(+) Yeah! (+)

If the promo for South Pacific is any indication, it looks to me like the 2 returning players are going to be Eric from Micronesia and Matt from RI.

Oh. So it's Survivor: Dumb and Dumber.

Matt said he would never do Survivor again, which is why I'm hesitant to think that promo had any indication. Matt was more the token "RI" player this season, so I think that makes more sense as to why he was shown on the promo. Erik as well, a player who probably made the biggest blunder in Survivor history, would be due for a "redemptive" chance, so I can see why they'd show him too.

I think if Matt were to pull a more 'JT in HvV-like' persona he could be worth a return. I don't really care to see Erik come back and I honestly don't think he will, but who knows.

I'd personally rather see Matt and Andrea (even though I know this decision would get some flak).

Oh, and I really don't want to see Coach vs. Phillip. I've had enough of both of them for the time being.

It hasn't been taped yet, right? So there's no indication on who should be returning?

It'll start taping next month, probably around the 14th. So about a month from now.

There's no indication on who is returning, yeah. However, I think it's worth noting that players like Erik, Shambo, Jane, and Brenda (and one last person IIRC) were brought up at the beginning of the season in those "What would have happened if they returned?" promos building up RI.

--
ziggie ziggie wop wop

Never got that here in Canada T_T

Do recruited people who never seen Survivor watch all the previous season before they go on the show? Would totally love it if they bring someone back and there are confused faces that say "who are these returning guys!?"

They only watch maybe 1 season. Russell only watched Micronesia (hence his attraction to Parvati), and I'm sure they gave out HvV to all the recruits for this season.

I'd like to see Brenda vs. Parvati, but that's not happening so >__>

I don't think this is necessarily a "vs" thing unless they pick two people who feuded, like, say, Marty and Jane. Rob vs Russel was just because of the challenge at the finale. I think, strangely (since THIS season was called redemption) that they will be picking people who need "redemption" for some reason rather than a big fight.

Question:

If Ashley had won the final immunity challenge (and it appeared she was very close), do you think she would have won Survivor? I think Rob made a very underrated move in asking her to work together, it showed that he was committed to bringing her to the Final 3 with him and Natalie (even though he obviously wasn't). Do you think Rob was going home if Ashley won?

--
http://i.min.us/in27yg.gif

I think it could be either/or. This season was Rob v. Russell, but I hesitate to ever call a Matt v. Andrea over a Matt and Andrea (hence why I say Matt and Andrea, and not versus).

Either way, if it's a versus like this season, I'd hate to see Marty vs. Jane. Or any of the above, really.

--

Colby vs Jerri

oh wait that feud was too old school, since they didn't really feud in HvV. Colby desperately needs that challenge redemption though!

--
boring and mundane signature
Now with more bold! Less Italics due to bold

I honestly don't know what the girls would have done had Ashley won the FIC. Natalie was very close to Rob and she probably would have voted with him to oust Phillip. It's very possible Rob could have misled Phillip into voting Natalie and gotten Natalie to vote with him against Phillip, with Ashley either voting against Rob or Phillip.

--
ziggie ziggie wop wop

Essentially though I don't ever see Natalie getting taken out. Even while the episode was airing last night and I was running through the possible scenarios did I see Natalie reaching the FTC in every one of them (and this was with Andrea at the F5).

--

also "aww yeah" rob bringing me the fantasy victory

Parvati vs. Sandra, but both of them might not want to play again.

--
90s games > 00s games

parvati said she was done after hvv

dunno if she has changed her mind

sandra said on the RTVzone recaps that she would do it again, she doesn't seem to care about her "legacy" and just wants more money lol

Yeah that's what I thought too. Phillip would have went and Rob still would have won. It actually probably would have been unanimous since Phil would vote for Rob and Ralph probably would too without Phil there.

Wow, just finished BB4.

Most. Awkward. Ending. Ever.

In any reality TV show I've ever seen.

The moment the door was opened and the houseguests walked in with the votes? So awkward. The winner reveal? So awkward. The aftermath? So awkward.

And them being shown the diary room tapes before the reunion? Hahahahaha. So. Awkward.


Michelle was a cutie. Damn that crappy elite eight alliance.

Anyway, onto BB5.

BB5 has the invention of a strategic move so good, that they had to modify the rules in future seasons to prevent it from being so effective.

I would love nothing more than to see Sandra come back, fail miserably at the initial challenge, and be the first person voted off of her tribe.

SL, are you talking about "The Six-Finger Plan"?

--
ziggie ziggie wop wop

I guess this is the invention of "backdooring". I know they didn't change this in BB6, as it was brought up numerous times with James.

But yeah, brilliant plan. loljase

--
ziggie ziggie wop wop

It's amazing how there's still 9 people in the house and they all love each other (well, maybe sans Cowboy). I guess that's what happens when you find a common enemy in Jase/Scott and get to see them walk out back-to-back.

--
ziggie ziggie wop wop

It was more ironclad than a backdooring. From the second Nakomis won HoH there was nothing Jase could have done to not be evicted.

Well, it was a backdooring. The most to-the-point backdooring I've ever seen.

--
ziggie ziggie wop wop

Got my "Ometepe!" buff. yeeeee :)

--
ziggie ziggie wop wop

SL, are you talking about "The Six-Finger Plan"?

Yeah, backdooring. They changed it now so that when you play for the veto, you can't directly pick who you want to play in it--instead you randomly draw names from a bag to prevent this kind of complete control.

BB5's ending was so much better than BB4's.

Now... onto All-Stars!

Also 2 > 6 > 3 > 5 > 4.

2 or 7 is the best season.

oh god they're voting people into the house

I'm going to be disappointed if a few don't get in.

I wouldn't care to see Monica, Bunky, Dana, Erika, Nakomis, Diane, or Ivette get in. I also don't know a thing about George, but I'm pretty sure he gets in since BB1 needs a representative.

so there is room for disappointment. hmmmm.

--
ziggie ziggie wop wop

oh yay they expanded the roster to 14 people

yessssssss

--
ziggie ziggie wop wop

wtf erika was #2? wow america.

--
ziggie ziggie wop wop

wow nakomis #3.

>_>

--
ziggie ziggie wop wop

okay i guess diane getting in isn't that bad. she was feisty.

--
ziggie ziggie wop wop

Seriously Diane is reading my mind: "how erika got in i don't know. she doesn't deserve to be an all-star."

hey sounds like amber

--
ziggie ziggie wop wop

All you need to know about George from S1 is that despite being a 40 year old dude he pretty much did everything could do to have an absolute blast while he was in the house, including dying his hair green because people thought it would be funny.

People had just spent an entire season watching the Friendship be horrible people who constantly preached about how they were awesome and how no one in America could like the other side of the house.

It was like America's final middle finger to the Nerd Herd.

xd jase read my mind! "did i just time warp into bb6?"

--
ziggie ziggie wop wop

Yeah, Julie going out of her way to tell us that the nerd herd were the least likable alliance ever was funny. I can understand James getting in. I guess Will was just so far back in a lot of peoples memory.

--
ziggie ziggie wop wop

Also, since I know George, Will, and Boogie get in, I guess I have to say I'm surprised to see Marcellas not get in. I thought he was pretty popular.

oh wait wtf

so guys get the upperhand

--
ziggie ziggie wop wop

Okay so Monica, Lisa, Ivette, and Dana didn't get in. And then Bunky and Cowboy (poor guy).

I can live with this. Swap out Erika for Lisa and it'd be ideal.
