Charlie Davis
The Swiftie strategist who ran the Survivor 46 endgame, cut his closest ally loose, and lost the crown 5-3-0 when she voted against him.
Known for
Charlie charmed Siga with his awkward warmth and his Taylor Swift devotion while sitting in the swing seat beside Maria Shrime Gonzalez. After the merge the duo used Q Burdette as cover to blindside Hunter McKnight and Tiffany Nicole Ervin with idols in hand. Then Charlie built a final four with Ben Katzman, Kenzie Petty and Liz Wilcox, took out Venus Vafa, and decided his game looked too much like Maria's to share a final three with her. He blindsided Q, then voted Maria out at the next Tribal. At Final Tribal he laid out a clean strategic résumé, but Kenzie won 5-3-0, and Maria's vote for her stung hardest.
He brought that wound into In the Hands of the Fans. After the switch to Cila, Rizo Velovic let slip that he had allegedly not voted for his own top ally to win at his season's Final Tribal Council, and Charlie took it personally. Rizo flipped Dee Valladares and Kamilla Karthigesu, and Charlie went out 4-3 at the Double Tribal.
