleading your case for winning the million dollar prize. As it stands, the three Tika members are looking pretty strong for the end and with all of them still intact, it is a certainty that at least one of them will make the Final 3, possibly all three. But there is also a good chance that one or both of the two women from the other tribes will join them. So who will win the season on Wednesday, May 24? Read on as we break down the winner odds of the last five contestants of the game.

The strongest winner odds looks to be Yamil “Yam Yam” Arocho with 22/25, according to the combined Gold Derby users. Originally a...

The finale of Survivor Season 44 looms.

There's no denying this season has been chaotic, with one of the best all-around casts we've seen in years.

There may have been a few too many advantages and idols that interfered with the natural flow of the game, and some that didn't have any effect at all, some that were teases that left the game unceremoniously without a payoff.

But that's the "reality" part of a reality show -- even with heavy involvement on the production side (some might say interference), you can't deny that it's been entertaining.

Let's take a look at the Final Five and compare their chances of winning.

There's only one episode left of Survivor season 44, and the finale has the potential to be an all-time great showdown. After the elimination of Jaime Lynn Ruiz in the penultimate episode, there are five players left in contention heading into the finale. There are the Tika Three alliance of Carolyn Wiger, Carson Garrett, and Yam Yam Arocho, as well as free agents Lauren Harpe and Heidi Lagares-Greenblatt.

The Tika Three, also known as the "Three Stooges," have been an unstoppable force in the game. They expertly played the other two tribal alliances against each other after the merge, and they were able to make enough social inroads with their competitors to keep the target off of themselves. Despite coming into the merge with only three members, at least one of them is guaranteed a seat at the Final Tribal Council.

Survivor 44’s Tika Alliance Could All Make It To The...

There's only one episode of Survivor season 44 remaining, and there are five castaways set to duke it out in the finale. After a dramatic episode that saw Jaime Lynn Ruiz be voted out in sixth place, a strong group of contestants remains in contention for the million dollar prize. They include Carolyn Wiger, Carson Garrett, Heidi Lagares-Greenblatt, Lauren Harpe, and Yam Yam Arocho.

The trio of Carolyn, Carson, and Yam Yam have dominated the post-merge game. All come from the Tika tribe. Survivor 44's "Three Stooges" alliance has managed to make it all the way to the finale, despite being clear threats from early after the merge. Lauren and Heidi have had a less successful run in the game, and now they face the challenge of going against the Tika Three in the finale. Only one player can win, though, and some members of the Final Five have a better...

The 12th episode of “Survivor 44” aired Wednesday night and concluded with Jaime Lynn Ruiz getting her torch snuffed out by host Jeff Probst.

Top 4 Moments of “Survivor 44” Episode 12:

1. Return to Camp: When everyone returned to camp, there was an odd sense of calm.

On Wednesday’s 12th episode of “Survivor 44,” the Tika three stuck together and gained a new ally in Heidi Lagares-Greenblatt. Together they all voted to send home Jaime Lynn Ruiz, whose exuberant spirit remained until the bitter end. “Oh my gosh! I’m so grateful to make the Top 6. This is a huge accomplishment,” she stated after leaving the game. Read on for Jaime’s “Survivor 44” exit interview from the end of the episode.

But Jaime’s confessional soon turned uncomfortably awkward, as she once again brought up her fake immunity idol that she believed to be real. “Finding an idol, that was one of my number-one goals and I’m so grateful,” she declared. “I am proud of myself for overcoming so many fears. I can do anything at this point. I had so much fun playing my favorite game in the entire world.”

One contestant who hasn’t gotten her fair share of screen time so far during “Survivor 44” is Lauren Harpe. But in a newly released sneak peek video, the 31-year-old educator from Texas delivers a confessional that’s all about her innermost feelings on quirky castaway Carolyn Wiger. Above, watch the clip before the 12th episode, “I’m the Bandit,” airs Wednesday, May 17 on CBS.

In the promo video, Lauren and Carolyn are searching for a hidden immunity idol in the jungle after Carolyn played hers for Carson Garrett at the prior tribal council. “We saw something at the top of this tree over here,” Lauren informs Carolyn. However, a suspicious Carolyn then wonders aloud, “Are you luring me? Is there a trap?”

It’s Day 20 at the Va Va camp and Carolyn is reflecting on how she yelled at allies Yamil “Yam Yam” Arocho and Carson Garrett for not filling her in on the Frannie vote. She tells the camera, “My strategy waking up this morning after tribal was like, I need to get out of this funk.” Carolyn tries to center herself by sitting by the beach and looking out at the water.

Carolyn admits, “I was a little rude” when she yelled at Yam Yam and Carson, her fellow “three amigos” from the Tika camp.

A popular trio called the "Three Stooges" alliance has taken control on Survivor 44, and it seems that they might be in it for the long haul. The alliance of Yam Yam Arocho, Carson Garrett, and Carolyn Wiger formed in the early stages of the game. All three players began the game on the Tika tribe, and although it wasn't always smooth sailing, they became the last three original Tika in the game when the merge came.

Survivor season 44 castaways Yam Yam, Carson, and Carolyn are each unique personalities with different backgrounds. Carson, a self-described "nerd," is a 20-year-old NASA engineering student. Yam Yam is an outgoing salon owner from Puerto Rico, and Carolyn is a single mom and drug counselor from Minnesota. Because of their eccentric sensibilities, the trio took to calling their alliance the "Three Stooges."

On Wednesday’s 11th episode of “Survivor 44,” Danny Massa cut the mission to find out who cast a vote against him short, believing it to have been a member of Tika. That belief led him down a path to targeting Yamil “Yam Yam” Arocho for the vote, but Yam Yam brought together the former Ratu members to oust Danny instead. Read on for his “Survivor 44” exit interview from the end of the episode.

For Danny, the vote should have been simple. With two Soka, two Ratu and three Tika in the game, the four non-Tika were supposed to align together to take out Yam Yam or Carson Garrett. Everyone was on board to take out Yam Yam, until he won his first immunity challenge and had safety. When the vote turned to Carson, the plan was still on, but Jaime Lynn Ruiz and Lauren Harpe were swayed by Tika to take out Danny instead.

Following this week’s elimination of Danny Massa, the final six contestants of “Survivor 44” have been named, and four of them are women: Carolyn Wiger, Heidi Lagares-Greenblatt, Jaime Lynn Ruiz and Lauren Harpe. The other two remaining players are Yamil “Yam Yam” Arocho and Carson Garrett, aka Carolyn’s fellow “three amigos” from the original Tika tribe. So will a woman win “Survivor 44”?

Since the new era of CBS’s reality TV show began with the Covid-delayed 41st season, two of the three winners have been female (Erika Casupanan in “Survivor 41” and Maryanne Oketch in “Survivor 42”), bucking the usual trend of men receiving the $1 million check. To date, 17 seasons of “Survivor” were won by women, compared to a whopping 26 cycles dominated by men. Last year, Mike Gabler was the champion of “Survivor 43,” the only...

Heading into the 11th episode of “Survivor 44,” the original Tika tribe was sitting pretty at a leading three members, compared to just two each for the original Ratu tribe (Lauren Harpe and Jaime Lynn Ruiz) and the original Soka tribe (Heidi Lagares-Greenblatt and Danny Massa). So who ended up having their torch snuffed by host Jeff Probst on Wednesday night?

Perhaps Carolyn’s best move so far was acquiring the birdcage idol in the pre-merge portion of the game and not telling a single person about it. Indeed, she didn’t even spill the beans...

CBS has released a “Survivor 44” deleted scene that takes place on Day 18 at the Va Va camp, and it’s a doozy. After Frannie Marin wins reward and takes Lauren Harpe, Heidi Lagares-Greenblatt and Carolyn Wiger with her to the Survivor Sanctuary, the other four players back at camp talk advantages. When Carson Garrett admits he’s “not good at” finding things, Danny Massa brags, “You guys have seen me. I’ve been looking.”

We then get quick-cuts of Danny searching for advantages in the jungle as he tearfully narrates, “The lack of food? It sucks. Really not fair. I feel like I could have been over there instead of … looking for this idol, dawg!” The 32-year-old New York firefighter bursts out laughing as he holds up the red triangular amulet, confirming his tears weren’t real.

On Wednesday’s 10th episode of “Survivor 44,” Frannie Marin felt the “renegade excitement” of not having protection at Tribal Council for the first time. Her two previous immunity challenge wins and another win at the reward put a target on her back that even her previous Soka allies were too intimidated by to let her remain in the game. Read on for her “Survivor 44” exit interview from the end of the episode.

The vote against Frannie began with Danny Massa putting her name on the table to the other three players that were not picked by her to partake in the reward. The challenge win was Frannie’s third out of five in the individual stage of the game and that made Danny nervous that she could be unbeatable in the end. Having never worked with Lauren Harpe from Ratu in a strategic way, Danny built the bridge and kept...
