Does anyone still watch this? This season's better than any I've seen in years. Each episode leaves me edgy going into tribal council and cheering coming out.

I was somewhat ambivalent about this season until this episode tonight. It was damn good, you can't beat a complete blindside.

Jonathan's really stuck in the spot where he has to do whatever it takes to get to the final two. But if screwing people over is what it takes, then there's no point because he'll never get their votes in the final two anyway. He knows this but can't find a way around it.

Agreed. Shit's really gonna hit the fan when they get back to camp from tribal council. I'm not sure Ozzy is even human. He's Manimal.

No shit, that dude is insane.

Tonight's episode was GREAT, and the whole season has been really good as well. Of course, in my house, every season is great (my fiance is a survivor junkie and im not far behind)

This has been a great season so far. Alhough, I'm starting to get tired of all the little twists they've been throwing in the last couple seasons - stuff like voting two out at tribal, messing with the jury size, hidden immunity idol, etc. Just let them play already!

Agreed. I sort of just jumped in with last night's episode, after seeing it sporadically, and while a lot of the interpersonal conflicts seem especially contrived, the staging worked to great effect. The longer Parvati's surviving, I'm watching.

I fully expect to see Yul and Ozzy as the final two.

I just look forward to next week so we can watch Adam and his girlfriends squirm.

So, didn't any of you watch the finale + reunion last night? Yul's good enough to have won probably 90% of all other seasons, but in my opinion, Ozzy should have been voted the winner. Mofo DOMINATED.

Oh, and Sundra? I FUH

I watched. I was hoping Ozzy would win also just because he dominated so much in all the challenges and worked hard all the time at camp feeding everyone.

Yul was a fine winner though. He did mastermind the strategy to get Jonathan back on their side which was genius and neither Yul nor Ozzy would have lasted long if that had failed.

Yeah, it sucks that Ozzy didnt win, but Yul was more than deserving.

ozzie got screwed

everybody always talks about how the game should be played with integrity and people should try to be honest and all that crap...but when it came down to a choice between a guy who used desception and manipulation vs a guy who just went about his business, provided for the tribes, and won immunity to secure his place...look who got the vote

Yeah, I definitely don't want to come across like Yul was undeserving or anything. He was a brilliant strategist. But Ozzy is super-human. Yul's like Dr. Xavier, and Ozzy's like Wolverine.

Instead of a "Survivor All-Stars," next time they need to have a "Survivor Bad Asses," with Ozzy, Tom the Fireman, and others who have dominated throughout, like Colby and Boston Rob. The only downside is it would be all guys, so no potential for muddy side boob.

Yul was outmatched by Ozzy. Without the immunity idol, Yul would not have lasted as he did, nor had as much influence. Ozzy played with desperation because he had to, and he did so successfully. This reflects poorly on his jury, but I guess Yul wins some respect by earning the vote of those he voted off to make the jury.

I fuh Parvati et Sundra.

Parvati has some of TEH HAWT, but I get the feeling she's slutty to Trishelle proportions.

Gotta have the fucking Jet Pilot dude from last season in that mix.

And there's enough tail that can do that damn thing to field a team: Steph would be the captain for sure.

DEFINITELY! I couldn't remember his name, but he's the main one along with Ozzy and Tom that made me think this would be a qual concept.

Uh, for the female shit-kickers, what about Susan Hawk (season 1)?

Plus, she's from Wisconsin, so you know I have to say it.

I went into the asking questions portion expecting the final vote to be 8-1 for Ozzy. So I was really surprised when Yul won but also glad.

I love love love how Yul/Becky/Ozzy/Sundra were down 8 to 4 at one point and knocked off all 8 of them to be the final four.


From Mutiny Day onward, Yul was pretty much guaranteed final three which is why I feel he deserved to win. If Ozzy had lost any of the challenges, he would've been out. If Yul lost the challenges, he still had Becky and Sundra. If they turned on him, he still had the hidden immunity idol. He was protected many times over.

Yeah, I think Ozzy hurt himself by bringing up the whole "we threw the challenge" thing from when they got rid of Billy.

I know that Adam (and by extension, Candice) and Jonathan voted for Yul. Add in the too other Asian kids and there you go.

Sundra too. She revealed to Entertainment Tonight that she had a secret crush on Yul the whole time.

I'm thinking Adam may not have voted for Yul as he did seem to kind of hate him during the end. Trying to get Ozzy and Sundra to make him use the idol and everything. But maybe he ended up hating them too for not doing so.

Huh, then Jenny or Brad voted for Ozzy. Or shit, maybe Candice did.

It pisses me off that they show the entire voting history for the season with the exception of the final vote.
