It's Over??
It seems like this season went so fast. Never time to stop and really take in everything that was going on. Now what will I do on Thursday nights? Perhaps I will spend sometime on Mylot. 
For the most part this fell into place the way I had imagined it would. I did guess Bob, Suzie and Sugar for the final 4. I just expected Kenny would be there too.
3 votes for SUzie? How?
If I am not mistaken, I think that there were no votes for Suzie, but rather 3 votes against Bob and Sugar. Suzie really did not play the game. She was riding coat tails the whole time and walks away in 2nd place. It does not make sense, but that is Survivor.
Poor Sugar
Probably the best PLAYER ever is the one who did not get a vote. Kenny though he was manipulating the game, when in fact it was all Sugar. For her to have the immunity idol for 20+ days and never play except to give it to Matty to save him, was ingenious. Then for her to manipulate Bob and Kenny and Crystal and Corrine. Actually, just about everyone was manipulated by Sugar. I think her downfall was she just did not know how to address the jury. If you make it to the final tribal counsel, that is the time you boast about the stradegy you were working. You say, "I came into this game making people think I knew nothing about the game. I made people think I was a dumb blond. But in the end I out witted everyone in this game. I played the game just the way i though it needed to be played and I am proud of myself for making here tonight." Then when the questions come, you don't break down in tears and you DON'T tell off the jury member asking you the questions. The only person she would have a right to tell off would have been Corrine.
Not Worth a Whole Paragraph
An inexcusible comment from and inexcusible person. I just pray that she would get a conscience.
What About Bob!!
Such a simple name, "Bob". Yet under this simple name is revealed a man of many talents. A very likable man. A man you can trust. A man who for all that he did, did not win the game because he played well. He won because on several occations Sugar made it happen. I am not saying that bob did not deserve it. What I am saying is that he did not deserve it all by himself. But none the less, that is what makes Survivor so good.
Until next Season...

what's up PG?
yup, this was one the better seasons of Survivor.
i'm very happy for Bob but i personally would have liked to see Sugar take home the money.
she played an absolutely perfect game.
of course we weren't on the jury and sugar had something to do with most of those players ultimate demise.
i'm sure that's where the "Suzi votes" came from.....player who were mad at both Sugar and Bob......ie, Kenny, Randy....who i think is mad at the world, Crystal...
like i said after a couple of not so exciting seasons, this year was definitely a very memorable one.
see you next time on "Survivor Island"

Hey sconi, Good to hear from you. I have been rather scarce here lately. Working that other business. I made over $1100 last month.
I would like to see a Allstar season with Sugar and Matty and Bob there. Perhaps in 2 or 3 seasons.

double,
I'd like to see the thre in a future Survivor as well. And Sconi, I agree with you, it is one of the most memorable seasons. Like I said before, it's because of all of us expressing our thoughts and feelings throught the show. That made it special.

I agree with you. But, I think Randy voted for Bob. I think Jeff brought it up at the Live Reunion Show. But yeah. Bob is pretty good, too. See ya in Brazil! ;)

I am thrilled that Bob won! I said a long time ago, that people were not realizing how good a of a player that he really was. He was building furniture like the very first day. He is very smart and likable. I feel that he deserved to win all along.
Corrine.....
Sugar was awesome. She really did control the game. Kenny thought that he did.
Suzy.... I am amazed that she went as far as she did. Winning the last challenge.. speaks volumes about never under estimating anyone....

I was pleased with the outcome. I think that the 3 that were in the final it should have been Bob, Sugar and Suzie. Not by how they played, because then I would put Sugar first, but rather how they responded to the jury. I think Bob did an excellent job there.

It's over indeed. I was actually rooting for Sugar, Kenny, Bob and Matty. For me, they are the real players in the game. They have survived many challenges in Gabon. I was not shocked at all that Sugar didn't get any vote especially that she uttered a statement once that she was not hoping the jury would vote for her but if they do, then it would be good. I love Sugar. I hope she will be famous.

Yes, she really did a great job in the game until the final tribal counsel. I thought that she would present herself better. Oh well. Perhaps she will be on an All star show.

I agree with you that the votes weren't for Suzie but to spite Bob and Sugar. I think Sugar should have gotten some votes too. Maybe more than Bob, certainly more than Matty should have had he wound up in the final three. It all boils down to this bitter jury. They were all people who judged the finalists not on how they played the game, but on how they affected themselves on a personal level. Although Randy seemed like he was going to give it to Sugar until she snubbed him. I think Sugar thought she wasn't going to win anyway so why not tell it like she sees it. You're right about another thing. Sugar was the mastermind not Kenny. Kenny and Crystal were so cocky and they both got blindsided by Sugar. How could Matty not vote for Sugar after she saved his a$$ with the idol. He was mad that she wrote his name down so Bob would have a chance. But Sugar should have told Matty at the jury her motivation for voting for him. All in all I'm glad Bob won, but I would have been happy to see Sugar win too. And she should have gotten the $100,00 dollars. They should not set it up so the winner of Survivor can also win the consolation prize. They should say "Well, Bob won the popular vote, but he won a million so the prize goes to the runner-up. That way Sugar would have at least got something. She did make a big mistake, though. The stunt with the false idol was unnessessarily cruel. They were voting out Randy anyway, she didn't have to humiliate him. And he was still going to vote for her anyway, but she blew that chance. It wouldn't have made much of a difference anyway. Also, I think the contestants may have doubted whether she had really lost her father. Others had lied about deaths in the family in the past. I really felt for the poor girl.

Yes Jonny fair Play had set a precident that you cannot believe everything that people say. However, the fact that Corrine did not apologize even at the reunion mad me realize that she was just a mean person.
I agree that the winner should not get the consolation prize too. It has no meaning after winning the million. I just hope that down the road Bob will somehow repay Sugar for giving him a Million dollars.

Plunk I think that the Jury was naturally that way. Corrine was trying to play a "Jerrie" from survivor outback. She way surpassed her attitude with her comment on Sugar.
Sugar was an actress. I believe she played on Gilmore girls for a while. Not sure of her financial status though. It may have been what she had told others for the games sake. Which would make sense why she would throw the game to Bob.

This was the first year I actually got interested in Survivor. I've watched it before a little but never really had any favorite players until this year. I was rooting for Sugar most of the game and Kenny but towards the end I was rooting for Bob and I'm glad he won. I couldn't believe Sugar didn't get any votes tho. Looking forward to next season.

Haha, I need to spend time on myLot, too, on different interest areas! ;) I would have thought Kenny, too, but not after he really started believing that he owns the game. Susie DID help vote Marcus out (YES!!!!!!!!!!), but what else did she do? Well, she won 2 Individual Immunities just when she needed them. But, that's about it. Sugar probably deserved to win. She at least deserved Fan Favorite. NO way should Bob have gotten BOTH! Oh well. Until Brazil ...

Yes Suzie won when she needed it, but besides that she was pretty much under the radar. Sugar was on the Radar, but no one went for her. Go figure. I think it was the persona of "I don't know what i am doing" :)

Hi double,
I find it so interesting how much people really got into this season of Survivor! Maybe it's because we have mylot to express our thoughts about the show. I know it makes a big difference to me to see how everyone else is interpreting each player. Your descrition was was right on, I think my greatest disappointment was that Matty was so angry at not sitting in Suzies seat(where he rightly belonged) he took it out on Sugar who saved his a$$ many times but especially with the forgotten Idol. How selfish and grudging on his part. In my book Surgur is the WINNER! True she didn't explain what and why she did what she did but that is who she is!
She unselfishly helped others get to where they were. She never asked for anything in return. So that is the end of this Episode and I'm looking forward to the next Season. Big Brother will be coming soon I hope.

I am sorry, I skipped right over your post.
I absolutely love chatting about survivor via MyLot. I enjoy the people that are here and the insight that everyone brings to the show. Who they like and who they can't stand.
It adds a new dimension to the show.
Have a Merry Christmas!

I think if Matty had more than just 1 day to think about it, it would have been a different story. The wound was too fresh for him though.

Double,
I meant to mention that I also watch the amazing race.
What about The Mole? the Mole is farmore intellectually entertaining than I first thought. Now I can't wait for next season. Also, you have to watch Big Brother. Even my husband watches that with me. These are all a blast.
