There was a jerk on the show, too.

I agree completely. I admit to crying twice. My husband was laughing at me, the oaf. When Rodger told them to choose him over Elisabeth, I lost it. Those two are very sweet together. I hope they are still close in the outside world.

Fab, aren't they the sweetest together. It just makes my heart melt. It's as if they knew each other before maybe in a past life, if there is a such thing. Because they were so close and got along together so well they were like family to each other. I'll miss Roger... very sweet guy.

My son and I watch Survivior together each week. He is 9 years old. We both cried together on this one. Even Colby brought tears to my eyes when he said his Mom was his best friend.

Nothing like seeing a bit of the human side to go along with the game.

Roger may not have been the last survivor, although he is a winner. There are a number of ways to be a winner, and Roger reminded all of us that concept.

My Rodger's gone. Family wouldn't leave me alone until 10:30 our time to watch the show. How's poor Bessy going to win without Rodger? I finally pulled myself together just before the vote and then Elisabeth started crying Rodger left and I'm just a puddle. Sigh.

Go Elisabeth! Sigh.

Tears were the order of the evening here too :)

I was happy to see that all of them had people
who touched them in this way.

I think for sure Rodger will be there when Elisabeth gets married.

Moon, sorry to hear you haven't had a dad since age 12. If your dad was a pinch like Rodger, then you had yourself a great dad!!

I'm gonna miss Rodger and wish him well. I'll bet we'll be seeing a lot of him in the media because he and Elizabeth are the Survivor darlings in my mind.

Outback Daddy and Outback Daughter are my favorites!!

Thanks Egbok77:) He was a wonderful man like Rodger so I was so blessed to have him for 12 years.

My Dad would have been the hard worker and the cheerleader like Rodger... even would have been the one to bring the bible... he would have taken Elisabeth under his wing as well...

I do hope we will see more of him and Elisabeth!

Sounds like a great Dad you had, Moon, just not long enough.

I'm quite sure we will be seeing much more of Rodger!

I cried like a baby too! Colby & Rodger especially touched my heart...

I think it was sad that Keith didn't get to talk to or even mention his kids...I suppose it would have been awkward to have his Ex with his kids plus that would tick of the girlfriend - but then you can't have the girlfriend with the kids that would tick off the ex...and the kids on their own probably wasn't a viable option...so guess who gets the shaft? THE KIDS. *sigh* so sad, their Dad is on the most popular TV show in America
And they are not part of the "family" segment? Plus they get to watch their Dad ask someone to marry him...
Jeez I am bummed out this morning - guess it's Rodger withdrawal.

They ask the participants in advance who they would like to have contact with in the event there was an opportunity.

Good Point OI...Please excuse my whining in above post - just one of those days I guess.

Who knows he probably had his kids down as contacts - but because of the competition aspect of the encounter they went with his girlfriend. I only wish I was learning the answers to these things from Keith right now on the Early Show!!!

Colby finally showed that he is a basically a jerk.

Why do you say that OI?

If you don't know, then telling you won't help. Didn't you see the show last night?

I think Colby sees Keith as his biggest threat. He will do what he has to to get rid of Keith. Once keith is out of the way he figures he has the million.

O_I, so what you are saying is that by voting strategically and keeping himself in the game by voting out one of the threats for the final 2, he is a jerk? Voting Rodger would have spelled doom for all 3 Ogas. Remember, this is a contest after all, not a charity show, everyone, even Bissy and Rodger knew that going in. Do you think they should just hand over the prize to Kentucky Joe because he is a nice guy, or do you think they should participate in the contest that they signed up for?

OI, just because someone doesn't have the same level of understanding about something (or sees what you see) doesn't mean they can't ever get to a different place of understanding.

That is quite an assumption on your part that telling them won't help in any way. If you weren't willing to share your insight, please don't bring it up to bait people. (or at least put them down)

Silver brings up another way to look at the Colby situation.
