It wouldn’t be a season of Survivor if followers weren’t on social media speaking in regards to the edit. Forward of the finale, there’s all the time a number of the most hardcore amongst us pointing to confessional counts or narrative constructions to elucidate why they’ve deduced a specific contestant is clearly going to win. This time, nonetheless, issues really feel slightly bit totally different as hundreds of followers are pointing to the finale preview and questioning if the present unintentionally gave slightly an excessive amount of away.
We’re going to speak actually explicitly about what some followers assume the preview exhibits; so, if you wish to go into the finale with none of this noise, then go forward and bail on the article. It might include spoilers. It might not include spoilers. We simply don’t know, and when you’re the kind of one who doesn’t need that working by way of your head, you’re not gonna need to learn any additional.
Good? Now that we’re all right here, let’s speak about this much-discussed preview. Extra particularly, let’s speak about two issues the preview appears to point out. The first and most blatant one is Kamilla with the Immunity Necklace. It’s not even hidden or within the background someplace. The preview actually provides us a shot of her speaking into the digital camera whereas sporting the necklace. The second is much much less apparent and is a shot of the jury strolling into tribal council, and when you squint intently, it seems like Mitch is strolling in with the jury. You possibly can try the preview in query under, which truly accommodates a spoiler warning from the YouTube account that put it up…
Many Survivor followers are satisfied each of those spoilers are precisely as they appear, and so they have unfold very broadly amongst the fanbase. There are a great deal of tweets speaking about them, one of which has more than a thousand likes. There are Reddit threads covering the topic, stuffed with feedback from followers who consider the spoilers, and there are many articles going round in regards to the seemingly unlucky enhancing mistake.
However does that imply they’re for certain true? Not essentially. Let’s begin with the half about Kamilla profitable the Immunity Idol. She received the necklace earlier within the season; so, there’s actually a chance this footage was recorded throughout a confessional following that victory. It additionally appears ridiculous to assume the editors would so openly give away a significant plot growth. It could be like placing the killer with apparent blood on his fingers within the trailer of a horror film. It’s simply so aggressively in your face that I don’t know if I can consider it.
However why would they slap in footage from one thing that occurred a lot earlier within the season into this week’s preview? That looks like a bizarre enhancing selection, and whereas the quote she’s saying is attention-grabbing, it’s not so groundbreaking that it could make sense to incorporate a very long time after she stated it. So, that makes me assume this might legitimately be a spoiler.
Now, the second attainable spoiler is one which makes extra sense to me. There’s not a transparent shot of Mitch strolling with the jury into tribal council. There’s a short flash the place you’ll be able to kinda sorta see Mitch within the background strolling in with the remainder of the jurors. That feels just like the kind of factor an editor simply might have missed, and given Mitch has mainly been on the backside of the alliance because the starting, he’s a possible candidate to be the sufferer of some type of compromise vote. So, I’m not saying he’s for certain going house in fifth place, however I’m very prepared to purchase that spoiler.
Regardless, I don’t actually get what the editors are doing right here. Survivor is among the most obsessed about exhibits on tv. Fans all the time pour over these upcoming previews to attempt to collect info. The present is aware of that by this level. So, both they threw this collectively on the final minute and didn’t vet it correctly or the editors are deliberately making an attempt to confuse followers with a misleading edit, although precisely why they’d do that’s unclear.
I don’t suspect we’ll have a definitive reply on what’s true and what’s not till the finale airs tonight on CBS. Survivor 48 will attain its conclusion throughout a particular prolonged episode tonight, and it’ll be attention-grabbing to see what the response is. Fans have been way more unfavourable about this season than any we’ve gotten in current reminiscence. In reality, you may in all probability argue that the castaways’ collective unwillingness to activate Joe has been essentially the most negatively obtained plot level because the notorious Hourglass Twist everybody hated.
Happily, no matter what occurs and whether or not or not these spoilers wind up being true, followers are nonetheless very fired up for Season 50. The present is bringing again all returning gamers, and followers (and former gamers themselves) have been in overdrive speculating about which of their favorites are going to return again. We’ll get that reveal later this month, together with the primary tease for Survivor 49.
