Trying to recap two season finales airing on the same night is insanity, Gasmi! So, my apologies for the delay, but since we have THREE FREAKING HOURS of TV to discuss, I figured it was better to get the other recap out of the way first. Hopefully you’ll feel that this one was worth the wait! So let’s get right to it…..
Of course we have to start with a recap of the season. Since we’ve already been through all that already, I’m skipping ahead to Camp Titty-Caca. The ladies are thrilled that it’s an all-girl final five. Kim plans to play as hard as she can and tells us that’s how she plans on finishing the game. Abitchia’s also happy to have made it to the end, especially with it being all women, but she’s a little annoyed that she ended up having to give up some of her power by voting out Dr. PoopyPants.
At least the camp smells better now that he’s gone!
Why oh why is Abitchia’s ass now blurred out?????
She’s very confident that her and Kim will stick together, bringing Christina with them to the end. So, if all goes as Abitchia’s got planned, Chelsea and Sabrina will be the next two to go. Preferably in that order.
The next day Sabrina and Kim go to pick up tree mail and have a little chat. Happy they’re still in the game, blah, blah, been there, said that. Sabrina thinks it’s a smarter move to get rid of Abitchia before Christina and Kim uses this as an opportunity to say that she thinks the only one that could really beat them is Chelsea.
WHA???????
Sabrina is surprised and not too happy to hear Kim floating Chelsea’s name, but Kim wonders if it would make more sense for them to take Christina to the end; after all, she probably wouldn’t get ANY votes!
This has got Sabrina’s brain a-buzzing. She thinks after Chelsea she’s the next most likeable person, so if that’s now a criteria for getting rid of people SHE might be in trouble! She decides she’s going to have to do her best in the immunity challenge.
Abitchia is just hoping that Chelsea doesn’t win immunity.
For my ass to have any hope of winning, she has gots to go.
Speaking of immunity, it’s time for the first challenge. (Ya gotta love that about the finales, they just jump right into it!) This challenge involves first racing across a balance bean maze. If you fall off you have to go back to the beginning and start again.
Before they start the maze, they have to untie a crapload of knots locking a “gate”. Then they can start the maze. Once the maze is completed, they will next maneuver around a giant net trampoline, collecting five puzzle bags that are tied onto the net. Once they have all of their bags they’ll use the pieces to complete a puzzle that contains clues for three numbers.
After figuring out the three numbers, they will race to the top of a platform and use the numbers to unlock another combination box/lever thing. First person to get the correct numbers and release their flag wins immunity. Damn! That’s some convoluted challenge!
Ready? Go!
Christina and Kim make it through their gates first and start the maze. The others are not far behind. Christina and Kim both fall off the maze and have to start again, losing valuable time. Ultimately Abitchia makes it through the maze first, followed closely by Chelsea. Both ladies hop onto the net trampoline and begin untying puzzle bags.
They’re supposed to be untying the bags that are their assigned colors, but HILARIOUSLY, Abitchia is untying ALL the bags in her area! LMFAO! Unfortunately Jeff tells her about this which makes me want to throw something at my TV.
Shut your fucking mouth, Jeff!

Kim looks like she could be Zac Efron’s mom, they sort of have the same pinched face, blue eyes look going on.
The photo of Abitchia on page two sort of summarizes her in a nut shell for this season – gross, nasty, always running her mouth, in need of a real bra, no common sense (why is she giving the camera a crotch shot??). Her exit interview was just awful, getting in those parting shots about Christina, what was the point except to show how lame Abitchia really is. And her fake apology at the reunion, I would have believed it if show was only awful while other people were around, but she was bad even during the diary sessions.
After 39 days, how are these girls girls eyebrows still in such good shape?? How did Jay loose 30 pounds but Abitchia only loose 15?
The photo/captions for the fallen comrades was AWESOME!!!
I really don’t think there would have been any point to Christina trying to scramble and stay, she was going home no matter what. After 38 days of fighting, she was probably just tired of it.
I really liked how Jonas started his question at final tribal, all serious and bitchy, but then reveled he was just kidding. I wonder if the producers knew he was going to do that and that is why he went first. It was a nice ice breaker. Also, I really don’t believe Kat at all about open heart surgery. Even if she had surgery as an infant, she would have had some sort of scar on her chest. Also, the fact that she didn’t mention that at any time during the whole show? Then sort of blew off the question at reunion, odd.
I loved how even Colon’s mom was disappointed in him. And Blossom only liked Colon because she wanted to see Karma visit him in the game and kick his ass, but I still think that part was totally pointless.
I thought they brought Blossom on as a PSA warning against the dangers of chin implants.
It looks like Dr. Skidmark’s wife has a chin implant too. And I’m gonna ask what I did in the minicap, since that probably won’t be opened as much now that this full recap is up, but shouldn’t Kat have a obvious scar, a scar that I never noticed, from her (two so far, I believe she said) open heart surgeries?
I was hoping Blossom was there to run up on the stage and cut Colon with her chin. But no, she wants to see him again! I’m not watching if they bring KKKolton back.
I thought Kim did a great job and deserved her win. And I hope Abitchia got a much deserved wake up call and learns from this. What a C*.
Kat has a scar on her chest, not an obvious one but it is there. I read somewhere that she has an artificial valve and those have to be replaced at intervals.
“Why oh why is Abitchia’s ass now blurred out?????”
^Ass hair. She is related to Land of the Lost’s Chakka, after all.
Seriously though, I have contemplated the blurring & I think CBS doesn’t like escaping buttcheeks.
Granted, I’ve never been a contestant in the game of Survivor, but I have to wonder each season that one player dominates – why oh why don’t the others vote them off when they have a chance? It makes for a dull season when someone like Rob (in the what?, 4th season?,) wins or Kim.
Worst. Jury. Ever.
So true.
In defense of Amy Farrah-Fowler, aka Blossom, you have to admit that Colon was playing on a whole other level than the other survivors and he made it very interesting. He had a legitimate chance of winning. When he left, it was sooooo boring.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t ever want to see the despicable guy on tv again, but when he was there it made a good show.
Thanks PottyMouth,
When Abitchia was helpfully opening all the other bags, my first thought was “Jeff is gonna tell on her”..then darnit, he did. He really thinks he controls the game at times. I have noticed this during Tribal Council when he asks pointed questions and his commentary is onesided many times. I loved the fact that you referenced his question about going to Tribal Council with immunity to someone that wasn’t even there
That was fun.
Your page 2 pic of Abitchia wins the ugliest pic award.
Along with prob most of the folks watching Survivor who used this as intermission, I didn’t see the fallen comrade’s segment, but I loved yours.
OK. Tarzan loves his wife. He is a plastic Surgeon. His wife’s chin looks like something on Wizard of Oz.
Question(s).
Is he a bad plastic surgeon and he did this to someone he loves? Is he allowing his wife to walk around with that chin because he loves her and knows he is a terrible plastic surgeon, so he won’t work on her? Does he still need new shocks on his truck?
I hope you don’t mind if I add that our TVGasm Fantasy Survivor Team came in #74 out of # 298.
TC, Robin
This season wins as the weirdest in one sense – it was the season of Unknown Alliances. As far as I know, they never showed Tarzan’s alliance w/the women until the 2nd from last episode. And Christine aligning with Abitchia? That still has me wigged out!
I think Carol said above that Christine didn’t fight to be in the final 3 because she was tired of it all…well, then Christine’s even dumber than I thought if that was her reason. I mean, c’mon…you have a chance of going to the final 3 and that’s when you decide to give up?! She’s a silly woman.
Also, I meant to say that just to quiet the nagging voice in my head, I would have tried my best if I were Christine. You don’t want to always wonder “what if?”….
Carol, I agree w/you re: Kat and her surgery. I wondered the same. It was all very odd.
I usually can’t stand to see people cry (it makes me well up), but I enjoyed seeing Abitchia cry. I’m glad she apologized, but I tend to think she was crying for the wrong reasons (fear of losing job, fear of having a shit personality?).
Colon was disgusting at the reunion. Can’t stand that dildo.
Tarzan looked like shit! The long hair looks bad on him, and he looked stoned out of his mind.
Re: Michael/Mike – remember those sketches in the back of magazines that were ads for Drawing School? It would say “draw this!” and had an example sketch. Well, Mike looks like the lumberjack.
Worst Jury EVER is correct. The final tribal was so dull. Everyone seemed to get up and have something to share about themselves instead of making it about the final 3. I can’t bear to listen to Tarzan.
Oh, I have to agree with you, Chelsea is very sweet. I LOL’d when she referred to herself as a “hardass” during the final tribal and also when her dad visited. Also, the “Chelsea, why do you hate people?” question….odd. But I have to say that the editing was enormous this season – there is so much we didn’t see, apparently.
The reunion was the worst too. Let’s hope next season isn’t as bad as this one.
Crankyguy, I wondered the same re: Kat’s scar.
“Let’s hope next season isn’t as bad as this one.”
Let’s Hope. Because as far as I am concerned, if they continue to eat better than I do on Weds night’s yet they can’t manage to spring for a few carpenters and somebody with an idea for a new challenge instead of recycling old one’s, it is going to get older than it already is and I will probably take many intermissions.
Tc, Robin
If Colon comes back on this next season, I won’t watch. The twatwaffle (I love that term!) is just sooooo unworthy of anymore chances on this or any other show.
@ChaCha,
“If Colon comes back on this next season, I won’t watch.”
Oh! I forgot to mention the “3 Survivors return after leaving for medical reasons” in my post. I truly do not want him to be one of them.
Should we expect lot’s of food and clumsy people on old rickety structures while a medivac stands by next season?
TC, Robin
It was definitely a boring season but the right person won. I would love to see Penner on next season – he can make anything interesting! I want to thank you for the great recaps, PottyMouth – you are one of the best!!!
This season was just too frustrating. Why didn’t Chelsea, Sabrina and Christina get together to boot Kim out? How come no one EVER tried to get her out? But yeah, I think they were all playing for second-place: they all get paid anyway, and suddenly receiving a million dollars can do serious damage to your life.
Mike = Lumberjack: Hah!
I would love for Colon to come back for a second season. If only because he has been saying he would’ve won if not for his sickness. Let him come back to play again; he is sure to be eliminated rather quickly. I prefer a bitter Colon to a smug Colon!
(A smug Colon is full of shit..a bitter one is a harm to himself. I know which one I’d prefer.. haha!)
On the one hand, I wanted Jeff to not tell Alicia she was taking the wrong bags. However, if he hadn’t, then she would have screwed over another contestant by taking their puzzle pieces. He had to tell her. It didn’t just affect her.
Also, Colton won’t be returning for Philippines. Philippines finished filming earlier this month, but Colton has been active on Facebook and Twitter throughout the entire filming schedule.
Also, Crankyguy, I don’t know how you haven’t noticed Kat’s scar. It was pretty evident to me. I also follow her on Twitter, and it’s very obvious in some of her pictures there.
“Also, Crankyguy, I don’t know how you haven’t noticed Kat’s scar. It was pretty evident to me. I also follow her on Twitter, and it’s very obvious in some of her pictures there.
If the surgeries had been mentioned earlier in the season instead of on the last episode, then I would have made an effort to look for a scar. I’m not the only one to have missed it, so it must not have been THAT obvious, like, “Holy Crap! What’s with that scar on Kat’s chest?” Also, I don’t follow her on Twitter, so her pictures there haven’t been seen by me. But, thanks for letting me know that there is a scar, because I thought she was making stuff up.
Um. I wasn’t looking at Kat for scars.
Kim’s win was well-deserved and she’ll probably go down as one of my favorite players, but I’d be interested to see how she’d fair in a season where she isn’t playing with idiots.
“Should we expect lot’s of food and clumsy people on old rickety structures while a medivac stands by next season?
TC, Robin”
Ha – that’s probably accurate (sadly). They need to do something STAT because at this point, I’m mainly watching Survivor for the scenery instead of the drama. And I do mean the real scenery – ocean, palm trees, beaches – not the peeps.
itchy, glad someone got my lumberjack reference. we must be around the same age.
yeah, i’m so over it when people just roll over and play dead. you’re on Survivor, assholes! Put up a fight! The season Rob won – on what? his 4th attempt at Survivor? – made me ill. There really is nothing entertaining about watching a dictator w/a bunch of lame-ass followers win the whole thing. Jeff Probst, Mr. Executive Producer, are you listening? Let’s email him
I was just shocked by how small the audience at the finale was… the last time I watched a finale there was a HUGE crowd and video links to each of the contestants home towns where there were crowds of supporters there. I would be generous to estimate that there were more than 150 people here this time
I mean, they’ve been hosting the finale/reunion in David Letterman’s studio for years now. I think the last time they had a larger crowed was Season 4, when they hosted it in Central Park in New York. As for the video links to hometowns, they stopped that a few seasons ago, but I bet that had more to do with budget cuts. I mean, why send a crew out to show a live video link of some people cheering in another town for three seconds?
Thanks for all the recaps Pottymouth.
BTW: I know you want her to be hit by a bolt of lightning (the same bolt that hits Colton) BUT I thought Alicia looked real pretty after she cleaned up and took a bath.
Kat is the closest I’ve ever seen to a real life embodiment of Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield from Sweet Valley High (from the drawn covers of course). If she has any acting talent, she should play them in the movie they are about to make.
