Who will win Survivor?

[dr.strangelove]

We are down to our last four survivors. Each has rubbed me the wrong way at some point this year, though the only one I truly do not think deserves to win is Jenn.

I thought I'd ask all the survivor fans here two questions.
1) Who do you think will win;
2) Who do you want to win?

For me I think Tom will win. He showed that he is thinking the right way when he suggested whoever win the reward take one of the girls to prevent a girl alliance. I believe he will win at least one of the immunities and will try to get rid of Ian and take one of the girls to the finals with him. I don't think Tom can win against Ian in the jury, but I think he will beat either of the girls. If he takes Jenn he will lose Greg's vote, so I bet he wins immunity and takes Katie. I can see Katie only getting Ian's vote or maybe none (though I am not sure about the wild card Caryn and how much drama Coby wants to display, which could play against Tom). Either way, I don't see Tom losing this thing unless he goes against Ian in the final.

I hope Ian wins. I think he is a better player. Tom got lucky that the other tribe sucked as bad as they did. Had the merge been closer in terms of team strength, or had they lost a challenge or two, he would have been one of my picks to go. Ian though has made a few mistakes lately. He has let slip that his alliance with Tom is weaker than he shows, and he might slip up one too many times. I want him to win, but he has made a few mistakes and I think Tom will beat him.

I don't think Jenn or Katie have a chance with the Jury unless they are able to get rid of both guys. I think Katie would take Ian with her to the jury, and she would lose. I don't see Jenn winning an endurance immunity, but if she does she knows her only chance is to take Katie. I don;t think this is likely, but if it is Jenn v. Katie, I think Katie will win on Ian and Tom's votes, but it will be close.

It was a good season and I've had fun watching it.

1. Tom will win

via immunities.....

2. Tom will probably win

But I hope Ian does. However, sometimes Survivor can really surprise you and someone like Katie or Jenn could pull it off because of their (often supposed) "strategy": Jenn flew under the radar, Katie did --?. Or sometimes people get sick of the people that constantly win immunity and act like the alpha male.

3. I think Tom will win

And I think Tom deserves to win. He's the strongest player and the others had the chance to get rid of him and make it a more even match, but they didn't and so he obviously used the outwit part of the game to stick around even when he couldn't outlast or outplay and so he deserves to win. That's not to say that I like him, but who else is there, Katie? Jenn? :puke:

4. think Tom. want Ian.

Tom will win the final immunity (unless it involves shooting). It is usually an endurance task and he's won every one of those so far. He'll take Katie (or Jenn if she is left, although I doubt she will be) and he'll win.

5. I think Tom will win

I would rather Ian win even though he did a stupid thing in picking Tom to share reward with and almost got booted because of it. I don't think either of the girls deserves to win and I hope neither does.

6. Is it possible.....

that this was planned by Katie and Ian in advance? For Ian to choose Tom and for Katie to act upset? We didn't get to hear much about what Tom said to Ian right after they left for reward. I assume Tom would be completely suspect of Ian's plans at that point, knowing they JUST discussed Ian taking one of the women instead. Did Ian just really screw up at that point? He seems to have played so smart up until then, that such a blatent error seems unlikely.

I think the women were STUPID not to take out Ian. Do any of them really believe they would stand a better chance of beating Ian or Tom in the end? I think their only chance was to go up against another woman. Now none of them deserve to win, IMO.

7. I really don't care who wins.

I can't believe a couple of episodes ago when the women had a chance to band together and oust Tom they didn't. What a bunch of stupid dolts. Unless they can win each and every immunity challenge, they're toast. I wanted Steph to win. She deserved it.

[Piperay]

8. Yeah, I was for Steph too

it still really irks me the way she got the boot.

9. *yawn*

What a totally boring, predictable season. No outstanding personalities, at all. Yeah, there was that one little incident tonight, but, that hardly made up for the basic snorefest that was this season.

[kaitykaity]

10. Yeah, I pretty much knew in week 3 that it was going to be

Tom. I stopped watching at week 4,

:boring:

11. It certainly wasn't one of my favorite seasons

but I like Survivor no matter what. Jeff seemed to think it was the greatest season ever. Heh. I think I would have liked it better if Koror had lost all the immunity challenges and Ulong was the tribe left at the end. It just seemed like they had more interesting personalities. At least I thought so at the time. Not enough scheming in Koror, it seemed like they had their alliances from day one and not much changed.

What the hell was Ian thinking? Sure, he wanted his integrity but I didn't think he'd really lost it. I wanted to smack that kid. It's at least $100,000 (for 2nd) and if the money made him feel bad he could donate it to a dolphin charity. He should have won. He was pretty strong and he had some strategy. Tom and Katie both hounding him that one night really showed them to be hypocrites.

I didn't care whether Tom or Katie won. I didn't really dislike either of them and I didn't really like either one. But Katie winning would have been more exciting, more unpredictable. Did Jeff ever say what the final vote was? Was it 6-1?

12. Every season is, "The best season ever!!!"

Especially when he's about to promote the next season. Dimples has one job above all else, promote, promote, promote. I wonder how much they're paying him now, especially since he's deemed indispensable.

ON THE OTHER HAND........the next season is among Mayan ruins!!!!

So, there. I'm hooked. For real.

I do believe it might be time to let someone besides Loki (aka Mark Burnett) pick the contestants, though.

Oh, I really thought dropping the old torches of the former Survivors among the watery graves of military warcraft was a bit offensive. No, make that a very offensive. No pun intended.
