Survivor 29: San Juan del Sur (Blood vs. Water 2)

The jury REALLY didn't like him so I could actually see Monica winning in that scenario and that's all the justification I need that F2 is better.

In their podcast last week with Rob, the Morretts said everyone liked Monica, and she would've beaten Gervase. Man that would have been SWEET. Especially because you know Gervase would have gone into that thinking he had it.

In retrospect, Monica was one of the few things that I really liked about Blood vs. Water 1 even though at the time I thought she was the most underwhelming returnee choice ever and paled in comparison to all of the other older women who somehow (but thankfully) made the cast for that season. Her personal journey to find and become *Monica* again was one of the better takes on the many "older woman goes to the finals but gets some ~personal growth~ as a consolation prize for her gender and age not meshing with the jury's expectations about her role in a cut-throat game of social strategy" edits we've had lately.

LOL @ Natalie's post show interviews where she's drunk and cussing like a sailor.

I skipped the Fall 2014 Survivor. I bailed because I felt that there was such a manipulative narrative to get Tony to win the Spring 2014 Cagayan that I wanted a break from Survivor. And to have done a revival of the Blood vs. Water concept, which didn't impress me from one year ago, turned me off. I hope this edition, which had its finale last Wednesday [Dec. 17], was good.

The Survivor 30 cast is out now. I'm too lazy to start the new season thread and post them. I'll leave that to someone else. Here is the link.
