Yes. I was freaking out that Donathon was going to use it on her and was so proud of him for not. So sad about Michael! But I knew he didn't really stand a chance so I'm glad that Kellyn's extra vote went to waste and I'm loving the secret Laurel/ men alliance. Jenna is so boring, she sucks. I LOLed that nobody hugged her and that they didn't air her goodbye clip. And wtf with Chelsea and her superhuman forearm strength, 2 challenges in a row that I thought for sure would be a men's advantage. Go her! I admittedly don't always pay full attention to the show, but as I was watching I looked at her and said "where did she come from"? Like I did not remember ever seeing her before. (Jenna, not Chelsea, Chelsea and Laurel are actually the only 2 girls remaining who I actually can identify.

I finally watched last night. I wish it had been Kellyn but I was still ok with it because I didn't want it to be Wendell. I'm glad the Dom/Wendell/Laurel/Donathon thing is sticking strong for now and I'd like to see that continue so any one of them can win. Did anyone else think Dom's wife was a weirdo? Like, really? You're in AGONY? Have you people never done a girl/guy trip without the spouse? I get missing your spouse, and I get that it's been 3 weeks, but that just seemed so over the top that you can't function in life without him.

I'm also glad it wasn't Wendell. I would have gone for Chelsea as well, she's been killing it in challenges.
I always cry during the family episodes. At first I was like awww with Dom's wife, but it quickly turned to seriously? I mean I get being emotional, but I also feel like it was a bit much.

Did anyone else notice Probst get emotional when he was talking about Angela's service and how it impacted her family? I've never heard him get choked up like that and I was really surprised.

It was mostly voice over, although there was a shot of him and it looked to me like he was misty but it was pretty far away so it might have just been my imagination.

So stupid of donathan not to vote for Kellyn. He’s lucky it worked out for him (tonight), but that was really dumb.

He's been one of my favorites since the beginning, but starting with his "truth bombs" at the 5/9 episode tribal council, I've been really frustrated with how reckless he's been and feel like he has it coming if he gets voted out.

I'm now just straight up rooting for Dom or Wendell to win.
Laurel is the goatiest goat that we have seen in a long time. The girl will. not. play. I mean...you don't think it's "fair" to vote out Wendell because he could have won the challenge? Bish that's exactly when you NEED to vote him out! Angela is just there for fun at this point and Dom seems to be losing it. I will give him credit for at least making it mildly interesting.
But let's be honest, it's going to be a battle between Dom and Wendell for the win.
Oh, I forgot that Sebastian was even there...yawn. He had potential but he's really not playing either. Someone may make a run in the finale, but if you look at the season as a whole, it's Dom/Wendell all the way.

Seriously Donathon had it made with his alliance, I cannot figure out what was going through his head to suddenly start blowing shit up with that. Made no sense!
I don't know how to do a spoiler hide/ unhide so here's fair warning I'm about to talk about the finale!
Man, what a good finale. My DVR actually stopped recording too early though so I had to read what happened online, wish I could have seen their faces when it went down! I feel bad that Laurel didn't get a single vote. I mean she did ride their coattails but she also played. She made friends, she won challenges, she didn't just sit around like a bump on a log so that must have felt shitty to not get one single vote. I really like all 3 finalists though so I would have been stoked with any of them winning. I do respect her choice and I love Wendell so I'm glad it was him. Would have been equally happy with Dom. I feel like that whole group was likeable this season, there wasn't really an underdog situation or someone at the end that America seemed to hate.

I'm not going to spoiler this whole thing so don't read if you haven't watched the finale yet.
-I went back and forth during the episode with who I wanted to win between Dom and Wendell. I really wanted Wendell to find a way to get Dom out and win that way. -I was SO GLAD that Dom didn't follow through with putting himself in the firemaking contest. Good gravy that would have been an epic mistake. -From when Dom won immunity to get to the final 3 up to final tribal, I thought Dom deserved to win. But I do not think Dom handled himself well when talking to the jury. It was painful to listen to him. This is nerdy but I kept singing Hamilton at my TV because it was all I could think of- "Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room?" Based on final tribal, I was rooting for Wendell, although Laurel did her best to fight for herself. -I was very surprised Donathan didn't vote for Laurel. I am curious who he voted for because if he had voted for Laurel, whoever he voted for would have lost and there would have been no tie breaker. -It must have sucked for Laurel not to get a single vote but how cool that she got all the power and got to decide who won.

I think there was no way that Yanny would have chosen Dom over Wendell. I’m glad she got to decide because I think Wendell is the rightful winner.

That was a good finale. The past few seasons I haven't really cared for anyone in the running, so it was exciting to see 3 people I liked there. I didn't think Laurel did a great job talking herself up, so I wasn't super surprised to see no votes for her.

Wow. What a finale! I wonder if it was editing; but they didn't show all of the jury members talking at final council.
Can you imagine having to keep that secret? Laurel knew for 6 months who the winner was.
This season was pretty awesome. I loved the Ghost Island bits and the flesh backs to survivor history.

melohdy I never thought of that- that laurel knew for so long. Whoa. I’m glad wendall won. I tend to like players that play the game without being arrogant about it. Dom was just too much, and I couldn’t get to like him at all.

melohdy, wow it was really filmed that long ago? I thought most reality shows were 2-3 months post production? I never understand how that works though. I know they sign agreements not to discuss anything but do you not get your money until it airs? Because otherwise wouldn't people be like "hmmm Wendell is now home driving around in a Range Rover and taking his wife to Hawaii..." (made up scenario)

I had the same thought about Laurel knowing the however long it was. That would kill me keeping that secret!

Do they all vote on the island but it doesn't get revealed until the finale?or do they actually vote live at finale?

They vote on the island and then Jeff takes the container and opens it for the live show. This time was a little different because of the tie, but usually all the jury votes are read on the live show.
