We've seen a lot of crazy, deranged, unhinged, emotional, and flat-out bizarre moments at the final Survivor jury, but never one like this. Scratch that: never two like these. The first, which I've clipped above, is Natalie's mildly seductive, completely random question about Parvati's sex life. If I didn't know better, I'd think I was watching the beginning of some softcore porn on Cinemax. You could practically hear the cheap, public domain music come filtering in. Aside from the fact that the question seemed totally transplanted from some other show in some other genre, it also didn't make sense. Why would Parvati's bedroom manner be relevant to anything?
Unfortunately for Ozzy, Natalie completely stole his thunder because had it not been for her, the Internets would have been buzzing about his sudden declaration of love for Amanda. I couldn't decide if I hated his sanctimoniousness or loved his Hollywood-style speech, which seemed torn straight out of the latest summer romance. Ultimately, I decided it was a nice moment; although, I really disliked his whole bit about chastising Parvati for putting a price tag on their friendship. I mean, had he gone to the finals, would he have taken her over Amanda? Don't think so. Nevertheless, this was another great finale — even if my favorite, Cirie, fell victim to a wayward marble. I literally had no idea who would win, right up to the very last moment. Good times. What did you think?

That moment with Natalie was so bizarre. Is she a lesbian? Is that what we're supposed to gather from this? Even Jeff didn't know what to do.
It reminded me of one of my other favorite Jury moments in the Amazon, when Heidi asked, "Is there anyone from the Jury you'd rather have sitting up there?" and both Jenna and Matt said, "Yes, Rob Cesternino." To which Heidi replied, "Okay, but is there anyone else?..." clearly begging for them to say, "OH GOD YES, YOU, HEIDI." Luckily, Jeff told her, "Alright, that's enough."
Also, Cirie's Ponderosa video is heartbreaking. She's so depressed.
Natalie was really weird... I think she is a lesbian with a big crush on Parvati. She is super feminist too, the whole time talking about how stupid men are and how much girls kick ass. I really don't know how Parv's bedroom manner had to do with how she played the game though.
I was disappointed that Amanda didn't win and I'm surprised that everyone voted for Parv. I like her but I didn't think the majority of the jury did. Ozzy's speech was a little crazed about how Parvati stabbed him in the back, its a game and she did what she needed to do to win, which clearly worked for her. I would have bet the million that he was going to propose to Amanda at the end of that speech... It was cute but it couldn't wait until after tribal?
At any rate this was an awesome season, I'm glad I'm back into the show. Can't wait for Survivor: Gibon!
I was so sad when Cirie's marble dropped- I think she would have beat either Amanda or Parvati, and she was the best player in the game. What a great season, it is going to be hard to top but somehow I'm sure they will!
And yes, Natalie's question was extremely strange- I had to back up the DVR to hear it again, because I thought I must have missed something the first time.
I had to rewind it several times to see if I could interpret Natalie's wildly sex-charged question. No such luck. What the hell was that? And that whole Ozzy-Amanda moment was weird too. Why do people think it is romantic to profess your love on national tv? To me, that just means that maybe you are doing it for screen time and not because you really mean it.
I think Parvati's reaction after she found out she won was priceless. She immediately stands up and hugs Amanda, but then seemed a little lost at what to do next. All the other Survivor cast mates were like, "Go hug your family! Your family is waiting!" and she's like, "Who? Oh, my FAMILY! Right!". I think she's the first winner who didn't bolt into the audience to immediately celebrate with their loved ones.
Nat's q was WTF weird. How about Mary saying at the reunion that Ryan proposed to her after 3 days?! I don't get it. Are they married now or just engaged?
Amanda sealed her own fate when she boned it at the final TC again, but I wish that Cirie would have least got the fan fave money. I love that next season's logo has a gorilla on it! T-shirt time!
i love when Probst won't STFU during the challenges. Sweat is pouring down Cirie's face and Jeff is all "Losing your concentration now could be a million dollar mistake." PRESSURE!
Eliza aka Rubber face cracked me up with her lingering over her vote -- way to hog the screen time!
Parv won the Biggest Blindsider award and Amanda won the Ozzy. Poor Cirie got the Shelia third place prize.
