First off, Sarah won. I hated her on the show but then again, I hate most of the winners on this show. The good guys rarely wins.
Secondly, this is the first season where I've really hated Jeff's behavior. The host is supposed to be unbiased but it's clear he has a favorite and that one was Cirie.
She gets a big speech during her exit (something NO other contestant had been given the luxury of doing that season) and to top it all off it was because she was the only one dumb enough not to get an advantage in the game!!! I felt sick seeing Jeff swoon over his favorite and now am open to the belief that Survivor does indeed have favorites they help out during the season just to get them along.
In another shameful display of favoritism they even let her come out and bow to the crowd after her early exit. Something NO OTHER contestant has EVER done in Survivor history. Just awful.
Then to top it all off Jeff has to rub the other Jeff's face in his mistake of outing Zeke, which was the biggest public shaming on TV I've ever seen. The man said he was sorry, LET IT GO. But no, we have to talk about how bad and wrong Jeff was because that episode was a ratings booster.
NEWSFLASH- Jeff didn't out Zeke, CBS did and it was purely for ratings.
Overall I have to say this was the most disappointing season of them all. I'm hoping for next season because it'll be nice to see some fresh faces. Until then...

I don't know if it was the most disappointing season EVER, because there have been some doozies (Parvati winning, etc). And there were some very satisfying moments - like Sandra getting voted out (and Makayla, etc). But I agree with everything else you said. Absolutely hated Sarah. Could not BELIEVE what the producers and Jeff did for Cirie. SHAMEFUL. And they spent more screen time on that Zeke garbage than everything else combined. Gimme a break already! Worst reunion show ever - by a lot. Also hated the final tribal format switcheroo. Not ok with that crap. Once JT and Caleb and Malcolm got voted out early, I figured it was gonna be a crappy season. But there were a few things I enjoyed. I'm still convinced that Probst is the best reality TV host ever, but yeah, he really milked a few stupid things this season, and some of his decisions sucked. Also, I like Ozzy, but they shouldn't let him play again. 4 times, and he's never really been that close to winning.
