Welcome to the biggest explosion of the new era.
Karishma was the undisputed reality TV queen of Applebees before Wednesday, May 1 at approximately 8:30pmET.
(Why you gotta go and dis Bahama Breeze like that, Liz?)

Jeez, look at me.
Im yelling like Liz all of a sudden.
I must be pretty pissed, too.

But how amazing was that blowup?!
Like, truly next level.
But none of that matters.

And with apologies to Karishma, I absolutely love her for it.
Watching that business decision by Venus in real-time was somehow almost better than watching the explosion to begin with.
What is so fascinating about this group of contestants, however, is how likable they are.

That was Liz, of course, and she was upset that everyone even Venus!
was in on the Hunter split-vote plan but her.
(Hey, at least hes consistent.)

But Maria saw Q as something else a number.
More on that later, obviously, but first we have a reward challenge to get through.
Im talking about the fact thatJeff Probstcan evidently recite the entire Applebees menu from memory.

Granted, half their menu items appear to begin with the words Bourbon Street, but its still impressive.
(Also, boneless wings arent a thing.
And that power could take him all the way to the final three.

That, it is.
I also love the way Milhouse presented it as Here is a burger on the house!…
And once again, the challenge was guest-hosted by Monty Hall.
Thats because Jeff Probst was absolutely determined to feed this tribe, whether they like it or not!
But the Hostmaster General totally took me for surprise with his offer.
Plus, you cant let contestants actually… you know…starveon your television show.
And again, the tribe declined.
The cast ofSurvivor 46are certified badasses.
I love it so much.
Definitely not a ho-bag move by the host.
But I cant really think about any of that right now.
Like, I would get it if it was directed at Ben as some sort of Gene SimmonsKisshomage.
That would make sense.
But I dont know what to make of this.
Is that supposed to be Charlie intimidating the competition?
I have no idea, but hes dead to me if he stops doing it.
(Who am I anymore?
Is this even actually me writing this recap or is it Dalton Ross AI?
No, if it was Dalton Ross AI there would be random mentions of Milwaukees Best.
Sally Schumann, and the Medallion of Power strewn about.
AND THERE THEY ARE!
RIGHT ON CUE!)
It was a shocking development and seemingly came out of nowhere.
Then came day 19.
For some reason after the challenge, Kenzie did an about-face.
Maybe the two bonded so much over Shark Bowls she couldnt bring herself to pull the trigger.
Perhaps she felt more comfortable knowing where the idol was rather than who might get a replanted one next.
In fact, you could even say she got burned twice at Tribal Council.
As for Tiffany, heading to the jury on a 5-3 vote, lets give her some flowers.
Im bummed to see her go.
All three heading out of the game with a Beware Advantage idol in their pocket.
Yes, producers love a blindside.
But they love a successful immunity idol play even more.
Also, give the producers some credit.
This season has beensuperlight on twists, advantages, and idol plays.
No, were never going to go back to the originalSurvivorwith no idols and advantages.
Grab some Jeff Probst popcorn and enjoy.
(Note: Liz cant have any.)
