Very happy your surgery went well Chy!

I think Crystal called SANDRA out for riding coat tails, didn't she? She then moved on to Bob and said that Sugar made all his decisions, but the coat tail comment was aimed at Sandra, as I heard it.

Not Sandra, her name is Suzie ;)

Bob owes his win to Sugar. It was her vote that tied the final tribal council.

Ooops, yes, Suzie! I think Crystal's coat tails comment was aimed at Suzie.

I just want to say that I really liked the challenges this season.

And I'm happy for Bob!

Not just her vote. Didn't Sugar come up with the idea of tie voting and leaving results of the fire competition up to fate?

Back up a few, someone mentioned it not being fair the Bob was able to go practice fire-making, but IMHO, he already knew - he was just workin' it again. Also, IMHO, every single survivor who goes in NOT knowing how to make fire and NOT practicing is just choosing to be left behind. Every season fire is an issue, shoot - in almost every season there is a fire challenge of some sort. Matty not knowing how to make fire was HIS fault; whether or not he was blindsided into the tie should have no bearing on whether or not he can complete the most basic Survivor skill of all!

I must say, I was impressed w/Sugar's fairly calm reaction to Corrine's bile spew. Shoot, the girl even smiled while flipping the bird! :-) As someone else mentioned, I don't think Sugar was as bad as the others were - and I certainly wouldn't let their opinion of anyone affect my own. They all seemed way to eager to be mean, nasty and rude -- toddler behavior, not behavior I'd let determine my opinion of others.

Crystal - now if SHE said Sugar was mean, I might listen to her. She actually played it as a game and understood it was a game!

I agree that Corrine was just jealous of Sugar and couldnt get past it. Randy prolly had a secret crush on her and was pissed she didnt flirt with him.

I also agree that if Crystal said bad things about her I would find it more believable.

I think Sugar was really torn between the two but favored Bob who was a father figure. She just lost her Dad.

Sugar was also aware of being on camera because of her career, therefore she was/is smarter and more intelligent than Corinne.

Corinne wanted more face time in her interview before the show but hopefully it backfired.

Her comment about Susie was totally uncalled for.

Rest that wrist Chy.

I feel Sugar thought she was going to win America's favorite and that's why she threw the game to Bob. Her goal wasn't to win but to become a 'star.'
Here's a comment I read on Sucks from an interview she did right after:
The producers told my sister, "She was playing for more work and she's going to get it." I have to remind everybody I've been in SAG [Screen Actors Guild] for ten years.

Jessica (Sugar) never did care about the money. She is an actress who was hired to play the role of Sugar on Survivor. She was told to shake things up. Think about it - all of the drama at Tribal Councils this season was caused by Sugar, and she was told every step of the way by the producers what she was to do for each episode. She did a good job. She made "good television" (the BB actors did not just pluck that term out of thin air, it is a production term) for us, and we enjoyed it.

Yay Sugar!!! Thanks for the excellent Survivor season. Good luck in your acting career. You have a talent for it.

I am a bit perplexed that people think that the fan favorite shouldn't be eligible for the $ if they are the winner or that they should share fan fav $. Both were won fair and square, so what if the winner and the fav are the same person?! I say good for them, congratulations. Jeff has said several times that Survivor has a rule that you cannot share the $.

I kinda look at the fav as someone we wanted to win but didn't, that is why I would prefer the Million dollar winner to not also get the fav prize.

It is cool that the fan fav is the acutal winner but I think it should have gone to Sugar this year

Sugar, you make a good point. It is so seldom that the fans' favorite actually does win the million. It is kind of refreshing.

I have no problem with the winner also getting the fan favorite prize.

I also would have no problem with it if the show decided to give it to the 2nd place winner if the winner took the million.

Of course the point is that the fans did vote it to Bob. Apparently Sugar was popular, but Bob more so. I do think that if people had known that Bob was going to win the million, they would have voted the $100K to Sugar.

About the illerate fans statement. Didn't Bob say something about his students joking about him having the most illerate fans? I don't think he was calling his students illerate. Not sure just what was meant by it. Let's face it, Bob is not always real clear when he says something.

Well, I don't want the producers to "hire" someone to manipulate behind the scenes. That's not what Survivor is supposed to be about to me. If that's truly what they did with Sugar, then bleck.

I don't understand either why people think Bob should be ineligible for "Fan Favorite" because he won Survivor. He won both, fair and square. I don't think it is right to set conditions on "Fan Favorite."

Bob gained two pounds on Gabon! He ate 40-50 Gabon pears every day. I haven't read the whole article yet. It's from his nearest-to hometown paper.

1st off, even if I did know that Bob was going to win, I still would have voted him fan favorite and I know many people like that, so ...

anyway, I came in to post this:
Feds seize artifacts from hit show 'Survivor'

WASHINGTON – The federal tribe has spoken: A contaminated monkey skull, termite-infested statues and other African artifacts of the TV show "Survivor" will not be allowed into the U.S.

Officials disclosed Monday that customs inspectors in Houston seized a variety of restricted items that were being shipped to the U.S. in a container belonging to the CBS reality show. Among the items: the hide from an African cat suspected of carrying a dangerous disease, a mandrill skull, civet hides, parrot, poultry and ostrich feathers, bones and cowries shells.

I didn't vote for fan favorite but if I had I would have voted for Bob.....as I really felt that he couldn't win as no one who wanted to win would take him to final 3. I never thought that the finals would include someone like Sugar who seemed to not want to win...only to get as much screentime as possible. I feel like we the viewers had a very sneaky trick pulled on us by the Survivor powers that be with Sugar. Maybe that's really why none of the others voted for her in the end!!

Does anyone else think that the finale looked like a Gilligan's Island reunion? First, second and third place went to - The Professor, MaryAnne, and Ginger!

While Jessica/Sugar came in third, she wasn't empty handed. She had a bucketful of class. While Corrine< 100>, the troubling part is how much she enjoys being hurtful! Her preening over being 'The Deliberate Cruel B*tch' was nauseatingly palpable. I have never, do not now, and will never understand how people like that <100>. At least Randy had the good grace to look uncomfortable/bashful/embarrassed at times in the live show.

Congrats to Bob for scooping up the big win!

ITA, she's my fave and she wuz robbed. (Actually Bob won fair and square, and I'll bet she came in a VERY close second as most popular.)

I did enjoy Sugar, but I felt it was very unfair for her to be on the show. I felt that she was there mainly to further her acting career and she wanted that exposure, which she received. I think it is an unjustice for all those "everyday" people that try out for Survivor.
