It's been a season filled with super fans, strategizing and controversy, combined to create the ultimate clash of classes. For the last time this season, welcome back to Reality Wanted, where like Carolyn and Rodney's pieces of flint, we're very much broken this season is over.

Last night saw the 5 remaining castaways, Carolyn, Mike, Rodney, Sierra and Will, battle it out in 2 final immunity challenge, ending in a winner being crowned of Survivor: Worlds Apart. But it didn't end there! The reunion show kicked it into overdrive, as Jeff confronted Mike and Will on their comments to Shirin and later announced the cast of Survivor: Second Chances. In fact, it wasn't really a reunion show at all. But we'll get to that later.

Let's end this season doing what do we best! Here at the Top 7 takeaways from season 30's final episode:

Family Reward:

It was the reward no one wanted more than Joe. Little did he no in order to reach that reward, he'd have to make it all the way to the Final 5. In the last reward challenge of the season, Jeff introduced 1 family member from each of the Final 5. Carolyn's husband/high school sweetheart entered first, followed by Mike's mother, Rodney's father, Sierra's father and then Will's wife!

The loved ones element sparked short life into Will, launching him to an early lead in the reward challenge. However, Mike was the one who walked out victorious winning the chance to spend time with his mother, bringing her back to camp, and an advantage at the next immunity challenge.

Mike's mother was a 100% pleasure to see at camp. Props on getting some fresh, kind faces in there CBS. That's what this season needed like 10 episodes ago.

The reward continued into the immunity challenge, as Mike's mother was given 30 minutes to advise a blindfolded Mike through a large maze. The advantage proved extremely useful as Mike plowed through the actual challenge, giving Rodney, Sierra and Will no option but to work together. In the end, Mike solidified himself a spot in the Final 4 winning his fourth individual immunity of the season.

Barreling to the Jury:

What once was a solidified alliance, on the hunt for Mike, is now a broken group of individuals ruled by Mike. In voting out Dan, Carolyn found herself a new friend in Mike, Rodney just cares about "keepin it real" and Sierra/Will just don't want it to be them.

Ultimately, after 37 Days it was the 27-year-old Barrel Racer that became the 7th member of the jury. Why? Because that's who Mike chose.

Final Immunity:

It's the moment we've been waiting for. After 38 Days in Survivor, the final immunity is Carolyn, Rodney and Will's last chance to beat Mike and potentially place him as the final member of the jury.

In the final challenge, the Final 4 must rip through knots, race up stairs, glide down a slide, maneuver through an obstacle course, unlocking 3 bags, and build a lighthouse puzzle. It's a challenge that tests pure physical strength and endurance, which is what everyone is lacking after 38 days in the game.

As I'm sure many of you were suspecting, Mike plows through yet another challenge, winning the one that matters most! It's official people, Mike is in the Final 3 and will be pleading his case to the jury! Although with a Survivor resume like his, pleading isn't even that necessary.

Fire Challenging:

The final tribal council this season ended on a perfect note: a Fire Showdown. Instead of giving into Rodney and Will and voting for Carolyn, Mike chose to side with Carolyn and send 2 votes to Rodney, creating a Final 4 deadlock. This means that Carolyn and Rodney must build a fire to burn a rope and EARN a spot in the Final 3.

Although Carolyn practiced for multiple hours before tribal, it took an hour for sparks turn to flames and it was actually Rodney who created the first fire. But after only using coconut husk and not building a lasting flame, Mama C came from behind and solidified herself a spot in the Final 3.

Falling just 1 day short, Boston got the boot and became the final member of the 8-person jury.

Power Shift:

Here we go! It's down to Mike, Carolyn and Will! Now all the power shifts to the jury.

Mike played a strong social game in the beginning stages of the game, but when it fell flat mid-season, he relied on winning immunities.

Carolyn constantly found herself in a power position of the game, always within the majority, relying heavily on a strong strategic game and even winning 2 immunities this season.

Then there's Will.. As Shirin put it, he's the "dead fish" that people just dragged to the end. Can't argue with that.

The votes go as follows:

For Carolyn: Sierra

For Mike: Hali, Joe, Jenn, Shirin, Tyler, Dan

For Will: Rodney

After 39 Days in Nicaragua, Mike Holloway is the Sole Survivor and $1 Million winner of Survivor: Worlds Apart.

An extremely well-deserved win and satisfying end to an otherwise controversial season. "Flippers Never Win"... ya, okay Dan!

CONGRATULATIONS MIKE!! Next time please don't tackle your mother. We thought we lost one for a second.

Not Much of a Reunion:

This season there wasn't much of a reunion. Jeff talked to Mike, Carolyn, Rodney and Joe very quickly, but then shifted to Dan and Will for the rest of it. Is Kelly's face okay from getting smacked by the wooden platform that reward? We'll just never know the answer and have to assume the worst. Thanks Jeff.

I do appreciate Survivor addressing the comments said by Dan and Will because if you remember the finale of Big Brother 15, they chose not to address the racist comments said by many of the houseguests and it left viewers unsatisfied. However, this Survivor reunion became the Dan and Will show.

In a Survivor first, we saw raw footage of camp life. Jeff proved that when Dan says some of his comments were taken out of context is a complete lie. Now I'm sure some comments were because that's the nature of editing, but the Dan we saw on Survivor is the Dan you'd see on the streets.

As for Will, his apology wasn't all that great. Same goes for Dan, but when you have a nation against you and cameras on you for the last time, you really have no choice but to apologize to Shirin. I'd like to hope the apology was real, but this season proved that sometimes people play to the cameras.

However, Will says, "You have to get to a point where you can forgive, whether it's me or the people from your past." I understand this, but Shirin shouldn't have to forgive Will if she doesn't want to. Even Jeff kind of pushed her into accepting the apology, but she wasn't going to give it to him. Fair deal.

2nd Chances:

READY FOR NEXT SEASON!? The Reunion show ended with Jeff publicly telling all 32 eligible Second Chancers who made the cut and who got the early axe.

I'm most excited to see how Kelly Wiglesworth, the original runner-up and perfect example of a second chancer, will fair in the new world of Survivor. After 15 years and 30 seasons, Survivor has evolved to a completely new social experiment.

I'm also excited to see how big personalities such as Abi, Kass, Shirin and Ciera will interact with one another!

I'm very surprised and also a bit disappointed that Carolyn wasn't given a second shot. I think she proved herself as a strong competitor physically and mentally and would be an asset to any future season. What happened!?

BUT ENOUGH ABOUT WHAT I THINK! Tell me what you think! Were you happy with Mike winning the game? What did you think of the reunion show? How pumped are you for next season? Let me know!
