I liked Ben, Chrissy and Ryan - characters who people could have an opinion about. This season it was so bland they had to fill up half the season with sob stories to try and get the audience interested, that was the reason Donathan got that money on the reunion really. In the future people will be saying Wendell who?? And you could say that for others, Domenick seemed to want to compare himself to Tony, but he had none of his charisma.

Eh, with all the exit interviews and post-show press it sounds like Domenick kinda shot his load early and either didn't have strong relationships with some of the endgamers or he soured them with antics like nearly bullying Donathan to tears during the Sebastian boot TC and egging him on like "since you're such a huge fan of the show I'll let you choose which idol I play tonight," which like, wow, someone being so caught up with making good TV that they end up losing jury votes in the process? This is what modern Survivor has come to.

I think it's interesting (as interesting as something in Ghost Island can be, mind you), that the jury was split evenly, with the first five jurors all voting for Dom to win and the last five and Laurel all voting for Wendell to win. The people who saw most of the game from afar voted for the person who showboated and grandstanded and made BIG MOVES while the people who actually saw most of the game with their own eyes voted for the person whose game was more nuanced with strong social bonds. Can't wait for Survivor 42 where everyone makes the Jury and Jeff finally gets his big moves winners that he so desperately wants!
