The Kitchen Table

5/20 Survivor Finale

4 months ago

Tonight's the night! There are 5 left: Aubry. Tiffany, Rizo, Jonathan and Joe. I can make a case for anyone winning except Joe. Yes, everyone likes Joe, but he has done nothing worthy of the title of Sole Survivor, except a couple of immunity wins. No strategy, no leadership. Of course, who sits in the final 3 all depends on who wins immunity. We know that Rizo's idol will send him to the final 4, which is where he lost last time, making fire. There's some thought that Tiffany will go first, barring an immunity win, because she was out on the Cirie vote last week.

The finale will be live, but Jeff has said in interviews that it won't be the same old format, with reunion interviews scattered through the show. And you may have to stay up late to get the result of the Sia Award for Fan Favorite, which might come late in the 3 hour show.

So get a nap in today so you'll stay awake tonight!

By the way, why was Jonathan’s brother dressed like Mario? Weird.

Just not Rizo. He irritates me. Every time I say someone is my favorite, they lose, so Im not saying a thing.

I wasn't surprised at who went last night, and for all that person's traits and habits, I thought the final comments were pretty classy. (I'm TRYING to be cryptic here!) And at the reward with the native tribe, again- a classy speech that seemed to be really appreciated. I just wish they'd give these people some clothes that don't look like absolute crap after a week or so.... and the camera men with the night vision lenses- hello! A little decorum and privacy would also be a nice change!

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.

If Lindsay was in the final three, I think she would've--and should've--won. I think there was something about Jonathan that the others didn't like. Maybe his brand of Christianity is one where the man is the head of the household and that came off in his interactions with the women. I haven't done any outside reading so I don't know if he's evangelical or Southern Baptist or something else. I remember in the first or second episode when Omar was setting up his prayer rug and he offered to answer any questions they may have about Islam and Jonathan immediately chimed in with "And I'll answer your questions about Christianity." I thought that was dismissive of Omar and a bit arrogant. Omar only offered because his religion isn't as well known as Christianity. He wasn't trying to convert anyone.

I only like Tiff. 100% agree about Joe. He only stood out in his first season by supporting the girl with autism.

At least Cirie won the Fan Favorite.

I wonder if they shoot the whole season, know who's going to win, and then edit the segments to fool us all.

Never would have thought Aubry would win. I figured she was riding on others coattails and would be voted out when they didnt need her anymore. I love that she practiced the rolling ball thing. That sure paid off.

I was rooting for Jonathan, but as long as it wasnt Rizo, Im okay with it.

Im glad Cirie was recognized.

I too was rooting for Jonathan and then Joe. I loved the firemaking and watching cocky Rizo fail. He was too big for his britches. Glad Cirie got her prize. I hope some of them come back again(not Rizo) and next season already finished looks good. These people had to wait ONE year to find out the winner. I like it when they reveal in the jungle, and hope it goes back to that.

I have to say that the LIVE finale mistakes were funny. Except for losing audio. I was shocked that Aubry came out on top but she did play the middle and it seems they liked her.

I will say that as someone who has never missed a season - Did not like this format. It made the game more random and less strategic. The luck of the draw is fun but I think they may have took it too far. Imagine being on Survivor and having to vote yourself off? It borders on stupid to me. But I’m just a fan so what do I know? We threw 2 votes to Cirie in his house since she will never be taken to the final 3. Glad she won it. It is still fun and entertaining all these years later.

Nice quote from Joe, he says he's never had his torch snuffed, and he feels like he has won. Everyone should have his attitude. I also heard that Jonathan was a sore loser.
