I really like that Julie wasn't given any air time on the reunion show, and dislike that Dale wasn't given any.
I also wonder if contestants ever shout at Probst to shut up during challenges. It's got to be distracting in such an intense situation.
I am happy for. Deserved to win, for sure, even though I wasn't a fan in the beginning.Natalie
Although Reed's rant was entertaining, and true, I think he could have said all that he needed to say in a less venomous way. On the one hand, he's advocating for Christian love and tolerance, and then he states his case against Missy in a very unkind and unloving way. A "just the facts" stating of the facts would have been enough, and Missy wasn't even a threat to win anyway.

Shut up, Jeff! I'm trying to keep this ball on a paddle in 50mph wind gusts!!!
She was my son's favorite so while he was away at school I carried the torch.
You're spoiling OoO lol.
I agree with True, Natalie was the most deserving of the win having played a strategic game. Keith would have been a tougher opponent in the final three, but it was genius getting rid of both Baylor and Keith and taking Missy to the final. Jacklyn got a few votes, but I couldn't see how in the world Missy would get enough what with her having to sit out the final challenges with her ankle. Sitting out, though unfortunate, doesn't get you the $$$.
Baylor still should have won, by the way.........
Definitely, OoO! There was a part of me that wanted Keith to make it to the final three. I thought that he was the underdog of the season--and I always root for the underdogs lol (except for Baylor)
(except for Baylor)
Baylor and Missy have got to be kicking themselves for trusting Natalie. I guess Natalie was afraid Baylor might get more votes than she would. I would have voted for Baylor over Natalie. I didn't like Natalie's strategy lol.
I think Natalie was the most deserving player to win. She played a good strategic game. I don't think Missy had a chance, I can't think of one noteworthy thing she did all season. I thought this season was somewhat lackluster, and then it became good once the merge started.
I would have to give props to Keith, though. It was obvious that he had no idea how to play this game, and it was frustrating, but considering he did the best he could, lol. He won a lot of challenges and he made it far. I think he mostly played the game to experience it with Wes, who's a huge fan of the show, so I think that is sweet And Keith seems like a really good guy outside the game. I liked how his "Stick to the plan" line is an inside joke with his firefighter buddies and he can joke about it! (Did anyone see the shirt he was wearing at Tribal? lol).
I still like Reed. That Missy comment--good for entertainment purposes, but would it make me a horrible person to say that I liked his speech? I thought it was very well-spoken, you could tell he practiced that! Jeff Probst had interesting things to say about that speech he made and about Reed on EW.
Next season--sounds very interesting! Like everyone has said, I hop it becomes another Brain vs. Brawn vs. Beauty, because that is one of the best seasons, imo!
I agree - with all of it! Loved Keith, and I also think he did a great job given his, ahem, disadvantages. I wouldn't have been at all sorry to see him win.
I like Reed, too. I'll have to go read what Probst said about his speech. I just wish he could have been a little softer on Missy, even though I agreed with everything he said, and it needed to be said, because in my mind what she did with the rice was inexcusable, and Reed was one of the ones who had to pay for her extravagance. I'm laughing, because I'm accusing him of being hypocritical for slamming Missy so hard while touting his Christianity, and I am the Queen of hypocrisy (sometimes). Oh well. And I'm sure he practiced that little speech relentlessly, while drinking mojitos and lying on the beach!
