SURVIVOR

And then he stuck his feet into the pot they use for boiling water to potability. They didn't like that plantars wart tea. He was soon evicted.

That Brandon incident was... scary.  I thought he was unhinged on his first season and kind of couldn't believe that they invited him back to play a second time, but when he flew off the rails like that it was like watching a slow-motion train wreck.

Yeah, he's obviously a very troubled young man. When he finally quit, I certainly did not envy the position Probst was in - that could have turned very ugly very fast.

I like listening to all the interviews he does with people after they get voted out. You learn about a lot of behind the scenes stuff that wasn't shown.

I listen to The Survivor Know-It-Alls and the longer episodes with past favorites where they talk about the latest episode and give their opinions on whose playing well and not but I don't generally listen to the interviews with voted off players.

Yes, I like that too. I'm just obsessed with behind the scenes gossip/etc, so interviews are my favorite lol. Good stuff!

The interviews the voted-off players give have never struck me as interesting. The ones I've listened to have either seemed whiny, or seemed like they were trying to make themselves out to be better players than they might actually have been.

Probably a selection- and confirmation-bias there seeing as I've only listened to a handful, but there you go.

I like the behind-the-scenes stuff, too. I used to watch the Ponderosa videos every week but the last good season for juicy Ponderosa stuff was Philippines because of the issues between RC and Abby-Maria. Well.... maybe not. I can't remember if Philippines came before or after South Pacific which had some interesting Ponderosa stuff, but for sheer entertainment value, Philippines-Ponderosa was better.

Yeah, the exit vignettes are enough for me. I don't really need to hear the butthurt from those that were voted off. If you were all that and a bag of chips, you'd still be in the game, yes?

[Clueless Morgan]

LOL If you were all that and had a bag of chips on Survivor, you'd be voted out so that the other players could eat your chips.

Interesting fact. The Survivor Theme song has roots coming from this Russion folk song:

I'm disappointed Shane didn't make the cut, that dude is good TV.  Troyzan too.

If you're going to bring Stephen back, bringing back J.T. is the right thing to do.  Sadly, it didn't happen.

Joe doesn't win unless he wins immunity a zillion times.

Keith surprised me in Blood & Water - my first impression of him was that he was just a dumbass, but the guy made it deep on merit and I think he has a shot to get underestimated again.

I honestly don't remember a lot about the women who made the cut - I'm shit with names and I don't recognize the faces without weeks of caked-on dirt.  That's surprising to me considering how many really strong female players there have been over the last ten or so seasons.

I agree about Joe and Keith.  For me, the women are hard to recognize wearing more than a bra and shorts.  I never forget a boob.
