Of the players eliminated so far on “Survivor 44,” Gold Derby asked viewers in our recent poll to name who should return for a future All-Stars season. The poll results are in and there is one name that tops the list of over two-thirds of voters: Frannie Marin! The only other castaway to earn more than 10% of the vote is Matthew Grinstead-Mayle, the adventurous superfan that left the game by choice due to a shoulder injury. (Note that we did not include Bruce Perreault as an option because Jeff Probst has already invited him back.)
Here are the complete poll results for who fans want back as an All-Star:
67% — Frannie Marin
14% — Matthew Grinstead-Mayle
7% — Matt Blankinship
5% — Brandon Cottom
2% — Kane Fritzler
1% — Helen Li, Claire Rafson, Maddy Pomilla, Sarah Wade, Josh Wilder

According to Gold Derby’s predictions, Carolyn is the person viewers think will ultimately win the game. She started out as a bit of wildcard, having trouble connecting to her fellow Tika tribe members. The only person she felt close with was Bruce Perreault, but then he was medically evacuated due to a head injury. After Tika lost an early immunity challenge, Carson found himself in the middle between two pairs:...

The Survivor challenges usually have a physical component, then a puzzle at the end. The puzzle can be an equalizer between people who aren’t as fast or strong. But castaways have also gone home because they let their team down at the last moment. So it’s a good idea to prepare. Here is where you can find the show’s puzzles online to improve your skills and make Jeff Probst proud to have you on the cast.

“Survive with a Capital S” in season 44 showed the cast competing in a challenge to make it to the merge. They had to push a rolling ball over obstacles.

The Survivor Season 44 premiere showed a lot of promise for the fourth installment of the reality competition series’ “new era,” but since then, fans have pointed out flaws in the show’s format. There are too many advantages and idols (and fake idols) at play in the game, and only women have been voted out. But hopefully, things will turn around soon, and by the time the finale arrives, we’ll be talking about how great Survivor Season 44 was.

Tika is currently the smallest tribe on “Survivor 44,” with just four players remaining after three episodes: Carson Garrett, Sarah Wade, Yamil “Yam Yam” Arocho and Carolyn Wiger. As you’ll recall, the group lost Bruce Perreault to a head injury on Day 1, and then voted out Helen Li on Day 5. Helen’s ouster seemed to create a three-to-one majority with Sarah on the outs. But in a new “Survivor 44” deleted scene, Carson and Sarah have an important conversation in which they create a secret alliance (watch above). Wait a minute, why wasn’t this shown on TV?!
“At tribal, I had been focusing so much on blindsiding Helen, that I somewhat forgot about the ramifications of what would happen after,” Carson declares in a private confessional. “I’ve gotta start figuring out how I can make Sarah still feel comfortable, and make sure that we still could work together.”

Hey,"Survivor" fans. Tonight, March 15, 2023, another new episode of Survivor season 44 did indeed hit the air, and another unlucky contestant did get voted off the island at the end of it. Tonight's new episode kicked off with Carson telling the private cams about how he flipped on Helen Li to get her out at the last tribal council meeting for the Tika tribe. He said, "I just didn't trust Helen. Seeing her leave was a relief." Sarah told the private cams, "Carson is the most dangerous person right now. He's the cute little nerd that everybody trust." At the Soka tribe, people started to notice how close Matt B and Frannie are. Danny told the private cams that he's happy about Matt and Frannie because they keep the target off him.

Heading into the third episode of “Survivor 44,” the Soka tribe was still sitting pretty at six members, while Ratu was at five (after voting out Maddy Pomilla) and Tika was at four (after losing both Bruce Perreault and Helen Li). Gold Derby’s odds forecasted that Kane Fritzler of the Ratu tribe would be the next person to have his torch snuffed by Jeff Probst, but did our predictions come true on Wednesday night?

Unlike other reality television shows, it can be hard to come by spoilers for Survivor. Multiple sources come forward with “insider” information; most of the time, it’s fake. However, one person surprisingly submitted an accurate bootlist for Survivor Season 42, so we’re inclined to believe them when they say that they know the winner spoilers for season 44.

The 44th season of “Survivor” premiered March 1, 2023 on CBS and introduced 18 brand new castaways from diverse backgrounds and walks of life. This installment filmed in Summer 2022, so none of the contestants had the option of seeing how the twists and turns of “Survivor 43” played out on TV. Over the course of 26 days in Fiji, host Jeff Probst will snuff out every torch until only one person remains as the Sole Survivor and claims the $1 million prize. Will the various advantages, immunity idols or Shots in the Dark help your favorite players make it to the end?

Wednesday’s second episode of “Survivor 44” culminated in yet another blindside where a loss of votes from the risk/reward journey played a part in the result. This time, Helen Li was the player shocked by the majority votes against her, lamenting that it was “not how I wanted it to end.” Read on for her “Survivor 44” exit interview from the end of the episode.
Like many others, Helen said that she “dreamed of being on this show for so long.” As a superfan she jumped in to a game she knows very well and rolled with the punches of “new Survivor” that introduces twists like the public idol in the birdcage. The birdcage was center of mind for Helen’s Tika tribe this week. They agreed to look for the key to it together, but after a run-in with a snake they backed away from their group search, leaving...

In last week’s two-hour premiere of “Survivor 44,” the Tika tribe lost a natural leader in Bruce Perreault who was medically evacuated on Night 1 after suffering a head injury during the reward challenge. They rebounded by earning one of two immunities at the next challenge, sending the members of Ratu to Tribal Council where Maddy Pomilla was blindsided and sent home with only one vote cast against her. Which tribe won the second immunity challenge, and which castaway was the next to have their torch snuffed by Jeff Probst?

After Brandon Cottom single-handedly voted out Maddy Pomilla at the first Tribal Council of Survivor 44, the Ratu tribe return to their camp in episode 2. Matthew Grinstead-Mayle is excited since Brandon stayed and he flushed his hidden immunity idol.
Matthew also tells the cameras that he played his Shot in the Dark not because he thought he was in danger but so that he didn’t have to vote.

Whereas Survivor fans had very few spoilers for season 43, season 44 is an entirely different story. Plenty of leaks have spread around the internet, including one that host Jeff Probst surprisingly confirmed before the Survivor Season 44 premiere.

Along with winner spoilers, boot lists, and leaked medevacs, there was one rumor that a showmance would happen in Survivor Season 44.
It’s challenging to find where the spoiler originated, but fans frequently discussed it on the Survivor spoilers Reddit page. And it sounds like the initial rumor indicated that Matt Blankinship and Helen Li would start a romance. However, after some digging, it turns out that Helen has a boyfriend with whom she applied to Survivor. And that’s when people turned to the idea that the showmance is actually between Matt and Frannie Marin.
