Survivor Brains vs Brawn vs Beauty - Feb 26

[Cheese]

puxlut and trackercrowe both booted off the island with Trish's dismissal last night.

Basically, it boils down to Woo vs Spencer for the final 3

I like Spencer and hope the guy can make it, but for Kass or Tony to win, they'd have to take Woo with them. Then they can paint Woo as a passenger. A guy who rode coat tails and isnt deserving of a win for not playing the game

Spencer is too likable and pretty much has a few guaranteed votes on the Jury (Tasha, Sarah, Jeremiah and Morgan)

[Otto-matic]

This season setup is strange, don't they usually do the 6th castaway as the last Wednesday night boot - then they do the 5/4 boots in the first hour of the 2hour finale.

Think this season they'll go back to a final 2? I can't see them blowing an hour on one boot.

I bet the next tribal is a doozy, which is what we will see in the first hour.

Or that final tribal is a doozy. The tribals this season have been entertaining.

[Parallex]

I think it's a final two... Probst tells people when the last opportunity to use a hidden immunity idol is at tribal and he didn't this last one, I don't think they'll let someone just HII themselves into the final vote.

My guess on what happens...

Spencer wins immunity, Jeff reveals that it's a final two, Tony plays the idol, Woo goes, Tony wins final immunity, Spencer goes, Kass/Tony final two... Tony wins.

It's been such a great season... I could see three future contestents coming from this season on a future all-star cast (Tony, Spencer, Kass).

Tony can't play his idol anymore. All he can do it pretend that he can use it and try to coerce them not to vote for him.

My only explanation for Tony voting Trish out last night is he wanted to show Woo that he has been solid with him the entire time and Woo has always been his #1 guy. Additionally, I feel that If Spencer makes it to final tribal council he has the win in the bag, so Tony wanted to keep Woo around for a better chance at beating Spencer in the final challenge. A final of Tony, Woo, and Kass (assuming that it is a final 3 and not final 2) I think Tony wins.

Oh no question... the Jury hates Kass she won't get a single vote. Woo might get a nice guy vote or two but if anyone other then Spencer is in at the end Tony wins.

[D to the iddy]

In previous seasons, they head in to the final episode with 4 people left for a Final 2 and 5 people left for a Final 3. I would assume that is what happening this year as well. I think Spencer wins Immunity and Kass/Woo goes, then Tony gets booted at Final 3. Slam dunk win for Spencer.

I definitely missed that part. Thanks for pointing it out. I went back and just looked at it, as I didn't really believe it, but you are indeed correct. I wonder if he's going to try and say that he didn't vote for Trish, as they didn't show the final vote.

To the posts after my last one, don't the contestants know whether it's a final 2 or 3 from the beginning? I've tried searching, but I can;t find anything concrete. That's a huge curveball to throw at them near the end, but maybe that's what they want. The last nine seasons have used a final three, and 13 of the last 15 have used a final three. Of the two that went to a final two, JT beat Stephen 7-0 and Parvati beat Amanada 5-3. I think Survivor has been risking having a deadlocked final vote for way too long, unless they are trying to get one. Having a final two and having 8 people vote seems ridiculous unless you want a deadlock. It's been seven season since we've seen a close final vote. The rest were blowouts.

Dammit, I just realized I will be working next week during the finale and hour long aftershow. Anyone know if the aftershow ends up on Shaw VOD?

[GreenLantern]

Pretty sure that Global has it up on their website after?

[Cheese]

I'm sure its a final 3...that hasn't changed in years now and don't see it happening now.
There will be one more challenge and that will wean one player out and leave the final 3 to go on their long walk burning the memories of past players.
IF Spencer or Tony wins immunity they are likely your winner

[Cheese]

Finale tonight....and um, don't listen to what I said above....oops

[Cheese]

Great finale...great jury lol holy ####....

[Matty81]

Glad Kass didn't win but I was cheering for Woo in the end, probably a dumb move but I liked his loyalty in the end, too many greaseballs usually.

Spencer shouldn't have made that stump speech, I like him but that was too much - people on the jury shouldn't be allowed to jump in and argue to the other voters, thought it was unfair and with so many undecideds I feel like he won it for tony.

[Cheese]

Blood vs Water 2 next season.

Loved Spencer's speech..he was 100% correct and the right guy won, he swayed a jury that was riding emotion and not their brains. Woo rode coat tails the entire game and Survivor isn't a marshal art. Outwit, Outplay, Outlast. Tony was best.

[WhiteTiger]

Man, can't actually watch it until Friday morning/afternoon, but couldn't wait to see who won. Woo hoo!

[KootenayFlamesFan]

My random thoughts:

- I'll never get sick of watching the final tribal and seeing all the butthurt jury members get ticked off at the final 2 or 3 for basically playing a better game.

- I didn't like Tony getting raked over the coals for swearing on his family or dead father or his badge. It's a freakin' game. People lie all the time and say things to sway votes all the time. That was season 28......if you're playing the game and you still don't understand that then it's your own fault.

- Loved Spencer's speech to give kudos to Tony. He was 100% right, and as Cheese said there were so many jury members that were fired up on emotion it was good to see someone call it the way it was........Tony was easily the better choice out of the two. No contest.

- Loyalty is neat and all, but Woo made a $1 million mistake. I'm glad he feels good about it, but isn't the point of the game to win it all? He would have swept the votes if he took Kass. Idiot.

- I wish Probst would spend less time talking to random audience members at the reunion and spend that time talking to the jury. Didn't talk to the girl who took herself out of the game or Jefra. Would have liked to hear a bit more from everyone who played.

- Good season overall. The right person won in the end. Wish there was a fan vote this season, I think Spencer deserved a few bucks with how he played.

n/m, double post.

[trackercowe]

So I guess next season will be entirely blood vs. water (family vs friends/significant others), as they wanted that last time around, but someone fell out right before filming began.
