Helloo sweet fellow Survivor lovers. I trust that you’re feeling trippy from the humdinging finale and are gonna have the best day. It’s cool how a show can literally change your mood for the day – so long as you haven’t just been through the trauma of seeing a Pig win a million bucks – which defs wasn’t the case with this season.
This is a very different Survivor catch-up from usual because in between last week and this I’ve been up to skulldugerous things like getting my clutches on the Finale early to watch at the weekend so I could interview Danni and Rafe before today.
Through complicated networks of organisation I managed to stay unspoiled right up until I saw it all and was taken by surprise with everything – not only by the fact that Danni aced it as breezily as she did but that it ended up being an all-chick finish.
By the end of last weeks episode I honestly thought Rafe had the season wrapped up and for some reason even thought I’d seen or overheard a spoiler about him winning.
I have no clue why I thought this but I was convinced I knew it was him so when Danni whacked him it was thrilling. I also thought she was gonna go : “No, no of course I’m keeping you," – which, as her family said, would have been ridiculous.
I was also kinda surprised at how unanimously the Jury refused to vote for Stephenie. I know she had very slapworthy moments and backstabbed lots but I thought they may have voted for her “tough” game sort of thing.
The best was of course having Lydia disappear at the final four, just after Jeffsipoo described her as having short little legs pumping as fast as they could - I
so reckon he was madly irritated by her too.
I must say I was really happy with the final three – except I would have lurved Brandon there too. You’ll see the interesting things Danni has to say about him in her interview.
My plan was to chat to all three of the finalists for us but Stephanie wasn’t around 'cos she’s off honeymooning after having tied the knot last week.
I hope you enjoy the interviews – I’ll see you for Survivor Panama soon. It’s fab knowing that there’s just one Survivor-fest after another.
