Re: the Kathy - Zoe - Rob thing: does Kathy not trust Zoe, strictly because of Rob’s comment during their merger meeting? Could she be that dumb?

I don’t understand all the hand-wringing and chest-thumping that the survivors go through about “being honest”. Everyone is accusing each other of “not being honest”, and swearing that “at least I was honest”.

C’mon. I thought the whole point of the game was to be Machiavellian. If I was playing, I would probably not flat-out lie to anyone…probably. But I’d definitely keep my plans and opinions close to my vest.

42

The look on Tammi’s face when John was voted off was priceless. Did anyone else catch that.

Here is my idea for All-Star Survivor. Some of my ideas have been repeated already but here goes…

Players 2-5 from each season. They all got a taste of being so close to a million bucks. Now they get another chance. It is decided like in Gym Class in that both of the #2 players choose teams. Have the location kept secret before they get there so they don’t know what to expect (Hmm, Alaska would be interesting), Winner gets 2 million (just to piss off the previous winners).

43

I doubt they would ever do a cold weather Survivor, the risk and consequences of frostbite and hypothermia are much too dangerous.

44

Okay, I know I haven’t commented much (actually, this is the first time I ever commented on #4), but this is too rich. And yes, pun intended.

Like a lot of other supposedly shocking turnarounds on Survivor, really makes a lot of sense when you think about it. Put yourself in their shoes. (Sandals, whatever.) You know there’s gotta be an alliance somewhere, but you can’t quite pinpoint it. Judging by the recent immunity challenge, it probably has 3 or 4 members. All right, come Tribal Council time, you’ve narrowed it down to three choices:

#1: The good-for-nothing slacker who’s managed to tick off nearly everybody and really hasn’t done a damn thing that would indicate he has a snowball’s chance of winning this contest.

#2: The erratic, unreliable, slow-witted pseudo-leader who’s looked like a complete joke in nearly every challenge.

#3: The smooth, cocky, wisecracking true leader who’s annoying, but subtle about it, who’s smart and resourceful, and who’s been planning, plotting, thinking, and working toward victory from day 1…plus he’s managed to win the trust of someone you know.

If you have a molecule of common sense, especially after seeing Richard Hatch (ding ding ding!) win it all, you go after #3 with a freaking ICBM. Nothing else matters. If you don’t knock him out, and fast, he’s going to turn into a killing machine. Get the ringmaster out, break the alliance right then and there, and put a little fate back into YOUR hands. Not only a good decision, the only sane one.

And raspberries at the alliance for not, oh, suspecting something with the unusual immunity challenge. Couldn’t they deduce that it wouldn’t be a good idea to tip their hand there? Oh well, just something for the next two tribes to chew on…

Re. Sean…okay, I know he’s basically useless, but compared to, say, Jerri, or even Rob, he isn’t too terrible. At least I sometimes find him funny, which is more than I can say for the Ogakor Howler Monkey. I think he’s safe for now, and in fact could get a free pass to the final. Remember, he’s not like Richard; if it comes down to the jury, he’s got nuttin’.

So anyway, glad as anyone else that it’s a CONTEST again! Was actually getting a little worried there.

45

Oh, no. She’s not dumb. Far from it. She doesn’t trust Zoe because, with Rob’s prodding, Zoe was caught in a lie. Kathy watched her try to weasle out of Rob’s probing inquiry. When she questioned the other core Rotus, nothing added up, and she was getting very different stories from all of them. That’s why she sat under the waterfall during a confessional and said, “They’re all lying to me.”

I think they won’t do it because then they couldn’t show the tanned and oiled bodies.

46

My choice for the All-Survivor Survivor:
Take the first 2 people voted out from the four shows; that makes 16 people. Make a new show with those 16 people. Gives them all another chance.

47

Duh.
I mean first 2 people from each team, from each show.

48

Ugh, Sonya with her banjo? Bossy BB? Debb with her “we can build the shelter out of rocks?” Diane and her poodle hair? Peter with his holes?

There was a reason most of those people were voted out first.

I would prefer to see the interesting people who went too early or were just so darned funny or interesting I would enjoy seeing them again:

Survivor:

Gretchen (she would have done so well!)
Ramona (looked like an interesting person, was hard to tell because she was so sick at first)
Greg (I doubt he would do it, or if the producers would have him back, but I thought he was very very funny)
Richard (yeah, I know he won, but I’d still love to see him on All Star Survivor)

Survivor Outback:

Michael (he deserves another chance)
Jeff (biting commentary!! loved Jeff’s confessionals)
Alicia (I really liked Alicia)
Kel (gorgeous and honorable, was set up by Jerri, I think he should have gone a lot farther)

Survivor Africa:

Brandon (funny!)
Carl (I was really sad when Carl got voted out so early)
Teresa (she was such a fighter!)
Jessie (I always wondered how far she would have gone if she hadn’t been so ill)

Survivor Marquesas (so far):

Gina (should have gone farther)
Hunter (should have gone farther)
(2 slots open)

I thought about that but then I remembered the woman who a correctional officer and was voted off first on one of the earlier Survivors. When she came on the reunion show, she basically said she had a horrible time and while crying, said she wished she had never done it. Not only might others in that spot share similar sentiments but, if she was voted off first again, she’d probably freak out or something. :slight_smile:

50

But of course. Nobody’s saying that it wasn’t the right strategic move. The point is that nearly nobody thought they were smart or bloodthirsty enough to pull it off. Up until now, Paschal and Neleh were doing nothing more than going along for the ride. It was the big wake-up that was the shocker.

51

Oh, and thanks one and all for the suggestions on All-Survivor Survivor. There’s actually a good size batch of people who would be interesting to watch on a second go-round. Can’t believe neither I nor anyone else has mentioned Rudy yet, though. Burnet seems quite enamored of the old guy, so I’d be surprised if he didn’t make the cut.

52

They make a video you can rent of each Survivor. But my local store would only keep the first one. Nuts,
I kinda liked watching them uncensored.

53

I definately like both those ideas. I think to make it fair to all the previous Survivors they should get everyone together and come up with a challenge or something that would give everyone a fair chance to try again.
