Congratulations Todd Herzog!  As the reunion show starts, Jeff informs us
that Todd has been watching "Survivor" from the very beginning and at the
age of 14 has been waiting for his shot at playing.  Todd credits his win by
his strategy.  He knew he needed to have an alliance with one person he could
trust to the end, which was Amanda.  He selected Courtney as an ally mainly
because she was smaller and weaker than himself and James because he
was the strongest.   Jeff asks Jean Robert about his vote for Todd despite his
vow and JR replied it was based on Todd's answer to his question.  Todd
then admits that he lied to JR at Tribal Council.  LOL!  Todd merely stroked
JR's ego by calling him the most serious threat.  Hahaha! 

While I am not certain, my guess is the voting went down as follows:  Erik
for Amanda, Denise and probably Frosti for Courtney, with the rest voting
for Todd.  My only uncertainty is Frosti and Peih Gee's vote.  PG did seem
favorable to Courtney during the last Tribal Council and it might be possible
that Frosti liked Todd's answer to his question enough to vote for him.  Had
Denise switched sides and joined PG and Erik in booting Todd, Jeff asks
who would be the winner?  PG got the most votes.  Denise admits she con-
sidered switching sides but hoped to win the last Immunity Challenge herself
and win it all.  Denise would've switched had PG agreed to boot Courtney
instead of Todd. 

James explained that he did not feel he needed to use his two immunity idols
yet at that time.  He trusted his allies.  Amanda continues to agonize over her
betrayal of James.  Courtney is very proud of herself for making it all the way.
Jean Robert says he's now playing his best poker ever.  Jamie and Erik are
indeed a couple and Erik is still a virgin!

Denise had the worst post-game news.  She is no longer a lunch lady at the
school she worked at.  They administrators thought her presence was too
disruptive.  So she's now working nights as a janitor there.  After a commer-
cial break, Jeff announced that upon hearing of Denise's woes, Mark Burnett
has decided to personally give her $50,000.  WOOHOO!

James won the Sprint Most Popular Player contest and won himself $100,000!
WOOHOO!  The others chimed in with their post-game experiences but
none were all that interesting. 

Finally, Jeff gave us a sneak peak at Season 16.  "Survivor: Micronesia"
will pit eight 'super-fans' versus eight past players in a Fans VS Favorites
smackdown! 

I'm disappointed that Amanda did not win but Todd did play The Game well.
So that's it for now folks.  I'll be writing periodically on my Yahoo Blog.  The
link to it is just to the left.  I have been following some of the Reality TV
shows which are on Bravo TV, namely "Project Runway" and "The Real
Housewives of Orange County".  I also have been writing about the biggest
reality game there is, the 2008 Presidential Elections.  In between serving up
some side dishes from "Iron Chef America" and "Top Chef". 

I'll be back here when Season 16 begins.  Until then, have a safe and happy
holidays.  Toodles!
