S16: Fans vs Favorites [9/10] - The F'n Stick & an Ozzy Blindside

It’s time for our first ever returnee season: Season 16 - Fans vs Favorites! Strategy is (almost) always top of mind for this cast, and we’re eager to witness legendary moment after legendary moment. It’s merge time, and what was on the surface an easy 6-4 majority for the Favorites went the complete other way. After snuggling with another woman, Ozzy gets a bit too cocky for his own good and becomes the latest to get blindsided. Amanda debates whether she wants to be part of Parvati’s new alliance, while Eliza frantically searches for a way to survive. And we all react to the revelation that Jason’s almighty hidden immunity idol was, in fact, “just an f’n stick.” Recorded: January 19th, 2026 ---------------- Intro (00:00) Jason and the F’n Stick (1:25) Ep. 9 Immunity C. – Last Gasp (11:42) Tribes Merged (15:31) Amanda’s Reaction to Parvati’s New Alliance (18:55) Ozzy Cheating on Amanda?
