At the beginning of the season, I had 2 people I would have loved to see win and I was pretty sure neither would ever have a prayer of winning. I was right about one but dead wrong about the other.

Sophie won tonight by a landslide and I was happy to see a woman win Survivor because that doesn't happen all that often (Dawn was my other choice - at least she was in the jury!).

I agree with you Gaea - Coach went back on his "word as a Christian man" and I was happy to see him get so few votes. In the end, he knew if he went head-to-head against Ozzy, he would lose, so he tried to go for the win and made himself look like a complete ass.

Albert got -zero- votes and shouldn't have even been up in the final three as far as I'm concerned.

At least at the reunion Ozzy acknowledged what a strong and intelligent player Sophie was and at the very end, seeing them hug was nice because it meant all the "brat" talk was water under the bridge.

Next season looks interesting - they didn't even hint at where it would be but they said that it would be a different game in that both tribes would live in the same place. That could stir up some nice juicy shit to watch week after week because this season was kind of boring. I, personally, like to see dog-eat-dog back-stabbing, drama, fights, emotional breakdowns, and blind-sides in my Survivor ... otherwise, why the hell am I watching? lol

I almost forgot - Russell said that he was not happy with Brandon's play and Brandon said his whole family was disappointed and that they said he didn't live up to the Hantz family name - which says a lot about that fucked up family. Jeff suggested next season have Russell on one tribe and Brandon on the other to duke it out.
