Gotta respect the balls it took to make that big move at the end.

That said, of the the final 3, Gavin should have won. He made it through the season without a single vote against him.

Lauren was hot even unbathed. But, she was a smoke show after getting cleaned up.

Dumb move playing her idol for chris.. With it she makes at least final 4.

Devens was the best player. But, him putting fake idols in play after whining about the fake advantage he got was kind of a dick move.

i'm going to have a recurring dream about a 3way with Lauren and Wentworth for weeks now.

having everyone left on extinction in the jury sucks. most of them showed in the final battle back why they didn't deserve to be there.

Next Season Boston Rob and Sandra are mentors? Also, I didn't see a "Lauren" in the quick preview they showed. Hopefully we will have at least 1 like her..

Oh, I agree he made some ballsy moves and then going against Devens in the fire making challenge. That to me is what won it for him. He beat the guy that would have won.

Lauren is just unreal but Victoria and Aurora clean up very well. Kelly too.

I thought it was hilarious on him putting out the fake idols but it was a dick move. Lauren knew it was too good to be true.

I'm not sure about the next season. Why do they need "mentors"?

All in all, one of the better seasons.

It was pretty boring until Devens came back into the game, but a lot of seasons are kind of boring the first half of the season.

I think it's interesting that the 2 players that got back from EOE played a balls-to-the-wall style with big move after big move. Part of that was necessity, but I think getting a second chance made them both realize they couldn't play conservatively.

Yep as far as the game went, it wasn't boring. I think it's just that the guy who won wasn't who anyone wanted to win.

I don't really disagree with many of those points, and the last half of the season was fantastic. But go back several pages in this thread and many posters were saying the season was boring, the cast was boring, and the EOE twist was dumb. I nearly gave up on the season at one point. Devens getting back in the game was the turning point, and he alone made the season what it was.

But I admit that same thing could be said about most seasons. They all start out kind of boring until the cast figures each other out, and we get to know the cast.

Anyone believe Lauren would have received any votes in finale, if she had made it in place of lady that did?

Couldn't agree more. Devens made it what it was. I didn't always like him but he was by far the best player in the game and had some fun with it. I foresee him on another season.

Depends on who Lauren replaces.

If she's next to Gavin and Julie she probably gets 4 or 5.

If she's up against Devens, maybe 1 from Kelley.

I'm dreading next season. Sandra is the worst winner ever and 2x at that. Beyond annoying. And Boston Rob? Great, now I get to watch these two "coach" or give advice to a new tribe? Fuuuuuuuuu......


Bring back a real coach.

You aren't lying, she has to be the worst winner in the show's history and she won it twice, how?? . I remember her first season, she flew way under the radar. Not excited about this format but I will tune in to see how it goes.

Her first season came down to her vs. Lil because they only did two in the finals.

Anyone else on that season (Fairplay, Rupert, Andrew Savage, Darrah, even Burton) crushes her in a final.

And her second season came down to Sandra vs. Parvati (also a previous winner) vs. Russell. No one voted for Russell because everyone hated him.

I actually think the worst winner was Natalie in Russell's first season.

What "advice" these 2 going to give next season? They can't betray people.

I'll always hate Sandra because she beat the GOAT, Parvati.
