5/20 Survivor Finale

25 days 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 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 was very happy with Tony winning. I would've liked it if Natalie had won as well. I was SO happy Sarah didn't make it to the final 3 so we didn't have to listen to her drone on and on. I liked her in the season she won but not so much this time around. I actually felt sorry for Michelle not getting a vote. She was the easy choice to take to final 3. Michelle seemed like she was making fire easily. I think the only thing Nat could've done differently was to pick Sarah and then make Michelle & Tony battle out the fire challenge. Boston Rob is crazy for saying Nat should've taken her chance beating Tony in a fire challenge - no way should anyone give up their guaranteed final 3 spot ever. There's no way he would have done that so I was disappointed he'd say it. Natalie did have a huge part in the game. When she re-capped all the advantages she sent back into the game, I was impressed. But I think Tony did play the better game and he's certainly entertaining to watch! The time he thought he had an advantage that turned into a disadvantage, his reaction as he was reading it was my favorite part of the entire season!

i didn 't want to say too much but i am surprised Gabler won. i really thought Cassidy would win, she battled back so many times, especialy in the beginning of the show. i thought for sure she would be voted out at least twice. Owen, no votes? what a selfless act to donate all the $$!! i want it to go back to just 2 finalists, the third person never gets any votes. i just don't think you need 3 finalists, make it more competitive!! if Jesse would have beat Gabler in fire, then i think he would have won, he was so close! great season as usual! has there been a bad season?????? Love Survivor!!!!

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.
