Survivor: Worlds Apart

[no bounce no play]

Boy Howdy, that was a really intense last show. I was scared that

Mike messed up by taking Carolyn to the final three with him - I had thought more jury members would vote for her than him. Is there any way of knowing whose names were written on the last two ballots Jeff didn't read since Mike had enough votes to win?

Y'all are soooooo right about Will... he had no remorse for his meanness and then even his wife got a 'tude!

Second Chance Cast
I don't recognize a lot of the players but I think I remember Kimmie - wasn't she that whiner who made a big deal about how she couldn't eat insects because she was a vegetarian?

So I wonder - she must have shaved her eyebrows off, had them tattooed on, and then regrown them. Which means she still has to groom/pluck/wax them. Maybe they are so pale that she wanted to darken them. Either way, the effect is distracting. And yeah, I noticed Carolyn's eyeliner, too. I've thought of having my lips permanently colored because they've always been pale, but it seems that the outcome is never quite as attractive or natural as I'd like when I see it on other people, so I'd be afraid to commit.

Both Sierra and Carolyn looked soooooooo different with make-up on! I'll bet you're right about Sierra's eyebrows growing over the tats cause they looked totally dark after she joined the jury, like she may have waxed her brows - she looked a bit clownish.

I'm pretty sure the unread votes

also went to Mike. If they could have done anything to increase the drama by making it seem closer than it was, they would have done so (by Probst's own admission -- he always sorts the votes to create drama). So each of the other two got a single vote each and that's it.

I'm up in the air about Shirin. Did you want her on the Second Chance show, True?

Yes! She's a super-fan and I'm glad she actually gets to play the game and having a second chance without all that drama hopefully this time around!

Wow - I just binged on Ponderosa videos. I wonder what's up with Hali's eye? It looks really bad and painful.

It was interesting to see, once they were taken out of the game, how the contestants had to decompress and figure out what had gone wrong in their game. And I really felt sorry for Joe - he was so emotional, even up to the final tribal, about being taken out of the game so early. It will be great to see him in the fall, now that he has experience in the game.

This wasn't my favorite season, but the final episode and finale were great, and I was happy with the outcome. I would have liked to have heard from Vince, the coconut boy, during the reunion show. Perhaps there would have been more time if they hadn't sold half of it to advertisers.

And I know that Jeff feels the need to defend the show against Dan's claims of being unfairly edited, but I'm tired of people being forced to (insincerely) apologize for everything they said that may have offended someone. People are people - some of them are a**holes, and they say stuff. Deal.

But Will really crossed a line.
