Can't wait. I don't know who will win, but David and Jay have played pretty hard

Who's excited?? Me!! I'm pulling for Adam or Jay or Ken. No particular order. Dead last....Hannah, absolutely. I hope she's the first to go tonight. Then Bret and David. Don't really care which one goes first. I just hope and pray Hannah goes first. It's mind boggling to me that she thinks she has played so hard. She has been used like so many others for her vote.

I had to look it up. It was Erik talking to Sherri at final tribal (the year Cochran won) paraphrasing obviously here...."You are a shell in the sand, worthless, you have done absolutely nothing to deserve to be here except you were used strictly for your votes" That's how I feel about Hannah.

I think David is trying to do the Cochran thing, self deprecating no self esteem, yada yada. It has gotten old for me. He's playing hard, strategically, so I guess that moves him one step above Bret for me.

I can't wait, but I'm with everyone else, what the heck do we do now on Wednesday evening? lol

I think lasting this long they all deserve it. But since no one mentioned wanting Hannah to win...I hope she wins. ;0) wink

Has Ken fallen out of favor? Good--I don't think he's done enough to win. I think he's won one immunity challenge, but he should have won more being one of the big men. He usually goes along with the votes but never plans a vote.

I'm hoping for Adam or David. Both have been underdogs and have found idols and have made strategic votes. I always give points to anyone who goes hunting for idols instead of laying around camp.

David for me, although I don't dislike anyone.

It has been a very good season and was entertaining game play. I don't have a solid choice . It was Ken and I still like him and would be fine with him winning but he lost a little in my view by opening his mouth when he shouldn't have . I don't want Bret to win definitely . Top 3 for me I guess would be Ken , David , Adam. No particular order . I would prefer a gen x win lol.

It has been a good season. David is the main reason why--he used his idol to save alliance members instead of holding it. I think the challenges have been a little more interesting too. It seemed like they were doing the same old things the past few years.

Oh, I forgot Jay. He deserves it more than Ken, Hannah, or Brett.

I did not know that the finale was tonite. I am with katlin on the final 3. I will be very disappointed if Hannah wins.

Only 10 minutes in and what a brilliant move! Couldn't resist commenting! :)

I'm not happy. The CBS station is having bad pixilating problems and I'm missing most of it.

Wow! I'm shocked at the final three! Not spoiling anything.

Me too!!! Final tribal arguments up next.

Yeah! And unanimous, too!

Omg my Beast Mode Cowboy is coming back next season!

Not going to say anything about tonight yet.

Great season.

Twas quite the vote!

I wasn't happy about the winner and surprised it was unanimous. The back story was sad but a person should be judged on his game, not the story from home.

Missed the entire season but for sure the choice was simple: Pentatonix Christmas!!!

Agree with Lily! Not happy with the winner, I would't have given him a vote.

Here's the recap

I felt bad for Ken. He rocked those last challenges. He looked like a giant last night sitting next to Adam. Dave's fake idol was hysterical and so was Jay's reaction(s) to/with it. His face when Jeff burned it, priceless.

Taylor (FiggyTales, I could puke) is a weasel. Figgy knows it, wonder how long it'll take his real GF to figure it out?

I'm glad Michaela is getting another chance to play, but it seems like every other season is a rerun of old players. How many times has Ozzie been on? And the woman who has won twice, Sandra? Are they trying for a Trifecta for her? Crazy!

I'm predicting that Sandra will be the first one voted off next season.

Here's more about next season. Hate to have to wait until March!

graywings123.....I had to look them up, yeah I agree. Debbies another one....

I agree with FlamingO about Michaela, and the returning players. Some of those returning players, even ones I liked a lot, are people I never, ever want to see on the show again! And ones like Tony, one time was too many. Seriously, they cannot be out of good, new contestants that want to play. Disappointing.

Did anyone miss the lack of a food auction or gross eating challenge this past round? I didn't. They had begun to have a sameness about them.

Well, at least it wasn't Hannah!!! I still would have liked to see Ken win, but I'm o.k. with Adam. He pulled the sick mother card and I think that's what sealed the deal. My heart breaks for him and his family, but I agree with Lily, that shouldn't decide the game. I'm very grateful he got to see his mom one more time before she died.

Did you notice how Ken kept starring at the floor and would barely make eye contact? I think he was sincere about his own anxieties and social struggles. Taylor and Figgy are both pigs. I feel sorry for his baby.

I have said it many times, and here it goes again. STOP BRINGING PREVIOUS PLAYERS BACK!! There are so many people who would love to have a shot at this game. Sandra? SANDRA?! Gag me with a spoon. Perfect example of worthless pos that did absolutely nothing, was carried along for her vote, and because the jury was soooo pissed at the other people, they threw their vote at her. I can't stand it. Hopefully I feel better about it come March, because right now I feel like, yeah, I'll watch once they get rid of her.

I do love this show though!!!!

I agree with most of you that the sympathy card was played and won him the votes. If he had downplayed it, only briefly mentioning it, he may have gotten my vote. But alas, I wasn't there to vote him out. ☺

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 thought it was really sad a week or so ago when I read here (can't recall who posted it) that Adam's mother died two days after filming was over. But last night when Adam said that his mother died one hour after he got home, I lost it.

However, having said that, I don't think that Adam should have won. Of the three, I was rooting for Ken. The money wouldn't have been able to save Adam's mother, and he is only giving $100,000 to charity in her honor. Why not $500,000 (or more)? On the other hand, the money would have enabled Ken to give his daughter a better life. Ken grew as a person while out there, Adam did not.

Don't forget (as Richard Hatch did) that federal and state taxes have to be paid from the prize money. I think Adam is in California, so that would mean about 45% of the money going to taxes. A million dollars sounds nice, but it's not enough to retire on in a plush lifestyle.

Richard Hatch didn't "forget" that taxes have to be paid. He claimed that CBS and the show's producers promised him that they would pay the taxes.

Of course, the idiot didn't realize that this argument would fall flat because if someone pays your taxes for you, that's considered income -- which is taxable.

My favorite was David. I think he was a stand-up guy. But aside aside from Adam's sad story, he shouldn't have won. If not David, then for sure Ken. he was a quiet likable guy who did much work around the camp and won challenges. I felt really sad for Adam but didn't like him as a person. Hannah was smart but irritating as hell.

I'm with the rest of you. Stop bringing retreads back.

When we were watching the finale last night and they showed the clip of scenes from next season, as soon as I saw Sandra I told my husband that I am NOT going to watch it at all next season. I cannot stand her. Twice she has been on. Twice she has won when she did nothing at all to earn the win. Why give her a third chance? I confess that I think that if someone has won, they probably shouldn't get another chance -- let someone else have a shot at the $1 million. But someone who has won twice shouldn't even be allowed in the studio to watch the finale.

All 20 of the contestants who will be on next season have been on Survivor before. Some have won, some have not. But there won't be any new players at all.

Me, again. :-)

I just read this preseason interview of Ken from Parade Magazine online. There is also a post-season interview of Ken from Parade Magazine online. Some of you may be interested in reading them. I really, really wish he had won last night.

Would love to have seen David in the finale, but that would more than likely have cinched it for him. Also feel that Adam played the sympathy card at the end when it counted the most. Was rooting for Ken all along!

I wasn't happy with the winner. Such a crybaby. I'm also tired of them bringing people back. They had their chance now let someone else play. There should be no professional Survivor players.
