The Kitchen Table

12/20 Survivor finale

4 months 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 would rather have seen Noura go after that very strange tribal council." Noura really seems certifiable. Even before tribal council, when she was trying to convince Dean (?) to split the vote, and she couldn't understand that all four of them (the ones who didn't get the loved ones reward) needed to cast their votes on the same person. They even showed her with leaves spread out on the beach, to represent everyone, trying to figure out the votes! But Dean started it all at tribal, when he leaned over to Tommy and told him that he was on the chopping block. Why did he do that? He seemed genuinely irritated that he didn't get picked for the reward. But, yeah, after the way Noura spouted off at tribal, I was really hoping that everyone would say to themselves, "ok, we can get rid of Karishma next week, but Noura's got to go now." I agree with Share_Oh that the group shouldn't be allowed to move around to talk amongst themselves so much. Whispering to the person next to you is one thing, but getting up and walking around shouldn't be allowed. They should have their strategy worked out before they walk in.

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!

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.

I don't know what Erika did that Xander didn't to win Survivor except that she went to Exile Island and broke an hourglass. Big whoop! They both won two challenges and survived being on the bottom, but Xander found an idol that caused him to lose his vote and he still survived. I think the rest of them may have had a personal dislike for Xander but I don't see why. And poor Xander, even at the final tribal he thought Ricard was looking out for him when he whispered "Play your idol." Ricard was irrationally upset with Xander for not playing his idol for him and assuring him a spot in the final three and therefore the million dollars. Ricard would have never played his idol for Xander. I hope Xander sees him in a true light now after watching the show.

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.
