Aftermath

First off, to all of the people complaining that the final Immunity challenge was 'rigged' so Danielle would win it - get a clue. Challenges are thought up and created weeks in advance. Some competitions just naturally favor certain Survivors over others. Survivor is not primarily a game of physical competition, it is a game of social interaction.

My Favorite
Of the final four, I would have liked to have seen Cirie win. She played a great game which was even more amazing considering that she was afraid of leaves at the start of the show.

The Other Three
Danielle least deserved to win. She was just a lump that somehow managed to stay in the game. I don't think she was even smart enough to be playing 'under the radar.'

Terry was a tremendous physical threat but socially he was inept. Used to a world of logic and reason, he was lost in the haphazard, crazy world of Casaya.

Aras won because he is very balanced physically and socially which is what I think Survivor aims to achieve.

Curses Spoiled Again
The Car Curse lives on, at least Terry won a real SUV and not some ugly, mutant vehicle like in past seasons. If winning Final Immunity isn't a curse then maybe it should be. Has anyone who has won it gone on to win the million dollars? And so much for that 'betting spoiler' being correct 'every time.' Remember past spoilers are no guarantee of future spoiler returns.

Reunion
Cirie and Hunny Bunny stole the show, they obviously love and care for each other. Thank you America for voting to give them the SUV.

Shane was entertaining as well. Did someone steal his cuff links before the show? Where can I get a multi-colored striped dress shirt with French cuffs like the one he wore last night? I just wish a sweater wasn't covering most of it.

Bruce, a school teacher with 34 years of experience, was suspended without pay for going on Survivor? Most organizations would love all of the free publicity but not all apparently. I just read that half of all teachers quit teaching within three years. Way to go Bruce's school, you suck. The children are our future.

Cook Islands
Next on Survivor, the Cook Islands. Fear not, Exile Island will be back as Survivor moves to the South Pacific. We'll have to wait until the fall to see what new twists Mark Burnett has in store for the Survivors and viewers.

Survivor Hut
I'm moving my Survivor blog to Survivor Hut (http://survivorhut.blogspot.com). This will be my permanent Survivor home, so no more changing web addresses each Survivor season. I intend to have it up and going within about a week.

Thank You
