Survivor Caramoan Finale and Reunion Show Discussion Thread

[catchnrelease]

7. A good season in the end

The beginning of the season was pretty rocky, but the last half turned out to be great. I'm happy that Cochran won, he played a flawless game. I wonder what kind of things he is interested in writing about. I like his self deprecating sense of humor, so I bet he'd be a good writer.

I never did see Eddie as any threat, unless they took him to FTC on purpose. He was pretty lame at challenges and I can't recall if he won any at all. People kept saying "If Eddie wins the next 2 challenges he'll make it to the end and could get enough votes." Physically it seemed like he should be able to win, but couldn't pull it off. (There was a tweet from Malcolm posted somewhere, that the 'whole cast sent up a cheer when Eddie finally got his first puzzle piece' in the last challenge. That's pretty sad!) It's like he really didn't get how to play the game and was just out there having a great time, which is ok I guess.

I was relieved that Dawn didn't get anything. I don't know why I felt she was so unlikeable. All of the waterworks and drama did not endear her to me at all, but I think it was more than that. She was definitely not to be trusted, and I think we discussed that early in the season--anyone that confided in her got back-stabbed right away when she ran back to tell Cochran. But figuring out who you can trust is a basic part of the game, and too many people trusted her too easily, so I can't blame her for that part of it. Maybe she was just too needy and used the others for support when she wanted it, and then was able to blindside them later.

I didn't like the reunion show. Like several of the last ones, too much time is wasted with 'extraneous' people in the audience. What the heck did they need to drag out Rudy and Hatch for???? That was crap imo! And the little fan girl to try to talk about Malcolm? Geez, who cares? Talk to the people that played the game. Yay for Malcolm getting the fan fave money, I'm sure he will be back.

Not sure how I feel about the next rumored cast. Why bring back people that have won already--if some of the rumors turn out to be true? They need to get back to all new people for awhile, and quit doing things like Redemption Isl. etc. Just play plain old Survivor. I guess I'll be watching in any case, unless a Hantz show up.

I enjoy reading everyone's comments on the shows, even if I don't comment much.
