Survivor Finale

It's Day 37... and we have our final four... Steph - Last season's Girl next door who for some reason was this season's villian to so many (though I still like Steph, and i like the way she played the game this time) Rafe - The gay Mormon boy who reminds me a little too much of Woddy Allen Lydia - The leprecan fishmonger who somehow made it thru so many vote outs??? and Danni - The skeleton girl They get tree mail and Lydia freaks out like it's the best thing since sliced bread... A group of Mayans came and dumped a lot of food on a fire, including a chicken they killed just for the occasion... what a yummy waste... (or is it?) Immunity challenge: The rules: race through the maze to collect colored puzzle pieces from six stations, then return through the elaborate maze to the puzzle board. When all eight pieces are collected, assemble the puzzle to form one of three images. All four did great in this- I was actually suprised by how well Lydia did... I started to wonder if she was a little stronger than she led them to believe... But everybody's hard work only got them beat by Rafe... So he gets the first immunity of the night. So while Steph tried to tak Rafe into voting out Danni, they came up with the idea of checking out the bar-b-q the mayans left for them. They finally decided that if the mayan gods wanted the chicken, they should have taken it.... but since it was still there, cooked to perfection with a nice honey glaze.... They should eat it. Rafe chose not to participate... You know how those Mormons hate pissing off the Mayan gods.... After their meal, a tropical storm hit the area and freaked them out... They wondered if the gods were pissed at them for eating the chicken... I wondered what kinds of drugs they were on... Enjoy being full folks. Did The production crew eat the chicken? Did Rafe? Did anybody else in Guatemala? They all got the storm too.... At Tribal council, Lydia, the mighty leprecan finally got voted out! It's about time! Next morning, we got treated to the most boring part of any finale... Let's look at pictures of the folks who lost... Where's my remote... it's time to fast forward.... OK cool... Immunity challenge time! holding on to two ropes, balance on a wobbly platform for one hour. After the first hour, release one rope. After thirty more minutes, release the other rope. The last person standing would win a spot in the Final Two. They all made it thru the first hour, and then they had to let go of one of the ropes. At that point, they all lost their balance and ended up leaning on the support poles. After another half hour, they had to let go of their second rope. Right after they got told their hands can't touch the pole, Rafe grabbed his... (figure's Rafe would get eliminated for being a pole grabber)... Steph slowly slid down her pole till she just couldn't stand any more and finally fell on her ass... And with that, Danni makes it to the final two and gets to decide who is going with her. She decided that she had a much better shot at beating Steph than she did at beating Rafe, so rafe was the last person voted out.... The final tribal council bored me to tears... I was hoping for mean and nasty, but got a yawn fest... And then they voted.... And Danni wins! Way to go Danni! And yay! She put some meat back on those bones! I was starting to worry about her out there... First time I have ever seen a real life walking skeleton! So that's it... The reunion show was pretty boring, The season ended ok, but I still don't think it was the "toughest Survivor ever".... So... this is the end:

I was hoping it would be Rafe vs. Danni at the end, and that Rafe would win it, but "Woody Allen" had to go and put his hand on the post! Grrr... I didn't watch teh reunion yet (and will miss the last 20 minutes since it started late and I didn't extend the recording time).

I was going to watch it but then I thought, "Hey, Guppy will talk about it on his blog tomorrow." A whole two hours put into a few paragraphs. Just like I like it.
Thanks for the update, JoeB

I was hoping that Steph would win. I gotta agree with you this season finale was kinda boring.
