Survivor 20 final results


Can you lie in the bed you made?

Just a few things I want to point out about the finale: 1. that was fricking hilarious when Sandra gave Russell a taste of his own medicine by throwing his hat in the fire; 2. Rupert pretty much sealed the deal for Sandra in his speech; and 3. Boston Rob said it all when commenting about Russel's game - "he plays to get to the end, not to win."  Russell pissed off the whole jury in way or another and so did not get any votes at all!

So Sandra won, which is who I was rooting for in this episode.  You could feel it coming together for her after Colby was voted out.  In the pool results you'll see the final results, after adding points after the 1st tribal council where Colby was voted out, then adding more points after Jerri was voted out, and then finally awarding 170 points to whoever had Sandra in their pool.  Here are the prize winners:

1st for $280:  Rachel.  This is only her second time in the pool!

2nd for $110:  Clint.  This is Clint's first time in the pool!  Clint, need your mailing address.

3rd for $85:  Rachelle D.  This is also her first time in the pool.  Need your mailing address!

4th for $55:  Tone.  He's been playing for 11 seasons and has now won a total of $407 since the start.  He knows his Survivor.

Last for $30:  Tara K #2.  This is also her second season playing in the pool.  Need your mailing address too, Tara.

Congrats to the prize winners and thanks to everyone for your participation in another great pool.  Have a great summer, and I'll get in touch with everyone again for Survivor Nicaragua in the fall!

Survivor 20 results - week 13



Saving her own skin...

Just when she needed to most, Parvati won immunity and guaranteed herself another day, after Russell had decided she was the one to go.  So Russell had to backstab Rupert and helped to vote him off.  So only five remain for the season finale on Sunday.

In the pool, Rachel got her wish with Rupert being voted out, so she has clinched the 1st place prize!  Clint has clinched the 2nd place prize!  The 3rd and 4th place prizes are still up for grabs and will be determined by how far contestants Colby and Jerri go - Rene Sr.'s entry still has a chance.  At the bottom, if contestant Colby doesn't get voted off next, Amanda H's entry will claim last place.  Remember, there will be 3 tribal councils in the final episode, and the points per survivor remaining will be 75, 80, and 180 points respectively.

Even if you aren't in the running for a prize, I hope you watch the finale and then check the pool to see how well your entry placed at the end.  Have a great weekend everyone,
Jay

Survivor 20 results - week 12b


Double Jeopardy

Sorry I have to make this quick, but I'm going to see the Iron Man 2 midnight show (and I'm going to pay for it at work tomorrow).  Two tribal councils happened this episode and so they are treated as if they were two separate weeks, because contestants "surviving" the first one deserve points for it.  I'm glad Candice was voted out in the first tribal council - I hope that she learns that flipping sides (she's done it twice now) does not guarantee you get any further in the game, especially if you're trusting a guy like Russell.

The second tribal council showed Russell flexing his muscle again and had Danielle voted out with the help of the grateful heroes remaining.  Danielle showed her loyalty to Parvati a little too much and that helped change the mind of Jerri to help vote her off.

In the pool results, you will see your resulting total points after adding points for tribal council (a) and then tribal council (b).  Looks like Clint is the first entry to have all contestants remaining and is guaranteed third, but whether he can claim 1st or 2nd prize depends on who gets voted off first.  Also, at the bottom, Amanda H is the first entry to have lost all her picks but whether she can take last place from Tara K#2 depends on far 
Colby goes.

Have a great weekend and here's a shout-out to all the mother's out there,
Jay
