RHAP: We Know Survivor - Q and Tiffany Reunite for Survivor 46 Encore Episode

Episode Date: February 20, 2026

Q and Tiffany Reunite for Survivor 46 Encore Episode Today, Rob Cesternino is joined by Survivor 46’s Tiffany Ervin and Q Burdette to revisit the Survivor 46 encore episode. Rob, Tiffany, and Q dig ...deep into returning player anticipation, their wild adventures from season 46, and what to watch for as they return for Survivor’s landmark 50th season. The conversation launches with Rob reminiscing about the explosive dynamics of their original season. Tiffany shares how prepping for Survivor 50 brings the “Survivor headspace” roaring back, while Q reveals his boredom-busting ideas (like the notorious Hide and Seek game) and how camp life can spark as much strategy as any vote. The group dives into past missteps and shifting alliances, including the legendary not-quite-real “Six” alliance, and debates whether taking the strongest or weakest to the end really gets the win. Q and Tiffany dissect how one twist or confession can unravel the best-laid plans, with Tiffany recounting the idol drama and alliance shake-ups that left her questioning loyalty at every turn. They reflect on moments where playing the middle was golden—until trust disappeared and chaos reigned. And as buzz builds for Survivor 50, talk turns to how players like Charlie are underestimated, the lessons learned from “driving the bus” over your own alliance, and why chaotic moves sometimes make or break your shot at fire. – Why the “Six” was more myth than reality, and who really called the shots – Q’s strategy of stirring up camp boredom—and how hide and seek revealed players’ real skills – Tiffany’s dilemma when trust wavers and secrets (like idol locations) come out – How the battle for “who gets credit” fueled ego clashes, blindsides, and shifting targets – Their predictions for social dynamics and threats to watch as Survivor 50 approaches Survivor 50 is packed with returning fire and unfinished business. Can Tiffany and Q build new alliances or will old rivalries steer the strategy? Will chaotic gameplay pay off or backfire at the biggest season yet?

Starting point is 00:00:08 All right, we are back and ready for a new episode of QHAP. Yes. I like that. Yes. Am I DeKenzie now with Q and Tiffany? Do you want to be... I think you might be Bono. Yes.
Starting point is 00:00:33 All right, we just watched Hide and Seek, one of the classic episodes that CBS has rerun to get us ready for the big Survivor 50 coming up February 25th and we are here with Tiffany Nicole Irvin and Q. Burdett where's Charlie? He's hiding? I don't know. I think Charlie's kept out on this one. He might still be in the bushes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:59 Yeah. Well, this episode was really what a showcase it was because there was so much going on in this episode from everything there was strategy there was comedy there was tension this was a great episode of Survivor 46 and I've said
Starting point is 00:01:20 in talking about all these different seasons I love Survivor 46 I really I think it's my favorite season from the new era come all right now you're not just saying this because we're here right no I've said it before I've said it before and I like because it's spicy
Starting point is 00:01:35 I like that I like that you all fight I like that you all don't get along. It's not like, oh, we love each other. So there was big moves and there's tension. It's like, wait, who hates who? This is what I'm looking for from Survivor. For some reason, y'all are froze on my screen, but I can hear you. Maybe here's the Wi-Fi. You're frozen on my screen, too. Oh. All right. Oh, all right. Yeah, cute. We hear you fine. It seemed like a little, like, slow motion, like a little
Starting point is 00:02:11 eight-bit. No, no, you're frozen on my completely. Turn off the video games. Maybe you're using too much bandwidth. Are you using too much bandwidth? Let me see. Hang on.
Starting point is 00:02:22 Yeah. Tiffany, how are you doing? I'm doing great. You know, I'm very excited for 50. I feel like my brain is starting to recalibrate and get back into that survivor headspace because you know, sometimes like you shut it off when it's time for real life.
Starting point is 00:02:36 Yeah. Then when you start thinking about it again, it's like that level of excitement just consumes. you. Watching this episode, oh my God, like so many memories,
Starting point is 00:02:45 so much trauma. I feel like that episode was like the beginning of the end, at least for me. Yeah. Tiffany, yeah,
Starting point is 00:02:52 this is like the six is still a thing at this point and, you know, Tim and Soda had just gotten voted out and yeah,
Starting point is 00:03:00 this is the point where the six starts to collapse. Remember the six? Can I just say something? I remember it. I just, rewatching.
Starting point is 00:03:11 in this episode, it really brought back the same feelings that I had when I was out there. The six was such like a loose concept. Like there was never even a point where all six of us spoke to each other and are on the same page. Like the six was an idea. That was the beauty of it. It never even was a thing. That was a thing.
Starting point is 00:03:31 Wanted out of a conversation to flow through me. The six never was real. That's why I'm like, at that point. The six would have worked if Tiffany didn't go back on it. and they didn't try to get Maria voted out. Dude, this is never real. In my head, I'm like, all right, yeah, Q, like, whatever, the six to six. I don't give a crap about the six.
Starting point is 00:03:50 In my head, at that point in the game, the only people who I had investment in keeping in the game were Q and Kennedy. Like, I really didn't care about anything else. Even down to, like, the point where I was prepared to use my idol on all three of us because we were running the game at that point. We were all three in perfect position. We were dominated. We were steering boats. We were steering conversations. So, like, yeah, six, six, cool.
Starting point is 00:04:11 But us three, like, that's my main priority. But, you know, Q had to drive the bus, even if it meant driving it over himself. You know, in the episode that I don't remember what it was, but you talk about how you had just eaten. And now Q has like a, is rejuvenated now after having a meal. And now Q, he invents the Q skirt in this episode. he wants to play hide and seek.
Starting point is 00:04:44 So, yeah, Q, what was that like getting some food in you? It was just, you know, Yonu was a hot mess to start. You know, no fire, no food for the first, almost 13 days in the game. Then we go and we win a challenge where I actually have food and I have energy to do stuff. And the truth is, like I've said this, you get those moments when I'm bored. If I'm bored on the beach, I'm about to say. think of something to do and it involves me and everybody else. And hopefully it's fun.
Starting point is 00:05:16 Hopefully it's not. But for me, it's an opportunity to do something other than sit around. Because when you're on the beach, you can only talk strategy for so long. I can only talk to these people about where they're from and what they do and do they have a business. Are you really a billionaire? I can only talk about that crap for so long. Then it's time to, okay, let's kind of spice it up a little bit. Put a little cute flavor on it.
Starting point is 00:05:41 Now, Tiffany, you said Q had been wanting to play hide-and-seek since the beginning of the game. Yes. Literally, he asked us so many times on Yannu. Like, do you want to play hide-and-seek? You want to play how-to-seek? And I feel like he was so over me and Kinsey. We were like, no, like, leave us alone.
Starting point is 00:05:59 We want to go, like, lay on the beach and collect seashells. And we don't feel like running around. But we were also starving. So that played into why I was like, okay, fine. Like, I'm not as drained. You want to play hide-and-seek, fine, whatever. Like, let's do it. You seemed a little bit like you liked it when it was happening, though.
Starting point is 00:06:16 I did like this much. Like, maybe this much I did like it. Oh, come on. It was more than that. How to sit was fun. Like, for you to go get in, for Tiffany to go get in some bushes? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:28 Come on now. Like, all right, all right. You got that. Because I did get it. I'm a competitor. Because at the end of the day, even if it's just a little high, a game of high to seek, I'm like, well, I still don't want to be no loser. I don't care if there's no reward.
Starting point is 00:06:40 Like, I got it. to it. I did. Yeah. Q, had you been sitting on hide and seek since the beginning of the game that it was something that you wanted to do to watch how people moved? Right. Well, I wanted to do it on Yonu, so I could be it and have an opportunity to look for the idol
Starting point is 00:06:55 while they hide. Like, where is it? After I found out, Tiffany found, I was like, well, crap, it's no need to play hide and seek on this speech anymore. And I sat on it, sat on it to a perfect day when there's 10 of us. We're doing nothing else. Let's play. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:10 At that point, we didn't know Hunter had already found their idol on their beach. Yeah, he found out the next day. Yeah, yeah, we didn't know Hunter had it that day. Looking back and now how the season played out, were you right with anybody in terms of, like, what you discovered in hide and seek in terms of how they played the game? Oh, almost spot on with, like, being undercover and coming out at night, Kenzie being, you know, the social butterfly,
Starting point is 00:07:40 but sneaky can win, can play the game. And so it was a bunch of that. But Hunter, like that day, you got to remember, there was a day before we did the poll challenge. And the reason I volunteered to sit out of that challenge is because I just watched this guy, climb up in a tree, and step up, that game had to go on for at least 45 minutes to an hour.
Starting point is 00:08:04 And he was in the tree the whole time. So I'm thinking of myself, he's going to hold on this pole way longer than me. Why would I try to compete? So I was trying to get other people to see that as well, but that revealed that Hunter can hang on a pole for a long time for me. So it was fun, but it also revealed some things for me. Like Liz, that's when I started to realize like Liz,
Starting point is 00:08:26 she want to play, as much as she sits around and do nothing, she's actually engaged a little bit. And there was the first time, and then here we go with the Applebee's thing. coming up soon. They should have shown that episode too. Oh, my God. That would have been crazy.
Starting point is 00:08:43 Because Tiffin and I were still arguing and we went to a reward together and we still, they could have picked a lot of episodes from 46. I can't say that about a lot of seasons in a new era. You know, they have one or two great moments, great episodes. But 46, I feel like from the start all the way to the end, you can go and just pick one. I don't know about from the start. I think there was a couple episodes where, Which one?
Starting point is 00:09:09 It was going on with Banu for a little long. Well, Bono, but even... What you mean? I'm going to say, even with Bono, BATI, what was when Randin got medevaced?
Starting point is 00:09:20 That's prime time television. That's scandal. People want drama. It gets the people going. Yeah, no, it does get really good. It's a very, very fun second half of the season.
Starting point is 00:09:32 And with everybody going out with the idols, there's so much good stuff. Also, that you invented the Q skirt in this episode. Yeah. Hey, let me tell you something about the Q skirt. I was so over it. I was so over it. The Q scope in my mind was the next big game.
Starting point is 00:09:52 Because it's all I have. I don't have anybody else other than my castmates telling me it's good. They ain't telling me it's bad. They should have made it. But they did. So now I'm gaslight. I'm Q scroding it up. I'm wearing it to tribal.
Starting point is 00:10:06 but the Q-scope came in handy because it was so wrapped up in the Q-score. I could hide stuff in it. I mean, I would play it, but I hid my idol in it well. So the Q-skirt was my way again of being bored, having fun. But, hey, let's put some fashion on it, man. Oh, my God, please. Do you ever get Tiffany a Q-skirt? No, I was not on board with the Q-skirt.
Starting point is 00:10:33 I think I was the one person that he never sold on a Q-skirt. I was not doing it. Why? What's wrong with the Q skirt? Really, really the Q skirt is really for guys. So I was trying to sell the guys on it. Guys are the ones who carry the fanny packs. And they have to carry the extra blanket in the bag.
Starting point is 00:10:51 And if the guys are wearing it, come on now. Yeah, because women have a purse a lot of times. We have no, we don't have enough places to put stuff. There we go. No. So my target audience, as you can see, I went to Charlie and tried to see him up with a cue skirt. You know?
Starting point is 00:11:09 Yeah. I was talking to Tim and talked to Hunter. But I knew eventually Tiffany and all of them would come around and wear the Q skirt. But then tribal happened. And then I all went to hell. Yes. That's what I asked Tiffany as a Q skirt participant. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:24 Right. Okay. Well, Tiffany, of course, this is a very famous tribal council where everything seems like, okay, this is going pretty normal. and then Q says, hey, I want everybody to vote me out at this tribal council. I was so confused. I was so confused because at that point, right, I was still locked in with Q. Like, I was still loyal to the point where I was not willing to write his name down under any circumstances. And I had no idea all these conversations were going on about trying to get me out because I didn't view Venus as a threat.
Starting point is 00:11:59 I'm like, first of all, this imaginary six that ain't never supposed to be. to each other one time. You think I care about Maria, me and her haven't even talked about being in the Lions together. I care about me, you, and Kenzie, and we're running this game, and we have an item. So then, when Q starts talking about something, I made a mistake, send me home,
Starting point is 00:12:18 I'm like, bro, you are my number one, what is happening? I can't afford for you to go home. So I was confused, and then when I realized that he told people about my idol, I'm like, what is going on here? What is happening? It was like, whiplash. And for the record, I never told Charlie.
Starting point is 00:12:38 And I told you this. I saw, no, but you didn't lie. He said, I never told Charlie. I don't know how he found out. At that point, I didn't believe nothing said, I'm like, you were a liar. You told Maria, Maria told Charlie. That's right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:49 But at that point, I was confused because I didn't want Q to go home. When he started talking at, like, Q, please, what are you talking about? Like, we are literally in the perfect spot right now. We're in the middle. We have an idol. Why do you want to leave? But, Q, that's pretty impressive that you say you want to go home. And normally people like, somebody says, I want to go home.
Starting point is 00:13:09 Everybody's like, okay, bet, go. Get out of here. You said, hey, vote me out. And they still didn't do it. I don't think I got one vote that time. You want to know something funny? I always tell people that season 46 was like the backstab Olympics. It was like Battle of the Eagles.
Starting point is 00:13:25 Because at that point, and you saw an episode, so, I mean, Tevin, Venus, Liz, everybody's fighting for the move. So at that point, Q trying to self-eliminate, I think it was less about, like, people being like, I can't afford to lose Q, except for me.
Starting point is 00:13:39 I really was thinking that. But everybody else is like, well, this isn't my move. I want my move to go through. I want to be the guy. I want to be the blind side. Everybody was fighting over who would get to be the backstabber. And it's like, y'all, please,
Starting point is 00:13:52 what's the bigger picture? Yeah. I mean, that whole Nami tribe with the who was going to get credit for soda going at, out and then Venus wanted the credit and Kevin was laughing at her, that Venus thought she got the credit, and then Liz was mad, that Kevin was taking the credit, and that was her idea. I mean, they should talk about that tribe was the disaster tribe. No, that tribe was crazy.
Starting point is 00:14:17 That trio right there fighting for position to be the biggest backstabber. I truly believe in my heart that that was the reason why nobody was focused on Q because they're like, Q, get out of the way. We have our own plans. I want my, everybody was like, I want my plan to be the plan that happens tonight. And that's really what ended up happening. But, you know, I look back on it and I say, that's the one thing that we should have never let happen. We should have never allowed Liz to come to us with a plan and a move and we just jump on it. What the what?
Starting point is 00:14:58 Well, sir, the one thing that should have never happened was that you should have never backstab because we could have sent Liz home. We could have sent them all home. But look, this was my thing. We was so good in the middle. Nobody was looking at us until you started to throw out a name. They're like, oh, Tiff said this. Okay. Nope.
Starting point is 00:15:20 Let me talk. So that is like, the only person, the only person who I said Maria's name to was you. No, Kevin. No, no. No, no. I only said to Tevin, why are we getting rid of Venus? Nobody is taking her serious. I said, let's see how the immunity challenge plays out.
Starting point is 00:15:40 I never mentioned Maria's name to anybody but you because you were the only one who I trusted. And then you told Maria, I'm like, bro, what the heck? Yeah, but I had an MS to up hell, man. I had rules and regulations. It's the fucking cute. But look, hey, I always say this, and I've told you this personally,
Starting point is 00:15:59 I made a big mistake. Yeah, you did. Stupid. I did. I should have never turned. But here's the thing. If I never turned and I'll never do that, we had the perfect opportunity, really, after that happened.
Starting point is 00:16:19 Yeah, I know. To have everybody thinking we're at odds, getting all the information, and then we're making, but we just couldn't get that. We just couldn't because I was mad. And Q took you into that reward. He took her Applebee's with Kenzie. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:35 Yeah. Command things and make it right. Yeah. But at that point, the train already left the station because then Kenzie started talking about trying to get me out. Everybody said, well, Tiffany name already got mentioned. She still got an idol. Like, at that point, once the cat was out of the bag,
Starting point is 00:16:48 it was no point in. Yeah. You know, in this episode also, that there was some talk about how the two of you look at the game. And Q, you said, that Tiffany, she wants to play the goat game. She wants to take the worst person to the end of the game so she can beat them. That's not how you view the game.
Starting point is 00:17:10 You said you're a game changer. You're going to change the way that people play Survivor. Do you think that that did have an impact in the way that people play the game since Survivor 46? Well, I think it's changed in a way that they recognize. a player like me who's going to create some chaos and say, you know what? We don't want this fellow. But I also think now people are starting to ask,
Starting point is 00:17:38 because there was the first time y'all heard me say it, but I was saying it all the long, like I want to take competition to the end because it gives us a better shot at if we do win, actually, you know what I mean? Because I don't like watching it with somebody getting three votes, four votes, Zero votes.
Starting point is 00:17:58 I want a battle. And I want to battle with folks who I think is worthy. So that was my thing, but I wasn't afraid to sit next to anybody, me personally. And that's why I was thinking like that. Now, looking back on it, again, there were moves that were made that shouldn't have been made at the time it was made. But I also say, if those moves aren't made, are we here right now talking? Yeah. I mean, listen, season 46 is an iconic season. The only qualm I have with it is that I didn't win.
Starting point is 00:18:33 Going back and watching it, thoroughly entertained. Tide on my life. I would do it again if I could. Tiffany, do you agree with how Q looked at your game that you were trying to go to the end with people that were very easy to beat? Yeah, I think he had a good read on it, but also only to a certain extent, though, right? because we were just, it was so early in the game to be trying to shake things up like that.
Starting point is 00:19:02 I'm like, right now, there's no need to be trying to get rid of people that are not making a difference in the game. Right now, we just started the individual immunity portions. Why not just get out people that are not only a threat to us winning, but intelligent enough to realize the rules that the Yanu 3 is running on its whole tribe? Like, that was my thing. I didn't want the jig to be up for me, Q and Kenzie. Because we had our roots so deep.
Starting point is 00:19:30 We were like kind of the middle. Siga and Nami were both fighting to pull us towards him. I'm like, all right, I'm more focused on getting rid of the people that might see through that early. Give us a little longevity before we actually start having to pull the trigger. You know, I think one of the interesting votes that doesn't get as much attention because it was more focused on the soda side of things was the vote to take Tim out. And I always felt like that was surprising that Tim is the person who went home. I hated that vote so bad. So for me, Tim, it would have been being.
Starting point is 00:20:02 But Tim was pushing Hunter so hard. Like he could not just get off of, yo, okay, either I can save myself or I can save Ben. Because Hunter's not going anywhere right now. He couldn't flip that switch to get off of her. But see, the thing is, That morning before the challenge, I told Hunter, Tevin, and some other friends said, look, I don't know what the challenge is, but Tim has to go tonight because he's trying to play with the six.
Starting point is 00:20:32 He's trying to play with the Seagler members. I don't even trust this guy. So in that challenge, when I jumped off, my thing was I jumped off on Tim's side on purpose to try to make him fall as well. But I didn't know we was going to be split up in six and six. I did not know that going into that challenge. but I knew if he didn't win, I wanted to make sure he went home. And it was so, it was good that it happened.
Starting point is 00:20:56 But in that episode, episode before, men fighting because at one moment, it seemed like I was saying, okay, Ben. Okay, at one moment, I was saying, Tim. But what had happened was, Tiffany had said, we was at the water well, you and Kenzie had just got the flowers or something. And he was like, you, like, all the moves can't be yours. I was like, Ben don't have the idol. He was like, we don't know that. I said, you want to go Ben then? He was like, yeah, I want to go Ben there.
Starting point is 00:21:24 I was like, yeah, I want to go Ben there. Then he was like, but I was like, damn, let's go Tim to Tim. Like, I was trying to. Yeah, I didn't want to get rid of Tim at that point. But me and Q, we definitely have friction because like you said, like it kept flip flopping and flip flopping. I'm like, I want Ben. Like, let's get Ben out.
Starting point is 00:21:42 But I do agree that like Tim was very stuck on Hunter. And me, Q and Kenzie also. did know that we didn't want to get Hunter. So, like, I was trying to, like, tell him without telling them, like, it got to be been, like, you're going to have to turn on your boy, but I couldn't say that. But at the end of the day, again, this six, I can't really fault Tim for trying to go for Hunter because, again, we did not talk. It was just something that was decided.
Starting point is 00:22:11 I'm like, we never came together and solidify anything. So, of course, Tim is not weighing this. very heavily. But I also could not flip on Q and Kenzie because these are people I've been working with since day one. So I'm like, if my two strongest allies in this game think that it has to be Tim, then I'll acquiesce because I don't want to cause friction with them so early in the merge. Like, I'm like, we got to be in accord because when we go back to camp, Yon 3 still got to be in lockstep. So I was like, fine, Tim. But I didn't really want Tim to go home. Tiffany, can you give us people who just watch the show perspective?
Starting point is 00:22:52 What's it like to play with Q? You know what? It's very, I mean, people call him chaotic. Chaos Q for a reason. It's chaotic because you just really don't know what you're going to get. And I'm not going to say it's not enjoyable because I really did enjoy playing with Q. Like I said, Q was one of my closest friends in the game and my closest. this ally up until, you know, he decided to blow it up.
Starting point is 00:23:21 But really, you just never know what you're going to get. It's chaotic, but it's fun, very frustrating, not for the faint of heart. And so I'll ask them to it. I think a lot of it is they now know, I think, now know. Like, I can only be convinced to do what I want to do. like if I don't want to do it, I'm not going to do it, period. And I will fight it.
Starting point is 00:23:53 So now I think it's, they have to understand if you figure out what I want to do or you convince me to do that, that's perfect. But then the chaos starts to come. It's like, okay, if I trust Tiffany, and then I hear something that I shouldn't be hearing from Tiffany, I switch on a dime.
Starting point is 00:24:12 But I'm the same way in real life. like, for instance, I hire somebody and they're doing awesome and they're doing great and we have rules and we say, hey, just don't do X. The second they do X is no second chance. Bye-bye. So, I think I, yeah, big mistake. But I think I went too overboard in the game with being able to react so quickly. You know, I have to be able to step back.
Starting point is 00:24:38 Okay, think it through logically. Don't just, uh-huh. Maybe just, you know what I'm saying? I couldn't learn that on 46. It was all, but here's the thing. When you play for the first time, you don't learn stuff like that,
Starting point is 00:24:55 I don't think. Because you're in the moment and you don't know what's next and you're not watching it back now to say, well, dang, I should have done X. So it's fun, but it's one of those things where I could go back and change one thing about my gameplay. is I would show more of the thinking side of it
Starting point is 00:25:19 because I used to stay up all night. I used to tend to the fire. I used to burn all the firewood on purpose. That way they can just go out. I have to find more the next day. But I was always thinking like, damn, how can I get this? How can I do that?
Starting point is 00:25:34 And then when something kind of roadblocks it from happening, I go crazy. Yeah. I think that was like one of the biggest friction points with me and Q, and this is just like, our personalities, we're so different, but we're so similar. We're both very bullheaded, and I think the
Starting point is 00:25:52 fundamental difference between Q and I is that Q wants to go from A to B to C, to get to D. And I'm like, it could be B, C, A, it could be B, A, C, we're still going to get to D. There's more than one way to get to it, but Q was like, no.
Starting point is 00:26:08 It's one way, and it's a fixed way, and if it's not that way, then there's no alphabet at all. But it's, and see, where I do a poor job at is talking to my ally and saying, listen, I see it this way because I've thought about it all night, a half of it going A, B, C, to get the D. I haven't thought all the risk and the returns of skipping A to go to C and come back to A and what if I don't get to come back to A?
Starting point is 00:26:36 Mm-hmm. You know what I'm saying? So, but it's so fun. This episode right here, it shows a lot. It shows, you know, the game of the highs of the highs, the highs of the smiles and the energy and the, then it shows, hey, send me home, Loers of the Loads.
Starting point is 00:26:55 Yeah. Okay. Charlie is also going to be in season 50 with you two. What's one thing about Charlie that you two picked up on in this episode? For me. Well, you could go first. No, you go first, Tiff. Okay.
Starting point is 00:27:10 This is my room. This was the episode. this was an episode that made me, that made my radar go off for Charlie. And it kind of actually established like a bit of a working relationship with me and Charlie, even though it didn't turn out the way I wanted it to.
Starting point is 00:27:28 Charlie's the one who told me that Q told everybody about the idol. And I'm like, oh, Charlie's playing. Charlie is not afraid to play both sides and Charlie's not afraid to blow something up. So that was what kind of. kind of open my eyes to the fact that Charlie was doing a lot of behind the scene stuff that made me feel like he was a lot more of a threat that I need to pay attention to
Starting point is 00:27:54 than before. Because I wasn't really checking for Charlie before this episode, but when he told me about the Q thing, I'm like, oh, all right, this guy is playing a much different game than I thought he was. Yep. And after on the island, what I picked up on Charlie was the way he reacted, when he was not safe. So Charlie was a different Charlie
Starting point is 00:28:17 when he had the immunity necklace and he was safe. He would go up and he would give his input more. When he wasn't, oh man, he was quiet as a church mouth. Right. Yes, yes. Okay, okay, good, perfect. And I think what it showed in this episode was
Starting point is 00:28:34 he have the ability to strike when he feel like it's right. Like dropping, Q told me you had the idol, although I didn't tell him, he knew that there would cause friction and Tiffany and I and the Yanu 3 to where now he can bust it wide open. He can now utilize pieces the way he see fit. And he was playing the middle so well to where, you know, when he's talking to me, I believe, hey, I'm in full control of this guy.
Starting point is 00:29:04 He goes to somebody else. They feel like they're in the full control of this guy. But he's the one that's making that decision at the end of the day to say, okay, which side do I really want to be in control of me at this point in time? And here we go. And, you know, you fast forward, three votes. That's why one of the reasons why I did not play my idol was because I'm thinking like, they have to see that Charlie is a much bigger threat than me right now.
Starting point is 00:29:29 And I'm hoping they think the jury hates me because at that point in time, everybody else that went out the game went out writing my name. So it's like, okay, they must hate this guy. And he loved Charlie. Let's try to get Charlie. But I didn't calculate Liz or having it out for me still after the Applebee's. I don't know. Why you didn't calculate that?
Starting point is 00:29:52 Who got? We are only a couple of weeks away from Survivor 50. And so we're so excited. I will share with both of you. I was in a draft that we did back in June. And I'll say that. Both of you are on my draft team that I drafted for Survivor 50. We did it right after everybody left.
Starting point is 00:30:15 And both of you, I said, I have three, you know, I don't remember who the third person is on my team. But I know Tiffany and Q are two of my three people that I drafted. There we go. You know how to draft them. You know how to pick them. Yeah. I mean, listen, I'll say to you the same thing I say to everybody when they draft me.
Starting point is 00:30:33 I hope I don't disappoint. And that's all I hope I make you proud. Yes. Well, you were my pick also in $7546 also. So it would be doubly let me down if it doesn't work out in 50. And I feel like people are, people are sleep on Q. I feel like that they underestimate him. And so I'm very much looking forward to seeing. I feel like people over like not.
Starting point is 00:30:57 Tiffany. No, no, not in that way. I feel like people are afraid of him. I feel like people like Q lives rent free in people's heads. I don't know. underestimate, please. I think people are obsessed with it. Well, we'll see how it all plays out.
Starting point is 00:31:11 February 25th. Anything else? Either of you want to let people know? I do, but it's not about Survivor 50. I just wanted to say to you that I really enjoyed watching you on the traders. And I was so mad when they sent you home. I was like, oh, no. You were mad.
Starting point is 00:31:24 No. I thank you so much. I appreciate it. I just want to say something to the folks because I know today, we're about six days away from Survivor 50. Yes. and you've watched about eight episodes of the past. Tell me what you think about them eight episodes.
Starting point is 00:31:44 Now, tell me what you think about episode eight of season 46. I think it's much better than those, right? So, if you think the way that I think, if you think the way that I think, you should tune in to season 50 to see two of the best from 46. to do what I think. Okay.
Starting point is 00:32:11 I'm excited. I can't wait. There you have it. You heard it from Q. Thank you both so much. I think you're always both so fun to talk to and can't wait to see what happens on season 50. All right. Take care.
