I don't see Paloma in finals just because it's incredibly obvious she doesn't win.... the only way I think she makes finals is if it's F3.

It is definitely a Final Two. I like that way much better and I like to stay true to the original format of the show. I only had a Final Three in All-Stars since I considered it a "special" season and I don't like how the show flips back and forth. Having said that, I've warmed up to the idea of a F3 a little bit and I have actually considered it for recent seasons. I thought about it for Micronesia but wanted to have 1 Fan vs. 1 Favorite in the end. I even considered it for Gabon too, but I just don't think it would have worked too well.

Honestly, my only complaint is that Ace didn't make it further.

I agree. I could have had that blindside occur at Final Eight or Final Seven, which would have given us one or two more episodes of him as a villain as opposed to one of the more boring characters. I could have cut Paloma or Charlie (not Dan) at F9, but then I would have missed out on the Charlie/Dan dynamics at Final 5 which was one of my favorite things this season.

I'm sorry if this disappoints anyone. I know this has been a problem (for me) all season. The FINAL (and I do mean FINAL) day for the finale is Saturday morning. I have over 50 pages done and it will be probably 60-62 pages, so I'm almost there, but I can tell I'll need a bit more time so instead of Friday night it will be Saturday morning. I doubt many of you would be around on a Friday night anyway - better to make it Saturday when I know a lot of you usually comment.

I can't wait for everyone to finally see how it ends after about 2 months longer than it should have been! :D

Fantasy Game Central Winner Results

Randy - 14.7%
Dan - 26.5%
Paloma - 29.4%
G.C. - 29.4%

(I have to say these results were a little puzzling. At first, Paloma had twice as many votes as anyone else. Maybe the underdog will pull out the win though).

Finally, less than 4 hours! :)

The finale itself is done. I just have to finish color-coding it and do the notes so I can put everything up together...

Will be up in 5-10 minutes...
