Remember when people had the good sense to disappear for a while after publicly shitting their pants? With people like this clown and the "that motherfucker is not real" lady, shame has taken a permanent holiday.
Whenever one of his clients decides to pass on a nice property, he just makes full eye contact with them and screams at the top of his lungs, “BIG MISTAKE”.
Yeah probably, but I think he's in Mississippi, so you have to account for local real estate pricing.
I bet you could buy pretty much all of Rolling Fork, MS for 1 million. That's like, 50 properties right there.
While it's far from SF, NYC, LA, Boston, Vancouver, Toronto, etc, Memphis is still a pretty sizable market (especially the suburbs), and he seems to mostly cover Memphis and surrounding suburbs.
I agree letting him get there IS dangerous. But it would be a jury full of people who didn’t buy his property lol.
I think Q is successful because he recognizes the situation he is in and even when he has nearly drawn dead, he knows what his options are. I absolutely think he’d find an angle to sound good at FTC. *None* of this was possible without the existence of Q. Even if he can’t prove he *planned it.*
Would still be surprised if they gave it to him tho.
Super interesting end game. I feel Charlie/Kenzie are the front runners, but Maria/Ben have outside shots if they can sit with the right combination. I believe we will get a pretty bitter jury & just don’t see Q, Liz, or Venus getting many votes.
I was there with you till Ben was on board with the move last night. If he makes it to the end AND votes out Kenzie, Charlie and Maria along the way and sits next to a combo of Venus, Liz and Q I think he’s got it. But if he tries to keep Maria and Charlie in the game but loses them despite his efforts then yeah it would be hard to argue for him and easier for a Kenzie or a to win against him.
I don't want to get too inside the edit, but Ben's edit is quite similar to Julie's from last season. Lack of winner equity is not from the game and player perception, but entirely from the edit.
I disagree with that. From exit interviews and talking to people on the season, Rob on RHAP has said that Ben basically shut down and the game was too much for him, hence why he had the panic attack. The word they used was that Ben was pretty much just there.
Well it would seem somewhat logical for Kenzie/Liz/Q/Venus to come together for a vote and break up Maria/Charlie/Ben. Idk how likely they are to work together but can’t imagine Venus & Kenzie will be thrilled being left out of the vote. Seems like Liz could go anywhere. If that block comes together then there might be a path to Venus/Liz/Q final and who knows who tf wins that? Don’t think it’s happening but fun to think about. Really think Q would have a pretty good shot at Tevin, Hunter & Maria at least
You have 4 people who have been clearly left out of one of the last two votes, and 3 who have voted together. Can't imagine they don't connect the dots, but shocking lack of awareness in the post merge was just the theme of 45. Blindsiding Kenzie might be a BIG MISTAKE by Siga.
> But it would be a jury full of people who didn’t buy his property lol.
That's the problem. It really wouldn't matter how good his argument was if he's going against a jury that's already decided they don't respect his game. I'm sure he's a great realtor but he's not a hypnotist, you can't erase their experiences and replace them with a new reality.
I feel like Q has driven them nuts but he hasn’t been like.. Russell Hantz cruel/socially blind like Russell. I think Q has a shot even if all have been annoyed by him.
Why would Kenzie be ahead of Maria right now?
I think Q wins if he is with Liz and Venus. Possibly even Ben. The thing is that gives the 4 of them a majority I think? Leaving Kenzie, Maria, Charlie possibly on the outs. Some combo of Q/Ben/Venus/Liz doesn’t seem like a super likely final though! But I think those 4 would have to realize that they lose to any of Maria, Charlie, or Kenzie so who knows? And sometimes I wonder if we are really seeing a fully accurate Q edit. I think it was Tiff that said something about Q driving votes, so there seems to be at least some respect for parts of his game. Plus I think people do find him fun to be around when he’s not going off the rails lol.
If I'm ignoring the edit, I don’t see it either. But we've seen people win by cutting the biggest threat at 5 or 6 and then explaining their game well at FTC. Kenzie is well liked so she won't need a super strategic game to win. And frankly I think anyone can win if the final 3 has 2 of Venus, Liz, Q.
Ignoring the edit, my leaderboard is Maria, Charlie, then Kenzie.
I definitely think Maria basically stealing her big move and getting Tiff out without her hurts her for sure. I imagine now she will be thinking she needs to orchestrate the Maria and/or Charlie vote out if she wants to build back her resume. I think this is doable especially with Ben being on her side and if she’s willing to play nice with Q. She’d just need to get one other person on board.
Right now though I’m definitely getting Maria or Charlie as the strongest in the game right now. In the new era though being the strongest at the final 8 & 7 doesn’t necessarily equal winner.
If we're reading into the winners edit, her confessional last episode was the death knell. "A big part of winning this game is when you make a move against your number 1." Which was kind of wild to state as a strategy this early, but then she goes back on that plan and the rest of the tribe blindsides her to take out her #1.
A winners edit doesn't involve having someone define their winning game and have that game destroyed. They framed this as much bigger than just a mistake in one vote or a failed individual move. Similar in this season Q building up that he needs to control the game to win, before losing all control. The winning version is the playing like a lion, and hiding in plain sight.
She's quite sociable, well-liked by the majority of the cast, and has convinced everyone to keep her in the game (pre-merge) even though she's a challenge liability 95% of the time. No one has ever really targeted her or thought of her as a threat despite having good reads up until this episode.
If she can get out Charlie and/or Maria then she has the best shot of the remaining cast.
I see how can she can still win, I'd say she's probably #3 in win equity, and it's still 7, so getting out Charlie and Maria by final 4 isn't impossible.
I think Kenzie will be the FMC winner because she is always shown at the fire scenes, she got the fire first on her tribe and I kinda saw some times the paralels between her and fire. Probably she eliminates herself the biggest threat left
I don't really believe any claims regarding a winner edit because they dramatically shifted editing in the New Era such that edgic has been absolutely shit as a predictor.
Multiple people have referred to Kenzie as their number one. That kind of social capital is actually the most important thing in Survivor above anything else.
for me, kenzie is ahead of maria because of her edit. Maria had one episode with 0 confessionals, and the last winner to have 0 confessionals in any episode was Erika. After the backlash, I highly doubt they'd give another winner an episode with 0 confessionals. Also, Maria is only one of three castaways to go 9 full episodes with less than a minute of confessional time every episode. The other two are Heather from 41, and Lindsey from 42 (Surprisingly). So I just personally don't see them giving maria such a lackluster edit if she's a winner
I think Charlie now being the newest Challenge beast is gonna be a target. If not next episode the one after… leaving Ben and Q. This is probably gonna go in Q’s favor bc once Charlie is out.. it can just GOOO…..
I dunno, if he manages to claw his way back and lands in final 3, i think the players may start to respect his game. He started at the top, got out of control with his ego so much that he was on the outs with everyone, and now even Liz put her emotions aside to allow him to be a number in their games. If he humbles himself and "learns his lesson," he could have a decent shot
Why Kenzie? I feel like she has a great edit, but she hasn't done anything in the game as of yet to justify saying that she's a frontrunner. She was just beaten to the punch tonight on the blindside that she intended to be her big signature move. She still might do enough to win (justifying her edit) but I don't think at this point in the game I'd say she's more likely than Maria.
I’m in Real Estate and have been following Q since his first year of RE because he blew up. He has a lot of great videos of him cold calling. He sold over 100 houses his first year in the business. People don’t get how crazy that is. Dude is a hustler
How big is his team? I don’t even know how you have time to do that many transactions while covering all your bases to ensure your doing everything you need for your client
He played in the NFL for a few years, so he has had plenty of money at some point. No telling if he invested it well or blew through it, though.
Edit: I misremembered his original "job" listing from the beginning of the game and thought he played in the NFL. But, others have pointed out that the highest level he reached was D1 football. My b
He had a successful college career, but this is wrong. I see some references to one mini-camp/tryout with the Giants, but there is no record he ever signed with an NFL team or ever made a roster.
Successful is somewhat generous. According to sports reference, he played in 7 games (really 15) over his 4 years. 2 as a sophomore where he played DB and recorded 4 total tackles. His junior year he played receiver in 5 games and had 8 catches for 35 yards.
His freshman year doesn't have any games played yet he has 14 tackles, so I'm not entirely sure what's going on there. In game logs, it looks like he played 8 games.
As far as college careers go, I wouldn't consider 15 games, 18 tackles, and 8 catches a successful career. Obviously better than 99.9% of football players by getting in D1 games, but that's a pretty irrelevant college career.
Yeah, you right. I guess I misread his "job" listing at the beginning of the season. I've been thinking he played in the NFL for 4-6 years this entire season.
I also looked through all of RE/MAX rankings and couldn't find anything
edit: I found more info! He is ranked #1 in Tennessee, #2 at RE/MAX and #25 nationally for *sides*.
Which is basically to say he does a lot of representing both buyer and seller in a single deal. Doesn't even crack the top 1000 on earnings though because of this. Still a huge earner I'm sure
An interesting sidenote is that Q (238 sides) is rank 25 and Ben Caballero (6178 sides) is destroying the rankings in number 1. Wtf is that guy up to. $2.2B in sales 2023 (2nd place had $540m). And it's not a fluke either. In 2022 Ben did 5780 sides. Ben Caballero is the only realtor to ever make more than $1b in a year. Dude is a machine.
Sadly she doesn't make the national list.
She seems more like a small realtor. Currently holding 4 listings, sells 1 or 2 houses a month on average compared to Q who is making 1000 cold calls a week according to his schedule posted on IG. She still ranked #1 in Minneapolis area with $7m in sales last year. 16 properties sold but I'm not sure if she represented both parties or not ever so hard to say how much she got from it.
Yeah but to piss that many people off and still make it to the end....it's gonna depend on the other 2. Like him or not, he's made some moves. And has a decent resume.
If Q actually beats Charlie for individual immunity or gets a hidden immunity idol, he could survive. Plus he’d have to protect Liz and Venus even though he isn’t aligned with either of them in the slightest as of now.
And in final four fire he’d have to win the challenge and take out whoever isn’t Liz or Venus in fire to stand a chance. But this particular scenario seems 1/1000
I think Q can possibly survive even without immunity, just being used as a vote and dragged along as a goat. I just think his only winning combo is Venus and Liz, and that's far from a sure win.
Honestly, I would want to get Q out just for the pure chaos he causes! But I’m so glad they got Tiff out this episode. I think she was a bigger threat in some ways
Q had a breakdown for a few minutes at tribal, half the remaining players had a multi-day long breakdown where they thought voting out someone that everyone hated and had no chance of getting any votes at the end was the right move.
Ironically, the very fact that anyone went after Q at this point, and failed, resurrected Q and put him back in this game.
I'm 95% positive that Q floated the quit strategy to jelinsky, and jelinsky overextended and took the bait.
Then he tried it on kenzie and Tiff pre merge, and they took the bait, but they didn't make a mistake.
After the merge, Q realized that this group is very anti-quit. He released the perfected strategy. His product left beta and is now on full release.
The tribe took the bait and made a mistake. Everyone, including Venus, assumes Q can't win now. Everyone wants to take the golden goat Q to the end as a sacrifice.
He's going to get to the final four, win immunity, send someone packing at fire, and dunk on the options at the final tribal as the below radar tribe manipulator. And the other two will be so unlikable he'll win by 1 vote. First ever quit strategy to win. Pioneered by Zane of all people.
I was waiting for Q to explain his 200 IQ move to other players or elude privately in a confessional that the quitting and "vote me" talks were a strategy to sow chaos and part of a master plan. I felt like he could have used that to bring Tiff or others back to his side by saying he did it to draw heat off specific people or an alliance. Now I think it may have been bad game play but he still can start using it to his advantage or at the very least start thinking about how he can use that angle to convince people of his master plan and give him $1 million.
He did. Back in the jess or randen episode, i forget which. He moaned about losing the challenge and wanting to quit. 8 seconds later, he's in confession. I would never quit, but i want to lower my threat level with kenzie gunning for me.
Good call. I guess I was looking for more than just that though. Maybe there is more and Reddit can help me connect the dots but I can't recall any discussion to others or in a confessional that he was going to say "vote me" at Tribal as part of his master plan. He hasn't really addressed it much in the couple weeks since then or how his master plan is coming together. On one hand he is still there so it's working. But if the plan was to divert attention away from him it's not working.
yeah i actually think he has a shot as long as he plays the rest of his cards correctly. but he's a wild card himself so that isn't great for his game. he'd have to smarten up and start playing COMPLETELY differently now, and we're not seeing that happen.
Yeah, I just I scrolled his Instagram account, and there's a video clip where he's talking about having a $10M networth and also making 2 to 3M per year in recent times.
Not only that, I think we're in line for a BITTER jury that could be like, "You kept this guy over me? Maybe he deserves it..." With the right moves, this is Q's game to lose.
Honestly his job makes total sense:
He was able to build relationships and alliances quickly. Sales skills on full display. But he couldn’t manage those relationships throughout the game. After he sells someone a house he doesn’t, like, keep working with them. He didn’t know how what to do next.
In terms of survivor I don’t think that translates. You can be great at selling people a house, that doesn’t automatically translate to convincing a group of people to vote for you
THIS. Y’all are going rabid about how well-off Liz is but openly ignoring Q’s ubër-elitist attitude where he openly admits to firing people with no remorse. I think I know who I’d want to work for any day of the week.
Q only has a chance to win vs ben/liz/venus or if it is both Charlie and Maria and people find it hard to decipher their games. As they have been the only real alliance this season. Everyone else is a moving voting block.
I mean against Charlie/Maria I imagine those 2 just split votes between each other. I would not randomly vote Q just because I couldn't differentiate who did what as part of the duo. I'd probably just vote for whichever of those 2 I liked more, or the one who spoke better at FTC. Like that's probably a F3 where Q would get zero votes.
There’s too many variables to still be played out. It all depends on the moves that are made by the FTC. But I agree that Q is still in it even though he seems so hated.
I think he can win against anyone that’s left. None of these players are incredibly likable or has a huge resume (likable players just not tug at the heart at tribal likable I meant). And in a final tribal , if two people don’t happen to
perform well, and Q is on point , he can easily win.
Kenzie is a turncoat, Venus is in her own little reality, Ben is floating by, Liz is kinda floundering, Charlie & Maria have stumbled into benefitting from the Q craziness.
Entertaining season as a group dynamic , but not one player besides maybe Q that is a single dynamic force
Nahhh no one is going to vote for him. That dislike is too ingrained at this point. But he is the shield for Charlie and Maria. If the other players were paying any attention at all and not so worried about who they dislike they would realize Charlie is a power house in challenges and Maria is scheming this whole game into existence.
Q is third behind Maria and Charlie right now. If he goes to FTC and has gotten EITHER of them, I vote for him. He was first, got too hot and had to eject for a bit. He was on the right side of each vote, but wasn’t driving. If he whacks Maria especially, he could claim it as strategy… and he’d be right. He has a compelling case! He’s a huge threat in the game and he isn’t stupid. He could get the goat alliance together for a vote and win an immunity or two… he’s got a good shot!
While I somewhat agree with you, I think he still has virtually no chance at all to win. Attempting to quit (*twice*) just kills any sort of respect he might’ve had with the jury. Like, absolutely ruins it.
And he’s not even being perceived as a normal goat either because he’s too physically capable, so he’s still consistently being targeted.
Not so sure . He might be the first player ever to quit not due to depression, fatigue, or insurmountable numbers. It seems he tried to quit due to his mistakes and his ego getting rattled. I get that it’s still considered quitting , but it’s an unprecedented reason and it could be framed by him as a strategic play if he finds the right words. And assuming his ego is ballooning progressively in future episodes leading to FTC, it could be seen as him making a comeback and deserving it due to his recovery
See, I think that would look *even worse* to a jury. Like, aww you had something go wrong with your gameplan and your first response is to quit?? I get that Q was doing it to “take responsibility.” But I would never be able to see it that way. Nor do I think any jurors will take it that way.
It’s such a self-inflicted blunder. It’s not the same as getting outplayed in a moment and naturally recovering from being on the outs. He *forced* it upon himself. I don’t know how a jury could respect that. No matter how he’s potentially able to recover from it. The *only* spin on it that I think could maybe work is if he acted like it was intentional to lower his threat level. But that would be such flawed strategy that I’d still hate it lol. But if he is in F3 and says it, then I guess a juror couldn’t argue with it *too much*.
Yeah your assessment is strong there. The thing that is weak is the resumes of Q’s competition tho. Most of them are numbers people or quirky (except for Maria making the big move on Tiff). If maria is gone by TFC, your reasons, tho completely correct,, might not weigh as much to the jurors IMO
And Q can frame it that he was in control of the game until Tiff (his number 1) targeted Maria, and this crazy quit plot was to shake up the game cause otherwise he had no alliance, and he is a control style leader, and had to create chaos if no control. But yeah he has a problem there
BIG MISTAKE
HUGE.
MASSIVE.
CANCEL ALL THE HOLIDAYS
CANCEL CHRISTMAS
Ho Ho hoe bags
...I never put those two things together, but they fit so well 😹
He could be more successful when he brings the Q Skirt to market
Even Bhanu has a bodega. https://bhanus-bodega.printify.me
Is this why he kept repeating a million hearts?? Gotta move that merch😂😂
Jesus. That’s the laziest money grab I’ve ever seen
And he didn't even monetize "MERMAID DRAGON" poor showing
Remember when people had the good sense to disappear for a while after publicly shitting their pants? With people like this clown and the "that motherfucker is not real" lady, shame has taken a permanent holiday.
At least the airplane lady did disappear for a hot minute. Bhanu can take several seats (no Jalinsky joke intended) and maybe re-emerge around 2028
Something like 14 members of this cast sell merch, including Jess who was voted out 2nd lol
Embarrassing
Grifter
He played innocent but knew all along he would monetize it
I can’t 😂
$18 for FLIP FLOPS???
I’ll be first in line baby!
FUCKING Q SKIRTS
December 26th gonna come right after the 24th
Christmas quit early this year
If only she quit earlier in Big Brother.
And December twenty-several will come after the twenty-six
Whenever one of his clients decides to pass on a nice property, he just makes full eye contact with them and screams at the top of his lungs, “BIG MISTAKE”.
bhanu would scream "WHYYY, GOD?!?"
Liz would scream, “I HATE YOOOOU!!!1!1!”
Ben would scream "OFF TO NEVER, NEVER LAND!"
Charlie would scream "AND WE RUN!"
Or say that does not rock.
Yeeeeeuaahhhhh
I think he utters under his breath, but just enough to hear, “big mistake”
and then, CANCEL CHRISTMAS!
Wouldn’t that make him a multi multi millionaire?
Yeah probably, but I think he's in Mississippi, so you have to account for local real estate pricing. I bet you could buy pretty much all of Rolling Fork, MS for 1 million. That's like, 50 properties right there.
I read the average property he sells is about $250k
Which is a commission of about $7500 per house, so during the year he flipped 300 houses he woulda made around 2.25 million dollars.
Need to account for team and business / marketing / franchise expenses. Probably netting around $500-$750k after taxes if running efficiently.
good money for MS
Good money for anywhere
He could also be counting leases as transactions.
While it's far from SF, NYC, LA, Boston, Vancouver, Toronto, etc, Memphis is still a pretty sizable market (especially the suburbs), and he seems to mostly cover Memphis and surrounding suburbs.
He dreams of flipping Graceland someday
He’s out of Memphis/Germantown.
I have a friend who is a real estate agent in Eastern Washington and knows him... so he might be WA based??
I think thats one of the reasons he did the whole quit thing.
This man having fuck you money really makes things make sense now lol
[удалено]
He not only said he goes to Vegas, but he said he's a high roller.
That's only referring to the success he has with dice rolls. /s
He said in his pregame interview that he could’ve just worked for a month and made a million dollars
He should have just done that. Big mistake
How could you say that, now he can also sell Q Skirts. Big mistake
Idk can you really be rich if you don’t mention it to everyone in the beginning *cough liz cough*
I agree letting him get there IS dangerous. But it would be a jury full of people who didn’t buy his property lol. I think Q is successful because he recognizes the situation he is in and even when he has nearly drawn dead, he knows what his options are. I absolutely think he’d find an angle to sound good at FTC. *None* of this was possible without the existence of Q.

I feel Charlie/Kenzie are the front runners, but Maria/Ben have outside shots if they can sit with the right combination. I believe we will get a pretty bitter jury & just don’t see Q, Liz, or Venus getting many votes.
I think Q could win in a Q, Venus, Liz final 3. Otherwise I agree it’s a hard sell.
I honestly think he could even have a chance against Ben as well.
I was there with you till Ben was on board with the move last night. If he makes it to the end AND votes out Kenzie, Charlie and Maria along the way and sits next to a combo of Venus, Liz and Q I think he’s got it.

I disagree with that. From exit interviews and talking to people on the season, Rob on RHAP has said that Ben basically shut down and the game was too much for him, hence why he had the panic attack. The word they used was that Ben was pretty much just there.
Would depend on who organized the last couple of votes and who won the last challenge.
Well it would seem somewhat logical for Kenzie/Liz/Q/Venus to come together for a vote and break up Maria/Charlie/Ben. Idk how likely they are to work together but can’t imagine Venus & Kenzie will be thrilled being left out of the vote. Seems like Liz could go anywhere.

The issue with that is Venus. She does not like to come together for votes that she didn't think she was the lead of.
You have 4 people who have been clearly left out of one of the last two votes, and 3 who have voted together. Can't imagine they don't connect the dots, but shocking lack of awareness in the post merge was just the theme of 45. Blindsiding Kenzie might be a BIG MISTAKE by Siga.

Because this sub has been saying it many times she has the winne edit, so people think her winning will be a possibility. I still dont see it
Certainly a possibility! There’s a lot of votes left. I would have put Maria ahead of Kenzie at the moment though.
If I'm ignoring the edit, I don’t see it either. But we've seen people win by cutting the biggest threat at 5 or 6 and then explaining their game well at FTC. Kenzie is well liked so she won't need a super strategic game to win. And frankly I think anyone can win if the final 3 has 2 of Venus, Liz, Q.

She should get out Maria/Charlie regardless - they are absolutely the biggest threats the win.

i thought charlie before this ep. him winning 2 immunity challenges in a row would put him on anyone's radar
She's quite sociable, well-liked by the majority of the cast, and has convinced everyone to keep her in the game (pre-merge) even though she's a challenge liability 95% of the time. No one has ever really targeted her or thought of her as a threat despite having good reads up until this episode. If she can get out Charlie and/or Maria then she has the best shot of the remaining cast.
I see how can she can still win, I'd say she's probably #3 in win equity, and it's still 7, so getting out Charlie and Maria by final 4 isn't impossible.
I think Kenzie will be the FMC winner because she is always shown at the fire scenes, she got the fire first on her tribe and I kinda saw some times the paralels between her and fire. Probably she eliminates herself the biggest threat left
I don't really believe any claims regarding a winner edit because they dramatically shifted editing in the New Era such that edgic has been absolutely shit as a predictor.

I think Charlie now being the newest Challenge beast is gonna be a target. If not next episode the one after… leaving Ben and Q. This is probably gonna go in Q’s favor bc once Charlie is out.. it can just GOOO…..
I dunno, if he manages to claw his way back and lands in final 3, i think the players may start to respect his game. He started at the top, got out of control with his ego so much that he was on the outs with everyone, and now even Liz put her emotions aside to allow him to be a number in their games. If he humbles himself and "learns his lesson," he could have a decent shot
He's out next though.
Why Kenzie over Maria? Just curious. Didn't Maria restart that Tiff vote last night? her game seems pretty solid to me.
Plus none of his clients are stuck on an island with him 24/7. He’s probably a lot easier to deal with in small doses.
Why Kenzie? I feel like she has a great edit, but she hasn't done anything in the game as of yet to justify saying that she's a frontrunner. She was just beaten to the punch tonight on the blindside that she intended to be her big signature move. She still might do enough to win (justifying her edit) but I don't think at this point in the game I'd say she's more likely than Maria.
Maria is the front runner, clearly calling the shots
Thought this post was going to be about Liz lmao
IM PISSED
😂
overshadowed again.
There it is again…Q stealing the spotlight that should be on Liz…always Liz…always the star of her show
I’m in Real Estate and have been following Q since his first year of RE because he blew up. He has a lot of great videos of him cold calling. He sold over 100 houses his first year in the business. People don’t get how crazy that is. Dude is a hustler
How big is his team? I don’t even know how you have time to do that many transactions while covering all your bases to ensure your doing everything you need for your client
I could tell he has money because he’s always threatening to quit. I think he’s doing this for fun and not so much the check at the end
He played in the NFL for a few years, so he has had plenty of money at some point. No telling if he invested it well or blew through it, though. Edit: I misremembered his original "job" listing from the beginning of the game and thought he played in the NFL. But, others have pointed out that the highest level he reached was D1 football. My b
i don't think he was ever in the NFL, but he did play in college
More like he was on the team. Still impressive, but he had like 7 career catches in 5 seasons.
You're right, I misread his "job" at the beginning of the season.
He had a successful college career, but this is wrong. I see some references to one mini-camp/tryout with the Giants, but there is no record he ever signed with an NFL team or ever made a roster.
Successful is somewhat generous. According to sports reference, he played in 7 games (really 15) over his 4 years. 2 as a sophomore where he played DB and recorded 4 total tackles. His junior year he played receiver in 5 games and had 8 catches for 35 yards. His freshman year doesn't have any games played yet he has 14 tackles, so I'm not entirely sure what's going on there. In game logs, it looks like he played 8 games. As far as college careers go, I wouldn't consider 15 games, 18 tackles, and 8 catches a successful career. Obviously better than 99.9% of football players by getting in D1 games, but that's a pretty irrelevant college career.
Definitely — I was just measuring the “success” of his college career against his NFL “career.”
Yeah, you right. I guess I misread his "job" listing at the beginning of the season. I've been thinking he played in the NFL for 4-6 years this entire season.
Rod Gardner on this season of TAR played in the NFL for about 5 years
Threatening to quit has drawn more attention to him. That ensures checks keep coming regardless of the final outcome.
Jesus. Now it all makes sense. We did finally see that wide receiver come out this week too with that hurdle.
Where’s the list of realtors he’s number 2 in? Tried to look but can’t find it
I also looked through all of RE/MAX rankings and couldn't find anything edit: I found more info! He is ranked #1 in Tennessee, #2 at RE/MAX and #25 nationally for *sides*. Which is basically to say he does a lot of representing both buyer and seller in a single deal. Doesn't even crack the top 1000 on earnings though because of this. Still a huge earner I'm sure An interesting sidenote is that Q (238 sides) is rank 25 and Ben Caballero (6178 sides) is destroying the rankings in number 1. Wtf is that guy up to. $2.2B in sales 2023 (2nd place had $540m). And it's not a fluke either. In 2022 Ben did 5780 sides. Ben Caballero is the only realtor to ever make more than $1b in a year. Dude is a machine.
Where does Big Brother Janelle rank? She seems to do pretty well.
Sadly she doesn't make the national list. She seems more like a small realtor. Currently holding 4 listings, sells 1 or 2 houses a month on average compared to Q who is making 1000 cold calls a week according to his schedule posted on IG. She still ranked #1 in Minneapolis area with $7m in sales last year. 16 properties sold but I'm not sure if she represented both parties or not ever so hard to say how much she got from it.
She's killing it on Onlyfans tho. Very hot..
I think he’s pissed too many people off to really win, but he’s definitely a bigger threat than people think.
Yeah but to piss that many people off and still make it to the end....it's gonna depend on the other 2. Like him or not, he's made some moves. And has a decent resume.
Venus is someone who he could beat, beyond that I think some further villainy from another player would have to happen. (Maybe Liz?!)
Liz and Venus would be his only chance and even then, I'm not remotely confident. Liz might somehow win that.
If Q actually beats Charlie for individual immunity or gets a hidden immunity idol, he could survive. Plus he’d have to protect Liz and Venus even though he isn’t aligned with either of them in the slightest as of now. And in final four fire he’d have to win the challenge and take out whoever isn’t Liz or Venus in fire to stand a chance. But this particular scenario seems 1/1000
I think Q can possibly survive even without immunity, just being used as a vote and dragged along as a goat. I just think his only winning combo is Venus and Liz, and that's far from a sure win.
What if he just invites more people into the six and then votes them out too?
Honestly, I would want to get Q out just for the pure chaos he causes! But I’m so glad they got Tiff out this episode. I think she was a bigger threat in some ways
#big mistake
[удалено]
Q had a breakdown for a few minutes at tribal, half the remaining players had a multi-day long breakdown where they thought voting out someone that everyone hated and had no chance of getting any votes at the end was the right move. Ironically, the very fact that anyone went after Q at this point, and failed, resurrected Q and put him back in this game.
I'm 95% positive that Q floated the quit strategy to jelinsky, and jelinsky overextended and took the bait. Then he tried it on kenzie and Tiff pre merge, and they took the bait, but they didn't make a mistake. After the merge, Q realized that this group is very anti-quit. He released the perfected strategy. His product left beta and is now on full release. The tribe took the bait and made a mistake. Everyone, including Venus, assumes Q can't win now. Everyone wants to take the golden goat Q to the end as a sacrifice. He's going to get to the final four, win immunity, send someone packing at fire, and dunk on the options at the final tribal as the below radar tribe manipulator. And the other two will be so unlikable he'll win by 1 vote. First ever quit strategy to win. Pioneered by Zane of all people.
I was waiting for Q to explain his 200 IQ move to other players or elude privately in a confessional that the quitting and "vote me" talks were a strategy to sow chaos and part of a master plan. I felt like he could have used that to bring Tiff or others back to his side by saying he did it to draw heat off specific people or an alliance. Now I think it may have been bad game play but he still can start using it to his advantage or at the very least start thinking about how he can use that angle to convince people of his master plan and give him $1 million.
He did. Back in the jess or randen episode, i forget which. He moaned about losing the challenge and wanting to quit. 8 seconds later, he's in confession. I would never quit, but i want to lower my threat level with kenzie gunning for me.
Good call. I guess I was looking for more than just that though. Maybe there is more and Reddit can help me connect the dots but I can't recall any discussion to others or in a confessional that he was going to say "vote me" at Tribal as part of his master plan. He hasn't really addressed it much in the couple weeks since then or how his master plan is coming together. On one hand he is still there so it's working. But if the plan was to divert attention away from him it's not working.
yeah i actually think he has a shot as long as he plays the rest of his cards correctly. but he's a wild card himself so that isn't great for his game. he'd have to smarten up and start playing COMPLETELY differently now, and we're not seeing that happen.
Yeah, I just I scrolled his Instagram account, and there's a video clip where he's talking about having a $10M networth and also making 2 to 3M per year in recent times.
Not only that, I think we're in line for a BITTER jury that could be like, "You kept this guy over me? Maybe he deserves it..." With the right moves, this is Q's game to lose.
Is this Q selling himself to the subreddit?
Honestly his job makes total sense: He was able to build relationships and alliances quickly. Sales skills on full display. But he couldn’t manage those relationships throughout the game. After he sells someone a house he doesn’t, like, keep working with them. He didn’t know how what to do next.
I think if you lived with your realtor on a beach for a couple weeks you might be less likely to buy a house from them
In terms of survivor I don’t think that translates. You can be great at selling people a house, that doesn’t automatically translate to convincing a group of people to vote for you
Plus, how much of real estate is convincing people to buy a specific thing vs just finding the right people for that property?
This made me smile: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6cBbNyPl2z/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
If Q is anything, he's a salesman. He could easily sell his chaotic gameplay as a strategy, and then pull it together in the endgame to win.
THIS. Y’all are going rabid about how well-off Liz is but openly ignoring Q’s ubër-elitist attitude where he openly admits to firing people with no remorse. I think I know who I’d want to work for any day of the week.
Liz is not well off, she’s lying.
A BIG MISTAKE if I may add
What’s your source? All I could find was [this list](https://news.remax.com/top-100-us-individual-residential) and I don’t see him
300? thats insane
Did he, or did his employees? 1 nearly every day.
Q only has a chance to win vs ben/liz/venus or if it is both Charlie and Maria and people find it hard to decipher their games. As they have been the only real alliance this season. Everyone else is a moving voting block.
I mean against Charlie/Maria I imagine those 2 just split votes between each other. I would not randomly vote Q just because I couldn't differentiate who did what as part of the duo. I'd probably just vote for whichever of those 2 I liked more, or the one who spoke better at FTC. Like that's probably a F3 where Q would get zero votes.
There’s too many variables to still be played out. It all depends on the moves that are made by the FTC. But I agree that Q is still in it even though he seems so hated.
I think he can win against anyone that’s left. None of these players are incredibly likable or has a huge resume (likable players just not tug at the heart at tribal likable I meant). And in a final tribal , if two people don’t happen to perform well, and Q is on point , he can easily win. Kenzie is a turncoat, Venus is in her own little reality, Ben is floating by, Liz is kinda floundering, Charlie & Maria have stumbled into benefitting from the Q craziness. Entertaining season as a group dynamic , but not one player besides maybe Q that is a single dynamic force
Now I want to see a Final 2 with him and Cody outpitching each other.
If you can't win hearts of starving people when you gift them food, you have no chance at persuading them to grant you a million bucks.
Not just a mistake, a BIG MISTAKE
He claimed the idea to remove Tiff was his but it wasn’t. He’s that guy that steals everyone else’s glory for his own.
OP is Q
Been saying that Q is giving winner vibes. He's just gonna slide right into the end and talk his way into it.
I hope that happens
Damn that Is impressive
I don’t think they’ve had a contestant, in about a decade, who’s actually needed the money. BRING BACK THE POORS!
What size of mistake are we talking here?
BIG
Nahhh no one is going to vote for him. That dislike is too ingrained at this point. But he is the shield for Charlie and Maria. If the other players were paying any attention at all and not so worried about who they dislike they would realize Charlie is a power house in challenges and Maria is scheming this whole game into existence.
Q is third behind Maria and Charlie right now. If he goes to FTC and has gotten EITHER of them, I vote for him. He was first, got too hot and had to eject for a bit. He was on the right side of each vote, but wasn’t driving. If he whacks Maria especially, he could claim it as strategy… and he’d be right. He has a compelling case! He’s a huge threat in the game and he isn’t stupid. He could get the goat alliance together for a vote and win an immunity or two… he’s got a good shot!
He said it on the show. People realize he’s a hell of a salesman!
While I somewhat agree with you, I think he still has virtually no chance at all to win. Attempting to quit (*twice*) just kills any sort of respect he might’ve had with the jury. Like, absolutely ruins it. And he’s not even being perceived as a normal goat either because he’s too physically capable, so he’s still consistently being targeted.
Not so sure . He might be the first player ever to quit not due to depression, fatigue, or insurmountable numbers. It seems he tried to quit due to his mistakes and his ego getting rattled. I get that it’s still considered quitting , but it’s an unprecedented reason and it could be framed by him as a strategic play if he finds the right words. And assuming his ego is ballooning progressively in future episodes leading to FTC, it could be seen as him making a comeback and deserving it due to his recovery
See, I think that would look *even worse* to a jury. Like, aww you had something go wrong with your gameplan and your first response is to quit?? I get that Q was doing it to “take responsibility.” But I would never be able to see it that way. Nor do I think any jurors will take it that way. It’s such a self-inflicted blunder. It’s not the same as getting outplayed in a moment and naturally recovering from being on the outs. He *forced* it upon himself. I don’t know how a jury could respect that. No matter how he’s potentially able to recover from it. The *only* spin on it that I think could maybe work is if he acted like it was intentional to lower his threat level. But that would be such flawed strategy that I’d still hate it lol. But if he is in F3 and says it, then I guess a juror couldn’t argue with it *too much*.
Yeah your assessment is strong there. The thing that is weak is the resumes of Q’s competition tho. Most of them are numbers people or quirky (except for Maria making the big move on Tiff). If maria is gone by TFC, your reasons, tho completely correct,, might not weigh as much to the jurors IMO And Q can frame it that he was in control of the game until Tiff (his number 1) targeted Maria, and this crazy quit plot was to shake up the game cause otherwise he had no alliance, and he is a control style leader, and had to create chaos if no control. But yeah he has a problem there
He could sell that he was faking when attempting to leave. Maybe that would do something for him
He’s probably one of my favorites ever casted. Just completely off the walls but it’s entertaining.
Thats whats scary, cause he's a maniac
I wish he would stop saying “Immernity”. Immunity does not rhyme with eternity.
It's an accent. It's a very common North MS accent. It's a mix of Southern drawl and Memphis. I grew up nearby and it takes me back.
