Translation: maria was bitter she lost, and decided if she couldnt win neither would her number 1. Maria was a snake.

My dislike for Maria started when she made Q and Liz do Rock/Paper/Scissors. Then, being jealous that Charlie beat her. Poor sport Maria!

Charlie, I respect your character. You showed so much class and continue to do so.

People would respect Maria more, if she just said I was bitter and didn’t want Charlie to win.

I never liked Maria. I always felt there was something fake about her relationship with Charlie. I hope they don’t bring her back… never ever.

Maria says it was unfair that Liz helped Kenzie win the immunity challenge. So she doesn't respect Kenzie's game play, but she still voted for her to win based on how she's going to spend the million dollars. 🤔🤔

The fact that Maria sees it as "well I'm sure he feels bad but it wasn't just me, I'm one of 5 people who didnt vote for him....." speaks loud. How can she not take their bond into account? He did not have that bond with the other 4 people and she was the only one who had given him the expectation of loyalty. This gives me the ick.

Charlie played the best… happy for Kinsey. Disappointed in Maria

Charlie is now a Lawyer. I bet he's got future clients that are already lining up to work with him. He'll earn a million in his life before he's 30 ... and I pray he'll never look back at Maria's betrayal and her vindictive spirit. She has to live with herself and from these days forward, her reputation is tainted for her own behavior choices.

I have no words for Maria, I’m more tired of jury members basing their vote solely on who needs the money more, if you want to use that as a tie breaker fine but when you have people like Q saying that because she needed the money the most I gave it to her, then why play the game at all, just give it to the person who needed it the most. I mean I don’t think people want to watch an entire season see one person clearly play the best game and then they lose because they are pre law?? It’s an issue. Also one thing nobody is saying is if Maria gets to final 3 she probably wins, so thank god she didn’t get there because seeing who she was on the show I would’ve been more upset with that.

Maria stabbed Charlie in the back when she promised him he’d always have her vote at the end. Liar, liar and although she wanted her boys to be proud of the game she played and the majority was great, this last final act defined her in my opinion as this is what everyone will remember. Just bitter at Charlie getting her out and she made him pay in the end. Charlie wouldnt have done that to her. Just very sad decision on Maria’s part. I have ZERO respect for her now.

Much respect for Charlie! No Respect for Maria!

Maria was a snake, bitter, selfish person. I stopped liking her after she refused to give Liz food, when she hasn't eaten anything.

I have zero respect for Maria. She was about as genuine as a rock. Charlie has SO much more integrity.

I wantedCharlie to win so bad

Maria is Jelly!!! This isn’t about what you do with the money!!!This is who won!!!! Not who has the worst life. I love Kenzy too. But Charlie got screwed. Maria is a BEETATHCH Just think of Maria was in the final and Charlie voted for someone else she would be so pissed

I don’t think Maria was telling the truth why she didn’t vote for Charlie. I think she was mad when he said he was going to vote her off.

Maria said she was playing to be a good example for her children. She taught them that loyalty is worthless.

We saw Maria's true colors, and I would never trust anything she says.

Maria is a game player in real life and this was just an extension of that. Charlie mentioned having to distance himself from her after the show to protect his mental health because she was still gaming him.

Charlie lost because Maria was mad about the loved one letters. She was vindictive!

Just remember how she turned a food reward into GoT!! Then, the nerve to cry when she’s not picked by Charlie. You know she was fuming that Charlie Got her b4 she got him. Mariah is a Mom? Yikes. Better not piss her off. 😰

I wouldn't be her friend

You don't need a snake for a friend

I hope Taylor Swift sees this and perhaps help Charlie out or invite him to her show.

Maria was a major snake. She is just mad because she realized how Charlie started painting her as a threat and like he said, he picked up people whom she threw under the bus basically. Everyone said he followed her game, but he sort of used her as a shield to be a mastermind behind things. His strategy and game play was just as good as Kenzie's but in a different way. I am also pretty sure there was other challenges where someone helped someone else, maybe even from a different team. I thought there was a season just a few seasons ago when a team helped another team to get rid of someone else. These things have happened on Survivor.

Charliieee 😢. You are a Class Act, Period ❤. Jeff Probst and CBS MUST give you a 2nd $Million as they did for Rupert. You and Kenzie are sooo deserving. Both wonderful players. Here is 🤗 from a Fan 🪭 of yours. Love ya kiddo.

Insane that Maria just tried to turn the story that she realized she was “alone on an island” during the Q vote… Oh, you mean the vote where YOU WERE TRYING TO VOTE OUT CHARLIE?! The delusion, hypocrisy and manipulation is palpable. The funny thing is I actually believed she has partially pure motives in voting for Kenzie, and then I hear her try to paint the story as though Charlie went after her first and left her “all alone”…. So sad for him. I hope Charlie plays again and wins it all. He played a near perfect game in my opinion and I’m a harsh critic.

Ok let's get one thing straight. Yes, Maria is allowed to vote for whoever she wants, but clearly, her reasoning for it is out of jealousy for Charlie. If because Charlie wanted to vote her out, she clearly wanted to vote Charlie out before and it backfired on her so she was embarrassed about it. That's survivor. But to vote for someone because of fire in their eyes and what they will do with the money is entirely stupid. Jeff, please change the game, change the way people are voted. Find great survivor fans and give them the criteria for how to vote. Just saying...try something in the new era. You keep changing things, maybe change the scoring. I still don't think you should have changed "Come on in guys"!! Guys has also always been used in a generic way. Why change it now?

I hope Taylor Swift writes a song called 'Come on in, CHARLIE'

I am on team Charlie here.For Maria to throw away what they accomplished as a duo in the game and decide that because I saw a fire in Kenzie eyes while making fire is a lot of bs.

Maria sucks she didn't keep her word till the end

Charlie I hope you get to play again you showed a lot of maturity and integrity in how you composed yourself on and off the show and that shows a lot about your character. I also hope you get a backstage pass to a T. Swift concert lol! Good luck always be a man of integrity as you become a lawyer fight for the little guy and those who need someone to fight and have a voice for them when they can't fight for themselves!! Good Luck on your future endeavors!

She thought loosing a friend was worth the vote

People like Maria ruin the show. No point in watching the whole show if they only base the winner on what the money is for.. Besides, she must think we are all idiots.. its obvious that all her excuses are BS

O yea the fire in Kenzie's eyes when she struggled to make fire. Charlie mentioned it took so long to make fire that he thought Jeff was going to pull out matches. That is what swayed you?

So she pretty much discarded 26 days of being with Charlie for the fire making challenge. I dont buy it but congrats to Kenzie. As you can see the animosity towards Maria has been pretty strong.

Charlie played a better game. Maria was bitter.

Funny that she felt she could win because she had a strong, virtually flawless game, yet she voted for someone who had one compelling event (fire) and she like her reasons for what she would do with the money, Had Maria went to jury vote, how would she feel if someone else won instead of her for those same reason. Ponder that Maria, and think about what you did to Charlie.

Maria changed her story on when she decided to vote for Kenzie 3 times in interviews. First time she decided not to vote for Charlie was when she was voted off, she said she wasn't voting on friendship (Charlie) who played the best game. 2nd time she said it was because of the fire making she decided to vote for Kenzie and then on US Weekly she said she was walking up the stair debating Kenzie Charlie Kenzie Charlie. So, if that story was true, she still hadn't made up her mind. I believe those are all lies because I believe when she was voted off her feeling and saying I'm not voting for the winner based on friendship were her true feelings and bitterness towards Charlie. I knew then she would not be voting for him to win, and I was correct.

Don't worry y'all Charlie will be back for season 50. That's not a prediction, that's a spoiler.

Charlie deserved to win...It's about game play not your life story I'm sorry. Love Kenzie but Charlie deserved the win.

Charlie and Kenzie are both really good player. I root for Kenzie, so I'm glad she won, but I also hope that Charlie can play again in the future so that he can have his second chance.

Trust is the base of a friendship! It was offered but not honor it!

Salon owners like Kenzie and Yam Yam laughing all the way to the bank how they can manipulate people 😎

Maria we saw your face and it was a disconnect with the fire excuse

Charlie is just so lovely. I love how he is honest about his feelings about Maria - can't stand when people say it's all fine etc... This wasn't fine, and though he Is respectful of her, I am glad he has decided at this moment to be honest about not continuing a friendship. Was shocked that even during FTC, she low-key put him down. Was also shocked that she didn't take Liz for food - that was worse than what Q did. She doesn't come across as a nice lady at all.

Maria made her voting rationale all about herself. It was essentially “well I voted for Kenzie because she’s the most like ME”. She just highlighted Kenzie “being selfish” and “doing something for herself” for once and just circled it back to how that relates to her own life. Someone doesn’t have to live the same life story as you to be deserving of the money and title and I feel like that highlights of bit of self absorption in Maria. Also for her to say that she hopes a friendship can continue is kinda ridiculous. I feel like she isn’t grasping the depth of that betrayal and the impact of going back on a promise she made to him. She said that she was crying at watching herself get eliminated, how do you think she’d react if she were one vote away from winning and Charlie didn’t vote for her? I don’t think she’d take it so well based on how seriously she took the game.

If Maria ever plays again, it would be a wasted selection. She will be a very early boot. She has shown in spaids that she has no loyalty to her allies. I can't see her finding ANYBODY that would work with her. She shouldn't be asked back just to be voted out immediately.

Maria was a villain, an amazing one at that. They kinda foreshadowed it. At the end of the day she earned her jury vote and she can vote however she likes, so I don't agree with people telling her how she 'should' have voted. That being said if she had voted Charlie and got a tie that would've been great TV and lowkey wish it happened

Charlie is a class act! ❤

Charlie's mistake was he stuck in Maria's shadow for too long. If he kept Venus earlier or brought her final 3, he could have won.

Kenzie cheated in the challenge, which should have never been allowed in the first place. Remember when they tried to do that Ozzy, back in the Ozzy vs Coach redemption island season? Jeff put a stop to that immediately, but now its ok? So I was shocked when Maria voted for Kenzie of all people, very disappointing to see cheating rewarded like that.

Maria was so salty. I’m glad she didn’t win. Charlie should have won and had her vote. Charlie played an amazing game and if Maria was up there Charlie would have voted for her.

Charlie lost yeah But kezie also played a good game her tribe from the get go was always in trouble so to make it to end is great Its not so bad vs other seasons were players who won didnt deserve it all Kenzie deserves her win If maria playes again she be the first to go no one will trus her

Charlie is such a class act, this was such a raw and real explanation.

Maria did not vote for Charlie as she was pissed that her plan to vote out Charlie failed and instead Charlie was able to vote out Q and Marie, MARIA WAS A SORE LOSER PERIOD. Thee was always something in her eyes that it is like a dagger. Charlie was classy and should have won, Charlie is graceful!

Maria was my favorite, but if that’s how she treats “family” I can only imagine how she treats others.

There is absolutely nothing Maria can say that will make me believe she voted Kenzie out of anything but bitterness for Charlie and her not winning. If the shoe was on the other foot, I don't think there is even a 1% change Charlie wouldn't vote for her. I don't think what they are going to do with the money should matter in picking a winner. They played a game. That's what should have mattered. This 100% came down to her telling herself if she can't win, Charlie can't either. And it sucks, because up until that point, I really respected her game and I don't blame her being a little bitter. She probably deserved to win, but that's not Charlie's fault. No loyalty.

All of Maria’s answers sound rehearsed

"kenzie had fire in her eyes!"!?? Cuz she literally was looking at fire!

her not voting for charlie has overshadowed her own game this season. so she dig a hole for herself

Charlie you're so amazing. Im sorry you didn't win but I hope you have a successful life all the same

So Maria made her choice to vote for Kenzie because of reasons not at all about the game

I never liked Maria at all. At the end of the game, Charlie was who I thought would and should win, but I wish Hunter had stayed longer. Such a good guy.

I thought Maria was fake after only a couple of episodes. And being 66 I have had a lot of practice figuring out weird coworkers personalities over the years. 😊 And she seemed possibly the two-faced type of girl, because she seemed smug, and too nice sometimes. Again. Fake. So it doesn't surprise me that she was bitter over getting voted off, and so she didn't vote for Charlie. Even though she told him she would. That's how two-faced people are. Yes, that's just part of the game, but it REALLY hurt Charlie's feelings. And he handled it so well at the time, even though most of us could see that he was shell-shocked. The fact that she voted for Kenzie came completely out of left field to Charlie. She said he had her vote! But now she's waffling, and changing her story, and like he said he already has plenty of friends. Now I have to watch some Maria exit interviews to see if I am right. 😛 I haven't seen any yet. I was fine with either Charlie or Kenzie winning. Charlie played the best strategic game out of the final 3 IMO. But around the merge I really started to admire Kenzie for her sunny smile through their total drought at Yanu, and her laid back approach to the game, and that she was getting to get to know the contestants. And she also had her wakeup call when she was left out of the vote, and she didn't get all pissed off. She just went to work in a better place because she realized she needed to be paying more attention. Anyway, Charlie was a delight to watch on Survivor 46. The All American boy. A Swifty. Fun loving. Genuine. Smart. And I like that he's being honest and vulnerable here. He doesn't need to save face. His integrity, loyalty and kindness have already been seen by millions. He doesn't have to scramble right now like Maria is probably doing, so he's just telling his truth. 💙

Charlie would have voted for Maria, I think. Kenzie played a great social game, but Charlie is really a great player - I mean I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see him play again. And he still won some money, they get money for making it that far. I would rather see Charlie over Q --- Q is charismatic but Charlie is calculated and intelligent. Kenzie just made those female connections and there was empathy for her situation. But Charlie up there, final 3, with other players would have won, absolutely. But also my words to Charlie would be this, Charlie you are so handsome, so intelligent, such a seasoned Survivor player - so cheer up and don't let Maria's vote affect your life negatively. Tevin was also on the fence, and none of the final vote hinged on Maria, don't give her that much power. I loved watching you play, you were my #1 from day one. My number one!!!!! If I ever played Survivor and they ask me who my favorite player is, it's you.

Best interview of Charly. For me Charly won it , but in this era it helps to have a I need the money story. (Kenzy is awesome. Not a victim. Love her) Kenzy took a very very long time to make fire so it wasn’t that. For all of Maria’s talk of her sons, she voted for the woman who wanted to start a family . Her words. Charly wants to start a family also. so it came down to her being mad over the letters from home and if she can’t win, he can’t win. Maria is a therapist but with all the lying, she can’t fool anyone. Charly’s answer right after all this happened shows his incredible maturity. What a man.

Maria is the definition of a complete narcissist. Her entire interview is ME ME ME Im so full of me. She thought it unfair for Liz to help Kinzie yet wasnt it unfair to deprive an obviously starving person the opportunity to eat? I dont blame Liz at all. In fact I applauded that move. Maria comes off as a self centered, petty, spoiled ,vindictive woman. And the only reason she deprived charlie of her vote was to selfishly "get even" because he concluded her play.

Im loving Charlie! He should be a Taylor Swift correspondent!

I hate the immediate after show, probably the worst decision in the new era

Maria showed her true colours when she didn't pick liz for the reward, Charlie was the real winner of the season

He expresses himself so well.

She should just admit shes bitter af

The interviewer did a fantastic job

She was bitter but he could have been braver in the way got her out. Instead of not playing the good friend all along, which might have made her pissed first and then respect him. He was dancing around it so long and then made it seem like others voted her out, no wonder after being in pandorosa she felt like everything he was selling her was off. At the end of the day that's the game, what the people you out survived think of you and feel about you. I mean she's clearly lying in these interviews but the fact she was pissed speaks about Charlie's game.

Charlie has so much grace and is so well-spoken.

Charlie - you will make a great Harvard lawyer because you had to think on your feet which you have to do in court. The day she bonded with W she was planning on getting you out. So why was she anger that you were going to get her out. She wasn’t expecting the backlash. She thought she could lie but her face told the truth.

I thought Maria was a strong woman and a strong player and I liked her for most of the season. Then came the Reward Challenge she won and how she handled that, and the conflicted reasoning she gave about it. She couldn't explain (wouldn't admit to) her FTC vote either and, after it, I began searching to try to see if she and Charlie were still friends. Remember, he was going to be "Uncle Charlie" and all of that. I don't think that's going to happen and, if not, what a tremendous loss to her, her family, and to her boys. Had she voted differently and Charlie had won, I can imagine what a fabulous "uncle" he would have been and how everyone would have benefitted from that relationship. But Maria was the "If I can't have it neither can you" type. And yes, Charlie did plot against her. But she was plotting against him at the same time! And I think we'd all be shocked if he wouldn't have voted for her in the end, had the positions been reversed. This is the first time I've watched Survivor in some years and my first "new era" show, I guess. But if this is the way it is now, if core alliances of two turn on each other at the end, I prefer old Survivor. None of this, for me, takes away from Kenzie's win, btw. I absolutely loved her and am happy for her win, her marriage and the coming baby boy they can securely welcome into the world this Fall. Best of luck and much happiness to them!

so Liz helped Kenzie which Maria said was clearly unfair and she was pissed about, but then she still votes for Kenzie bc of fire? Not buying it.

Maria is such a snaky and bizarre individual because she tries to pretend to be dignified but she also showed some MAJOR red flags in behavior and actions that would be indicative of a person that isn’t honest. I feel for Charlie. He should’ve won. And not even “he should’ve won only between the three.” No, even over Maria. And then listening to Maria’s explanation and justification… such a disappointment

This drama is just so iconic and juicy.

She did because Charlie stayed and she didn’t.Bad sport

I understand its hard to be honest and just admit that you were too bitter to vote for the person who deserved to win.

The delulu, defensive hyperinflation of her game is almost comical

Look she lied the entire time she was on that island she lied about wanting to pick somebody in need to eat regarding Liz she lied to you her and q just laughing it up behind your back and then to top it off she doesn't vote for you! She is nothing but a dirty player I understand you have to play your game deceitful sometimes but you can cross the line and she crossed that line! She doesn't deserve your friendship!

Bitter snake

"Great people" do not lie, deceive and stab you in te back. She commented continuously that she wanted to be a role model for her boys, but sadly, she showed them how to be a jealous and bitter sore loser.

Maria clearly has no heart - because if she did, she would understand that voting “with her heart” would = voting for her Survivor Bestie. That’s how that works. It doesn’t mean voting for someone you had no personal connection with during the game because they are more poor than your bestie or because they are the same gender as you. That’s called voting based on a MENTAL LOGIC of perceived “financial fairness” and a “personal gender bias” that has *zero* to do with the heart. But again, she wouldn’t know that because she doesn’t have one. It must hurt like hell for Charlie to hear over and over again in Maria’s interviews that her vote for Kenzie was “from the heart unlike her vote for Charlie would have been” - like, WTF? That just means that she never actually FELT anything personal or deep or genuine for Charlie. Maybe because she’s incapable. Run Charlie, RUN!

Good for Charlie for spilling the beans on personal conversations hit back when it hurts .

So, Kenzie was the one benefited from Liz's help during the challenge which made Maria furious (and rightly so) and she's bitter towards Charlie?? It makes no sense.

Charlie is awesome! Maria is a snake. In every single way possible. Devious and manipulative. She hasn't fooled anyone. Kenzie is such an amazing and beautiful person! People should learn from her. But I readily agree with the masses, Charlie deserved to win! He was robbed. He was the best player. Such a great guy who I hope listens to everyone and never talks to Maria, the narcissist again. She will never deserve his friendship. And she really should be ashamed of herself!

It comes down to character, Charlie has a trainload and Maria has zilch. I don’t think the jurors, the final 3 and even Jeff had a lot of respect for Maria after she was voted off. Her expressions while on the jury, final tribal and the after show were painful and you could see the distance between everyone and her. Kenzie was a good pick and played a great game. I think Charlie could be a good “fill in” for Jeff sometime.

It's too bad he has no respect for you. He said he is cutting ties with you.

Charlie and Maria are never getting back together ...swift sang it first! Hoping all the swifties out there tell their girl to give him a backstage pass to her new tour!

Everyone has already said this, but I want to add in on the fun! MARIA SUCKS. She is a bad person and her whole thing about being a leader for her kids... is embarrassing now. She showed them that their mother is a snake. No disrespect to Kenzie (she is worthy of winning), but if Maria was as loyal and had integrity like she claimed, Charlie would have won.

If you can now help people in "individual challenges" that means in the final fire making the other 2 people sitting down can help one person and make it a 3 vs. 1 in the fire making challenge haha. yeah?

IMO Charlie has played one of the best games of survivor. The fact he kept his threat level so low to not receive a single vote until Maria and Q tried to blind side him shows how well he played. It's too bad about Maria and Q's decision. Think both of their reasons make them look really stupid.

Survivor 46 was a tribute to the emotional players, and we got the stupid ending that tends to happen with emotional players. This was a forgettable season except for the challenges and that Charlie got robbed.

Only mistake Charlie made was having Maria as a friend. So called friend I should say.
