Did they say why the change? Fewer episodes? I found this online: The Writers Guild went on strike last week, and scripted productions are shutting down or being delayed. By expanding both Amazing Race and Survivor by a half hour each, CBS effectively loses one hour on it schedule that it would normally need to fill with a scripted drama. That makes sense.

They sure tried to make us feel that Carolyn was going home! So glad it was Jamie instead. Funny how everyone thinks that Carson and Carolyn are the most dangerous. Jam Jam is up there too.

I would like to see the trio make it to the end. Jam Jam, Carson and Carolyn. Let the jury decide.

The way Jam Jam was talking, maybe it sounded to her like he was going to vote against her. We certainly were led to believe that. So the looks could be that she thought she was going home.

I would have NEVER in a million years would have guessed Carolyn would make it this far. In fact, I thought she was going to be out the first show. I hope she makes it!!

I'm glad Carolyn wasn't voted out! And I agree with a previous poster who said that Yam Yam is the biggest threat to win right now. I'm sure it was edited out, but why do we think Heidi played her idol? When she got up to play it I thought maybe she was going to do so for Carolyn. It didn't seem like anyone was planning to vote Heidi and I didn't catch anything in the TC conversation that they showed that made it seem like anyone was targeting her.

I sometimes think people get spooked at tribal by reading things into what other people are saying. But, she wasted her idol.

Wow, what a finale! Until Jeff read the votes I didn't know who would win.
When Heidi won the final immunity challenge and challenged Carson to make fire against her, I knew she would beat him. And when she made it faster than anyone else ever did, I thought sure the jury would vote for her to win.
One thing she did that might have swayed the jury was breaking into Carolyn's answer on one of the questions. That was just plain rude.
I'm happy that Yam Yam won. I would have been happy with Carolyn too. I'm surprised Heidi didn't get more votes.

I really wanted Carson to make it to the end. I loved when he mentioned his work with NASA and the reaction from everyone.
I don’t think there has been a fan favorite since they started reading the votes while still on the island because the season hasn’t aired to even have fans yet!!
It will be interesting to see how it goes next year with hour and a half episodes.

I was happy with Yam Yam winning but wanted Carson. I’m happy Carolyn got so far. At first, she was a lot, but she has a kind, genuine heart and I think people saw her like that near the end. She played well too better than Heidi who basically was non existent until the end…which could’ve been her strategy.
I knew Heidi would win the fire and her skills were amazing! She kind of was in a lose lose situation I think with having to go against Yam Yam, a tribe favorite.
I do like how all the tribe members felt like they are got all and no one was nasty. Neat to see!
Gotta watch the reunion show today, I was too tired to watch it lol.

I forgot to mention when Yam Yam showed Carson how to make fire. That made me like him a lot more. Very selfless on his part. Although I wanted Carson to win, I'm happy that Yam Yam won.

I wanted Carson to win. Heidi winning the last challenge was the game changer, and then her winning fire. Just crazy. I was surprised Carolyn didn't get any votes. I was happy Yam won.

I wish it had been the Tika 3 in the finale. They had basically run the game since the merge. Sorry that Carolyn did not get votes. Unfortunately, her lack of communication skills and self confidence prevented her from selling herself to the jury. YamYam described his ability to read people. Carolyn needed to describe her ability to sense something was "off" and then not only act on that but get the others to go along with her. I was really hoping that Heidi didn't run away with it when YamYam and Carolyn kept complimenting one another instead of claiming their individual wins.
I quit watching after the winner was declared. Do they still have a fan choice award?

No getting to see all the other players, not getting to see everyone all dressed up and not allowing the families to share in the experience.

Yam-Yam was my least favorite choice. I hated that Carson had to make fire as that doomed him. He was my first choice.. I was surprised that Carolyn didn't get one vote. I would have been happier if she or Heidi would have won.

I would have been happier if she or Heidi would have won. I agree. Yam Yam was my least favorite of the top 5 players. I am disappointed he won. I thought Carson was most deserving. Since he didn't make it to vote I thought Carolyn would/should have won.

Heidi was my least favorite at the end. Hell she wasn't even on my radar most of the time. But she sounded like she won the game during the Q&A. I was hoping for Carolyn and shocked not a single vote. Yam Yam was okay and played good, but I wanted Carolyn to win especially since I didn't think she wasn't going to make it through the first show.. lol

I couldn’t watch the whole show on Wednesday so had to avoid this thread till today. Overall, there were a couple memorable players in a pretty lackluster season. 26 days just isn’t long enough. The idol this season were confusing to the audience in terms of knowing which were real and which were fake. I don’t like nastiness, but I do like some drama. I will not be able to tell you much about this season in a year from now.

While I'm not mad Yam Yam won (strategically he was the best of the three), I still wish Carolyn had won (if it couldn't be Carson who I wanted from day one!). I'm glad Heidi didn't win because I think her "strategy" was hide so everyone forgets she's there. The only great play she did was to win the final challenge which is almost as much about the other players losing than her winning and then making fire so quickly. That's not much for an entire season. You could tell that the jury had already written her off.
I also was really bothered that Carolyn did not receive one vote. Frannie seemed to be championing Carolyn during the entire tribal but in the end voted for Yam Yam. The only thing I could think was she loved that Carolyn was an emotional player and then Carolyn admitted that some of the tears were fake to manipulate situations.
I thought Carson might throw one her way as well, but he may have felt like he owed it to Yam Yam for his helping him learn to make fire. Had be against someone else besides Heidi he might have been able to pull it off.
This will definitely not go down as one of the better seasons.

Thanks cadoodlebug for keeping the Survivor posts relevant. I really appreciate it. Survivor is the only program I watch with my husband. We both enjoy reading the different viewpoints from the Peas. 😃😃😃

We both enjoy reading the different viewpoints from the Peas. 😃😃😃 You're very welcome. DH is easy so we watch most shows together. Survivor and Amazing Race are the two that we both watch. I also watch Big Brother and sometimes the Bachelor series. Didn't watch this past season. He watches a lot of sports ~ golf, baseball, basketball, etc. I watch mainly college football. We love British dramas and I realized we hardly ever watch network shows any more. Our favorite, The Resident, wasn't renewed and a new one we liked, The Company You Keep with Milo Ventimiglia, wasn't renewed. Two games shows we watch are The Chase and The Wall.

Not surprised, but very disappointed Yam Yam won. I was 100% on team Carolyn. She made it to the end. She had no business being there. She was on the right side of the votes almost the entire time. Yam Yam was mostly a coattail rider.

Surprised Carolyn received no votes - but if her emotions were what endeared people to her; and then admitting they were not always genuine would have flipped my vote.
