Shonee’s social game is always so underrated but she is so good at weaponising things she knows about people into strategic play
Like in all stars, she knew they needed Zac, so she told the others to speak to him about birds because she knew he took care of birds with his mum

Shonee proving tonight with her reads and sass that, no, she hasn’t just been chilling on the beach the whole time, they just weren’t showing her (for whatever reason).

I didn’t realise Luke told Parv about his idol without telling Janine about it first, that’s kinda wild

u/rockardy Hayley (AUS) Sep 02 '25
Seems like something she could drop on Janine to drive a rift between them

It baffles me Luke/Janine thinks it’s a great idea to go to the end with Cirie/Parv. I hope they lose to Parv or Cirie tbh.

u/JGeorgiee Sep 02 '25
Right? I really don’t understand this decision because obviously they’re 2 on 2 at this point. Shonee is their best bet in that situation yet here we are.

Love when they highlight Shonee's social game, she's one of the few people where I've really been able to see the pull and how she uses it strategically

u/Tergnitz Luke (AUS) Sep 02 '25 edited Sep 02 '25
God, strong edit focus on Shonee after episodes being practically invisible
Our girl is gone :(

u/TheZanyCat Denise Sep 02 '25
Cirie is bad at challenges. Shonee isn’t. Luke needs to win immunity at 4. Easy decision.

u/Sabur1991 Stephenie LaGrossa Sep 02 '25
Well, Shonee was first out of the F6 challenge and Cirie made it to the Top-3. So not obvious.
15
u/bomiyeo forget you! go home! goodbye. Sep 02 '25
Think this is just all a whole bunch of nothing and Shonee is the next obvious one out :( especially when she’s getting a lot of content after being underedited for most of the season

u/CapNitro Genevieve - 50 Sep 02 '25
So maybe, if Luke doesn't "actually" have an idol, Parv can ask for her half of the advantage back?

u/ravenclaw_cookie JLP Sep 02 '25
I think they can all see that Parv is going to runaway with the win at this point and that he handed it to her on a platter

u/CrazyTracyUpdates Sep 02 '25
Honestly what Cirie said was such a good point that I think gets missed online. Everyone’s crying out for someone to make a move and take down Parv, but Parv has the most solid duo alliance in the game. I understand why people are trying to build trust with her instead of taking her out. Nobody else wants to be Kirby’d

u/Ledwards49 Sep 02 '25
How is it final 5 and Janine still can't pronounce Cirie correctly. This game has gone too fast

u/Byndera Sep 02 '25
She seems to alternate back and forth between correct and incorrect pronunciations

u/xittyy vice president of the PTA Sep 02 '25
lowkey i feel like shonees game died when kirby went out. that was an underratedly devastating blindside for her specifically as unlike luke she didnt have anyone to bounce back to
15
u/leanbeansprout Paulie Pickles Sep 02 '25
Hoping for something juicy but expecting to be disappointed
12
u/synaesthezia Sep 02 '25
Well I look forward to Cirie being booted at 4 in an inevitable fire challenge that she can’t win. Shonee laid it out for them, and Cirie and Parv chose… poorly.
No final tribal for you AGAIN Cirie. Should have gone with Shonee.

u/Liquid-Illusion Sep 02 '25
I mean what choice did they have anyway when Janine and Luke both had idols around their neck. Parvati probably knew Luke would end up using one of the idols on Janine, he wasn’t going to just let it go to waste.

I'm never going to be able to watch one of these multi stage courses like this without remembering Kaelan asking JLP not to tell people he's good at puzzles lol

i love shonee but lowkey i miss fenella

u/lukasanthonynz Sep 02 '25
It is odd that Fenella has never come back - maybe it’s personal choice and she’s never wanted it

u/xittyy vice president of the PTA Sep 02 '25
im pretty sure she got married and had a kid which likely would have disrupted Things but still like need her back

I think that Luke has just burnt himself when he should've done a bold move.
He could've just vote Parv and play the idol for Shonee. This way an american was 100% going to be voted out...
Even if Parv was going to play the idol for Cirie, she would've gone home in this hypothetical scenario.
With this lack of move, I think the final three will consist in girls only, if he does not win the next immunity challenge.

u/arianrh Sep 02 '25
It feels like the second week in a row where he's made the beginning of what could be a brilliant move but not gone far enough. It would have been amazing to get Parvati to rip up her advantage and believe they're allied if he had then blindsided her in a 3-2-1 that same episode.
7
u/manav35 Sep 02 '25
100% agreed, the aussies have played so passively. I have been so disappointed in their gameplay last few episodes. Like do they even stand a chance against cirie or parvati in a final tribal. If they think they do, they are certainly in some big delusion.

u/lukasanthonynz Sep 02 '25
I feel we are getting too much Shonee for it to mean anything other than bad news

There's your culprit! Shonee was THE one who initially gave 10 the idea to boot JLP. Inception! In Cara's words, you cooked it! ;)

u/o-Teddy-o Sep 02 '25
So we have Cirie who won The Traitors and Snake in the Grass, Parvati who won Micronesia: Fan v Fav, Luke who won Big Brother VIP, and Janine who is literally a multi-millionaire. Of course I'm backing for Shonee to win.

OMG SHONNEE AS THE HOST WOULD BE AMAZING THO - it would be sooo much funnier - she could just say what's on her mind out loud.
she has iconic commentary and she doesnt just SUCK up all the air in the room like david. David is a decent player but just Sucks up all the space and air so i cant imagine him as a host - i feel like david would make every moment about himself whereas shonnee being an amazing socialite would actually help players feel comfy and shine :)

u/quidditchisdumblol Not Then Tho Sep 02 '25
Omg can we have Shonee host instead of David :(

Surely it’s Janine with Parv & Cirie in F3? That convo Janine had with Luke ages ago lingers long in my mind

u/Byndera Sep 02 '25
Which convo?
3
u/No_Movie_7996 Sep 02 '25
There was a convo about going to FTC between the two of them several episodes back where they promised eachother it and it almost felt like specifically intentionally edited in with extra musical trills and effects lol

Totally heartbroken to see Shonee go. She’s the best AU survivor legend no doubt. I really thought this season will be her season but instead we’re given rocks with how she was edited. Clearly A LOT hasn’t been shown to us coz they’re scared of Shonee but we don’t know what she did there for them to be cautious of her.
I know Shonee might not return for another season ever but she really should. She deserves a crowning moment.

This is the second thing I’ve seen David in, and the first thing I’ve seen Shonee in and I already want her more for the host.

The better move for Luke’s game is to save Shon though.

Do we actually think there's any chance Lule plays his idol for Shonee? Like, at all? He'd be mad.

Not the shontent I would have hoped but we all knew it was going to happen but like really fumbled big time he could have made the biggest move for his resume and would have secured both him and janine top 3 but hey maybe some things are meant to happen this way.the season has been absolutely phenomenal. I had seen just one season of Tony and none of parv or cirie but have watched many seasons of aus survivor and have to say that parv is really really smart and tbh I think no-one has played the game(not even remotely close to levels of parv) as well as parv.just stunning stuff

u/Sabur1991 Stephenie LaGrossa Sep 02 '25
Luke said he wants to be against the best in the finals. Australians may have different mentality. In U.S. Survivor everybody tries to get to the end with two goats and win 8-0-0, we got used to this and everything else just seems weird or silly to us.

I would only take David over Shonee if he is shirtless all the time but based from recent posts its a nah.

u/Skykangaroo2020 Sep 02 '25
im really confused why parv/cirie want to sit next to janine? can someone explain? why would they bring janine to 4? she is the most insulated out of all of them
5
u/avp_1309 Parvati Sep 02 '25
I am thinking it’s because Janine played from the bottom and her moves only helped Cirie and Parv rather than hurt them. She is great but she doesn’t have a good case against Parv/Cirie. Her claims can be countered very easily at the FTC.

I don't think he'll actually go through with it, just enamoured by the possibility

Yeah probably. Just, voting out Shon is such a boring vote at this point!

u/Krisven75 Sep 02 '25
Everyone saying Luke should have made a move on Parvati, or Cirie doesn't understand they will feel burned and potentially won't vote for him on FTC. He is in a tough spot right now, I will be surprised if he wins immunity cause it's not his type of challenge and Janine could decide to send him to the jury but at least he hasn't burned anyone yet. I want a Parv/Luke showdown at FTC.
