If they do end up going back to the final two for good(which I pray they do) then it will be worth one horrible winner. I just wish that the horrible winner could have been in a season that sucked already, like Fiji, whereas this one really had potential to be in the top three or so. I know Jiffy/EPMB have said they loved the final three before, but I think we can all agree to always take what they say with a large grain of salt.

The Final 3 was initiated after 4 consecutive seasons of blow out jury votes (Vanuatu, Palau, Guatamala and Panama). When I watched those, there was little suspense as I knew who won before Jeff read the votes. Also since the Final 3 was initiated, in each case the best player (IMO) won (Yul, Earl Todd). The big picture is that Survivor is a mature show which is getting near its expiration date. Jeff Probst confirmed that production was so discouraged with Survivor Fiji, that when they were filming Survivor Micronesia everyone associated with the show had decided that Survivor was finished after 16 seasons. It was only after the positive response toward Survivor China that production made the decision to continue. If Survivor Fiji would have had a Final 2 of Dreamz/Cassandra which could have turned off viewers, diminished the ratings for Survivor China and killed off the show. The Brian/Clay Final 2 is one reason why some people don't like Survivor Thailand. Ratings have gone down enough that having a few crappy winners in a row could end Survivor.
