Read all the comments, a lot that I wanted to say has already been said. But I am saying it again anyway because this was so bad I have to vent.

Weak season, with a weak finale. I can't believe that Xander doesn't get one vote. I truly think this was a bitter jury that was but hurt about getting out played by someone so much younger than them. I think that they put on a brave face at tribal council, but people like Shan that have just been spewing toxic venom this whole season don't stop after getting voted out.

This seemed like a jury to me that almost convinced themselves that Erika was the stronger player and voted for her purely out of resentment for Xander. By that I don't mean that Erika played a bad game, but it was not a better game than Xander, period. Not enough for 7 people to think so anyway. Either that or we got a very horrible, horrible edit. Erika was invisible for a good chunk of the season, she got dragged along on a tribe that always won. She would have been that 'easy vote' early on if her tribe lost as she was completely powerless and unable to do anything about that.

That isn't a strong player. She was able to hold on because she was never a threat and then gain some traction from the bottom, absolutely, but it was a classic case of striking while the lions were fighting each other. Does it deserve credit? Yes. Does it make you a better player than them? No.

Xander literally was in Erika's shoes, but on the losing tribe, and still managed to survive and find power in this game, seize it and use it for his own purpose THROUGH OUT THE ENTIRE GAME!!!! One of the best moves at Survivor tribal ever was Xander and his fake idol.

They want to say he wasn't socially aware? He actually was socially aware, he was aware that the jury was 'woke' and would value more than just Deshaun's gameplay at the final jury, so he chose to send him to fire to try and send him home. He knew he was a bad fire maker. He was aware enough to know that he couldn't hand Erika that 'hero' moment so he took her with him to try and stay ahead. Was he unable to read how powerful Erika's game was? OR was it really as weak as we saw and he was just the victim of a bitter angry jury? I would say more likely the latter.

His mistake was discovering how bad Erika was at fire making and not sending her up against Deshaun. I actually think to solidify his win, as the best fire maker on the tribe, he should have stepped in and sent Erika or Deshaun home himself. As we saw that other guy do who won seasons ago in what was also a bad season. If he pulled that move, and he could have confidently done so, there would have been no question.

Also Shan telling Deshaun he is emotionally immature was hilarious. Shan you are a control freak who loses her #### every time someone disagrees with her or doesn't do what she says. You are a horrible person. The end.

I really wish Ricard would have just won, then I could be happy with the result at least. I'm happy for Erika as a person, but as far as the game play and result goes this seems like a fitting end for what has been one of the worst seasons of Survivor ever.
