HUGE congratulations to you Gabler on your epic win! Love that you donated your entire winnings to helping veterans. You are an incredible person and played a great game. I wish you nothing but the best!
What a win. Good for you Gabler, no one saw it coming, certainly not me, and I’m so proud of you and the game you played! Thank you for donating the money and showing some respect to our military heroes! It’s time this game forget about the woke crap and focus on being a show to unite us all!! May God bless you, thank you for an absolutely thrilling and adventure of a season. Happy holidays to all
"I think I'm ready to win it. Not just to play it, but to win it." You were more than ready. Congrats on pulling it off! (And you made good on your "All-American" promise, too! Thank you for allocating the money for soldiers in need.)
I couldn’t think of anyone more worthy of the limelight, or anyone more athletic, charismatic, outspoken, or most importantly, genuine!!! Listen up Survivor, you NEED this Wildman !
This is EXACTLY who we need to entertain and inspire us right now! Must have this guy on Survivor! I’m already so super excited just thinking about how fun this season would be with Mike on it! LET’S DO THIS!! 🙌🏼
@@shouldibetrusted1191 no such thing as a perfect game. The votes against you is completely irrelevant. The percentage of jury vote you get sure we can evaluate a player based on that.
This guy is a rockstar in life. Known him for more than 45 years. Everyone who is commenting about how exciting he’s going to be to watch on the show has gotten it exactly right. Go Mike!
I had a horse that was half Arab once. Best horse ever! You proved to be a work horse on that show. Putting one foot in front of the other, ever plodding forward, never trying to sprint. You connected with young people in a deep way. Being true to yourself from start to finish. Then keeping your intentions with the money secret until the very end. You knew what was at stake and you played it right. You did it. I rarely root for anyone on Survivor but I was thrilled that you won. Nice job, you are a class act.
Most interesting player of 43 and one of the best gameplays! Great game, Gabler! Congrats on your win and how honorable of you to donate your winnings for our veterans!!!
Dude, you're an amazing human, and I'm so glad you were able to get the dub. I don't think I've ever gotten that emotional during a Survivor episode ever when you were talking about your dad. Special stuff. Thank you for showcasing what people are capable of in so many ways. 👊
This is awesome! You will be fantastic on Survivor!!! Wild and outrageous... uh yes! But also thoughtful, empathetic, insightful, and analytical. This is going to be so GOOD!!!!
This guy is a social genius! Well before the end I could see this guy playing under the radar and certainly knew what he was doing. A lot of people doubted him for his age I believe but glad the jury noticed and respected it
Same brother! I remember making a post on the Survivor subreddit asking if anybody else thought he had a chance and everybody gave me a resounding no. I am ecstatic to have been right since the beginning.
You are a thoroughbred gentleman - a superb representative for America. Congrats on the win. I wish you the very best in life. Regards from a Survivor fan in Ireland
Congratulations!!! Being a veteran I would give you a standing ovation. Seeing you has make me want to apply to be on the show. I have watched from the beginning and can’t wait to be where you are today. Congratulations again!!!
Congrats man! Gabler was my #1 pick from the start. Charismatic and talented. Setting the new record for the firemaking challenge at the end was the icing on the cake.
Dude!!! Blown away with ur win. And unbelievably humbled when you announced where the prize money was going. Thank you for caring. I can't remember the last time I was that emotional watching something on TV. Maybe because it's Christmas I don't know but you are an amazing guy thanks again
Mike, you became one of my all time favorite players. I've been watching Survivor with my dear grandma since season 3, and you catapulted up to the very top of our very favorite players ever. As the son of a veteran, thank you so much for that gesture. That is beyond words. I dearly, dearly hope you get to play again one day if you want to. You're an awesome freaking dude my man. Stay you.
Episode one I immediately felt this aura coming off of Gabler and I told my husband “He’s going to win the show.” When he threw himself under the bus in the early game we were so worried. So thankful he pulled through and took it home. As a fellow Texan, I gotta say, YEEEEEEEEEHAWWWWWW GABLER. Watching him make the entire jury light up with smiles and laughter was just icing on the cake.
When I voiced my thoughts saying that he played a great game and he had a shot to win, I got called a sexist for it. But I never lost faith in this man. What a final tribal performance, and what a win. An absolute class act, well deserved. I was rooting for Jesse and his family but if anyone other than Jesse was going to win the fact that it’s this guy brings a smile to my face. Thank u gabler for an amazing season and thank u for being a standup guy
Jesse going to the jury hurt, and the thought of one of the finalists winning made me think this could be worse than 41. But Gabler surprised me with his performance in FTC and it turned my mood around immediately. Not my pick, but glad he got the win. He officially joins Bob Crowley as one of the strangest Survivor winners ever.
It doesn't make sense to call a person sexist for thinking that someone had a chance to win. There is the fact that males win significantly more compared to women, however, which is very similar to other reality shows like Big Brother. I could tell pretty early on that a man was going to win given the number of men left toward the end. I liked the Gabler win, personally. He represented himself really well at the final tribal.
And a class act for not telling anyone until late about donating the money to the Vets I know so vets of my own in my family some of my family has died in war and some have even went to war
I honestly can’t think of a better candidate for this show! Having known you most of my life I can guarantee viewers will tune in just to see what you will do next! You are actually THE perfect candidate!!
Erika: I Smashed the hourglass and Changed course of History Maryanne: i used my extra vote to my advanntage and my Idol at the finale to win... Gabler: I threw out elie's names because i was trying to... throw out elie's name.... Gabler #1 winner
Congrats AliGabler! You had me in tears. I am late to the party but your donation is so commendable and I had to stop thorough to thank you personally. Such a blessing!
I quit watching the show a LONG time ago, but would DEFINITELY watch it with you on it. You and your family always seem to have so much energy and passion for everything you do! I am voting for you!!
it was a surprising win that night,,, but once the vote count finished it made perfect sense,,, you were agent that nobody knew was the agent.... pure stealth, outwit, outlast, outplay...
I remember that episode of crocodile hunter vividly. He wrestled steve irwin to the ground and shouted "I'M THE ALIGABLER" before putting his head under water and disappearing.
I couldn't believe you did that at the end but then I remember how you were naming people that meant something to you. You won that immunity challenge and everything came full circle. Congrats!
