:10 Commercial!

:13 We’re back and it’s time to ask all the important questions. Bob, 57 years old, the oldest winner ever in the game. What was the key to doing so well? Bob says he tried to be necessary, and friendly and tried to play the game. He’s overwhelmed! Did he have a gameplan? He wanted to fly under the radar as long as he could and get people to like him.The fake idol? Saved his place in the game. Sorry Randy. Ha! How did he make it? Everyone was amazed as it looked real. Bob says he collected beads and stuff when they fell on the ground and when Corrinne said that they were sending him, there used to be beads and trinkets on the Kota flag - and he stretched and yawned and grabbed them on his way out. He just used some resin and his mom was good at art and he just put it together.

Jeff says that he took a lot of heat for throwing it in the fire - and he says that’s what they do, BUT, he did go in and pull out waht was left to give back to Bob, He pulls out the pieces - and asks where he got the rope, they don’t give them anything? He says he takes stuff. Everyone laughs - the instructions were tied with a string and that’s where they got it. Jeff gives him the reamins of the fake idol.

What have his students say? They’ve been supportive and enjoyed it. He’s tried to take some of the challenges and turn them into physics problems - the last question is to calculate if they throw a rock at 30 degrees, and this fast, how far will it go. He’s taking the show into the classroom. Jeff says Nice!

A question for the Jury - if Matty was in the final three instead of Bob, ho many would have voted for MAtty - 5. That’s a million dollar fire making challenge. Matty, bob practiced! Why didn’t you? Matty says he didn’t see it coming, he got confident and thought he had it in the bag. Jeff looks into the camera “IF you get on survivor, buy a flint and PRACTICE!” Mtty says he was never good at homework.

He has one questionf or Susie - how did she get so far, and get 3 votes and nearly win?! She says she’d like to say people liked her, she never wanted to make it nasty and was a hard worker, and was lucky with the two immunities. jeff says he was shocked at the votes - and she says she was too. Here’s what will blow the mind - Randy was the deciding vote (and no more mohawk!) Randy says that cookie was a million dollar cookie. Bob told him it was just a cookie, and Susie told was a little more upfront about it and Randy took her head off about it. A chocolate chip cookie cost her.

Sugar - Popular! What’s been the reaction on the street? She says people are thanking her about the randy cokie incident - and she laughs and says she has to leave the house with makeup on - everyone saw her license plate, and Jeff says she needs her own paparazzi guard as she points out people are blogging about seeing her drive her care. She says losing her dad was why she was so emotional all the time - and really she doesn’t cry all the time, she’s better now, she’s stronger. Jeff says she was popular with the viewers, but not those on the show - and this comment from Corrine is one of the nastiest he’s ever heard - and they replay her final jury comment. Undereducated, unemployed leech on society - everyone boos her.

Did Corrinne mean what she said? Does she regret it? Coming up next!

:22 Commercial!

:27 Corrine - on 17 sesons, jeff says that’s the top of the list of things he’s heard. Regret? Corrine says obviously she feels sorry for her loss, but it was like being stranded in Africa with a crabby baby. Jeff says to make a conscious decision to make a comment about the loss of someone’s father - she says that she went for the jugular. Is that her? She says if she didn’t like someone irl she wouldn’t spend time with them, but being forced to be with someone… it’s who she is.She says she loves th boo, keep it coming.

What’s the disconnect between the watchers loving her, and other’s not - Marcus says it’s hard to tell, because people see 1 out of 300 minutes on tv, and everyone has different ways to express themselve, sugar did a good job dealing with things, but sometimes it rubbed them the wrong way. Jeff points out Corrinne didn’t like she wasn’t portrayed in a MORE negative light - she says that she was the same person all the way through and was portrayed as a wallflower first. Where most people are mad to be portrayed as a bitch - she was the opposite. Do your friends and family know you ask this? No regrets really? She says no - a lot is sarcasm and a dry sense of humor. She wasn’t actually going to stab susie in the face, and Jeff says stand up won’t be the best thing for her, she says yes.

Mean Ole’ Randy was one of the most colorful people to play the game. Montage of Randy comments… Randy gets APPLAUSE. Is that him? He says 100. Jeff says you are this bitter guy? And Randy shrugs. What makes him this way? he says he wasn’t always this way, had girlfriends, people laugh, he’s serious, he hasn’t told a joke the entire season. Everyone wants to get underneath.. andRandy says they’re not going to, you’re born with the ability or not. The ability to what? Randy: To like me.

His best freind was his dog for 15 years - and Jeff says it was your closest friend? Randy says yeah, he didn’t cheat lie or cry every day. The highest IQ of the whole bunch was marcus - off the charts. Second highest? Randy. There’s a lot too him - Randy says the test must be flawed. Randy used to be a commercial Pilot, ran iron mans, marathons, engineering degree (Randy says “I cheated.”) Who did he bring to the live show? 6 strangers he’d never met. Fans of the show, he knew it would mean something to them to come, so there they are, someone, he doesn’t know. Randy applied 15 times - worth the wait? He says no, should have waited till season 22, I’d have been meaner. Jeff says it was oddly a pleasure having him, he’s one of the most despicable and likeable people they’ve ever had.

Charlie - you’re one of the nicest guys we’ve ever had, you’re friends with tehse guys, including Corrine! What is it?! Charlie says that he sees what people like in Randy, he sees in Corrinne too. They’re smart, and they have so much fun together. Up next - is Crystal REALLY an olympic gold medalist? and is Ace’s accent real? And who will be Fan Favorite?

:38 Commercial!

:41 Montage of Crystal’s horrible challenge record… Jeff says next to is Ace’s accent real, the most asked quesiton is if Crystal si really a gold medalist - she says yes, and shows her medal as proof. Jeff says ok, next question - what happened? you couldn’t do anything! Crystal says she’s built to run around a circle, she’s a runner a horse, a gazzelle, those challenges were hard, difficult, HARD! Her freinds and fellow medalists called her all the time “Crystal you suck” Other’s say that they loved that she told everyone off.

Dan took a lot of grief - Jeff asks how he deals with that. Dan says that your vulnerable and taken away form your inner circle, but if you remember who you are and are confident in that, then day to day decisions will be good.

Kenny - the gamer. Educate us about it - what does that mean World Class gamer? Kenny says he travels around the world and plays in tournements, he has sponsers and made more then 50k doing it. He made it a career for a while, and supported him through college. Jeff teases him about going on and on… then asks the connection btween games and survivor - he put his Mind Games into play, manipulating players into voting his way. His downfall? He got Cocky. he says he thought he was in charge, and not everyone was a piece he could move, they had their own age, when he got Cocky it was his downfall. Once that happens? He should have known… it’s always the downfall. Lovelife update? He has talked to some girls, lately, ya know? They’re finally finding him attractive which is kinda weird, but wants someone who likes him for him, not for being a Survivor. How about Michelle?

Any chance Michelle? They ate a termite together! She says she has nightmares now! And Jeff tells Kenny to stay single. Hahah!

Ace - is the accent REAL? Where are you from? Ace jokes abot being from Mississippi - but admits that he lived in London for 8 years, and his parents are both British. it’s real. He says he should have faked American accent, though he has the worst one ever. Ha!

Who’s gonna be the fan favorite? Stay tuned!

:49 Commercial!

:55 Since Thursday, folks have been voting for FanFavorite - one is about to win 100k. Matty, Bob and Sugar are the top three. If it were held in that audience, Sugar would win - but… Matty is number three, Sugar - the Survivors might not have liked you, the audience definitely liked you, however, they liked Bob a little bit more. BOB wins the 100k TOO!

Jeff says it’s got to be a compliment that not only do you win, but they now want to give you MORE money - Bob is overcome, cn’t answer, and Jeff does it for him.

Matty - are you still engaged? He says yup! they have a date, color scheme, everything is covered. He may not have finished the game he wanted to do, but he succeeded in that, and thats the most important to him. He did get her a ring, the LA version instead of the survivor version that he’d made.

Paloma - she said she can do anything now, and Paloma says she believes that, Survivor helped her become a stronger person, and thinks she can conquer anything and thinks all of them feel the same. Kelly was one of the youngest, what did she take home? She says everything - it was hard to get along with them, but it was a growing experience, and appreciates everything so much more. GC - the only person to go missing in action before a challenge, waht happened? GC says he didn’t know, he was looking for a Popeyes or something out there, player was HUNGRY! He went to look for food, that’s all. Jackie says it was indeed the best experience of her life - completely detoxed from Tech. Gillian was it worth it? She says absolutely, it was so worth it.

Where’s Survivor headed too next?

In the new year, Survivor is going to one of the most Rugged places yet - The Brazil Islands - Tocantins.

And that’s it! We’ll have a giant roundup of interviews and the like over the next couple days - but thanks for spending Survivor Gabon here with us at WatchingSurvivor.com!
