The reason I mentioned Dan as a possible winner is because they have given him almost NO air time during the whole season. The only thing they have shown is bits and pieces of "Poor worthless gimpy Dan!" Many of them talked about keeping Na to take to the end, but did anyone mention Dan to take to the end. There is a "LOT" that goes on that we never see. They usually "blindsight" us with the editing. If the winner is obvious, they would lose viewers. From what we have seen, Dan is less "deserving" (although I think anyone who makes it to the end IS deserving) then some of the others. For that matter Jane looked very deserving, until last week! I should be very interesting! I'm preparing our pizza!

Ken seemed subdued last night. I wonder if he was in shock to find out David didn't vote for him. And why didn't he?? I don't think Adam played the sick mom card. He kept that secret for 39 days and imagine how tough that must have been, especially after learning at the family visit that her last hope for treatment failed. He only talked about it to answer Jay's question, and that opened the flood gates. We don't know if he would have brought it up otherwise, unless he planned all along to use it at tribal. Hannah tried her best to make Adam look insignificant to her gameplay. Maybe that turned off the jury as they know Hannah for who she is and not for what she tried to make them believe about her. Ken got strong at the end in challenges but the jury didn't witness how hard he fought so maybe it was too little too late. Then Bret gave the credit to Adam for convincing Ken to vote out David! That hadda hurt! Great season and now retreads. Ugh. Only interested in watching Ozzy, Tai, and Michaela. I saw Malcolm in the previews.

"I would like to see it get back to how it was in the beginning. " Nooooooooooooooooooo. Remember when they ate ALL that gross stuff in food challenges? It was awful!!!!!! The dead bird that was almost ready to hatch....oh...and the BIG bug larvae.....nasty.....nasty.....nasty! No one should be falling face first into a fire and have to have skin grafts on his hands. I think it was too much to ask that people hurt themselves for a show. Now they have bandaids....did you notice? They don't show every little boo boo and owie. Much better.

I don't know what Erika did that Xander didn't to win Survivor except that she went to Exile Island and broke an hourglass. Big whoop! They both won two challenges and survived being on the bottom, but Xander found an idol that caused him to lose his vote and he still survived. I think the rest of them may have had a personal dislike for Xander but I don't see why. And poor Xander, even at the final tribal he thought Ricard was looking out for him when he whispered "Play your idol." Ricard was irrationally upset with Xander for not playing his idol for him and assuring him a spot in the final three and therefore the million dollars. Ricard would have never played his idol for Xander. I hope Xander sees him in a true light now after watching the show.
