Late to the Game - SPOILER ALERT

OK, I have been weeks behind on Survivor, but I JUST got caught up and have finally watched the whole shebang. And I agree with all previous posts: BY FAR, THE BEST SEASON EVER. The Erik episode was amazing, I couldn't believe it, it was hilarious, masterful, and so tragic. Poor Erik, I did feel very bad for him. Those girls are phenomenal players. Cirie deserved to win the whole thing, and I'm not just saying that because she was my girl! (I just felt so terrible for her when she was crying at the end and apologizing to her family for letting them down) I think she directed the entire arc of the game and almost every single strategic move. But I also think if Amanda had taken her, she would have won, so I don't fault Amanda for going with Parvati...although that didn't work out so well either. Final thoughts: I still can't stand Parvati, and I can't believe she won. She is a "mean girl" and I'm still stunned. Right now I'm watching the reunion show, and they haven't shown yet how everyone voted, but I'm guessing even after all that happened, Eliza voted for Parvati. What an idiot, that she would claim to respect both of those girls for their game playing, but then still vote for the girl that was just flat out mean and bitchy to you. Ugh.

OK, those are all my thoughts. What an amaaaaazing season.

(Dang it, Cirie!)

The Luckiest - Survivor Style

Does anyone else think the Ring luck is ridiculously weighted when it comes to Survivor?

Sheesh. Katherine loses a player and picks up a fantastic replacement.

Kevin has the best of the pretty people gang, somehow the least threatening fave who is smart enough to know when to keep his mouth shut.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Survivor producers try to thwart the Ring luck this week only to have Kathleen spend yet one more night on Exile Island, find the stupid idol and return to further strengthen the juggernaut.

Other non Ring thoughts, since I watched delayed version this week and couldn't discuss. Cirie is toast, there is no way her "alliance" lets her get to the merge and there aren't consequences for putting her foot down right now. Too early to make your stand. Are the faves sending Kathleen to Exile so she will find the idol and therefore stick around as a weaker player on the other team, or do they think she won't ever find it?

It's Go Time

The Survivor premiere is on Thursday, and we still need to decide how we're going to draft. I think we're all okay waiting for the numbers to dwindle until we'll just have two each. We can choose from the following options for the selection process:

A) Pick numbers to draft two Survivors
B) Randomly pick two Survivors
C) Draft one, randomly pick one

My vote is for C.

Also, Fun Timer and Nebraskan Kim will be making a special appearance at Grand Rapids Fun Times this week, so we will be watching the premiere in only two different places. That's a little better, right?
