Natalie deserved to win out of the final five, but I think Keith also deserved it. He did it all by himself, I know his social game sucked, but he was a constant threat in challenges and how often do we say that about a 53 year old man?
At the end of the day the right person won. I also agree about Natalie growing up without her twin. She was a lot easier to take this season on her own, and although I still find her quite smug, I could actually stand her.
I think there is an argument to be made for Jaclyn, we watched her and John bicker back and forth about every decision they made. And they made what, 3 ? game changing votes in a row. That has to count for something. I think that sometimes people get tunnel vision and only focus on the fresh wounds that happen close to the end. If you take a step back and look at the big picture then Jaclyn actually played a good game. Reed, who appears to be one of the biggest fans of the show, saw this and gave her his vote. Jaclyns mistake was not making her role in everything more public and giving John all the face time with the wheeling and dealings.
Jeremy seemed bitter at the final tribal and at the reunion. He seems to think himself a master of the game and to me it seems like he blames his mistakes on plays made by others. Jeremy, Keith isn't built for this game? How come he lasted what, 6 or 7 more votes than you did? How many individual immunities did you win? People say that he wasn't voted out because he wasn't a threat, bullcrap. Bullcrap I say! Sometimes playing to fast to hard is a mistake in Survivor, Jeremy made that mistake and he should own it.
Overall the season gets a 6.5/10 because of the finale. Reed's speech was awesome, there were a lot of subtle things I picked up on in the edit that he nailed on the head.. although I wish he could have directed some of it to the brat that is Baylor.
