Anyone watch the finale and - if so - your opinions?

I watched it (as I do every season). I was kinda surprised when Danni won, I dunno, I guess I was kinda expecting Stephenie to win.

I was glad Danni won. I was all about Stephenie at first, because I liked her last season but she quickly wore on me.

I came in half-way through Season 1, saw Season 2 (I believe) as well as All-Star and this one. May have seen some other seasons, too, but my memory is faulty. I love this show and am looking forward to next season.

As am I, mostly because it may be Probst's last season. What a tool.

Me too! Been watching Survivor since the very first season.

How so?

I missed the first season. Actually I caught the very last show and when Susan stood there telling that girl that she offer her a glass of water if she was dying of thirst in the gutter....I thought to myself What the hell happened on this show to get that reaction. Been hooked ever since.

I was gunning for Stephanie, never ever once cared about this Danni chick. blech!

Supa! Yeah, there was a lot of drama between Susan and that other girl (they just did not get along!).

I thought Judd was just trying to be another Susan from the first season. He wants to be remembered for saying something attacking and viscious, and it just isn't the same shock as it was the first time. What gets me is when the players get on someone's case for lying, but they did it the whole show too.

Uuuuugh, I didn't like Judd at all (cocky, arrogant know-it-all).

I came in late in the first season, too, and that speech also blew my mind. That is what is so compelling about the show - it is partially an ethics exercise.

psychodelicide said:

Well, there was drama at the end because the show was new and these people didn't realize that, in order to snag the mil, they would have to lie. Interestingly, people realize that going in now, but it doesn't seem to dull the hurt they feel.

I thought his reaction was genuine (if ironic - he was as much or more of a "scumbag" than any of the rest).

psychodelicide said:

Just little things that showed her immaturity - referring to things that annoy her as "gay" or "retarded." Also, like she admitted, last season people only saw her nice side and this season was the not so nice side. I'm glad she didn't get it just because she didn't win last time. I thought people would play up the sympathy and award her the dough because of that. Obviously, they didn't. Annoyance aside, she was a fierce competitor, and I'm glad they brought both her and crazy ass Bobby John back for more.

Judd? Eh. I'd rather not waste my time thinking about that
