I agree I thought I was at the Lisa show I was waiting for her to start issuing blessings to the crowd! Way too much time on her. I was surprised she won the sprint money. I did think it was funny when abi asked Jeff "did you watch the show" lol I think she had a reality check. I almost didn't recognize Penner wow he cleaned up nicely. I too think all votes should be shown and show who voted for who like the other tribals. I am happy Denise won, I was a little sad for Skupin, he really pulled it out and played a good game once he got past all the injuries and bleeding lol. All in all it was a good entertaining season. Will be interesting to see who returns next season, I predict Malcolm will return at some point since Jeff so pointedly, asked him. I still think Jeff the ball player is a jerk. Sounded like his closing comments may have come back to haunt him by the comment he made, would serve him right. I wish Jeff's wife had come out and byotch slapped that Dawson girl when she went running to Jeff for that kiss. I was happy Jeff said his wife's were much better!

My only hope for redemption of this season is if one of the players from the Edge gets back into the game and wins it, which I sincerely hope happens. Aside from Rick, all of the remaining players are followers and not doers. There have been a few sparks from some of the players, but the play has been boring and predictable. What the heck did Aurora give her extra vote to Ron for anyway? That was the stupidest move. If the Edge didn't exist, it would be so predictable that the girls would pick off the guys and we would be left with these women who have no spark or gumption. Aurora is a challenge beast, I will give her that. Just a disappointing season to me.

This season the episodes were 90 minutes long, because production anticipated the writers/actors strikes and knew that there would be time to fill. The season airing now was not supposed to be shown this season - they flip-flopped it with what will be next season (that was supposed to be this season). Next season Survivor will start with two, two-hour episodes, and then the remaining episodes will be 90 minutes each.

Oh, wow. Too bad. It will be interesting to see how things go from here.
