Okay, so by now you know that I’m addicted to “LOST”…
but my other “Island Addiction” is the reality show “SURVIVOR.” I have been a HUGE fan
since the very beginning – when they kicked them off the boat and made them swim to shore.
And last night was the finale of the twentieth season – celebrated with an all-star reunion
of Heroes vs. Villains. It was another great season, with great characters, great twists
and great people doing stupid things!!!

Congratulations to the Top Three, left to right below.. Sandra, Parvati and Russell.
Although I won nothing in my own “Survivor Pool”… it’s still a lot more fun watching
Reality TV when they’re money riding on it!

In third place, the self-proclaimed biggest “Survivor” Villain of all time… Russell.
He is the most conniving & manipulative player ever; who always thinks he’s in charge –
all the way up to the final Tribal Council. But how ironic, that the guy who thinks
he’s the best player ever – got ZERO votes in the end!

And then there’s Parvati… my favorite! She’s the one who has been “on the Island”
the most, with well over 100 episodes and three seasons of “Survivor.” She was my
“gut choice” to win, but of course I overthought the game. Thinking that they would never
let a strong, competitive, previous winner get to the finish line again. But here she is –
still strong and coming in second!

And the winner… Sandra, who flew under the radar a bit, frequently scheming but never
too aggressive. She’s never won a challenge, but now has won the game of “Survivor” twice!
I’m not too excited about her win… I do like her wit & sarcasm… but I’m just more excited
that Russell didn’t win! He’s an idiot…

Next season, the “Survivor” castaways will be going off to Nicaragua!
