| Episode 14: One Woman, Three Men. She did it! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Anyone who watched the final episode, talk shows or early morning news heard the word:
Jenna is the Sole Survivor!
Were you surprised?
The teaser for the final two hour episode, with two Immunity Challenges in which Jenna
had to fight the male alliance, two Tribal Councils with two contestants to be voted
off, and the Final Two facing the jury, with the Sole Survivor winning one million
dollars, the question was who would it be?
Matt was a strong contender, with Rob strategizing to the end, while Butch did
his thing and Jenna fought to keep her focus, stating that she'd accomplished all her
goals and was ready to leave.
The account of the last few days, interviews with the contestants and the final,
agonizing wait while the jury probed and asked uncomfortable questions is all
on the Survivor site.
One of the things I wondered about was after the fire, when all possessions were
supposedly lost, where did Jenna get the rain gear, jeans and shirt she had on
during the rainstorm?
Jenna hold two new records in the Survivor series: the youngest contestant to win, and
the one with the most jury votes. The jury voted 6-1 in her favor. And so, in the
Battle of the Sexes, a woman won.
When the votes were tallied and announced later in New York, with the contestants
gaining back the weight they'd lost, fresh from sessions at hair and makeup salons,
it was hard to equate the polished, assured people on stage with the tough,
under-nourished and competitive tribe in the Amazon.
I liked them better in the Amazon. And I wanted Matt to win.
Keep track of the wins and losses:
New team: Jacaré:
Old Teams:
Boa sorte to all the contestants!
