OK, I need to ask this, because I needs to be asked: HOW IN THE HOLY FUCK DID ANY OF THESE PEOPLE GET PAST THE PSYCH SCREENING? These people are all completely batshit insane. Jesus Christ. I am starting to think that the smartest person ever to play “Survivor” is the person who dropped out the night before the game started.
Alex was totally off his meds. You don’t ask someone a question and then shout over them while they’re answering.
But Leesi was the most embarrassing. She had a shit load of time to think of some smart questions to ask, and the only thing she could think to ask was how many digits are there in 1 million? And THEN look around to see if Dreamz’s answer was correct? I’m not feeling a whole lot of love towards Dreamz right now, but he earned a point when he said “What is this? You think I’m STUPID?”
Yau Man is the classiest player ever
Hard to tell with the editing but Dreamz actually was looking like he thought there was a chance in hell that he’d won. While others were voting, that is.
We won’t be able to confirm until tomorrow, but I believe that this is the first time any Survivor was unanimously elected. Good for him. – Oh, Jeff just confirmed that. Double good!
I wonder how they will decide who officially finished second and who officially finished third when neither Cassandra nor Dreamz received any votes.
And so the curse of the car still stands. Neither the person who won the car nor the person who got the car has taken the million dollars.
SQUEEEL! Earl the Winnah and Yau Man and Gary and Sylvia and all these kewl people are in MY CITY! 
YIIIIKES! Lisi and Rocky and Edgardo are in MY CITY! :eek:
Oh yeah, who gets the hundred grand 2nd-place now?
My predictions of an absolutely wonderful “My question is YOU SUCK!” jury have been fulfilled. Lisi was incoherent. What the hell do Cassandra’s watershoes have to do with anything?
Alex was psychotic. I can definitely believe the police report things having seen that.
Mookie and Edgardo were laser-focused on Dreamz, another fairly predictable thing.
Boo irked me with the whole Christian thing, but that’s his prerogative as a jury member and if he’d had conversations along those lines with Dreamz in the course of the game, I can understand the emphasis.
Rocky was actually kind of low-key, though having him do his 3 minutes tonight made me remember why the first half of this season was so painful.
Yau Man is possibly the classiest contestant to get that far. Love him to pieces!
And Earl looks goooooood cleaned up with adequate nutrition. Damn…I’d forgotten what he looked like at the beginning.
This may be the best season in quite a while, frankly. Even Yul last year didn’t bring the strategizing these folks did.
Police reports?
IN my opinion, Dreamz really screwed himself over by not keeping his word (obviously) but here’s how: He could have been the celebrity “Survivor player who kept his word and gave up a million dollars” instead he lost the million dollars and goes down as a rat. I think there still would have been a potential extension to his 15 minutes had he kept his word. But that’s just me.
Yup, police reports. Apparently he really is an asshole.
CBS had better figure out a way to give Yau Man his million bucks! If they did it for friggin’ Rupert, they can do it for Yau Man!!
Earl cleans up gooood. Mmm!
How about Yau Man and Earl as a team on the next Amazing Race? 
Boy, what a horrible tribal council. I’m just amazed how angry people are when they do the EXACT same thing they are so embittered about. I hope time has tempered their hostility.
I still love Yao, but as I said before Yao doesn’t need the money, he has everything he needs and it’s in his heart and soul. Good for him.
Strangely, I agree with Boo. Boo is an immature (Christian/man) and I was very sad that he chose the path that he did. I hoped that he would keep his word and then maybe win a great endorsement deal. And I don’t believe him when he said that he was playing Earl all along. He looked truly tormented. Either he’s lying or he’s a very good actor and I’m not sure which is worse.
Cassandra never had a chance.
Imagine being an HR person in charge of hiring someone for a job and tomorrow morning Dreamz shows up for an interview…
That would be awesome! But of course they’d end up in 4th place, since my favorite competitors always end up in 4th place.
I think Dreamz sucks for blowing his promise and then not owning up to it. I didn’t buy his explanation that he had planned to do it all along. I think he really planned on keeping his word but then wussed out when he saw how high the stakes were. Can’t say I blame him 100%, but it didn’t take a genius to figure out what was going to happen to him. Why couldn’t he?
I understand why the jury was hard on Cassandra. No one likes an “under the radar” player, and it can’t feel good to lose to someone who’s as unatheletic as she is. But the jury went overboard on her and I hated it. She handled herself gracefully, I think, but goodness. Listening to them, you’d think she was the biggest snake of all (I missed a few episodes towards the end, so maybe I missed her snakery.)
I wanted Yau to win, but I think he was right to accept responsibility for what happened. I believe the deal he struck with Dreamz was almost–dare I say–a sign of cockiness. He said it himself: Dreamz was a wild card, an “out of control” player. So why get in bed with him in such an intimate fashion? It’s like he had temporarily taken for granted the “outwit” part of the game because he had all the other bases covered. Poor Yau, the almost-perfect player. I feel for you, but I can’t say you were a total victim.
I regret having missed the last couple of episodes, but my stupid rabbit ears will only get CBS when the planets and stars line up a certain way.
Thanks, **jayjay ** and Mama Tiger. I hadn’t read that before. It’s certainly not inconsistent with his behaviour out there. In the reunion, I thought he continued in much the same way.
Did Jeff talk to Cassandra at all? I missed a couple of minutes of the reunion, but not much more than that, and I didn’t hear her speak at all.
ETA: I thought it was very sweet of Earl at the end to say that he was giving his mother half of the money he won.
Dreamz HAD to know that reneging on the deal with Yau-man in front of the entire jury was going to cost him dearly. He should have gone to Earl and Yau and promised to uphold his end of the deal if they agreed to vote out Cassandra at F4. Then, he gets to be all noble in front of the jury by handing over the necklace to Yau-man. THAT would’ve won him some votes from the jury, and may have been enough to win had Earl and Yau-man split the remaining votes. (Of course, this is assuming that Yau-man and Earl wouldn’t figure this out and vote Dreamz out after the exchange of the necklace.) But still, it would have been better odds than what he ended up with.
