So anyway, ARAS WINS! Yay! Danielle was one of those under the radar type players. Everybody was expecting it to come down to Terry and Aras, but Danielle held the final decision in her hands. In retrospect there is not much she could have done.

Nice hoodie, but you are no Jack Bauer

After the winner was announced and we had our first commercial break, we returned with a Terry and Aras montage. These two really had a great rivalry. I have been in the anti-Terry camp, but now that I have gloated over Aras' win, I can talk about how tough it was for Terry to be out there. Give him credit for sticking it out against the odds when he had no allies. If only he had one ounce of strategy in his body, he may have actually won.

Jeff, who for some reason changed out of his rain forest trendy to more of a gap commercial from 1994 trendy, spent a little time on the rivalry. Jeff was quick to point out that Terry never had to use the immunity idol because he won all of those immunities and Danielle was picked for the only one he didn't win. Just as Terry was feeling good about himself, Aras remarked that he was kind of happy Terry won all of those immunities because everybody would have voted for Terry and when Terry used the immunity idol, the vote would probably go towards Aras. So in fact, Terry was a big part of letting Aras back into the game. I'm not sure if Aras had been working on that line for a long time, but it did knock some more smug out of Terry's attitude.
