Halftime...

Survivor Finale:

1) If Tiny votes for Sam after all Rachel tried to do for her in the fire challenge, not cool.*
2) Sue! I think she was honestly loyal to others, and though she did not have the best competitive game at 58 (not 59 years old), I hope she gets some votes...

3) Rachel for the win!  Most competent and deserving, but that does not always equal most popular... 

PREDICTION: I do think Rachel will win it, she seems to have a loyal, smart and respectable group of men backing her in the jury, if the women split their votes... 

--------
* (This pro-masc political year though, I'd cover my bet by putting a small wager on Sam -- the male long(er) shot...  We'll see if Rachel can make her case to the jury, I guess. And if she loses, be left guessing if it was a pro-guy kinda vote.)

** I think Tiny's vote will go to the winner... Hope she votes brain more than heart.

ADDED:  I was just going to type that Sam seems to (breaking stereotypes) the most verbal of the group, but then... Sue started talking.  again... 59!  Damn impressive, physically as well as w/Solid values. (yes, it IS better if you can win by not having to lie, cheat or sneak... even if that's the way oOthers think they have to play the(ir) game...

To be honest, I don't like this part of the game as much as the "challenges".  Too much talking now...
