Since tonight was the final episode of the "Survivor" season, my blog title seems fitting for what I'm about to post. My final commentary for the season.
There are 5 members left in the Aiga tribe. Four of them are members of the former Foa Foa, and the last remaining Galu member is Brett. Russell wants to get rid of him because he's a threat for both jury votes and physicality.
The second-to-last Immunity Challenge is won by Brett for the 3rd consecutive time, forcing the Foa Foa four to vote out one of their own. Russell wants to keep Natalie around because he thinks she is easy to beat, so he tells Mick to vote Jaison and vice versa, leaving the vote up to Natalie, Russell and Brett. At Tribal Council, Jaison is sent home by a vote of 4-1. I liked Jaison. He was on the verge of quitting a few times, but he stuck it out and I applaud him for that. Peace out Jaison, and congrats on never being a quitter.
Before the castaways head to their final Immunity Challenge, they pay tribute to their fallen soldiers as traditionally done in the final episode. I did that as well tonight, through a video which I will post when I am done. The final Immunity Challenge was a nailbiter. Natalie and Mick went out early, leaving only Brett and Russell. After awhile, Brett is out of the challenge, meaning Russell wins Immunity for the first time. The Foa Foa 3 then go with their original plan to vote out the final Galu member, but Russell has some second thoughts because Brett is deserving of the million dollar prize, so he talks to Brett about it. At Tribal Council, Russell goes against his word and Brett is sent home by a vote of 3-1. I have a little story that I'm gonna tell about Brett, and to do so, I am going to start a new paragraph.
I first decided to keep my eye on Brett at the beginning of the season because he was good-looking, and he seemed like a cool guy based on his pre-show videos. I found him on Twitter and let him know that I was going to keep my eye on him this season. He tweeted me back saying "Just bring some grace when you watch me do silly, stupid things. lol." I didn't see it at first because at the time my computer charger was dead and so I couldn't get on the internet anywhere besides school, so I just happened to check my Twitter one day at school and there his Tweet was in my replies. I added something on Twitter where his updates are sent to my cell phone. So whenever he tweets something to me, someone that I follow, or the whole world, it will show up on my phone. He is the founder of this clothing company that is advocating for healthy body image. I have struggled with that for a long time, so some of his Tweets were really inspiring and uplifiting for me. And then the following Monday I was having a bad day, so I was on the bus home, my crying eyes hidden behind sunglasses, and I sent him a tweet text (or as I say, twext) saying I could really use one of his inspirational Tweets because I was having a really bad day. That Thursday I felt my phone buzz and there was a tweet to me from him saying that he hoped my week had turned out well. I was really surprised and touched that he remembered something. Since then we have kept in close contact on Twitter talking about everything. He is SO sweet and caring and inspiring and always there to make me smile when I need to. So Brett, peace out, you're amazing, and I hope to keep talking to you on Twitter even though this season is over.
Okay, now back to the game. Mick, Natalie and Russell are the final 3, so they get a chance to plead their case for a million dollars to the jury. 9 people that they had a hand in voting out now hold their fate. The final Tribal Council was really fun. Brett gets the award for most awesome and funny question. And no I'm not biased when I say that, it was really awesome and funny. You gotta admit that. At the live reunion show in Los Angeles, it is revealed that Natalie is the Sole Survivor by a vote of 7-2-0 with Mick recieving no votes. I liked Natalie from the beginning of the season til now. She was sort of underestimated. It was her and Jaison's move to vote Erik off that started the demise of Galu, and then she made strong alliances with Russell, Mick, and Brett to stay in the game, and she played it to the end and is now a million dollars richer. Congratulations to Natalie and the remaining castaways. This has been one crazy season of Survivor.
To close out the night, here is a video I made for the season. I made it a few days ago and made some changes based on the order. To close out "Survivor: Samoa", please enjoy this video.
The next season, "Survivor: Heroes vs Villains" begins on February 11th, 2010. I will recap that season and continue to share random thoughts. I hope you continue to read this!
One final thing. I must give a shoutout to another great Survivor commentator, Stephen Fishbach. He was the runner-up of "Survivor: Tocantins" and my favorite contestant of that season. I talk to him on Twitter as well and he has read this blog. He's very nice and has enjoyed reading this blog, and I enjoy reading his as well.
Okay, that's really it for the night! Peace out y'all, I'll talk to you soon.
Love y'all,
***-Lily-***
