While you’re waiting for the next Survivor season to start why don’t you come over to Armchair Apprentice (http://apprentice.tubecasts.com/blog/). We’ll be posting the pre-season shows on Armchair Survivor just to wet your appetite but after the season start you’ll have to go to the site all by yourself — but don’t worry, it’s free.

BTW: we did the same thing to the Armchair Apprentice fans when Survivor started this fall. Fair is fair.

The big surprise is no surprise — at least as far as who the final two goes (let’s get real — it was only a final two). But, there were some other surprises. Believe it or not, Sundra, Nate and Adam (yes, we were impressed with something Adam did) got kudos from us tonight.

Since it’s the finale, there is only one topic: What did Season 13 bring to the Survivor series and what were the turning points and the high water marks?

We are looking forward to doing some interim shows between the first of the year and the new season of Survivor and The Apprentice (http://apprentice.tubecasts.com). We may have some other surprises for next season, too, so make sure to stay subscribed. Also, we’ll be checking our http://MySpace.com/ArmchairSurvivor account often.

Mike finally gets his mud challenge but - ewwww they made this one disturbing. Ozzy proves he has another talent - mud carrier and wins Immunity. The twist was that he didn’t get to pick who went with him on reward the top three placers go. So Ozzy, Yul and Parvati go for a spa treatment and Adam goes for a treatment on Exile Island. Back at camp Sundra and Becky plot against Ozzy. Immunity requires players to carry 4 packs of puzzle pieces across a balance beam, put the puzzle together, and then roll a cannon in the side pockets. Ozzy wins again! We wonder if the big twist will come, will the Aitu tribe divide??? No, all goes as scheduled and Parvati and her teeth goes home.

Topics:

• Do or Die Strategy - is it a smart one, or should it be modified based on the challenge?
• Girls - why do they do that?

Predictions:

Disappointment in seeing Jonathan go before Adam and Parvati - but alas the show must still go on…

Parvati slices her finger chopping a coconut and the medics are called in for the emergency stitch (yes, all that drama for ONE stitch). On to exciting things - the family comes in for the reward challenge - oh yea, that wasn’t too exciting either. Parvati wins the reward challenge and she sends Jonathan to Exile Island while her dad picks Adam and Sundra to join them for the reward. The rewarded players get to go to a special ceremony on the Island which is really cool. Meanwhile back at camp the other Aitu members are tired of feeding lazy Adam and Parvati and decide to hide the food from them. Lucky for Adam and Parvati they do bring food back for Aitu so Aitu grants them a pardon from lack of food (let’s hope it is just for now).

Immunity is a tough challenge of swimming and balance and in the end Superman Ozzy wins! Jonathan is the lone man out and in the end he talks too much and plays the game too little and is voted out.

Topics:

• Changing strategy near the end of the game - good idea or the first step of the end of it all?
• Should Aitu hide the food from the non-workers? Is it right, fair and/or a good idea.

Predictions
