sherryillkOne of the best seasons ever! I can't remember a more enjoyable season of Survivor outside of possibly Australia but Colby, the man I was rooting for didn't win. Every year with every season there are uncomfortable moments, and questionable actions, and you wonder if your favorite people are going to last and make it to the end. You despair as one after another seem to fall until all the people who are left are the ones that you hate and you wonder who you should root for because they're all terrible.
This season wasn't like that. My favorite person WON!!! Oh, Yul, I love that man. His credentials make me salivate because I would totally eat him up. He's brilliant, successful -- EXACTLY the type of man that I love. And he managed to beat Ozzy, probably the single best competitor out there. I even had doubts about Yul beating Ozzy because Ozzy acted without reproach. He was completely honorable and he paid a really solid game. Yul on the other hand wasn't so pure. He was honorable to an extent, he was loyal to an extent, but he certainly made some very questionable moves that might not be seen so well. But on the other hand, I can't imagine anyone really saying anything bad about what he did. It was good strategy and he was a very good game player. And he won so obviously that shows how well he played the game. I guess this tells you that you can play mostly honorable, play a very strategic and smart game and if you follow it up with some physical prowess which Yul definitely had, then that is the best combination to win survivor. He's probably the smartest person to have won so far. I mean that guy's credentials... It's incredible to me that such a man would even want to do something like this because he seems like he would have so much better, bigger, more important things he could be working on.
I'm so glad though. From the very beginning I was rooting for Yul. He was the smartest out there which will attract me no matter what. He was really buff and cute which is another thing that would always attract me. And he was part of the Asian group which does help I guess. But I think being a guy was a bit more than that because I was into Adam and JP too. Although afterwards, Adam was shown badly so my opinion on him changed...
But Yul was my favorite and the Asian group I certainly followed closely and after the merge, it was all about Aitu for me. It was sad when they were losing but when they had the mutiny and the four Aitu members remaining totally came together as a team and were stronger than ever, they started to change things up. They remained true to each other, something I have NEVER seen in Survivor before. And I adored it, totally ate it up! It was so refreshing to not have them start wondering, start doubting each other and then backstabbing each other. They were true and that was beautiful. Even at the end when Becky didn't take the Idol, I was so incredibly proud of her! And to have the last spot come down to a tiebreaker seemed so apt. Although, both Becky and Sundra sucked at firemaking. I mean really, over an hour and a half to make fire? WITH MATCHES?! I've never seen that before certainly. It was a bit sad. They really didn't need three people at the end because it was really all about Ozzy and Yul. I mean Becky didn't even get any votes... I felt kinda bad about that but she must have known it was going to end like that.
Anyway, I'm happy right now. When it was said that Yul won, I screamed in triumph and jumped up from my seat. I threw my stuffed dog to my bed and it hit the wall by its eyes which probably alarmed my suitemates a bit. I mean with me screaming and that sound of something hitting the wall... I can't imagine what they thought was happening in my room. I was so scared that it would be Ozzy because if Ozzy had won, no one would be complaining because he really played a good game. But it's Yul and everyone has to admit, that was the best game that was ever played.
Okay, I procrastinated enough. I still have about five more papers to go through and a slide show before I can go to sleep. I'm not sure I'll do all that well on tomorrow's final but I have a feeling it won't be that bad. I didn't like the class but it was easy to study for and to keep up on so I know a lot of the concepts already. It's really just reviewing and getting them all in my mind so I can get it all down tomorrow. It's supposedly four questions. I'm only worried about the defining terms part because that would be bad... :\ I'm not sure what he would put on it so... Hopefully it'll be good overall. And then I get to study for Physics. Joy. But three days and then it's OVER! I can't wait! ^^
