Although I didn’t blog about Survivor Gabon this season much, I did watch it.  I suppose it is like watching a car wreck – you want to look away but you can’t.  I really despised some of these horrible people that were on this season.  In fact, even during last night’s tribal council, the ultimate bitch, Corrine, blasted the 3 finalists with truly horrible comments.  Randy, who was deservedly embarrassed by falling for the fake idol, was literally swearing at the winner over the crowd and had to be muted. 

How pathetic is it that grown adults can’t actually ACT like adults, whether during a game or after.  Randy, when addressing surprise finalist Susie, was particularly nasty.   Then Corrine came up to address the 3 and really showed her true side, which she proudly touted during the live finale.  This is me, people – get over it.

Perhaps she’s trying to rival Johnny Idiot Rotten for nasty – but at least TRY to pretend that you’re not that way… ugh. 

I’m glad that Bob Crowley was voted the Ultimate Survivor.  He really kicked ass, despite his 57 years.

Biography

Robert “Bob” Crowley (58)
Hometown: Portland, Maine
Occupation: Physics Teacher
Robert Crowley considers himself a hybrid of Indiana Jones and Robinson Crusoe. He loves the outdoors and is always ready for his next adventure.
Robert is a high school physics teacher in Gorham, Maine and holds both Associate and Bachelor degrees in forestry from the University of Maine – Orono and a Masters of Education degree from the University of Southern Maine. However, after the school bell rings, Robert becomes an entrepreneur. His wide range of jobs span from being a first mate on a research boat for the Smithsonian Institution in Canada to an entomologist for the USDA, to a skunk relocater, as well as President, Vice President and Chief Negotiator for his local Teacher’s Union.
When not on an adventure, Robert interests include journal writing, story telling, photography, bone collecting, archeology and camping.
This tree climbing scientist, who describes himself as honest, adventurous, resourceful and witty, built his truly "green" summer cabin back when green was only referred to as the color. His "green" cabin was completely built with recycled material and requires a fraction of the energy of the average U.S. home. He’s built numerous structures from recycled material including wharfs, saunas, a chicken house and a hunting cabin.
Robert strategy is to be a provider and to fly under the radar on SURVIVOR. He’s out to prove that nice guys can make it to the end of the game.
Robert and his wife Peggy reside in Portland, Maine. They have two sons, David and John, one daughter, Page, and a high maintenance cat named William. Robert’s birth date is February 25, 1951.

While he wasn’t necessarily the “nice” guy he’d hoped to be, he certainly kicked those rotten people’s Asses.

– but also that Susie got 3 of the 7 votes.  How empowering that must be for her AND her family.   At 47 years of age, she took a time out to go on Survivor, and to make it to the final 3 – really, the final TWO – how awesome is that!? 

So congratulations to the winner – Bob – and Susie, the 2nd place winner.  Sugar, the 3rd place, received no votes, and obviously didn’t expect any.  Still, to survive 39 days “alone” after so recently losing her dad – Excellent!

They’re off to Brazil next year.  Maybe a headhunter will swoop down and grab Corrine.

As long as you’re there Jeffy, I’ll be watching.
