Season 23 confirms Survivor is a flawed game
19 December 2011
Warning: Spoilers
When Russell Hantz lost what the jury vote the second time around a few seasons ago, he said the game was flawed. He's right, whenever the fan (Sprint) favorite differs significantly from the jury vote, it means the jury can't think objectively. It comes down to who played the best game--who outlasted, outwitted and outplayed everyone else--not some petty jealously because they were voted off themselves.

In this season that just ended (23), Coach should have easily won given that Ozzy didn't make it to the final three. Sophie did absolutely nothing, she just happened to be at the right place at the right time. Coach played the best game by far but people but some of the jury were offended because he lied to them. I was shocked when Sophie won; probably the least deserving winner in the history of Survivor. I guess crying prior to the jury vote helps.

My top 3 players of all time are: 1) Russell Hantz 2) Rob Mariano 3) Ozzy 4) Coach, who really played an excellent game this season.

I wish the producers of the show would switch locations, it looks like Season 24 will be at the same place as the last five. They must be in cost cutting mode.

Also wish Jeff Probst could come up with some new lines. For example, instead of saying "Once again, immunity is back up for grabs." he could say "Once again, this is an immunity challenge." Not so hard, is it?
