The thing that Stephan was critiquing about his meal turned out to be exactly what the judges were baffled by. If he hadn't shouted so much and had given it some thought instead, he might have walked away from that differently.

true, but I think that he was rubbed the wrong way by Stefan. If Carla had had some backbone and spoken up in the beginning, I think that he would have been receptive to the criticism.

Nora and Jess - I was just as shocked that Susie got any votes at all. Coattail riding usually does not get rewarded. If she had won...blech. But I had wanted Sugar to get more.

Who ended up with the Fan Favorite vote?

Yeah, that's what surprised me. I know Sugar pissed a lot of people off, but backstabbing usually gets rewarded more by the jury than coattail riding. I wasn't at all surprised that Bob won, but I thought for sure the non-Bob votes would go to Sugar.

Bob was the fan favorite, Sugar came in 2nd.

Jeff I don't like after he was super condescending and frankly, I think, pretty sexist on the Today show challenge.

I've decided he said those bad things after Kathy Lee spit out his dish -- even though they were played beforehand. Not much better, but a little mitigating, I think. It wasn't like they told him they were going to the Today Show, and his response was, "Ugh! Those women!"

I didn't follow Survivor as close this year as I have in the past, but ever final tribal gets me with all the hurt feelings and feelings of betrayal. I mean, come on - Outwit, Outplay, Outlast. If you get booted to the jury instead of feeling all butt-hurt over it, you should be Ahhh, ya got me before I could get you. Well done you.

Bob winning FF is *bullshit* imho. I don't think the winner should be able to win that.

But aren't the votes cast before the winner is announced? I don't see how they'd be able to exclude him without major spoilage. (Unless they excluded ALL of the finalists.)

No, but they could discard those votes and let the prize go to the next runner up.

Maybe it was just edited badly but the way he was so dismissive really sat wrong with me.

I'm a reality tv grudge holder, though!

Yay for awesome Bob winning! I loved that he practiced firemaking in case there was a tie. And Jeff told Future Contestants that they should learn how to build a freaking fire before the game begins, which I've been saying for years.

We were saying that we predict Sugar is going to end up with an expensive gig posing for Playboy.
