Sole Survivor

Survivor Gabon

On the season finale of Survivor Gabon that aired back in December 2008 (I got lazy with my posting again), the castaways had to search for puzzle pieces in Gabonese huts, and then solve the puzzle to win immunity. Bob won the challenge, and at a very predictable tribal council Ken was voted off 4:1. At the final immunity challenge, the castaways had to build a house of cards 10 feet tall with a time limit of 30 minutes. Even though this was one of my favorite Survivor challenges from any season, I think 30 minutes was far too short of a time limit for a final immunity challenge considering in some previous seasons they went on for hours. Shockingly, Susie won immunity which gave little hope for my favorite castaway Bob. At tribal council, an emotional Sugar couldn't decide between Matty and Bob on who was more deserving, but knowing Bob most likely would receive votes from Matty and Susie she voted for Matty. This forced a 2-2 tie between Bob and Matty leading to a fire making tiebreaker. Bob's fire burned through the rope before Matty's even got started which in turn sent Matty to the jury. At the final tribal council between Bob, Sugar, and Susie, Corinne beat Borneo's Rats and Snakes speech by Susan Hawk by giving the new nastiest jury speech in the history of Survivor. She insulted Sugar by telling her that she would only give her antidepressants. Jeff Probst then read the votes live where Bob Crowley became Sole Survivor and won the $1,000,000 prize 4:3 with the other 3 votes going to Susie. By the way, my opinions on Survivor Tocantins: The Brazilian Highlands, and The Amazing Race 14 are coming soon.
