I am thrilled that Bob won. He played the perfect game, a mixture of under the radar and kick ass at the challenges. Played the nice guy which I doubt was a stretch for him. Never did much to make anyone angry until the Kenny thing. Believed the right people at the right time. As he said, he never really had to make the strategic moves, as the ones his alliances made always kept him safe. And yes, Suger saved him 2 ore 3 times. But isn't that also part of playing the game? Getting the other people to keep you. I think one of the reasons Sugar liked him was because he was nice to her, and never treated her like she was dumb. All the rest did. It is a shame that Sugar did not get some votes. But I think she realized by the time the game was over that there were too many people who were too bitter to vote for her. She was pretty good most of the time at reading people's characters. And I think she was sincere in her feelings for Matty and Bob. I also think since she knew, remember she said so at the last TC, she could not beat either Bob or Matty, her solution was brilliant. As she said, let fate decide. I think she felt that although she loved them both, Bob was just as deserving if not more so than Matty. I also think that the last three voted out were pretty bitter against Bob and Sugar since they held them responsible. The ironic thing is that if Kenny had played it straight with Bob and not tried to backstab him, they would have voted out Matty that night. Anything could have changed after that.

I've never heard such a bitter jury. I actually tuned to the NBC football game a few times because I was soooo uncomfortable. It's like they don't understand the concept of the game. There is only one winner.

I just wish Matty or Kenny had won. But Kenny's hair last night was a nightmare. What is he thinking? Also, that band they had was so blah and didn't deserve time on national TV. Susie looked way different with glasses and makeup.

I thought I read during a few of the exit interviews that Sugar was getting a very good edit and was not as nice as she was being portrayed.

You did, Rvon. And people forget that this is a social game as well. Sugar did not play the social game well at all. And I sincerely think she got a fan favorite edit. No one said anything nice about her last night, that can't all be bitterness. Even Matty said that she was not as innocent as she was perceived.

After the way that jury acted, though, I'm not sure I'd believe any of their character assesments on anyone. That was the bitterest bunch of people I have ever seen in my life. Corinne seems like a truly mean and nasty individual, and Charlie, Marcus, and Randy are her friends. That alone makes me not trust much about their opinions.

I think Sugar could have played better and didn't think she did enough to win the game but I thought she should have won the 100K from the viewers....oh well. Corrine truly comes across as a socially inept person and I don't see much good coming her way in life. Hopefully Sugar gets something more out of being on Survivor. She seemed like a cool chick. Kenny, imo was clueless and probably shouldn't have made it as far as he did. Even last night he didn't seem to grasp the game. I ended up liking Susi. I don't think they showed her talking incessantly like has been reported. Bob deserved every penny he won. He' up there with my faves like Ruppert and the firefighter guy. Regis asked him what he's planning with the $$ an he said taking his wife on a honeymoon since they never had one and he wants to go back to Gabon...good for them. This season was just mediocre for me. Hope next season will be better. I leave this season behind with one thought Corrine is came across as a nasty person and I feel very sorry for her and the people in her life.

The thing with Corinne, I think just one too many people must have told her during her life "I admire how direct/honest you are", or something like that. I bet they were people who are afraid of her and didn't want to be her target. IMO, people can be direct and honest without being cruel. I see that so much in this world today. I will NEVER understand what is admirable about being cruelly honest and direct. Never. I don't wish anything horrible on Corinne, but I do think she deserves a little bit of a hard time for how she acted.

Oh, I believe that Sugar was given a favorable edit. As you say, that many people could not dislike her so intensely unless she had really rubbed them the wrong way. Probably the reason Bob and Matty seemed to like her was because she never did anything to them personally to tick them off. Just the thing of her taking the bags to make the outfit out of was unacceptable. In a place where people have so little, you should respect their belongings. But the only thing they mentioned on the show, was the constant crying. I could see that irritating people, but would it really account for the intense dislike on some people's part and the obvious actual hatred from Corrine and Randy. That seems a little harsh for someone just crying. Corrine herself on the show admitted that she had treated Sugar horribly and made fun of her when she said just a few minutes of making nice had convinced her to do whatever Corrine wanted her to. she insinuated that Sugar was a pathetic loser who was SO grateful for Corrine's attention. I think that is what is behind a lot of her dislike. She thought she had manipulated Sugar to be her patsy and it turned out to be the other way around. As far as Corrine is concerned, it is all about her and she did not take kindly to someone she despised besting her. I liked Randy at first for the "tell it like it is" attitude, until I recognized it for what it was, bullying. Did you notice that the ones he tried to bully the most, were women. And did you notice the people he disliked the most were those same women who did not take his bullying, Sugar, Susie, and Crystal. They are the ones who called him on it. Randy is probably so used to people backing off that he can't take someone standing up to him. And I find it interesting that people seemed to admire Randy for the tell it like it is. But Corrine was considered a shrew for the same trait, and people did not seem to respect Sugar at all for doing the same thing during the questioning. Is that an attitude that is only accepted by men? I don't know for sure, but last night, I got the impression that a lot of Randy's stuff is phony. He was trying so hard to be the tough guy last night, to maintain the persona he had set for himself, that it was almost hard to believe. All that stuff about no friends and his dog. Please. Corrine, I think is pretty straightforward. She probably really is the *&%$@ she pretends to be. I will take her word for it.

Fine that Sugar thought ..let Bob and Matty duke it out. BUT, she ticked me off by letting Bob know what was about to happen (therefore he could practice) and blindsiding Matty. I began rooting for Susie and Matty at that point. If she wanted it to be fair.....she would've told Matty too.

I recorded the shows last night and was disappointed that 60 minutes cut into the first 1/2 hour. The only good thing is I believe it was a re-cap so it was ok. However, I was very annoyed that my Survivor Reunion show cut off at the point just after Corrine and Randy 'just' started talking. Luckily I read your posts and managed to figure out what happened after. I'm really disappointed Sugar didn't win favourite player although I guess if Bob didn't win then I would have wanted him to win the favourite player. I wish Jeff would have pointed out how instrumental Sugar was in Bob's win as well as many other plays. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy Bob won. As for how Sugar handled tribal council, I don't think she really could have said anything else. I couldn't believe Kenny at tribal saying to Bob,"That's not what I wanted to hear." Come on Kenny, what Bob said was EXACTLY what happened. It seems Kenny was in denial. I hope Corrine doesn't get anything more from her appearance on Survivor. I hate it when bad behaviour gets rewarded. All in all I really enjoyed this season, I thought the game play was the best in years; Bob and the fake immunity idols, Kenny masterminded, Sugar masterminded....it was really good in my opinion. P.S. I hope to see Sugar in many more TV productions!!}

I loved Kenny. I know that isn't a popular sentiment here, but I think he'd played an absolutely great game for the first two thirds of the season. He subtly maneuvered things behind the scenes, letting Crystal take the blame but without blaming her himself. Then when things began to go his way he just couldn't believe it was actually happening and got so excited he couldn't control his "I did this, I did this" feelings and it all went down hill from there. Like Crystal he went with class, even though blindsided, and I was very sorry to see him go. Good guy. Until the last few episodes I was a Bob fan, but I was almost wanting Susie to win by the finale. Bob was good at everything except making towers of cards (how could BOB not be good at making towers of cards!?!?!) and making sensible decisions!!! He made such vital blunders - conning Randy for no reason being the most obvious - that it's hard, even with his excellent survival and game skills, to be happy he won. Ironically for one of the most Survivor-suited people ever on the show, he was one of the least strategic players we've seen. Sugar... played well in many ways and I'm sad she didn't get any votes. She did play a significant part in the progress of the show but I guess her personality blew it all. She seems bouyant though, and looked sooo good at the finale. I'm happy for her that she's liked and is doing better. Now Susie. That last show I was almost rooting for her to win. If she'd have done better in the final jury speech/questions she might have won it. She also played a significant part in the game by knowing when to switch out. She also won two immunity challenges. She worked hard at camp and if she only got to the end because she rode coattails (which I don't believe) then the others let her do that. I just wish at the end she'd pointed out what she'd done. He speech came off as a bit pointless. Randy was odd at the reunion. Weird guy. Corinne I'd like to never hear of again. Loved Crystal for having such a sense of humour about herself. Marcus came across as pompous. I thought on previous shows they'd made it so the winner didn't get the extra prize? As it's monetary it seems unfair for the same person to get both.

For those who have a DVR and have problems recording because of the football games, what I do is change the length of time. I made it last night for about 2 and 1/2 hours. This coverd the end of the game and both segments of the show. Since there are games on every Sunday, that even if there is no late game, thare might be overtime in the early game and everything gets pushed back. It is wise to always assume there will be a delay and set the DVR accordingly.

I agree that Kenny played a good game. His big blunder was trying to turn on Bob. I know that he thought it was a good thing to get Bob out, but it was such a risky move, and it backfired on him. He made an assumption that Sugar and Matty would go along with him. I had to wonder if he thought that pulling the switch on Bob would look good to the jury? Instead it just made him look rather silly. It cost him his closest ally and eventally led to his being ousted. If he had stayed with Bob one more week, he would have been in charge of the game. The thing about Kenny is just like he said, he got cocky and thought he was already in charge. He was right in one respect, though, there was no way he was going to beat Bob or Matty at the final.

You can call a person many names and even hate/dislike them but when that person stoops to calling a person uneducated and retarded that goes to far for me. She also insulted Susie in an interview saying a cane field was missing a migrant worker. Corinne needs to get a lot of street smarts to go with that book education she has. She keeps recommending pills for Sugar which she says she convinces doctors to prescribe. She may need a few of them herself.

I have to wonder why she thinks her job is so much better than Susie's or Sugar's. At least as a teacher, Susie is contributing more to society than Corrine is and Sugar may make tons more money than she does. Sugar did not seem to be too concerned about the million dollars. It did not seem to me that she ever thought all that much about the money. It was more about staying out there until the end just to prove she could.

Allie, I totally agree with you. Sugar seemed completely unconcerned about the money. I wonder if anyone clued Corinne on the fact that Sugar is not exactly a street orphan leeching on society.

Corrine did what she sat out do. She has everyone talking about HER. So everyone will remember her. She set out to that and has been very successful at it. In six months everyone will just about forget who won but can tell you all about Corrine.
