Charlie Davis spoke about investing in himself and finishing school while on Survivor 46.
He did exactly that and finished law school. Now he can begin the next chapter in his life.
Charlie became a fan-favorite Season 46 castaway, often relating Taylor Swift’s lyrics to what he was experiencing in Fiji.
It even led to a jury member ordering him not to mention Taylor Swift as he tried to get their votes.
Now back in the United States, Charlie can quote his favorite singer as often as he wants. And that happened in a recent video shared online.
Charlie shared a video where he was in the shower singing about why he was saddened by Maria Gonzalez not voting for him. Of course, Taylor Swift’s music was playing.

When Jeff Probst declared at the start of “Survivor” Season 41 that the “New Era” could best be described as, “Drop the 4, keep the 1,” he wasn’t kidding. It’s clear the host/producer envisions the revamped version of the reality TV show that takes place post-Covid and with more diversity representation as a fresh start. That’s likely why we haven’t had any players from the first 40 seasons pop up on our TV screens in a long while. In fact, the last comeback cycle was “Winners at War,” which welcomed back 20 past champions for Season 40 in 2020.

On May 31, 2000, CBS unveiled Survivor, a reality competition series produced by Mark Burnett that would become a juggernaut, inspiring spinoffs and imitators over the ensuing decades. The Hollywood Reporter’s original review of its season 1 premiere is below:
The concept is insulting, the presentation is deceptive and the narration is laughingly overdramatic, and yet somehow, Survivor turns all of this into intriguing television that practically dares you to click the remote, knowing that you won’t.
In the U.S. version of this British reality show, 16 people are divided into two teams and dropped off a couple hours’ swim from a remote island in the South China Sea. They are given a baffling array of supplies, including knives, fishing traps, cans of food, a map to potable water and even a team flag, but no matches or port-a-potties. Clearly, this is no three-hour tour.

Hunter McKnight finished in ninth place on Survivor 46, and now he has a video showing what happened after his torch was snuffed.
Hunter looked like someone who could win Survivor 46 early in the season. But it just wasn’t meant to be, as he also became a threat to many players.
Despite having an Immunity Idol in his pocket, Hunter got voted out at a pivotal Tribal Council on Day 17. He finished in ninth place and became the third jury member.
On finale night, Hunter voted for Charlie Davis to win. He was one of only three people who voted for Charlie, and Kenzie Petty became the Survivor 46 winner.
We didn’t see much of Ponderosa as the season progressed, as the production team stopped releasing footage.

Survivor 46 players have been receiving backlash due to events from the recent season.
Maria Gonzalez is one player who has received blowback from fans who are frustrated that she didn’t vote for Charlie Davis to win.
Maria and Charlie had worked together for most of the season, but on finale night, Maria voted for Kenzie Petty to win the $1 million prize.
The Survivor 46 jury also appeared to treat Charlie and Ben Katzman harshly as the players argued about why they deserved to win.
Disagreements between castaways also surfaced on social media as the season wound down.
Venus Vafa said Ponderosa was “traumatizing” for her, leading to online feuds with several castaways. And then fans piled on.

The production team is back in Fiji to film new seasons of Survivor.
These new seasons will air in the fall and spring on CBS, and new players will compete for the $1 million prize.
During the Survivor 46 season finale, we saw the first footage from the upcoming season, but they weren’t done filming yet.
Survivor 47 and Survivor 48 will be filmed back-to-back, allowing producers to introduce new twists that players haven’t seen before.
While some Survivor fans are already looking ahead to Season 50, we still have three new seasons to play before that momentous installment.
As usual, host Jeff Probst has been teasing details about what is happening in Fiji.

Survivor 46 winner Kenzie Pretty just debuted a shocking new hairstyle that shakes things up.
Survivor fans may have become familiar with Kenzie’s long red hair on the show, but that’s not her natural hair color.
After her time in Fiji, Kenzie began growing out her natural hair. It’s entirely possible that she decided to go that route instead of using hair dye.
Kenzie recently revealed that she is pregnant, so going back to her normal hair color might be a result.
The baby is with her husband, who patiently waited for her to finish playing Survivor to celebrate their union. The topic of her wedding came up during Survivor, and she mentioned that it had been pushed back.
Kenzie also noted that she hasn’t gone back to her natural color ” in about 16 years.”

Survivor fans have enjoyed the past few years when pop star Sia awarded her own money to contestants. However, Jeff Probst announced this week that Sia has chosen not to take part in giving out money anymore. While it has come to an end, one Season 46 contestant wants to personally keep this idea alive.
Here is who wants to replace Sia in awarding prize money and how they want to start this endeavor.
Survivor Contestant Wants To Start Their Own Prize Fund
Sia has awarded her favorite Survivor contestants cash prizes every year since 2016. That year, she gave $50,000 to Tai Trang and another $50,000 to an animal charity of his choice.

The Sia Prize has become a familiar post-season award to fun players from each Survivor cast.
Singer Sia had given out cash prizes to the players she most enjoyed watching each season.
Sia enjoyed rewarding several players each season, with recent winners including Kaleb Gebrewold, Jake O’Kane, Carolyn Wiger, Carson Garrett, and Elaine Stott.
Players had been getting up to $100,000 for being her favorite player in a season or $15,000 for being entertaining. And she did this for eight years.
Sia is one of the biggest Survivor fans out there, and the players getting her prize would usually get invited to meet and party with her.
But it is the end of an era, as it has been announced that Sia is done with the prizes and that nobody from the Survivor 46 cast will get one.

Charlie Davis proved on Survivor 46 that he is the biggest Taylor Swift fan the show has seen.
It even led to a jury member (Tiffany Ervin) lashing out at him during the final speeches.
But Charlie isn’t ashamed about being a part of the Swifties (Taylor Swift fan group).
During the Survivor 46 season finale, Charlie lost the jury vote to Kenzie Petty.
Had his bestie from the game, Maria Gonzalez, voted for him, it would have created a tie. Ben Katzman also said he would have voted for Charlie to break the tie.
The vote means Charlie likely missed out on winning the $1 million due to how Maria voted. Now that he can share his feelings about what happened in Fiji, Charlie posted a video on social media.

Survivor 46 just ended with Kenzie Petty shockingly winning. The season had some of the worst gameplay in years. Several people left the island with Immunity Idols in their pockets, and blindsides happened all the way into the finale. Now, with a Survivor 47 promo already released, there is some thought that changes are needed.
One thought is that Jeff Probst needs to go.
Should Jeff Probst Leave Survivor?
Survivor 46 was a weird season. The season set a record for bad gameplay, with more people eliminated while holding Immunity Idols than any other season in history. Additionally, the end was a shock, as Maria betrayed her ally Charlie by voting against him in the jury decision. This cost him the million-dollar prize and likely ended their friendship.
Now, some people think that Jeff Probst might be the problem. The current season is the fifth in the “new era” for Survivor where there have been formatting changes.

Producer Mark Burnett expected a hit when he sent 16 contestants and a then-unknown 38-year-old host named Jeff Probst to the Borneo island of Malaysia for an adaptation of the Swedish competition show Expedition Robinson. What he got instead was a cultural phenomenon. Survivor instantly became a ratings juggernaut, and viewership for the first season finale reached north of 50 million. Reality TV existed before Survivor, but the show’s low overhead and potential for mass appeal single-handedly ushered in the reality-competition boom.
In the 24 years since it hit airwaves, Survivor has morphed from a “social experiment” into television’s most complex and grueling competition, with players practically raised on the show elevating it to new heights of strategy. Its motto—“Outwit. Outplay. Outlast.”—speaks to the complex permutations of physical strength, mental acumen, and social skills that can produce winners as diverse as season 30’s Mike Holloway, who got himself to...

Danielle Reyes is ready to compete again on reality television.
Returning for Big Brother: Reindeer Games got the competitive juices flowing for Danielle, and she hopes to appear on TV again.
Big Brother fans met Danielle on Season 3 of the hit summer show. She became a favorite to win but finished as the runner-up when the BB3 jury got to see her Diary Room sessions.
Danielle also appeared on Big Brother: All-Stars (BB7), finishing in sixth place. That season saw Mike “Boogie” Malin become the winner.
CBS tried a new incarnation of its hit reality show this past summer, inviting nine well-known players to compete in a winter spin-off.
Danielle joined Big Brother winners Nicole Franzel, Cody Calafiore, Taylor Hale, and five other players to compete on the first season of Big Brother: Reindeer Games.

When the universe offers a sign — and the sign comes straight from the lips of Nicolas Cage — you can’t ignore it.
That, in essence, is how 31-year-old guitarist Ben Katzman found himself on Survivor. The paperwork sat on his desk, but Katzman was racked with doubt. He’d already lost everything once: his band, his record label, his DIY community. Going on reality television seemed like a potential career suicide. Which is where Cage comes in.

The Survivor 47 cast now takes over the spotlight from CBS following an epic conclusion to the previous season.
Television viewers saw the Survivor 46 winner get crowned, and then it was time for the network to begin teasing the next new season.
It was tricky for a promo to get rolled out so early, especially because the Survivor 47 cast is filming in Fiji.
Had a live Survivor Reunion Show happened for Season 46, host Jeff Probst may have had difficulties pulling it off while filming the new castaways.
But alas, the Survivor Reunion Shows have vanished, replaced with a pizza party in Fiji, and players being forced to react immediately after the final vote.
Luckily, we all have our first look at the Survivor 47 cast, with the new players filming ahead of a Fall 2024 debut on CBS.

“Survivor” debuted on CBS as a summer program on May 31, 2000. Hosted by Jeff Probst since the very beginning, it is credited by many as starting the reality show craze that has been a major part of TV this century. After being on the air for two decades, 20 of the most iconic champions returned in Season 40’s “Winners at War” to compete in the first-ever all-winners season.

Heading into the Final 5 immunity challenge on finale night, Maria Shrime Gonzalez knew that her game was on the line, and the only way to save it was to win the necklace. Unfortunately, the 47-year-old parent coach from Dallas never could have predicted that two of her fellow competitors, Kenzie Petty and Liz Wilcox, would team up at the challenge to take her down. Without the safety of the immunity necklace, Maria was a sitting duck at tribal council and was unanimously eliminated in fifth place.
Before Maria brought her torch over to Jeff Probst to be snuffed, her former teammates — Kenzie, Liz, Charlie Davis and Ben Katzman — all gave her a big hug and raved about her gameplay. Charlie referenced the ouster as a “big one,” Ben called her “Lieutenant Mom,” Liz told her she did a “great job,...

We are moments away from the “Survivor 46” finale, and after a season of messy gameplay and no clear strategic frontrunner, it is confusing as ever as to who will ultimately win the title of Sole Survivor. In last week’s episode, “Mamma Bear,” one of the most visible, uproarious contestants of the season was eliminated, Q Burdette, leaving just the Top 5 contestants still in the game. Let’s break down this penultimate episode to determine who will come out on top in the final episode and where these remaining five players stand.
The week prior, many viewers were confused about Ben Katzman‘s stray vote for Kenzie Petty on what was a unanimous blindside of Venus Vafa and whether there was any strategic reason for it; turns out it was a moment of mental lapse after so many days in the game, but either way, it does not look good on him.

Survivor 46 revealed its final five on the latest episode, with Q Burdette getting eliminated in another blindside.
Earlier in that episode, Q found a Hidden Immunity Idol, giving him a clear path to the final five.
But Q decided he should save that Immunity Idol and became the latest jury member to be voted out without using his advantage.
This season, the Survivor 46 cast broke an embarrassing record, which might serve as a lesson to future casts.
Since Q didn’t play his Immunity Idol, his plan (with Maria Gonzalez) fell flat. Their votes for Charlie Davis didn’t matter.
Charlie barely survived the episode but did clinch a spot in the final five. And his family was extremely excited about it.

As the longest running reality television series, “Survivor” has become a household name. Just think of the famous catchphrases. Who hasn’t said they wanted to vote an irritating person “off the island” or used “the tribe has spoken” at one punny point in their life? After three decades of filming, this year’s Season 46 is proving that changes to this season’s unique gameplay combining social, mental, and physical elements is the key to keeping the series exciting, highly discussable, and popular with viewers.
New aspects of the game introduced after the pandemic have earned the last five seasons the fan-dubbed moniker “New Era Survivor” for good reason. Instead of 39 days, “Survivor” is now played in a shorter and more intense 26 days. Forget those lavish days of “Survivor’s” past with building supplies, canned food and rice, and comfy hammocks.

Survivor has made some controversial game choices over the years, but the most contentious one has been the shift in the length of the season.
Host Jeff Probst has addressed the issue a few times in the years following the shortened Survivor 41 season.
When the world shut down, they adjusted that season to be shorter to account for the time and cost of a two-week quarantine before Episode 1 began filming.
The production team adjusted the game and ensured it was still difficult to compete – despite having the castaways compete for 26 days instead of 39 days.
Having less food has been one of the big selling points of Jeff and his team, and hunger was a huge part of the Survivor 46 season.
Jeff again addressed the shortened seasons on his On Fire podcast as the latest season began wrapping up.

Survivor 46 has been a difficult season for some of the contestants – notably Ben Katzman, who was shown suffering panic attacks on the 12th episode.
Following that penultimate episode of Survivor 46, host Jeff Probst spoke about the difficulty of the season with co-host Jay Wolff and Survivor 45 winner Dee Valladares.
The conversation was a major part of his new On Fire podcast episode, Play or Get Played.
It began as a discussion about the change from 39 days to 26-day seasons, and how Jeff feels about the game possibly getting more difficult for New Era players.
The New Era of Survivor is every season that has taken place following Survivor 40: Winners At War.

The legacy of the Survivor 46 cast is one of playing without advantages.
Survivor 46 had Hidden Immunity Idols, with some fun twists on how the players acquired them.
But the Survivor 46 castaways weren’t keen on actually playing those Idols.
Instead, many players wanted to keep those Idols hidden for an extended period. Even when they knew they were at risk of being voted out.
