If Ben hadn't won, this would have been the most disappointing ending ever.

What an awesome ending. One of the BEST yet!!

Ben was so bummed out losing that challenge, and then he heard what the final twist was. It sure saved his bacon!

I totally enjoyed the look on Devon's face as he was desperately trying to light the fire and knew his smug goose was cooked. It sure wiped the smile off his pretty face eh? HA!

I can't see it being true. I can't see them directing him over beside that box where the final immunity necklace was, and the final fire challenge would have been decided long before the game ever began.

To have a "fixed" game would wipe the credibility of Survivor off the map and people would quit watching a rigged show. I think/hope Ben just got VERY lucky.

Glad to see that Ben won, he seemed to put his heart into this game and deserved it. He was extremely lucky to find that last idol. and his second chance for the final 3 with the fire making challenge was much deserved after losing immunity.

Ben "finding" three idols in a row will always put an asterisk on this one for me.


I liked the season but the last few episodes kind of ruined it for me.


Enough with all the damn idols.

It doesn't change the fact that as viewers we don't want to see commercials, it just ruins the show. They break for five minutes of commercials, then go back to the show for 18 seconds, then go back to commercials! CBS Sucks, Big Brother is the same way.

Guys I'm back in my original boat of Ben that dude deserves it all after what he has overcame the past few weeks.

I hope Chrissy doesn't get one vote just because her attitude and superiority mannerism we all know Ryan won't get any surely he won't?
I was so happy with the outcome of the fire challenge. So happy Ben won.

I lost respect for Devon when he voted for that whining POS Ryan. I thought Dimples was a tall guy, how tall can Devon be??? The kid was handsome with short hair.

I loved the looks on Chrissy and Ryan's faces when Ben won the fire.

The vets reunion was awesome. Brought tears to my eyes.

Good ending. Gave me back a little faith that good can overcome bad. Sometimes.

Hope to see y'all next season.

I thought the same thing! How tall is Devon?! lol I actually looked up Dimples height, seems he's 5'9"ish, looks a bit shorter than that, dunno. So Devon is probably 6'3"ish.

Glad to see Ben win. Lawl - I thought for sure he was done but he got very lucky, or made the luck looking all night. Never liked Chrissy but have to give it to her, she dominated challenges by never giving up. Probably a few too many puzzles but meh, mixing it up is good. Anyway, pleased he won and she got a big taste of humble pie.

Lost respect for Devon based on his vote. I mean, Ryan?! Heh, kind of a wasted vote on a floater.

The after show thingy was shorter this time and too frantic. It seemed loud and moving too much. Disappointed Probst now ignores the other players. They showed up so let them say something. Seems only fair.

I set the DVR to record the show(s), then wait until about 20 minutes in and start watching. I can speed through the commercials and watch the show in near real time.

Exact same. I watched the King of the Hill rerun at 8:00 on Adult Swim, then switched to Survivor and fast-forwarded the commercials. It's the only way to travel.
