A few months ago I posted a blogpost concerning Survivor: Gabon and the unfortunate (and very entertaining) wardrobe malfunction that aired on the show (ie. the peek at contestant p33n that was shown in national television) and haven’t blogged about the show since. That’s not to say that I haven’t been watching the show but there hasn’t been a big story to talk about … until now. Last night, Survivor: Gabon aired its finale ep and revealed who the Ultimate Survivor for the 17th season of the series. In an effort to NOT spoil who won the big prize of $1 million and the title of Ultimate Survivor I will keep the announcement behind the cut … but I will reveal who the top three contestants were right here. If you’ve yet to watch any of the show that aired last night, you might want to look away or skip this post until you get to watch.

Here is a pic of the top three Survivor: Gabon finalists at the live prize announcement and reunion special that aired on CBS last night:

That’s right … Susie, Bob and Sugar made it to the very end of the game. After the jury asked questions and voted, the person who was awarded the million dollar prize and the title of Ultimate Survivor is — after the jump …

… by a very narrow vote — Bob Crowley, the lovable and highly skilled high school physics teacher:

Raise your test tubes, science nerds; Bob Crowley is the newest Survivor. The lovable and lanky physics teacher from Portland, Maine, can afford a fancier bowtie — and perhaps a brand new lab — after winning $1 million on Sunday’s finale of Survivor: Gabon. Crowley picked up the seven-figure cheque after pulling in four votes to runnerup Susie Smith’s three (and third place finalist Sugar Kiper’s zero) from a jury of previous castoffs. No shocker here, folks. The earnest quintagenarian was by far the most deserving Survivor on the reality TV competition’s 17th edition. He won five consecutive challenges — the most anyone has ever won in the show’s history — and had the strategic elements of the game down to a, well, science. Even so, the road to wealth was rougher than a rhino’s backside for teach Bob — who won’t have to return to the classroom (but probably will, because that’s the kinda guy he is). Last night’s two-hour finale was chock-full of eliminations, as the final five were quickly rounded down to one. It was game over first for 22-year-old mastermind Ken Hoang, a professional video gamer who was shockingly blindsided by fellow castaways Bob, Sugar, Matty Whitmore and Susie Smith at the first tribal council meeting of the night. Bob fell through on his promise to give little Kenny his immunity necklace two councils in a row — and he sure could have used it that second time. Then went Matty, a 29-year-old personal trainer who had all the muscles any Survivor could need — but couldn’t start a fire to save his life. After he and Bob each received two votes at the second council meeting, host Jeff Probst announced the tie-breaker game would be a repeat of a challenge a few weeks ago where the castaways had to ignite a blaze that would burn through a rope. Outdoorsy Bob aced the challenge, leaving poor Matty out in the cold … If it’s any consolation, Matty got a say in who did get the prize as part of the jury — also including fellow castoffs Ken, Marcus Lehman, Charlie Herschel, Randy Bailey, Corinne Kaplan and Crystal Cox. Survivor’s 17th grill session wasn’t without a few punches: Kenny confronted Bob about the immunity necklace lies; Corinne asked Susie if she would agree to have her vocal chords removed if she won the million — before throwing a low-blow to Sugar by mentioning her dead father; and Randy unleashed his jerky ‘tude to give Sugar and Bob heck for laughing at him when he was voted out after attempting to use a fake idol they gave him. While the rant session took place in Gabon, Probst carried that rustic ballot box all the way to Hollywood so the winner could be revealed before a live studio audience — and with the final three fully shaved, clothed and made up to look like re-civilized human beings. Too bad we only saw them looking this way for, like, five minutes at the tail end of the show.

Man, I gotta say … I thoroughly enjoyed this season of Survivor. I have been quietly watching the show religiously for the past 10 seasons or so it’s safe to say I’m a fan. I was very surprised that Susie made it this far in the game … people carried her along because she was not a threat in any fashion and she ended up winning just the right immunity rewards at the right time. The game is funny that way. I honestly thought that Sugar played a great game. For much of the season I, too, discounted her as a dumb blonde who wouldn’t last long … she ended up playing the most strategic game out of all the contestants — she was smarter than the smartest folks on the island (save for Bob) that that pissed them all off … especially Corinne. Bob, tho, really deserved the prize … and our love. I was shocked that he almost lost the prize to Susie … by only one vote! That would’ve been a shocker to end all shockers.

The other contestants, I have to say, were pitiful players. Kenny ended up bitter and pissed that he was outplayed, Corinne turned into a very jealous loser and, I think, embarrassed herself by questioning Sugar‘s feelings for her dead father and Randy, well, I genuinely believe him to be a sad, pathetic person … period. His always bitter attitude and the way he spoke to people really showed his true colors. Sugar should’ve won an award for being the person to really stick it to that a-hole who treated everyone like dirt and then was lookin’ for sympathy when he was made a fool of on live TV (in regards to the fake immunity necklace that he got conned into using, thereby allowing him to get kicked off the island). Okay, I’m rambling … but I will confess that I actually teared up when Bob won. At 57, he is the oldest winner of Survivor and he won it all by using his brains over his fairly nonexistent brawn. He truly deserved the prize and I am thrilled that he won. Bob also went home with the $100,000 Fan Favorite prize as well. All the $$$ and accolades couldn’t have gone to a nicer Survivor. Congrats … and thanks for a great season!!
