Wait for my go
Another Survivor season is behind us, and it went out with a whimper, rather than a bang. While most of us were expecting Sue Hawk-style jury speeches, we got watered down questions to the final two of Blubbering Lil and Fiery Sandra. Even Johnny Fairplay, who hinted that he would "not play fair" during the jury questioning, did nothing more than a Vinny Barberino-esque strut into Tribal Council and the idiotic hand signal, not to mention the 70's porn star mustache.

I was expecting more, I guess. For what I think has been the strongest Survivor season since the first one, I thought the finale would be a bit more exciting.

The final four, though, were less than awe-inspiring. First, Darrah, who suddenly was very bitter that she got voted out, but barely made a peep throughout the season, probably the best example of "under the radar" in a long time. She never had a clear-cut strategy, except to remain invisible, and it bought her fourth place.

Jon -- too much has been said about him already. When he finally had to fend for himself in a challenge, it became obvious that the only part of the game he had mastered was "outwit." Although I, myself, would call him a "nitwit". (Sorry)

By the time Lill won final two immunity, I just wanted to mute her every time she opened her mouth. Waah waah waah, I shouldn't have worn the scout uniform but I'll still wear it to finale night even though I don't want to represent the scouts, and I'm a good person even though I lied to everyone and screwed them all over and followed whatever Burton said until something better came along. Poor, poor Lill.

And Sandra, the winner by default... did she really outwit, outplay, and outlast? Let's see. The outwit part... she fell for Jon's schemes time and time again, so, no to that... Outplay? Did she ever win an individual immunity or reward? Negative. Outlast? That's about all she did. Just like she said, "as long as it was anyone else but me." Maybe she did some wheeling and dealing that we were never privy to.

The reunion show was, again, disappointing. I wanted Jon to be strung up by his toes and tortured in plain sight for all to see. But we actually had people congratulating him, and Lill of all people patting him on the back for pulling off the dead grandmother lie. They are a lot more forgiving than I would be in that situation, I guess.

And an A-plus to Jiffy's fabulous couture. That pattern shirt was quite spiffy on Jiffy. I was a bit disappointed that we didn't have a "Jiffy transports the votes via helicopter" sequence.

On a good note, Rupert is feeling much better about himself, and was basking in the Rupert-Love. Good for him, I say. I hope he beats some ASS next season.

And now, I will go into a month-long Survivorless funk.
