Tina wins, what an upset. The player with no
immunities, no strategy and no real distinctness wins
the title of Surivior of Australia. The man who won
the most immunity challenges, and won the most reward
challenges lost the game. That is illogical.
The episode begins with the final three making
idols out of wood to sacrifice to the vast Outback of
Australia. Each of them tosses them before a great
waterfall after a time of reflection. Keith proclaims
he enjoyed the game even though he believed he would
not make it to the final two. Colby contemplates all
that the land has given to him. It put food in his
belly and kept him warm. Tina contemplates the little
things she misses from home.
Then the final immunity challenge commences. Its a
memory game with questions about he previous
castaways of Survivor. What made the questions really
tough was that some of them were based on answers
given by contestants on their game application forms.
Most of the questions were of a sort that only the
Survivor contestants would know that few watching at
home would. The questions included who had tattoes,
and who spent many years in Germany among others.
Colby wins the challenge against Tina, as Keith had
to bail out of the competitition early because the
laws of math and how many he hadn't got right ensured
that he could not win.
Then it was off to Tribal Council. Tina gives a
speech about how the best player deserves to win and
not because the jury got their feelings hurt by
someone. Colby gives a modest speech about how he
wasn't sure he deserved to win but that he felt he
had good all around skills that perhaps should make
him the winner.
The jury then trots out to ask questions.
Elizabeth the pretty girl that I thought was going to
vote for Tina because she also was a woman, decided
to vote for Colby instead. Jerry voted for Tina with
her reason being that she tricked Colby into allowing
her to be up there in the final two. That was the
mark of a good Survivor player to Jerry. Muscle girl
Alicia voted for Tina to win rather than Colby. That
was truly baffling as her hard working body builder
mentality one would think would lend her to vote for
the better player with the most immunity winnings
which would have been Colby instead.
Then the scene changes and the host Jeff takes the
vote tallies to CBS studios in America. There the
contestants gather live and the results of the winner
of the show are revealed live. Tina wins by one vote.
Tina's victory shows the idiocy of the jury and
makes one question if the tribal votes should
actually pick a final winner at all if the jury will
pick the meek over the strong, and pick a loser, or
rather an almost "non combatant" over the
man who won the most tribal immunities since the
tribes merged. If the man that engineered who the
final three would be does not deserve to win, then
just who would? It would have almost been better to
pick someone who was voted off before than to let
Tina win.
