Survivor has changes in store for finale
After many, many seasons of “Survivor”, Mark Burnett and Co. are changing things up for the Cook Islands finale. Traditionally, there is a final two that are then voted on by a jury of seven former co-castaways. We’ve grown to depend on that formula. But this time, there will be a final three and they will be voted on by a jury of nine. This, of course, is a huge change for the show. Not all of the contestants were pleased to hear about the change, obviously, as their strategies had been aimed at a different end. This is a wonderful thing for the viewers of “Survivor”, however. We now stand a greater chance at seeing a truly deserving person win the $1,000,000 grand prize.
That’s not all the news about the finale. To read all the details, check out this article over at Reality TV World.
I think this is a great twist and change. This can only be good for us “Survivor” fans out there. Plus, with a show as long running as this one, any change is good as far as keeping the audience interested!

I’m not entirely sure why, but it could have been because Jeff thought Yul was trying to fraternize with the jury. Or it could be because Jeff is a prick. Hard tellin’. [...]
