Everybody ready? Got your snacks? Got your tasty adult beverages? As the show airs here on the east coast, I'll be live-blogging with all the major happenings. Refresh the page to see the latest news! But, as always, the real party is in the comments area. I hope to see you there!
We're in for the big two-hour season finale followed by the one hour long reunion show. I'll probably fade away a bit live blogging during the reunion show, yet the party will keep going in comments!

JURY

Debbie Wanner
Zeke Smith
Sierra Thomas

Michaela Bradshaw
Survivor fans ready?
The finale reunion is in Los Angeles once again. I'm biding time as Jeff goes through narrating what's gone on so far this season.
Sarah tells us she targeted Michaela because she was Cirie's right hand man. Cirie wants to salvage her relationship with Sarah. She tells Sarah in front of Tai that Tai was the "rat" who wanted Sarah out. He admits it -- he wanted to vote out Sarah. Now he's known as Tai the Liar (in his words). But he does have two idols. He tells Brad about them. Brad doesn't quite trust him, but thinks he might be able to use him.
Immunity Challenge time -- Race through maze, collect three bags puzzle parts, rose dial puzzle. The winner also gets a feast reward. It's also not an easy puzzle -- 41 pieces!
Brad wins! He picks Troyzan to go with him to eat, then goes for Sarah, too. The three decide that Aubry should be a target. Brad wants to flush out one of Tai's idols. He tells Tai that Aubry is going home. He wants Tai to play one idol for himself and let him hold onto the other one as a show of trust.
Oh, my.
Tai goes to Aubry, tells her that Brad said she's going home. He shows her his idols. Cirie joins in and talks nicey-nice to Tai. She tells him they need to unite and vote out either Sarah or Troyzan. Tai goes off crying.
Why do fools tell people about their found idols!?!?!
Tai cries some more.
Tribal Council time! They talk about Tai being the rat in camp. They're acting like all will be voting for Tai. He doesn't cry now ... not yet, anyway.
Jeff tallies the votes. Tai plays an idol. Then he plays the second idol for Aubry! Sarah plays the Legacy Advantage to save herself. Troyzan gives up his idol to save himself, too!
The tally:
Cirie is the only one who can go. No one voted for her, though. She's voted out without a single vote. She's gracious and gets kudos all around. In LA, she gets a standing ovation from the crowd.
It's right to the next Immunity Challenge. Use paddles to maneuver balls through a series of obstacles. First to get three balls through wins. Sheesh, Brad is blowing them all out of the water even though it's not a water challenge! He wins his fourth individual immunity challenge. I have to say he needs it, though. He cries.
Aubry is worried. She needs numbers. She plans on making a pitch to Brad. My guess is that it will either be her or Tai out. Maybe I'm wrong.
Troyzan, Sarah and Brad want Aubry out. Aubry and Tai talk to Sarah -- telling her Troyzan is too close to Brad and they need to target him. Sarah isn't sure she can trust Tai. She talks to Tai; he tells her Aubry should go tonight. Brad tries to bully him into voting whoever he (Brad) wants him to vote.
Tai tells Sarah he won't be bullied. He will now vote for Troyzan to go even though he had already decided Aubry.
Tribal Council time. Whoa. Troyzan may have blown his game -- says no one could beat him in the final three.
The Tally --
Aubry, Troyzan, Aubry, Aubry
What a shame. They should have gone for Troyzan!
Final Immunity Challenge! Race through an obstacle, down a waterslide, collect bags of puzzle pieces, solve puzzle. Sarah is in the lead. But, of course, the puzzle solving can change that all around. Brad has taken over the lead.
Brad Culpepper wins Immunity for the fifth time.
He's very smug. I hate to see that in a winner, no matter how good they do. He tells us no one can beat him and Tai will go home.
Tai wants Sarah to consider a tie ... and the fire challenge.
Tribal Council time. Lots of tie talk.
The Tally:
Tai, Troyzan, Tai, Tai
Bye-bye Tai.
After their peaceful night and food, it's time for the jury questioning.
Jeff says they're changing things up -- center around Outwit, Outplay and Outlast.
Outwit - Social Aspect
Zeke - Sarah, gave you my jacket. Bad-ass. Sierra gave you Legacy advantage. I'm your champion tonight.
Sarah tells them her personal relationships were 100* real. Ozzy accuses her of going low. He gives Brad props for his wins. He will be Brad's champion. Cirie said that Sierra was voted out because she was Brad's brains. Brad speaks of his tie with JT. Michaela asks Brad how much he knows about her seeing as it's a social game. Tai thought Sarah was real with him. She claims she did whatever she needed. Sarah brings up her undercover police work. Debbie doesn't respect her. Debbie is for Brad. Michaela asks Brad what he's done in the social aspect. Ozzy calls Troyzan a passenger rather than a driver.Brad is once again defending his social game. Tai brings up the bullying aspect. Heh. Hali says he used condescension as a tool.
Outplay - Shelter, etc.
Ozzy says Brad leads in this aspect. He's really in Brad's camp. Debbie agrees with Ozzy. (Troyzan is really getting neglected in all of this despite the fact that he claimed he could beat them all.) Sarah says building the shelters, etc. weren't what it's all about. She claims that her own gameplay got her there.
Outlast -
Brad tells them you don't have to deceive and lie, talks about relationships and relying on winning immunities.
Sarah tells them you have to strike first. Sarah thinks the jury members could have beat her. She was in on every vote. Again talks about police work.
Troyzan tells them he wasn't the best, appreciates them all for the adventure. (He knows he's out of the running.)
As we could guess, Michaela voted for Sarah as did Zeke. Ozzy voted Brad as did Debbie.
It's off to the arena in Los Angeles.
The final tally for the win:
Sarah, Brad, Sarah, Brad, Brad, Sarah, Sarah, Sarah, SARAH!
SARAH wins!
Congratulations Delee and RBennie, winners of the blog pool!
I'm glad Sarah won. Sure, she was sneaky and all. But one thing she never was ... was smug. Brad's cockiness made me want him to lose. And, Troyzan was never in the running, as it should be.
I want to thank everyone for taking part here on the blog this season. Y'all rock!
Next season is in Fiji, separated by Heroes and Healers. Oh, and Hustlers.

Crap at the final 3. Now I can say this. I heard a rumor on Survivor Sucks that the final 3 were, Sarah, Brad, and Troyzan. So, I guess it was true. I was so hoping it wasn't true at all. It sucks that one of these 3 will win.
Jackie - how are your legs doing??? And more importantly is it quiet there tonight??
Thank goodness, Penny. Happy to hear it!
Oh no, Penny! Did they say the winner?
Yes, you slack-jawed issy!
The meteorologist just told us that we'll be able to see Survivor on all access, which you pay for. He said this was too important to not telecast; and it will not be on later. I can't believe this. I am very sad. I just lost respect for my local station. I know this weather is very important, but to tell people they'll have to pay to see it, is horrible.
Sarah's voice....
No, Petals, they didn't say who won. Just who were in the final 3.
YAY Michaela
Troyzan might as well get up & go sit with the jury!
chicks will NEVER let another chick win.
So Brad wins? Damn, I hope not.
LOL ed, yes!
Troyzan - the invisible Survivor.
If you had all-access and a wi-fi connection you could be streaming it right now!
What moves?
LOVE the Ozzy shots.
XOXXOOXXOX
Terrible final 3. This was all set up by Cirie schemeing and taking out the wrong people earlier. Hind sight is 20/20 though. I would hope they vote for Sarah but I fell Brad probably wins this.
the question is: will the jury reward Brad's bullying, or Sarah's "good cop"-ing?
I can't stand him
Ditto David!
Cheers to Ed!! I agree
I'm looking at pictures of the area the tornado hit. So sad. I know the people at the businesses. The Family Dollar was just built.
Looks like I won't be seeing this finale at all. I'm sad.
SueGee, when are the Survivors on Pop?
Not many in the jury liked Brad. Troyzan sled in with nothing done. Sarah did play a good game by STEALING her friends advantage.
Hi guys... just checking in for the finale.
OH, Ozzy, I love you. But dang...
Just lost our satellite. The south is apparently blocked. LOL
All POP has are the old shows. That is where I watch ER... Survivor on the CBS web site used to be free after a few days, First run and streaming on CBS All-access
They'll give it to Brad even though he cut them off at the knees in the game.. Jeeze-Louise!
Sharon came to claim her crown if Brad wins! Anyone else here still in it??
Ozzy is for Brad? Figures men will stick up for men. LOL
Troyzan may have been the ultimate goat, but he made me tear up with his final plea.
And Debbie, Penny. Don't forget Debbie, lol
Hey Sharon. Grab a margarita or a Stella. Petals has champagne for the finale...
I want to see this so badly. Dang.
Ozzy is being so bitter tonight! Go Sarah!
Well, Monty, Ozzy is not crazy, Debbie is. LOL
Ozzy voted emotionally... nothing wrong with that, but he did.
Cheers Penny :)))
*sigh* Ozzy can do no wrong in my book, LOL
Champagne is waiting to POP for the winner.
Ozzy always cuts his hair off for the reunion
Sarah wins!!! Pop that champagne, Petals!!
AUUGGHHHHHHH!!!!
YES!!!!!!!
Lots of new 'hair-do's' tonight!
Well. out of that final 3 I would have voted for her....
They should have taken Tail. I noticed no one threw Troyzan a sympathy vote. He did nothing to deserve it.
Petals, if they had a hunk award You Know Who would win.
RBennie and I have bragging rights until next season. Thanks to Jackie for having us all for a fantastic Survivor.
Becky, that was the perfect reason to take Troyzan to the end.
Congrats Delee!!
Sue Gee, I'm trying to remember....are you the Dubs fan in here? Looks like it's going to be the Cavs & Warriors again. Third time's the charm!
Becky - YES
YES! Sarah won!! Does Brad have the deer in the headlight look? LOL
Penny - no. More like a defeated turd look LOL
I guess out of them all, Sarah should have won. I still do not like anyone in the final 3. LOL
Jackie, you don't know how much you are appreciated. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. This is so appreciated. Hope you're feeling somewhat better.
Yes Ed - Dubs all the way!!!
Tai took the high road
No crown for me... again... but of the 3 remaining, I'm glad Sarah won.
Congrats to Delee and RBennie for the pool win. =)
Of the three left I would have voted for Sarah also. Not really a win for the fans, so the big winners were the pool winners. =)
Thank you Jeff!
Think I will go do a few things before the show starts here. See you all tomorrow night!!
*sueG*
I think Brad was so smug, he thought it was all about him. Glad Sarah won. I didn't like how she treated Sierra or Cirie, but of the 3, she did play well, even if dirty sometimes.
I've had 3 full hours of wonderful meteorology on all my stations. I'm going to have to find my season finales elsewhere. LOL.
BIG BROTHER!!!!!
oh dang Penny. That sucks. I;m sorry.
Agree, Penny. I think it would have been much closer if Brad had formed personal relationships even the way Sarah did it, but he got that cocky atheletic "I can't be beat" attitude. He even said he had this in the bag. It was definitely part of his downfall.
Jackie, thank you for creating the best blog around. I always have the best time!! Feel better!
See y'all for Big Brother!! Can't wait!!
Gotta LOVE Zeke's speech
And, all the stations here had to try to outdo themselves. Every one of them followed suit. Not one showed their shows; and many were season finales.
Thanks Jackie for all you do and I hope you get better.
Hope you get better also Becky.
For those not coming for the finale of TAR, I hope to see you in a month for Big Brother. Everyone have a great June. =)
I'm so tired, sorry. Love ALL of you, but I'm old & give out.
Tank you Jackie. Can't wait to see you guys in the BB room XOXOX
Yes, thank you Jackie for the best place to hang out and discuss our shows. I truly enjoy each and every one of you with Survivor, BB and TAR. I'm going to head out now also and I'll see some tomorrow night and the rest of you at the end of June when our BIG SHOW begins.
Thank you again Jackie!!
Jackie, I will be adding your praises now You are terrific! Your blog is where we can come and know that people will be treated with respect, no matter if people who are here overwhelming against your view, they will keep that line of respect enforced. We are not restricted on what we say, just reined in if you think why are wrong. Thank you,
Ozzy with short hair and making a political statement. Hmm.
I want to thank you all for spending the season here!
Good Night. Enjoyed hanging with you all! Ditto to all the comments for Jackie, much deserved! Thank You Jackie. Let's put a 'wrap' on TAR & bring on BIG BROTHER!!
Thanks Jackie for hosting us! You do a great job with the blogs!
Jackie has the greatest blog around. Very much appreciated. I don't know how you find time to sleep. Thank you so much.
Will see you all during Big Brother!!
So, what did they all talk about during the reunion.
I haven't gotten involved with A-R. I am running out of get up and go before 8. I wish they would put it in a better place, Unfortunately I have read that it is on the possible chopping block. I think CBS is giving them the kiss of death by moving it into a new date each day so much and so late.
Good night, my dear friends. See you on BB.
They talked about a ton of things -- Brad apologized to Tai for bullying him, the Zeke thing, everything. Doesn't your TV provider allow you tow watch at their website after the show? I don't care for my Comcast, but I can always watch shows about a day later there.
TAR has been renewed, Becky.
No, they do not Jackie. It's not up and our local station has already said they would not be showing it at a later time. I'm really disappointed. :'(
I don't know where to check to see if Dish shows it at a later time.
Penny, do you have something like "On Demand" with Dish? If not, maybe you can look on the actual channel's website in a day or 2 ... might be able to find it there then???
Wow!!!! Sarah was my personal favorite and Brad was my second choice! I really liked Tie on a personal level, but he just made it impossible to trust him! Glad to see Sarah made it even though I didn't like what she did to Sierra... I had to keep telling myself it's a game!
Thanks everyone and Jackie! It will be Big Brother time too!
Yes, I'll look at their website in a few days. I'm just disappointed.
Your in my prayers Becky... Hugs
Dish does have a website, dishanywhere, but I just checked and they have last week available but not this week yet.
The bootleg sites don't have it up yet either. If you wish I can post the bootleg sites address when the show is posted Nickelpeed. Just let me know.
Thanks David. I do have dish anywhere. Didn't think about looking there. LOL CBS all access will have it, too. I just joined the free week.
OK, lol. I won't post any of the bootleg sites then. The reunion show is already posted but not the main show yet. Don't want to give them any more exposure than they already get anyway. =)
