Glad Rob won. This season was the Rob show all the way (what little I saw of it) He really deserved it!

But they could have voted Rob out early because they knew about him.

It's not Robs fault that they kept him in the game.

Just as the other tribe got rid of Russell. so to could Robs tribe, but they chose not to.

Did they ever show Phil's son tonight? Was he in the audience? My heart goes out to that kid - I'm sure he loves his dad, but really, oy!

it was fun to see some emotion from Rob when he won the final immunity. that struck me as really heartfelt. he's normally so controlled, it was nice to see him let it out for just a moment.

you're speaking of Rupert Bonham or something like that.

Right, Rupert.

I'm very happy with the Rob win. As far as Natalie goes, she is the youngest player in Survivor history, it's a brutal game to play, she outlasted 15 people, she allied with an incredibly strong player and she survived the conditions without a whimper or complaint. So I think she did pretty good considering.

Rob had the very clear advantage (which brand new, never-having-played-before folks definitely don't have) of being idolized.

Yep! he couldnt win agianst his peers in allstars etc .... lol

I was SO sorry to hear the Redemption Island theme will be back. Didn't the producers learn anything this time? The two brought back from Redemption Island were both immediately voted out. Seems like it was barely worth it.

Yay Pamy for having faith in Phillip and winning $100 for it!!!

I was so hoping Phillip could pull a rabbit out of a hat at the end and come up with something brilliant about how HE played the greatest Survivor ever into bringing him to final three, when he didn't have a chance in hell of getting there otherwise, and therefore, he, Phil, deserved to win because he not only outwitted all of them, but he also outwitted Rob. I was hoping against hope he was a chameleon, but he was, alas, just a toad. Oh well, it was worth it to have kissed him just for the chance to hope he might have been faking. Alas, he was not faking, lol.

LOL Nerovh re: vacation bible school!
I was surprised that Jesus cut his hair!

The bitter jury doesn't surprise me, but Julie's below the belt hit on Natalie about how her mom wouldn't be proud of her was just so nasty. Shame on her! And I thought Steve's words to Philip made him look petty, and childish. sometimes it's the right time to be the bigger man.

I really wanted a Rob win and when he won final immunity is when I jumped off the couch and cheered. His raw emotion was good to see. After booting Ashley there was little suspense as to who'd win. I was waiting for Philips master plan to be revealed, but he didn't try to win over the jury at all!

I'm really glad Rob won fan fave. He certainly outplayed and outwitted this season.

I actually felt bad for Russel. He's still so hurt and bitter than his team would purposely lose to get rid of him. He doesn't get why. But I agree that the question to ask is if the Zaps think they lost momentum and it was a bonehead move to make. I don't think they'd ever admit it was.

I wonder if the 2 returning people will be female. Have they already filmed it? Or are they filming over summer?

I am so happy Rob won - I cried when he cried after winning the final immunity challenge. He's a tough cookie, with a soft, gooey heart at his core. I loved how he described Phillip during the live broadcast. He reads people well because he also has empathy for them - yet at the same time he's got a job to do ... and he does it/did it well.

He deserved both wins.

really surprised by grant's grudge against rob, especially considering grant was an enthusiastic participant in, what, like six blindsides?

I also think Matt would have gotten more votes if he hadn't continually brought god/jesus into every conversation. Boring and offensive.
Ahem---not everyone is a christian.

I wasn't offended by Matt. He seems like a great person.

Yikes, bitter jury much? I think Julie should have apologized at the show...It's one thing to call the final 3 names all you want, but to bring their families into it and talk about how Natalie's parents and Phillip's son should not respect them?

I'm very glad she got the boot!

surprisingly good finale.
rob's win was quite satisfying.

agree with all who would rather do away with redemption island. i think the way redemption works it makes each player's exit less dramatic since they aren't really leaving the game, just shuffling to a different section of it.

i really liked exile island and wish they'd bring that back. but i think i'm in a minority there.

two returning players next season... wonder they will be? i'm a bit worried we're in for another season of philip. don't know if i can handle that.

that said, i'm thrilled probst has re-upped his contract and we're guaranteed at least two more seasons of my fav show. woohoo!!!
