Survivor 21 Elders vs. Juniors
Jud "Fabio" Birza was named the winner in the final episode on December 19, 2010, defeating Chase Rice and Matthew "Sash" Lenahan in a 5–4–0 vote. Jane Bright won $100,000 as the "Sprint Player of the Season."
Pretty boy Jud Birza, better known to fans as Fabio, beat Chase Rice by one vote to take the title of Sole Survivor and the million-dollar prize. He also became the youngest player at age 21 to win the game. It was interesting that it came down to these two guys — Sash Lenahan didn't get any love from the jury — because it almost seemed like a contest between dumb and dumber. (Jury member Marty Piombo even suggested a Dumber Than a Bag of Hammers Award, most likely for Chase, whom he couldn't stand.)
This year I really found it hard to maintain interest in the show like the many seasons prior. It really was all about playing dumb and who was the dumbest. From attempting to pull off some of the similar tactics as in previous seasons such as, drowning shoes to putting out the campfire it was dull! Period. It was dull.
Then you had two who thought it so dull they even quit the game stating their own reasons and or unusual circumstances. But it wasn't all about the final three in the reunion show. There was of course plenty of talk about NaOnka's bad attitude (her mom apparently wasn't surprised by her daughter's behavior), not to mention the fact that she and Purple Kelly quit the game. Probst announced that thanks to those two ladies, going forward, the show has the option to not include quitters in the jury.
The bottom line is I thought it sucked. Let's hope next season has some of the old spice such a true villain like Russsell Hantz. Or a true Survivor like Parvati. Looking forward to a better and more interesting season up and coming.
