I definitely would have preferred Spencer to win but I am glad Kass didn't. I loved Woo's speech and think highly of him for living his life the way he does, I think he didn't want to risk Kass winning, and was willing to go against Tony and accept the results between the two of them. He was raised and lives in a very different culture, they honor their commitments, and live by different rules. I think Woo is a great guy, that was very evident in the episode with the children, and he knew his students were watching him on the show, I think that weighed heavily on how he played the game. He had me after his speech and I truly believe if Spencer had not gotten up and praised Tony so much that Woo would have had more votes. There were tears in several people's eyes after he spoke. Woo was not the dummy many thought him to be, he is well educated and can speak well when he needs to.

I was so pleased with this season's Survivor show, and very happy about the winner. When it was down to the last 4, I thought either one of them was deserving, in various ways. I think Steven's character did show at the time when he lost and was just glad he no longer had to worry about who to pick for the final two. He no longer had to pick it, but JT had that tough decision to make. The hard part of this game is near the end when you need to vote off people that you have really gotten to know and even depend on. It was almost like a Cinderella ending, with the "Happily ever after!" Now we can imagine the rest becoming a big sucess with a happy fulfilling family........

Sushi, there is no link to the recap. I find it amazing that after this many seasons of Survivor, certain things are still occurring. Showmances, big no no. Target on your back. Telling other people you have the idol. (And talk about stupid-not hiding the idol!) And lazy, bossy people. Natalie, the big older woman on the goliath team is a prime example. She is confrontational, lazy, and certainly not self-aware although she thinks she is. I couldn't believe her reaction when her team mate tried to give her some friendly advice. I was wishing the Goliaths would lose (for more reasons that just this) and get rid of her. But I agree, great tribal and great blindside. She had no clue it would be her.

Finally watched the 2nd half last night. I was glad to see the Godfather get blind sided... always like a good blindside! lol I think the remaining casts are a lot better physically matched now that the big guys are all out. Gabby bugs me - always crying over something stupid. Carl didn't talk to me wah wah wah. There's Christian comforting her and making sure she is ok. And the previews showing she wants to get him out? OMG! That made me so mad! What a traitor. I always like when a STRONG player wins - the ones who ride coattails and get to the end make me so mad. Gabby would be one of those. I hope her plan gets back to Christian and backfires on her!
