Survivor Finale

I must admit that I started watching Survivor this season because the attractive Boston Rob was returning and I had seen him in reruns of All-Stars. because of that, I had only seen one or two finales before. what really surprised me was how civil it was after the fact. I guess it proves that it's mostly the incentive of 1 million dollars that drives people to act the way they do on the show.

About who won. Well, Sandra won, and I don't think she deserved to. She didn't win a single challenge and even at camp, she avoided elimination most of the time with her isolationist-like policy and other times, when threatened, she used some wit. I surely thought Russell played a great game, but it was a great evil game and for me it was too evil and backstabbing. Parvati, I felt, was deserving of the prize (not to mention I began cheering for her when I learned she shares the same b-day as me =p). She allied herself with the unstable, powerful Russell who could have stabbed her in the back if he wanted to. But, she made their partnership an advantage to him and to that point, he could not eliminate her. Parvati was right in saying that she had noone else to ally herself with. Noone trusted her.
