For somebody who was around for such a short time, Bill was amazing. I had him as my winner pick pre-show and thought that he had a decent shot, because I could tell right off the bat that he was a charismatic, likable guy who I would enjoy watching if nothing else. Of course I was disappointed with the minimal role he had in the first few episodes and I'm not going to pretend that he was a big deal there, but I really couldn't care any less now about the fact that he only shined in his boot episode. How amazing he was in his boot episode and at the reunion more than makes up for the fact that those were the only times he was really shown. Colton is by a wide margin my least favorite contestant from this season and one of my most hated ever, and the absolute worst thing about him was his entitled attitude. He walked around acting like a little princess, thinking that he was running the show and everyone was doing everything for him and he was just the greatest thing since sliced bread... and for the most part, nobody called him out about it. Nobody ever called bullshit to him on the fact that he was running around mocking Leif for his disability and being horrible to Bill.. except for Bill. Bill was the only person who stood up to Colton during those first six episodes (other than Mike, but that was just in the secret scene), and I love him for that. Colton was coming down on Bill and saying incredibly ignorant bullshit about how Bill's choice of profession isn't a real job and he's ghetto trash (Has Colton ever even been within a fucking mile of a ghetto?). The entire thing was just so disrespectful and disgusting, and the way Bill handled it was amazing. He never stooped to the level of attacking Colton and he stayed incredibly classy, but he still made it very clear that Colton was being completely hypocritical and inconsiderate and a host of other things. That wasn't even their only fight (though, because Bill never stooped to the level of attacking Colton or saying anything bad about him as a person, "fight" may not even be the appropriate word) -- at camp, Bill had also tried to clear the air with Colton for the sake of understanding Colton's beef with him and keeping things cordial. But obviously, he was shut down. He unfortunately got voted out, and yeah, I'm going to have a huge level of sympathy for somebody who got voted out for no real reason other than "Colton can't stand people with different lifestyles". At the reunion, Colton got his own little scene about what a disgusting person he is, and obviously Bill came in. Colton's defense was that he was playing the game, and Bill explained why that's totally bullshit because confessionals have nothing to do with the game. Colton responded with some stupid garbage and Bill started to reply, but unfortunately, it was cut off. I wish that we had seen more of Bill's side, because watching him verbally destroy Colton without ever even using an insult was incredibly satisfying. My huge love for Bill and him being one of my favorites of the season (and, indeed, my favorite one-season pre-merge boot in Survivor history -- at least at this point) doesn't just stem from "He had scuffles with Colton and I hated Colton ^_^", but from the entire way Bill conducted himself. He was eloquent, witty, classy, and there couldn't possibly have been a better way for somebody to respond to somebody like Colton. Even though he didn't necessarily bring a ton, what he did bring was amazing, and how I felt about him during those scenes is definitely enough for me to put him as one of my two favorites of the entire season.

...but it isn't quiiite enough to outweigh the one person who I loved every episode from start to finish, and so Master Jonas still takes the #1 spot. From the very first episode to the end of his jury speech, I was totally enamored with the hilarious, witty, mildly awkward sushi chef. Prior to the show, I had him pegged as one of three people who had a real shot at winning (the others being Bill and Kim), and so I was always more excited for him than others.. and he never disappointed. Jonas is unique among my favorites in that he didn't necessarily have a ton of standout moments, but the scenes that he was in just were better for the sole fact that he was in them commenting on things. I loved his sense of humor and his way of narrating everything around him, particularly with the women. Other than Matt, who was just a douchebag, Jonas was the main guy who took issue with the fact that the women were being totally pathetic and hypocritical at the start. I was not a Salani fan during the first few rounds when they would ask for the men's supplies and then refuse to help them back and when they would just use the men for fire, and it was Master Jonas more than anyone who didn't want to let that happen. And if anything is clear from the placements on here, a sure-fire way to become one of my favorites is to be in opposition to the people I don't like. Other than that, he got an oddly strong edit during the first few episodes, constantly showing his thoughts on things that really didn't involve him. That made my original feelings regarding him as a potential winner even stronger, and I loved him even more during the pre-merge -- I liked him enough to root for him, and there was enough justification to do so, particularly after episodes five and six. He got really fleshed out during those episodes, and it constantly showed how he felt about Colton. In episode five, his "I could be Colton's bitch, I'll be whatever you want me to be, just don't vote me off" quote made me feel like there was a shot of him potentially pulling a Natalie White and kicking Colton's ass in the jury vote. After episode six, I felt even stronger about him as a winner, when he had multiple quotes that hinted that the game was about to change and he was ready to become the leader.. unfortunately, though, the One World beach wasn't ready to be led by Master Jonas, so he was voted out next, but not without one of my favorite boot episodes ever. The fact that I thought Jonas had a pretty likely winner's edit isn't what made me like him (I never liked SP Coach by any means, after all, and I was pretty sure that he was winning up until I got spoiled) -- it was mostly just his attitude, which showed itself during the merge. I love people who go out with a fight, and when it was pretty clear that Jonas was going to go, he went out with one last-ditch plea at Tribal Council. I love people who just throw everything out there openly before they go in order to at least try and make something happen, because it makes for a much, much more interesting ending, and Jonas definitely did that well. Unfortunately, it wasn't well enough, because the Tikiano tribe knew Master Jonas was too big of a threat and he got the coveted first jury seat. What was also great about his attitude was that, despite wanting to be a part of the game, he really never took anything too seriously. He was just a happy-go-lucky guy a lot of the time who had a sense of humor about everything, like with his funny boot line, and his hilarious jury speech. I loved that he couldn't even get his "Address me as Master" joke all the way out before laughing, and his going up to Chelsea and saying that all the men agreed she was the hottest was so awkward and amusing. Overall, Jonas was just a presence who I really, really enjoyed and wanted to win, and I felt that way about him consistently throughout his entire stay. The answer to the question of "How badass can a sushi chef be?" is, evidently, incredibly badass, and there's nobody who I enjoyed, was entertained by, and rooted for as consistently as I did with Jonas this season. Although Bill comes close, Jonas was without a doubt my favorite person this season, and I can still cross my fingers in the hopes that we're lucky enough to see Master Jonas return one day.

And.. that's it.

Solid cast overall!

Next finalist thing will be up Saturday at the latest. Have to study a lot tomorrow for an AP test, and as for whether it's up on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday, that just depends on when I have the time and motivation to work on it.
