SPOILER ALERT: Read on only if you have already watched the season finale ofSurvivor: Edge of Extinction.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY For the first time ever, someone voted out ofSurvivorjust won the game in Chris Underwood.
Lets put you on the jury for a moment.
CBS
Its impossible for me to gauge their individual games because I didnt play alongside them.
But I absolutely see the merit in voting for Chris as a winner.
He pulled off something very difficult.
A true go-for-broke move.
The majority of jurors said they were undecided halfway through.
Chris made a strong case for himself with how he presented his story.
He is well spoken and did not back down.
In fact, he came on strong.
If you wanted to beat him you were going to have to take him down.
I think the lesson for Gavin is you have to have a stronger point of view.
He obviously did a lot of things right and got votes for the win.
But to seal the deal you have to be persuasive and passionate.
Julie was much more passionate, and fought for her case.
She just had a bigger challenge in terms of herSurvivorresume.
But I have to acknowledge that Julie accomplished her goals.
Thirty-nine days in that game is a lifetime.
She proved a lot to herself and should be really proud.
The winds started kicking in that morning.
It was the very end of back-to-back seasons, so everybody was stretched thin.
We were prepared for rain, but we never anticipated wind coming in at that pace.
We could not have done the fire challenge on the main floor of Tribal Council.
It never would have finished.
So, that morning we hustled over to Tribal and started exploring options.
That was the only spot we could find that was protected from all sides.
Too many people read your column… and some of them will be future players.
We loved him the minute he walked in the room.
In fact, I remember very clearly saying, You could win.
