Episode Report Card Sara M: B | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT If Your Father Dies, Don't Tell Corinne
By Sara M | Season 17 | Episode 13 | Aired on 12.14.2008
The Final Three arrive and the jury is brought in. I think Matty looked better with the beard. Now he looks like David Bowie at his most androgynous. Probst recites his little speech about how the jury now has the power, and there's Corinne with her smug smile as if being on the jury is somehow better than winning a million dollars or whatever the runner-ups get. It isn't!
Susie's opening statement is first. Uh oh -- she's going with her "I just wanted to try" theme. She says she was scared in the beginning with all the impressive people she was competing against, like Marcus the Doctor and Crystal the gold medalist. Huh ... so Susie knew that Crystal won a gold medal. I wonder how many other people did, and when during the game Susie found that out. I also wonder if Susie's relatively poor challenge performances (except, of course, for the TWO she WON) can be explained by her being unable to move at the shock of seeing gold medalist Crystal do so badly. Susie says she isn't afraid anymore, and thus she isn't afraid to stand here against Bob. Susie has either forgotten that Sugar is there, too, or doesn't consider her worthy of mention. Either way, burn! She says she feels confident now, and Probst totally winks at her. Probst loves Susie, which is weird since she was on the hated Fang tribe and she isn't an alpha male.
Bob's next. He's going for the suck up approach, which is smart considering the people he's playing to and how full of themselves they are. He says he wanted to make everyone's life better around camp, and that he didn't outplay or outwit any of them, just outlasted. Ew. I wouldn't vote for him just for that. If you can't outplay or outwit me, then you don't deserve a million dollars. Probst does not wink at Bob.
Sugar is the last to go. She's not expecting to win, so she doesn't give a shit. She thinks she played a "perfect social game," which Corinne shakes her head at, of course. Because Corinne is an expert on human relations, so we should trust her opinion. Sugar continues that lying is part of this game and she's sorry for sacrificing "some innocents," although she doesn't sound very sorry. She reminds everyone that she found the immunity idol and kept it for the entire game, and never had one vote cast against her. Which is, honestly, impressive. She says she never really had any alliances because she went from tribe to tribe and spent all that time on Exile. I think Ken and Crystal might disagree with that. And Matty. And Ace. Except he isn't on the jury since Sugar booted his ass out before the merge, ha ha! Sugar then says that she voted to keep Bob in the Final Three because she thought he deserved to be there, the implication being that Matty doesn't. So there goes his vote.
