I'm pulling for Davie. With the reunion, it's 3 hours!

I'm hoping they continue with the tradition of NOT going on a journey back to review the past players. I always hated that part of the last show!

I really have no clue who will win. I like Davie, Nick and Alison. But I don't feel strongly about any of them winning or losing. I dislike Angelina and I think she's the only one that I would not be happy about if she won.

3 hours.. no way I'll be staying up to watch that tonight! Thank God for the dvr! I know in the past I've fast forwarded thru quite a bit of the last show to see who wins. :)

A new season in Feb? That seems pretty fast!

That's standard, new seasons in Sept and February. I'll stay up for it all. I'm interested in the theme for the next season. About time to have some of the good players return, I think. I don't mind that, as long as it's not too many or too often.

I am pulling for Davie also. Can't stand Angelina. I agree, Kara-who? For some reason Mike just rubs me the wrong way, I would not trust him at all. Allison did not show me much, but would be o.k. with her winning. Same with Nick.

I have to say that a lot of my opinions came from hearing/reading interviews with those on the jury. And the Ponderosa videos, too.

I'm 0-2 on my reality competition picks this week, so I'll just keep mine to myself. (But, the Eagles won!)

When you mentioned Kara, I had to think for a moment who she was lol. My final three at this point would be Davie (taking the win), Allison and Nick. Really sad to see the season ending.

It's the same thing every season ending, I wonder what I'll be watching on Wed nights after tonight. ☺

I'm with Matti, Davie (for the win), Allison and Nick. I don't trust Mike either; despise is probably too strong a word but I really don't like Angelina and don't want her near the final 3, I doubt she's ever done a good deed in her life that wasn't done to gain something for herself. Kara? Kara who? lol I did have to think about her for a second or two before a mental image arose. Hasn't done enough (or much of anything) to deserve a seat in the final 3, much less win. Can't wait to see what the next season holds!

Well because of our family bet I want Nick to win!! Son picked Angelina son in law picked Davie. I really dont want Angelina to win. Kara and Alison dont deserve it. Mike is a snake that played both sides, he just looks slimey. Im sorry it's over already. Go Nick!!!

Oh dear! X’s 2!

Darn!

Interesting.

BTW, this is my play by play. Don’t think I will give it away.

Wow!

Changng my mind on who I want to win!

wow. and wow again. lol.

Yay

Someone got a zero.....

Quite a good season.

I’m 0-3 this week, but I ain’t too mad! Great players! Ended up a better season than I expected. And, oh, my, next season!!!

It’s over. We recorded it and I fast forwarded thru a lot of the yappetty yap. I was just sick of it all. Happy with the ending. The reunion is always kind of disappointing, not enough time with the interesting ones. I think we’ll be seeing a couple of those players again.

They said see you in the spring. So not feb? Shoot. Oh well. See everyone tomorrow to talk about the final 3. I agree, the finale was underwhelming. Not enough time. They shouldn't have given Natalie 10 seconds of air time.

Feb 20, I think. Ends in May. Both sweeps rating months.

I am happy. This was an amazing season. I hope next will be as good. So glad to see Joe!

I'm very satisfied with the outcome, and really looking forward to next season!

Thankfully someone got zero votes. Wonder where her tights are?

I felt somewhat vindicated when Angelina got zero votes. I've been saying for a while that it would be safe to take her to the end. Did you catch Mike calling her a "cruel psychopath"? I laughed at that one, she was so transparent. And how she acted at the final TC before the jury voted? She has no more self-awareness than Natalie.

Here's the recap

https://ew.com/recap/survivor-david-vs-goliath-season-finale-winner/

It was gratifying to see "the closer" closed with a goose egg - a fake idol to embarrass a tribe mate and then preening to the jury about it and saying 'she' had enough votes to boot Alison (but would play her real idol just in case), it was just unbelievable that she thought these were winning moves with the jury. Nick was so right that she was the least of his worries to sit next to at the finale.

Happy that Angelina got zero votes and even happier that Nick won. He made the right choice taking her to the final. Sad that we have to wait until Spring!

I won!!! haha. I liked Davie, very personable, likeable, sweet kid. He didn't do much. I did a massive eye roll every time Alison checked her pulse. My eye muscles are sore! lol Kara was a non entity.

Could Mike have been anymore whiny? I'm like, I'm here for like, the whole experience. Like I came to like wiiiiin. Good Lord, he got 3 people to buy that load of crap he was dishing out.

Angelina. Gag me. Just like sushipup said, no self awareness. Can she really be that unaware of how offensive she is? How people see right thru her? She played just about every card there was. Woman in this day and age, finding our voice, #metoo, military wife, woman of color. Wth! You were mean, cruel, and an all around offensive person. And EVERYONE saw thru it. Wonder what's going thru her mind right now after seeing she got zero votes?

I'm sad it's over. I'm happy I won! Bragging rights til the next one. Who are the other 2 returning players, did I miss it? I saw Joe and Aubry but didn't see who the other 2 were.

Angelina is delusional, thinking she’s a mastermind and so brilliant. All her bragging about climbing and finding the idol, she could never have found it without 2 men helping her. So to be all puffed up about that, being one of the few women to ever find an idol, I don’t think she’s technically in that small club. And she did want to humiliate Alison, what a petty person she is.

Mike really lost me after he snarked at Alison, I couldn’t believe she voted for him, she’s more forgiving than I am. He lucked out in the fire challenge.

I’m glad Nick won and Angelina got skunked. I hope Mike is done now, first on The Amazing Race and then Survivor. Enough already.

Oh Mike had to bring out the tears! As his final shot to gain points. Such a big baby! It was disgusting to see him act so confused by Allison's comment that he was a threat. Snaky acting liar.

I swear how did Kara who? Get that far in the game? She did nothing and her name was never brought up for eliminating.

I loved Davey talking to Jeff at the reunion. He was a great guy and very smart person. I really enjoyed him.

Angelina was a waste of time and effort. What a delusional wacko. She tried playing the military wife card and it did not help lol I love Jeff saying that the ladder was only 8 ft lol! She climbed 100 ft! With stickers in her butt and waa waa waa they tore her leggings! Please burn those gross things!

Nick is a great guy too and I am glad out of the remaining group he was the winner. He can continue to do good work for his community. He is a smart man, his speech was impressive and winning. A lot of the jury truly liked him.

I don't understand why on earth Allison and Christian voted for Mike! He was so rude to Allison and he was dead set on getting Christian voted out. And I do not think he has hundreds of people working for him. When does he work he was on the amazing race and now survivor. Man I hope he is not going to be on big brother!

I think this season was a huge improvement over the past years. The previews look good for the next season too. Extinction! And Joe is coming back!

It was all over the internet that there was going to be a proposal on the reunion show but it didn't happen. Any one know who was supposed to propose? I thought maybe it was zeke and his boyfriend. But they just got a kiss in. Lol

Two thumbs up!

So many of us agree! That does not usually happen. Davie gone, than Nick. Acting, multi-face Mike. Pulse-checking eye rolls. Ugh, Angelina. I liked that they actually talked to the contestants in the final show. The past few years, the show was more audience drummed up stuff, and boring.

For multiple years running, I've been able to pick up a tell in the opening segment of the final show, that gives away someone in the final three. This time, as the camera was panning way out and away, just before Mike gets out of the scene, I saw him bite his lower lip for a fraction of a second. I called Mike in the final three right then, which rather messed up the suspense of the tribal in the episode.

I don't know how Cara got so far and whiny Mike as well. I wanted Christian all along. He reminded me of Spenser. Likable guy. Angelina saw how her game played out with zero votes. What she did to Allison was junior high stuff and she's sooo smart, she says. She must have hit her head climbing her 100 foot ladder. I loved how Jeff said it was eight feet tall. ..Love that Joe is back next time . Lose the curly mustache. He's just a hunk and nice guy.

Gyr-falcon, I got fooled into thinking Alison made it to the final 3 when she was sitting there at the beginning looking really nervous and blowing out her breath like she couldn’t breathe. I was so sorry to be wrong.

Yeah, military wife for extra credit. That chick is shameless in her pleading and begging. Now, don’t forget, she bargained for rice!!! She’s a legend in her own mind.

I wonder why Allison was constantly checking her pulse on her neck? Did she have a history of problems?

katlan I suspect that at least one of the current cast members is also in the next season, and that's why they weren't shown. I could do without Aubry, but, JOE!!! :-)

I doubt she's checking her pulse, it's just a gesture than she does all the time. We all have little gestures like that.

As for Mike working, I'd say that he does plenty of it. Remember that in his business, the largest amount of work is a couple of years ahead on any project.

Regarding Mike -- his net worth is $4 million, so he certainly didn't need to win this for the money. Coming in at second place, he earned $100,000 (plus, all the contestants who appear on the Reunion show earn another $10,000). To read up on Mike, here's a link to his Wikipedia page.

Here are the people returning for next season

Alison was even checking her pulse on the reunion show! I thought that was funny. I think she is checking it sushipup... since she's a physician I can't imagine what else she would be doing. If it's a nervous tic she needs to stop! lol

Oh absolutely she is checking her pulse. I check mine often also because I have irregular heart beats and I can usually feel it kicking in. I wondered if she has some type of history.

Lots of people asking about the pulse check.

I noticed the pulse check at every tribal council and also a couple of times at camp. I too think she has some type of medical issue.

I’m not a doctor but I play one on TV. Maybe she has Marfan’s syndrome. She’s very tall and thin, long fingers, etc and heart problems come with it.

Here's what Alison had to say in her interview afterwards.

https://ew.com/tv/2018/12/20/survivor-david-vs-goliath-alison-raybould-finale/

"Wow. What happened to you up on that perch in the water? You couldn’t get your balance. What was going on?
Well, first of all, I’m deathly afraid of
heights. And so standing on a 15-foot-high whatever it was was just
terrifying to me. But secondly, the last time I had eaten anything truly
substantial was the wrap, which I vomited up. So I had reason to
believe I had severe electrolyte abnormalities, including low magnesium.
Which leads to muscle twitching. Which leads to me not being able to
stand on a balance beam or all the endurance games that we had this
season or the stand on a tiny perch in the middle above the water."

I can't imagine they would let anyone on the show who had known heart problems. I think she knows too much ... most probably wouldn't think their lack of eating could possibly mean their magnesium is too low. lol
