Wow. I don’t remember the FIC either. All I remember is when the effin midget bastard looked in the mirror and said, “Hey everybody, come look at this!”
I wonder if Brian and his hot wife ever reconciled.
Maybe so, but that was worth the time. It has to come in on VH1’s 101 Greatest Moments in Survivor History when Stephenie, The TOUGHEST FEMALE PLAYER EVER, was crying in pain, trying to stay up there.
That was good television. Even I felt sorry for her and I can’t stand her.
I always imagine Jeff laughing to himself during the challenges. He has to be thinking, “I’m making millions from this show and living like a king a few miles from here while you poor bastards starve, backstab each other and make fools of yourselves on national TV for only a million dollars, pretax. Suckers!!!”
Not to mention when all three were dangling from one rope, desperately trying to keep foot contact with the gimble. For my money, that was the most exciting and dramatic 10 seconds in the history of the show.
Absolutely!
Danni wouldn’t do any type of nudity when she was a model, so I doubt very much if she’ll posed for Playboy. It’s not gonna happen.
He doesn’t live like a king at all, though. The crew camps are only marginally better than the Survivor’s camp. Remember his appearance after filming the Amazon? He had lost a tremendous amount of weight from the harsh conditions and looked startlingly frail. He said this site was the most brutal for the crew yet, with no real relief from the heat.
But damn, I’m glad the man is coming back for another 5 seasons! It just wouldn’t be the same without his snarking on and needling and taunting those fools!
:smack: “this site” meaning Guatamale, of course.
Wait … what? Really? I heard somewhere (probably on the ‘Net somewhere, but I don’t remember) that the crew stays somewhere pretty nice. Rumor has it that the resort in Panama was very nice (which might explain why they keep going back there). I know there is a “base camp” close to where the action happens, but I thought (or assumed, maybe?) there was a nicer place just offsite. Certainly "losers’ lodge" can’t be all bad - there’d be riots if, say, Jerri had to stay somewhere gross until they sent her home.
From what I’ve read, Jeff stays in a tent camp close by in case they need him at a moment’s notice.
I’m sure they have power and A/C in the tents, and some form of shower, but he is still out doors much of the time.
We got to see a crew camp in Survivor: Australia after Michael went face first into the campfire. It wasn’t anything too luxurious, but there was a hut and cots. No air conditioning, but they don’t have to sleep on the ground…
Also, wasn’t the “Survivor Bar” where Wigglesworth won a visit to in the first Survivor actually part of the crew compound? I seem to recall that…
I believe that was where the crew spent their evenings, yes–and wasn’t it Jenna who won that?
No, it was Kelly. She got to see the first 10 minutes of the first-ever episode.
The Survivor: Amazon series was filmed near the city of Manaus, Brazil and the location of the film sight was less than five kilometers from the Ariau Amazon Towers hotel, a resort hotel which was used as the production base sight. I assume most of the crew, and probably Probst as well, spent their time near the camps rather than the hotel but they weren’t all trapped in the wilderness.
I agree that he wouldn’t play Survivor but I was flipping through Newsweek yesterday and saw an ad. I thought to myself, “Hmmm…Gary Hogeboom got an ad spot.”
It was Favre.
Why not? He’s probably retiring anyway (about 1 season late, but whatever).
But, yeah, he’s showing his age* not only on the field, but I saw his news conference last night and he’s definitely got a Hodgeboom look to him lately.
*Although he’s not all that old. I think he’s in his mid-30s, right?
Good guess. According to his official bio (pdf) he’s 36.
I thought so, but he’s certainly looking a lot older, isn’t he?. Maybe it’s spending all that time outdoors. My husband and I are in our mid-30s and are mostly indoor people, so we look a lot younger than he does.
Favre’s been through a lot in the last few years, personally, which could be taking a toll on his looks and his game.
Oh, this is the Survivor thread, isn’t it? Sorry.
He’s gone pretty gray in the last 2 years. Plus he got his hair a lot shorter and I think it’s more noticeable. Plus he lost a lot of weight from last year to this. Throw in that he only shaves about twice a week and he may look like Gary did after 3 weeks, but their body types are still fairly different.
