Survivor 43 Finale is tonight

last year

Three hours of Survivor. If you're recording it, remember that the winner is usually announced well into the third hour, which used to be a 'reunion' show, but the last few seasons, they've been reading the votes on the island, right after voting.

The 5 people still standing are Karla, Cassidy, Jesse, Gabler and Owen. I thought Cody was going to win before that amazing blindside last week. My vote goes to Jesse right now, unless the others deem him too big a threat. After last season, when MaryAnne wowed the jury during final TC, I no longer count anyone out!

i didn 't want to say too much but i am surprised Gabler won. i really thought Cassidy would win, she battled back so many times, especialy in the beginning of the show. i thought for sure she would be voted out at least twice. Owen, no votes?

what a selfless act to donate all the $$!!

i want it to go back to just 2 finalists, the third person never gets any votes. i just don't think you need 3 finalists, make it more competitive!!

if Jesse would have beat Gabler in fire, then i think he would have won, he was so close!

great season as usual!

has there been a bad season?????? Love Survivor!!!!

I couldn't understand why the underdogs never tried to split up Cody and Jesse. They were too focused on other pairs like Karla and Cassidy I guess. Or maybe Jesse was not viewed as a player who could win it all by the others. He hasn't won any challenges or found any idols.

I thought they announced the winner at the end of the second hour or beginning of the third. I didn't stay up to see the previews of next season last time so I'm not sure what they do in the third hour now that they don't have a live audience.

There's been a lot of time creep into the third hour. at least 15 minutes, I think. The rest of the time, they bring in champagne and pizza and talk with the jury. No big studio audiences any more.

Now, it all depends on who wins immunity. Jesse has one idol that can only be used in first TC tonight.

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!

"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 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.

I also hope if they ever repeat Edge that they give them some challenges against one another and whittle it down to a smaller number before letting them vie to get back on the tribe. And show us more of them, it was like blank time, we hardly ever saw the thrown-outs and it made the winner seem less deserving. Although he was much more deserving than the two he sat at final tribal with. The girls had the perfect opportunity to vote Gavin out a few weeks ago, I couldn't figure out why they didn't take it. So sorry Devens didn't make it to the final, I do hope we see him again and I agree, it should be a season with all returnees, they really don't have a fair chance when it's just a couple.

I didnt realize it is the finale. one thing i liked about the finale befora a live audience was how different everyone looked, all cleaned up and dressed nicely.

Not sure who Im rooting for. i cant warm up to Cassidy. Ill say Owen, but i am often surprised.

I think they’ll keep Gabler as well, thinking he’ll loose…but I think there’s a possibility he’ll win, imo. I don’t think they show enough of the social interactions. Jesse has played a pretty good game, I think. He could win as well because of that…🤔

i am def. surprised!! do u think the producers knew about Gabler's plan?

He mentioned his intentions several times during the show, so i guess the producers knew. I always felt he was a darkhorse. Nice to see someone older win, although i found him irritating at times.

I wanted a woman to win and Cass was fierce and won three immunities. I liked Owen too but Gabler was a dark horse and was apparently liked more than I thought. But he seems kind and the money will be used for good .

I guess they want it to be unpredictable, so don’t really show too much of the social interactions…? I was surprised when Owen said he was “ sitting at the table with my dear friend Cassidy”… I had no idea Cassidy was his dear friend.

I also wanted a woman to win...and Cass was a GREAT competitior. So....I'm disappointed. Then Gabler said he'd donate the money to VA help....now THAT was a GREAT moment! It was a really good season.
