And right before that she was spinning like crazy, laughing, and almost took out a camera.

It's now 2 for Jonathan and 2 for Romeo. Revote happens and those 2 can't vote. Lindsey and Omer vote Jonathan, Maryanne and Mike vote Romeo. Jonathan would have to be voted out because Maryanne and Mike would become the only eligible people to go to rocks. So she definitely avoided disaster. Romeo seems like he's making the f3 at this point and will be the typical 3rd place finisher who gets 0 votes and nobody discusses in the finals. Everyone else has a legit shot to win the game.

Maybe they had reason to believe it wouldn't go back into circulation because it wasn't a normal idol?

If another split vote would have come down to Marryanne vs Mike drawing rocks then I think Mike would have just voted out Jonathan. I am glad she was able to complete a big move since I love any and all blindsides.

Going into the finale, I'd rank things from most likely to least likely to win as:
Maryanne
Jonathan
Lindsey
Mike
Romeo

That's the thing about big moves in Survivor, if it works out then you're smart and it's a big move. If it fails, then people say it was a stupid move. Theres such a fine line between great and horrible moves.

What an ending.

Wasn't expecting that for the f3, but glad with how it ended.

The season as a whole was good, and for me, the winner has an impact on how I view the season, so this only helped my thoughts on this season, unlike last year where I felt like the winner hurt how I viewed it.

I thought Mike would win after he won the fire challenge, and Muscle Man was vanquished



Then Maryanne owned the tribal, I've said it before and I'll say it again, she's awesome

I agree Maryanne was great! She did the thing I always wanted somebody to do is to not telling anyone you have an immunity idol or advantage. That's what did Drea in!

When Mike played his idol for Maryanne I really wish there would have been a scenario where Maryanne then played hers to save someone. I know at that point though she had no reason to save anyone except maybe Romeo since she could beat him.

That felt cruel to Lindsey when he did that. They knew she was going out, for him to step out and play it when he knew Maryane was safe.. ouch
