The End of Survivor Gabon- Happy or Disgusted?

Hey Survivor Fans, I can honestly say I am happy and disgusted at the same time. First of all, I didn't like them taking three to the end to choose from. It doesn't work for me. Secondly, I don't think Bob should have won both prizes. Since he won the million, then the hundred thousand shoud have gone to the next popular player, that should have been Sugar. In my opinion that would have been the best ending. Now on to the real disgusting part. Randy and Corinne. Were they competing to see who could be the nastiest? If so, Corrine had it hands down. What a witch!!!!!!! If my Father had just passed away, you can bet my emotions would serve up tears at any given time. I think Corinne's remark about Sugar using tears as a gimmick, (her words weremuch nastier) was so way out of line, and I'm still not over it. Punk and Cortjo, you usually give a better run down of the episodes but I thought I would get it started for a change. Eas, how are you feeling now that it's over? So, are you happy with the outcome or are you disgusted? Hugssssss leenie

I live on the west coast so I didn't know until I saw your post that Bob won both prizes. I'm a Bob fan so I couldn't be more thrilled that he won. I don't like the three to the end either but in retrospect if Susie had the choice, she certainly would have picked Sugar because she would have been sure to beat her. I prefer when someone who deserves it actually wins and I think that Bob hands down was more deserving than the other two. Corrine's comment hands down was completely uncalled for. I can't imagine hating someone so much that I would ever say anything like that. Still can't wait til next year!

No no... I saw the ponderosa video of Corinne after she got voted off, and I also saw Kenny's. Corinne makes this snotty little comment about Kenny's suitcase and what he packed! Every time I hear/see something from her it's like nails on a chalkboard, it is AWFUL! She says something about how it was like high school, you have the 'cool smart people' like 'me and my friends (she actually SAYS this)' and then you have those mutants, and I'm like SO glad that I'm back with the cool people again. COOL PEOPLE?? Charlie? RANDY? OMFG. Marcus at least seems sort of normal when he's not buttering up Corinne's butt...

Lauren, I am so sorry for spoiling your show. I thought it was late enough that most people would have seen it already, or in the midst of seeing it. Not knowing the time zones in other Countries, next time I will wait till the next day at least. I'm sorry to say this, but Corinne is EVIL. And she is proud of it. Randy is Evil as well but I think Corinne gets the prize on that one. As for the winner, Bob totally reigns supreme!! I was so happy for him and his wife. I do wish that the second prize had gone to Sugar. She desrved it in my book. leenie

No. No. Don't apologize. I was thrilled to learn that he won both prizes. I'm really wondering if this isn't all an act with Corrine. She may be trying to extend her 15 minutes of fame. I started to think that when Jeff said that she called to complain that they didn't show her in a more nasty light than she was portayed in on the show. That just seems to me like she wants to stand out from the rest in hopes of landing more t.v. gigs (something like the Johnny Fairrplay thing) Nonetheless, what she said to Sugar was absolutely unforgiveable.

When Bob was told he won the Viewer's Choice I think he was waiting for Jeff to say that because he was the winner the money would go to the second place winner. Which is exactly what should have happened. But I guess we only have ourselves to blame. So far everyone on here thinks Sugar should have won Viewers Choice. We are the voters and she didn't get it so I guess it's our fault. LOL! I didn't even hear them announce a VC vote online otherwise I would have been on there. Yes, Bob won a lot of challenges and I was stunned that so many of them were puzzles, which is Bob's thing. He is a physicist after all. The last challenge usually is an endurance challenge so I was peeved that it wasn't. I also didn't like having 3 people go to the final. I hate it that Suzie even got one vote. She did not deserve that. She came so close to being voted out so many times because she was useless. Sugar was the brains of the game. Funny how both Randy and Kenny thought they were running the show when in fact it was Sugar. THAT is why she should have won. She made wise decisions, and was WISE enough NOT to tell others so that it didn't spread. Bob told Kenny twice why he didn't give him the immunity idol after he said he would and Kenny acted like it wasn't true about running to camp and telling everybody they were going to blindside Bob. I don't even know why he asked that question when Bob already answered it. I found this one of the most interesting seasons of Survivor. A lot of smart moves. Look at Jeff asking Bob where he got the rope from... "We don't give you anything," he said. Well, Bob pointed out that they do unwittingly give them stuff. Bob pulled one over on Survivor. Guess that proves he should have won. I didn't expect Suzie to get any votes and I don't think she should have. I wanted it to be down to Sugar and Bob. But Sugar knew she couldn't win against any of them so I guess she isn't all that surprised that she didn't win. She sure as heck isn't a sore loser. She played a great game!

That WAS interesting when Jeff said 'where'd you get that, we don't give you anything'.. .lol! I hate it that Susie went all the way too, she didn't even PARTIALLY deserve it. That chick did NOTHING to warrant staying in Gabon for even a week, in my humble opinion. I liked how Bob mentioned twice that Kenny was only making a big deal about the idol because Bob didn't give it to him - and he didn't give it to him because he found out that they were going to vote him out if he suddenly became vulnerable because he gave the idol to Kenny lol. Like I mentioned in another Survivor thread, this is the WORST jury ever! Well half of it. Marcus, Charlie, Corinne, and Randy. The worst! I mean you want people on the jury who are going to like you, and not act like they did. I saw a few of the videos too and I could not believe some of the crap Corinne said! She sure likes that word 'mutant', that's all I'm going to give out.

Hi Pat, I don't think it should be that hard for Survivor producers to figure out that the runner up deserves the 100k. They have never done it this way before. They always gave it to someone else that was most popular. After all, if it hadn't been for Sugar, Bob would not have won. Twice she saved his butt. As for Randy and Kenny declaring themselves Kings or whatever, just goes to show you what they really are. Suzie should never have been sitting there much less receiving any votes. What is with that crowd of poor losers? Not one of them could admit what a good game Sugar played? It always amazes me how the losers behave at the finale. Don't they know they are on TV? That being said, can't wait till next season. leenie

I am not happy at all and for starters that I did not get to see the two hour show, just the last maybe 30 minutes of it and the first 30 of the reunion show. I had my recorder set to record both shows and got ready to watch last night and found it didn't do it's job. I was glad that I did get to see who won and I did see the hateful words come from Corinne, she is horrible and her parents should be very ashamed of her. Didn't they have three finalists last season also? I didn't get to see why Bob got extra money but I don't think that was fair. Did they say where the next Survivor would be held at? I hope next season is better than this one.

Hey Tyc, The finale was shameful in my opinion. Corinne is so evil that her that I think she put a spell on everyone else in the jury, even Mattie. When given the hace to speak, not a single one could ask a question that made any sense!! They just were all acting like sore losers and big babies. Bob just barely won over Suzie. What did Suzie do to deserve to win? She sat back in the shadows hoping noone would notice heer. She didn't make anyone mad until she won the last immunity idol. Then she just wouldn't shut up. She kept rubbing it in Bob's face until he got mad. What a joke The next Survivor is in Brazil. leenie

Thank you very much. Oh I also wish Sugar had won the 100 thousand. I didn't like Sugar in the beginning but I sure did grow to like her.

It didn't bother me that much that Bob won, but I agree that Sugar should have gotten 2nd prize. She outplayed everyone else and outlasted nearly all of them. Suzie had no place on that stage in my opinion. She was practically useless in every way. The remarks made by Corinne were completely inappropriate, nasty, insensitive, and ignorant. She turned out to be the nastiest competitor I have ever seen on that show. Really surprised me. I never liked Ace or Randy but Corinne really takes the cake.

Good for you, I hope your protest letter works. There have been some bad contestants in the past (remember Johnny Fairplay? What a sleaze) but Corinne and Randy take the cake.

Hi nova, I couldn't have said it better. I'm happy that Bob won, but truth be told, I would have loved to see Sugar win. She gave so much to the game. It was because of her that Bob and Matty made it to the end. She was a sweetheart and took care of the two people who were almost as nice as she was. In the end, she at least deserved the 100k. I won't be happy until I hear that something was worked out. In fact I thought we should all protest that stupid error on the part of the producers. I'm going to try and send a protest letter. Suzie really irked me. She sat there like she worked so hard to get there. What a joke. Like you, I never liked Ace, especially when he figured Sugar for a dumb blonde and thought he had her in his pocket. Randy and Corinne are nothing but evil beings. Well, till next season. leenie

Corinne was nasty. I predict that life will knock her down a peg or two one of these days. It would be a nice gesture for Bob to give Sugar the $100 k, after all he wouldn't even be in the final if it weren't for Sugar. And I don't get why Susie got so many votes and Sugar got none. From the outside looking in, I think it was between Sugar (for strategy) and Bob (for survival and winning challenges). Susie was the coattail rider in my book, not Bob.

Yep, I feel that way too. Crystal pointed out that Susie was a huge coattail rider all the way through. At least people like Kenny, Crystal, and Matty had some gameplay under their belts. I get the feeling that Susie talked all the time too, like jabber jabber jabber and nobody could stand it. She wasn't necessarily a THREAT which is why they didn't get rid of her earlier but man was she annoying.

Hey dawn, Corinne was nasty alright. Someone else pointed out that it may have been a ploy on her part to get air time for future possibilities. That's why she was upset that she didn't get enough exposure as the evil one. I hope it blew up in her face. Bob and Sugar were the real players in this game. Actually the only real players. Like you said, Sugar for strategy and Bob for survival and challenges, not to mention a little creativity. Suzie should have been left in the shadows where she sspent the rest of the game. leenie

Ewww! Yeah, if I were related to Corinne I think I'd disown her. She just embarassed her entire family on national tv.

Hi bunny, How true it is about her family's feelings. Personally I have come to the conclusion that it is all an act, so that she would get the most air time. Problem is her act stinks!! She probably wants to be an actor and thought this was her chance. I don't think she saw Marcus's reaction when she went way out of line with poor Sugar about her tears for her Father. I don't care how creepy EVIL she is, she needs to ask for forgiveness for that one. If her Father is still around, she better hope he forgives her for that too. Also, you are absolutely right, Bob wouldn't have had a chance if not for Sugar. Sugar really got shafted. leenie

I love Survivor. Even so I too am happy AND disgusted. I don't have an issue with three at the end but I was really beside myself that Susie won immunity. I wanted Bob, Sugar, Matty, or Bob, Sugar, Kenny, Susie had NO place in that final three. I was really pulling for Matty to win immunity since it became obvious fairly early that Bob was having too much trouble. I didn't think Sugar would NEED it because I just couldn't see any of them voting Sugar out. I don't think Bob should have won both prizes either. I am glad he won the million, I think he has been my favorite Survivor winner so far. I do believe that the viewer's choice should have gone to Sugar, and with Bob winning, I would have loved to see Sugar get viewer's choice. Randy and Corinne - ok, Randy redeemed himself somewhat at the finale. I really think Randy is just socially awkward, he's not a people person at all. He doesn't want attention and he doesn't need it, and he doesn't know what to do with himself when he has it. Like he said, he's better off with a dog for a best friend because the dog doesn't cheat, doesn't lie, doesn't 'not ever shut up', doesn't annoy him, isn't up in his face, and he can say anything he wants to the dog without anything bad happening and the dog still loves him. I was also laughing uproariously when he made his comment about people are either born liking me or not. I suppose he is an acquired taste and he has to like YOU in order for him to be tolerable. I think I could put up with him now actually. Corinne... well she made herself even worse at the finale. At the end of the tribal I know for certain that she is possibly the most useless excuse for a person ever.

Well MB, I'm afraid I still don't like Randy. He did do one thing that I appreciate and that is, he voted for Bob. But his meanness is toally uncalled for. First of all, I don't believe in treating people with the meanness he does for no reason. If someone treats him badly, that's one thing, but just for the heck of it, sorry it doesn't set well with me. Corinne is just bad to the bone, whether she is acting or for real. This cast of players for the most part are not even memorable, with a few exceptions and we know who they are. leenie

Hahahaa - you're WAY ahead of us! In Australia, we're still getting Fans v Favourites. We're down to the final three or four. Luckily my memory's shot to bits, so I'll have forgotten about Bob, Corrine, Punk and Cortjo by the time they let us have it!

I was very disappointed that Susie snunk into the final 3. I would have preferred it to have been Matty. I was really shocked that Sugar got Zero votes. I was hoping she would at least win the $100,000. Maybe Bob will cut her a chunk of cash off for her. It is good to know that Sugar has become a bit of a celebrity because of all of this. Perhaps she will receive modeling jobs or acting gigs from it. I would hope that they do another Survivor's Favorite and include Matty, Sugar and Bob!

Hi Shelly, Cool truck! It's as if Suzie hid under Sugars skirt and snuck into the final three. What is with a final 3 this year? I don't like it. Back to two. My picks were also Bob, Sugar and Mattie. Who voted for Suzie? I think the EVIL witch and who else? If Bob is as good a person as I think he is, he'll find a way to give that 100k to Sugar. It would be nice to see something good come out of this for Sugar. leenie

Sugar was robbed for sure. She completely ruled the entire game. Even in the end she decided who would get the money Matty or Bob. I'm actually a little disappointed she passed Matty over for Bob - there was no way Matty could beat Bob in a fire-making challenge. I think she thought she was being fair "best-man wins", but I don't think she thought it through. I simply think both Sugar and Matty were better people than Bob. They were sweet and innocent and sincerely NICE. I couldn't believe how SMUG Bob was during question and answer period. I also think it's sad Sugar's honestly sunk her when it came to Randy's vote and Matty's vote. I'm not disgusted with the outcome, but I am disappointed. I also think the Sprint reward should not be allowed to go to the winner. I think if the audience picks the overall winner as the top-pick, the prize should go to the runner-up of the Sprint challenge. I mean geez, he has a job, a house and already won a million. She lives in her CAR!

Welcome to mylot his! Well in the end, I was glad Sugar went with Bob. Matty really didn't stand out with any big wins. Bob out won everyone and that takes a lot of effort. He also worked harder. I liked Matty because he was such a nice guy but not that competitive. I was disappointed in him at the finale. His attitude really stunk. He fell into the pity me party with the rest of the jury. No one wanted to be rational long enough to pick the best player. Bob should have won as he did, and Sugar should have been the runnerup. Sugar in my opinion was the smartest one in the whole group. She not only found the first idol and told everyone but she also managed to make everyone forget she had it. Does she really live in her car? Bob better come through for her. Till next time. leenie
