Nike Air Survivor Finale – Recap Yul’s B

Yul “Harvard-Stanford-Smart Guy” Kwon was deemed the ‘puppet-master’ and the ‘godfather’ throughout the game by his tribe mates [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], especially after he got Jonathan to flip-flop AGAIN and change things up. The Aitu four made it to the final four when Adam failed to win the second-to-last immunity challenge. He gave it a good try [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but Ozzy was just a smidge faster and a hair smarter than he was. Adam tried to get the Aitu four to take the immunity idol out of play. I thought that was a good strategy, and well I had to give Adam his props. He tried to play the game to the very last. Adam’s thought was well, if I got to go home, y’all, at least make the final four fair.
Truthfully, Sundra and Becky were pretty interchangeable at this point. Many felt – and I am one of this plurality – that the girls rode on the coattails of the boys. True, the Aitu four was a cohesive unit, but even Becky admitted that they let Ozzy win challenges for them. Yul may have tried to downplay his strategic prowess by saying that Becky was right there with him on every decision, but… no one was really buying it.
I must say that this season was pretty lackluster in many respects. I thought that the racial divide would’ve been more explosive. Of course, this brings up an even bigger point – perhaps we make more out of race than is necessary? As the “Survivors” themselves said last night, perhaps, at our very core, as human beings, we are more alike than we ever imagined possible. Wow! That was deep of me. Thanks, Yul for helping me come to this conclusion.
The jury certainly didn’t buy it. And, well, they were there too.
In the end, Becky won because Sundra ran out of matches. However, Becky proved to be a non-factor. She didn’t get one vote from the jury. It was obvious that the jury didn’t respect her game play. The jury had mucho respeto for Ozzy and Yul. It was kind of a love-fest from the jury. I was expecting more bad blood, but there wasn’t any. Brad asked Ozzy about the biggest challenge he ever faced in his life. Ozzy talked about having a dad who never wanted to be there for him, and how it hurt him. It was very emotional. I wanted to hug Ozzy then.
The Aitu four felt that the results were still fair and well, things ended up as fair as possible. The immunity idol never really came into play. Yul did offer it to Becky, “If she wanted it.” He and Ozzy were pretty much assured their spots in the finale at this point ‘cuz Ozzy won the final immunity challenge against Sundra, who put up a brave and valiant fight. Ozzy and Yul decided together that they couldn’t really choose who deserved to be in the final three with them – yes, folks, there was a final three this time for the first time ever. Ozzy thought it would be fair to do two votes for Becky and two for Sundra, making things go to a tie-breaker.
Anyway, Ozzy and Yul’s plan for a tie-break went off but not without a hitch. Sundra and Becky couldn’t make fire. It took them over an hour. The clips, I must admit, were hysterical. Adam yawned. Ozzy put his face in his hands in obvious embarrassment. Jeff even said, ‘after 35 days, you should know how to make fire.’ An hour or so into it, he called for matches. Oh man [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]! That was the funniest stuff I’d seen on TV in a long time.
