The following contains spoilers for the finale of Survivor Season 43.In a season that has felt fairly predictable in a lot of ways, the Survivor 43 finale managed to be much more unpredictable than most people probably expected. It was an emotional finish to the season in more ways than one, from the fire-making challenge to the aftermath of the final vote. The final outcome was definitely unexpected, by both the cast and by a majority of the viewers, apparently. Part of that may be down to the edit and what it left out, but for the most part, this episode did a pretty clear job of tying the threads of everyone's journeys together, whether or not fans feel the winner deserved the prize.
The three-hour finale (which, though it's a Survivor staple to have these long finales, is way too long for any one episode of a TV show to be) starts with the remaining five players exploring their new camp where they have been sent to spend the last few days in the game. The point of this was to give them an additional challenge by putting them in this uncomfortable environment, but not a lot of time was dedicated to showing why it actually challenged them in any way, so it ended up feeling pointless.
The editing for this episode, and for the season as a whole, in hindsight, was strange. The players who got really good edits that showed off their gameplay didn't make it to the end, and the edit of the actual winner was devoid of any sort of hint toward their eventual win. The winner got a really goofy edit, and seemed to be positioned as the comic relief character, which might have been a way to throw the audience off the scent, but it just led to a really unsatisfying - and frankly, baffling - end. It just feels like the players who should have won, and who the show was leading you to believe would win, were booted off too early.
Survivor is a reality show, but it's specifically edited to tell a certain story, and Gabler's story this season was about a guy with a really big heart who bumbled around a lot, not someone who outwitted the rest of the cast. Gabler's game wasn't terrible, but there were so many other players that were given the typical \"winner's edit\" that it felt like a blindside on the audience when he won. Unexpected twists are fun, but not when they come at the expense of wrapping up a narrative in any sort of satisfying way. While the finale was entertaining to watch, it produced an outcome that's likely to be controversial amongst Survivor fans for a very long time.
Season 43, hosted by Jeff Probst, featured a merge of three tribes after the original 18 castaways were split into three groups: Baka, Vesi, and Coco. Season after season, the cast put up their best efforts in challenges, formulated tactics, made allies and questioned intents to earn a spot in the season finale.
The 43rd season of Survivor has lived up to its billing thanks to the wide variety of contestants and the many surprising moves, clever methods, and strategic gaming they demonstrated. A one-hour reunion special will follow a two-hour series finale.
In last season, we watched castaways compete not knowing what to expect due to them not being able to view the season before theirs. While the contestants for Survivor 43 may not have been able to watch last season due to filming, they were able to watch Season 41 of the show. Maybe that means it might be time for Survivor to introduce some new twists into the game. We will have to wait to find out! 59ce067264
