We all saw this coming but for a while, it looked like it
might now happen. Against all odds Natalie
went from being the first voted out to making it all the way to the final 3 and
actually placing second in an epic season.
It’s too bad. How awesome would
have been for a player who won her season after her twin sister was the first
voted out and then end up an all winners season after being voted out
first? Unfortunately she came up a
little bit short. I’m disappointed and would
have preferred to see Michele win instead of Tony but I will say out of the (second)
final 6 this was my top choice for a final 3.
I damn sure didn’t want to see Ben, Denise or Sarah win again. So congrats to the entire final 3. Natalie did an amazing job on Edge and post Edge. Michele played a fantastic game and hopefully
silenced all the morons who said she didn’t deserve to win her season. During her first season I was surprised she
won but not because I didn’t want her to but because she had the least winner
like edit in Survivor history. I hate
Tai and Aubrey and was happy to see her beat them. Out of all the players this season she’s the
only one who’s never had her torch snuffed so I don’t think there’s anyone who
can ever again say she’s not a great player.
In contrast to Michele’s season, this season had one of the
most obvious winner edits of all time. I
hated Tony the first time he played but he seems to have changed since winning the
million dollars and isn’t nearly the slime ball he was pre-Cagayan. So good for
Tony. He played a good game but he did
have a bit of luck along the way. I
think Danni really fucked things enough for the old schoolers and this season
could have been so much better if she could have just held it together a little
longer.
Also, let’s go back to Sandra
vote out. If Sandra doesn’t make one of
the dumbest moves in Survivor history Tony has a more that 50% chance of
getting voted out that episode. Everyone
had and advantage to keep them safe that vote except for Tony. If Sandra hadn’t been so stupid she would have
used her idol for herself, Denise was obviously playing hers no matter what and
if those two use their idols there’s a good chance that Kim uses hers. That just leaves Jeremy and Tony, assuming
Jeremy doesn’t use his advantage to leave before the vote. So there’s another reason for me to be even
more frustrated with Sandra.
And what about Ben? I’m
glad he did what he did because I really wanted Michele in the final 3 over him
but he’s an idiot and I think congratulations are in order for Tyson for no
longer being the dumbest winner of all time.
Overall, I loved the finale up until the moment Tony won but
it could have been a lot worse. All hail
the king of Survivor who owes a lot to the former queen for being so
stupid.
