It was one of the juiciest Survivor seasons in tiki-torch-snuffing history, so we hit up last night's big finale brouhaha to get the dirt, where Bob's awesomeness knew no bounds, Kenny ranted about the backstabbing that left him for dead, and Sugar was anything but sweet...

"I was not surprised in the slightest," Sugar tells us of her failure to garner a single vote at tribal council. "I was surprised Susie got so many votes. I thought it was going to be a landslide for Bob, and we always thought that. There were no surprises tonight. I gotta take that back—because the surprise tonight was that nobody tried to push me in the fire."

So true, right? Especially when Sugar is saying things like this about her rival Corinne: "You know what? Her family really needs to take out a really good life-insurance policy, because the way her karma is going to be, somebody in her family is going to kick it soon. And nobody's going to cry."

Ouch.

Sugar adds that she and Corinne have not spoken recently: "We try not to make eye contact."

Meanwhile, just another reason to love Bob: His winnings will go to his woman. He tells us, "I've never taken my wife on a honeymoon, and we've been married 28 years. She spent four hours in Africa. I'd like to put her on a plane and go to Gabon, and spend a little bit more than four hours."

Kenny addressed the shocking betrayal that got him booted: "I was really surprised, because I was in a tight alliance with Crystal and Sugar. Sugar said, 'No worries. You can trust me.' When it came down to it, I told her all my plans, and when I told her something, she would run off and tell Matty and Bob. I didn't realize she was doing that, then I was like 'Oh god, I shouldn't have told her, why did I trust her?' That was shocking."

Susie, for her part, has just one regret: "I would've probably changed trying to talk more to Randy, because I didn't realize he took that cookie thing so personal. I think if I could play the game differently I would've opened up my heart even a little bit more. I thought I opened it up to everybody, but apparently not to him. That's what cost me a million."

And what about Bob? Did he have any second thoughts? "About the only thing I would've changed is that I would've left a shirt on more often."

What are your thoughts on Survivor: Gabon, in all its fake-immunity-idol craziness? Post in the comments!
