That completely threw me through a loop. I don't think she has a chance against either one really. If she takes Aras, she screws Terry, who would be her closest ally on the jury.

Started a half hour later here in Raleigh due to severe wx coverage.

Quite a tumble that Aras took there on Slippery Rock. :eek:

Congratulations Aras! :)

Was very nice when Terry presented Cirie with the Survivor Fishing Tournament trophy! :D Also, that the audience voted her to win a car! :D

Very touching story there from Tina about her late son Charlie. :cry:

Congrats Aras! With Cirie gone (that was sad but she was so gracious, as always), I was pulling for Aras first. Danielle just has never done anything for me, she's interested in numero uno, oh yeah, not tribal or team spirit kinda thing. Always playing the game. I don't care what Aras said about her taking care of him before he needed the stitches - she kept holding her champagne glass and wincing at the sight of his blood. Honey, I would have had that glass put down carefully, so no one steps on it, and taken proper care of him. My God, he was about to pass out. Hello, Danielle, you could lend a little help to a fellow human being? Okay, that Survivor rant is over. Glad he won. Real glad!

The flakiest Survivor this time - Courtney. OMG, where to start......she dropped her guns in the sea of forgiveness? And lost the chip on her shoulder? Sigh.....all of her comments just roll into one huge dingy, collassel flaky female image IMHO. Sorry if that offends any other female S2K members but she does not represent us well!

Who does? Cirie - the girl who was afraid of leaves. I will just never forget that. And just flat out saying - that girl won't last long. So happy she won the car!

And finally, Terry. I am still surprised no one said he was too cocky. And should have been more modest, not taken that nasty looking idol out and bragged he had it. On and on he went, week after week. I thought one of them would have said - you needed to be more modest Terry. And then maybe you would have been sitting next to Danielle.

If she hadn't taken Aras though, I would have been really disappointed.

I always feel badly for the contestants who have little air time at the reunion. At least Tina got to have her say. Did anyone catch Cirie's tears after hearing about Tina's son? I'm sure she knew the tragic story by now but it sure looked like it had just hit her. And maybe she shouldn't have eliminated Tina so quickly.

The next season's "Survivor: Cook Islands" looks like something else, too! 8-)

Some of those scenes of (Great White?) sharks, a bat, etc! :)

Can imagine Roy Scheider, Lorraine Gary and Richard Dreyfuss making a guest appearance on that next series? :) 8-) "You're gonna need a BIGGER boat!" Hehe :wink:

Eric 8-)

I can hear the music now in my head Eric!

I have two questions.....Brent you'll probably know how to answer one of them.

#1 - do you we know who the individual jury members voted to win the million? Only a few were shown before the votes were counted. I'd like to know who they each voted for.

#2. Someone please explain Shane's numbers strategy. I just don't get it! Aras picked 4, Danielle picked 10 and when one vote was read, Jeff commented that was from Shane. I'd have to rewind to see it to understand. So who did he vote for and does anyone besides Shane know what the heck he was going for, to be fair I mean?

Thanx much.

Shane voted for Danielle, he had said he wasn't going to vote for Aras anyway so I think the numbers thing was just for his enjoyment.

Bruce and Shane were the two votes for Danielle, everyone else voted for Aras.

Did you forget about Sue??? :lol:

Congrats Aras! Yep once Cerie was gone Aras is who I wanted to win, and I knew that Danielle did not have a chance against either one of those two. Terry just happened to be on the wrong tribe to begin with or he might have just won. The cooks islands looks good, I wonder what the twist is with exile island?

The twist - you share exile island with Shane, sans smokes and coffee!

LOL!

I wonder also what the twist will be.

TV Guide's final Panama Critique:

http://community.tvguide.com/forum.jspa ... =800000021

Survivor
by Ken McGilvray
May 14 2006: Yoga Boy's Got It All Stitched Up…PLUS: Reunion Time
Another season down and another million awarded (along with some sage tax advice from Jeff Probst). Aras might have had a sweep if he had a better answer for Bruce and if Shane hadn't thrown out a pointless question. In any case Aras played a strong game and even earned the respect of rival Terry. As we learned in the reunion, Danielle really had no way to win – she would have had the same 5-2 result if she had picked Terry. I'd like to know what kind of conversation Danielle and Aras had before the final challenge that made him jump off after a simple nod from her. Terry's ouster had the Burnett-inspired foreshadowing all over it. He was too confident after winning the final reward and his trust in Danielle was too firm until she started wavering. And she blamed it on being a Gemini. Who did she think she was – Courtney? Those final endurance challenges are so dull but the editors did a good job catching and magnifying every wiggle. But they really pulled out all the stops for the "fallen comrades" moment. Sure we got the same melodramatic music and the usual "what I learned on the Island" clips, but the huge skull bonfire was pretty cool to watch. And at the final three Tribal Council Aras' "sales pitch" really came to fruition; Terry's torch was finally snuffed, to the obvious chagrin of Sally, Austin and Bruce. In the end the Casaya bonds held tight as one of the strongest alliances in the history of the show.

Aras' misfortune now adds a whole new rule to the unofficial Survivor guidebook – do not guzzle down a mimosa and then go traipsing along slippery rocks. I swear we've seen more of the medical team this season than Melinda, Misty and Ruth Marie combined. Those gashes did look painful, but a million bucks can buy lots of iodine. Plus the sight of the intrepid yoga-boy all bandaged up could only evoke the sympathy of jury members Courtney, Cirie and Sally. In all honesty I was expecting more fireworks from the jury, but instead we got Courtney babbling about the "sea of forgiveness" and becoming a bird and Shane asking one of the dumbest jury questions in the history of the show. I think Danielle really blew it during her final words when she said "I have lots of things coming up in my life and this will really help me." Those are not the things people sitting in bitter judgment want to hear. Aras was much wiser in the amount of jury booty he kissed.

I was waiting for that silly moment with Jeff flying to the reunion show in a helicopter or paragliding in or something, but alas, he just sauntered in without fanfare. Aras' big winning moment was eclipsed by the amount of applause for both Terry and Cirie, but I'm sure he didn't mind. It was great to see Cirie's husband HB again, and I just knew she'd win the truck. She's truly an inspiration to all us armchair Survivors. I'm glad that Bruce is healthy, Tina is coming to terms with her loss and Shane isn't as crazy as he seemed (sort of), but I still didn't learn much about any of the others. So props to Aras, the winner with the most high-maintenance hair in all twelve seasons of Survivor and now…onto the next season in Cook Islands!

Ahhhhhh I really wanted Terry to win. I think he definitely played the game the best. Cirie would have been my next pick.

I still can't get over Cirie's amazing transformation - the girl who was afraid of leaves.

I think next to Rupert, Cirie could become an all time Survivor favorite! If they ever do a Survivor All Stars again, I would imagine they'd ask her back.

I wanted Terry to win for the longest time until he got too cocky and started talking down to the younger members. That is precisely when he lost favor with me.
