I will agree with many that this was a pretty boring season. We only saw one really big move, Danny's, and that painted a target so big on his back nobody else would dare try to repeat it. Danny is about 10 seasons to late on his gameplay unfortunately.

Heidi tried really hard I will give her that, but she was far to little far to late. She tried to play that idol at one point and got zero votes that tribal council, which shows how out of tune she was with the game itself. She won the final immunity, grats, and I will give her props for building the fire. But like I said, this was to little to late. You can't float and then press down on the gas at the final 4. I honestly could not remember who was who between Jamie, Lauren and Heidi.

Combine this with her plan at the final tribal to throw everyone else under the bus while shamelessly plugging her diversity as an accomplishment and the reason she should get votes... while sitting next to an openly gay Puerto Rican immigrant... lol

I honestly though Carolyn was the odds favourite to win going in, but Yam Yam definitely did a better job selling himself at the final tribal council. I actually thought he played really well and deserved the win. He was very likeable but at the same time had a very intense side that he would flare up when necessary to smoke out peoples plans then bat his eyes and play the lamb role when necessary to let the 'strategic threats' feel comfortable.

Carolyn did this even better though, which made me very surprised nobody voted for her. I honestly felt we might for once have a pretty close split vote between Carolyn and Yam Yam. She was the most under rated player in Survivor history I think. I have a hard time believing she won't be back at some point if she wants it.

Overall it was a meh season, I am happier with the outcome than say someone like the three floaters winning. I do wish Carson could have taken it as he was probably the most deserving on the cast with his strategic play, physical play, puzzles, preparation etc.. etc.. but that is in the inherent flaw with this game now. You can dominate the game to the end but you lose one fricken challenge and Floater McFloaterson comes in and decides your fate. HUUUUUGE flaw. I am not sure how they fix it, but it needs to go away.

I am also a sucker like everyone else and will keep watching, but I am really holding out hope that Season 50 has something big for us. I am hoping they do something like pick 50 players and let the fans vote on who shows up or something. it could still be a secret because you just don't reveal the results to us and them go film.

But the reality is that this show is more concerned with appearing to be 'on trend' than casting an entertaining group of players. I haven't watched AUS but you guys talking about it just reiterates the fact that this is really an American thing and probably isn't going away any time soon.

Is there any legal way to watch AUS seasons?
