Welcome back to another can’t-miss episode of Split the Vote! Tim and Rob return to break down all the subtle tension and slow-burning gameplay of Survivor Season 48, Episode 10: “My Enemies Are Plottin’” The game isn’t imploding—yet—but the fuse is definitely lit.

In This Episode:

The Calm Before the Chaos: We’re still waiting for the beach to catch fire—but that doesn’t mean the game isn’t simmering. The castaways are playing a methodical, chess-like game, and while it’s a dream for strategy lovers, it’s got us wondering: when will the real scrambling begin?

A Fallen Star: One of the season’s most entertaining players was voted out this week—and we’re still recovering. Her exit leaves a Star-shaped hole in the season, and we reflect on what could have been if certain moves were made.

Subtle Domination: Why are players being so cautious? We dig into the current vibe of the season—where boldness is rare, and quiet control reigns. It’s a fascinating study in restraint, and we’re asking: is subtle domination actually the most effective path in today’s Survivor, even if it doesn’t always make for great TV?

Waffles, Rhymes & Watch Parties: Yes, there was a fried chicken and waffles rap, and yes, we’re still thinking about it. Plus, we share stories from recent Brice and Wen Presents events and reflect on how Survivor continues to bring people together beyond the game.

Trust vs. Paranoia: As we head into the final stretch, the question becomes: do you play with trust, or with fear? We break down the psychological tightrope the remaining players are walking—and why it might be smarter to wait, even if it’s not flashiest.

Dynamic Duos: Kamilla and Kyle continue to thrive under the radar, and we’re loving every second of it. How long can a secret duo keep flying low before the target catches up?

Plus:

Predictions for the endgame

Self-image, timing, and what makes someone finally pull the trigger
