Survivor : Heroes v Healers v Hustlers

[ski_nxs]

Even though I liked Ben for some reason I wasn't happy about how he won, he should have been out at #4. Like others have said that final twist was solely for the intent of keeping Ben in the game, pretty sad Survivor/Probst.

So I guess really the only social game one needs to play is with Probst, he'll get you to the end.

Poor Devon, I bet Bens kindling had lighter fluid on it too.

This was by far the worst season and the worst ending of a season in the entire history of the show.
Ben's victory was so undeserved, I can't get over it. Devon was robbed. Even if he had ended up not winning, it would have still been a better way for him to end his Survivor journey than this bullshit twist that was introduced to save Ben. Ben clearly lacked the strategic and social game required to win on his own so production helped him along. This season showed everything that's gone wrong with the show. Sadly, not even the eye candy can keep me; I'm out.

I LOVED it SO MUCH (but hated who won) that I wrote a UTOPIA CHAPTER 11: SURVIVOR SPECIAL story!!! Featuring Jeff Probst, (although not as sexually active as say) Cole and Devon!

I loved the ending. All you queens saying it was rigged for Ben are just being closed minded. There is a reason this show has survived for 35 going on 36 seasons. The continuous new twists that are added, love them or hate them. Isn't it time you get over it, besides threatening to rage quit (for the countless time)?

Changing the rules of the show unannounced at the very end to give one of Jeff's crushes a free pass to the win is one of the few times I've been legitimately pissed off at this show; it was the type of thing that Big Brother has been mocked for doing for years while Survivor historically had comparatively more integrity than that. Hopefully the F4 twist will go the way of Redemption Island where they bring it back next season to save face and then it quietly disappears.

Same here. Even a day later I'm still annoyed thinking about it. Like why did I waste my time watching an entire season of this show just to have Jeff determine the winner? Ben's win is now just one step above that America's Tribal Council in 2004 where they gave Rupert a million dollars. It really is in that category.

And slip just think how satisfying the alternate history would've been. After all their idol replanting to help Ben, to have him lose the final immunity to a 40-something year old woman because of an upside down U would've been SUCH sweet justice. Chrissy likely would've lost to Devon anyway but at least that would've been fair and at least Devon actually played the game and convinced people to keep him around unlike Ben. Chrissy winning that final immunity is the kind of moment Survivor used to produce where the audience bemoans it years later while bitches like me and slip snicker at it. Moments like that MAKE the show what it is and instead the producers are increasingly trying to snuff out those moments in favor of a pre-determined narrative (which is ALWAYS in favor of a certain kind of player). Luck meets social strategy. The show is best when it just lets those two elements collide and everyone behind the scenes just gets the fuck out of the way.

Devon with his short cur looks dashing

It's hard for me to talk about the gifts in the game and how they led to the winner. I did not like Chrissie and Ben even less, but that should have been Chrissie's win. Survivor takes itself so seriously on social issues.

Devon was probably even more robbed than Chrissie. Without that twist saving Ben, Devon would have been in the final 3 and I can totally see him winning

 

[joesman]

I'm still annoyed as hell about the way that all played out for the final 3, especially that a twist was added when all the idols were gone and Ben would have been toast again.

This is Big Brother players news . Victor and Natalie are on The Challenge: Vendettas and after the first show seem to be doing just fineOdy and Jessica are on The Amazing Race and are doing quite well. They would have been first to come in had they not gotten a little lost but did come in second on the first show.
