The former! She is also annoying.Because she didn't outwit and outplay, or because she is attempting to be younger?

For the finale? Maybe. For the after-show, definitely, they had a chance to shower, put on fresh clothes, and get some make-up. Which they certainly earned!Can't say I am content at the end of each season, but this time I am.
On a side note: DH mentions how neat, clean Sue is, even her hair is fixed. I say hey, it looks like she has makeup (foundation) on. Do you think she was allowed to bring some for the final shows? Then he says LOOK AT RACHEL HER FRECKLES ARE GONE! Did they both have makeup OR did production spruce them up a bit?
Yeah. I was kind of rooting for Sam by the end of it.I think Sam offered a very good argument to win. I was surprised that he only got one vote. Not surprised that Sue got none.
Interesting. And that makes sense. I’m really glad Kyle threw a vote Sam’s way.Regarding Kyle's vote for Sam, that gave Sam second place winnings. I read elsewhere that if Rachel had received all of the votes then Sue would have gotten second place. I don't know if that is the rule based on being picked to sit at FTC vs. earning the spot with fire making, and I don't know if that statement is even correct. By giving Sam the vote, Kyle takes away second place winnings from Sue.
Did Sue get any votes this year? I can't remember. It could come down to who had the most votes against them through the game would be the tie breaker. I think this was the case early on but might have changed too.Regarding Kyle's vote for Sam, that gave Sam second place winnings.

Yeah I thought Sam made a good argument. Being on the correct side of every vote and surviving having the most votes cast on you is pretty impressive. I went into tribal thinking it was a runaway by Rachel but then Sam had me thinking it could have been closer to 50/50.
What made me think he had a chance was the fact that Rachel was basically saved by pure luck not once, but twice. Her idol wasn't searched for and found by herself. She was fed the clue in a random personal item at the auction. Sweet, free idol! And she also got saved by Sol when she found herself on the losing team of a challenge with no members from her previous tribe. He luckily found a random advantage that they only offered the one time, and gave it to Rachel to help him keep numbers against the other previous tribe.
She won a good amount of challenges which usually means you get voted out towards the end but she won a couple of the last few and had an idol for when she lost which definitely helps.
Overall I would have been happy if she or Sam won, and this ending was better than some of the last few. But I still feel like they need to mix it up a bit more or something. If Rachel wasn't saved by those 2 lucky circumstances then we very well could have had 3 ducks at the end again like in some seasons.
I want 2 or 3 challenge beasts at the end. And honestly some of the challenges were embarrassing with everyone just standing around waiting for 1 person to finish because everyone has given up or was way too far behind. Get some competitors in there.
Also, I still want them to change firemaking into something else for the final challenge. Somehow after going the entire season on Survivor, after getting back to camp to practice, it was clear than neither Sam or Teeny had ever picked up the flint before... Really? YOU WERE GOING ON SURVIVOR!

The luck with that time she was saved wasn't "luck" that Sol chose her, but luck that they happened to place an advantage like that at that time and that Sol was the one who found it.I get what you're saying about Rachel, but--she had a good enough relationship with Sol that he wanted to save her. That's not an accident.
I do get where you're coming from, maybe a different player would have but I think Sol seemed to come across as the type of person that wouldn't be like that, he was happy to play just wanted to play his game rather than be talked down to like Rome did to him. Now, had it been Sue or Teeny? Maybe even Genevieve? I think they would have taken it differently.If that had been a clue to a true idol instead, just like Rachels random note was, then Rachel would have gone home, and Sol would have had an idol to play for himself instead. Maybe he would have won, who knows. But she got the benefit of BOTH her lucky find, AND Sol's. And Sol got nothing.
I guess I would just be super salty if I was in Sol's shoes lol
