Hell Yeah Mike! That's how you run the table and dominate a season. That worked out just as I hoped it would. Rodney has now officially failed every single thing he was challenged with on the show, not the least of which is reason, logic, and the english language. But, he did stay com, coo, and collective. Well, until he failed at making fire and stormed off like a petulant little bitch. I think he was about 5 seconds away from breaking down in tears. And then, that Violet Beauregards suit!
I'm starting to think the dude may be functionally retarded.
Will the mushroom, finishes as he started, non-existent.
Carolyn. Good run, smart play, tough competitor, but you just weren't up to Mike's level. Also, how did they put a 75 year old face on a 40 year old body? That always just creeped me out a little bit.
The final tribal was different from any other in that the final three didn't get an opening statement, or a closing argument. They really never got a chance to plead their case other than in answering questions. I wonder what that was all about?
Dan. What a fricking yankee blowhard blunderbuss. Typical drama queen of irrationality and spotlight seeking. His constant huffs and glares at Mike during final tribal were just showboating and immature bullshite. I LOVED how Jeff went overboard in destroying him in the reunion show. I think they wanted to send a clear message to future players that if they come back from the game and start acting an arse on social media, there will be reprecussions. By the end of the reunion Dan looked like a liar, idiot, showboat, frickhead.
Shirin. That there's a head full of snakes man. Yes, I feel for her getting roasted by Will. But she took that and locked on to it and made it her signature identity in Survivor annals. In real life I bet her coworkers are REALLY GLAD she got picked for the next season. Another 38 days out of the office!
Next season, who are most of these people? I've watched every season and I'm totally lost on who 50% of the cast are. One thing is for certain, they didn't pick the women based on looks. The bikini quotient will be none too pleasing methinks. I'm hoping Joe or Spencer takes the win.

Reunion show was horrible. big time. Don't give a shite about how Dan has to explain he's not who he his. Shirin is so awkward and every synonym for the word. She has some serious issues. Rodney, just absolutely clueless. How about catching up with some other players besides the worst 3-4 to ever play the game. Didn't care for how they tell the people they didn't make the cut for 2nd chance.
If anybody needs a second chance the 2 people from Palau they didn't get picked from the schoolyard selection for tribes.

Yeah the reunion show has been bad since around the time of HvV and RI, when Jeff stopped caring what everyone else had to say except for his 4-5 favorites in the cast and whatever pathetic famewhores they wanted to stick in the audience and get soundbites from.
I did enjoy him blasting Dan and making him look like a fool. Dan is one of the biggest idiot blowhard drama queens to ever be on the show.
I'm completely bumpuzzled that people voted for Shireen and not Carolyn. I bet the rest of the second chances cast is pissed after seeing how annoying she is. Her jury speech was terrible and awkward. She didn't just "borrow a line" from Sue Hawk, she completely ripped it off and did a horrible job of it. And she threw in a line about her being a millionaire by the time she was 25
I'm really curious to know who the 11th place male was that got bumped up by Mike winning. My guess is it was Terry, and that Shane was close behind.

Not happy about Woo getting on again. I would have much rathered Shane or Troyzan.
Seems like people are disappointed in the reunion show. I definitely understand that but I think last night was a step in the right direction. At least we didn't have Jeff talking to random people in the audience and wasting precious time. I'm also glad he didn't talk to people during breaks in the show before the reunion. I always hated that and it was so awkward.

Found myself going from hating mike mid season to being completely into it towards the end, legit cheering out loud for mike, hoping he would get to give a big frick you to the rest of the cast. The funny thing has to be when they go back and watch the show is that he was right about everything they buried him for being paranoid about. It was awesome seeing him go beast mode and winning to the end, I was shocked when it wasn't a sweep for him in the voting, but it just went to show the bitterness and cluelessness of some of the cast.
Completely agree as others have said about Dan, guy made my skin crawl almost with his constant drama, whining and attitude. After not listening to mike for the 1000th time and getting voted out, his expressions on the jury seat just showed how classless he is.
Overall I thought this was one of the better seasons they have had, by no means have I watched all 30, but I find myself watching the show more often than not. This was my favorite season since the One where Boston rob dominated.

I was very satisfied with how that turned out. I was also cheering out loud every time Mike won. As bad as the reunion show was, there are a lot of talking points as other here have noted.
Mike - I'm kind of glad they didn't focus too much on him. I just don't think there was a whole lot of story there other than a couple of small things. Going back to the final tribal, I thought he really blew it. Instead of apologizing for some moves, he should have owned up to them like the nose-ring girl (blanking on her name) basically said for him. I don't really understand the bitterness from the jury. You were all gunning for him, he had no other options. As others have said, he was mostly right every time. The only thing I remember him being wrong about was when he told Dan he was going home. Dan went home, but only because Mama C player her idol.
Mama C - I am really surprised she got less votes than Rodney would have. I thought she was a really good player. I felt bad for her when she didn't make the second chance show. She looked so devastated.
Dan - Like everyone else, I hated this dude. His facial expressions, the way he drags out every word, and his general look-at-me personality was very grating. Having said that, I was kind of on his side on the reunion show. None of the things he said were that big of a deal. The whole SJW movement has made people feel the need to get huffy about everything. He could have quelled the whole Rodney mother thing by saying, "Look, I don't know his damn mom. It's just guy humor. It would have the same merit as me saying his mom is an angel". I understand that Jeff just had to focus on something to throw him under the bus for his after-show comments.
Shirin - She hates Will, but she should thank him for getting her on Second Chance. Without that outburst, people would forget she existed by the start of next season. She is awful.
Rodney - I have never been more entertained by someone's hubris. He honestly thought he was running the show the entire time. It was hysterical. He will probably going down as the player with the largest gap between actual gameplay and self-perceived gameplay.
Second Chance - I am excited that Spencer and Joe are going to be on. I didn't start watching until 2006, so I don't know most of the older casted people.

Rodney also completely copied Jaquion with his slickster makeover.
Mike really was an annoying guy who was the leader of that horrid alliance that kept making terrible moves he decided on until he went full retard at that food thing. He only seems likable in comparison to Dan and Co. Everything they did to him, he did to Joe.

Holy shite, I didn't even notice that. His whole outfit definitely matched his man crush.

I was glad Mike said he regretted not going through with the move at the auction. His best play would have been to avoid that agreement all together. He should have just told them that he is not agreeing to making the price as low as possible to appease them. Sorry, my mom's letter to me is not worth the advantage. I am not depriving you of your loved one, you are making the choice here, not me. Instead, he waffled and it killed him.
Speaking of that, they really need to change it up going forward. I am tired of the entire cast knowing all of the little details of every single aspect of the show. Shirin let everyone know that they typically let the whole group buy that for whatever the person that bought it originally paid. Well, that took away from the point of the auction. Hopefully, with all returning members, they change up all the little nuances to keep people on their toes.

That whole segment was just awkward. I ended up liking Dan by the end of it, and I hated him all season. Jeff came across as a whiney bitch butthurt over Dan's comments on the editing, which he was mostly right about.
Overall, I thought this season sucked mostly because all the people I liked got voted out, and I hated the final 5 or 6. Mike did make the tribal councils interesting, but other than that, the episodes were boring and predictable. Actually now that I think about it the only contestants I really liked this season were Halli and Jenn.

One of Mike's best moves was forcing the tie vote. He gave Carolyn the heads up and gave her notice that she needed to practice (even though it didn't do her much good). He could have easily gone along with Rodney and Will and voted Carolyn out, however, by forcing the tie, he forced both players to show how weak they were at a basic skill that every survivor contestant should know.
If Rodney had won, the fire-making challenge, Mike gets to emphasize to the jury that Rodney still took an hour just to light a fire. Also, if Carolyn had ended up in the jury, she can't be mad at Mike because he gave her a chance and advance notice to practice. Mike could also emphasize that he gave Carolyn a chance because he wanted to compete against someone that deserved to be in the finals. That argument wins Carolyn's vote and probably anyone that was leaning towards Carolyn.
Forcing the tie vote was pretty huge for Mike even though it was a win/win scenario for him. I am surprised that Jeff did not really mention it during the reunion.

Mike kicked some arse. I was so ready for him not to win. I was about to quit this show for good.
She brings nothing to the show.

I'm glad the jury ended up doing the right thing and voting for Mike.
Not that it would have been a huge travesty if Carolyn had won, but it still would have been the wrong decision.
I'm actually really surprised that the alliance didn't all vote for Carolyn in the second to last elimination. I figured she was done for, then they all of a sudden (after all voting Carolyn the previous elimination) switched and turned on Sierra. Very surprising to me.

But they were bright enough to try to take her out 2 or 3 days before? They knew she didn't have another idol, that was their chance... then one of them just has to beat Mike (ha!) and they have their all-alliance top 3. You can't tell me that losing Dan meant the alliance losing their smarts... but I guess so?
