Survivor finale tonight!
Comments (15)In the past, hidden idols could be used through the fourth from last council, so with six or five people. I like Tasha but she hasn't played the best social game. I like how Kelley hides in plain sight. They keep looking at her as if she were a weak girl, even though she's shown time and again that she's playing on all levels. In many ways, I think she's earned it the most, though none of them would bother me as winners. I like Spencer, but he's so clueless! I could root for Keith because he's just on a different level--while he sounds clueless, I think he's just out to make the best of things and get that million dollars, and he's playing but not making a big deal of it. Jeremy seems like a really good guy, but while his head is in the game, I don't think he's been seen playing it so much as existing in it. I have a soft spot in my heart for Kimmie. She seems to be on a different planet, and more surviving than playing. So I guess I'm rooting for Kelley to win, and maybe Keith as an alternative. But I wouldn't mind any of them. They did manage, in the end, to cut out all the drama. :)...See MoreSurvivor finale tonight! Who do you like?
Comments (42)"I loved the way the final votes were read but trying to figure out how and when that was planned." "A tie could happen anytime, it would only take 1 person to vote for the 3rd person to make a tie." Last season, in one of the Q & A sessions that Dalton Ross does with Jeff Probst, the subject of a tie came up and Jeff said that if there were a tie at the final tribal, then the person not involved in the tie would cast the final, deciding, vote. If you think about it, this is what they do in "regular" tribal councils when there is a tie vote to oust someone. The folks who are tied do not get to vote again, and everyone else votes again with votes only being cast for one or the other of the folks who are tied. Ok, now for "how and when it was planned." When everyone is done voting at a tribal council, Jeff always says, "I'll go tally the votes." Then he comes back and dramatically pulls them from the urn and reads them. If Jeff just grabbed the urn and brought it back to his post and started randomly pulling them out and reading them, it would not be nearly as dramatic as it has been. That's because when he goes off to "tally the votes," he actually looks at each one, and then they are arranged in the urn in a manner that will provide the most drama as they are being read. In last night's case, when Jeff previewed the votes and saw that there was a tie, he knew he HAD to read them out loud to the group right then and there, because he knew that Laurel would have to cast the deciding vote. No, he couldn't have waited and had Laurel cast the vote at the beginning of the reunion show, because it would have been a tainted vote. Think about it -- when they are on location, they have no idea what is going on. They only know what they see and hear. They don't know what another player is saying to the camera in the "confessional" interviews; they don't know what other players and saying to each other behind someone's back, etc. By the time the live shows rolls around, they've been home for several months, and they've watched every episode on tv, just like we have. That final vote needed to be cast in a manner that represented what Laurel felt at the time, uninfluenced by outside factors....See More12/15 Survivor finale tonight
Comments (24)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....See More12/18 Survivor Finale Pt 2
Comments (15)Sue is one amazing woman. I know she's had work but her body is so muscular and at 59, she was a threat in challenges. I'm glad so many women were at the end. Sam was the entitled male and I was sad Teeny lost the fire challenge. Absolutely there should be barriers for both players so the wind doesn't decide the outcome. I didn't know Rachel was a standby in the last season. I didn't even know of such a thing. Loyalty is very important and it played out in this season. Rachel deserved to win and it should have been unanimous. You don't vote for friendship like Kyle did....See More- 10 years ago
