If I had been on the jury I would not have given Todd my vote. I'm not sure if I would have given it to Courtney or Amanda. I liked Amanda better most of the season but Courtney did grow on me.

James was the special award winner chosen by Sprint text votes. That did not surprise me.

And it was nice of Mark Burdett to make the spur of the moment decision to give Denise the special award of $50,000 when he learned that she was demoted from "lunch lady" to janitor due to her fame from being on the show. (Actually, I'm not sure it was a monitory demotion but it changed her hours and her new hours conflicted with family time.)
