"Just like you're lightin' birthday candles, bro" - Rodney Lavoie Jr. (Worlds Apart)
If you weren't screaming your head off when Carolyn won the firemaking tiebreaker, you're dead to me. I loved everything from start to finish about Rodney's downfall. From Mike winning final immunity, to him deciding to force a tie between Carolyn and Rodney while Rodney and his whale-sheep Will were confident Mike would vote Carolyn off, to Rodney's look of surprise when the last vote was read.
What really makes this for me is Rodney's reaction to losing the firemaking challenge -- tearfully calling Mike a "stupid piece of shit" and himself a "fucking idiot" and then burning his shirt while Carolyn looked on smugly and Will thought about the food coma he would be eating himself into the next day. And don't forget Rodney's exit confessional about Mike "For this redneck to make me do a fire competition, that's a bunch a horse shit. He's a scared baby, he's a, uh, uh, a silly redneck, and he's gonna get what's comin' to him".
Hated Rodney the whole season, and for him to FINALLY get the boot (and watch Dan Foley's ugly face frown in disappointment when Carolyn made it to the Final 3) was amazing and redemptive of almost everything bad about Worlds Apart from start to finish.
