Last question from Probst. “When you leave here tonight, and are on the streets are you single or available?” Is Malcolm going to be walking back to his hotel when a limo slowly pulls up beside him and the window winds down to reveal Probst and a wad of cash inside? “Single,” responds Malcolm. So, not available to you, Probst.

Probst says that he’s not sure we can have a great season without a great villain. “Fortunately for this season, we had Abi.” We get a montage of Abi pouts, passive-aggression, tongue stick-outs, grumpy-faces and people mocking her.

Probst’s first question, paraphrased is, “You have never been referred to as unlikeable? Really?” Abi confirms that it was the first time, and the show was a “huge learning experience and I have a lot of growing to do.” “How so?” asks Probst. “Did you... watch the show?” Hey, Abi is suddenly awesome!

Now Probst is defending Abi, saying he kept throwing out it was something cultural, and people would respond “are you nuts?” What does Abi want to change? She saw herself as “very abrasive, very passive-aggressive, my emotions on my sleeves, I need to change that.” So yes Probst, it was Abi and you are nuts.

Probst replays the clip where Abi calls Michael an idiot and a moron. “Cultural,” mocks Malcolm. I think if I wanted to show Abi’s worst side I’d show a clip of her when she felt on top, not when she was scrambling to prove she is so unlikable that she should go further in the game.

Time to hear from RC and Pete about Abi. RC agrees that Abi was her downfall and “she would not listen to any reason whatsoever.” And according to RC, that’s why they’re both losers. What about Pete? He says that setting Abi and RC against each other, well... “it was funny.” RC jumps in to say that “I’m glad Pete has such long arms to pat himself on the back, because it was the worst move imaginable, so he’s the one person congratulating himself.” Pete has obviously heard this before. “I guess some people are still a little bitter.” I’m so glad the Tandang alliance was doomed.

After the break, it’s time to see which player will win $100,000 – or $60,000 once Obama takes his cut – for the Sprint Player of the Season award. It was apparently the closest it’s ever been, and at the very end the difference between the winner and runner-up was 0.7%. It comes down to Malcolm and Lisa, and the winner is Lisa! That’s nice, because she lost all her Facts of Life money in the Wall Street crash of ’87. Probst rubs it in for Malcolm, “once again it was just this close.”

Let’s check in on the castaways that we’ve all forgotten about! Angie came out “with her heart.” She had a “great time, the best experience of my life.” Probst suggests that Zane quit. Zane did not – he just made a “very very bad move, very, very bad.” Roxy actually did speak in tongues on the beach, but no regrets there.
