I thought it was cool hearing how Bob got his materials and all. He really played a good game, always thinking ahead. I liked the part where Suga told him she would vote for Matty so it would be a tie and he goes off "to be alone for awhile" so he can practice making fire.

See, and to me, it sounded like Bob was lying through his teeth the whole time he was talking about how he got the materials.... especially when Jeff just so conveniently saved the idol from the fire? Yeah, no. I've been a big fan of this show since the first one in 2000. I've never missed an episode, and believe that it is as real as it can be. But I'm no longer naive enough to believe that there are no scripted or manufactured parts. I believe Bob's idol and Jeff's "saving" it from the fire were all as fake as Ace's accent (didn't buy his story, either).

If you have ever read anything about the tribal councils, then you know that we see only a small bit of them. They go on for hours. So, that idol would have been in the fire far too long to look that good.

What a (censored) Corinne Kaplan was.

I can see them putting her in Playboy or Hustler.
Well I won't see her in those magazines as I don't purchase them.

Yeah, you can easily find the pics online

Has anyone heard if the contestants still get to have a "luxury item"? Several seasons ago the Texan contestant brought a HUGE Texas flag and used it for a shelter cover...just wondering...

Hehehe "Several seasons" = Season two. That was Colby.

I think they are still allowed one, but they are much more strict on the rules. I think that's why they don't play them up as much. They haven't mentioned a luxury item since season 3 or 4, I think.

you forget, yes the talking goes on for a long time, but the votes are already cast when it's time to play any hidden immunity idol, so it gets tossed in the fire, they read the votes, Randy is gone, and the crew is telling Jeff to rescue Bob's Idol.

Well, I've been moving so finally just got a chance to download the past few weeks on my apple tv.

I can't stand Corinne. Sugar did cry a bit to much but Corinne is the fakes person I've seen on Survivor. She's just trying to get attention and I don't think there is ever an excuse to go after a dead loved one like she did whether you think sugar is lying or not. Thats not being a #@$% but its being a bad human being searching for fame on survivor. Trying to out-do those witch girls from an earlier season (which drove me nuts as they did that witches brew thing!).

I wanted Sugar or Bob to win so I'm glad that Bob one. I'm also really happy about the final 4 with the exception of Suzie. She drives me nuts and has done nothing to deserve to be in that 2nd spot.

To be honest I don't even think sugar cared about winning. I'm sure she would like to have a million bucks but really... I think she wanted the best hearted players to win. I'm still lost on why they act like she is such a worthless uneducated bum when she does have a decent amount of movies/shows she has been in. Why do they only call her a pin-up girl instead of an actress too? They never discussed that at all???

The dudes accent... I don't believe is real!

Whats his name... needs to stop crying! Isn't it the girl thats supposed to cry when getting proposed too if there were to be tears? I almost cried in pain watching that scene!

Kenny, why is he playing soooo dumb about bob and not handing over the hidden immunity. He was caught red handed! But yet he kept acting like bob should have given him the idol regardless. Hows that workout?

Ps. I sure would like to see survivor make the surviving part a little tougher again. Watch season 1 and 2 then compare them to this. Season 2 was my favorite and they actually did have a difficult time "surviving". Lets see some blood, sweat and tears

[camay2327]

Right on, drop them off with nothing and see what happens. They would all have wanted Bob on their team. He could make something out of nothing and he did.

He had outdoor/backwoods smarts...

[JLS]

Yeah, I would want the macgyver of survivor on my team thats for sure... Him and Rupert!

[Andrea V]

ozzy james and bob.... that's who I want

My guess is some people lost enough weight that they ended up with some health issues, so they aren't allowing them to starve as much as they used to.

Some of those early seasons also had limited appeal because the castaways had pretty much zero energy, so the show was sort of boring. Watching skinny people lay around complaining about how hungry they are isnt that entertaining.

It also created a huge advantage for anyone who could catch or find food. For the first few years if you were the guy who could use a sling spear and catch fish, you were going to get to the end. Nobody might like you, but you were a source of food.

Still undecided if that change made this more or less appealing as a true measure of survival.

Havent watched the show for a couple of years. I found that among the people there werent any that I really liked or hated. With nobody to root for or against, it got a little boring. The challenges are also pretty much the same recycled dozen or so tests.

It's a working formula, until there ratings drop off, I wouldn't expect a whole lot of changes, but they have added things over the seasons. There never used to be an exile island, individual hidden immunities, it used to be only 2 in the end, now it's 3. This season they mixed it up a little more with changing up the tribes the way they did.

I still think it is the best of all the different "reality" shows on the air.
