I try to stay excited for his sake.

Probably not the first time in history that a wife has said that.

Here, let me!

Did I miss something? It was pretty clear that the alliances were Dan, Fabio and Benry on one side, and Holly, Jane and Chase on the other, with Sash as the wild card. So how come Dan and Benry voted for Fabio at tribal?

Ya got me. I really don't get that either Rob. Maybe they knew they couldn't get Sash to side with them? Hmm....

Teresa? Misti? Any ideas?

Dang it! I had a response typed out, hit send & something went wrong. I lost it all.

I am thinking that maybe they had in mind who they were going to vote out but one of the others from the other alliance planted a seed? I've seen solid choices be derailed by a lie someone told to get a person to vote the other way.

As far as Fabio; I love the guy but my goodness...I'm sure this wasn't the only chance to get to see your mom. Go see each other once in awhile! Shake this off & get your focus back on the game.

I'm hoping that Jud...umm, I mean Fabio...keeps winning immunities so that once the "alliance" picks off everyone else it will be fun to see them turn on each other.

Jane...amusing. She was fine & dandy with everything as long as things were going her way. The first time it doesn't, BAM! See Jane, no one is totally safe.

Can't wait to see the finale, but I'm most anxious to see how well Fabio cleans up!

Fabio's mom was beautiful. I think his emotions just got the better of him, and he just melted down a bit. It all came to a head. I think he's back in the game again, now.

I liked Jeff's line when Chase, after choosing who to take with him for the reward, asked what would happen to the other Survivors: "They'll be taken away and executed."

You know, I really wonder if the strategy would have worked if Fabio, Jane & Dan had voted off Holly in the alliance? After all the mess talked about Jane & she thought she was going home, if Holly had been voted off then would Jane still not trust Sash and Chase and go with the Fabio and Dan? It might have made things interesting.

If that had happened I would wonder next week if Jane would be back with Sash and Chase. I think it would still be those three against Fabio and Dan. Then if Fabio won immunity again I'm guessing Dan would be picked off.

But with all her talking at tribal council, in the closing scene, Jane wrote down Sash and not Holly. And even if Fabio and Dan wrote down Holly we saw that Sash, Chase and Holly wrote down Jane and Jane wrote down Sash. So in the scheme of things Jane was out no matter what.

I'm wondering if Jane was just trying to rattle them but she still intended to write down Sash, even with all the trash talk about Chase?

Oh, I thought it was so funny how Jane poured those two buckets of water on the fire. "I started it and I'm finishing it!!"

I'm sorry you lost your post, Misti!! Ugh, I hate it when that happens!

Yep, if anyone's 'true colors' were showing, it was hers!!

Oh my gosh, we said the same thing Teresa---his mom is gorgeous! And although I'm with Misti, that he needed to get control of himself (the whining was unacceptable), I think you're right that maybe his emotions toward her took him off guard....since they don't see each other much, maybe he didn't realize just how much he had missed her until she was right in front of him.

You know, I'd missed parts of that, but I'd wondered if that's what he'd said! TOO funny!

I am really excited about the finale and I'm pulling for Fabio to win. Does anyone know if they are still planning the "final three" in the final tribal council or if they will wise up and go back to the "final two?"

YYYYEEEEESSSSS!!!!!

Congrats to Fabio!! In the reunion show, what was up with Shannon? He was a jerk! I could tell that Jeff wanted him to just "shut up." He must have made a comment at some point before he was voted off about thinking Sash was gay. I don't know..............

I'm really glad that Fabio won. I'm glad that Sash gained his weight back. He looked good.

What???!!!!

I thought the final was THIS WEEK!

When did you guys see this???

Unbelievable... lol
My DVR did not record the final, what the heck happened?
Well, I will have to watch it on Hulu or something...

BUT!...

I am happy it was Favio!!!!!

I'm sorry to have spoiled it for you, Carol. You can also go to CBS.com & watch the episode on there. I can say he cleaned up well!

Next season should be interesting. The "voted off" survivors will be sent to a separate place to have a challenge against each other. The winner will go back into the game? Is that how I took it to mean. The loser will be out.

Redemption Island..............Yes, it should be interesting.

Fabio looked nice with the shorter hair, although I liked it on the longer side as well. Probably because that's how I'm used to seeing it. He was a bit "goofy" last night on the reunion show. Maybe it's his young age of 21. Marty was a little too "snotty" for my taste. He's probably bitter that he didn't last longer.

I wasn't to passionate about Fabio until last night, then I was really rooting for him to win. He was so cute there in the end with that big grin from winning all those immunities. When him and Nay were talking and crying at the final tribal I was emotional. Was glad to see they don;t hate each other. Wish he would have kept his hair long. I was so glad to see poofy hair Holly and her alliance of idiots have to turn on each other, lol. Sash and Chase looked pretty hot. I loved Marty's comment about Chase being dumber than a bag of hammers, lol.

YEEEESSSS JANE WON AS FAN FAVORITE (and not Holly)!!!!!!!

All in all this was one of the best seasons with some really interesting people. They new format for next season looks to be pretty wild.

The thing I didn't like about them discussing the new season is they were so busy talking about the change in the way the game was played they didn't say where it was going to be!

...and February? So soon!?

I think they said they filmed it in Nicaragua right after the current show was finished.

I like the fact that they always start the next season in February. We only have to wait about seven weeks.

Misti, you seem....pleased....yes, that's the word....that Fabio won! Just teasing ya---we were all cheering over here---I'll tell ya, it was scary there for a minute! I cannot believe Chase came that close to winning. I guess it really DID pay off to him that he sided with the women all those times!

Oh, I know, Shannon! Geesh!! What ticks me off about that, (AND that Jimmy Johnson and Terry Bradshaw got so much time) is that poor Jill and a couple other people were completely overlooked by Jeff. I don't remember a time that has ever happened.

I'm with you Teresa--(and Beckie, LOL)---I liked the longer hair better on Fabio. And yeah, he seemed as goofy on the reunion show as he did in the beginning weeks of Survivor! And I agree Teresa, what was up with Marty?!?! Shake it off, dude! Also Teresa, I thought Sash was one of the most 'unrecognizeable' players I've ever seen on a reunion show. I'm not sure I've ever seen a guy look that skinny on the island. I'm amazed at how good he looked at the reunion! But, I still can't stand the creep. LOL!

Yes, I think he was adorable there and his giggles during the final tribal councils were cute too. One thing about Fabio, as goofy as he is, he seems like a very genuine guy. It's part of the reason it surprised me that he didn't get more votes, because he has that 'likeablity' factor.

I don't really 'get' Nay, how she was all of a sudden coming off sweet to him. She seemed to be doing a lot of backpedalling there and also in the reunion show. Also, a lot of times when Jeff announces the 'one' villain of the season, people applaud and go nuts (like Russel, for example), but I think one person cheered in the audience for Nay. Guess she really did her job of making people not like her!

I honestly about died when I saw it was Jane by a landslide. I had NO idea she was that well-liked. Not sure how someone could be that well liked that I actually couldn't tolerate!! LOL!

And I agree, I think they really needed to do this new Redemption Island thing---time to change things up a little again. Well, I still say they should throw them into Antartica, but that'll never happen.

Sorry for the double post! I typed my response but my computer is slow so I refreshed & it posted twice. I was going to delete one but I wasn't fast enough.

I don't know about y'all but I wish they would go back the final two. Three people just doesn't make sense to me. I kinda felt bad for Sash since he didn't get one single vote!

Oh, I forget! I don't remember if these Survivors had to eat anything nasty. I wish they had been made to do that. It is one of my favorite things!

So, Rob, this next one is in Nicaragua, too? I guess I missed it when they said that part. I wonder when the new cast will be revealed?

I was a bit surprised at the very end when Fabio stripped down to his boxers. I thought it was a little much.

Complete agreement Misti. Final two is better, and how is it Survivor if they don't have to eat nasty stuff?!?!

What?!?! What end?! Of the reunion show?? I totally missed that!!! Um, yeah, I would definitely agree with you!!

Yeah, disgusting! Having not noticed, Misti runs off to cbs.com to watch the recap in slow-mo!
