survivor gabon FINALE!

The time has finally come tonight for the Survivor Gabon finale!  A feature-length, three hour grand finale to the show that's comprised our Thursday night television excitement!  The weeks leading up to the finale have been suspenseful, and oddly, Bret and I have been getting more and more into the show, pulling for our favorite castaways.  After a previous post about Survivor, one of my friends commented on the show; when I realized that it was being watched in the U.S. still (I thought this was an old season), I refused to let her talk to me about it any more.  I thought that her few comments about it would spoil the outcome for me.  It didn't, thank goodness, and I was completely surprised by the ending.
   

Finishing Survivor marks a milestone of sorts here.  It is the first and only show that we have watched the entire season of since moving to NZ.  It was the first Thursday we lived in the flat, and with limited television program selection, Survivor is was.  It became a mainstay of our Thursday nights, kicking off the weekends early, and something to look forward to at the start of the week.  I had never watched a whole season of Survivor before (this was the 17th season!), and probably never will again, but it will always serve as a reminder of our Thursday traditions in Christchurch.
