I haven't watched the live show yet, but I did watch the first two hours to see who wins. I would have never picked Sarah to win, at the start. Brad made a big mistake taking her over Tai. He totally underestimated her and it cost him $1,000,000. Good thing he doesn't need the money.
A few random thoughts. I felt so bad for Cirie. I actually shed a tear for her. What a terrible way to go out. While it might be nice to be able to say that she wasn't voted out (and she didn't even get a vote against her at that TC), it's awful to lose by default. Who knows what could have been. I don't think she would have won...she was way too smart and too dangerous for anyone to take her to final three...but I really wanted her to win!
Culpepper is a bully and an ass. I liked him throughout this show much better than the last time he was on. But the way he tried to strongarm Tai into giving up his idol was terrible. Tai did the right thing. I respect him for not giving in to Culpepper. Just like I respected him for not giving his half of the super-idol to the other two guys on his last season.
I also respected Troyzan's final speech. He knew at that point that he likely wasn't getting any votes and gracefully said as much. It was kind of weird to see him back out like that, but he was honest with himself and with the jury.
Overall, I thought it was a very enjoyable season. I'll try to watch the live show tonight, but it's game 7 of the Senators/Penguins series (GO SENS!) so it might have to wait until the weekend.
