I guess she got a couple extra days of jury time, where they get to sit by the pool and pig out (anybody else think they talk strategy with themselves there?), but that still seems like a very short time. Malcolm said that he still hasn't fully recovered from his back-to-back seasons, so I suspect it would have been tough to go from Survivor body to pregnant body so quickly!

I found her very arrogant and the thing that really annoyed me was how she kept publicly celebrating when a member of the Three Amigos got out in a challenge - I know it's the game, but I always hate that, I think it takes it to a more personal level. I preferred Cochrane this time around to his last season, but he still annoyed me - I actually think he got quite cocky this time around. He was my pick out of the final three (couldn't stand Dawn or Sherri), but I definitely would have preferred Malcolm for the win, loved him. So happy he got the fan favourite vote! >>From the way they were talking before tribal, it sounded like there is some sort of monetary prize for second place.<< Geek answer coming up! Runner-up gets $100 000. There's actually a monetary reward for everyone in the show, I think the first person voted out gets about $1000 (not bad for three days' work!) In the case of a tie apparently they take the 2nd and 3rd winning amounts and split them - I read Dawn saying they get about $92 000 each, so I guess third place must get $80 000 normally.
