I finally have a minute to post my thoughts.
YAY NATALIE!!!! When she gave the idol to Jaclyn, I thought I was going to have a heart attack until they got through the vote. That was a SERIOUSLY risky move and it was Natalie's final make-or-break moment. And the way she did it was genius, letting the jury know all credit for that move went to her. Post-merge, Natalie was pretty much strategically flawless and played one of the best strategic games in Survivor history. It was exciting and amazing to watch. Couldn't have been any happier with the result.
Keith's sour grapes and Alec's need for attention were awkward to watch. Can't figure out Alec's ego (or his brother, for that matter). I can't find any redeeming qualities at all. Pure delusion.
Reed's speech annoyed me greatly. If he TRULY felt Missy had any chance in winning (did anyone think Missy could win?), he could have called her out and made the same points in a way that was not so self-serving, nasty and ego-driven. Instead, the Gayvior of the LGBT community just served up a Hungry Man portion of bitchy attention-seeking drama queen pot pie. It was embarrassing in its transparency. He was desperate to have HIS MOMENT by concocting his own buzz-worthy rat/snake speech solely in an effort to humiliate Missy. I'm not a fan of Missy, but for me, his unrelenting nastiness undermined any point he was trying to make. It was malicious and rather un-Christian of a Gayvior. His defense in the reunion was certainly clear, but he still sounded like he was serving attitude and it was obvious that despite the ridiculous content of his statement, it was his premeditated delivery that was intentionally hurtful. What he didn't acknowledge or own was his malice. I didn't think he came off as superior as he intended. I hope he revels in his plot for infamy. He's no Sue and he'll soon be forgotten.
