I’m super excited going into this, sadly I got a little spoiled on one person who doesn’t win, but that’s okay! Can’t wait to see who wins!
Highlights:
•I feel like the final 5 immunity challenge had a bit of a predictable winner, especially after seeing it was a puzzle. Carson’s a puzzle king, but with that being said it was still a super close challenge, even Carolyn sort of did good? She got one piece of the puzzle!
•Also this is the best reward, I fucking love spaghetti
•An Emotional Final 5 tribal council- I really thought Lauren might’ve found the idol, I mean they were all so close to finding it
•Carolyn struggling in that final 4 challenge with even just one ball- and of course first out.
•Heidi winning final 4 immunity, I am super proud of her, I knew this challenge would come down to her and Carson.
•Yam Yam helping Carson with fire (I feel it does come from a place of love and friendship- but it is also a smart thing to do, in case Carson is on the jury)
•Heidi choosing to do fire against Carson! Super bold move! He is a big competitor, but I think so were Carolyn and Yam Yam, I think part of the reason she chose to go against him is because yes it helps her résumé but her chances of winning against him are higher than the other two.
•Holy Cow THAT WAS SO FAST. I’m so happy for her! 3:02 wow!
YAM YAM WINNING! I think of the final 3 he definitely deserved it the most, also I expected Carolyn to kind of fumble the jury questioning, but I think she articulated herself really well, way more than I expected her too. I’m sad she didn’t win, but I understand it, but I do wish she got a vote.
FINAL RANKINGS:
1. Carolyn (I think Carolyn is one of my favorite people to have played in the recent seasons, I loved her realness so much, just like Maryanne)
2. Yam Yam (Super happy he won, he deserved it!)
3. Frannie (She really stuck with me as someone who could win this game in a future returnee season, and I loved her personality)
4. Carson (I think just his support for both Carolyn and Yam Yam during jury questioning was so sweet, and he really could’ve won it had he made final 3, though I don’t think it was as in the bag if Yam Yam would’ve been there as well)
5. Heidi (She really proved herself in this game, and I’ve loved her personality throughout this whole game)
6. Lauren
7. Matt
8. Jaime
9. Matthew (super sad he got taken out from an injury)
10. Kane (just kind of boring)
11. Danny (a bit too arrogant for my taste)
12. Brandon (same as Danny, just worst)
13. Claire (she kind of had some iconic moments)
14. Sarah (I liked her but not very memorable)
15. Josh (bored me to death)
16. Maddy (I think she had potential to do well, unfortunately… she did not)
17. Helen (super forgettable but I couldn’t help but wishing she went farther)
18. Bruce (super unfortunate med evac man, I hope he can do well in Survivor 45.)
Wow what a season! Super glad I got to watch it. Great winner!
It was definitely a memorable cast! I like that they found gold with MaryAnne and then again with Carolyn! Casting is doing a very good job recently with who they are bringing on!
