Alicia is OUT OF HER MIND!! “Miss Puerto Rico,” “We played the same game, I had my pawns, you had your pawns,” and whatever other blabber came out of her mouth all sounded damn ridiculous! Wow. She still really feels as if she would have won the game. Nobody was voting for you, Alicia, sorry.
And, I will take this time to say that what Kat said was poignant and beautiful. Kudos to her and I do wish her the best of luck in her future, regarding her health. I will also say that the point she made was semi-right. As a Jury member, you do not vote based off of hatred. You can’t. You always have to vote who played the best game. I can understand voting out of spite and whatnot, but maybe only one or two people will vote that way. But, for the most part, everyone needs to vote based on who played the best and not vote for someone else just because they are bitter about the right person winning. Therefore, we now know Kat is voting for Kim and wants everyone else to vote for her, too. Don’t worry, Kat, everyone will be.
Now, we get to the part we’ve all been waiting for. I want to thank CBS for not being like American Idol and every other reality competition show, who uses up an entire hour for results, and makes us sit through 58 minutes of crap before we get to the actual results. I have always respected Survivor for doing it the way they do, and giving us the right to turn the TV off after 2 minutes if we wanted to. Shows like American Idol can learn something about this, knowing that if people like the show, they will continue to watch no matter what.
When they were showing the three girls, I was wondering why Kim was on a higher pedestal than Sabrina and Chelsea. And, by the time I was done considering the options, the votes were already read and Kim won! Shocked? I know one person who was. Her ex-husband! I bet you he broke the living sh*t out of his TV and maybe even a few end tables, the glass he was drinking out of, his dog’s rib cage, slashed his own car tires, and maybe even set his house on fire just out of pure rage. You should have held on to her for a few more months and half that money would have been yours, buddy!! That’s a damn shame, my friend. Enjoy that rage for the rest of your life.
Listen, Kim, your “biggest move” in this game was playing the game with these idiots! The guys f*cking GAVE UP IMMUNITY!!! Who does that, other than a bunch of flem-wadded, piece of rolled up peed-on toilet paper morons!! If you were on any other season than this one, with people who were not just interested in being there and actually wanted to play the game, you would have been gone long time before the final three. Even Sabrina knew what they were up against when she made the comment about how they were up against “weaker men.” The idiot guys got rid of all their strong men early so as to make it easier on the girls later in the game.
And, Colton, my friend, you should NOT be smiling as we go to break, after seeing all those clips of things you said during the season. You are a class act a-hole and I have to believe they had Bill handcuffed sitting next to you, because I’m not sure how these folks didn’t punch the hell out of your face.
I’d like to take this time to thank the great state of Colorado for sponsoring tonight’s finale of Survivor. Seriously, an entire state sponsored this show? I have a few friends who live in Colorado, I wonder if this was cleared with them.
Poor Colton’s mom. On Mother’s Day, too! I can understand where she’s coming from and how she may not have wanted to say anything too damning against her son on live TV, but there is absolutely no way I would have said any of those things on this show and then had my mom come on live TV and backed me up! Had that been my son, I would have smacked his face on live TV to show the disapproval I had of the things he said/did. There is no explanation for the things he said. No edit. No heat of the moment. Nothing. Pure hatred and disgust is all that came out of his mouth. I am a sarcastic person and I make crude comments at times, as well, but there is a difference between making fun of someone and being hateful for laughs. I’m actually ashamed of his mom for not chiding him more. He IS that person who said all those things. He proved it with his smugness even on the show tonight. He is not interested in changing/apologizing, he is love the attention he is getting. And, also, shame on Survivor for casting him again for next season. I have read reports that are saying he is one of the three “veterans” who are coming back. Judging by the scenes they should, I’m guessing Russell, the black guy with the long dreads is coming back, as well. And then, a girl, most likely. Whatever. CBS should be ashamed of themselves for allowing him to come back on the show. But, anything for ratings, right? Your mother’s should all be proud of you.
Oh, and Tarzan, you were not “acting” on the show. That is how you are. Own it, be proud of it, I would never want you performing surgery on me, as long as I had the chance to choose. If you were my only option, sure, have at it. Otherwise, I’d like you to stay away from cutting me open and attempting to save my life, you cheap bastard!!
Ooh, look out for Monica! Wow. She’s not even pretty for an older woman, she’s just plain pretty. Congratulations on that, my dear. I may have to bump you up from 4th to 2nd now, with a possibility to even overtake Chelsea, since I never thought she was all that great in the first place. And, yes, I know these are the things you all care about when you read my blog. Buck up, send me your top 5, I’m sure you all agree with me anyway!!
And, that will do it for this season of Survivor. They left us without telling us when the next season will begin. I imagine, though, it will be at some point after Big Brother is over, which will be mid-September or so. Maybe end of September, early October. Or, maybe they want to give us all a rest, take their time, do next season right and have it come back next year at some point. Whatever you choose, I’ll be back to watch and possibly blog about it.
I thank you all for reading. I thank all of those who took the time to comment. And, I thank all of you that wrote me on facebook, twitter, and over email. Keep the comments coming, I’m always up for a good conversation regarding foolish people on stupid reality shows.
Go ahead and miss me now…

Love reading your recaps.
Re: Alicia’s blurred ass – My husband said, “Surely her bush isn’t so overgrown after 30 days that they need to blur it out??” hahahaha I’m not sure what they are blurring out but almost immediately after he said that, there was a shot of Alicia back at camp and she had her hands on her hips (I presume) and for a second you could see the hairiest arm pit I have ever seen on a woman. I had to rewind it twice to believe what I was seeing.
Anyway, that’s disgusting that Colton will be allowed back on tv. I think he and Alicia should be shamed for their behavior. Alicia is a nasty, delusional, selfish woman. I would never trust her with a child, especially one with special needs. She seems like the type of person that would berate and abuse people left in her care.
And am I the only one that remembers Alicia and Colton calling Christina a roach, etc.?? When did Alicia and Christina partner up? I know it’s a way late to point this out, but I couldn’t remember my damn login for WordPress and was too lazy to look it up to comment until now. 😉
Looking forward to your recaps for next season! And hopefully it will be a more interesting group of people.
Yeah, I take issue with the whole Alicia/Christina teaming up, too. Christina was completely involved in the early season bashing of Christina, but you have to remember Christina is the same girl who was rubbing Colton’s head the same night after he called her all those nasty names, because of his “stomach” issues he was having.
As for her armpit, I am 1,000% happy I did not notice that. I was probably busy writing something down when it glanced on the screen! That is nasty…I’m guessing it is because of her “bush” and if that’s the case, then yes thank you for blurring it, CBS. I will NOT be purchasing that DVD…
I really hope one of the returning players next season is Mike Skupin from season 2. The first player ever to be evacuated. He was supposed to play against Coach in the South Pacific season, but he has a death in the family and they put Ozzy in his place. No one is more deserving than Mike for a second chance. Every one from his season said that he would have won if he hadn’t fallen into the fire.
Ok, so I only watched the first hour. The series finale of Desparate Housewives was more important and I was DVRing Sister Wives. The season was boring and I knew Kim was going to win. Pointless to watch. Too bad I love survivor. I agree that I probably hated Kim just because I knew she was winning. Catch you back on Big Brother.
I wish I could have shut the finale off after the first few minutes. I’m surprised you even made it the full hour!
Now come one Scott you’re really not going to comment on the moment when Jeff directed a question to Matt about giving up immunity only to have Matt respond by telling him that happened AFTER he was voted off? I know how much you love Probst (as we all do) but really? Who set that question up without fact checking?
Did I hear there are going to be three tribes next season? Hmmm, are they going to be smaller tribes or more players? I was excited to see how the whole “one world” thing was going to play out, and CBS managed to make that boring (they should NOT have merged tribes and NOT made it men against women). I’m pretty sure they will find a way to make three tribes as unexciting as possible.
Thanks Scott for a great season of sarcastic, snarky, recaps which always made my Thursday and Fridays at work a bit more bearable! And the missing has begun…
Lots to comment and I’ll try not to forget, but like you Scott, my brain thinks too fast and I forget things I wanted to say…
1) I think after seeing the girls “done up”, Kat was actually really pretty and I gained a lot of respect for her w/ her speech to the jury. Finally a player who votes on who DESERVES to win and not who they aren’t mad at. Agree about Monica, she’s also very pretty!!
2) Lost respect when Troyzan voted Sabrina. I liked him at times, not anymore. That girl didn’t do anything, said she lost challenges on purpose, which is not the case, she just sucked and she knows it. She was the worst challenge player maybe ever.
3) Why does Colton need to come back? I think CBS should ban him after the awful things he said. Bill put it best by saying some of the things he said like get a real job, etc. could have been game, but saying he should kill himseld and ghetto trash were not. I LOVE the idea of bringing back people who left for medical reasons, but not Colton.
4) I gained respect for Kim telling Christina she was going home that night. I get the girl did nothing to try and stay, but I kinda got her point. There was no way she was going to stay. None what so ever.
5) Thought it was interesting Jeff asked audience to compare Colton and Russell Hantz and everyone said NO. Nothing Russell did/said was like what Colton said/did. Russell was one of the best to ever play (besides Boston Rob) and glad at least audience sees it since the people who play the game are too stupid to see Russell should have won his season.
6) What if they pair up people and have them voted off as pairs? Bring back duos who played “together” (ex. Kim/Chelsea, Boston Rob/Amber, etc.) I can’t think of any more, but know there’s tons. They win immunity as pairs. I think that’s interesting and nothing that they’ve done.
I think that’s it. Oh, one last thing, people actually voted KIM as their favorite of season? Sorry, but Tarzan was by far the most hilarious person on the show. I obviously did not vote, but KIM really? Althought she was the most deserving of the 3 of them, she is not a favorite of mine at all. She’s boring!!!
giget, I think I was out of it by that point and just didn’t even bother writing anything down. What I DID forget and am upset I forgot (and wanted to get on Jeff about) was when he did two things at the second-to-last immunity when Alicia was untying the knots and he told her that she didn’t need to untie the ones she was doing. So what, Jeff, let her screw up if she has to. Since when do you get involved with what is going on and try and help the contestants? I’m SOOOOO mad I missed this in my blog, because I wanted to rip on him for that. Also, secondly, when Kim was catching up, he was like “Come on, girl!!” What??? Playing favorites much?
Also, Jack, just one comment in regards to Kat. Yes, I gained respect for her, but this is another thing I thought about and changed my mind on. Since when did Kat think that way? No way in hell was that HER speech she wrote. It was just the night before when she was calling those girls b*tches and rolling her eyes, sounding all spiteful, and then the very next day she had this epiphany? I don’t buy it.
Oh, and no doubt Colton never needs to show his face on TV again. These people are better people than I, because, I would have had a tirade all cued up to spout off once Jeff asked me to speak in regards to Colton and his fat, ugly face…
Great recap, Scott. I like the fact your recaps are well-written and coming from the perspective of a fan of the show. Unlike other recaps on this site…
Here’s a few thoughts on the finale and all your comments:
-The whole blurred thing is just a Standards & Practices thing since it’s shown at 8pm on CBS. The only thing they’re blurring is Alicia fat underbooty sticking out of her chonies. They could probably get away with it, but there are kids watching. You’d think by now the show would provide some booty shorts the girls could wear.
-And I never got why Alicia thought she was so powerful. Is she that delusional? Maybe she is if she thinks she’s a compassionate person who works as an educator. Very disgusting behavior all season. Look, I understand when you’re in your ITMs, the show tells you to “spice it up” a little. Makes for good TV, right? But do these idiots understand that MILLIONS of people watch each episode? Unreal that she (and more specifically, Colton) think they’re living in a bubble.
-Can’t understand why Kim would not take Christina (who also got hotter as time passed) to the final. Doesn’t matter now, but in my eyes Kim was not a smart player in that regard. I seriously thought going in to the reunion show that there could be at least 3 votes for each woman.
-Chelsea gets hotter each week. No booty shorts for her, please…
-Such a letdown there was no major drama in the final questions. This is your LAST CHANCE for drama and you puss out like that? Alicia was the nastiest, but her “question” was more of her being delusional, so it just made her look crazier. Kat could have gone off, but took the high road. You’d think Troyzan may have something up his sleeve, but nope. Jonas, Mike, Tarzan, Jay, Christina, Leif…nothing. Of course Leif had nothing, he had nothing all season. It’s just a little disappointing that the season culminated in that.
-Reunion Show: Another disappointment. Is Jeff Probst unprepared, or dumb? At least he seemed to grill Colton a little. Nothing from Kourtney, or Nina? Not even a check-in on her wrist? And what’s with the guy in the audience saying he thought Colton was playing a character on the show? I thought this was reality TV? Shouldn’t he be playing Colton?
-Lastly, I will be truly disappointed if CBS brings Colton back. Based on how fat he looked, either he wasn’t on the show (which has already wrapped) or he didn’t last long. Let’s hope he fades away and we never see that piece of turd again.
-And as much as I dislike him, I also think Russel was just as bad with his misogynist views on women. If you’re going to be a villain, be an arrogant one (like Richard Hatch). It’s one thing to think you’re better than others, it’s another thing to think others are beneath you because of race/gender/religion/etc…
Enjoy your summer, Scott. Looking forward to next season. Like you, I’ll be the guy hoping for his chance to be on the show…
