Tape Watcher, you rule!What an incredible finale! I'm so happy! I'm so happy for you, Ethan, and I know you're reading this! I hope the money makes you happy and I think it will. It was clear that he was going to invest it wisely. $1,000,000 doesn't go far these days. Cautious Tina already went through hers. Did Richard go through his? Ethan's fame should last. He's a smart, smart guy and so sweet.
MamaKat(as they called her) was this year's Colby. She just handed it to Ethan. Wow! A woman her age winning BOTH final immunity challenges! Unbelievable! Wow! I love her! She looked even happier than Ethan! I could tell she didn't need the money. I mean, it's nice and all,but her great satisfaction was proving to herself that she could WIN! It's a great validation for mature women! Something you NEVER see on television! Mamakat will now be a television presence until forever, as will Tom, who I can see turning into a male version of Dolly Parton. I mean, he could host Grand Ole Opry shows and he's a great entertainer!
He didn't stop! I was LMAO at that dance number!
I'm so pleased! So happy for Ethan! So happy for MK! What an unbelievable episode!
And TapeWatcher! Well, you were following your star, and I knew you were right!
When you put a star filter on someone(it's a lens attachment over the camera, very simple) then voila! They are a star! It's a trick that goes back to Jean Harlow and further. And they often shot Ethan with a star filter. Also, he had NO VOTES against him until the end. Like Tina. Amazing...
I think Ethan's got great potential as an actor too. In films, more than television.
Tapewatcher had it all down.
But I have to admit that I, Rose Red, have had an Ethan Zohn screensaver on my computer since the beginning of S3. Ethan is the first face I see every morning, and the last at night. I don't know if I'll ever take it down.
Tina Wesson in the audience looked so relieved! Like "Now it's over and he can take all the attention!" And I bet Ethan will. He'll approach all this like a sober investment banker type of guy and make that million last the rest of his life, and his fame, too, if he wants it.
That Kelly, though, she totally lost me. What a spiteful little B****! Though I have to say her spoilers were the best, in their own way. That "Graduate" number thing was just so stupid and immature. I love that movie, personally, as film critic(that's what I do mainly) and I admire her taste in films, but please! Pick a number! She insulted them both!
I was so proud of Ethan and MK! MK basically figured out the end game of the show! How astounding! Did anyone get this right? I know this is what OFG said based on Kelly's spoilers "Fun at the lodge". She, OFG, had the greatest insights into these people. She was the one who picked up on the fact of Kelly's "mending time" with Ethan and MK to be majorly missing.
And that was the key. I don't think that ANYBODY in SpoilerLand got that except our own OFG, and she was right!
Well, I'm gonna miss everybody here at Blows, and it's been a pleasure and privelege trying to solve all these mysteries with yawl. I just may try my hand at one some day. Survivor Blows is an inspiring place to post. The minds are so sharp, so perceptive. The writing level is so high. I'm thrilled to have been able to participate, and no, Lex's disabled son cut no swath with the jury at the end. Or rather with MK, whose decision it was.
MB did not edit MK as a winner. He hid her. Ethan also, but not as much, and their Tina/Colby relationship really was very beautiful in the end, but this time the roles were reversed. I loved it! I know I'd seen it before, but I was touched very deeply by it.
Richard and Tina Must be so happy tonight that their predictions came true. And a straight guy finally won Survivor, something MB wanted DESPERATELY.
The show started off very badly with Bush's preemption, and then the vile water, and they're being trapped in the bomas like LIFEBOAT. If MB is the new Hitchcock, this is his LIFEBOAT. All these disperate, desparate people, trapped in this claustrophobic situation. (They should only try living in NEw York City) Well, actually, Ethan and MK are both fellow New Yorkers...I'm so, so thrilled! Congratulations to Ethan and Kim and Mark Burnett and Out Front Girl! Out Front Girl, you Out Did yourself this season.
I can't wait til I see you all again in the Marquesas!
I'll say one last thing. For a quasi-travel program, S3 has totally killed any aspirations I ever had to go to Africa. Onward to Tahiti!
