Rich Won... Now What?

Richard won this Survivor game. Personally, I would be disgusted if it were anyone but Rudy. What are your thoughts on this finale? Do you think it was right?

For whom would you have voted?

Shouldn’t have done that… spoiler next time please

Arrgg! [the rest of this message was deleted because it revealed who the winner was. Sorry, but let’s hold off until later, o.k.? If I’m stepping on anyone’s toes, I apologize in advance.]

Bah, no one ever votes for the chick. Damn guy…

I hid the name of the winner until the west coast feed was done. Yeah, I know they haven’t seen it in Hawaii yet, but they ain’t gonna get my sympathy. :slight_smile:

Now can we all move on with our lives? I’m sure there’s another silly fad just around the corner for y’all…

Sorry, I hate reality TV. And I’m really really sick about hearing about it (though for a while I was happy that it took Millionare out of the news).

Now I’m going to bang my head against the wall for several minutes for saying that his annoyance factor wiped out any chance of him winning. Wait…oh, whew, I didn’t bet any money on the outcome. Never mind. (Sorry, it’s been kinda crazy for me this evening…)

FINAL FOOTNOTE: I really hope Susan and Kelly can patch things up. I mean, neither of them acted very honorably, but that was their choice, and I don’t see why either should carry a damn grudge. It’s like the end of the NHL playoffs. You played hard and beat the hell out of each other, but it’s over now, so just shake hands and relax.

LAST FINAL FOOTNOTE: “In 2000, ONE VOTE gave Richard Hatch a million dollars and a new car.” Coming soon to a list near you! :smiley:

I dont think Rich is that bad of a guy, I think the CBS footage editors just portrayed him worse than he was. I think Kelly was just as manipulative as Rich but kept low under the radar (till the end, of course). I however would have liked Rudy to win, the guy is funny as hell, honest from what I can tell, and says it like it is.

I agree with you. I hated Richard throughout the show, but at least he was openly slimy, so I’ve got to at least admire his honesty. Kelly, on the other hand, was lying about her alliance, playing both sides of the fence to save her ass. It was acting out of desparation to win. Richard just played it smarter, but I still thought she would win since everyone hated Richard.

After seeing Richard on the reunion and on the Early Show today, I don’t think he’s a bad guy at all. He actually seems to be a nice guy. Who knew??

I still love Rudy. His candor just tickles me!
