i was a little disappointed, but it was no surprise as to who came back into the game. that seemed like a tough challenge!

i do think sarah made a huge mistake in that vote......have not read any spoilers/

havent enjoyed a survivor season this much in a number of years!

these are definitely some masters at work.

my favorite of the past few weeks has not changed.......GO TONY!!!

Please don't take this wrong. I love strong women (Solidarity Sisters and the whole nine yards!) and I think in many ways men have had the upper hand in many of life's circumstances. HOWEVER..even though Jeff played his role in the "women are treated differently" story (only calling men by their last name?

C'mon, who really cares about something so trivial?). Last year's removing of the player who couldn't keep his hands to himself was valid, but I didn't think Sarah's story tonight held much truth. Honestly, as a woman, it made me cringe a little. 

In less than one minute Sarah took away, maybe without even realizing it--the epic wins and props of strong women like Parvati, Sandra, Natalie, Kim, Amber--and I know I'm leaving many out--who won by outwitting, outplaying, and outlasting just as well any of the men did. And, at least for me, I never looked at them as being a B (itch), or anything morally less that any of the male winners for how they played the game.

I'm all for pointing out a gender bias when there really is one but I'm not for using my gender as an excuse for anything. Honestly, despite the jury's comments of "I'm so proud of her" I was actually a little embarrassed (for women) by her comments, and had I been a male, I would have felt like I was being undermined. It's like she was setting the jury up for being guilted into voting for anyone other than a female. 

If a woman is going to win fair and square I'm all for it. I'll celebrate that the only two-time winners of Survivor are female. Just don't give it to her because she's a woman...make her earn it. Make it worth celebrating! 

Adding after watching Sarah cry in final tribal about her love for Tony...how can I not love her, lol. 

And Tony just won the fire making challenge! The emotion is overwhelming. Cops R Us should have gone to the end. Michele is this season's goat (imo). 

It's now a fight between Natalie and Tony. 

*I know this post was pretty opinionated. I hope I didn't offend anyone.

Great post, Susie!  Maybe not everybody will but I totally agree and well said!!!!

absolutely LOVED that standing ovation by the jury......too bad sandra decided not stick it out to be there in tribute.

Poor Michelle having to sit there watching as she got no votes. Kudos to Tony. He earned the win. I thought Natalie had a shot with the jury, but not to be.

I'm glad.  By quitting she doesn't get to be called The Queen anymore )

Interesting. Jeff said Survivor will be back in the fall and encouraged teenagers to apply. Maybe they are taping it in America or in a studio?

YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!

so happy with the results......it was no surprise to me that michele did not get one vote.

i thought that it MIGHT have been just a bit closer, but tony played every single aspect of the game.....he forgot nothing. natalie is a beast, but she did not.

really missed hearing from everyone in a post game show.

4 immunities

(Natalie only went to one tribal, Tony went to every)

and the blind haha

YAYYYYYYY!

(and so much fun watching without the stress of worrying & wondering
