39. LOL. Everybody turned on everybody else. Race played no role
in this game except that alliances that were made in the beginning were between people of the same race because the show divided them that way.

The "Hispanic" team threw a team competition so they could go to tribal council to vote out Billy. All of the other members besides Ozzy were voted out rather early in the game. He would have been voted out much earlier if he wasn't beneficial for the rest of the tribe in getting food and then kept winning immunity.

The "African-American" team had no problem throwing each other under the bus. They voted out each other easily when the racially divided tribes merged. Sundra, who made it until nearly the end had an alliance with Becky and Yul from the original "Asian" tribe.

The "white" team split up too. They would have voted each other out to win.

The Asian team had no problem voting out Cowboi, Brad, and Jenny. The only reason Becky stayed with Yul was because she knew he was her way to stay in the game. Yul had the immunity idol, if he had not, he would have been voted out long before because he was a threat just like Ozzy.

I guess all the other races "stereotypically acted...white" as well. Hmmm...talk about a racist comment.

This is a GAME. That's why I don't understand the hatred for Jonathan either. He was playing the game just like all the other people. There wasn't one person who didn't lie to another person while there. Anyone who signs up to play survivor since the first season knows how this game works and shouldn't do it if they can't handle it.

Ozzy should have won because he was left alone with no alliance and no leverage to pull people his way. He survived by being superior to all of the other people. If Yul hadn't had the immunity idol he wouldn't have been there. The only credit I can give him is that he got Adam to vote for him in the end by going after Jonathan. Adam must be the biggest idiot around since he knew he was going to be voted out anyway, but then he had promised his vote to someone. Ozzy would have won if it wasn't for that idiot.

What this seasons Survivor really showed was that race plays zero factor when it comes to pride and greed. In the end, we are all the same.
