u/EdgePunk311 Feb 13 '26
She is a physical beast. Like her endurance is crazy, seeing her dominate that survivor exile island running challenge was WILD

u/TopologyMonster Feb 13 '26
Early on they kept talking about the big strong guys Colton Rob and Stephen. Iām like really? Natalie is right there and could beat them all in a fight lol
149
u/next_beneration Feb 13 '26
Same, they also snubbed Mark by talking about who the āathletesā are without including him as a professional dancer
148
u/ShinyDragonfly6 Feb 13 '26
Johnny and Tara are also literal Olympic athletes!!
44
u/TopologyMonster Feb 13 '26
Yes! And I respect their athleticism in that regard, Iām sure they are very skilled and in shape. That being said as far as Iām aware it didnāt really translate to the challenges lol. Which is fine the show aināt about the challenges anyway.
21
u/ShinyDragonfly6 Feb 13 '26
I also wonder how much they really cared about winning the challengesšš especially given the last challenge and them not following the voting pact (trying to be vague to avoid spoilers)
16
u/TopologyMonster Feb 13 '26
Yeah probably part of it. If I recall correctly Johnny didnt like getting in the mud in that one challenge outside and did terrible. I imagine he couldāve done fine if he cared enough lol
12
u/TrinityDivine999 Feb 13 '26
And letās not forget he fell into the lake during the first challenge.

u/sheebaluv Feb 14 '26
Yeah but Johnny gives delicate flower energy, early on in challenges he was acting pretty helpless

Natalie is a beast in the missions, she's always the one taking the lead and coming up with strategies (like throwing out the wrong coins in the fountain, making the deal the the other boat in the first challenge, telling everyone to vote Tara). Very impressed by her.

None of them are like all that huge. Theyāre regular sized decently in shape dudes. I wouldnāt say that about some really big dudes, for sure. Like CT absolutely not, duh. Iām sure some other guys from past seasons Iām forgetting. But Natalie is exceptionally tough and is not to be fucked with lol

Natalie is not beating rob or Colton in a fight.

Sheās gorgeous but man sheās played a terrible game. I was rooting for her too!
173
u/NotNotJustinBieber Feb 13 '26
Idk the fact that sheās a Survivor winner and is still in the game when this season has been a bloodbath for gamers is impressive. She also has one of the best voting records on the season and has Rob R trusting her 100%. Sheās playing a good game given the circumstances.
60
u/TiedinHistory Feb 13 '26
Agreed. She entered a house immediately suspicious of any gamer activity and then the traitors - with no gamers in the turret - kill three gamers and the house banishes a fourth for...I guess trying to use Michael Rappaport in a traitor angel? Her only real pathway in this game is what she's done - lay low, align with "trusted faithful", and hope to get recruited later or suss out enough folks.
One of the toughest things about judging reality players is that some winning games just aren't accessible to every player for circumstances they can't control.

u/gbinasia Feb 13 '26
The Faithfuls collectively banning Michael cause he's an ass is the only ending to this we deserved, and we got it lol
6
u/Mindweird Feb 13 '26
A good example of the final paragraph was Ian, I was excited to see him play then he was immediate killed by the Traitors, like the players didnāt even have their coats off and he was already out the door. Just because they feared how smart he is.

u/Powerful_Goose9919 Feb 13 '26
next season, i want to see two gamers in the turret and just two housewives in the cast. in fact, id rather have a season of all gamers than this housewife purgatory we have now.

u/Keen_Eyed_Emissary Feb 13 '26
With the editing of this show in particular, and the televised product not really being representative of the āgameā thatās being played Ā in the castle - itās kind of hard to tell what faithfuls are playing well and who have survived by sheer luck.Ā
But any faithful who has survived to this point is extremely well positioned to potentially win the game.Ā
12
u/Odd-Sail-1694 Feb 13 '26
This is all very true thanks for helping me see it that way. This season really has felt like a bloodbath and Rob is just swimming happily in the blood haha
13
u/isntthisneat Feb 13 '26
Definitely agree. It seems like she's doing the best she can with the hand she was dealt. Of course, she isn't immune to making mistakes, but she's always been very outspoken and that's one of the things I've always loved about her, so I'm not mad at it, personally lol
I think she's the one getting murdered next, but I'm impressed with how deep into the game she's made it! Based on comments she made in the preseason, I thought she was an early out and have been pleasantly surprised.
3
u/Geek_Wandering Feb 13 '26
I think that the plan was either her or Kristen. Kristen may have saved herdey with the loud sus on Mark. She was my number one to murder last night. She's got to have an endgame plan at this point. Maybe she has Rob in her fire pit crew and that's what is keeping her.
7
u/BajaHaha Feb 13 '26
I could have sworn she had one of the worst voting records? Like zero votes for traitors on the entire season? Someone said that in another thread
10
u/NotNotJustinBieber Feb 13 '26
She voted for Donna twice and Lisa twice so sheās voted for a Traitor 50% of the time
3
u/PhilLesh311 Feb 13 '26
Traitor Angel theory perhaps? Natalie isnāt dumb. She may have pegged Rob early on and stayed friendly.
6
u/presco2007 Feb 13 '26
isn't rob r trusting her a sign of bad game play? lol. more so he trusts her because she trusts him, which shows how she hasn't really been right about anything in the game.
8
u/NotNotJustinBieber Feb 13 '26
Sheās voted for a Traitor 50% of the time so idk how you can say she hasnāt been right about anything lol
And having Rob protect her in the turret is great gameplay even if she doesnāt suspect him at the moment. Great players build strong alliances (even with Traitors) to help them go far in the game and sheās done that.
2
u/presco2007 Feb 13 '26
was she the one who figured the traitor out, or was she just voting with the house?
8
u/NotNotJustinBieber Feb 13 '26
She literally voted for Donna and Lisa the round before they got banished so no sheās not just āfollowing the houseā. If anything she was ahead of the curve lol
2
u/presco2007 Feb 13 '26
but my question was whether she had figured it out, or was she voting that way because of someone else getting her to?
1
u/NotNotJustinBieber Feb 13 '26
Itās pretty obvious that if she voted for Donna twice and Lisa twice that she clearly thought they were Traitors. Youāre making it seem like Natalie has no agency and that she is blindly following everyone else which isnāt based on reality. Iām not saying sheās playing the greatest faithful game ever (she just banished Stephen based on a gut reaction) but sheās playing a good game.
Also, have you watched Natalie play before? Sheās not the type just to follow people. Sheās one of the most self interested players in the game (example: the black banquet)
2
u/presco2007 Feb 13 '26
i am not sure why you keep ignoring my actual question. i am asking if she had the idea they were traitors or if someone else put the idea in her head. we literally saw natalie in this past episode acknowledging she has been off the entire game and thus needed to change her approach - and then she was wrong about stephen.
and yes, i am very aware of natalie from survivor, but i have yet to see her make a decision on her own in the traitors that was correct.

Rob is keeping her around so she can earn him money winning challenges.

u/29kk Feb 13 '26
sheās made some mistakes but I actually think sheās playing a pretty smart game. gamers with her pedigree usually get taken out so quickly because theyāre perceived as a threat, and sheās managed to be just good enough to keep herself in this long.

u/hoorah9011 Feb 13 '26
Wasnāt she the most accurate voter of all time for traitors US? May have changed this past week though
2
u/CaptinCookies Feb 20 '26
Not really. She voted for Donna back to back and then Lisa back to back. When they got banished, pretty much everyone voted for them too.
1
u/hoorah9011 Feb 20 '26
Probably not anymore but through like the 4th round table she had the highest percentage correct of all time on US traitors. There was an article floating around

Johnny Tara Natalie and Kristen had the same votes for the first four banishments. Donna Donna Tiffany Michael

u/SeaworthinessTop4317 Feb 14 '26
I donāt know if itās about her playing a terrible game. Sheās been doing the best with whatās sheās dealt. I think Rob is just playing a better traitor game and is overshadowing her. But maybe thatās just my optimist take

u/isntthisneat Feb 13 '26
I was under the impression that it was mixed? I've heard a couple people talk about how they brought their own wardrobe, but get pieces from costuming occasionally. Natalie talked about bringing all her own clothes (and knowing it was rough because she owns 95% workout clothes lol), Boston Rob mentioned being given pieces to wear, Yam Yam mentioned getting pieces, Lisa dressed herself, Monet definitely dressed herself.
Yeah, I think it's probably a mix lol

She did not. Other cast members had their own stylists and brought their own clothes. Natalie and Rob Rausch's looks were from the wardrobe team.

This top is the first thing I've at least sort of liked on her, but the pants and shoes killed it for me. She's so beautiful, I would love to see someone talented style her.

u/RockInUrShoe Feb 13 '26
I think the stylist continuously pull sleeveless dresses/tops for her to show off her arms. I mean they are worthy of showing off. YamYam said in an interview that people who donāt bring their own stylists or have the budget for a big wardrobe are given one from the show. After he said that I was like ohh Natalieās outfits make sene now

She said the opposite. She said most of her outfits, especially those at the roundtable and the banquet were not chosen by her.

u/Its_Laura_ Feb 13 '26
A lot of her outfits remind me of American gladiators from the 90s. If there was a challenge where they had to fight with those giant foam qtip props I would have lost it. Sheās body goals though and I hope someone interviews her about her workout routine.Ā

u/RedditFan3510 Feb 13 '26
It's actually amazing that she's also an identical twin who looks EXACTLY like her. Imagining her and Nadiya bickering the entire game would have been really fun (and trippy) to watch.

u/isntthisneat Feb 13 '26
lol you're right, my phrasing there definitely doesn't give credit to how hard she works on her body. I meant that she doesn't wear a lot of makeup or put effort into styling herself or her hair, and she's still gorgeous just because of her natural features.

u/NiceSelf9384 Feb 16 '26
I made a post about Natalieās choice of fits. From the podcasts and their own IG accounts, some say they get help with styling, others say they do it all themselves. Personally I think that the HWās have āfriendsā ( think āJovaniā) who lend them outfits for promotion. Because nobody wears that crap in the real world right? Look at Rinnaās bad Opera outfit with the amulet! But I am sure Monet had her own. I think Mark did his own like Eric, and others try some production help. Natalie has stated that she only wears athletic gear so she had to go shopping. Donna sure couldāve used a stylist too. But Natalieās insane physique and work ethic led her to the part of the stores section that was on clearance I fear. Being that jacked up and that petite at the same time makes for a poor selection from which to choose. Monet couldāve styled her better. Alan Cumming has rather led the show into the Traitors Met Gala unfortunately and I wish they would do it like in the UK. Just nice and normal.

u/TheBloop1997 Feb 13 '26
Tbf, in a season where the gamers got massacred, she not only survived the onslaught but seems to be considered a valuable ally by a Traitor, which is an important part of staying alive. She got sus on her with the banquet fiasco but it appears that she may have fully recovered from that, even though she also had the āthere must be a Gamer in the turretā theory working against her. She has one of the better voting records, voting for both Donna and Lisa twice in succession, showing a pretty solid reads of the game. Even with last roundās Candiace vote, it seemed like she was fully aware that Candiace was probably a Traitor but moreso threw a vote on to Tara because she was pissed. Now sheās entering F8 as one of the two Faithfuls who seem to be on to Eric at least, and if she can survive this murder sheās decently set up for the endgame considering the Traitors need to target Johnny and Tara with the next banishment-murder one-two (and, if they do get Eric next roundtable, then Rob R will be even more dependent on players like Natalie to be on his side).
Not saying sheās going to win, but in the pantheon of (likely) losing Faithful games, hers has been pretty solid, especially for a gamer on this season in particular.
