I like Ben, but production definitely put that twist to save him. He deserved to win but not in this way. He lost fair and square and should've gone out at 4. I'm glad he won for his family, but there will always be some controversy about this win. I hope they don't do this stuff in the future - Survivor feels less like a competition and more like Big Brother with this kind of stuff.

After last week I didn't think Chrissy would've been able to win the jury over, but I thought her final tribal performance was great and after her immunity run she would've had my vote. Those challenges were fantastic and really tough, I definitely respected her after she won them.

Devon made a really great move at final 5, that was the true big move of the season. I wonder if he would've been able to beat Chrissy had he made the final 3, because that was such great gameplay and intuition - he only had 1 person vote for him the entire game and was never voted out. If there was no twist and he won because of this move, I feel like that would've been a better ending for this season.

I thought it was a great season overall but the finale knocks it down from being near the top for me. I get that Ben found a lot of idols and really fits the "big moves" narrative that Jeff has been pushing lately, but this felt wrong.
