*to the TV, out loud for no particular reason*

I dont remember Survivor having three finalists before…the things they do for ratings, sheesh.

(why is this?)

There were three finalists in Cook Islands, Fiji, China, Gabon and Samoa, and there will be three again in the current season.

In response to your earlier post, MCB, it really depends on how you define your “highlights”. I would prefer to read something that’s been pared down to a cohesive storyline, perhaps just pulling out excerpts from conversations/”confessionals” that illustrate exactly what is going on the game, of course with some narrative to string it together.

I want to see who formed alliances with whom, who made promises that they didn’t intend to keep, and I definitely want to see what sort of lobbying was going around prior to the tribal councils that led up to the votes falling where they did. Any other information isn’t really necessary unless it has a distinct narrative purpose (pacing, misdirection, characterization, et cetera). bumuming that this is what you meant by “highlights”, then that is what I would prefer.
