From what I understood.....the finale is being pre-taped. They don't want ANY reaction to Dan or discussion about Dan. We probably won't see a "reaction"....it will happen OFF camera.

Oh rats, I have book club tonight, so I’ll miss the first hour. I’ll count on you all to fill me in.

Unless the jury is briefed off-camera before the next TC, you will see a reaction. Nicole, the finale is being pre-taped, but I'm talking about the show itself. No, I do not expect them to air any discussion about Dan.

sushi...yes....they ARE being briefed. The legal aspect of what happened could have repercussions....damage Dan's career. Their lawyers have advised them of what they need to do. We ALL know the show is "staged" for the audience to see what they want us to see. I'm not expecting any drama.....unless Noura loses her mind....again.....:0)

Elaine's Ponderosa....GAWD I LOVE HER!

I feel the same, Janey. I really don't like her.

I'd love to see Janet win, but the odds certainly are not in her favor. Darn you Dean and your nullifier!!!!

Really hoping loose canon Noura doesn't win, although she would be interesting to watch at final tribal.

I am hoping for Janet as well but not feeling too good about her odds. So my next choice would be Lauren because I think she probably has actually played the game the best... although I can't remember if she had any part with the lying girls and Dan... I hope not!

If I had to guess who will probably win though I think it will be Tommy.

Noura will probably make it to the final 3 because everyone knows she can be easily beaten.

I just hope this “circus” will be over so it will be shown!

They'll no doubt interrupt for the vote.

down to 4........eek

All in all, a good show.

Not bad, I suppose. I still wish Elaine had been brought back after they booted Dan, but at least she got a nice prize. :)

Onward to thinking about season 40!

At least it wasn't Naura.

I'm glad Jeff talked to Kellee although I felt sorry for her because she was so nervous. I think if he had asked her questions rather than letting her just kind of falter it would've been easier on her. And I'm SO glad they've admitted Dan should've been removed from the game after her complaint! They had it on camera so it wasn't a he said she said event. I feel bad that her Survivor experience was really ruined and I really hope they put her on again if she wants to do it.

I was really hoping Lauren would win the fire challenge so she could tell the jury how Noura threatened to hide all the machetes so she couldn't practice! What a nut job!

Another thing I've never understood - people who claim to be lifelong super fans and they don't practice swimming or fire making before they go! I'd make sure I was really good at both... and I'd keep the fire making skill a secret! Poor Janet! She thought she had it made with her idol. But, at least that Cya or whatever her name is gave her $100k! Nice job! And so happy that sweet little Elaine got money too!

Here's the recap.

https://ew.com/recap/survivor-season-39-episode-14/

Sia is amazing! She also just paid the bill for people shopping at a Walmart.

I’m kinda meh about this season, but glad that Noura didn’t win. I also never want to see or hear from Karishma again.

I’m still mad that Missy and Elizabeth exaggerated the Dan stuff and lied to Janet, but Jeff sure seemed to be on their side about that last night. I guess he wants to be seen as tough on sexual harassment. Didn’t Kellee decline to file a complaint against Dan at first?

I’m glad Elaine and Janet both got big prizes. I’m surprised at the discrepancy between theirs and Jamal’s, maybe it’s based on time in the game?

Anyway, it’s over. My favorites didn’t win the million but they got nice prizes.

Lovely that Sia gave the two older ladies $100,000. Jamal deserved some too. Naura was left with nothing. What a dingbat. When did Sia start this? Two years ago?

Glad that a dedicated teacher won. They are so under appreciated, salary wise. Hope he invests for his retirement, lol. Next season looks good! Both Amber and Rob. My prediction is Amber will be one of the first to go. I’m sure they will be on different teams, but no way will both of them make it to the merge

And a 2 million dollar prize, oh la la!!

Sia gave Tai $50k & his animal charity $50K in 2016.Introducing Sia

Everyone walks away with money plus (depending on how long they are on the island) a lovely South Seas vacation. I found several sources, this is just one. There's some variation, but this is about right:

"Dalton says the first person voted off the show, who is there just three
days, walks away with $3,500. Jury members, who vote on the ultimate
fate of the final three, pocket $40,000. The two runners up earn a hefty
$110,000 and the winner takes home $1,010,000."

So Noura gets 110,000??? Geez, I guess dingbattery pays off.

So are Amber and Rob's girls twins or triplets? They all look the same age, except one.

Lily, neither. They're 10, 9, 7, and 5.

Poor Lauren - Noura gets $110k and Lauren gets 4th place and $40k. : (

Rob & Amber's girls looked so cute at the finale. I wonder how long they both were away from them while filming the next season?

Well, I'm sorry my pick Elaine didn't win, but glad Noura didn't either. In my opinion, Dean should have won. Seems like most votes were based on the social aspect only. My daughter is the new family champion because she picked Tommy to win, grrrrr!

I can only strongly hope that Sandra is the first to go, then Boston Rob.

I'm so glad Elaine and Janet got money, that was awesome.

Too bad batsh!t crazy Noura got anything. Another good reason to not take someone like her to the end, they get rewarded way more than the jury.

Diane nj, totally agree, I hope I never see or hear Karishma again!
