What a season, gang. Sort of. The pre-merge stands as one of the best ever, and the post-merge stands as…one of the most predictable ever, from the outside. Players suddenly had an aversion to improving their lots, it seemed, by doing anything at all besides writing. However, there were still a few players who played some strong post-merge games. Let’s see which of these folks was considered to be one of them.
We’re here! I’m fielding questions and moves from Survivor XVI players, though, so let’s dispense with the long opening and save it all for the winner announcement tomorrow night.
Erik and Pepper, here you go. Answer these and add anything else you want in a plea not to exceed 1000 words. There will be no word limit on responses to questions, as I trust you both know the line between explanation and logorrhea. Fun Fact: Chrome is not smart enough to know the word “logorrhea.” Maybe that’s an intentional thing on their part to eradicate it. OOOOHHHH, META
Should I get to the questions? I should get to the questions.
For Erik
When you started this game, who were your final 5, 4, 3 and 2? Is that how the game turned out? If not, what happened along the way to change your plans?
What would you consider to be your pivotal strategic move this season that got you to the finals?
Given her immunity run, do you regret not eliminating Christina with five players left? Why do you think you deserve to win more than Christina?
Were you loyal to Christina throughout the game, or did you consider (and/or act on) getting rid of her at any point?
What do you consider to be your greatest moment as far as your writing goes?

There you go. Have at it, finalists. I want these by tomorrow night by…really late because I’ll be at a Diamondbacks game unless you ask for more.
It’s time for the final vote of the season, folks. Uh, the final vote that doesn’t involve the jury. Except for the fact that the votee becomes a juror. You know what? You know what’s f*&^ing going on, so stop expecting me to hold your hands through this. Let’s get to it.
Alright, Survivors. We laughed, we cried…well, did we cry? Maybe once or twice. It’s tough to get there. Let’s move on. We did our yearly Brooks-inspired finale, and as was true all season long, the concepts worked. Each story could have used punching up (all in different ways) but each was satisfying in various ways as well. Though this won’t go down as the best final ever – season VIII has that distinction – it was a fun ride and a fair ending to a shockingly well-attended season (though Leif’s nonsub, as we know now, had far-reaching implications).
Let’s do this, Survivors. Game faces.

Alright, gang, I got here a bit earlier than I thought I would. You’re welcome!
There was some good fun to be had with this one. Time to see which plan won out.
Vote One: Annette Barron. “Annette the Barron Krauss von Espy”
Vote Two: Erik S.

Oooohhh. Good job here, ladies and gents. For as much as some of you loathed this challenge – and I can’t begrudge you, because I thought it sounded tough even as I pitched it – you all soared to some degree in this one. The ideas were great and the structure was fantastic. I suppose that could be a byproduct of the lack of the word limit? Well, whatever it was, y’all made us proud this time around, and have made it an exciting final four.

Alright, Survivors. It’s time to break the trend of someone getting one vote while someone else gets all the others. Did you have surprises in you, or at the very least, intrigue? I sure as hell hope so, because as usual, I’m cranky after a travel day.
Vote One: Jack Haas.
Vote Two: Jack Haas. “I got nothin here…”
Vote Three: Christina Pepper. “Got to try something.”
Vote Four: Christina Pepper. “*Sigh* Pepper; but I am going to require therapy after this game.”
Here we are, kiddos, with your third to last story. Depravity and darkness abound this week, in a season that really hasn’t been that dark. I have to dispense with further commentary, as I leave for Minnesota early tomorrow and have loads of packing to do.

Well, Survivors, have you had your fill of unanimous votes? I guess it’s time to find out. It’s such a strange thing to see at the end of a Survivor game, frankly, though I suppose everything will become clear to the victims once the game is over and players explain themselves.
At any rate, let’s see who’s surprised to be out tonight.
Vote One: Annette Barron. “Purely self-defense.”
Vote Two: Margaret Martin. “My vote is for Margaret; much as it pains me.”
