    Of course you take someone unlikeable to the end. If I was in the final three, I'd want Osama bin Laden on my left and Hitler on my right.

    Oh, I understand the reasoning behind it. But I still don't see how she made it that long. And I still don't understand how she got two votes to Amanda's one.

    Because this might be the dumbest final three of all time on that show, and that's saying something.

    Jean Robert, James and Denise all made completely moronic decisions that anyone who is even a little familiar with the game would never make.

    I'm surprised that Todd won, but shocked (shocked, I say) that Amanda only got one vote & Courtney got two. It's funny how, to the public, it looks like a slam-dunk for Amanda, but the jury has their own reasoning. Amanda didn't do herself any favors by not selling herself more during final Tribal.
    On the reunion, Jeff said he thought this was one of the better Survivors, but I think it was one of the worst. In fact, if the next one wasnt bringing "favorites" back, I would probably skip it.

    And, BIG BROTHER coming back in February. Yeeeeeeeeeeees.

    The bonus season of Big Brother is the one and only good thing to come out of the writers' strike.

    Todd won because he had great answers at the final Tribal council. Amanda was on her heels the whole time and Courtney...well, she's 86 pounds of stupidity.

    Jean-Robert was totally played by Todd, who gave a great, logical, yet full-of-shit answer to JR's attempt at feeding his own ego. The fact that Todd came right out in the reunion show and said he duped J-R was priceless. Jean-Robert was pissed to be called out like that.

    I thought Probst's reunion questions were too uncomfortable, especially the mullet question, the anorexia question and the virgin question.

    However, I wish he would've asked Jamie if we could see her phenomenal tits.

    Hopefully, Mr. Hefner calls Amanda and Jaime ASAP.

    Just
    I just watched the reunion on TiVo. When Probst asked Courtney about her saying Denise sucks at life, Courtney had her middle finger and index finger on her chin, then bent down the index finger.
    And why give Denise $50,000? If Burnett really wants to help, give her a job.
    Also, why can't she find another $7 an hour job besides night janitor?

    Jaime does nothing for me. A garden variety fake blonde, future fat girl who can be found by the hundreds on any college campus.

    Denise is a liar

    NEW YORK (AP) -- A school lunch lady who gained fame as a contestant on CBS' reality show "Survivor: China" wasn't telling the truth when she claimed during Sunday's season finale that she'd been demoted to janitor, her boss says.
    Denise Martin of Douglas, Mass., finished fourth in the competition, missing out on the $1 million grand prize.
    "They didn't give me my job back," Martin, 40, said during the live broadcast. "I'm a janitor now. I clean the toilets. I wash the floors in the bathrooms. I vacuum the kids' rugs."
    Producer Mark Burnett surprised Martin with $50,000 to help get her life back. But Martin may have some damage control to do when she returns to work.
    In an interview Tuesday on CBS' "The Early Show," Douglas Schools Superintendent Nancy Lane said Martin had been promoted, at her own request, to custodian in late March, a job that came with more benefits and higher pay.
    "We granted her a leave to go to participate in `Survivor.' And did everything possible to support her," Lane said. "And when she returned, she of course returned to the position that she left. Which is the custodial position."
    "That's perfectly accurate, yes," Martin said in response.
    Martin said she decided while she was taping "Survivor" that she wanted to go back to her lunch lady job. Lane said the job was no longer available, but Martin could apply when there is an opening.
    "It was not my intention to be misleading," Martin said. "I'm sorry and I apologize to everybody."
    Will she accept the $50,000 if it is still offered to her?
    "I had no idea that I was going to be awarded that," she said. "I did not do this for myself, I've done this for my family, I've done this for my town."
    Margaret Reed, chairwoman of the School Committee, said she was puzzled by Martin's story.
    "Everyone was cheering her on," Reed said. "And then we get this slap in the face."

    Weird. Why lie about that?
