All season long, CBS has asked the Survivor One 2012 castoffs questions from fans on Facebook and Twitter and they’ve released the latest, which is actually for Survivor One World winner Kim Spradlin.

Here’s what you, the fans, and she had to say:

Sonya H.: KIM, what are some of the things you are planning to use the money for?
Kim – I have two bridesmaid boutiques that I could put a little money in to. I have some bills to pay and I’m looking to have a little fun and travel.

Ralph W.: Congratulations, Kim! Well earned. Were you surprised that Chelsea did not receive any votes at the final vote?
Kim: Yes initially. During the gameplay I thought she was my biggest competition

Survivor One World watchers weren’t the only ones who thought this season was a bit of a bore. Even host Jeff Probst revealed his true feelings about the season to Entertainment Weekly.

“I think this season was a bit of a letdown,” Jeff said. “No fault of the Survivors, we are the producers. We just didn’t have the standout moments and characters needed for a great season.”

Jeff says that won’t be the case for next season. Survivor Philippines “is going to be a return to GREAT Survivor. I really believe we will remind the audience of how fun Survivor can be.”

Ratings for the finale were also down. Looks like after about week four when it became clear Kim was going to steamroll all the way to the end a couple of folks decided they could use that three hours on Sunday for something more productive. According to reports, the ratings were 10.22 million for the finale and 8.07 million stuck around for the live reunion. That’s down 30 percent for the finale compared to last Spring. The reunion was down 29 percent.

Last night on the Survivor One World finale we learned a little more about the next Survivor 2012 season: Philippines. Host Jeff Probst introduced us to next season’s twist and it’s a twist on a twist that I’d rather not see again: returning players.

On season 25 of Survivor there will be three tribes, presumably six castaways in each, and one of those castaways from each tribe will be a returning player who was previously eliminated for medical reasons. I wonder how long after Colton’s departure during One World the production team decided they needed to find a way to get him back because this seems tailor made for just that reason. Don’t forget Jeff Probst also asked Colton during the One World Reunion show if he would come back for another season.

Survivor One World – what’s been called by many the most predictable, boring and dumbest season of Survivor yet – concluded Sunday night with more predictable, boring and dumb stuff.

And even though there’s really nothing to spoil to anyone who has watched any of this season, I’ll still write this recap in consecutive order in case some still wants to pretend there might have been some suspense in tonight’s Survivor 2012 finale.

At the start of the three-hour finale (two hours were pre-taped on the island and the third hour was the live crowning and reunion), we get the big flashback scenes. It was nice to be reminded that only two things happened all season: Colton was a bully and Kim steamrolled all the way to the end.

And like any competition show at this point, we get the who is aligned with whom and who is going home. And all the flip-flopping and all the pointless talk. Is Kim taking Christina and Alicia or is Kim taking Chelsea and Sabrina? Those were apparently the only two possible options. Which says even more about this season.

At the first immunity challenge, for a split second it looks like Christina might win. Then maybe Chelsea. And that’s a good thing because for at list 30 seconds or so, Kim plans to send Chelsea home that night because she thinks the guys would vote for her to win the $1 million. But like always, Kim wins. So we can all go back to sleep until the next challenge.

It’s time to find out who won Survivor 2012 One World. When tonight’s show begins we’re left with just five castaways but by the end of the night there will be only one Survivor! The only thing we know so far: it’s going to be a woman.

The first challenge of the night is for immunity. Castaways will start with a knot challenge that leads to a balance beam maze requiring a complete start-over if they fall off. From there they’ll have to collect bags of puzzle pieces to get another combination lock code and unlock immunity.

Alicia is the first through the maze with Chelsea right behind her. They were the last two through the knot challenge, so leading didn’t help them. Chelsea is the first to the final puzzle with her parts while Alicia ends up second to last there after screwing up the parts collection. Kim is the first through the puzzle, but she still has to figure out the clues to unlock immunity. After several failed attempts and a close race with Chelsea and Alicia the win goes to Kim, her third of the season.

Tonight is the big night. It’s Survivor One World finale Sunday and like the CBS promos say, girl power dominates for the first time in Survivor history.

The all-female final five will face three tribal councils in two hours to be named the ultimate Survivor. Following the two-hour finale at 8 pm, the Survivor One World reunion starts at 10 pm.

So who will become the ultimate Survivor? Kim, Christina, Chelsea, Sabrina or Alicia? The entire 2012 season has been hinting at one outcome and one outcome alone.  And that’s that the $1 million will be going in Kim’s pocket. Could we see a shakeup? Could we get our first actual shocking moment of the season? Or will the finale play out like everyone expects, just like the rest of this season? Let’s all cross our fingers for some excitement for a change.

Check back later tonight for our live finale results and a little later for a complete recap of the show.

Who do you want to win Survivor 2012?

Don’t forget about the Survivor One World season finale tomorrow night.

The final five are set to battle it out to become the winner of the 24th installment of the CBS competition show. Before the end of the night, the contestants will sit through three Tribal Councils, giving us the Top 3 and finally, the winner.

So who is going to be the Survivor 2012 winner? Kim? That’s the obvious choice. But can Chelsea, Alicia, Sabrina or Christina pull of the win? We’ll have to find out tomorrow.

Following the finale, we’ll get the reunion special. Who else is ready to hear what good ole Colton has to say?

Tarzan had his Survivor One World torch snuffed this week and now we’ve got his exit interview, and to no one’s surprise, he goes on and on about a bunch of  nothing. And after you wash off the dirt, he kind of looks like Nick Notle.

He talks about whether or not be was playing smart or playing dumb but he does say he is proud to have been the last man standing and even more proud that a woman (Kat) went before him.

“64 years old … last man standing!” He said. “Not the biggest, not the toughest, not the most athletic but smart enough to be the last man standing.”

He goes on to talk about what he should do to fake the others out. So was he just playing the game by acting kind of off his rocker? I’m not sure just yet. This was just the day after. So maybe he’s still just tired and hungry.

It was more of the same on Survivor One World this week as Kim and her puppets helped her edge closer and closer to the Survivor 2012 grand prize.

The episode picked up right after last week’s Tribal Council with Kat talk. Tarzan says they should have sent him home and that he has a “subplot” to get to the top 3. But then he decides he only needs to go to Top 4. Way to sell yourself. Tarzan says he’s been working in segments just to quietly slip into Top 3. So what’s Tarzan want out of the game? He still just wants to buy shocks for his car.

For the next 45 minutes we just get a bunch of Top 3 talk. Who is going to take whom, who is going to be sent home this week. Who is pissed off. Who is playing everyone. Here’s a hint: EVERYONE is playing EVERYONE. Have you ever seen Survivor? I hate this time of any reality show season. So much flip-flopping. So much annoyance.

After a brief insight to Tarzan’s plan (don’t get eliminated) and Kim’s plan (don’t let anyone know I’m getting them all eliminated) we jump right in to the luxury challenge, “Wheel Spinning.” The castaways have to spin to release their parts to a spinning combination lock. Chelsea jumps in to the lead for solving the combination and is determined to try every option until she finds the right one. Sure enough, she beats out close competition from Sabrina, Kim, and Christina.

Jeff proclaims Chelsea the winner of a trip to a sailboat where she can enjoy a shower, dinner, and restful night’s sleep. It’s never simple though because she’ll have to pick two people to go with her. First up is Sabrina. Next is Tarzan. I’m kidding. Who else but Kim? So they journey off and enjoy the spoils of Chelsea’s victory while the rest of the Bitter Brigade heads back to camp.
