Best Episode Ever

It's amazing to me that Survivor, in its 14th season, never really peaked until now. Until tonight, there had never been an episode that fully realized the show's potential. It took a special blend of character and circumstance to give us this sort of powerhouse. Thursday's twisty, betrayal-filled tour de force was probably the finest episode in the show's history. There have been many beautiful backstabbings, many cunning plans, many shattered alliances, and many cold-blooded vote-offs, but never before have the best of these psychological machinations come together in such a perfectly plotted climax.

I've been thinking about it and as great as the episode was, don't you think the randomness of it took something away from it all? Dreamz makes decisions based not on strategy but based on gut. It was almost like he never even decided to stab them in the back, he just did it.

Agreed with Jeremy, but that was still really sick. Cassandra deserves some praise for her crushing of the reward challenge and showed that she is really paying attention.

I just can't believe that Dreamz is a real person. Also, what about Yao-Man dominating, absolutely crushing the immunity challenge? Has an old man ever been such a huge physical threat? Absolutely amazing episode!

we're so far behind on survivor here in oz and for some reason, the show has fallen out of favour with the networks and if they do buy it, they only show it at late'ish times...

oh well, at least we can lay claim to having the hottest survivor chick in survivor: outback.. god bless heidi!
