SEASON #7 - PEARL ISLANDS, PANAMA CENTRAL AMERICA, - SANDRA

This is a great season & had a theme to the season.  All players were good whether you liked them  even Johnny Fairplay. I still love this season.  There are few players that do not play the game until the last minute.

PLAYERS (16)
1.  CHRISTA - Computer Programmer.  from CA. She wasn't  very bright in playing . Team up with Sandra.  Was scare to say anything.  Doesn't have the skill to play strategic.

3.  SHAWN - Advert. Sales. from NYC, NY.

5.  JON - Art Consultant from Danville, VA. He was very good strategist but good liar.  He didn't care who feelings he hurt.
6.  RUPERT - Trouble Teens Monitor. from Ind.  He was lovable, bury  but has no GAME PLAN.  He thought by feeding the tribes he would be save but that not a good plan when other could fish, too.
7.  SANDRA -  Office Mgr., from Fort Lewis, Washington.  THE WINNER.  She would go on to become the first 2x Winner.  She not afraid to voice her opinion.

                                                FINAL TWO
                                    Sandra vs. Lillian

                                                     SUMMARY
1.  DRAKE was very good thank to Sandra speaking the language at the town getting supplies.
2.  Shawn lost the spear head - they didn't know to fish.
3.  NEW TWIST:  the first 7 vote off got a chance to come back into the game - Lil & Burton.
4.  Lil thought her tribe was lazy 'cause didn't get up with the sun.  She could had waited for them.
5.   MORGAN kept getting flooded out.
6.  Why did Osten go after the puzzle hidden in the water instead of the one on the beach since he can't swim.

7.  Rupert pet snake died.
8.  Andrew befriended a pelican named Pelican Pete.
9.  THE GREAT LIE:  Jon's grandmother died.
10.  Osten's torch IS NOT part of the final tribute which in future seasons those that quit are.
11. Lil wore the individual idol during the final questions by juries which it should had been take  away.
12.  The final tribute finally the castaways (we can hear) spoke how the felt, which I liked to hear.
13.  At the reunion Burton said they were NOT allowed to mingle with other or form couples then how does next season Rob & Amber get away with it. 
14.  Lil CRIES a lot.
15. Rupert needs to know how play instead of fishing all the time.  He has no strategist.
16.  Christa lets people influenced her.  She couldn't think her mind.  She was scare to voice her opinion.
                                    4-10-2014  UPDATE SUMMARY
17.  I still do not understand how Lil doesn't know why she is voted off her tribe - she supposed to be a troop leader & as troop leader you are supposed to be a great leader or part of a group & Lil act liked she is not part of the group.
18.  Rupert still doesn't work well with his alliance.
                                 7-10-2014  UPDATE SUMMARY
19.  During the Reunion Show Jeff's comment on Lil wearing her scout uniform was unfair judging by her tribe mates - I disagree with him.  She choose to wear the uniform  so that met how she was going to play the game.

MY FAVOR PLAYERS:
Rupert
Christa
Sandra

NOT MY FAVOR PLAYERS:
Jon
Lillian - she cries all the time.  It made sick,

FUTURE:
1.  Sandra will play again in future season.

                                                   STRATEGIST PLAYER SO FAR
1.  Brian from Thailand so far is the better player.  He never told his teammates a lie just enough information to let them feel he is telling the truth.
2.  Sandra comes close - no one pay her attention to vote her off.
