Amen. If there was any puzzlement about the way the votes shook out, there was no mystery left after the reunion tonight.

She was right to call him that. How many votes did he get?
Oh right, none.
I so wanted Sandra to win, but I'd have been good with Parvati. I can't say how glad I am that Russell got stomped.

Survivor: I was rooting for Sandra, but I'm surprised she got the votes. I thought things would tilt toward Parvati because I don't think the jury was aware of how much scrambling she had to do from the start. Parvati calling Russell her pet was awesome, though.
Coach still needs to be slapped. And THANK GOD the audience didn't reward Rupert for being a moron yet again.

So much yes.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I cannot understand how Russell simply doesn't understand one of the two most salient features of the game. You vote people off, and they vote for you. That is the nature of the game. How do you not get that after 20 seasons?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Survivor:
he's completely arrogant. I thought it was really telling that Parvarti told him (on the last night they were out there) that if she had been on the jury, she would have voted for Sandra. He didn't believe her initially and then you could tell he was trying to ponder why Parvarti would say something like that. I wish we had seen that whole interchange because I wonder if he asked her why she would have voted for Sandra.
It seems pretty evident that Russell couldn't have won no matter who was with him in the final 3. Would Parvarti have won if Jerri had been there instead of Sandra? Or would Jerri have won as well.
I pretty much knew Sandra had won when I saw that Coach voted for Parvarti. I didn't see his season, but this season, Coach has been the odd person out.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
You know Parvati only got Coach's vote because of the dragon comment...

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
A great finish to a great Survivor season. Did anyone else think Russell was drunk at the reunion show?

Would Parvarti have won if Jerri had been there instead of Sandra?
I was wondering that too. I always wish they'd spend more time talking to the jury about their votes. Particularly now that there are 3 choices. My hunch is that Parvati would have won against Jerri. Although I think Russell might have at least gotten one or two votes that way.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I don't think there is anyone on the jury who would have voted for Russell. I think that is the truth that Russell finally gets.
I literally think the only person Russell could have won against is Randy.
