Even my 90 year old mom commented that her lips looked overdone! LOL. But IMHO, she sure cleaned up real good.

I had a hard time figuring out which one was which at the finale too! They were both so done up! In fact, the only way I figured out which one was Danni was by everyone's comments about her lips. I just looked for the one with the bigger lips! I didn't think her lips were all that bad, though they were noticeably filled out! Of course, the most distracting full lips thing (IMHO) for me is actress Lisa Rinna. Nobody else looks quite as bad to me when I compare it to hers!

ROFL so true Who..so TRUE! I cannot look at Lisa Rinna w/o cringing over her lips. Angelina Jolie's lips bug me too, although my DD who think she rocks always sticks up for her and tries to make me believe they're real...uh uh huh... not gonna believe that ever! LOL So many celebs have this done now that you'd think they would figure out a nice balance so it's not so obvious. I always thought the trick was to look good w/o giving away that it was FAKE!!!!!! GAH!!!! LOL

Angelina Jolie's don't bother me as much. Maybe because she's younger and prettier. But Lisa Rinna's always remind me of some sort of pouch you overfill with water, where there are weak spots in the membrane of the pouch, so those spots pooch out more than other spots. Seems like her lips always have spots that are sort of sagging down from all the weight, and are about to spring a leak! LOL!

Hmm the odd lip actions.. it seems (per our 11pm news) that Danni "the 30 year old sports radio host from KC is a former Star Search and Miss USA contestant" so she's done that vaseline on the lips and keeping the teeth moist thing before (and yes, her lips looked MUCH fuller to me. Her actions were distracting but she looked great.

Just says she is a marathon runner.. What is next for the new millionaire? "Bless my family financially and then possibly adopt a child next summer, I want to look into that, look into the whole process, cuz I want to be a mom, so Anyway.. I don't think Steph could have won, but I'm glad she was in F2. I wondered about that setup since they didn't have custom measurements that I could see and they drew for position. Danni was so much taller, Rafe too, than Steph and you could see that before they let go of one rope.. Steph had only 4 or so inches of play while Danni had much more. And Danni had more leg to keep her at a better angle against the tree, too. Not that past final challenges have been any different.. I know in one case it was better to be shorter.. this time it was taller. I did t

Does anyone know the final vote tally? Was it 6-1? 5-2? 4-3?

I imagine it was 6-1; otherwise JP would have stretched the tally out longer.

I was very put off by Danni, Steph and Lydia eating the chicken. Right in the middle of the ceremony Steph made Lydia ask the men if they could eat the chicken. What a show of disrespect for the Mayan religious ceremony. Since they got the answer "no" that should have ended it. Even at tribal council they were laughing about what they had done. How much food does Stephanie have to have before she is no longer starving?

That chicken thing was what sealed it for me that Rafe should win. On other Survivors, the contestants were part of rituals and culteral displays, and did't do something like they did after that chicken sacrifice. It seemed that Rafe would do what was necessary to win, but there were lines he wouldn't cross--unlike the others.

Good god. It was a cooked chicken, nothing more. The Mayans didn't want to eat it, fine. It is their juju not the survivors. Do you think a Eucharist cracker is really the body of Christ? They are very good in Chex Mix if you aren't sucked in by "it will bleed in your mouth if you bite it" lore. Religion and ritual are for those who believe it, and not for those who do not.

I think Rafe just overplayed things. he really thought that Danni would take him to final two and he could guarantee himself Stephanie's vote by making the grand gesture. I also think that he threw the final immunity, I don't believe for a minute that he lost focus, he was the most focused player for the entire 39 days. He believed that Stephenie would take him to final two and he also knew he had a deal with Danni for final two, so let the two women fight it out. Rafe's offer to Dannie was one of the biggest bonehead moves in reality t.v., right up there with Marcellas and the veto. I kind of enjoyed watching him being hoisted by his own petard.

Fruit, while in part I agree with you... it is just chicken, they were there to take part in and honor the rituals of the tribe. For them to eat the chicken after the tribesman told them no would be like someone peeing on my Christmas tree. Yes it is just a symbolic representation of Christmas but it is my ritual and if you don't want to honor it don't, but don't desecrate it.

Fruit, I think it's a respect thing. Especially in Stephenie's case, she that woman ate like a horse the last few weeks. But when you observe or participate in another's ceremonies, you should be respectful of them. It would be akin to me attending a Catholic Church, and then walking up and talking the cracker and glass of wine after communion. I don't believe in the Eucharist, but I'll respect anyone else's beliefs. As I would hope they'd respect mine.

Odd analogy, Terolyn. Would you mind if someone used your christmas tree for something when you were finished with it and it was out on the curb? That is is more like what happened with the chicken. The Mayans did their ritual and walked away. They were done with the chicken. Animals would have eaten it, surely. It was not going to remain untouched forever. I agree Maris. Rafe just looked foolish. Stupid move. He is still very young. I like Danni even less now that she has a new and hideous mouth affect. She did it all through her interview on CBS this morning, too. She was very nervous and her big spastic smile looked like a grimace between her licking her teeth with her lips closed. The finale and interview was very odd when it came to Danni.

Terolyn and Costa, you both responded much better than I could have. During the TC where it was learned that the women ate the chicken, Jeff said "We'll be talking about that later." I wonder if they did. I believe it was completely disrespectful. It might have been a different matter if the man had not specifically told them the chicken was not for eating. And to add insult to injury the women couldn't quit laughing about it at TC. I will give kudos to Rafe for not partaking.

Animals would have eaten it, surely. That was probably what was meant to happen. Again, the point is they were told they could not eat it.

I missed part of the show last night...dang. I agree with those who say it was disrespectful. When you are a guest you behave with dignity and decorum...sounds like they were sadly lacking in both. And it also points up to an overinflated ego in the perpetrators, to my way of thinking. They were above respecting and observing the Maya traditions? Totally uncouth. Soooooooooooooooooooooooooo glad Danni won...YES!!!!!! And it was a treat to see Brandon last night. Some people are raised with manners, while others....

Actually Fruit, if part of my ritual was to leave my tree out in the yard for God/nature to consume it and I specifically told someone that they could not take me tree, then yes I would mind. If in fact I told someone, once I put my tree on the curb you can have it then no, I would not mind. In this case they were told not to eat it. It was not for them to decide what to do with it.

It was a chicken. They were hungry. Those Mayans only made the trek to the site because Mark Burnett paid them to. They weren't just passing by. If you ask me, those Mayans were asking for it, holding some half-baked ceremony involving cooked chicken in front of people who are starving. Besides, have you seen the Mayan Gods? They could stand to lose a little weight.

I liked Rafe and wanted him to win, but after he released Danni from the promise I didn't really care who won (though I wanted Steph over Danni.) Rafe's very passive-aggressive and it blew up in his face. As someone who hates passive-aggressive behavior (especially when I realize it has come from me!), I applauded that. He released her from the promise, but from his comments it was obvious that her not going with him made him very mad! Definitely on the level of a Marcellus move, Maris. Now he is going to have to go through life talking about how it was the right thing because it was the noble thing...being able to act annoyed because she betrayed him (because I think she would have taken Steph either way) would have been way more fun. Steph cracked me up saying that she thought the last competition would be mental and that was why she decided to get rid of Lydia in the end. When has the last competition ever been anything besides endurance and when did Lydia show herself to be that much of a mental threat? Not that I think she is stupid, but just not necessarily a better mental competitor than Dani. And the Judd thing about his wife....since Steph and Judd had spent that much time together and were "friends," isn't it worse that she would lie to him than his wife? I think maybe Steph was telling the truth when she said that she didn't lie to his wife at the time. But she did take a convenient excuse...and I am not sure that she was wrong there. Judd was not going to go to the end with Steph. Though it makes me think...could Judd have won against anyone? I don't think so.
