Bob's a nice guy, so I would be "okay" with him winning, but I agree that Sugar or Susie would have deserved it more if that's the F3.
It's kind of irrelevant to talk about a tribal swap being a factor in whether someone deserves to win or not because we don't know what might have
happened. For all we know, Fang might have still squeaked on by with Sugar's HI, and Susie switching sides. Imo, Bob would not even be there if it
weren't for Sugar because she's the one who was pushing for Randy to leave, and she's the one who warned Bob that Kenny was going to blindside him,
so she clearly deserves to win MUCH more than he does. He's just kind of been carried around, won a lot of IC's, made great fake idols, and let other
people plan out what to do with them (Sugar and Corrine). He's no Yau Man, for sure, but I guess he's a tolerable winner....

It was mostly Crystal and a little bit of Kenny. Thats all she can be associated with in terms of "strategy". Wt seems wrong with ur statement is that u seem to be putting sugar and susie on the same boat. Sugar>>>Susie! |

One move, in my opinion, doesn't make you deserving of the win. I do give her credit for making the final 3. I mean, when she was trying to make the deal with Marcus, I thought there was no way she was getting there. At least once Charlie left, Bob tried to make moves. If Susie was in that position, I imagine all she would do is offer up a vote. Valid (worked for Sandra), but not exactly the move of a strategic genius. As for Bob not having an underdog edit, there's really no way they could've given him one. Prior to the last swap, he was on the tribe that was in control. They could have shown a little more strategy (though, I remember a lot of people saying in interviews that he basically napped through strategy sessions), but it's hard to paint an underdog when he's on the more dominant tribe and part of the dominant alliance on that tribe (though, he was seen as expendable later on). |

I would be much more satisfied if they gave Bob a much balanced edit throughout the season rather than shoving all this "im 57 and I can do all of
this" down our throats at the last minute. I think that is what separates the Sucks community from the general viewing public. We appreciate a lot more
character development, strategy, etc. rather than someone simply being nice and good.
I'm hoping that all of this spec of a Bob win is wrong. Of the Final 5, he is the last I would think of when someone brings up Gabon a few years later... and yes, the editing could be to blame. |

Ok guys, we are like an hour b4 showtime, so here is my final prediction:
There will be a tie! This may be why Probst has been promising a "wild" finish. Also remember before the season began, Charlie Parsons (or some producer) said in an article that Survivor Gabon will go down in the history books for something? Who I want to win: Sugar Who will win: Ken/Bob |

Bob winning would be like Danni winning. Makes for a great potential story but the script completely sucked.
Kind reminds me of the Star Wars prequels. You almost have to imagine a story and lines that weren't there and pretty much forget the ones that were. |

A tie is an interesting call - 3-3-1. Then we'll get to see what happens - eliminating the lowest vote total and re-voting with the jury would make the
most sense.
However there is four onions on the jury - hey are probably voting as a block so they can control the winner and bitch out the eventual losers without having to see them win. Would Randy vote Susie because Bob played a part in embarassing him?

They could have highlighted the fact that the onions moved Randy ahead of Bob in their alliance, and shown the odds were that he wasn't going to make the
end once the Onions started getting voted out, or at least something more then what they have. This is my main complaint about Bob's edit. They should have
focused a lot more on Bob then they ever did on Marcus.

I completely agree. Something does not sit right with a Bob win. Seems he would be the redemption of Yau-Man, Roger (S2), Pascal, Rudy, and Jake all rolled
into one. The nice older guy. Plus, Bob was smart enough to show a lot more than they did.
Seems Bob could have been portrayed as the super guy a lot more. Still, the past few episodes were big for him and he had a decent first episode, but still. |

I was fooled by it myself which is why I changed my vote in the Boot Tally forum, I think we're all starting to fall for the rise of Bob and doubt of
Kenny.
Bob could have been a much more wonderful, complex character and I agree with JediJake - something just doesn't sit right with him winning, nothing whatsoever. |

Ah, ya gotta love the CBS Sunday night 8pm slot. NEVER starts on time. So was the problem with Amazing Race with this time slot.
I may not be learning who was voted off first, but I am learning from 60 Minutes, is that I am damn lucky to have a Canadian financial system taking care of my investments and loans. Whooooeeeee. I still say the main reason that I don't see the Bob win is because the SurvivorPhoenix clues do not seem to be connected to him in any way. BUT.. I will await VG's explanation post show, with bated breath. (and will probably feel stupid for not seeing the obvious) The only thing that seems to feel right about his win, is that they showed him alone on the mountain(hill) top talking about his life and the game. |

Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but doesn't the picture with Sugar "sliding through" seem to indicate a possible Sugar win.

I don't know why CBS doesn't just shorten 60 minutes when football runs long. The story about this coach could have been shown next Sunday.

The clues are set up to mean multiple things. Thats the whole point. You are wasting your time trying to figure it out. Whoever wins tonight will be the
subject or answer to the clues.

susie did nothing in the game-does not deserve to win-the marcus move was the plan of kenny and crystal.
ken-he deserves to win-made moves that helped him in the game. sugar-another one that deserves to win-cause of the idol/and some moves. bob-yeh bad edit-came on strong afterwards-but i would not mind if he wins/ guy survived out there...lol matty-no moves at all-saved by sugar-doubt it he wins cause of kota majority jury-i doubt it sugar or ken will win-which they deserve.... |
