This is already the greatest post-game interview ever. Fabio is fantastically crazy.

I got a sense that if given the chance, she’d be more than happy to put the three of them in a cage match and bang whoever came out alive right there on the spot.

Does anyone have a complete list of how much money each place earns in the show? I know it is $1 million for the winner, but what is the complete breakdown?

I don’t care about Chase’s singing career. I don’t care about Terry Bradshaw and what he thinks about Jimmy Johnson.

I think three teams a season rather than two would change this game up

I had a bit of a panic attack when Jeff kept talking about families that the next season would be a family version.

So Shannon’s still a dick, no surprise there.

Why do we care about Rob’s kid?

Boston Rob and Russell are in the audience, {sigh}

edit…then again, maybe that is not it.

Well that’s stupid. Reminds me of a Real World/Road Rules Challenge.

Awww, just look at the cute widdle baby and ain’t she cute?? That’s why we care.

Survivor 22 looks horrible. It’s a ripoff of some Israeli variation of the game, right?

I know Rupert may be missing a step as he reaches 50, but I still think he could win a “duel” with Cirie.

Did Jeff directly address Tyrone, Yve, Purple Kelly, and Benry?

He asked Tyrone to remark on a question that somebody else had said, but the others not at all.

Tyrone was my initial pick to win, and Yve in F6. Oh well.

I think Cirie could open a can of whoop-ass on Coach though.

So, assuming this is based of the Israeli version:

> [@](#):
>
> The Israeli version introduced the Island of the Dead. Every person voted out is brought to the island, and had to compete with the person already staying there, for the right to stay on the island for at least another three days. When only three contestants remained, the winner of the last battle of the island returns to the game.

Seems like a really bad idea. Didn’t they learn their lesson the last time they brought castaways back? Hopefully the “duels” are a mix of physical and mental challenges.
