[Lantern7]

Just end it already!!!

[Mindthinkr]

Moved my thoughts over here. Anxious to see who wins. 

[LadyChatts]

Ryan looks miserable.  He knows he lost.  Ben looks sad and nervous.  

Probst was sure glowing of Chrissy.

[vb68]

Ben looks exactly the same.

[ChicksDigScars]

Deysi looks amazing, again.

Lol yes. I’m glad I didn’t set it to lock at 10 because I didn’t expect the episode to go to 10:20

[Maverick]

 So, Peachy....bad makeup, bad lighting or has he had work done since the island?

[Lantern7]

Read the damn votes, Probst! Wel, at least all three cleaned up nicely.

She always does. I wonder if she'll get a contract for skin care. Hers is flawless. 

[sally-can-wait]

I wish Chrissy would remove her hand from Ben's knee.

[mojoween]

Chrissy got one sad little woo when Jeff introduced her and that gives me life.

[LadyChatts]

Just glad this season is over.  I don't care who wins.  

[Artsda]

Happy for Ben! 

[LadyChatts]

Wow, there was no tie!!!!  That's what's been speculated all season.  Somehow I feel cheated lol

Oh, and Ben won.

Edited December 21, 2017 by LadyChatts

[sally-can-wait]

Meh.

[RandomWatcher]

Ben wins, surprising.

[Lantern7]

Ultimate Ben Bomb. We can put this season behind us.

[Daisy]

ugh. ben. whatever. 

[Michichick]

Thank God it wasn't Chrissy.

[MissEwa]

UUUUGH. 

At least a tie would have been interesting. 

[Mindthinkr]

The grown ass kid of mine is going nuts again. 

[ChicksDigScars]

Damn. I wanted to see what would happen with a tie. I know they said it last season, but I still wanted to see. 

[Deputy Deputy CoS]

REDEEEMED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So happy Chrissy LOST!
 

Oh yeah. Congratulations Ben.

[ElleryAnne]

Well, good finale after a meh season.  I'm happy for Ben.  At least he seemed genuine.

[mojoween]

I do still hate her but that blue dress is stunning.  

Ok of those three he was the one who was the most palatable, I guess, but I don’t feel good about it.

Pay your taxes, Ben!

[Lantern7]

Dang, Mrs. Ben is tall.

[MissEwa]

I would have been okay with that on the basis of the whole 'they shouldn't have left him alone to idol-hunt' thing but for the fact that he should never have been in the F3.

That's where all the speculation started, too.  Wonder why Probst even brought it up last season.

Well, Ben had production help, but those guys were idiots to not tail him.  That's a true million dollar mistake.

[iMonrey]

Well that was some 100% grade A bullshit right there. Talk about rigged. Advantage? The producers helped Ben win all the way.

[vb68]

Meh winning. Feels very manipulated.

I did call it weeks ago when they showed Ben's PTSD from the Marines. It was so obviously a winner's edit.

[Nedsdag]

I've never thought I would ever say this about this show, but this was the night that Survivor jumped the shark.

Goodnight, all!

[Lantern7]

Chrissy was a Hero? How?? I'm not being snarky . . . I never kept track.

Edited December 21, 2017 by Lantern7

[me5671]

Man, this season was underwhelming.  So glad it's over.  I'm happy for Ben and he was the most likeable of the final 3 IMO, but the way he won feels so UNDESERVED to me.  I can't believe that twist is coming back next season too.  Yikes.  

[Daisy]

Honestly, i get the majority of people here hate Chrissy but I do think she played a good game. i just don't think playing a majority of idols to save your butt = strong game play. but i will always say the winner always deserves to win  so congrats Ben. 

 

(though i i really think the producers really did some mojo here. extra idols, and that stupid twist).

Edited December 21, 2017 by Daisy

[MerBearHou]

I am elated!  I realllllllllly did not want Chrissy to win.  Ben hustled and worked and blindsided and deserves the Survivor win.  It's not what we do in everyday life, but it's what we do in Survivor and he should be commended for it.  Against all odds and so few in his corner, he SURVIVED.

Ohh, why bother with a reunion. 

 

It’s halfway thru the hour 

Edited December 21, 2017 by mythoughtis

[LadyChatts]

Ben's getting a particularly long reunion show package.  This is a season long recap.  Wonder if they won't be talking to him again?

Yes. I remember we all gave it the side-eye at the beginning of the season.

Yes.   Because she had a kid.  And went back to work.   Look for her in Infinity Wars 2.

[Straycat80]

Ok Ben congrats! Just glad Chrissy and Ryan didn’t win. Someone, I think Chrissy, said if Ben made F3 he’d win, she was right.

Yes. For quitting her high paying job to be stay at home mom.

[LadyChatts]

So Survivors most likely to return from this season: Ben, Chrissy, Devon, Joe, Lauren, possibly Ryan and Cole.  Probst gave high marks to Jessica, Ali, Patrick, and Alan returning, too.

[Mindthinkr]

Did anyone ever figure out what that patch on Ben's shoulder was?

LOL, thanks for the laugh to finish off the night.

It really does feel like they are doing their best to phase them out.

What's the point of even having a live audience for 40 minutes?

Looked like a bandage to me.
