Well...I was FINALLY able to find the time and the desire to watch this...and I'm not sure what to think.
Starting out, I felt that as long as the winner was either Mariah, Charlie or Kenzie I'd have been ok with it. Ben was a floater, and Liz was an inflated egomaniac. "If I got to the Final 3 I would have won"...Hahaha...no. Not a chance. Talk about blind to herself.
But I have to be honest with myself. One of the main reasons I watch is...the CP Game. If I wasn't playing with you folks, I likely wouldn't be watching Survivor anymore, ESPECIALLY after it bumped up to 1.5 hours (and seems content to stay there).
I find that the forced diversity in casting has led to casts that are not interesting at all to watch and, as has been said several times here, leads to a rewarding of feelings over gameplay.
Kenzie played an ok game, and she did own it. But it's not like Charlie wasn't social at all. His 'open door' policy was a fantastic play, and I wish he'd been able to make more of it. He SHOULD have won this season.
Ben winning the final Immunity challenge (which I did like) was an eye-roller to me. The ONLY possible shot he would have had is if he'd made Kenzie and Charlie go to fire-making against each other, and then hoped that whoever won of that tripped flat on their face with the jury, stuttering through every answer. He and Liz would not have gotten a single vote any which way it was sliced.
The little blurb for Season "forty several" has me wondering. It SEEMS like a lot of players are there to actually PLAY. Except for that one guy who was all about not being an outdoors type.
Guess we'll see. Season Forty-Several may be the last Survivor I watch. And I've seen them all.
