Yeah it sucks but everybody knew who was tight with each other and just didn’t do anything about it. It sucks that they don’t show the players honest opinions about what’s going on during the actual show and we have to wait for it during the exit interviews.

but the one thing they couldn't have happen was Aubry winning at 4 (or Tiff if they had switched it)

Imagine if Aubry lost the challenge and went on to beat one of the guys at fire making. Her underdog story would have been off the charts.

Aubrey’s made it far in several seasons because she’s a below the radar non-threat. It’s not like she has a great skill that puts here there.

I think Steph’s comment about Jonathan being the total package was based on Ponderosa conversations. She probably knew where the vote was going and was frustrated that no one respected his performance in all aspects.

Apparently they called him the total package all season as a wrestling reference bc IRL he helped rehab a wrestler. I don’t know the specifics but the story is out there

I'm sure she was frustrated that Cirie was steering it all towards her friend Aubry even though Johnathan played the better game.

She definitely laid it on a little too thick and didn't give Johnathan a chance to sell himself any either.

Literally during final tribal I told my wife that Aubrey is winning. Too many women on the jury and gay boys that won't vote for a jacked white man. Rick, Christian, and Rizzo aren't voting for Jonathan because he represents the opposite of what they are. Strong challenge beast who is 6'4 with abs. They would NEVER vote for him. Cirie and Tiffany were never going to vote for a man, especially not a white man. Dee I can kind of understand because Jonathan got her voted out so she's bitter. Emily might be the most analytical savant in whatever field she's in outside of Survivor but she fricking sucks arse and Jonathan was never getter her vote. Ozzy also was scorned by Jonathan. But Ozzy is a legit fricking retard so his vote should count as a negative.


Spot on

If I am a guy like Jonathan, I am doing everything possible to get as many girls out asap. Frankly any guy should be trying to get girls out at this point. Extremely hard to beat a girl in F3

I’m just disappointed that we don’t see good gameplay and challenge threats rewarded anymore. It’s all about the jury’s fee fees

Jonathan played the most complete game someone can play in survivor and he no shot at winning because the types of people they cast on the show resent what he stands for

I knew that I couldn’t trust Miss Cirie. She told me that, “Oh, I got you if I make it to the end. I got you if I make it to the jury.” But that’s so not what happened. Miss Cirie basically rallied the troops when she got back to Ponderosa. Snd that’s part of the reason I think I lost. Do you think she just has the influence in the game like she did, where she’s got four people asking her, “Hey, how do we vote?” You don’t think they’re doing that at Ponderosa? And is by happenstance that the people that surrounded her and asked her, “Well, how do we vote?” are the same people that didn’t vote for me in the finale? I’m just curious. That’s at least that’s what I see. I know the game doesn’t end once you hit Ponderosa, because people talk about it all the time. It doesn’t stop till the finale is out. So that’s what I think happened.

It's probably the reason Stephanie made that pitch for Jonathan. She saw what was going on a ponderosa.

I was just happy they had a big finale show this year. I like seeing them all dressed up and back to civilization. I bet they don't keep it because it was an additional expense.


And it was a total waste of money. They didn't even have a reunion. For years I have been saying that I miss the LA finale because it gives the contestants a chance to watch the show and comment on things they didn't realize. I would have loved some questions on:

What did Dee think when Johnathan was making her look crazy?

Why did everyone always go to Cirie whenever a decision had to be made?

If Tiff was in over Aubrey, who would've voted for Tiff?

Steph, why didn't you try to save your skins more and throw Johnathan under the bus?

What did everyone think was happening with Devens and the idol at tribal?

There are tons more, but we got none of that. All we got was Aubrey's victory speech, Johnathan's loser speech, and Joe's view on final tribal. Why did we even come back to LA? It was all made worse by the fact that they wasted 20 minutes setting up fire making only to spoil it.

All in all, it may be the worst Surivor finale that I can remember.

The best definitely doesn’t always win.
