The Kitchen Table

12/20 Survivor finale

2 years ago

It's been a fun season. From hating on the quitters to some pretty good game play, it's been a better than average season, I think. I can see any of the remaining players winning, given circumstances and a somewhat bitter jury. Who do you like?

Dee has been a real player, calling the action. So has Julie. Jake has an idol to play tonight, and may benefit from the bitter jury rejecting others. Katurah has a great backstory, but hasn't done a lot. But she's smart. Austin, poor Austin, saw his game sorta slip away, no longer in control. All depends on who wins challenges and who can build fire.

I forgot how much I like Tony till last night! LOL The extortion note was fantastic! Happy with who left as well. I wonder which 2 people got their token back - he won 2 but he borrowed 3 right? It's so much more interesting when someone switches sides... but if they would really stick together, they could just wipe the others out. It rarely happens though. But it makes for boring TV so I'm glad you get someone like Tony who seemingly out of the blue just comes up with a new plan - and then it works!

Future shows need to say no whispering at tribals - I hate it! I'd rather have Jeff be able to ask his questions - you can learn a lot about what people are thinking. The whispering is annoying to watch. Wasn't a Kim fan anyhow, so fine with her being gone. Thought it was rather funny that those who dropped to have food barely had a few minutes to eat any of it as the challenge ended. Never a good idea to drop out of a challenge on purpose - makes you look overly confident. Those cookies and pb looked really good tho! lol Still enjoying watching Tony. He's very entertaining. Sarah is getting on my nerves - she is acting like everybody should be working to keep HER in the game or she's going to be soooo mad and upset. Well duh. This is not a team win, only one of you is going to get the $2 million and if they are smart, they need to get her out sooner than later.

I just read the recap...and I also had the same thoughts.....but.....I don't think Erika is winning immunity challenges, finding idols....liked as much as Xander and Ricard. Erika might win..... After watching one of the Ponderosas, I don't remember which season.....it came to light that the tribe discussed who they were voting for long before they asked any questions at the last tribal....that people at Ponderosa could influence each other based on conversations that never aired.

Sue is one amazing woman. I know she's had work but her body is so muscular and at 59, she was a threat in challenges. I'm glad so many women were at the end. Sam was the entitled male and I was sad Teeny lost the fire challenge. Absolutely there should be barriers for both players so the wind doesn't decide the outcome. I didn't know Rachel was a standby in the last season. I didn't even know of such a thing. Loyalty is very important and it played out in this season. Rachel deserved to win and it should have been unanimous. You don't vote for friendship like Kyle did.

Julie is an attorney! I didn't see that. I'm happy with who won. I wonder if the showmance has staying power...after the show. A new show, 46, starts February 28.

Hurray for Dee. She was rock solid the entire time. I did not watch until the bitter end. Did they ring out the early contestants, like the quitter?

Happy for Dee. I wonder if Dee and Austin will last.

In a way I was rooting for Jake. He was on his own most of the way.

Jake did what he had to do, and I think he was happy. He knew he didn't have the resume to win, but making fire was what he needed to do. And he did a great job of it, too. Austin's face when Dee told him that yes, she did tell Julie, that was priceless. He lost the million again right there, and Dee triumphed.

I was for Dee and Julie for weeks and always thought Jake was the one to go. But after his mistakes and his perseverance, I am happy at the final three and glad Dee won and Austin was second. I wonder if they are still a couple. I always wanted Julie too and surprise, she is a lawyer too...

Austin and Dee are either not together or pretending not to be.

Really, for the number of times she betrayed him for Julie and then used it to knock him down at the finale, she should start a romance with Julie.

What was up with Kaleb yelling "Jake!" when he went in to vote? I thought he was announcing that he was voting for Jake but then he voted for Dee. That wasn't cool.
