Survivor 46 finale sneak peek: "Maria has a giant target on her back"

We're only a few days away from the Survivor 46 finale, but the first look at the final episode of the season, titled "Friends Going to War," is here!

In the clip, Maria, Liz, Kenzie, Charlie, and Ben are sitting around the fire back at the Nuinui camp immediately after the tribe voted out Q.

To recap, Q was voted out with a hidden immunity idol in his pocket. Maria and Q teamed up to vote for Charlie, but the rest of the tribe didn't follow suit. They voted out Q. Now, Maria has returned to camp after trying to make a move to take out her top ally in the game. Talk about awkward.

Of course, Survivor is going to save the first Maria and Charlie interaction after Maria tries to take him out for the finale, but this is a great look at what's on the way in the next episode.

It's interesting because it seems like the perception of Maria has changed in recent weeks. I'm not saying that she's not going to win or get the most votes, but Venus took a shot at her during her final tribal council. Liz has been anti-Maria for a few weeks. It will be interesting to see how she's perceived by the jury if she gets to the end.

After giving credit to Liz for finally taking out Q, Maria says, "Y'all are playing way harder than I thought."

Liz is clearly insulted. Kenzie looks insulted as well. Ben makes a joke, but it's hard to read what he's thinking. Charlie is absent. Clearly, that's an insulting thing to say, especially when Maria's gotten credit for some of the bigger moves of the game so far.

"But at this point in the game, Maria has a giant target on her back," Liz says.

After the last vote didn't go well, Maria knows she's on the bottom and knows there's a massive target on her.

"Winning tomorrow is imperative," Maria says. "Like this is the time to just go for it, to fight as hard as I can, and either win or go down fighting."

Watch the sneak peek at the season finale!

So, it appears that immediately after the vote Maria recognizes the position that she's in. It's going to take a lot for her to make it to the final three. Either she's going to have to get lucky, pull two people to her side, or win immunity. That's just to get through one vote. Then, it could come down to immunity or fire-making to make it into the final three.

Honestly, it's never as it appears in Survivor! There's still a chance Maria will win two immunity challenges. She could pull Ben and Charlie back into the fold for a Siga final three. There are so many different ways things could all shake out.

And as I mentioned, we don't have too long to wait until the finale on May 22! Stay tuned for more information!
