Survivor Gabon: Bob Wins!

Bob Crowley, at 57 years old is the oldest Survivor winner! But, let me tell you how he got there. Bob, Matty, Sugar, Kenny, and Susie were the final five. At the immunity challenge, which was to put a puzzle together, Bob won his fifth consecutive challenge, tying a record. Matty told Kenny he would tell him if he was going to write his name down at tribal, but he lied. Kenny, still moaning about Bob not keeping his promise about the necklace, was blindsided.

The next immunity challenge was to build a house of wooden cards. For some reason, Bob really, really sucked at this challenge. Susie prevailed and screwed up the Sugar, Matty, and Bob finale plan. It seemed as if Bob was destined to leave until Sugar pointed out that if she voted for Matty and Bob voted for Matty, there would be a tie. She did and there was. The tie-breaker was to make fire and burn the cord. Bob got a fire, then it almost burned out, but he saved it and won. Poor Matty – I really felt sorry for him, even though I wanted Bob to win the show. I just really didn’t want Susie in the finale.

I don’t remember a jury laughing quite as much as this one did during the season, but they didn’t have anything funny to say to the final three. Charlie asked Bob if their “intimate cuddling and spooning” had meant more to Bob than he wanted to admit. What? Bob said no. Then, Crystal called Susie a coattail rider and said Bob was remote controlled by Sugar. Kenny, still not able to let the necklace thing go, brought it up again. Ugh. Corinne won the award for nastiest jury member – even over Randy. She told Susie she would give her a vote if she removed her vocal chords. She called Sugar an “unemployed, uneducated leech on society” then insinuated that Sugar was not sincere when crying about her father’s death. Whoa. Sugar’s only reply was to flip her off. Randy asked Sugar when she was laughing as he was voted off, if she didn’t realize he would be voting on the jury.

When they were voting, Randy said “All three of you can kiss my .” In the end, I was surprised – Susie got three votes, Bob got three and Sugar, who had masterminded a lot of moves, got zero votes. Jeff posed the question to the jury, if Matty had won the first challenge, how many would have voted for him. He would have gotten five votes, so that fire challenge cost him the million. Then, Jeff brought out that Randy was the deciding vote and he voted for Bob. When asked why he didn’t vote for Susie, he said it was the “million dollar cookie.” Apparently, Susie gave him grief over the cookies Randy won and didn’t want to share with everyone and that cost her his vote.

Corinne loved the crowd’s boos at the reunion about her comments to Sugar and even told Jeff that the show didn’t portray her negatively enough. Maybe it helped when Jeff called her “one of the nastiest people I’ve ever met.” And, the crowd applauded Randy, whose best friend for the past 15 years has been his dog. Okay, while it was funny, it was kinda sad. He brought six strangers to the show because they were fans. We found out Marcus had the highest IQ, with Randy coming in second.

After a review of how unathletic Crystal was, Jeff asked Crystal to show her Gold Medal just to prove it and she did. Kenny finally admitted that he got cocky and that cost him. But, at least he is talking to girls now. He asked Michelle if there was a chance of romance with Kenny, but she changed the conversation to a dream about a bug. Jeff asked Ace if his accent was real and he admitted that he was raised in London, so the accent was real.

The top Sprint players were Matty, Bob, and Sugar. The winner of the $100,000 was Bob. Oh man, I was so hoping Matty would win it, but he only came in third. Bob was speechless.
