Survivor Finale - 12/14

Well the vote that Jeff had the Jury take - if Lill had picked Jon - would have given Lill the $1 million. But you’re right, Jon was cunning, and he could have been very convincing at tribal council. The girls just didn’t have very good final speeches, it would have been an interesting finish if it were Jon vs. Lill.

Lill is gutsy, spunky, cloying. . . and STUPID! If she really wanted to win, she would clearly have taken Jonny Fairplay into the final two. I’m happy Sandra won. If it couldn’t have been Rupert, Sandra is an OK choice.

Sandra was excellent during the Q&A session. I’m so happy that the “evil” player didn’t win this year.

Lill took the moral high ground and lost because of it. I couldn’t be happier. She voted Jon out because she couldn’t deal with bringing him to the final two. Then at the reunion, Jeff asked the jury to cast their votes for Lill or Jon (assuming she’d voted Sandra out instead) and Lill won that vote. She chose to play a bullshit game and she lost. Hooray. Long live Jonny Fairplay.

I’m glad Lil did what was right, versus what would have been easy. Even if she didn’t know it. SHe may have lost $900,000 but she gained some respect back from America, and the potential for some self respect. Had she taken Jon with her she would have felt like crap after viewing the episodes in hindsight.

“We are what they call the two sole survivors!” (Lillian Morgan, being the only Lillian she knows how to be)

Anyone else get a flashback to Brenden Fraser in Airheads? You’re called the “Lone Rangers?” There are three of you! :smiley:

I’m very happy that Sandra took it - I’ve liked her since day one. I still liked Darrah better (and she would have nailed that last challenge), but I’m still happy with the results.

And did I hear Lil say she never lost it or got over emotional? Honey I haven’t heard wailing and moaning like her’s since I came off the fertility hormones!

Glad Sandra won - would have been just as happy with Darrah, but oh so happy that it’s not Jon.

I was wondering about this because he is asking everyone this question about it after they have all watched the shows and without the question and answer session involving Jon. Jon might have won simply because he was a good player and the people respected him for it.

During the reunion I almost had to mute the TV while Lill talked. Besides talking about herself in third person, she kepy yapping about the Scouts and that whining voice of hers. Argh!!!

I think Jon would’ve answered the Q&A questions a lot better and could’ve gotten one other vote just because he is a better speaker than Lill. Say what you like about Jon, but he was clearly playing the game better than Lill and had he made it to the final 2 instead of Sandra, would’ve been more deserving of win.

I was disappointed Darrah didn’t make the final three, but she really dug her own grave; she didn’t handle that conversation with Lill right at all.

I’m satisfied with Sandra winning. She wasn’t a tagalong and she wasn’t a prick. This is another validation of the “fly under the radar” strategy that has already worked for Tina, Ethan and Jenna (didn’t watch Marquesas or Thailand, so maybe it worked there too).

Yikes, me too. If I had to hear her talk about the scouts again, I thought I’d puke. She just blew it in the openning speach to the jury-- lecturing them instead of building herself up.

When will these guys learn that IT’S A FREAKIN’ GAME!!

You are supposed to lie and cheat.

I missed the first hour. What was the last immunity challenge? And ** Fiver **, what happened with the conversation with Darrah and Lil?

Thank God it wasn’t Lil that won. I seriously had to refrain from throwing my remote at the tube when she started stating why SHE deserved the million bucks. I’m pretty sure I would be bringing in my 1300$ tv to get fixed tommorow if she had won the game.

Funny thing though, it takes a lot to get me angry :slight_smile:

The last immunity challenge was the three of them balancing on floating wood boxes in the ocean. They could not let their bottoms or knees touch. Sandra lost her balance fairly fast and was out. Jon kept trying to make a deal with Lill but she would not go along with it and won the challenge.

The challenge before that when it was down to 4 was a question and answer session pitting the 4 players against each other and the jury. The jury won the challenge so no one had immunity. The question were multiple choice such as the first one: For fire, the one component you don’t need is A) Friction, B)Fuel, C) Air or D) Fuel. First to five won and it was the jury.

The conversation between Lill and Darrah consisted of Lill asking Darrah if she would take Lill to the final two with her and Darrah refused to give an asnwer saying she didn’t want to think about it. Lill was asking her in front of Jon and I think Darrah didn’t want to make promises to Lill in front of Jon. When Darrah left camp, the discussed how Darrah was the greatest physical threat and should be next to go.

The constant, unending, eternal mentions of the Scout Uniform were killing me. When she rambled on to Burton’s question saying how she knew that you had to boil whater for 30 minutes etc, etc, etc and Burton finally cut her off, my wife and I almost died laughing. We started to wonder if she really had finally lost it.

Cool, thanks ** The Long Road ** :slight_smile:

I agree, she first says “oh I played the game honestly, not like everyone else, blah blah” then Johnny Fairplay asks her about how she represented the scouts and she replies with “oh they’re not represented at all, out here there’s no place for integrity, or values, blah blah” God she’s such a dumbass.

This season of Survivor is so unfair in some ways, bringing back the Outcasts, having the JURY win immunity (?!?! WTF) and not to mention those challenges where you “pick” the winner therefore invalidating any real challenge based on personal skill alone.

I hope they fix it next time, I really want to see these people win the game because they deserve to, not because CBS altered their fates with the above-stated B.S.

I had to guffaw during the questions/speeches portion when Lil said that she sometimes wondered if Sandra was able to make any decisions on her own. Excuse? If I were to pick a mantra for Lil, it would have to be, “Tell me what you want me to do, and I’ll do it.” Nitwit.

Yeah! Sandra won! Whoo!

Sandra was my dark-horse favorite, ever since I saw her audition video, and later her shopping spree at the village. I can’t help but respect a tough-as-nails, self-sufficient person like her. You go, girl!

After the hostile jury questions towards Lil, it wasn’t a big suprise that Sandra won. I was surprised that the jury had such a uniformly dim view of Lil. I definitely wasn’t expecting a 6-1 sweep.

Well, just for mention, CBS was sued over the first survivor because of the producer giving the jury instructions about voting with their conscience which one contestant felt unfairly swayed the results and during Survivor: Africa, Kim Johnson answered an immunity challenge question incorrectly but was mistakenly given credit for it so should not have won immunity. Due to this, Tom Buchanan and Lex van den Berghe were given $100,000 each since it is very possible that without this mistake either one would have been in the final two. Anyway, so in at least two Survivors, some form of intervention possibly kept someone from winning.
What I really hate is when they switch tribes members. I realize the need to try and make the game fair when one side is bashing the other but it just seems lame.
