Rob was there last season too in the audience, talking about his baby. ---

> [@Mahaloth](#): > > What’s Bill Cosby’s riff on the 10 commandments? There’s an old Bill Cosby standup routine, and I’m pretty sure the Ten Commandments thing was only a small part of it, where he makes fun of Edward G. Robinson as Dathan, doing the “Where (or who)'s your messiah now?” in Robinson’s gangster voice. I can’t find a damn thing on YouTube, though. ---

Jeff mention the woes “Redemption” in the promo for next season. Wasn’t clear if he meant the 2 former players only or the island again. Hope not. ---

> [@AlsoNamedBort](#): > > I was paying half attention to that clip. Did I mishear or did he say two former players would be returning? Yep. Another RI and another one with returning players. Let’s hope it’s not a rerun of this season, which was all too predictable most of the time. Hey, I just realized, no walk down memory lane on this one. ---

Probst totally snubbed about 5 contestants. Russell’s posse. Sarita. Fran-QUEST-a, Kristina. All women. As I expected, Bad Reunion show. Russell looked emasculated, i guess because of the possible legal action against him by TPTB. Ugh, another Redemption Island, with two returning contestants. Please do not let it be Coach and Phillip. ---

> [@notfrommensa](#): > > Ugh, another Redemption Island, with two returning contestants. Please do not let it be Coach and Phillip. That would be really funny, but they’d both be voted out immediately since no one would want to listen to their BS. ---

Big deal, Rob wins. It’s no big accomplishment. he’s had 4 chances to hone his game and it’s no big accomplishment. Plus, they always bring in a certain amount of stupid players whose only strategy is to let someone else run the game and ride their coattails. This game was clearly meant for Rob or Russell to win. Since Russell left early, they had lots of puzzle challenges that they know Rob is good at. Hmmm, what a coincidence. His poor wife had to sacrifice so much in order for him to play Survivor YET AGAIN. Did they already run out of her million dollar prize winnings? This show has jumped the shark and back again. Quit bringing people back, quit having so many hidden immunity idols, get rid of Redemption Island. Bow out gracefully Survivor, your golden boy finally won and you’ve run out of ideas. ---

My DVR cut out before the end of the reunion show. Who was voted the fan favorite? I’m guessing Rob. ---
