I know i'm in the minority on this, but I think the reunion works better with some reflection and they all watched the show.

I want to see Mike have to own his edit.

I also miss the pre-jurors  being there.  I know they mostly got ignored, although this season there were some memorable moments there.  But it was nice to see the whole gang together again.

Which makes me wonder, didn't all the Survivors get some reunion fee for being there?  If so, that's a good way to save CBS money by doing it this way.  I know they started this because of COVID, but I can see why it might be here to stay for a while.

Meanwhile Maryanne saying the 40th winner = smart!

Probst probably needed a minute for that to sink in.

Mke polishing his consolation prize. I’d feel bad, but I like Maryanne more.

Just once . . . “I didn’t come here to make friends. Now, if I make friends while I’m winning! Awesome.”

One thing about no Reunion . . . Jackson won’t get brought up.

Maryanne played the better game (and I include the ending pitch to the jury in the gameplay) but what she did even better was sell herself. She sold the jury on her gameplay. Mike had good gameplay. Mike sat in a good position for most of the game. He was apart of most of the strategy and he won the fire making challenge but Mike is not a great talker.

I could argue that Mike also had a winning hand. Mike couldn't sell his good gameplay. What tipped me to Maryanne's side was her ending pitch. She was able to sell me that she outplayed Mike. I was eating out of the palm of her hands by the end of it. Maryanne could've sold me a bridge immediately after.

I don’t remember where I saw it, but Peachy said that reading the votes at the end and then going right to the after show is here to stay.

1000%.  Maryanne is a far better salesperson.  Far better.  She also uses a jillion words to answer questions.

Gosh. Instead of pizza give these people steak and potatoes. And hot fresh buns. With lots of butter. 

Yeah right!  I love pizza, but at this point, I'd take some lobster, crap, maybe some penne, steak w/ a house salad, and maybe a seabreeze with Pinot Grigio, Miller Lite, and Captain Pepsi!

42 seasons, but two people won twice making it 40 individuals who won.

Gotcha! Thanks!

What Merbearhou said (TY!).  Jeff had her clarify for those that though the number was off over the year-long hiatus, but Maryanne pimping the greatness of Sandra & Tony felt unscripted

Why don't they reveal the rest of the votes? Are they trying to spare Romeo and Mike's feelings?

I notice Jonathan and Mike aren't saying a lot.

Mike's too busy stuffing his face.

I thought Jeff said Romeo got no votes?  Maybe I misheard him.  It was when Romeo said he felt like he won even though he didn't get the million.

Yeah, I'll be honest.  When she got completely melted down over Jackson having to be evacuated, I was thinking that there was no way that this girl would have the emotional fortitude to make it through this game.  So I was surprised by the spoiler saying that she'd made the F3 and won.  But as the season went on, I slowly began to see how it was possible and was thrilled to see it all come to fruition!

Well done to Maryanne Oketch!

I still find that moment hysterical.  I mean, Probst barely got any words out as to what was happening and MaryAnne lost it.  I really thought she was going to be super annoying and cry during every vote.  She impressed me.  I can see where she was putting on an act, and also realized she wasn't playing as strong of a game as she thought so she switched gears.  She's really a great winner.  Unlike some more recent winners, I'd say she earned it.
