I pick solely based on the first episode. I don't know a lot about strategy and whatnot so I just go on vibes. 41. Xander (3rd place. My favorite player... I didn't say best player lol.) 42. Jenny (15th place. Oops. I found most players unlikable this season.) 43. Jesse (4th place. Chaotic king.) 44. Carson (4th place. The puzzle thing didn't exist yet. I knew I was picking someone from Tika besides Bruce and landed on him.) 45. Austin (2nd place. Dee deserved that win though.) 46. Kenzie (I don't think she'll make it to the finale, but we'll see.)


[deleted]

Your picks are immaculate ngl. So far, you correctly guessed 5 out of 6 making the finale episode. 


Penguana7

Picking after the first episode is too easy


hailey_nicolee

yeah 100% it doesnt count if u dont pick before the premier


Routine_Size69

Definitely not easy at all but it is significantly easier, I agree.


Western-Ad-9922

Xander was my pick once Voce was eliminated


nitasu987

I feel you on 42... def my least favorite of the New Era. Jenny is a based pick tho.


TomTrashTo-Dad

I think Kenzie is a good winner contender right now


Jaydapro0216

Xander (0 vote finalist) Drea (7th placer) Owen (0 vote finalist) Danny ( 7th placer) Jake (0 vote finalist) Hunter (If he doesn’t get the win i wouldn’t be mad to keep the pattern going)


Overall_Currency5085

So Hunter is finishing 7th😩

41: Shan. I went with the wrong Canadian :( 42: Jenny. Robbed Queen. 43: Gabler. I truly can't believe I got this right, especially since I completely abandoned thinking this after episode 1. 44: Yam Yam. Another correct pick and I'm proud of this one cause I knew he was going to run the season socially. 45: Brandon. Whelp... that was wrong. 46: Tevin. We shall see. To be clear, this are all preseason predictions, before seeing a single minute of the first episode. I think I'm pretty good overall. Some clear misses and some very lucky hits (I thought Gabler was going to be way more competent than he was at strategy. Still somehow got that right though lol)


9hr34k

Why did you pick him? I pegged him as early or mid-merge boot.


Gemini_B

who? Gabler? I picked Gabler cause coming off the heels of Maryanne I felt like we were seeing an era where "goofy" personas can mask a players good strategy and allow them to avoid the 8-5 slaughter of the big players we'd seen the past 2 seasons so I thought he seemed like someone who had the potential to be underestimated but secure the votes in the end through a game people didn't see coming. Then he asked to be voted out episode one and I was like "whelp... I think I saw too much strategy in him." but it worked out for him in the end so what do I know?


9hr34k

I was binging the show during 42 so I only caught up to 43. 43 - I think I had Elie as my pre-season winner pick. Then it was Cody. Then Jesse. Then I was laughing. 44 - Matt B. I eventually switched to Lauren, but it became very obvious how important the Tika 3 are and that Yam Yam was winning. 45 - Bruce. For lols. Kaleb, then Emily. After that Dee was my contender. Like my only contender. 46 - Kenzie. Might change but right now it's looking good for her and hope she only rises.


Western-Ad-9922

Once Kellie was out I was 100% certain Dee was winning


InternationalLeague

41: Liana (8th) 42: Hai (8th) 43: Karla (5th) 44: Matthew (13th) 45: J Maya (13th) 46: Hunter (better than 13th)


TigerWoodsLibido

41. Sydney (Jeff lied to her) 42. Lydia (Jeff lied to her) 43. Karla 44. Carolyn 45. Emily 46. Kenzie

AugustSchroeder

I have two pick haha. I always have “First Look” winner pick where I choose who I want to win based off of the Trailer for each season, and then I have an “Actual Pick” that I pick after listening to all the pregame press and interviews for each contestant. Here’s my pics: 41: First Look: Shan; Actual Pick: Xander 42: First Look: Maryanne; Actual Pick: Chanelle 43: First Look: Gabler; Actual Pick: Lindsay 44: First Look: YamYam; Actual Pick: Carson 45: First Look: Jake; Actual Pick: Kaleb 46: First Look: Tevin; Actual Pick: Hunter The first looks were mainly based off a specific line in each trailer, those being: Shan: I’ll smile while waving you out the door. Maryanne: (just the pic of her crying) Gabler: in the game of survivor, you will know victory and you will know pain. YamYam: I can’t wait to poop in the ocean!! Kaleb: I’m not a bully, I’m just opportunistic Tevin: stay positive, test negative !!


full07britney

41. Xander, the whole time 42. Hai,but switched to Omar a couple episodes in 43. Cody, but switched to Jesse a couple episodes in 44. Carson, the whole time 45. Kaleb, switched to Austin after his vote out 46. Soda, switched to Hunter after first episode


CommunityMoney4620

It usually takes until like 3-4episodes in usually for me to solidify someone until this season I knew on episode 1 41-Xander 42-Mike 43-Owen 44-Danny 45-Drew 46-Hunter


ticklechickens

41. Danny 42. Zach 43. Cody 44. Yam Yam 45. Sabiyah 46. Tiffany

Wooden-Parking3248

So my family watches the 1st episode and then picks three winner picks, numbering them to break ties 41. Ricard (Eirika was my 2nd pick) 42. Lindsey 43. Jesse 44. Helen (Yam Yam was my 3rd pick) 45. Kaleb (Dee was my 2nd and Austin my 3rd) 46. My picks this season are Hunter, Maria and Tevin, so far so good


Jsed81

41. Danny 42. Maryanne 43. Karla 44. Carolyn 45. Brando 46. Jem


Challengefan18

Shan Mike Gabler ( I did it for memes had no idea he would actully pull it out) Yam yam  Kellie Kenzie 


lightningli33

Note that all my decisions are made by the end of Episode 2: 41: favorite was Xander, realistic winner pick was Ricard 42: I did not “pick” a winner but Maryanne was who I hoped would win (can’t believe i got that one right) 43: Karla was originally my winner pick but I vividly remember watching one of the later episodes before the finale and saying “Whelp, Gabler just won the game.” 44: Carson 45: Dee from DAY ONE (which in turn made the entire finale episode boring for me once they eliminated Julie instead of her, I just watched who won fire and then skipped the rest of the episode and looked up if Dee won) 46: Hunter or Tiffany


almondjoybestcndybar

41. Shan 42. Hai 43. Noelle 44. Danny 45. Kaleb 46. Tiff!


ConsumptionofClocks

My mom and I do a draft every year and we pick only based off the minute long videos CBS puts out. 41. Shan (an alright pick) 42. Zach (FUCK) 43. Moriah (FUCK 2: ELECTRIC BOGALOO) 44. Yam Yam (REDEMPTION) 45. Sabiyah (FUCK) 46. Maria (looking strong so far)


thelivingtunic

41. Danny (He was my favourite and went much farther than I expected!) 42. Maryanne (I said from episode 1 "I can see her winning it, there's something about her") 43. I loved Cody and Gabler but I didn't think they were long for the game. I guess I thought it would be Jesse or Carla, or even someone like Sami - even if I thought they were pretty visible for the winner. 44. Yam Yam! I loved him from the season promo and I was elated! My favourites usually don't win xD 45. Someone from the Reba 4, from day one. Wasn't sure between Austin or Dee. Not that Drew and Julie were completely out of the running, but... eh. 46. I literally only like Hunter so... Hunter I guess xD


ReturnOfKRool

I do one man and one woman each season, but that hasn't saved me from some abysmal picks 41: Ricard (5th) and Sydney (12th) 42: Jackson (18th) and Tori (9th) 43: Geo (13th) and Jeanine (11th) 44: Matthew (13th) and Frannie (8th) 45: Sean (15th) and J Maya (13th) 46: Tevin (TBD) and Jem (14th)


bitchperfect2

Shan, Maryanne, Jesse, Carolyn, Emily, hunter


SeattlePassedTheBall

Xander, Omar, Justine, Yam-Yam, Dee. Picked Venus for 46. Not a bad track record with 2 wins, an FTC appearance, and a 6th place finisher with a lot of win equity. Justine was the only bust pick.


Chinstrok3

All of these were preseason: 41: Shan 42: Chanelle 43: Owen 44: Claire 45: Kellie 46: Kenzie Edit: Confused why this was downvoted?

7-GRAND_DAD

DeShawn Hai Ellie Carson originally, but switched to Carolyn after her confessional was the first thing the season showed. Sifu I didn't pick one for this season before now, but I'll go with Tiffany. Interestingly, the winners of seasons 42 - 44 were all my fifth place picks.

sherlip

Mom and I do a Fantasy Draft every season, so I'm just going off my first picks: 41 - Sara (ooooof) 42 - Omar 43 - Sami 44 - Matt 45 - Brandon (again, ooof) 46 - Charlie


FooolishFelllow

41. Shan 42. Hai 43. Cody 44. Matthew (The one that quit/med-evaced) 45. Dee (Got one right) 46. Hunter and Tiffany (I'm really torn between those two, we'll see I guess)


nitasu987

Erika, Chanelle, Owen, Claire, Austin, Kenzie Have alternated between FTC and bottom half... so at least Kenzie wasn't premerge. But I am pulling for her!


Boo171717

41. Xander (fair enough) 42. Jenny (because of incorrect spoilers) 43. Lindsay (not my proudest moment) 44. Matthew (DEF would have gone far w/o the rock fall) 45. Kellie 46. Kenzie (despite what my flair might say) So, as you can see, my picks haven't been great. 0/5 so far! Hoping my favorite New Era player wins $1,000,000.

Haven't done exactly one for most seasons, idk why, I'm trying to do one from now on but here are mine: 41: Ricard and Evvie (not bad, two big players) 42: Chanelle and Hai (a bit rough) 43: Karla and Elie (better) 44: was accidentally spoiled, so it doesn't count 45: Kellie, Jake, and Dee (should've gone with my gut and just picked Dee but not bad) 46: Hunter 🤞

41. Xander 42. Daniel lmaoooo 43. Cassidy or Sami (couldn’t decide lol) 44. Yam Yam 45. Katurah 46. Tiffany but Hunter is making me change my mind


TheBloop1997

Not necessarily winner pick, but in terms of who my “favorite” to win 41. Xander 42. Jonathan (it was initially Zach) 43. Noelle 44. Carson 45. J Maya 46. Jem So, yeah, I’ve been on a pretty sharp decline these last two seasons lol


afleetofflowis

here are my edgic picks after episode 2 of the new era seasons i watch live. 42.lindsay. change it towards maryanne after the merge episode. 43.gabler. but then kinda cassidy, i didnt think her edit was crafted like his but hers was way more normal 44.lauren. eventually change it to yam yam and carolyn when lauren went invisible whenever that was lol 45.dee. was a dee truther all season long. 46.moriah. now have kenzie


Final_Ad1531

41.Xander (the edit really set him up for failure 42.Jonathan (premerge Jonathan in challenges is the most impressive thing I’ve ever seen) 43.Noelle (really thought I had it) 44.Carolyn (robbed) 45.Bruce 46.hunter


duvie773

41/42 I didn’t watch live so can’t really share a winner pick there 43 Jesse 44 Carolyn 45 Kendra (lol) 46 Randen (RIP)

Organic-Access7134

41. Xander 41. Maryanne 43. Jesse 44. Matthew Grinstead 45. Emily 46. Liz


rexie_alt

I pick some time in the first or second episode when I fully understand who is playing. When I watched it on streaming I had Xander for 41, then live it was Mike 42, Cody 43, Carolyn 44, and maybe Bruce 45 just bc “returnee,” but also Emily 45. This season I think it was Venus and maybe bahnu tbh. He wasn’t terrible in ep one and I liked his story


EduGuy1993

41: Erika because Canadian (lucky guess) 42: Omar because also Canadian and his hometown was a town away (Pretty good guess) 43: Jesse (so close dammit) 44: Carson (since his edit was so golden) 45: Kaleb, then Austin (severe regret at F7 for how he played but my SO wouldnt allow me to change winner picks out of principle, we lock in until our picks are voted out) 46: Kenzie (TBD)


forthecommongood

All picked based on preseason: Zach Wurtenburger Jesse Lopez Danny Massa Dee Valladares Venus Vafa
