FINALE!

[Jeff Probst]

Final 2: Bobby Jon and Brooke

Either can win and I'd be extremely happy.

[JP]

Aww... Poor Cindy. They pulled it off though, and my hat is off to them. I personally think that Brooke will win, but it depends all on how they present themselves. I am surprised that their pregame final two hopes have came true.

[Austin]

This is for sure going to be a close vote. both of them are deserving of the win!<3

[Sally Schumann]

Jeff, we should have put money on our PW's pool.

I agree that both players deserve to win. Bobby Jon was a master manipulator who was able to stay under the radar for the entire game. Brooke on the other hand was outspoken, a challenge hog, had the courage to stick her neck out and was for the most part well-liked by everyone.

BJ had the strategy and manipulation skills
Brooke had the challenge and social skills.

What a great finish to a great game.

[Tina Scheer]

both played a great game

I can't decide on my favorite one

[Bobby "Bob Dawg" Mason]

WooWoo. Whoever wins, the Bob Dawg is content.

[Sally Schumann]

After Morgan and Jim's questions I would definitely give Bobby Jon the edge right now. Morgan is still 50/50 on who she will vote for but Brooke didn't do herself any favours with Jim in her answers.

[JP]

I am still rooting for Brooke although it is looking like Bobby Jon will win.

[Jeff Probst]

Also! You guys can sign up on the Palau vs. Vanuatu board now.

I'll miss you all, but this time, you all get to prediction write on me!!!

[Sally Schumann]

Good luck Aras! And watch your back out there.

[Brad]

After reading the jury lounge and doing alot of thinking, I think the all-stars should be

Bobby Jon
Brooke
Jim
Rafe
Stephenie


If you really technically think about it, Brandon and Cindy really didnt do much. They keep saying "I had all these plans and schemes" but I'm not seeing them either. In my opinion, Brandon and Cindy wouldn't have made it nearly as far as they did if Bobby Jon and Brooke weren't so smart. Bobby Jon and Brooke make it for being two genius. Rafe makes it for being an all-around good guy and fun player to watch. Stephenie makes it because she was probably one of the top five smartest players in the game - just got screwed by Bobby Jon's and Brooke's intelligence. That leaves a fifth spot and I think it goes to Jim for being so competitive and being interesting to watch.

[Jeff Probst]

Well I do think Stephenie is smart, but she didn't accomplish a lot in this game....so along with a few others I invited her back for the second chance Ulong tribe in Palau vs. Vanuatu.

I am still deciding not who should be in All-Stars, but how many All-Stars should there be. I have worked out a cast for every number I have thought of....but I am still just not entirely positive which one I want to go with. It might be fun to have a few extra people to mix it up, but then they might not be the best All-Stars. But if I go with people who are definite All-Stars then I feel like the group is missing something. Plus it is hard to cut people.

While all of that is true you have to keep in mind one thing. The only reason why BJ and Brooke are F2 instead of Brandon and Jim is because of Cindy. This is a game where you have to place trust in people and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I still agree that BJ and Brooke played a better game but it basically came down to which pair Cindy thought she could break up easier.

My allstars:

Brooke
BJ
Rafe
Cindy
Jim
alternate - Brandon

[Brad]

Probst I wouldn't hesitate for one second to change up the number of all-stars from each season.

For example, there is alot more all star material from seasons 2 & 3 than there were from my season. In my opinion, my season had 4 or 5 good allstars and I only know of three that are still around (Billy, JP, and I). Personally, I think you should do as CBS did and switch up the numbers. Good call!
