Although this season wasn’t the greatest Xander is one of my favorite players ever
Yeah but he should have used his extra vote during the tribal that evie went home because it would have tied the vote and she would have been immune and Xander was already immune so they both would have survived another tribal plus Xander would have still had his idol
You missed the part where he says “jeff you undersold the HELL out of that stew. Warm broth...” classic
He’s totally gonna be on second chances
Richard too!
@@stealth9062 yes! I wouldn’t be shocked to see shan too. They seem like the three to be most likely asked to return
No he's NOT, after his decision to take Erika with him to the final 3 over Heather, i don't ever want to see Xander on my TV ever again!
@@thewachannel4537 it was not a bad idea. he decided that no one was good enough to be able to beat her in fire so he didn't want erika to get another thing on her resume by winning final 4 fire
@@jackclausen7252 Still i don't ever want to see Xander on Survivor again, EVER!!!!!!!!!
i wasnt expecting him to win but i also didnt expect him to get NO VOTES
he was good at challenges but i didnt really notice him as connected while Erika was basically the popular one
@@roonsters6298 if you listen to his interview with the specialists you’d be surprised
@@matthewburdette248 If anything, I think he kinda confirmed in that interview that he wasn't coming off as genuine as he intended to LOL. And it definitely hindered him from making genuine relationships and earning the jury's respect. Xander takes his loss with humility and grace which is nice. His blind fan base should take notes LMAO.
@@nelsdanburg5407 I think he also argues he was genuine though obviously it’s not reality that matters but perception and I agree, that being said I think the reality is he played a great game that deserved at least a vote
@@matthewburdette248 Well yeah, we also know he was trying to be genuine, I 100% believe him there. But yes, like you said, he just didn't come off that way to the other players and their perception is what matters. I sadly can't say I agree on him playing a great game LOL I personally felt he played very below average and deserved the 0 votes but that's just my opinion.
41 was blessed to have xander on it he carried half the episodes he was on😂😂😂
I'm not surprised he didn't win, I'm just surprised he didn't get ANY votes. (My guess going in was 6-1-1)
That’s what I’m saying I didn’t think Deshawn would be in 2nd because of Danny’s vote
Same
Who did you think would vote for him?
@@KDAUG33 Naseer. I thought their bond was strong enough.
@@zonx87 honestly I bet the other jurors at ponderosa convinced him to vote for Erica
he’s probably my favourite survivor player of all time i love this guy
Xander bro you’re an inspiration to watch and a great human being.
I mean I'd like him too but what makes him an inspiration and I tend to think most people are great human beings
My favourite player this season, sad he didn’t win :(
Actually surprised to see him not get any votes. I for sure thought he was going to get more votes than Deshawn. His only downfall imo was taking Erika to the end.
@@boompowgunman6596 exactly
@@boompowgunman6596 bigger doesn't always equal better. Like in this case.
@@boompowgunman6596 7-1. Erika had the more respectable game and the jury saw that, Xander didn’t have a chance against anybody this season, it wasn’t just a woman thing. He only gets in a position of agency at what the final 6 because everybody wants to take him to the end
He also misplayed both of his advantages the extra vote and the idol also he didn't make any moves the knowledge is power move was Evie's move not his and the jury knew that
@@boompowgunman6596 how is that rude that your personal opinion I personally think Erica was the right choice out of all of them I don't think you should have been a novel finalist I think DeSean should have gotten that title but it's whatever that specific jury wants that season and Erica gave it to them that's why when I play I'm really going to pay attention to what my jury wants and what they want to hear and I'm going to pay attention to what type of game they want to play and what they want to see in a winner 🏆 you don't need to play the best game you just need to convince your jury to vote for you survivor has proved that time and time again
the uncle Xander scene with ricard was such a high point for me this season
Um why
um why not@@anthonymort5202
xander is just criminally underrated & legendary
Despite what some say, I loved Survivor 41 and would put it in my top ten seasons of all time, and big part of why that is because of Xander. Love you brother, and I can't wait for the day you come back!❤🤘
Honestly, i think production oversold him and undersold her big time. She won basically unanimously so there were obviously things we didn’t see.
Yeah I think because he was always on the bottom and going to tribal on Yase where as Erika was on a tribe that physically domianted and never went to tribal until Sydney got voted out.
Maybe or maybe the perception of the jury became reality, even though it was not completely true. Erika may have talked a lot about strategy and be friendly, but in reality Xander was always in a worst position since the start. Besides that, there were clear bitter jury's members such as Richard and people who for reasons beyond the game would never vote for him.
I think we saw a lot. The thing is it’s pretty obvious in the players perspective he was doing nothing while from our POV he was talking to the camera. Erika took a lot more control and was pinned as a threat to win by more players than he ever was before FTC even came around
@@carinasantos7106 reasons beyond the game? Like what? Also wouldn’t Ricard just be as bitter at erika for beating him at immunity?
Would love to see him play again when hes a little older
I'm glad Xander was the only remaining Yase, out of all of them he deserved it the most. They all constantly plotted against him while he was the sole reason the four of them made the merge.
Not Evvie?
@@petermcgill3405 Especially not challenge challenged Evvie
Tiffany was a good player as well
The 'Butterflies are dead relatives saying hi, Still makes me laugh out loud
Very entertaining player, pretty astonishing he managed to claw to final 3 and I wouldn't hate to see him back one day, but I don't think I watched the same content as the people saying he was robbed. He played an exciting game that was also extremely loosey-goosey for the first half, had to play possum for a long time, was deemed enough of a non-threat that there became no onus to even flush his idol, and then *completely* bombed any chance he had at a win by misreading the jury as badly as we've ever seen and putting the eventual winner in the final 3.
If he puts himself in fire with Erika, dispatches her himself, and then knocks it out of the park at FTC he might have legitimately gotten there...but he didn't do that, and he paid for it. Don't blame Erika for beating your golden boy, blame the editors for giving less evidence than they could have. The winner of a season is the one who played best to their jury that season and had some measure of good luck to get there (of which Erika had plenty, I'm aware of that).
Tony used the exact same strategy and yet he's considered one of the best ever? Erika didn't seem to be doing much of anything, Xander was in on all of the same votes she was but also had to go through a lot more early on to get there
@@KDAUG33 I’m sorry, but how exactly was he in on all of the votes? He didn’t even have a vote for a majority of the pre-merge, and then when he reached the merge and got his vote back. He was on the wrong side of the vote for literally half of the tribals.
100% on his gameplay. And hell even beyond that, I found Xander pretty bland and boring both pre season and during the show. This is just one of those huge fan favorites on the show I've never gotten the appeal of at all. There's about 9 or 10 other people at least that I liked watching over him in 41. And yeah, like you said the claims of him being robbed and the ridiculous go fund me page set up for him to reward "the TRUE winner of Survivor 41" are just utter insanity LOL. He didn't have any agency with anything he did, even when he had opportunities to put himself in a better social standing, greatly showed his lack of social awareness with misreading the jury and how he comes across and needlessly dangled his idol in the face of an easy consensus boot for being a big threat who knew he was already going home in Ricard and totally losing any shot of his vote as a result. What do people see? What did he actively do that was good outside of the baseline strategy of playing possum on paper and the idol fake out at the Sydney tribal? Both Erika and Deshawn played better than him imo although Deshawn played far from perfect as well. In fact, Xander has even said post season how in a F3 of him, Deshawn and Heather, it's not a guarantee he'd win like most believe. Unless he put himself and Erika in fire and took her out.
Also the several claims of Erika only winning cuz she's a woman of color is very out of pocket and downright disgusting. Those claiming that really need to knock that off and do some serious checking of themselves. Like you said, every winner of their season, deserved to win that season. And although it was true that several jurors would've loved for a woman to win, it's been confirmed that Erika did not have most of those votes on lock simply because of her being a woman.
@@emileconstance5851 Cuz Xander had poor jury management who demonstrated a severe lack of social awareness all season by failing to take initiative to get himself into power and coming across as disingenuous when creating relationships. Plus needlessly dangling his idol in Ricard's face at F5 was a TERRIBLE look. He rightfully got 0 votes, he played the weakest game of the 3. Deshawn didn't play great either, especially from F8 on, but at least he was in power and had some say in what happened, even if his game was severely flawed, especially in the home stretch.
Also, even if what you claim about the jury is true (except Deandra is not a person on the jury so I can only assume you didn't actually watch the season LMAO) a jury can vote however they want. It's up to the finalists to convince the people they voted out to vote for them. The bread and butter of Survivor. It's on Xander for not doing what he needed to do. He didn't play that good of a game. Basically Dean's game from IOI. And even then, at least Dean had a pretty damn good FTC performance where he was able to earn 2 votes. Xander couldn't even do that. It's also important to keep in mind that 41 had less days, thus less time for the jurors to truly separate themselves after being voted out and reflect. So it was a bit more raw for them emotionally going into FTC, which is definitely a valid factor to consider.
@@KDAUG33 Not true. Tony had social capitol and a lot of sway between his main Sollana 2.0 alliance along with his relationship with Spencer. He didn't just rely on idols. Xander was out of the loop on half the votes LOL and didn't use his resources effectively to get himself into power or fight for his allies in Tiffany and Evvie and work to save them. Plus this isn't the Cagayan jury. Even if Xander did play a Tony esq game (which he didn't) that doesn't mean it works with the jury of 41. Completely different people with a different set of values.
I don’t understand how he didn’t get even one vote to win!
Bad jury management
Jealousy and saltiness. Ricard is salty because Xander did not use his idol on him, Liana is salty because Xander embarrassed her by fooling her to use her advantage and giving her a fake Idol at tribal, and Tiffany is salty because Xander would not speak to her post-merge because they would be seen as a threat.
@@tc4583 Liana did not seem bitter at all imo. She asked him a question about social awareness, basically giving him an opportunity to talk about him duping her on a silver platter, and she even joked about it. The only person who seemed salty was Shan, and it was against DeShawn. He just didn’t play the best game there because if you read in between the lines, Erika was the one making things happen from Naseer’s vote to the end.
@@sharp5132 Liana mentioned at FTC that it was an embarrassing moment for her and that she fell flat on her face.. she may not say it but I'm sure inside she resents Xander for that. Ricard made his feelings clear at FTC towards Xander. Lastly, Tiffany herself has spoken out about how Xander did not want to speak to her post-merge and seemed bitter about it even in her question to him at FTC. Evvie is salty because Xander did not use his idol to save her. The whole time all the women on Yase were trying to get Xander out so I don't know how they expect him to be obligated to them.
He's a straight white male.
man did not even get 1 single vote... that's messed up
Nobody respected his game. Even HEATHER was a bigger threat than him according Ricard.
@@isaakberghe837 cause the jury was filled with racists who would rather put their own agenda first then voting based on gameplay and how they made it to the end
@@cadecurran9644 I'm sorry, what is your argument? Cuz blaming it on racism even tho both Erika and Heather had an equal shot at winning doesn't make the tiniest sense at all.
@@isaakberghe837 PREAAAACH! Erika rightfully won and Xander rightfully lost. And you're correct, Xander has said himself in his tell all with Phil and Alexa that even in a f3 of him, Deshawn and Heather, he's not confident he wins. The edit oversold Xander and undersold Erika. I get why people are upset because of that, especially fans of Xander. But to say Erika was not deserved and that Xander, a WHITE man, is a victim of racism is downright disgusting and those people need to check themselves.
@@cadecurran9644 yes they were so racist they excluded Erika out of the “POC”alliance and didn’t vote Deshawn. Please Xander was an agent of chaos who did nothing the entire season.
If the jury actually voted on gameplay, Erika would win this season unanimously. Her game was superior to Xander and Deshawn in almost every way
My Season 41 winner! 💪🏼
He's amazing!!!
In my opinion Xander should have won.
Totally!
Yes!!
@@kindracorbridge6118 Erika was so good too they all have strengths and weaknesses so they all deaerved
Definitely but even if someone else won wouldn’t have been upset if he got at least some votes.
@@boompowgunman6596 so recruiting all the people on the bottom into an alliance to overthrow the people on the top isn't a good move I thought it was you're not going to give her credit for that Plus I've already said this but Xander didn't make a single good move throughout the whole game he constantly had chances to make brilliant moves too but he squandered all of his chances he could have gotten Danny out when the tribes were split all he had to do was use his extra vote he could have used his idol to save evie once I got a little farther as well so they could have always had two votes between them but for some reason he just kept his advantages for himself that's not how you play good survivor every good player has used their advantages for other people if no good time to use it for themselves has come up you can't play scared you can't say hey let me save this just in case I need it down the line you see an opportunity to use it you use it and he had plenty of opportunities to use his advantages in spectacular ways
I actually expected Evie to vote for Xander everyone else was up in the air.
He is so Genuine!!!
Bro really brought Off-White Blazers to the final tribal
He deserved to win I love him
Plsssss do a Best of Erika though Xander was a very fun presence too!! ❤❤
she doesnt have any good moments
Loved Xander, and he was very sharp and a great player. He should have won.
Bingo Bango
I like what you said about Xander
Wasn't surprised he didn't receive any votes, certain factors weren't his fault, clearly personal biases came into play. However he also had some poor jury management on his part.
1. Tiffany: revealed in post interviews she left the game mad at Xander because he refused to talk to her.
2. Evvie: Pre bio states she hates men, desperately wants a female winner, also left feeling shafted by Xander for not playing his idol or extra vote for her.
Naseer: His loyalty is with Luvuu, he didn't spend much time with Xander as he did with the other two finalists.
3. Shan: No real connection build with her, her intentions wanted a person of color to win regardless.
4. Lianna: She secretly likes Xander but is too afraid to show it, would never vote for him for the same reasons has Shan.
Danny: Loyal to his closest ally Deshawn
Ricard: He is openly an activist for marginalized groups because of this he strongly wanted a female or person of color to win before the game started. Was mad at Xander for not playing his idol on him, giving him false hope and taking Erika instead of Heather.
Heather: Xander unintentionally gave her a back handed compliment by referring to her as a goat, even though he clarified his remarks you could tell she was slightly offended and uncomfortable.
Ironically, If Sydney made jury, she probably would've been the only person willing to vote for him. Xander celebrated when she got voted out, saving Evvie who unknowingly was never going to vote for him to win, since she has feminist views.
i 100% agree with everything you said. I loved Xander as a character this season but he messed up his game big time. Erika was the winner hands down and it sucks that the editors didn’t show more of her story with Heather
@KLGoodman What? It's who palued the BEST game not who spent they spent the most time with. Like seriously? Are you going to go to any length just to say Cander deserved to win ( which he didn't)?
@@bray8477 They wanted ti give Erika a very subtle come from behind edit and story which is actually quite clear. While Cander had wayyy more confessionals, they were all mostly toneless but with Erila, she got a bevvy of game related content I'm sooo happy with this win ^^
@@sanjumitra1 oh i’m so happy she won too, out of the three of them she was my fav. just wish there was a bit more content that’s all!
I believe he was up at all times when the tough challenges took place, there's one challenge particularly where this effort and tribe support from him to the entire group was showed & the fact at the end none of the members of the tribe gave at least one single vote, it turns out ungrateful.
Xander kinda reminds me of Devon Pinto (which is definitely not a bad thing)
I think he has the most potential of the whole cast, I think he got pretty unlucky, showed tons of game ability and still made the final 3, to me the best player of the season and a Top 30 One Time Player easily
He is a smart guy as he goes to Chicago university, but his ability he demonstrated in the game has lacked the most out of a lot players actually. He is a bottom mid tier runner up, nowhere even close to top 30 one time players. Only time in the whole season he got unlucky is with the beware advantage, he still should’ve made decisions and took initiative earlier in the season and not gotten rid of Abraham earlier on the season and getting snowed by Evvie. Other than that he gets lucky with Erikas hourglass, lucky the votes splitted the way they did that tribal, lucky Deshawn had a meltdown the next tribal and made them vote tiffany, and lucky again when the tribes split.
Erika for obvious reasons has more game ability and potential shown in the season, she’s a lot more logical and savvy when it comes to her thinking process.
Evvie Tiffany Danny Heather and Ricard haven’t shown what they’re fully capable yet and definitely have a lot more potential on a future season than Xander.
Xander could not have played a better game with the cards he was dealt. Period.
I think Xander was a good player. Although I think his downfall was bringing Erika to the final, i think the fact that he didn’t want to add to Erika’s resume was a valid reason and if he sold himself to the jury more he could have had a more fighting chance at the win. Maybe there was more to the conversation we didn’t see, but I feel like he didn’t bring up points that he should’ve such as his immunity wins and could have done more to sell himself.
People saying the jury didn’t understand his game… the jury *is* the game
Jury are also loosers
@@kleuvnizhik8954 so is Xander
The jury is the biggest flaw this game has as was shown many times in Survivor including Erika winning over Xander - total BS win.
@@Karim-ye5zh not at all.
@@Karim-ye5zh not at all that’s the whole point of survivor
His idol play was better than DeShawn's entire game.
Yeah, the idol play where he nullified zero votes cuz nobody saw him as a threat? Amazing play, sends chills down my whole body.
@@nelsdanburg5407 I believe they're referring to the fake idol play.
@@StrayCatAlley Wow, his greatest achievement is one moment of theatrics at a tribal that had literally no meaning to the game afterwards cuz he totally dissociated himself from Tiffany and Evvie, thus losing their jury votes. Yeah, bravo Xander!
@@nelsdanburg5407 I mean it did take out Liana's advantage and prevented her from gaining an idol so yeah...it did have an impact on the game. Yeah, bravo Xander!
@@sah2232 I still argue it didn't really impact the game. Because even after Xander taking out that advantage and holding onto his idol, nobody ever cared to take a shot at him because he wasn't seen as a threat, which was correct imo. Idol or not, people were not interested in taking a shot at Xander. And after doing that move to supposedly protect Evvie and Tiffany, he just immediately dissociates from them afterwards and as a result, loses any chance at getting their jury votes. And to add to that, even if that move did impact anything in the game (which as I just said, it didn't), it wasn't even Xander's idea LMAO. As we saw in the flashback in the episode, it was Evvie and Tiffany telling him what to do with the idol and the fake right there as they're exchanging. So his supposed "move of the season" wasn't even his move LMAO. The move not only wasn't even his move but it also impacted nothing moving forward. So yeah, bravo Xander! 🙄I don't understand what people see in it outside of some fun lines and memes at that tribal. Nowhere near the actual move of the season imo in Erika and Ricard leading the vote against Shan.
My winner
he's so pretty for no reason like DAMN
Should’ve won, clear winner in my eyes. Jury was biased smh
I was and still am very unhappy with Xander not winning. He stood out more than most in that season in my opinion and he had a good heart full of love for everyone. He was a good kid and never fought or made enemies with anyone and I feel Erika's game was just less impressive and she didn't even stand out most episodes until she broke the hourglass.
i really believe he should’ve won this season, i love erika tho
Love this dude ! but he has 0 social awareness :/ dude made some sussy decisions in the finale
taking erika to the end was his worst decision, i was shocked when she went to make her pitch for why she should be taken to the end with xander & he immediately agreed. probably would’ve won if he did the fire making challenge vs erika and beat her but she did play a good game.
@@aidanv3340 i agree and him saying that he will play his idol for a emotionally drained ricard the proceeds to not play it also damaged his game
he should have pulled a chris from edge of extinction and made fire with erica
@@joshjordan395 at the same time hes just 20 EXTREMELY young! will probably be back in the future tho maybe with ricard or shan if they do an all stars or something which will be nice to see his improvement if he isn’t one of the first boots out
@@aidanv3340 ya i rly hope to see him again
I’ve watched this season twice! And I can’t remember anything Erika did other than the hourglass twist respectfully. Xander and Ricard were the winners
And the hourglass thing was presented to Erika by the producers without any effort or planning on her part ...
I think had Xander played the endgame differently, he has a better chance of winning this season. Hypothetically: Let's say after the Shan vote, Liana still goes home but instead Xander doesn't play his extra vote and it's 4-3 with Liana going home. Ricard wins immunity at Final 6 and it's still between Danny and Deshawn for elimination. Xander plays his extra vote and votes for Danny with him going home 4-3 despite Deshawn's truth kamikaze to drive a wedge between Heather and Erika. Final 5 advantage is still found by Erika but Ricard comes back to win the challenge (would be his 4 and putting him within striking distances of the record), Xander tells people he's playing his idol just in case which makes sense as it's the last time he can play it. Ricard, Heather, Erika, and Xander are voting Deshawn as he is on the bottom. But Xander has other ideas, Deshawn wants Erika out and Xander at tribal council plays the idol for Deshawn with Erika going home 2-0. Xander wins Final 4 immunity and guaranteeing him as the youngest player to ever reach the Final 3. Tells everyone to practice fire to not ruffle any feathers. At tribal he takes Heather and puts Deshawn and Ricard in fire making, Deshawn beats Ricard by seconds and Ricard is eliminated in 4th place. Now at the final 3 with the moves that Xander has made towards the end, his argument of winning this game looks way better. Again this is a scenario as to how his game would look had he made some better choices strategically. What do you guys think? With this scenario, does Xander win against Deshawn and Heather with his corrected endgame moves? Would the jury respect him finishing strong and balling out and taking risks at the very end? Personally, I think Xander wins in this new scenario maybe 6-2 or 5-3 but that's just me.
ya sure, he didnt win. but he seems so genuinely nice 😭
I went into this season thinking he was gonna be a total tool, but he ended up being my favorite. Legitimately the only player I'd be happy to see return from this season. Everyone else was meh at best to me.
My Friend Cayley Hosmer Loves Him Really
How he did not win is still beyond me..
Lillian, Katie, Phillip, Woo and Missy all having more jury votes than Xander
BUT, they had different jury, it’s about the jury. Xander unfortunately ended up with a jury that didn’t quite get his game
When are you fans going to give it up? Xander was seen as a non factor by all of the jury. And to top it off, he took Erika to the end instead of heather. Of course he wasn’t going to win
@@eldio2124 yea
@Abby from wii sports sounds like Xander problem, if he was a real strategist he should've had a daughter on the cast then
@Abby from wii sports statistically he’s not I don’t make the facts sorry sweaty 💅🏼 your boy can’t outperform a lady on crutches
Honestly, I don't understand how Erika was such a threat
Me neither but by the end I think she proved it. If you rewatch Xander’s episode about the KIP, that move was done by all Tiffany Evvie and himself, not just him. He just made the call not to use the idol and had the fake idol as extra security. If anything he almost messes this up by telling Danny he knows about Lianas advantage and he’s playing the idol on Evvie, that made him look sketch as fuck since Liana already knew he had it.
King
He shouldve won.
He was the True winner this season
Hmmm did he earn the jury votes to win? No? That's what I thought. Then by design, he did not win.
Terrible season but Xander was the highlight
The jury is the game period. He wouldn’t win with a different jury because that means he would have to play with different players. However even a jury like EOE wouldn’t respect his game being out of the loop nonstop and when he was in the loop he was following others plans, he played a game similar to Lauren OConnell
Hey, don't you ever insult Lauren O'Connell ever again!
@@thewachannel4537 she deserves a lot of respect for holding onto the idol when she definitely was targeted a lot more than Xander and attending so many tribals, but I see the parallels in their game
@@junsong9581 Well yes, i do have a lot of respect for Lauren, she's my Number #1 favorite Survivor, but do NOT compare her gameplay to Xander's. I hate Xander, i was rooting for him for the most part but after he took Erika to the final three over Heather, He lost both the game and my respect, i hope he never returns on Survivor ever again!
@@thewachannel4537 hate is still a very strong word
@@junsong9581 It does not matter, Xander screwed up, and that's why i despise him now!
Xander is the rightful winner
Did he get enough jury votes to win? Oh, he didn't? Well then, he is not the rightful winner.
Mergatory, Betraydar, or Xander candy not being shown :/
also truth kamikaze like cmon
Very strong player the fake idol is 👌
Should have won
NOT THIS FLOP!
my winner
Best of erika plssss
Watch it be a 7 minute video and half of it is just her hitting that dumb hourglass🤣🤣
@@cadecurran9644 no she had a bevvy pf content actially and msot of it was wayy more game related. They kept her edit subtle because that was what her game legit was
There’s not much other than the hourglass. The survivor editing team kinda screwed her and made her look way less cool then a Xander or Ricard.
I honestly think that the jury was holding grudges with him for no reason he shoulda won he got robbed
Erika outplayed them strategically
They had no grudges because he didn’t do anything. Tiffany and Evvie were mad because he literally didn’t talk to him when they went home, that is justified
Jury just though he was out of the loop for most of the game and didnt do a lot of good moves that he should have during the game
@@Dankfort Erika had 0 strategy other than just being there
@@cadecurran9644 that was more xander
No offense but he really didn’t play a good game it was very sloppy
the jury was soooooo bitter this season its insane
That was because this season was way HARDER and much SHORTER than previous seasons, they did not get the comfort and respect from Jeff and the production team that the previous seasons had, like i hated the do or die twist and i hated that the final 5 had to start over at another beach! Dumb! Dumb! Dumb! Dumb! DUMB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Erika was easily the right winner I mean with that final 3, Erika played ten times better in my opinion. Ok, so see why Xander lost
- In pre merge, Yase lost one more challenge and Xander 100 percent leaves whereas there was eaisly a chance Erika could survive if Yase lost
- In final 12, he does make a massive move there but Evvie and Tiffany have claimed that it was actually their idea
- I don't think taking out Tiffany and Evvie was the right move from him and it left them bitter.
- Xabder does take out Liana but that decisipn literally just came down to Erika and Heather.
- Xander wanted Deshan gone but that does not happen
- Erika was the one that won Immunity and found the advantage and Xander saying he would play the Idol for Ricard...not a good sign
- Taking Erika to the end was a terrible terrible terrible terrible read
- His jury eprformance and answer to social awareness...not good.
However, it was a pleasure to watch him this season he's sucha sweet guy ❤
Now, Erika 's game. She spent 2 days on exile and was TARGET NO.1 and then she obviously has the hourglass twist. Her relationship with Ricard keeps Heather in the game, she orchestrates the split vote in the Shan boot, is the swing vote in the Liana boot, Takes out Danny over Deshawn, wins immunity to take down Ricard and finally I'm sure she did some convincing for Xander to save Erika. So, she was the easier choice here hands down. She was also on the right side of every vote while Xander was on the wrong side for the first THREE votes. Erika's game was a lot like Victoria from EOE winning and honestly I would loveeee to see her play agaon just because I think she will be underestimated
@@emileconstance5851 Erika really played a very good hame and msot votes were pro Erika not Anti Xander but I whole heartedly believe he deserved wnd over Deshawn. Deshawn had more agency in the game, yes but he was so emotional and his moves were too erratic so Xander should be the easy 2nd placer
Bro Erika was literally about to be the first one out on luvu.... did we watch the same fucking season 💀💀
@@emileconstance5851 i feel like no matter what he did he wasn’t winning period.
Just watched this and best of Erika back to back and wow I would have voted Erika too! Very impressive 👏
He played well but basically pulled a Woo at the end. Reading the post game interviews, he has a pretty legitimate shot of winning against Deshawn and Heather
Robbed King!
It's obvious why Xander didn't receive ONE VOTE. The jurors never perceive him as a threat with an idol.. and extra vote. He never initiated any moves. His strategy was "anybody but me". And he failed to articulate his answers to the jury. Xander represents the saying: "Nice guys finish..."
I would think anybody but me if I was a straight white dude on a season all about race. And considering all other white dudes got canned I would probably assume if I was Xander that I’m prob on the chopping block next
@@cadecurran9644 It has nothing to do with that, dude...Heather was a white blodne lady but she was never targeted. Don't ride someone's win off as ' butter jury' when they played a very good game 😭
@@cadecurran9644 The black alliance literally got dismantled and Deshawn was the only one left and there were bitter feelings towards him at the end and probably why he didn’t recieve a single vote besides the one person he didnt fuck over so did he lose because hes black? Since you want to bring race into it.
You hit the nail on the head. Xander played a very 4/10 game. Yes, he got to the end and nobody can take that away from him. But he did little to nothing in his time to get himself into a better spot socially and burned all his resources.
i hate how people are showing hate to erica,xander and the jury. they keep saying erika dint deserve to win but like she did. She had easily one of the best jury management, she was also on the right side of votes the entire game and for xander, he played a very good game but he dint really do any big moves this season. he should have flipped on ricard during 7th vote off then used his extra vote to vote out danny in final 6 . it would have gave him a power position of whether heather and erica or liana and deshawn. he could have done an extreamly good endgame move. He will prob go with heather and erika and vote deshawn out prob. depending if liana or xander wins, i dont know that since liana might have pulled a clutch win and win immunity. but if xander wins immunity, its most likely that he brings erika to the finals and its liana vs heather which eitherway it will be a erika vs xander. if he did all those, its likely that he might have a higher chance to win. but if he takes liana or heather to the finals and the other 2 compete for fire, erika goes then he could easily win this game for pulling off moves
What are u talking about he was underdog the whole season, didn’t get to vote, won two immunity challenges, forced liana to use her advantage on a fake idol. What did Erika do besides the hourglass shit?? Maybe she did do some stuff but the survivor editing team made her look lame in comparison to Xander or ricard no doubt.
@@finnburke2709 but he did not have jury management at all. Look at russel hantz, dude deserved to win in samoa but dint due to very poor jury management
@@finnburke2709 Erika was completely responsible for the Shan and Danny votes by putting them together. Shan was the biggest threat at the time and she saw Danny had more win equity than Deshawn so pushed to keep the vote on Danny and save Deshawn. Erika did way more than Xander who did nothing but waste his idol, burn his relationships with Yase, do nothing to get himself out of that underdog position and into a position of power, and thoroughly lacked game awareness regarding everyone's win equity. Xander with the fake idol play to burn Liana's advantage was a fun move, but that's literally all he did. And even then, the move meant absolutely nothing afterwards because he just immediately left Tiffany and Evvie to the wolves and therefore lost their respect. And he did absolutely nothing with his idol. How did he play a good game that "should've won"? Like were we watching the same season? I agree that Erika should've been edited better but even just looking at Xander's game by itself, he didn't really impact a single thing that happened all season and was easily one of the more irrelevant players that made merge this season.
The 20 year old white kid was never going to win in a season this racial
@DirtyD You are dumb. He still got to the end, and it's not like Deshawn got a ton of votes either.
Just like many minorities didn't win seasons so "un"-racial. Ok racist.
Wait did Deshawn get vote??? If they were racist they're go for the black guy, and learn to spell racist**
@@TremblingQualifier the first winner of survivor was a gay dude, juries in the past have never voted based on race or sexuality rather on gameplay and who outplayed everyone. There have been plenty of minority winners just CBS has not casted a lot of minorities in the past compared to white people up until now so it would make sense less minorities do make it to the end if there wasn’t a lot of minorities on the cast in the first place
@@cadecurran9644 race and sex have an unconscious bias on how the jury perceived somebody and what their “gameplay” was like. For example somebody like Eddie Fox from caramoan could’ve won despite having probably one of the worst players to ever make it that far against dawn because she was viewed as an emotional older woman, when she was dominanting the season along Cochran. We clearly saw the results of the show and FTC and it’s clear they voted based on gameplay.
ugh I wish the jury understood his game. with the right people he is the obvious choice.
I don't think that's true at all. He voted incorrectly like half the time after the merge. After Sydney went home he apparently dissociated himself completely with Yase, burning Evvie and Tiffany. Then after the Evvie vote people realized that he was nothing but a number because he had no social capital, he was picked up by the majority and taken to 4. He teased using his idol on Ricard and then decided not to which guaranteed Ricard wouldn't vote for him. In addition, people saw his sitting out post-merge as superficial and for strategy. If you read the exit interviews it's obvious nobody respected him.
I doubt it, in the first half he voted incorrectly and he actually forced himself in that position at that merge move with Evvie when he could’ve tried to move the target to somebody like Sydney. He would then be saved by chaos at tribal at the next vote as he was supposed to go in the revote and he won an clutch immunity win which at the same tribal he voted incorrectly. After that he is Ricards loyal footsoldier and hides it by saying he’s his shield and instead of voting him out at 7, he didn’t, that move only benefited Erikas game because she was a bigger threat. And at the final 5 he flirted with the idea of playing the idol on Ricard and then takes Erika to the end? I’m sorry but Erika undoubtedly played a game miles ahead of him, he didn’t lose 7-1-0 for no reason, he just did nothing noteworthy the whole game. His only move which was tricking Liana was given credit by Evvie and Tiffany by Tiffany getting info for the move and them telling him to give the advantages to Tiffany, all he had was an fake idol. Not to mention he almost ruined the move by telling Danny, giving Danny time to split the vote just in case
@@spamzon8716 I really don’t think he did anything and that’s it
@@spamzon8716 he voted incorrectly because people chose to exclude him and then were asking him about social awareness. His tribe Yase were filled with women trying to get him out the whole time! What loyalty does he owe to them? Still he tried to help Evvie but then found out that Evvie had told Deshawn about his Idol. They broke his trust and tried to get him out so he had to fight so hard to win group immunity challenges so that they would not go to Tribal. He was not only competing against other tribes a challenges but within his own tribe. I think one of his mistakes is offering Ricard his Idol, I think in the moment he truly considered it but should have never said anything unless he was going to actually use it on him. Xander did make some mistakes but not ones in my opinion that should have cost him the game.
@@tc4583 Well, that's his fault. He needs to build bonds that carry him through liek Erika did with Deshawn, Heather and Ricard.
BEST OF ERIKA PLEASE

Honestly I think Xander just got very unlucky this season his tribe was against him from like day 3 those women all wanted him out and yet they’re bitter at him for not saving them? Granted he had bad jury management but realistically even before final tribal he wasn’t getting Votes from Shan Liana(they hated his guts) Danny or Heather that’s half the jury. He did have a legendary move with faking out Liana I don’t care what y’all say that plan was his he made the fake idol came up with the plan and used the info Tiffany gave him. That said he made 3 game ending mistakes. 1 not saving Evvie at F9 Liana would have gone and then he could have used his extra vote to spearhead the Shan blindside instead of Erika. 2nd dangling the idol in front of Ricard which guarantees he doesn’t get Ricards jury vote. 3 not making Erika do fire. If he pulled a Chris Underwood he might have had a chance. So to conclude Xander was awesome to watch but it’s pretty clear why he didn’t win
Xander didn’t make the plan at all. There is literally no evidence he ever came up with the idol fake out, like we literally never see him at any point single handidly own up to creating the plan. From footage alone we see Tiffany Xander and Evvie executing . Tiffany came up with the plan with Evvie from the information she got.
Xander virtually did nothing all game but watch Evvie and Tiffany leave back to back and follow their plan at the Sydney boot. After that he does nothing, like his literally only move was putting heather against Deshawn.
He should of 🏆 🥇 won
Ladies and gentlemen the real winner Of season 41
You actually have to get 5 out of 8 votes to win, so no
0 vote finalist flop
Did he receive enough jury votes to win? Oh, no? Hmmm. I guess it's settled then.
Robbed King
im honestly really mad nobody voted xander to win. this really was the worst season.
I'm just baffled Erika won over him. The game is not what it used to be man. All peoole vote on now is feelings🤦🏾
Yeah! Xander played a way bigger game than her, all she really did was smash the hourglass, and that opportunity was handed to her on a silver platter by jeff, she didn't have to work at all, and her biggest thing was her relationship with heather, but like? seriously? thats one person you've really bonded with!
@@boompowgunman6596 Bigger doesn't equal better all the time. Erika was also the main person who put the Shan and Danny votes together and was able to hide her threat level enough that Xander wasn't aware of how impressive her game was to the jury. She also had a great relationship with Ricard. And when Xander needlessly dangled his idol in his face, it basically locked in Ricard's vote for Erika. Erika's game might not have been the most entertaining, but it was smart and worked perfectly for her. She definitely deserved to win.
The jury has always been based on feelings. Have you never heard of snakes and rats?
@@zoroark65 They should be Basing their Votes off of the 3 Aspects of the game. Social, Physical, & Stretegical. Whoever has the Highest numbers overall is who should win that season. That's the whole point of the game. That's what the Game Tests you for.
@@robtheservantof6257 That's your opinion but jurors can vote however they like and there's no penalty for them using "dumb" reasoning. There's never been a jury completely devoid of feelings. There are no numbers because it's a social game and it comes down to people's opinions. It's the finalists' job to sway those opinions.

ROBBED!
Nope
Xander got cheated and the editing team should be fired????
Yeah, I've never seen so many openly racist and sexist people. I knew when I saw the jury that Xander didn't have a chance. He didn't get a single vote, even though he should have won in a landslide.
Australian Survivor is way better than the American version. People can see for themselves, it’s now available on Paramount Plus. The contestants are way more likable and they actually have to fight and struggle. Plus the challenges are so inventive and refreshing. It feels like the American one just uses the same ones over and over again.
wheres your evidence that the jury voted based off race or sex? you are just discrediting Erika’s game and the jury’s assessment of the game which they were actually apart of rather than you, who is just sitting here and calling people racist/sexist for not voting someone to win.
Stop posting this crap on every video. Look at the racial make up of the cast and look up the racial makeup of winners across the seasons. Think harder.
@DirtyD ok. are you just upset because the cast wasn't majority white? Look at the elimination order and check the reality that many minorities were eliminated early.
@HHHearn honestly, are you that dense?
"next season we should round the yt people up at episode 1 and vote them all off so we can rejoice" "if the entire cast was black it'd be better",
excuse me for saying, but racism isn't just against black people, people can be racist to anyone of another color, it's not just "oh my goodness! a white person won survivor! oh, how terrible the person is for playing a good game! oh my silly goodness, what a terrible person! lets make everybody in the game black! that's not racist to white people at all!"
It's great how the cast was diverse, i'm sorry you got annoyed at the long speeches about how awesome it was, but that was important to some people,
I hadn't really realized it before, but people treat racism like it's just against the black community, but using people like you as evidence shows that it's not, what you've commented on this video is really racist in my opinion, and stupid. like dude?!, there was still a game! yea sure there were speeches on how great it was that there was such a diverse cast, look, i'm sorry you got annoyed with it, but i'm sure that meant a lot to some people,
get a life man
Ok, i'm sorry for my rant, but your comments really annoyed me, they rubbed me the wrong way, and i hope you now know why, i'm also sorry if i've thought of something wrong in my analysist of what you've said, but i reacted to what i thought/think you meant, and if it's not what you meant, then please use different wording next time
No, Xander got as many votes as he deserved. He didn't play a good game at all due to his passive and unaware gameplay. Any jury votes he could've gotten such as Tiffany, Evvie and Ricard, he totally burned by dissociating himself and/or dangling his idol in their faces. He blew it on his own terms and Erika just played a smarter and stronger game.
This is what happens when the jury are bias
thats the point of survivor- you’re supposed to be friends with the jury before they get evicted so they vote u in jury thats how its been since first season Erika played it well
I feel every jury is biased playing a game where their is blindsides and deceit and it’s human emotions. Just some juries are more biased than others
@@roonsters6298 erika just played safe. Xander and ricard played to win that's why I say it's bias but oh well
I dont think he played very well he just followed others since beginning in the last kept erika was bad move to I dont find a winner in him he had opportunity to play his idol on evvie so that he can insure his game due recard he survived after evvie tribal because wanted to vote for shan rather to vote xandar
he lost because he’s white.
He should’ve came out as gay maybe he would’ve won
true LOLLL
lol
Xander is so overrated it is not even funny. I laugh at the people thinking he was actualy robbed against Erika. Get real.
Too bad he’s white and male… no chance 🤣🤣
Yeah, there are no white male survivor winners right? Shame on Survivor!! LOL
Bro nobody respected his game, it’s not about that
Your not wrong with this statement people wanted a black winner for the culture and a woman winner because we haven’t had one since sarah as these players openly said
Ricard was going to win lol, and he’s white passing
But… 30/41 winners are white…
I don’t like him tbh. I saw what they saw through him. His FAKENESS and Inauthenticity

Too white and male to win 🤣
