Very much so.

I'm used to being in the minority with my opinions and taste, and I love it here :)

Nooooooooooooo.  We need to go back to one hour episodes and a three hour finale.  That’s how it ever was, and how it should ever be.

Did Sue get any votes?  Lost track.

No.  Rachel got everyone but Kyle, who voted Sam.

That replay of Andy tells me that he needs to keep his island weight up, he looks way better now. He also appears to have gained confidence along the way. 

As for Kyle voting for Sam, I don't know why I get this feeling but I kind of knew he wasn't going to vote for a woman. I wonder what he would have done if Sam had been the final juror and he had to choose between 3 women. 

This mini format for the after show probably means they won't delve into the Sue grudge against Kyle, that's too bad. 

[Grizzly]

Interesting, Rachel is the only one not drinking champagne. The game's over, don't have to worry about loose lips. Looking at you, Teeny.

Agree. And I’d love it if they went back to season one with no idols, advantages, twists, turns or making fire at the end. 

[Pepper the Cat]

I miss the 1 hour reunion that occurred after everyone could watch the episodes.

Oh God. Enough of Andy. Should have been gone in ep 1.

There was an interview with all the jury members before the show and one of the questions was "which of the pre-jury contestants do you wish was at Ponderosa" and Jon Lovett was the answer from most of them, including Sierra. I was like....uh, that coulda been arranged if not for that decision to keep Andy along as a pet goat.

I don't know that Probst delves into stuff that castaways might be unaware of.  I'm sure Kyle heard about Sue's daily tirades against him but he might not be aware exactly of what went down, so I'd be surprised if Probst brought it up.

Plus, Jeff is all about making this era of Survivor nice and drama-free.

Good!

And?  She still earned it.  She played those advantages in ways that still impressed the jury, not had them thinking that they were the only things on which she relied.  That was all that mattered.

And where in any of my comment did I say she didn't earn her win? My point was that the end of the season might have fizzled for some because it very quickly became so obvious who would win.

Teeny says she's sorry for aging anyone by saying she was born the year Survivor came out (no offense taken!) but I liked how the camera panned to Sue when she said that.

I don't think that's why he voted for Sam. Kyle talked a lot about being an underdog himself and I think he probably genuinely admired Sam being at the bottom and clawing his way to the end.

I wish they could do a live reunion show for S50.  At least make an exception for that season since it's a big milestone and is returning players.

I snorted at Sierra's open-mouthed shock at that, as if she's all that much older than Teeny.

Sue was on her 3rd face job by then.

[Lantern7]

“Rome who?”

[mojoween]

I’m confused why they are going on so about Teeny’s age when she isn’t even the youngest person to play the game.

[susannot]

OK, I love a dominant female winner.  Thanks Rachel.

[Lantern7]

That one lady looks like she’s got two nails going into her nose.

Chocolate milk gives you muscles? Got-damn! Also, I hope the lady on the spectrum doesn’t let me down.

Tonight was relatively boring after the last 2 epic highs, especially the aftershow so I’m glad it was short. 48 looks good, except for the stop medical. Merry Christmas everyone and hope to see you all next year. Hope some of you watch Australia v world next month. Thanks for watching with me ♥️

[Brown44]

The Asian woman's family seems fun.

Hopefully that's what Probst says anytime he calls asking to come back.

[Straycat80]

It was great snarking with you all this season. Catch you all for season 48. Although I am already side eyeing some of those new players they showed in the preview.

I'm definitely tuning in to that!

[Pepper the Cat]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year all from Pepper the Cat and the two dudes. 

[Lantern7]

Off to watch The Challenge. See y’all in February! I think!

Are people that are awkward claiming to be on the spectrum when sometimes your just an awkward person?

They're actually on the spectrum, no doubt, because they were diagnosed.  I'm on it myself and know that I was diagnosed to be as such way back when I was thirteen (though I'm forty now).

I’m from Chicago burbs myself. Watermelon in the summer time is a huge mealtime staple. Maybe not pineapple though.

I think it would be unusual for an apparently middle class American 25+ to never have had watermelon anywhere. But it's easier for me to conceive of a Midwesterner not having done so than, say, a Southerner.

Wait they get knives and flint to PRACTICE?  Oh where oh where has my Survivor gone.

The have had this practice stuff from the very first time the fire challenge was introduced as in for years and years now.

2 hours ago, dizzyd said:

Sue would have won at fire, she does it all the time, evidence soot face. I think Sam is playing dumb, I’m not buying he didn’t practice, I think he’s going to beat T at fire. 

Adding wood to a fire is not MAKING at fire.  Anybody can add wood to a fire.  Only Sue could get sooty doing it is all.

Hopefully they've learned we don't need 3 hour finales.

CBS asked Survivor's producers to give them an extra episode this season so they decided on a 4 hour finale with part 1 and part 2 broadcast on different nights as a result.  So now we have 4 hour finales.

And when sitting in the final three (politely letting her have her moment) was Sam, also 24.
