I think Terry ended up using the idol in the smartest possible way. It guaranteed him F3. He tried to make deals earlier on, but nobody was budging then.

It was really rather hard to tell, because it was somewhat murky exactly what Terry could do with the immunity idol -- whether he could have given it to someone else or not. But if he could have and had let a tribemate use it after the merge, it might have prevented the Pagonging of his tribe. But who knows.

I only saw bits and pieces last night -- taped the rest. I know how it ended, so the suspense will be gone, but I'll still give it a watch sometime.

And I guess the editors weren't playing tricksies after all by telegraphing that Cirie would lose the fire challenge.

Hypothetically, if Terry had given it to Sally or Austin, and the game played out the same way, Terry may not have made it to the final three. Arras would've had the immunity necklace, and either Danielle and Terry would've still teamed up and voted for Cirie, OR Danielle, Cirie, and Arras could've all voted for Terry and he would've been voted out at Final Four.

I was so pleased to see that Shane said that Terry deserved it the most, I agree that the immunity challenge was slightly giving an edge to Danielle (and I really don't see how the reward challenge gave Terry any help for the immunity challenge), and how was last night the "closest vote in Survivor history", unless they're referring to Danielle's "indecisiveness".

I also think that Arras cleaned up well enough to make me do a double take and make sure it wasn't Colby sitting there, and I can't remember: did it ever come out at the camp that Terry won the GMC after the three returned from the reward?

Definitely hard to tell looking back -- there are so many "what ifs." You could be quite right.

Side note- Cook Islands looks beautiful! I wish I was done with undergrad so I could apply and be on it. :P

This was a good season.. I know Danielle felt like a fool when Jeff asked how many would've voted for Terry and come to find out she would have lost either way.. but I'm glad **** won.

Can someone explain to me why this message board replaces the name of the winner of Survivor: Panama with ****, but posters can complete the sentence "You wouldn't call your country . . . . " without the last word being replaced by ****?
