For the entertainment value, I thought last night's show was great.

I thought that Rupert and Shii Ann were the most graceful losers. Rupert was part of the alliance, so he had a lot less to be bitter about. But Shii Ann really could have been bitter, but she chose to honor her other competitors.

I lost a lot of respect for Lex. He screwed over a few people.

Alicia really showed her true colors. All of those snide looks.

Big Tom....yawn. What a loser

Jenna.....I didn't like her throughout the game, but her endgame deserves some respect.

and now....Rob and Amber, they played a flawless game. IMO they both deserved to win. With the poker game analogy, Rob controlled the table from day one. He was put into some dicey situations and was able to read his competitors and adapt to the situations. And on the challenges he was a monster. Amber was great at slow playing her hand. When I play poker and I have a strong hand, I like to check and see if another player is willing to put out a bet so that I can raise into it. I think that is how Amber played the game. She had a really strong hand the whole game, but she never appeared to be the aggressor. She played like she had a weak hand. So I do think that Amber was actively choosing her play. which means I think she did deserve the win just as much as Rob deserved the win.

And how about that marriage proposal timing? A really cynical person would say "he knew he wasn't going to win and he decided to at least get half of the prize"

I actually think that Rob is smitten with Amber. I think that Amber will likely tire of Rob first though.

Jerri.....I bet she wouldn't have had those views if she had won the game. She chose to be on the game twice. Not sure where she gets off on being offended.

Richard, I thought he had class last night.

I will be casting my vote for Shii Ann to win that second million. However, I think that Rupert will win. My wife has vowed to offset my every shii ann vote with a rupert vote..LOL
