Not me listening to 17 of the 26 interviews so far. I'm such a stan.
I'm kinda dreading the impending snubs on the women's side of the roster. Since Kelly and a few others appear to be locks, it looks like some combo of Stephanie/Kimmi/Monica/T-Bird will not make it. I want all of them to play! Hopefully Natalie, Mikayla, Sabrina, and Kelley are all out of the running by now. I was actually voting for Sabrina initially but her family tragedies and lack of campaigning made me stop voting for her.
Also, I've been going back and watching a few of the older seasons I've never seen before. Gabon was such a hot mess. It started really slowly with them just booting all the women and cranky GC getting so much camera time, but then it really picked up. Kenny and Crystal are truly the stars of the season, and the wheels definitely came off the wagon for me once they were booted. It's a shame how much sway Sugar had the entire game. Her essentially saving Bob by the going to the tiebreaker was ridiculous, especially with a block of four former Kotas sitting on the jury. She really ****ed Matty over. Matty or Susie would have won the season had she not done that, and Susie is actually one of the most underrated players in Survivor history. Her flipping on Kota after the second swap was brilliant. She was on the bottom of that alliance for sure, and she managed to carve herself a path to the end. Nothing against Bob, but he was a mediocre winner that was only at the final thanks to immunities and Sugar. I caught myself laughing during parts of the final tribal council and the reunion. So many characters. Not a great season, but an overall solid one.
I'm like halfway through Micronesia now and it's fantastic. Six of the first seven boots being men, what even? That never happens. The messy ass fans put the Caramoan fans to shame. The blindsides they delivered were on point. Even the voluntary departures of Fairplay and Chet, plus the med-evac of Penner haven't bogged the season down. It's just a shame that pathetic Chet couldn't vote with Erik, Tracey, and Ami to blindside Ozzy. He could've voted with them and then quit the next day. He's a loser. At least Ozzy gets blindsided later...

Susie was a terrible person and had she won I'd have been done with this show forever. I've hated contestants before, and I've hated contestants after, but Susie has been the only one I've ever wanted to run into in a dark alley and physically destroy. RIP, Onions. Their demise is still the biggest tragedy in Survivor history.

Would a truly terrible player come within one vote away from winning the game? Recognize.
Stay pressed at Queen Jesusita; her win would've been would've been one the biggest kii's in the show's history, and would've topped Gabon perfectly. Onions just SUCKED, and them getting voted out by a group consisting of a gamer/nerd, giant/former athlete who now can't do ****, emotional wreck pin up girl and 50 yo Latina hairdresser is still one of the best story-lines ever and gave as a top 3 season of ALL time.
Not if there's god in this universe. I'm still BAFFLED at why would people even vote for her, the point of this poll was to get the best cast we can. I can GUARANTEE that if she makes it on, those who were inept enough to vote for her WILL apologize after she fails hard.

If she makes it, I think she'll do good. She's not an immediate target like a lot of people from this pool.
