He did not disappoint last night. Teeny just doubling down. 
and someone get Jeff some champagne!
Going into final tribal I thought for sure Rachael but after the questions and final thoughts Sam convinced me he had a chance.
Sue really thought she was fooling people about her age??
He has Chris Noble potential. I don’t make Chris Noble comparisons lightly.
I thought it was pretty obvious in the montage before the final jury where the jury members were talking about the remaining players games and why they should win, and the best they could come up with for Sue was "She played a loyal game. And that's a choice, I guess."Going into final tribal I thought for sure Rachael but after the questions and final thoughts Sam convinced me he had a chance.

Ther were probably shocked she was only 59. Looked and acted 69. As usual in the finals it ends up a two person choice. I thought Sam would get maybe 2-3 with Rachel getting the rest. The coat tail riders get no votes. In fact Sue only got 1 vote against her the whose season proving that no player viewed her as any threat. Those types are always carried.
It was obvious halfway through the final tribal nobody was asking Sue anything that she would not get a vote.
Sue might be in her 60s where she lives, but in Fiji she's much younger.
Well idk where Fiji is exactly (beyond generally Pacific) but with the international date line...I've been in NZ on Christmas and arrived home on Christmas Eve before!
The only people I knew would never vote Sam over Rachel were Caroline and Teeny. I wound not have been surprised by any result ranging from 6-2 Sam to 8-0 Rachel. I would guess that the jury decided well beforehand that Rachel would win if she got to the end. Unlike in 46 where a bunch of them changed their minds at FTC. But that’s OK, each jury is different and it would be boring if they were all the same.
7-1-0

Charlie was great! Thanks to people in this thread who turned me onto the podcast, it is a fun listen!
100%. My wife and usually have an older season playing on a low burn.
This. Let em feel the hunger without being given a rice handout. It's part of the game. Ha ha
Listen to this man Probst!
I'm with you on the firemaking at final 4. But, I don't know of another solution. Don't like the possibility of a 2 vs 2 vote and what that could mean.
A 2 vs 2 vote means ... firemaking.
Well, I guess that gives them the option to possibly make it 3 v 1 instead of it automatically being a firemaking.
Elsewhere on the internet I've seen the suggestion of the three people who don't win the F4 immunity challenge all go into firemaking, and the last one to burn their rope is out.
My son is on the autism spectrum and because of that I am rooting for Eva and Joe more than I have ever rooted for any contestant after one episode. Some of what she described is exactly what my son goes through, and to have someone who "gets it" immediately is incredibly valuable. (Selfishly, it doesn't hurt that Joe was my winner pick and I have him on both of my Survivor fantasy teams.)So....it got dusty in here for me on this premiere. I wouldn't have normally watched a show like Survivor, just wasn't a reality show person. My son was born May 25, 2000 and had to spend multiple weeks in the NICU. While in the NICU, I didn't have control over the TV and I watched the first episode of Survivor. I thought it was pretty cool, but was really just focused on him. The next week, I was holding him again in the NICU, and episode 2 came on. I was hooked, I loved all the interplay between the castaways. We got to go home soon after that, and I just kept watching, it was really a national phenomenon early on.
My very same son was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome at age 5, which has now been assimilated into the Autism Spectrum. He is the most kind hearted person I know, very smart, but lacks some of the same social cues that Eva mentioned. We have watched Survivor together for years and I love when he tells me how he would play, then quickly noting that he's too believing and that someone would likely take advantage of him
I fully believe Joe when he told Eva that he had her, and I teared up. I will be rooting for these 2 as 1A and 1B the entire season. I think they are both gems.
I don't care for Sai, too aggressive and almost bullyish. Jury is out on Kevin with his hurt shoulder. Not a fan of the stunt guy as an early impression. The California Girls seems like a fun early alliance. I can't remember the guy who broke his jar in the challenge, but I thought that was a standup thing to do to help Kevin out, so pretty positive on him. No one else really stood out for me too much.
Kyle, yes. The newest in a long line of players who is a lawyer but pretending not to be one.
I think he would do that. I also think that he could be targeted in the early merge for being a "challenge beast" and she might not be. See Kyle from 47, Hunter from 46, etc.
Correct. We discussed that about him and the stuntman.
He is super dooshy. Tries to act like he’s a lovable nerd. I’m not buying it bud.
No idea why you'd want to keep her around. She will always be two seconds away from going psycho.
They didn't have that for the first 34 seasons and it was just fine. I don't have a strong preference one way or the other but it will be fine without.
The producers put it in because they feared the "best" player was always getting taken out at 4. Now they get taken out at 5 or earlier.
