Okay, so there was no “blank” vote, but I was correct in figuring the last 3, then 2, then Tom as the $1,000,000 winner!
Now on to how we ended up watching the finale..
We got home last night after 9:30PM. We had DVD-R’ed the finale 2-hour special (as advertised all week long on CBS) from 7-9.
At about 10 till 10 we turned on the television, fired up the DVD player and began to watch the finale.
Note to self: the “Surivor Finale” is approximately 3 HOURS long NOT just 2 HOURS.
The DVD “chapter” ended with the jury voting on the remaining Survivors and we had NO IDEA who had actually won the MILLION (we both hoped it was Tom, but didn’t have the confirmation)
My poor wife and I both had a hard time accepting the fact that we missed the entire LIVE reunion show, and especially the announcement of who won Surivor. Jess said, “get on the internet” – then we realized that I left my laptop at the church and my desktop is still “under the weather”, so I fired up the Dell Axim PDA and surfed the slow internet on a palm-top only to realize that in California, the live show hasn’t been aired, so the internet is NOT going to tell us.
At about 20 minutes till 12 (CST) we made a decision to call – even wake up if necessary – my folks in South Carolina.
Mom and Dad graciously stayed on the line until well after 1AM their time to give us the rundown of how things went on the finale!
It was QUITE the stressful evening!
