Survivor Heroes Vs. Healers Vs. Hustlers

[Magicman]

I believe that if Ben makes it to the final he will win, at least he should.

[Cedarman]

Here are my thoughts on why Ben showed his idol early.  If he waited until the vote was made then he would have looked like the kingmaker and all of them would have disliked him even more.  By playing the idol first he put the monkey of choosing who goes home on the other five.  He already picked Lauren to be on the jury and she may resent that enough to vote for someone rather than Ben if he makes it to the final three.
Ryan looks like a shoe in for the final three because he hasn't played much of a game.
I think this is one of the better seasons.  I appreciate when they leave in a classy manner.

Even though he has made some mistakes, i.e. getting rid of Lauren too early and hanging himself out to dry, he has been a good player.  I would vote for him to win if he gets into the final three, which I believe he won't.

   I agree with Cedarman on Ben's rationale. This way he spreads the animosity around. Honestly if had been me I'd have done same as last week and then knocked off the guy on his left (I forgot his name) who also seemed like a jerk.

   What's the chance Ben can find another hidden immunity idol before the next vote?

[DPatton]

I hated to see Ashley go home last night because she has been a great competitor this season. I also agree with Ben's idea of playing the idol early and forcing the others to choose instead. I think it was a epic move and I personally hope he finds a way into the final three. He's really got his work cut out for himself though.
I also agree with Jeff's post in that Chrissy's true colors are starting to show through.

What I don't understand is Mike and his failure to make a big move last night. What part of number 4 or 5 does he not understand?

Right now I would choose Ben first then probably Devon second choice as someone I would want to win.

Down to the final THREE now!

Still pulling for Ben!

He's been the under-dog for so long and for what it's worth, I'd like to see him win it!

X2. (Where are my fingernails? They were here at the start of the show)

[Chuck White]

Well, he was the UNDER-DOG seems like forever, now he's on top!   8)

Great show this time, lots of feelings went into it!

[WV Sawmiller]

WOW!!! 8)

[Jeff]

Best season in recent memory!

[Magicman]

Ben earned it, absolutely battled to the end and earned it.  This was the best game ever for us.

[Roxie]

Really well played game by all participants.  They had a lot of class. 

Ben was my favorite for the win, he was so much fun to watch with his "Ben Bomb." 

I was also very fond of Lauren. 

I just couldn't stay up until the end of the program.  Did they have a fan favorite vote?  If so, who won this year?

[WDH]

No fan favorite vote.

Congrats to Ben.  I do think he earned it and he was my pick of the final three.  I was on the Lauren bandwagon until she flamed out.  It was a pretty good group of people all in all.  I was impressed with the grace with which they left the game.
