This money, it is too much. You should have some small refund.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

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?

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.

Hell, I could have won against Randy, and I wasn't even there. Useless and sour is a very bad combo.

I think so too, unless Jerri was doing more strategizing offscreen than we ever saw.

Also, I don't think that Russell even now understands what he did wrong. As Jeff (who was looking very fetching in his black sweater last night) said, Russell may have won a different game, but Survivor is about the same people you play against judging you at the end.
