Survivor Nicaragua Finale

On day 37 Fabio has an epiphany, he has to get his game on or else he is going home after finding out that Chase, Sash and Holly have a three way alliance at tribal where they vote out Jane of the jungle. Sorry to see Jane go. She should have tried to win her way with a Fabio and Dan alliance because is Fabio really that smart? He's either really smart or is just dumb lucky, I'm thinking the latter. Fabio wins the immunity again. I thought for sure he would trip up with the questions about Nicaragua and he did, but Holly and Chase choked on the puzzle. Really, then you both need to be sent home. At tribal I knew they would be sending Dan home who as it turns out was disgruntled angry survivor. He spew his wrath on Chase and Holly, who knew he was harboring hostility? He barely spoke this entire season.
Chase, Holly and Sash have to win the next immunity challenge if they plan to keep their alliance strong, but balancing coins on a sword is none of their strong points. Holly is the first one out and with that, I'm like you deserve to go because if you can't even try to hold on then go. I thought for sure Fabio was going to fail the way his coins were stacked like the leaning tower of Pisa, but he managed to hang on beating everyone again and with that Fabio made his way to become the youngest person ever to win survivor at 21.
I didn't think Chase had a chance up against Sash and Fabio because everyone seemed to think Chase is a dumb as wood or at least Marty thinks he is as he asks his rhetorical question to Chase "Name the person who you think is as dumb as a sack of screws". At first I wasn't getting it, but then it appeared he was saying that Chase is as dumb as a sack of screws. Wow that's not nice. And whose smarter now? Chase is in the final three, so there! I admit that Chase was so wishy washy during the whole game, but I certainly don't think he has some screws loose.
I love the finale, everyone looks so different when they get to eat and get glammed up for the TV. Fabio was unrecognizable, but still the same ditzy self. Sash definitely looked better with some meat on his bones and Jane looked rested and not so hound doggish. Glad Jane won the 100,000 she deserved it. And when Jeff asked her what she makes yearly, I was surprised when she said $50,000, really? I thought for sure she was going to say something like 20,000 you know, hillbilly poverty level?
Well, congrats to Fabio or Jud whatever your name is. Keep it real and don't blow it on some ideological hair brained scheme, which he probably will. I just love Survivor, sigh! And oh, Jimmy Johnson, he still has charm!-Single D
