Survivor: One World May 13 2012 "Perception is Not Always Reality"

Who was the one that carved a Blackberry out of driftwood and looked at the camera with Jerry Springer eyes and said “I’m talking to people . . . not on the island.”

Oh gosh yes now I recall, I borrowed a friends DVD’s of that season and watched it and do recall what happened to him. Yeah then let it be him to blind side Colton or have an confrontation with him.

That was the Australian Outback but didn’t one of the women, I think it was Tina swim in the water and get their rice back for them?

Yeah, I think they did recover some of it, but the looks on their faces when they first saw what happened.

That was also the season where Colby handed $1M to Tina a silver platter. Now he’s hosting some B rated reality show on The History Channel or someplace.

Hey, Top Shot is a neat show! I’ll bet he’s got more money than Tina has got right now.

LOL yes I remember that and thinking that he is insane! I saw the ads for his reality show a few months ago. Poor Colby, he could not cut it in All Stars or Heroes Vs. Villains.

I met Michael Skupin back when season 2 aired. He actually seemed like a pretty nice, normal guy. He still had his cast on.

For anyone who is having trouble remembering the three spoiled names, or who doubt if those will be the actual three people:[spoiler]At the end of Sunday’s finale when they showed the promo material for next season explaining the gimmick, those three people featured prominently.

Also, not related to anything, Jonathan Penner was a reasonably successful actor. His highest profile gig was probably being one of the two leads (opposite Sherilyn Fenn) in a 90s Showtime sitcom that ran for three seasons called Rude Awakening.[/spoiler]

Regarding villians on Survivor: I’m okay with someone who is devious and dishonest in the context of the game, I find that enjoyable to watch. I don’t enjoy watching a racist spout hateful crap. If Survivor is not enjoyable to watch, I won’t watch it.

That was Shane Powers. He was also a 3 packs/day smoker right up until they started filming, which may have inspired some of his craziness.

Too late to edit - here’s a clip of Shane & his wooden blackberry:

Jump to 0:50 or so for the crazy eyes.

We affectionately called him “Inshane”, IIRC.

Colton’s been tweeting this entire season, but filming for Survivor: Philippines started in March and wrapped just before the season finale aired. Can’t be Colton.

[spoiler]Russell Swan’s tribe was dominating Russell Hantz’s tribe when he passed out in an immunity challenge. Had Swan not “died”, it’s possible the entire Hantz family franchise would have been squashed early on.

Jonathan Penner was key to the two big moves on Cook Islands (his first season) in Yul’s victory as we discussed earlier in the thread. Jonathan got an infection in his knee in Micronesia.[/spoiler]

I thought the same thing…a scar would be noticable. But as I was watching the reunion show, at the 22 minute, 24 second mark, right after she says “and I am a hundred percent…”, she starts moving around. To the left of the CBS logo, you can see a very thin shiny scar.

So it seems that her tribemates would have seen it and possibly asked about it. Which makes me wonder if her revelation at the final tribal council was news to them or if it was a manufactured moment by the producers.

Well, Kim was just that good. I mean she had everyone buffaloed into think Kim was going to take them with her all the way, and then at the end she won challenge after challenge. Sure, it was a little boring, but she was a gifted player on many levels.

I agree with most everyone- whatever, who-ever- NO COLTON!!!

Sure, there were villians before, but Colton’s just a racist entitled escape’ from the Jerry Springer show. Bring him back and you might as well start stocking the island with folding chairs- and making the next game “Transexual hookers vs guys who got teens pregnant”.

No doubt, 3 Russells was at least 1 too many, but he was fun to hate. Colton- you just hate, like that “grandma’s dead liar”.

And also- Jeff? Don’t mix returnees with newbies. Too unfair.

I suggested a Survivor: Jerry Springer several years ago.

We came up with a these contestant profiles:

(1) Tranny
(2) Hooker
(3) Gigolo
(4) Dominatrix
(5) Gay for Pay Porn model
6) Morbidly Obese
(7) pregnant teen
(8) bigamist
(9) anorexic
(10) guy addicted to porn
(11) girl looking for sugar daddy
(12) cougar
(13) Nazi Skin-head
(14) Amish Rumspringer kid
(15) Elvis Impersonator
(16) Goth
(17) Rehabbing Junkie
(18) Normal person.

That ratings gold, Jerry. Gold!
