I am so glad that Judson/Fabio won. He played a GREAT game. He proved that he was good at mental, as well as physical, challenges. And he fooled everyone into thinking he was ineffectual...until the last few challenges...I would have been happy if Holly had won, but not those other two dudes. I just didn't like them...in the game only...in life, they both seem like decent guys...

I like that Rob and Amber are still together and they're raising kids and are a great family.

Rupert looked just like he always does. Does he ever change shirts?

NaOnka didn't learn a thing. She's still an idiot. Someone will end up punching her real hard some day. Even her mother distanced herself from NaOnka's actions.

Shannon is way worse than NaOnka. He'll be a lot harder to punch, but he's the biggest clown that's ever played Survivor. Good riddance, you homophobic jackwagon.

Anyone get some information on how the rest of the votes went? My guess:

Fabio: (Marty, Dan,) Benry, Kelly, Jane
Chase: (Alina, Brenda,) Holly, NaOnka

I guess it would be fitting that the two quitters cancelled each other's vote.

Very glad Jane won. Jeff said she was the hands down fan favorite and that no one else even came close. Now I don't feel so alone in liking her!
I do hope next season has more interesting people. This season was not my favorite.

When the three finalists go on their trek to pay tribute to all those who left the game before them, I liked the fact that purple Kelly and NaOnka had their names slashed out with a white X just like pirates might have done. It must have killed the entire production crew that these two were allowed to be on the jury.

Dan, what an ass he was at the last tribal.

He doesnt do shit out there and then had the nerve to be so unbelievably rude and nasty to the final 3. He acts like he is in the mafia and they disrespected his family.

Naoka's eyebrows looked horrible. I wish they would have said she 'teaches' at the YMCA. It was sad the way her mom distanced herself from her own child. I do think her mom didnt mean it to sound like she 'threw her under bus' cuz after JP pointed that out she seemed to get choked up.

Holly is just beautiful, wanted her for fan fav but Jane was my 2nd choice soooo YAH!

I also love that she won by the biggest margin ever! I never did understand the hatred towards her on this board

Kappy - I liked that too and I'm glad production has made new rules! I wish the new rule had been in effect this season.

Even Naonka Mom's seemed embarrassed by her shenanagians...

Good ending...

Random thoughts on the finale:
* Glad that Fabio and Jane were winners !!
* Happy for the rules change as I had a problem with the 2 quitters on the jury; sitting there like they were "legitimately " members of the jury. In my mind they should have been shipped home. In particular NaOnka just irked me sitting there looking all superior like she deserved to be there.
* Cannot remember Shannon which sounds as if it is a good thing !

I am glad Favio won, too. However, he was a bit confusing when speaking about his future endeavors..LOL

Pamy, I thought Nay taught at the Y, but I heard her say "principal" so maybe she does work at an actual school.

I was disappointed with the reunion show. I felt they spent too much time with folks that weren't on the show this season. I wish all the cast members had had equal time to speak. I would have preferred if Jeff had let Shannen answer instead of shutting him down. Jeff might not like Shannen but I would have liked to hear Shan answer the question and I didn't care for Shannen either but it seemed very rude to me on Jeff's part.

I loved that Fabio won, I would have really liked to hear more from Fabio's mother and family.

LOVED that Jane won fan fav woo hoo!!

Spear you bring up a good question. I wish Jeff had asked all the cast members who they voted for and why. Now that to me is very interesting and revealing and WHY I watch the reunion show so I can learn more about what they were all thinking.

I just watched the video of Holly's arrival at Ponderosa and only two people greeted her and spoke to her at dinner - Alina and Brenda. I must have missed something because besides Jane, I don't see why the rest would be so rude or hold a grudge - especially Kelly and Nay considering they chose to quit.

Personally I think that Fabio was an absolutely idiot at the finale. I don't know what the boy had ingested before the cameras started rolling but he looked and sounded like an absolute airhead. I noticed that Jeff cut away from him pretty quickly and didn't return to him

Dan just acted and looked stupid, along with his buddy Marty. Jill didn't get an opportunity to speak at all!

Holly looked stunning both at tribal council and at the finale. I never thought she was that attractive but she cleans up really well! Brenda, on the other hand, didn't look nearly as beautiful as she did in the jungle...dang that woman! She looks better with no makeup than she does all dolled up...LOL!

I have to disagree with you Roxip (and I had to do that), but I thought Brenda looked stunning at the Reunion show -- and I'm not a fan of hers.

Shen, I have a feeling Jeff had to stop Shannon because it was a live show and there was a chance he might have said something that could offend a large part of the population and they wouldn't have been able to edit it out. That's the feeling I got. I think it was more of a "Save us from the FCC" shut down.

As with most of the players, I disliked some things Jane said and greatly respected her gameplay at other times. She is a strong woman. I am happy for her for winning the money. I feel certain her $100,000 will benefit her life much more than Jud's $1,000,000 will his. On the Early Show this morning, he said he's going to have a lot of fun with it, arts and crafts every day, travel the world.... Unless he's just playing the dumb, goofy guy, he's going to end up in the not too distant future asking "Where did it all go?" He is the youngest winner ever.

eta: I was really happy that Jud won, no matter what he chooses to do with his winnings!

I'm happy with the outcome.

About a week ago a co worker was talking about Survivor and said that she read that Chase won. I believed her.

I thought for sure Fabio was not going to win the last immunity and when he did I thought cool at least now he's in the f 3 and probably should get 50K for his second place win.

When the last vote was read I was shocked! What a nice surprise.

Fabio was funny, the eye candy of the show and seemed to enjoy his time there.
I think he's a nice guy irl too.

I'm usually spoiler and was a bit pissed when the co worker just announced the winner or who she thought was the winner....she stated it as fact and I 100% believed her. LOL

So glad Sassh didn't get 1 vote!

I'm hoping that Fabio's mother will guide him on how to spend and invest the money.

On The Early Show, Jud/Fabio said Benry voted for him.

Last night, NaOnka said she teaches at "several schools." I'm guessing she is a substitute. I think her mother misspoke, being nervous, and then felt awful.

I'm also glad Jane won Player of the Season, but I'm wondering if they count the votes from all the Player of the Week votes, or just the last week of votes for that award?

Shannon's comment was the reason Jeff shut him down. He was wondering if Shannon regretted calling Sash 'gay'; and then Shannon, said "I met his girlfriend last night, it was good." I think he was inferring something nasty by that, and that's why Jeff shut him down, and it was right for Jeff to do so.

The second place winner, Chase, also gets $100,000.

and yeah, Fabio was not too impressive either at the win or this morning on the Early Show. What happened to the thoughtful Fabio??

I wouldn't be surprised to hear that he's been a bit stoned for the past 24 hours, Karin. I'd be disappointed, but not surprised. He certainly acted like it.

I had to go to the Castaways thread and read Shannon's bio to even know who he was! And I still don't remember him from the show!

Reading what others say on the season is great and I appreciate all the great insights. I, too, agree that they talked to others who had nothing to do with the show -- although, didn't they have something to do with CBS? It may have been a promo within the program for the network.

I really liked the Fabio win. All around great ending.

On the reunion show, I found the sound to be annoying - I think the network may be trying to save money on production and, if they tried to save it on the sound, I think it was misguided. That is one of the hallmarks of watching something like this on CBS, they really do it right - most of the time. But I am so satisfied with the season and now have to wait eagerly for the start of S22. Can't wait!
