What I loved about the finale of the season is it really is I think a good debate.

I would have had a hard time deciding, myself.

A lot of people who watched the finale were really mad about the result.

What happened last night?

We knew going in that even just having this twist was going to be controversial.

The funny thing is, he made his way back into the game through Edge of Extinction.

Then gets taken out by someone who was at the Edge of Extinction.

So it does kind of come full circle.

But the debate is healthy.

Thats what I loved about that final Tribal.

That was actually one of my favorite Tribal Councils because there was a healthy debate.

The games not on trial.The three ofyouare on trial.

Gavin was in a hard spot.

But he did so many things in those few days.

Plus, taking out Rick in the fire-making: What a huge decision.

So I think it is a healthy debate.

A quick procedural question.

Chris does what Don didnt do.

Is that an accurate read on the situation?Yes, 100%.

Julie doesnt suddenly get all the power and decide everything.

Your favorite contestant from theEdge of Extinctionseason: Who was it?Well, thats easy for me.

I mean, from the very beginning, I loved Rick Devens.

We had a good rapport during casting.

It was always Ron Burgundy, and I was like, Youve got this name, Rick Devens.

And it turned out that thats what ended up happening.

He was already calling himself Rick Devens, which I always thought was funny.

I was like, Hes funny, hes interesting.

But hes not playing super aggressively.

And I was like, Oh, thats a bummer.

And then he went out so early.

I was like, Oh, you know, and that happens.

Sometimes one of your favorite players goes out early.

But this was one of those unique situations where you have an opportunity.

I was thrilled that he won his way back in.

And then when he went back in, he had such an up and down experience.

He and David on opposite sides of everything was so fun to watch.

And he just started playing more and more aggressively, and a little bit with like nothing to lose.

And thats the kind of player I like watching.
