i would vote for charlie over kenzie cuz he and maria controlled the game, but tbh his game in s46 is the most overrated new era game imo. i give maria a bit more credit for the control they as a duo had, and he just didn’t know how to connect with this jury. he tried to come off as too game-botty when it seemed clear they wanted to see the human side of their winner, which kenzie did a great job with
Maria getting heat for not voting Charlie at FTC is stupid too. Like we can’t just expect that turning on your closest ally and putting them on jury guarantees their vote, which is what Charlie assumed. Charlie figured his number 1 would vote him after he turned on her and that’s his own mistake, not hers
Tbf I do think Maria's vote was one of the most unexpected jury votes of all time. Like she did not seem bitter at him when she left and then she completely changed her tune in like 2 days. I'm not saying she can't vote for whoever she wants, but I do think it's understandable that Charlie didn't anticipate it and I'm not 100% sure what he should've done instead (other than just not going to the end with Kenzie)
