Meanwhile Probst lamely and defensively talks about all the stuff everybody hated about the last episode and finale:

now I want to read Cochran’s thesis.
My buddy thinks Brenda wuz robbed due to Eric hanging one for just an hour more. He makes a good point. What say you?
They still would have had the vote, and Erik didn’t vote for her, so it would have turned out the same. I was surprised earlier this season when a medevac didn’t take the place of the next tribal council–they still had to vote somebody off.
They did say 100/70, which is still fine.
The thing that said 100 and 50 wasn’t measuring blood pressure - Dr. Jen had done that with a sphygmomanometer. The 100 - 50 thing was attached to a clip on Erik’s finger - presumably the 100 was blood oxygen percentage, and the 50 was his pulse. 100 is obviously what you want for oxygen, and 50 is a little low, but still not a problem by itself.
I remember my older sister having a similar cry over the death of Elvis about 30 years ago. I had no sympathy then, and I have none now. He’d been dead for ten years, so I didn’t quite get why my older sister didn’t just grow up and accept it.
Your fantasies don’t come true all the time. Boo friggin’ Hoo.
Probst sounds like such a D-bag in that interview that it genuinely decreases my interest in watching the show.
There is a reason my most common refrain during the show (and by contestants, even) is “Shut Up, Probst”.
Allie, one of the early boots ranted about the the reunion show on her facebook page.
And she makes many great points, IMO.
She was told to bring three dresses. Two of them were deemed to be too short (she would be seated in 'bleachers" and it was a live show), and the third one was the same color as Franny’s who would be sitting right to her. So she was forced to go shopping at the 11th hour for another outfit.
Then 6 friends/families were flown and had to pay for hotel rooms (Survivor paid the airfare).
IMO, Probst and other executive producers deserve all the criticism that they are getting.
FTR-She didn’t explain why Franny could not have worn another one of her three dresses.
[spoiler]I hate Rupert, too, but on a different site I saw that an even more repulsive player, Colton the gay racist, is part of the group as well. Hopefully he’s just a decoy.

Lamar, if your spoiler is correct, I’m out. I’ve watched literally ever single season–but that would be it for me. There’s more interesting stuff on TV than anything associated with that.
Ditto. I’ve watched all but 1 season of survivor. I missed the first season, then caught the second season and got hooked. I skipped the first part of Survivor:Samoa until Russell Hantz was voted out, but otherwise I’ve seen every episode of every season since.
[spoiler]But I just cannot see watching a season with so many retread players, again. We just did that! I’m fine with doing one season with returning players, then a season with all new faces. That works, mostly. But a season that includes two previous winners, right after a Fans v Favorites season, and with players that are returning for the third and forth time? Seriously? Shark, meet jumped.
Also: Colton. Fuck that, and fuck him. Get off my television, bitch.
