Survivor: Winners at War finale recap: Dominance is rewarded
seasons, it ultimately comes down to a feeling. You can make pros and cons lists, but, in the end, it all boils down to how a season makes you . And, unfortunately, due to the events surrounding the inappropriate touching — and the way it was handled by both production and the other contestants — the ultimate feeling when it comes to this season is sadness.
And then there was Tony Vlachos. I wrote a few weeks back about how Tony is the most entertaining player in the history of the show because no one else mixes game sense and nonsense more than him. His run this season was dominant. He won four immunity challenges. He found an idol. He got people from two different alliances to help him when he got hit with an Extortion from the Edge. He managed to direct almost every single vote he was a part of, somehow without angering the folks he blindsided.
I won’t go on and on about this again, but will simply state for any newcomers who stumbled across this recap — my apologies, incidentally — that challenges for me are much more dramatic when everyone is competing on a level playing field. As I wrote earlier this season, I don’t want to see a clash of the titans in which half the titans have one arm tied behind their backs.
With Michele now safe and Natalie likely having an idol, Tony came up with the only sensible plan for the next Tribal — to throw two votes on Natalie and two votes on Denise . Good! Easy! Makes sense! Done! I’m sure Sarah doesn’t like that, but the speech had more current practical concerns as well: Getting her votes! She said it herself after Natalie joined Koru and smartly told the tribe that everyone on the Edge considered Tony the best player: “I have to get my story out to the jury and make sure they know that women are just as equal as men,” said thechamp. “And just because a man and woman are working together, that doesn’t mean a man is calling all the shots.
So, in that sense, because Sarah is smart and Sarah is fierce, what happened there was not so surprising. But what happened next was. Because then Jeff Probst entered the fray and, completely unprompted, said this: “Let me own my part. I am certain right now if I were to look back at all the comments I have made over 20 years, I would find the exact same bias in me. Who I call by last names.
“Use that as your résumé,” he told her, his eyes turning red as he welled up. “I’m for it… That way you can’t say you got drug along.… I’m being totally serious. I love you. You have my permission.
We all know Ben has demons. We know this because he is so honest and candid about it. We know Ben has struggled with how his last winning effort was perceived. We know he was very sensitive not to bulldoze over people this time around the way he felt he may have done his last time out.
has no idea what happened so I’m going to do her solid by clueing her in. Let me start by saying this: You all know I’m not a fan of the final four fire-making. It’s a cheat put in to help certain players escape their inevitable fate and actually punishes people for winning the final immunity challenge, which is absurd. There are a million things wrong with it, and I have spent several seasons now outlining them, so I won’t bore you again.
I would have LOVED to have seen them battle it out at final Tribal together, but if this is how we had to watch their story end, it was a hell of an ending nonetheless, and I think that display of raw vulnerability really helped Tony with the jury in that it really humanized him. We all see Tony as this guy with all the crazy antics, zany schemes, and energy drink enthusiasm, but this showed his heart at this moment… I mean, mumment. When he easily could have been celebrating, Tony was mourning.
