‘Survivor 46’: Who’s your favorite castaway in the Top 12? [POLL]

The merge finally came to the cast of “Survivor 46” on Wednesday, April 3, but not until after Moriah Gaynor was voted out of the game by a near-unanimous vote. That decision left an even dozen people still on the island, all with shiny new red Buffs they wore proudly around their necks. From this group, who is YOUR favorite castaway in the Top 12? Vote in our poll below.
The final dozen contestants are a mix of three original Yanu tribe members (Kenzie Petty, Q Burdette and Tiffany Nicole Ervin), four original Siga tribe members (Ben Katzman, Charlie Davis, Maria Shrime Gonzalez and Tim Spicer), and five original Nami tribe members (Hunter McKnight, Liz Wilcox, Soda Thompson, Tevin Davis and Venus Vafa).
How did we get here? Well, prior to Moriah’s ouster, host Jeff Probst randomly divided the remaining 13 players into two groups for the “merge limbo” challenge. One side consisted of Charlie, Moriah, Maria, Liz, Soda and Venus, and the other was made up of Kenzie, Q, Ben, Tim, Hunter and Tevin. The odd person out was Tiffany, so she got to pick a team to root for, and she chose the latter. Despite the David vs. Goliath appearance of the teams, the challenge was a nail-biter with Tiffany’s choice prevailing. Thus, those seven participants all received Buffs, making them safe at tribal council, and they also got to partake in a merge feast.
Back at camp, the two people on the losing group that appeared to be most in danger were Moriah and Venus. Moriah let everyone believe her old Siga tribe was five-strong, despite her being very obviously on the bottom. Venus didn’t like that her name was being thrown out, so she suggested Charlie’s name instead, since she didn’t want another woman to go home. In the end, Moriah’s decision to remain quiet about her true standing in the tribe was the reason she was sent home, because everyone thought Siga was strong and they wanted to weaken them by voting someone out.
Moriah became the sixth person to leave the game, following Jemila “Jem” Hussain-Adams, Bhanu Gopal, Randen Montalvo, Jessica “Jess” Chong and David Jelinsky. Who will be voted out next?
