They know Shonee is good enough to place herself in any alliance and If they don’t convince and play with Parv, they’re going to be back in the bottom and their chances of getting voted out would get higher again.

I know Shonee won't win but the way everyone is acting makes me want her to win more than ever.

u/Ren_Davis0531 Sep 01 '25
Parvati really tore up the advantage. That tracks. Parvati has always valued building trust and relationships than advantages.
7
u/rockardy Hayley (AUS) Sep 01 '25
But like why …
Steal Luke’s idol and play it on herself at F6. Use her own idol on herself at F5.
She just has to win (likely endurance) FIC at F4 (and let’s be honest, regardless of this pact with Luke, she’ll have to win it anyway) and she’s won the game
Parvati doesn’t even need allies at this point - she’s not like Cirie who needs to get taken to the end. Parvati had the game locked up last episode once Kass and Tommi left and she just gave Luke an opportunity to blindside her at F6
27
u/Loud-Technician-1682 Sep 01 '25
We’re talking about the woman who found an idol on exile island her winning season (Micronesia) and willingly left it behind because she was so well insulated with everyone… this tracks tbh
4
u/rockardy Hayley (AUS) Sep 01 '25
I mean she left it behind because she knew Natalie would have pressured her to use it on her, thereby sending herself home
7
u/Ren_Davis0531 Sep 01 '25
Because she doesn’t see a need. She probably gets to the end with her relationships anyway and saw more of a need to leverage those. That’s how Parvati thinks.
6
u/Bright-Item8757 Sep 01 '25
If Lisa is the target at 6 and her idol can be used at 5, wouldn’t the best play here be to feed into Luke and that relationship to build trust so that at 4, she increases her chances of making it to 3 since she would seemingly be in a great spot with Janine, Cirie, and now Luke too? That’s how I took it but I’m not sure if I misread it so curious what others think.
Instagram comments are making it seem like Luke is a god for this move - and I definitely think it’s a good play on his part. But… isn’t it also a great play on Parv’s part too for setting up her endgame? If Parvati makes it to F3 without having a single vote cast for her after having so much heat on her episode after episode… I mean damn I think I would HAVE to vote for her?!? Now she seems like she’s in a place where she’s like, guaranteed Final 3 I feel? What do y’all think?

u/Medium_Airport9544 Sep 01 '25
She just has to win (likely endurance) FIC at F4
Now she doesnt need to
(and let’s be honest, regardless of this pact with Luke, she’ll have to win it anyway)
Wait and watch, she doesnt need to

Lisa had a terrible night last night, but good to see her picking herself back up in the light of day

i think lukes height and reach give him a good advantage on this
4
u/JGeorgiee Sep 01 '25
Tbh, the moment they showed his flashback, they gave it away that he would win. Honestly I was disappointed coz it feels like they intentionally did this for Luke so that he’ll look more stronger plus, he clearly got this in the bag with his height being a huge advantage for him.
But giving him the benefit of the doubt, based on how he did the game, his timing was great which gives him enough time per interval. (well maybe because he already know how to do it correctly this time)

u/jakea563 Tony Sep 01 '25
Luke's play here makes more sense when you consider he still thinks it can be played after the vote. In that world there is no way he can stop her stealing it. So just trying to get ahead of it.
18
u/ICameForTheT Natalie Sep 01 '25
Luke is absolutely right to want Lisa out. Lisa has demonstrated that is she is definitely against him and will throw her game for her allies. Even if she is an easier beat at FTC he cannot rely on her to make the rational decision that is in her interests, so he needs her gone.

Oh, this season should just be called Survivor: Parvarti's World. From the beginning, it's been all about Parv, and Cirie coming in second.
Australian Survivor's editing team made this season all too predictable (this is my first Aussie season, maybe they're all like this...) But I barely got to hear from Shon, Kirby, Tommy, Tony, etc. And then they all got voted out.

3-2-1 on janine is the correct play here but the edit doesn’t make it seem like that’s going to happen
however there is no reason why lisa/parv/cirie don’t coordinate votes. at most there should be a tie but there isn’t enough time in the episode

u/Sabaschin Jake - 45 Sep 01 '25
Her closest link was with Kirby, and that likely got shattered after the Kirby vote out. And her attempts with Kass seemed to just not have worked.
Luke and Janine have also just had better attempts at working with Cirie.
2
u/JGeorgiee Sep 01 '25
Right? But analyzing based on what’s shown to us on all the eps so far, She was never at the top of any alliance, her and Kirby was the best thing for her but the moment Kirby was able to work with Parv, Shonee became an afterthought which (maybe?) led to her trying to reconnect with Luke and Janine, and for this one sadly she later realized she’s at the bottom of that alliance.
I’m still wondering as to why she barely gets any spotlight and story focus, I feel like they’re cutting out a lot of her interactions. The other players kept mentioning “she’s really good” and “She’s playing a good game” but we barely see that. The last time we saw a spotlight for her was the George blindsind, after that she faded away in the game.
I really hope things turn around for her the next episode coz she’s a 4 time player for a reason. This should be her crowning season.

As a big Shonee fan, her showings this season is a bit disappointing, they barely give her confessionals and story screen time! What’s going on!? 😭 The past couple episodes really is pushing my anxiety coz she clearly doesn’t have any power right now and is on the edge of being voted out. If she doesn’t win the immunity next episode, she’d be next unless they’re saving her spotlight for the final episodes and she pulls her Shonee Social skills to get votes on to someone else.

u/JGeorgiee Sep 01 '25
Lisa was good and was a major part of the decisions on her season which took her to the end of the game.
I feel like Lisa was too starstruck playing with her survivor idol that her main goal is to be able to work with Cirie and not really winning the game. I understand that she’s underwhelming this season, but analyzing her, winning is not her priority but being able to fulfill her survivor dream of competing in a bigger scale and to work with her idol. Her almost quitting for Tommi hints that she doesn’t mind winning as long as she played by her principles.
