The last season was so interesting that no one bothered to post about the finale.

Doesn't bode well for B vs B vs B...

I enjoyed the last season. While Survivor is never really predictable, the wining type strategy is. Mixing in the loved ones as teammates / competitors added a needed element that kept if from being predictable.

I would guess that three tribes will become two tribes and then one tribe soon after - a good plan to break up whichever 5 people who chose to band together within the first 15 minutes on the island that manage to stay loyal to their plan.

Same here. I enjoyed it too. The finale was stupid, as QuitterColton got to speak a lot, and that pissed me off. Don't know why it wasn't posted about here.
