Poor Michelle. She still had a hell of a season and basically completely turned around the fan perception of her.

I find the random vocalizing really jarring.

Whelp, I would have enjoyed a Nat or Michelle win more but I can't be mad about a Tony win. He earned it and controlled tat end game right up until Nat got back in. And while I'm not nearly as critical of Nat's game she just didn't do enough to get the votes.

On the bright side we avoid SO MUCH anger about EoE winning again for years to come. On the flip side we now get years of "Is Tony the greatest ever?" debate and vitriol.

There is no next season preview, just Jeff saying it's coming and asking for 16-19 year olds to apply for whatever reason.

I don't think it meant anything, he just was encouraging people to try out. But if it means anything its probably that they want to follow a season of moms and dads with a season of young people.

man its actually really weird not having a reunion. winning a couple million bucks is cool but winning through a zoom chat is hella underwhelming. even worse, like michelle and nat there just to be relatively alone at a computer srceen a few seconds after finding out they dont win.

Ultimately a fun season with a real good finale and a satisfying winner, even if I thought it lost steam for me personally at the end there. It was one of the few things the last couple of months that really gave me "escape" and fun.

I hope my bad mood or contrarianism didn't hurt the night for anyone.

I dunno, I could almost see them running a BvW season but have it entirely parents on 1 tribe and teens on another tribe. Especially if they can't get out to a remote island resort anytime soon.

The lack of applause and cheers as the votes come out was weird.

I usually don't make it through the reunion when they have one though, so I can't say I miss it all that much. Behind the scenes clips are cool, when you can see all the crew and cameras everywhere.

I feel like even Survivor is smart enough not to want half a dozen teenagers on their show.

But they did do the race season. And the class system. And its the same channel that does Big Brother. So I guess anything is possible.

He said they were planning to still be on in the fall. It sounds to me like they're are going to have to film in the US because of covid restricting international travel but they are taking advantage of this to have younger contestants on. It reminds me of the amazing race season that was all family teams so some contestants were really young. They were only in the states for that one for that reason.

Reunions were best in the early seasons when it was a national phenomenae and there was still a lot of "social experimenting" going on. It still seems like an important cap to the show. It's just loving weird to have them go from final tribal to.... wait for X months to find out. It's one thing when theres a big live event, but in the oldest days they did it right then and there in the final tribal. jeff shouldve just predicted the pandemic and made the call to read the votes right then and there on voting day

Ignore my doomerism, I don't think better things are possible
I was glad to see Sarah lose the fire making challenge.

She didn't play a great game at all. Michelle at least tried to scrap and find a way to survive from day to day, while Sarah just hid behind Tony. They weren't equals in that partnership. Tony ran the show, went behind Sarah's back to save Jeremy, who she was voting out, and she just kept on trucking as a loyal soldier following orders. She wasn't even thinking about how to win until Nat returned from the Edge and told her Tony has everyone's votes unless you do something.

Denise may have checked out at the end, but she still had thoughts of building up her resume for the end. As much as Ben sucked, he had an agenda of getting out Jeremy, and then offered himself up to help Sarah build her resume. What did Sarah do on her own?
