Also, was I pronouncing Chris's last name right? Probst pronounced it the same way.

I could definitely see arguments for Jenna and Ethan. I probably would have said Aras but I am a bit fuzzy on Panama. I would not have said Chris, not at all.

I think you were both pronouncing it wrong. The way Chris said it in the show was like Door-tee.
I have to agree with Jeff, though, that no way in hell was Chris the least deserving winner. Neither was Jenna, I'd say, but Chris really deserved to win. I'd probably say Amber was the least deserving. |

There's no such thing as an undeserving winner.

It's official: this interviewer guy is retarded. First off he's a Romber fan, second of all Chris is nowhere near the least deserving winner.

I guess if you think that overcoming a 6-1 minority and back stabbing everyone in the final five and bullshitting your way to a jury victory is not deserving
then yes, Chris wasnt deserving

Probst actually stood up for Chris and asked Gordon Holmes "Are you high!?" that Chris was absolutly deserving.
Jeff picked Jenna |

I wrote about it in my Chris interview a while back, but Probst absolutely has come around to acknowledging how impressive Chris's win was. When I spoke
to Chris on the phone, he said that Probst actually pulled him aside a few months after Vanuatu and apologized for not being as amazed by it as he should have
been. He said he was too close to the action (aka Julie) to really appreciate Chris's character at the time, and he apologized afterwards for the way he
sort of trashed him after the game in interviews. That is straight from Chris's mouth.
There is no way Chris is the least deserving Survivor winner. |

At least Jenna won the Final 4 IC when her butt was on the line. Considering who is left for the current season, I might be selecting a new least deserving winner to replace Ethan. |

Danni blames her win on God and cruises to victory via Rafe's constant over thinking. She gave a horrid jury performance and never showed any signs of
being a true strategic or social genius. Just had the cards fall perfectly in her favor at every given moment.
Still, I think everyone who has won deserved to win over their competition in the finals. I usually agree with Gordon and think he's closer to our perspective than the average fan while Jeff just likes to tout the beefy males that win all the challenges...but Jeff's probably more right this time. Jenna did want to quit a few times and was given a challenge that she used inadvertent groping of her breasts to her favor, followed by a balancing act endurance challenge that anybody with smaller feet would have a great likelihood of winning. Not the worst winner and she played a pretty good strategic game, but like Danni, she had a lot of things fall into her favor. Aras is also pretty awful compared to the others the more I think about it. He didn't have total control over his tribe when you look back at an example such as the tribal council where he tried to save Bob to no avail. Worst of all, he wanted to take Cirie to the finals. :/ Also, kudos to Jeff for saying that Gina was the person that went too early and was most sorely missed of any contestant. I fully agree with his sentiment and think she'd have been a lock for All Stars had she made it one more round. |

Working Link Of That Video
Jeff was brutal to Jenna by saying that Ethan didn't deserve to win either. 
Seriously though, Ethan not deserving? He had the best all around game of anybody in Survivor: Africa. Jeff probably thinks that Ethan was a bit spineless and didn't really play the game much because he wanted to look like the nice guy, letting Lex dictate all of the strategy...but the challenge throwing incident alone showed he had game. Also, little switch-ups like how he tried to change his handwriting each time he went to tribal in All Stars, etc. I guess Jeff wanted Lex to win since he was the major character that year, but Lex only continually gave the opposition chances to ruin their entire game. He hindered his alliance at each turn rather than actually helping it. Still, I think we were all a bit perplexed about what went down in that finale episode, but the truth is that Mama Kim was absolutely loathed by the rest of the cast, hence why she made the decision she did. Fuck me though that Danni's name doesn't come up....neither does purple rock Vecepia or lean-on-the-idol Yul. Worst of all was Jeff thinking Erik would've won Micronesia and have been "our best winner ever"...wtf? |

Worst winner EVER goes to Amber Brkich. She played a strategy that would never have worked in ANY of the other 15 seasons and she only won by a single vote
against a guy that she wound up marrying, so it wasn't even like she was using Rob to further her game.

Also worked very hard to win, mentioning the word "quit" in the game isn't a curse word imo. Danni: Made every logical move, and her decision to remove Blake was a fantastic move which amped her power. Her deal at final 6 seemed to work dividends. Aras: Was the epicenter of the Casaya tribe. Without Aras, everything falls apart. He was kept to beat Terry in the merge, and if he did, it is likely he wins the remainder. Also a very good social player. It has been confirmed that he would beat Cirie in the final 2. All the winners are deserving, but I would rank Amber and Ethan lastly. |

Casaya wouldn't have fallen apart, apparently he didn't have enough control of his tribe if they screwed him over at Bobby's boot

In any case, Aras won, would of beat Cirie and if that isn't enough for you, I don't know what to tell you. |
