Survivor Finale!
This season of survivor has got to be one of the best on record.. The elements were brutal, and there were some of the hardest physical challenge in the series thus far..
The winner Danni Boatwright, pretty much flew under the radar until the last few episodes.. While she did some maneuvering to stay in that game, I have to say that the wrong person won survivor.
Everyone knows that Stephenie LaGrossa is my favorite survivor contestant.. Last season she absolutely got railed in being the final member of her tribe standing, only to get voted out towards the end of the game.
And that’s exactly what it is.. it is a game.. Had the people on the jury truly voted for the person who played the GAME the best, steph would have won hands down.. She dominated this season, she crafted the alliances, and she made most of the decisions for the tribe.. Judd foolishly believed, I think, that he was running the game.. And what a sore loser he was, calling his tribe mates “scumbags”, and wishing they were eaten by crocodiles.
The jury didn’t vote for the best player.. the jury voted for the person who was nicer, who didn’t make any waves.
Rafe, was also a strong challenger, but during the challenge in which Cindy won a car, he started to get on my nerves.. his “nicer than nice” persona started to crack, and we started to see the passive aggressive person that he was in this game. After absolving Danni of any alliance or promise she had made to him after a particularly brutal challenge for the final 3 in which steph and Danni fought till the end and ultimately steph’s body gave out on her… Rafe ran up to her and told her to take whoever she wanted to with her to the final two. Danni chose steph.. knowing, most likely, that she could beat her.. and she did..
The thing that bugs me though is that the people voted out were such sore losers.. just so annoyed that they could have been manipulated in the game.. it’s a GAME people.. the whole point it to outwit, outlast.. and that means sometimes manipulation and playing people off each other.. I don’t necessarily think that steph did anything worthy of having her be eaten by a croc… she played the game.. and she played it well.. in the end though, those people on the jury voted a popularity contest, instead of who played the game the best.. if they had.. the winner surely would have been Stephenie Lagrossa.. Truly the ultimate survivor.
