Now that Survivor: Fans vs. Favorites is over, I can get started with my favorite semiannual tradition: ranking the seasons. It’s a task that seems to get more difficult every year. So many special moments, so many blindsides, so many colorful characters. How to prioritize them all? I can try to explain my thinking, but …

We’ve seen a lot of crazy, deranged, unhinged, emotional, and flat-out bizarre moments at the final Survivor jury, but never one like this. Scratch that: never two like these.

As if anyone who’s been following this suddenly awesome season would overlook this, but tonight marks the season finale of Survivor: Fans vs. Favorites. That’s right: the end is here.

For a season that started off on the dull side, things have been out of control the past few weeks. Last night definitely marked the dumbest move ever, ever, EVER on the show’s sixteen season history. To see what happened, watch the clip above…
• Susan Sarandon’s skin looks nice. • Hey, there’s the paralyzed guy from Friday Night Lights. • This is sort of weird. • I like that random hand-drawn sequence. • I never watched the original series; so nostalgia is not making this more enjoyable. • The animé fans are going to be so annoying about …
