Survivor Finale. I was very happy, to say the least.DUDE! HOORAY FOR YUL! That’s more Korean people that I’ve seen on TV in my ENTIRE LIFE! When they showed his cheering section back home, I was like, “KIMCHI FOR ALL!”
And then I’ll admit to looking over at the Snook with a sigh. “There’s a six-foot tall single Korean millionaire Ivy League lawyer with washboard abs…. and I’m already married.” The Snook replied, “Yep, your Grandma Harter’s kickin’ herself right now.”
I was so worried he wasn’t going to win it. I actually predicted it’d go to Ozzy 7-2 or 6-3. “Americans, much like Australians, don’t like smart people.” I was happy to be wrong! I was also relieved that the jury portion was relatively snot-free (with the exception of dickhead Adam). Most of them seemed pretty gracious about it, and a few of them – Jonathan, mostly – even came up with really good questions. I also LOOOOOVED Jonathan’s reply to Probst’s stupid “villain” question at the reunion show: “There’s no villain in Monopoly!” Damn straight. I’ll take intelligence and piercing blue eyes (and Alan Alda’s voice) over pecs and a tan any day.
Other random observations: Having three people in the final was actually a great twist. It really screwed up the accepted strategy of the past 12 seasons, of picking an obvious loser to go through with you. Ozzy, much like Boston Rob, looked way better on the island. I thought it was a bit disingenuous for him to play the “poor Mexican with no Dad” card at the final tribal, though, given that at the reunion show he admitted that he did have a father and a swimming pool when growing up. Candace looked awful, really bloaty and soccer-Mom. Sundra’s hair was out of control, but she looked super gorgeous. Rebecca’s new hair aged her about ten years though. (I was like, “Why the hell is Patti LaBelle there?”) When Sekou started singing, the Snook and I were like, “This isn’t a real song! You just changed the words to Lionel Richie’s ‘All Night Long’!” Billy only has one T-shirt, but at least he can laugh at himself. Man, Jeff Probst sucks. He had such an obvious man-crush on Ozzy, and he soooo wanted him to win.
