It's finally over...

I doubt anyone is still reading this blog (since there's not much to read), but just for the sake of completeness, here are my finale picks.

Final five boot: Boo

Final four boot: Yau Man (Dreamz wins immunity and breaks his word)

Final three who face the jury: Cassanda, Dreamz, Earl

Rocky votes: Earl
Lisi votes: Earl
Michelle votes: Earl
Edgardo votes: Earl
Mookie votes: Earl
Alex votes: Earl
Stacy votes: Earl
Boo votes: Earl
Yau Man votes: Earl

Earl wins in a unanimous vote.

The editing pointed to an Earl win as far back as episode one when he was shown standing on top of the mountain and calling himself King of Fiji. There have been many other shots of him high above everyone else. If anyone else wins, it'll be shocking.

Edited to add:

This is what I wrote after the first episode in my confessional analysis:

Now let's talk about Earl. You didn't think I was going to forget him, didya? Earl got two amazing confessionals in this episode, either one of which would have me pointing to him as someone who was going to last a long time. Put together and I have to wonder if he wins this thing. His first confessional came near the beginning of the episode. He talked about how the island was their home and you want to check all of it out. It was interspersed with a scene of him on top of the island, smiling, and at one point he says "I'm the King of Fiji... of an unnamed island." Sounds like someone who could win this thing, right? Except it was followed by Dreamz saying "I'm standing the highest" and a shot of the kid standing a rock above Earl (and Rita and Anthony). So is this our endgame? Dreamz vs. Earl?

And now...

It's time for Stacy to go home...

I pick...

Alex to get the boot.There appears to be some disagreement this week, but Alex is most likely choice as he's alone and friendless.

I think I'll pick...

...Mookie to go home this week. It should be Alex or the Mookster and I think Alex will pull off something to keep himself alive another week.

I'm picking...

...Edgardo to get the boot.

Sounds like it'll be a cool episode. Too bad I foolishly read the spoiler ahead of time.

This week's pick

It appears Michelle gets Shii Anned this week.

This week's pick

Lisi goes home.

Shocking.

However, it appears there's some doubt about who gets booted next week. So that might be interesting. Maybe.

This week's pick

I pick James to get the boot.

Mostly just so that I keep pace with everyone else. The finale will be the showdown, I guess, since the winner is the only thing that's not spoiled.

Um, let's see....

I pick... oh gosh, I don't know... hmmm... maybe... Anthony?

Okay, sure. Anthony. You talked me into it.

Well, so much for that...

Wow. I knew there were spoilers floating around but I didn't realize the entire bootlist is out there.

I've seen it so I guess I'm done here for this season. No point in analyzing confessionals to guess who gets booted when we know who's going to get booted.

What's a real shame about it is that it seems like it will be a good season for those who haven't been spoiled. I like the people who make it to the end.
I think the only way for me to completely avoid the spoilers is to delete the bookmarks of the Survivor sites I've been visiting for the last few years.

Most of the people who used to obssess about Survivor with me gave up on the show a while ago. I don't know why I've kept hanging on. I think I'm nearing that end point myself.

Um, this week I pick Rita. It's a shock, I know.
