Did you really want to see Ozzy or Cassandra win? Fuck yes. Why does everybody automatically assume all late 20s early 30s boring alpha male types are good winners? I would have shit myself with glee if Cassandra won. Dono if I'd go THIS far...but I always felt, whether the F2 was pathetic or not they deserved to be there simply for making it that far...it's not easy to get to top 2 in a game like Survivor, so one way or another every winner's been deserving. Usually we know beforehand who's gonna take the win simply based on their performances and alliances in the game and there's very rarely been a F2 where either could have taken the win. But there's no difference with a F3. Lil/Sandra...Rich/Kelly...Colby/Tina...were a few exceptions, where you really couldn't be sure until the final votes were read, but in most cases, whether it's final 2, 3, 4 or 12...a clearcut winner is apparent.

The final 3 isn't as bad as the affirmative action casting, since negros < longer final episode, but not by much. I'm sure CBS reads these boards every day, however, so they probably know what's up and are in the process of changing it. CSCin3D and I should go on Survivor. We'd be sooooo awesome. We could form the Wir müssen die Juden ausrotten Alliance. Love!

And this is a problem because...? Outplay is part of the game and I'd rather see two strong players battling it out on the playing field rather than in front of the jury. The F3 challenge should strictly be a matter of will and determination so that the winner deserves the opportunity to choose. Quiddity wrote: "If you want to be truly fair, make it so there's no immunity challenge at all at F3. All three votes. Whoever gets two votes goes and the other two face the jury. That's the fairest way to go about things." Why rob us of the drama for supposed fairness? Take Borneo: Rudy has 0 chance instead of having the opportunity to win a challenge. I don't see any changes in most seasons either. Only Rob C, Ian and Rafe would've benefited from your solution. They all chose their F3 opponents so they really only have themselves to blame. Rob had a chance to get rid of Jenna at F6, Ian kept Tom also at F6 and Rafe, well we all know what happened to Rafe. What I hate of the F3 is that it favors pagonging. Two members of the majority can't team up with a minority tribe member to improve their positions if they can't get rid of that player at the end. Last Edited By: panurge46 11/26/07 4:41 PM.

We saw it with Shane wanting to take Courtney, thus Cirie voting Courtney off to prevent the final 2 goat. It was finally starting to make the impact that it should, and so they canned it. LAME.

I know for many the end can make or break a season but reality shows rarely rarely rarely have good endings so whatever - it's still kind of fresh and interesting so I'm for it

Technically, I suppose it's more likely to make for a more exciting final vote than a Final 2 would be, so that's the little shred of respectability the twist has that I can cling to. Beyond that, it's pretty much bullshit. The jury starts too early, tradition is ruined, and one of the biggest elements of strong strategic gameplay has been nullified. Plus, we'll get no more epic final IC's. It's quite sad, really.

The Twist worked 2 times because the Fiji cast did not know about the final 3 in Cook Islands. They were filming, or actually finished filming before they ever knew about a final 3. Earl was going to the final 3 with cassandra and Yau-man.

Other than bitter jurors telling you that so on or so on was a complete c.unt/dick, it seems like you don't have a whole lot of information to base your vote on.

That's actually a really good point. Cirie basically invented the "boot the goat" strategy, and just as it seemed a new great way of playing survivor is about to emerge...CBS screws up and makes it much more difficult. Unfortuantely the Final three is probably here to stay for good. They should really read these boards so they can realize that the screw up of having such a close vote in CI was because they screwed up with the timing of the HII, so then they would realize that people will just bring two goats with them like Earl did in Fiji.

I'm not even going to dig up the Omarosa pic, someone else probably will have by the time I finish typing this.

I'm tired of post merge boots always being the biggest physical thrat. Cirie was one a very few people who understood threats come in different forms than just challenge hogs.

Trust me, it'll happen! :P Disclaimer: This post contains no spoilers and no speculation, just throwing a what if out there.
