That is how close we came to having a new worstSurvivorwinner in history.
Susie was one vote away from winning the million dollars!
Look, I actually like Susie.
(I knowewwwww.)
But it would have been a complete and utter disaster had she won.
And dont give me any garbage about her being worthy for winning the last house of cards challenge.
It was a freakin house of cards challenge!
(More on that later.)
But thankfully, she didnt.
And he did bow tie and all.
Okay, its late I mean, really late.
Stupid football overrun so lets get to it.
Gonna do something a bit different tonight and do quick-hit takes from the finale.
Its go time, people!
Liked…Bob doing a little smack-talking.
The physics teacher is dropping a little science on game boy!
Was frightened by…Bobs outfit and paint job at the first immunity challenge.
Dude, whats up with the short shorts?
This isnt an early-1980s NBA game.
Waaaaaay too much leg going on there.
Um, where Suzy usually is in last place, not even close.
(Oh, just you wait.
Shes great with cards!)
Im not strategically making moves.
AND THEY ALMOST HANDED THIS WOMAN A MILLION DOLLARS!!!
Loved, loved, loved…Bob serving up Kenny at tribal council.
Kenny tried to lamely defend himself.
It was awkward and painful to watch.
And kind of fun.
Impressed by…Kennys parting words after being voted out.
Like Crystal, he showed a lot of class during his exit.
I liked Kennys game a lot.
He just needed to cut down on the awesome-is-me chatter.
Which even he seemed to acknowledge at the reunion.
Almost feel asleep during…The Fallen Comrades.
Then again, I feel awkward approximately 90 percent of the time anyway, so whatever.
Greatly disappointed by…The final immunity challenge.
John Kirhoffer and theSurvivorchallenge department have put together some of the coolest things I have ever seen.
This was not one of them.
When I think lastSurvivorchallenge of the season, I am thinking one thing and one thing only: endurance.
This is it the final test to separate the worthy from the pretenders.
I want a battle of wills.
A test of mettle.
This house of cards challenge was simply smothered in weak sauce.
I guess producers figured watching stacks of tiles crashing to the ground would be dramatic.
Hands down the worst final challenge ever.
(Sorry, John.)
Felt sorry for…Matty during that fire-making tiebreaker.
Have said it before and Ill say it again…Hate the concept and practice of a final 3.
You simply cant match the drama of a head-to-head face off.
It should be A Vs. B, not pick a contestant, any contestant.
This has always really bugged me.
And it always will.
What the hell was up with that pec-revealing shirt?
Matty, Im all about the Muscles from Brussels, but that wasnota strong look, my friend.
Thats all it takes now.
Just try, and youre worthy.
Why dont we just give the money to Gillian or Michelle.
They tried!Everyonetried!
(Well, maybe not G.C., but everyone else.)
Was confused by…Sugar actively tryingnotto win the million dollars.
Her performance was not as awful as Amandas in bothChinaandMicronesia, because Sugar simply wasnt even trying.
At least give it a shot, woman!
NEXT: Kenny milks his final few minutes.
Chuckled to myself in a creepy way…When Charlie asked if Bob enjoyed their snuggling and spooning.
Lets hope Marcus didnt later fly off in a jealous rage!
The guy is a professional gamer and lied to people at several times himself.
Kenny, I expected you to rise above the fray there, my man.
If you get the money, will you agree to have your vocal chords removed?
Mean, sure, but in a relatively harmless way.
Okay, that wasnotfunny…Corinne to Sugar: You are an unemployed, uneducated leech on society.
Hey, I get it.
The woman shed tears on a minutely basis, but really?
Thats how you want to go out?
Mocking the dead daddy?
Man, that issoooooooooodeep.
Nice touch with the pacing, King of Smash.
Not super excited, but fine.
Kind of the way I feel about this entire season.
Hubba Hubba!Damn, Sugar looked good at the reunion.
I mean, like, glamorous old-school movie star good.
The woman cleans up nice.
Props to her for having a good sense of humor about it.
How do you pronounce that again?Survivor: Tocantins?
I need to work on that one.
Maybe a minute of cursing, but definitely more than that to get the tree up.
Secondly, big props to Jeff Probst supplying us with hisweekly blogs.
Weve also got my original pre-game interviews with the final 5 available for your viewing below.
Give them one last shot of love, wont you?
Finally, thanks to you, dear reader, for playing along.
Ive been writing these things for…well, for far too long.
Have a happy holiday and Ill see you in February for…how do you pronounce that again?
Okay, your turn: Did the right person win?
Did Corinne go too far?
And who looked best at the reunion show?
