I legit just ordered Boston Rob's book. Not that I really want to read his life advice, but more the fact that I want to have it sit next to my copy of THE SPECIALIST: THE COSTA RICA JOB Also this shot is f***ing hilarious. And they STILL forced them to sit in order of the elimination? C'mon Man!

What a wild season for villains, first we get Francesca trying to play too hard against Phillip on Day 1 and getting made into the comedy heel after getting voted 1st off twice!
Then we get a little more serious with Shamar's constant antagonism. Coupled with Sherri's mob-boss mentality against anybody who targets Shamar/her alliance or even pretends to ally themselves with Reynold and Eddie. She specialized in handing out cement shoes which is always a dangerous villain to deal with on a sinking ship tribe like the Fans were. (I really wish she would've gone into this aspect of her gameplay because 2/3 of the Three Amigos being targetted since Day One was all her doing).
Then of course Brandon Hantz turns the volume up wayyy too loud and goes out with a bang after he fails to show his elders (Phil) any respect. I thought that would be the height of heeldom this season but no...
The Three Amigos form outta nowhere to both destroy the faces (Stealth-R-Us) and to sneak assassinate the leader in a kamikaze hidden-idol-powered attack! They all probably realized they wouldn't get the $1M but decided at that point that they would change the scope of the game by taking out a potential Final 3 member of their choice. I mean if you had put Phil in the finals alongside Cochrane it would not have been a clean sweep IMHO.
Then the ultimate face-to-heel turn is obvious the perpetual victim Dawn using those same tears as a WMD to blindside Brenda. Such a powerful heel turn she had to shut down her Twitter/Facebook accounts! I mean if Dolph Ziggler could be that hated in the WWE from one screwjob he would be the perfect main event badguy!
Much love for also perhaps the best Final Tribal Council in the history of ever. The way they all skunked Sherri, especially after she lit into Erik WHO JUST GOT MEDIVACCED I was in total awe from start to finish. The Cochran eliminating his first name is smart, but he definitely needs to become a lawyer the way he had the jury eating out of the palms of his hands the whole time (Jeff Probst, too).

{Spoiler}{Spoiler}oy only way i want colton back is if they do a season that I read at sucks that would ne under a theme of "good, bad and ugly" where the good tribe would be "heroes/faces/clean players like Yul, Colby, Tom etc., The bad would be strategists who weren't malicious but backstabbed like a Coach/Boston Rob/Parvati and the ugly would be horrible people like Colton, Na Onka, Abi Maria etc. But now that colton has been brought up. might as well show

{Spoiler}{Spoiler}OK, I pretty much hated Colton from day one, which is odd for me since I usually like the over the top heels. However, I would be interested in seeing a "Good, Bad and Ugly" season, if only to see how Jeff reacts to seeing NaOnka show up. In addition, I've been re-rereading The Funny 115. I've lost it approximately 13 times so far, and I'm only at #92 on the original list.

So a few thoughts since I finally watched the episode.
Cochran winning was so obvious that it was anti-climatic. So anti-climatic that I wrote this before I saw the result. Still pretty deserved, at least from the group he was in.
While I didn't think Sherri deserved to win I'm not sure why everyone was being such a prick to her (though I was no fan of her opening speech), the ones who bothered to ask her anything. She did what she did to get to the end. I'm not sure why she's getting faulted for that. And I was glad she snapped at Erik. She had nothing to lose and he was acting like a colossal dick. Plus, who wants to hear an advice like that from a guy who made the dumbest move in Survivor history. Not even a dumb strategic move, just a dumb dumb no brainer sort of dumb move. It's one of the things I would have told him, knowing that I had no shot anyway. Basically "yeah, I did what I did to get here and wasn't the strongest player, but at least I can say I've been here as opposed to giving away my ticket here like a total moron."
If I were Dawn when Reynold did his act I would have used the most profane adjectives I could find, using the word a-hole as my pairing verb. Though the stuff I would do (or would want to do...I talk big but I'm more diplomatic when the chips are lied down) would make it likely I'd never win. The teeth thing was so pointless I'm having trouble comprehending it.
On a small note am I the only one who rolls my eyes at that stupid smug look that some members of the jury give when Probst says "now the power in this game shifts to the jury." As you can see I tend to hate the jury's attitude a lot in general, though I don't know how much of it is genuine and how much of it is coached up.

So I'm getting more in touch with my Survivor fandom. Does anyone know of any YouTube channels with episodes on them?

Haven't come here all season cause I was basically behind until right now and didn't want to get spoiled.
I hate fans/favorites survivor seasons... its basically disadvantage/advantage... if the tribes were mixed half and half of the two, then the playing field would be a little more even.
Too many hidden immunity idols. again. Three all game should be max.
That said, was impressed that they were able to pull off voting Phillip out. A little surprised that the group didn't attempt to take more control of that moment... but if I was put in their situation, I might have gone into "survival mode" and allowed phillip to be voted out instead of potentially me.
Never understand why people seeing their name written down on the votes doesn't clue them in to their standing within the group. "oh, that guy thinks his best chance of staying in the game is if I'm voted out... ah well, I'm sure its nothing".
Noticed the pre-jury wasn't up there with the rest... thought maybe they were scaling back and not bringing everyone in just to sit there and not get mic time. Didn't realize they were in the audience(listened more than watched the reunion show). Nor did I realize that brandon was banned... not that I really blame them based solely on what happened on the show... let alone what may have happened off camera.
I liked that cochran won. I know its a social game, but I hate winners that win cause they didn't cause as much conflict. When after the season you remember more of what the 2nd/3rd place person did than the winner, its annoying. Predictable? Yes. Don't care tho.
"Blood thicker than water" came to mind when seeing the promo... i'm sure it has been talked to death already, but I expect family members to appear on the show together... that or family of past survivor players.
Hopefully next season I can follow along with everyone.

Not sure about Youtube, usually I find various scenes and challenges, but I have yet to see full episodes. I just buy the ones I want on iTunes, but I know not everybody has that. Plus for some reason, they're missing the first episode and reunion show for Palau. And they don't have any seasons prior to Vanuatu. Which sucks because I want to see Amazon and Pearl Islands.
