due to covid there was no reunion show at all they just have them on zoom for the final reading of the votes but we have the whole finale to get to first. natalie uses her advantage to win her way back from the edge and has an hidden immunity idol to boot using her fire tokens. after a long chat with the 13 losers of the challenge. natalie reveals to the final 6 that tony is the front runner with the jury which has sarah worried in the first history repeat michelle comes from behind to win the exact same challenge she won in kaoh rong when she needed to and she needed it this time as well. natalie is the main target but tony is worried corretly about an idol and wants to split with denise as michelle has immunity. michelle and natalie agree to target ben as the first choice as tonys idol is public knowledge but bens is not. at tribal the sexism of jeff comes up and sarah is often referede to now as her last name lucina. in the end natalie plays her idol saving her unfortunately (not as a big a fan of her as i was last time) this prompts tony to sort of waste his idol as he got no votes but ben the only person i dispise left more than natalie by the end of the night plays his idol negating the other two votes and for the third time (all in all returnee seasons) it is a 0-0 tie. so they have to ovte between denise and lucina (sarah) the only two not immune and denise is voted out 4-0 (as denise and sarah can’t vote). that night tony looks for another idol but its natalie again who finds one. tony wins his 4th immunity challenge in a close race with ben. the majority target michelle unfortunately but suddenyl ben wants to go home so sarah can put a move on her resummee that tony doesn’t have crazy but it works and ben is finally voted out 3-2 over michelle (natalie plays her idol that goes without saying as the final 5 is the last chance to play one). natalie wins the final immunity challenge which is the catching ball one we have had a few times lately at the end and its clear michelle is going to the ifinal 3 for some reason tony is now the obvious person to get out natalie considers putting her in the spot of fire making but she puts sarah in the spot of fire making against tony (i will note sophie is not well and not at tribal) sarah becomes the record breaking 16th juror after losing an emotional challenge. michelle has made it two appearences and never voted out and in one of the most wide open final tribals somehow gets no votes (it is understood that it was to prevent natalie from winniing in a tie). natalie gets a few votes from the edge but is also critiercised from rob especially for her strategy but gets jeremys vote (the 2nd time thats happened), tyson, ethan and parvati. but the rest including for the 2nd time sarah give tony the title of survivor king and the two million dollars 12-4-0 and he did deserve it. there is no reunion show as i said above and because of the long lay off (the next season didn’t premiere for a year and a half) there was no preview for season 41. but we will be covering 41-43 this week (i don’t have access to 44 yet).
now to the player ratings and this one had few dislikeable players at all and history will repeta itself for most liked and disliked.
amber – didn’t have a chance to play much not much to say eihter. 50/50
dani – a bit of a mixed bag but taken out to soon to get a opinion. 50/50
ethan – again likeable but not his best showing. like
rob – after two good appearences early on and a medium appearence his last two tarnished his legacy for me. dislike
sandra – another mixed bag historically and this is not a good one. dislike
parvati – likeable again but not perfect. like
yul – not much likeable but wasn’t obvious much. dislike
wendell – not his best appearence. dislike
adam – a complete mixed bag this season. 50/50
tyson – rivals blood vs water for his most likeable. like
sophie – despite being a frontruner was a non-factor till the last two eps shes in and than her reactions and strategy hurts her. dislike
kim – a bit all over the place but mostly likeable. like
jeremy – one of my constant favourites from this cast. like
nick – similar to david vs goliath likeable almost until thte end but lost a bit. like
denise – the last one i had no precived notion of and is ok. 50/50
ben – again the most dislikeable just his attitude and way treating people like adam and jeremy when they where on the bottom. most disliked
sarah – by far my favourite appeaernec of her and have little negavtive to say. like
michelle – she was even better than kaoh rong this time in likeableness and while i don’t think she couldh ave won against tony if natalie was the third finalist she should have been runner-up i’m giving her the most liked again. most liked
natalie – was doing ok most of the season but the way she messed the end game puts her in the dislike category. dislike
tony – same as sarah but a deserved winner. like
most liked – michelle most disliked – ben.
