Jezzedout, I've been wanting to say that I've totally enjoyed all the analysis and dissecting you've brought to this season! Even bringing in the Bloomberg's articles, great fun. Everyone else, I haven't been commenting much because I've reading & reading - mostly been Agreeing & Disagreeing (arguing with myself). So many points of thought and everyone has some great perceptions. I don't think I've EVER seen such dialog, after the fact, for any season. Must say that my absolute favorite seasons were with Yul and Earl/Yao-man. In both cases they worked the strategies so well, while the Jury didn't feel disrespected. Russell's ego & arrogance made darn sure the Jury (already hugely embarrassed at losing the 8-4 lead) wasn't going to vote for him. As my Sis said (and ITA), Russell's biggest mistake was taking to the end with him the very person he perceived as being a "dumb blond" - the person whom had been bonding with all the folks on the Jury for a long time. If Russell wishes to declare himself the 'Master of the Game', he probably should have watched more than one season to see how the game is really played.

Hey Biscotti, thanks for the shout out! Honestly, I'm normally more of a lurker (haven't done much serious posting since the early days of Big Brother), but it was so quiet here this season that I started posting for the first time in a while. Of course, the fact that I'm recently unemployed provides a little more time for such indulgences... LOL! But seriously, it was so quiet for just a few minutes last week I thought Pamy, Ginger, you and I were the only ones still watching this season!! Then all of a sudden... all hell would broke loose!! LOL!! Who could have predicted there would still be so much discussion a full four days after the finale? I really am glad to see it. I'm such a HUGE fan of Survivor, the show and the game, and I've gotten a little carried away lately analyzing the various strategies, looking at statistics from past seasons, etc. Clearly I'm not the only one who really got into this season, and more importantly, I'm not the only one who will be chomping at the bit for the start of S20...yeah baby!!

If he had taken Shambo, he would most definitely have won

I'm enjoying all the discussion and analysis as well. Thanks for the articles too! I can't wait for the next Survivor. Does anyone know if there is a firm cast list? I don't want to be spoiled in any way about boot order, etc. so I can't go to the spoiler thread. But would love to know a cast list.

And I do hope we'll can get some of the LA folks together for a Survivor viewing party sometime during S20. I wonder how many of us there are in the LA area? Hey Ginger... do you want to start a thread for organizing some S20 get togethers in the LA area? The new season is starting in less than 8 weeks...woo hoo!!

I don't know how many TVCH folks there are in the LA area, but there are TONS in CA! We had a BIG turn-out at the gathering in Long Beach - obviously not all locals as I flew in from TN!!

Hey Lexie, I was just shouting out to Ginger because she seems to have a good handle on setting up threads and the proper place to put new subjects.

Forgive me if this has already been asked and answered: Is there a video of the final voting? I've looked and looked at cbs.com but cannot find one. I would really like to know who each person voted for and what they said as they cast their vote.

Hey Happy, No video of final voting. TPTB seem to be holding out on us this season. They aren't giving us final voting video, and they aren't giving us the F3 arriving at Ponderosa. Makes me wonder if Russell just comes off so badly that they don't want to damage his image too much (or too much more) before S20. I can picture him just going off on everyone at Ponderosa. And since only 2 people voted for him, makes me think there might have been some harsh voting comments for Russell. Maybe not, but I can't think of any other reason TPTB would hold out on us.

I don't think the final three go to Ponderosa. None of them has been officially voted off until the finale show.

Aurora, you beat me to it about posting that the final three do not go to Ponderosa. However, as I stated above, I have never seen the jury's comments about who they are voting for and why at the final TC in any season.

I sure don't think they let the jury mingle with those they are voting for, ever. Jezzedout.. it has been awhile, but we've had a few Long Beach meets.. huge, large, medium and small .. And we have a good number of OC and LA county people, not to mention Riverside co, San Diego, etc.. Oddly enough the only viewing party I've been to "locally" was when CBS came to film some of us watching BB in Simi Valley (then after all that trouble.. including a newly pregnant Spygirl flying in, they never even aired our segment or let us see what they got. But it was fun).. but I've watched Survivor, TAR, BB at different times with groups of TVCHers in Connecticut, and in Vegas.. also have phoned TVCHers from Downtown Disney and Vegas to get results. Not sure they even have voting comments, since they get to make their comments out in the open, to the final three, in front of Jeff, the rest of the jury and the camera..

Oh Sea, I remember that when y'all had that viewing party for BB. That was very disappointing that they didn't show it on TV.

Jezzed, we have had TVCH meets and TNT is right, ppl come from all over! They are always great fun! We havent had one in a couple years so I am hoping we can all meet up during next season. I wonder if there is a site that would talk about viewing parties that may include cast or previous cast members. Something like a sportsbar. There are tons of trendy places in LA that I know they hang at but not really for viewing the show
