Wow, I really did not like this season much at all, and there were so many people I really did not like at all! I just finished watching last night, but only through the reveal of the winner.
There seemed to me to be more emotional outbursts than in other seasons, to the point where I was questioning the producers’ decision to accept some of them in the game. I was worried about Ben and his panic attacks. And Liz’s outbursts of wailing and yelling and sobbing…. I wondered at one point if she was deliberately being so over the top but then we’d see footage of her sobbing loudly by herself. And why on earth would she go on a show like Survivor with such a restricted diet? And Bhanu…. OMG.
I also thought Jeff was more sadistic than usual in his descriptions of the food that the survivors would be getting in the different reward challenges. I know he always does that but he just seemed over the top to me.
Oh, and it seemed to me that WAY more survivors than usual totally misread the others and were confident to the point of being very smug that they were safe. I could not believe that 4 (or was it 5?) were voted out with an idol in their pocket —in a row! And after being so sure they were in control.
Could not stand Venus —way too smug, Q —OMG so crazy, Liz —I can’t even…And Q was even going on during the final tribal council, saying things that were wrong and everyone was looking at him like he was crazy.
And I found the whole Q-skirt thing bizarre.
Maria made mistakes but I thought she would win it if she got to the end.
Agreed. I honestly don't know how such an emotional person gets through normal, daily life. Maybe he isn't like this normally and Survivor is making him crazy, but
. I can't imagine living with someone like him. And when he was happy that Q wanted him to be the Philip to Q's Rob--WTH? Who wants that? I can't believe they were even thinking of keeping him over Kenzie; she may be a strategic threat, but at least she isn't hysterical 24/7.
I had forgotten about this guy but yes, OMG.
Why isn’t Venus being voted off? That arrogant smirk of hers is so annoying. I’d vote for her very fast my friends!
OMG yes!
LOL that Venus thinks she masterminded Soda's blindside. And how does she EVER think she is going to bring Maria around after this? The problem is that Maria doesn't like the 20-year-old telling her what to do? Who wants anyone telling them what to do? And Q, I could be looking at you here, too.
Yes, yes, yes.
I thought we were done with the whiny tears when Bhanu finally left, ugh. Agree with all of you - she knew going in. And they may be low on rice, but they've had rice, they have fish, and she was on a reward about 5 days earlier with sandwiches and other food. As a member of Nami, she also benefitted from all the rewards that make life at camp easier early on, including food several times.
I thought Jeff said at one point they’d gone 23 days without rice? I don’t remember seeing footage of them cooking any rice. The only rice I remember was some being given specifically to Liz.
Another over confident Survivor smiling at Tribal Council and not using the Idol.
Yes, it was crazy how no one could read the room. Or perhaps it was an exceptional group of liars.
Liz is the biggest threat?
Liz played the hardest game?
What show was I watching because the only thing I can remember about Liz is her whining and complaining most of the time. Maybe its selective memory because I found her annoying? What does she do that she is 'already a millionaire'? I don't always pay attention when they show the little screens of what they do.
Yes, I could NOT believe how Liz was SO SURE she would have won and went on about it a bit.
First time I think I woulda been okay with any of the Final 3 winning. I kinda think Charlie lost it on the 'what will you do with the money' question.
I think so, too. Kenzie had a much better answer ready for that.
Charlie's interviews since the finale have been great but also heartbreaking. He said that he's basically ended the friendship with Maria, because she continues to string him along. Saying she regrets voting for Kenzie, then saying that she doesn't regret it. And even in recent days has been flip flopping on her reasoning. He's given very diplomatic responses saying that their relationship isn't what it could have been, but he wishes her no ill will.
That’s so sad to hear about Maria. I’m glad that Charlie has been diplomatic. I liked him a lot and wish him success in the future in whatever he does.
). Now I understand why Charlie looked so angry.
