Survivor Season-Finale Recap: Gone With the Wind


Tonight’s finale is the best example yet of how the fire-making challenge continues to be a thorn in the New Era’s side.

We get a great speech from her at the final tribal about how Sam is the guy she always wanted to be in school, the one who all the teachers loved, who was good at sports, who got lots of romantic attention from the ladies, and his confidence (some would say arrogance) may be a little undeserved. Rachel absolutely ran the show, she won challenges, she found idols and advantages, and she might have been on the wrong side of some votes, but, as she said, she got the alliance of Andy, Teeny, Sue, and Caroline together and that took her to where she is sitting at the end. As she says in her final speech, everyone thought she was going home and eulogized her to the jury, and then she got up at her own funeral, played an immunity idol, and not only saved herself but apparently pissed off the wind enough that it would take Sam’s side in the fire-making challenge.
