Originally Posted By seanyoda Given that Danielle already had backed out of a pledge with Terry (when Courtney was voted out), I'm not surprised that he didn't give Danielle the hidden idol. I'm absolutely sure that if Terry had given Danielle the idol, Danielle would have shown the others and he would have been voted out.

That leaves Courtney, Shane, and Bruce. I'm not sure how each of them would vote. Aras vs. Cirie -- Cirie wins.
Originally Posted By Lisann22 I don't know if Bruce will vote for Terry - he wimped out many times before he got sick and stayed with others. I don't think he's a lock.

Originally Posted By nevadarebel anyone watching this yet??? I have been to the spoilers so I already know what happens. Can't wait to see the reaction from everyone.

Originally Posted By nevadarebel I am a sicko and like knowing but will watch the entire show. I also don't ruin it for those that do not want to know. I will be back later to see what everyone thinks!
Originally Posted By seanyoda Well, that was a bit anti-climactic. Once Danielle won the fire challenge, I said, "We know who's going to finish second." I would have liked to have seen the reward challenge appear earlier in the game (meaning before the final 4) rather than as an added challenge. It was a cool combination of mental and physical tests. When they unvieled the immunity challenge, I'm sure a whole bunch of folks were thinking, "Oh boy, a challenge stacked in favor of Danielle." The final tribal council was a dissapointment too. I wanted better questions. I thought Danielle gave better answers, but the quality of the answers doesn't really impact the results. For me, the highlight of tribal council was Terry's voting confessional, "I'm just too used to writing your name down." The lowlight was Shane's, "Pick a number" question. Oh well, Aras wins the million. Ho hum.
Originally Posted By nevadarebel I agree about the let down, I was hoping that there would be some good fireworks from the jury. Shane was about as close as it gets with his comment about not wanting to vote for either of them because Terry should win but then to do the pick a number bit. Also Courtney's comment about the knives in the back. I agree about the challenge being suited for her though, she is lighter and shorter so her gravity is better. Once she won, there was no doubt that she was 2nd place. I don't think it mattered who she picked it was a 2nd place finish. The spoiler websites had Aras finishing first from the beginning.
Originally Posted By trekkeruss <<The lowlight was Shane's, "Pick a number" question.>> I don't know if Shane's vote would have made a difference (what was the final tally?) but Aras was incredibly stupid for choosing the number four out of a million. Unless Shane was thinking four or less, Danielle could choose the number five and win Shane's vote.
Originally Posted By Chelledun ^^I think maybe he thought the whole thing was silly. He seemed kind of halfhearted about it. I think I personally would have been tempted to say I didn't want to pick a number and just vote for who you think played better...that's probably why I wouldn't be good at the jury thing .
Originally Posted By Shooba Yeah, it was a pretty dull finish. They need to make the final challenge more of a test of will, as opposed to a test of strength (which a man is more likely to win) or the challenge this season (which Danielle won easily). At least the season as a whole was entertaining.
Originally Posted By hopemax I even thought the reunion show was boring. Too much "What did you learn about yourself?/I learned a lot about myself." Usually on these things, you can see how the relationships that started on the island continued back home and some funny stories, people talking over each other a bit. But it didn't seem like any long term bonds were formed. There weren't friends up there, there were people who spent a month on an island together, and then went on with their lives, nice to see each other at a media event, maybe a Christmas card.
Originally Posted By nevadarebel Shanes vote did not matter, it was 5-2. Bruce and Shane were the only ones to vote for her.
Originally Posted By Lisann22 Wow - Courtney is just out there. LOL! I loved the look on the other jury participants faces when she was jabbering. Aye yi yi!
Originally Posted By nevadarebel she was out there the whole show. She is definately a free spirit. I didn't really care for her (I have too many like her personality that I deal with every day) but I did like watching her with her luxury item when she was doing the fire thing, that was very cool.
Originally Posted By Chelledun ^^yeah, the fire dance was cool. It made me wish they still allowed the contestants to each bring a luxury item. I think it adds some fun to camp when someone brings body paints or whatever and it helps give the viewers a little more glimpse into the personalities of the castaways. Of course, I am so cavity prone my luxury item would have to be toothpaste, which isn't real exciting.
