I was traveling for three weeks, and _just_ finished catching up on Survivor. So much good stuff in the last few episodes! I still can’t believe anyone bought Devens’ fake tribal council idol gambit. He sold it brilliantly, and it kept him around for at least two votes. And a good move eventually owning up to the ruse, IMO. Glad we’re done with Coach’s bullshit. He was entertaining up to a point, but the shtick got old fast. Chrissy was collateral damage, but I didn’t care about her one way or the other. The way Christian went out was brutal, but also damned entertaining. I’d definitely heard of Mr. Beast, and knew what his claim to fame was, but I’d never actually seen him before. I was surprised that he seemed like a humble, soft-spoken sort of guy; I expected some brash loudmouth. I may check out some of his videos now. I could definitely imagine the whole coin-flip thing going badly: nobody wanting to do it, drawing rocks, getting the call wrong, and someone is ousted without a vote and half the tribe is angry about it. But Devens’ gleeful abandon, along with outcome of the toss, transformed it into a moment of joy for the whole tribe. I loved watching that! --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/survivor-50-all-stars/1027920)._
