WE DIDN'T COME FOR THE ICING; WE CAME FOR THE CAKE: Tomorrow night's Survivor finale caps off a truly top-tier season of castaway competition.
For once, we had a season with many heroes, no villains, and up until this past week, not one ounce of castaway self-righteous complaining about the lying and scheming that too-often has taken the fun out of the show.
The show has been anchored by Skipper and Gilligan, challenge-wise and narratively, and either of them would be the most likeable-and-deserving winner of the show since season three's Ethan Zohn. In short, the difference between a great season and an okay season of Survivor is all in the casting, and this time, they got it right.
One thing I'll say about Ian: he may suffer the curse of the car reward (no castaway has won the car challenge and gone on to win the game, and man, did he misplay last week's episode), but that boy knows how to win a vote.
So: who are you rooting for? and who are you predicting will win?
