Charlie is still so hurt by Maria. I would be too, especially if she can't even own up to her decisions. I hope to see Charlie & Ben maintain their relationship.

Charlie was sooooo screwed over. Ben admitted he would have voted Charlie in the end to win. Marya was just salty!

Charlie was ROBBED. It's ok for Maria to vote him out but not ok for Charlie when he voted her out. I hope we see Charlie play again.

Maria always came across as someone who thought they were better than everyone. She probably didn’t want to admit charlie played a good game. She thought it was all her calling the shots not Charlie

I’m not hating on Kenzie, but Charlie was the clear winner of this season: strong social game, good strategist, very good in challenges, etc. Maria voting against him was one of the lamest things I’ve seen on Survivor in a while. Also, it drives me crazy that Survivor players continually vote out “challenge threats” during the game, and then turn around and give Finalists NOOOOO credit whatsoever for being good in challenges (Kenzie might as well have not competed in challenges).

Realy felt for Charlie in the aftershow... he looked so dejected n despondent. Survivor needs to do the separate Full Reunion show for an hour. The Fans need proper answers to understand the edited version of survivor. 😢

Turns out Venus was right all along. She saw it before anybody else did. She deserves to be back on the show for her skill in reading people.

Charlie is a "Class Act" 👍🏿Maria was definitely a bitter player. Kudos to Charlie for being so dignified despite what & how things materialized. The blessings will come Charlie!

Charlie you’re a Survivor legend

I would respect Maria a hell of a lot more if she could just own up to her actual reason for her vote. The fire making thing is such a blatant lie. Almost as unbelievable as when she tried to convince Charlie that the other three players forced her to vote for him, when those three voted with him against Q.

Damn this was my favorite of all the exit interviews. You didn't hold back on this one Gordon! Giving us the answers we need.

Charlie was so close to winning. I think he was closer to winning than Domenick. That sucks.

Gordon, I always enjoy your exit interviews with contestants the most because I feel like you really get to the heart of the matter and ask the questions that we are looking for, while never overstepping. Charlie, you played an amazing game and displayed remarkable strength and integrity of character - hope to see you on S50!!

Charlie definitely played the best game. I can't believe he didn't get Maria's vote!? MacKenzie still played a really good game so at least we got a decent winner. But no doubt the votes when way different than I was expecting

Charlie was clearly the best player. Maria did the bitter revenge vote.

Gordon keeps it real. Always love his style and humor. Charlie was very honest and I appreciate that from him. Charlie, if you're reading, I hope what you experienced months ago, and now very recently will strengthen and build you up to be a more resilient person when it comes to the real working world where even more crazy b.s. can happen. You're going to make a great lawyer! Good luck if/when you get invited again to play Survivor!

First robbed finalist of the new era.

I love Charlie so much. It is rare that I feel like a player was truly robbed, because the jury is always right. But in this case, Charlie was 100% robbed by a hypocrite.

I think it even more now than I did after watching the episode last night. Maria is DISGUSTING for what she did to him

Charlie has been a class act! I appreciate his insight and it’s obvious Maria wasn’t genuine. Venus had Maria’s demeanor correct!

Heartbreaking interview but he was masterful. Thanks for handling it so sensitively, Gordon.

I’m just imagining Maria watching the show with a notepad looking for new reasons she can tell Charlie why she didn’t vote for him. Like thanks, wonder why you’re just bringing that up now😂

Charlie is a class act!!

Possibly the most robbed finalist of all time just for the bitterness and terrible reasoning from the jury. He played a great game. I have no problem with Kenzie winning, but this guy should’ve at least forced a tie. Extremely disappointing end to the season. Also terrible to see and hear about the belittling of his game from Tiffany at ponderosa and during final tribal. So distasteful from her and Maria.

Maria you are a hypocrite

you are one of the new era greats, charlie! definitely deserved the W. wish u the best.

I would also want to play like charlie

Charlie, you’re a bigger person than Maria! Her true colors came out towards the end; I wonder if she has trouble looking in the mirror. You’re such a wonderful young man….good luck to you! 🥰

Great game Charlie! Would love to see you return to play again. ❤🇨🇦❤️ The weight loss that you endured was jaw dropping.

Charlie may not have gotten Maria’s vote in the end but he definitely has mine

Even if maria is being truthful that the look in kenzie’s eye during fire convinced her. That is a problem. How is making a fire a game-winning move? It’s almost like it’s become bigger than winning the immunity. I hate that fire challenge so much

Bring Charlie back for 50! One of the best to have not won!

It's a shame Maria's vote turned Charlie into a bigger Aubry than Aubry ever was and Kenzie into a bigger Michele than Michele ever was 😂

Charlie fails to realize that Maria separated from him and moved towards q and that should have been his first clue...

Great interview!!

oh charlie, don't evaluate her just based on how she was with you but rather how she was with everyone.. and you can do that now watching the show back. sometimes we just get people wrong..

CHARLIE WAS ROBBEDDDDD

It’s the fire challenge too that’s part of the problem. Somehow by not competing in it you run the risk of losing jury votes, which basically means the immunity challenge is useless since it’s too dangerous not to win yourself

Charlie you are a true winner! The real winner of S46 - No disrespect to Kenzie but the rationale "reasons" given by Q and Ma-TwoFace-ria giving the money had nothing to do with "outwit, outlast, outplay" and were specific to her actual life and business etc. Extremely disappointing that Charlie clearly played a better game in Survivor 46 and was robbed by his no1 who turned out to be a very selfish and poor loser. Charlie will return! as a HERO and Maria the challenge beast will be back as a Villain. haha Loved Charlie description of her "wish washy"

Kenzie was my winner pick but Charlie should have won 🏆

Maria was so disingenuous. She was bitter that Charlie voted her out even though she tried to do the same to him. She would have expected his vote after voting him out, but wouldn't give him her vote because she wanted revenge. She showed her true colors in so many instances on the show. Venus was right in calling out Maria's character regarding the farce she pulled when she said she wanted to pick the person who most needed to eat to go on the reward with her and then made them play rock, paper, scissors. She comes off as a liar and a hypocrite who will not own up to what is so obviously pettiness.

Charlie need to get Sia money 😢

The thing that hurts is if Maria had voted for Charlie, it would’ve been a tie and that would’ve made Ben had to decide between Charlie and Kenzie. It would’ve been difficult for Ben but Charlie would’ve had a 50% chance of winning instead of a 33.3% chance

Maria sounds like a gaslighter

Several interviews later.. I agree with theories that maria was secretly salty with Charlie which was the underlying reason why she was so open to voting for Kenzie..

Bitter much Maria??? Love Charlie!!!

Charlie has to be the closest to winning other than Dom

Gutted that Charlie didn't win!

In simple win equity terms, Charlie needed to eliminate the third person and just sit with the #4 and #5 in order to win. From Charlie's perspective, he was the clear #2 (or maybe #1) at the final 5. He did right by eliminating the #1 at 5, but he needed to push to eliminate who he saw as #3 at the final 4. It's a huge risk to leave that person in the game, because the top 3 always share a lot more of the win equity than viewers give them credit for. The frontrunner is almost never 90% to win against #2 or #3, it's usually more like 33% each for the top 3, 1% for 4 and 0% for 5, then 2 of the top 3 split the other's equity when they eliminate that player at final 5 and are neck and neck at 4. Charlie wasn't actually the frontrunner based on expected jury votes as reported in the aftershow, but even if he thought he was, I think it was a misread to think he had so much more win equity than the #3 player as to think he could walk in to a win without the #4 and #5 sitting next to him. If he thinks he has a better than 60% chance of beating Kenzie in fire, that needs to be his move at 4 because it results in a 100% victory. Edit: Depending on how likely he thinks Kenzie is to beat Liz at fire*. If he thinks Liz has a drcent chance and that he's slightly ahead if not, it makes not beating her himself *better*, but still a big risk that is reasonable to not have paid off.

WISHY WASHY!!!! Charlie gagged me with that one!

Maria voted for Kenzi bc of fire lol.

I think there are similarities in Charlie and Cassidy's game and the reason why they lost

Awww, hugs Charlie! 🫂 U played the best game of the season imo! Luv u man! Hope u get Sia money and another chance someday! 🫶🏾
