Good wrap up Erik! The only thing with this last survivor (I haven’t watched it since the first one) is how do you choose the winner? Do you do it on who played the game best, who was the nicest perso, who needs the money most, who do you like better….. It’s such an open

Update: 3 minutes later answered. We’re still very much alive though. Update: Wild just tied it up with 12 minutes left in the third. Come on guys, we
