I know, I am super late in posting this. You know, the holidays, plus my mom celebrated a big birthday....blah blah. But what a great finale it was! It was a very fun season to watch. My dream final four would have been Woo, Joe, Spencer, and Jeremy. Yes, I was rooting for Spencer to win, but honestly, I knew he wouldn't. He had too many enemies on the jury. I'm just thrilled he made it to the final tribal council. Jeremy played the family/new baby card at exactly the right time. I'm glad he won; obviously he was one of my favorites. The game meant something very different to Jeremy and Spencer. Jeremy wanted to win for the money. Spencer wanted to win for the title. Both wanted redemption for their first time in the game, but so did everyone this season.
I think its interesting that I like Spencer so much, when so many people seem to view him as arrogant and detached. What I like about Spencer is his determination and scrappiness, for lack of a better term (Blogger doesn't like it!) He is a team player and a good strategist, as well as an excellent puzzle-solver. He does not give up. Somehow he went from first on everyone's lips to be voted out, to making it to the finale tribal council.
Thanks for a fantastic season, Survivor and players! And congratulations to Jeremy and his family!

Survivor Second Chances
Two weeks - two medical emergencies. These contestants are SERIOUS. They are giving it everything they have, and I think of the six people remaining in the competition, all of them would be deserving of the million dollar prize and title of Sole Survivor - except Kimmie. I like her; I simply don't think she has done enough to win.
Oh happy days, Abi is gone!! Of course I understand the strategy of taking her to the final tribal council, but I did NOT want her there. She does not deserve it, and she is so mean-spirited and difficult. It made my day to see her walk down those stairs after being blindsided. I was worried that Spencer had gone to the dark side and made a final four pact that included Abi and Wentworth, but luckily he didn't, and stayed with Tasha and Jeremy.
I wanted to throw something at my ailing television when Spencer and Jeremy voted with the girls to eliminate Joe. I understand that Joe is a challenge beast, and they needed to get him out. But I was so freaked out that the girls would pick off the guys. If Spencer, Jeremy, and Joe had enlisted Keith's help, instead of letting him flounder off by himself, and if they had managed to get Tasha on their side, they could have gotten Abi out last week, or even voted out Kimmie. Eliminating one of the two would have broken the girls voting block. Then at the beginning of this week's episode, both Jeremy and Spencer were regretting their decision to vote out Joe. DUH!! But luckily, it worked out okay. Spencer won the immunity challenge, Tasha voted with him and Jeremy, and they didn't end up needing Keith, but I think they should still get him on their side.
Joe is one of my favorites, and I was so sorry to see him go. He had a great shot at winning, and he deserved to win. He is so great at challenges, and he's such a good person. I could have slapped Abi for the way she talked about him after tribal council.
ANYTHING can happen in the finale next week. Everyone except Kimmie, and to a certain extent Tasha, are very strong players and can win challenges. Of course I want Spencer to win, and I know he's still a long shot, but his odds have definitely improved greatly. He's very good at puzzles, and his patience and stamina have improved. The person I am most worried about is Wentworth. She has proven her ability to win, and she could easily get Keith into an alliance with her and Kimmie, and maybe pull in Tasha, although hopefully not. The girls often excel at endurance challenges, and she definitely could outlast everyone in such a scenario. If Spencer doesn't win, then I hope Jeremy does, or Keith. I am not rooting for Wentworth, but would give her props if she did, because she is deserving.
