I've always wondered how Bubba was able to wear a Bob Barker shirt during Vanuatu. Was that really pre approved? Did CBS want to advertise or something?

Eliza, can you answer this or would you not know?

Bob Barkers son?

Is he really insistent on bringing Bob Barker or is he really that dumb? I don't want to say dumb in a negative sense, but there is a word out there that
he will only align with Chris only because he trusted men with ponytails.
Also, why the hell Scout picked Bubba when it turns out that he cannot swim at all? |

She divided the tribes, then Sarge picked which one he wanted to join (which as a result picked which one Scout would join).

^ Craig has made it clear that between Eliza and Parvati, he prefers Parvati (Such a low blow to say that in Eliza's thread, I know, sorry Craig) Ironically, I think it's because Eliza alligned with Parvati's nemesis that Craig tipped the scales in Parv's favor actually. Actually I think I'd click with Eliza much better in real life. It's just that Parvati and Cirie played the strategy I was hoping for in S16 and that I thought would lead to a girl finally winning. Yes, my animus against Jonathan is mostly because of what he did to Candice and Parvati in S13, and otherwise he's a cool guy in lots of ways. Jonanthan > Shane as a Survivor character and person. However, I think Randy would be more popular around here if he was being a grouch to girls like Danielle or Parvati. But his enemies were Crystal and Sugar, both Sucks favorites (who I don't care for). Sucks hated Raro and loves Fang for some odd reason Regarding Social Game Let's look at the facts. Randy got into the majority alliance at the beginning (Matty, Dan, Susie). He bonded more closely with Kota than anyone else switched. He leaves the game on good terms with Marcus, Charlie, Corinne, Randy, and Matty. We don't know why Sugar hates him so, they were hardly together. Sugar took Jonathan role at the food auction, as the person who just turned on their tribe and then becomes obnoxious to the betrayed minority. It's not like Randy mutinyed on two alliances. It's not like Fang hates Randy so much they threatened Marcus with jury votes and got Kota to boot him. Nobody on Kota said Randy was "an obnoxious force" the way Sundra did. And Cirie vs Jonathan in S16 reminds me a bit of Crystal vs Randy, except Cirie is way nicer. Jonathan and Randy both bonded with some, but have a way of repelling others. Eliza alligning with Jonathan made it hard to bring in Cirie the needed swing vote. The same way Charlie alligning with Corinne and Randy made it hard to bring in Sugar at the merge.

He got into a majority alliance both times because of luck. No way he allies with Crystal/GC/Kenny after calling them thugs and saying he hated how they ran the game, so out of hatred for them he's going to join Susie/Matty/Dan. And then in the swap Kota took him in because they didn't trust Dan because of the idol issues and Susie, for god knows why. Randy only left the game on good terms with the last alliance he was with. Everyone else he left on nasty terms with because he was such a scumbag. And the terms he left with the rest of the players clearly was a result of his disgusting behavior, telling people to shut the fuck up and throwing hissy fits about cookies. |

I think Randy was probably a more astute Survivor player than Jonathan, and didn't show his hand so much. People seemed to catch on to Jonathan's paranoia and opportunism pretty easily. But if you want to compare a devoted husband and family man to a misanthropic loner who prefers the company of dogs, it's obvious which one is going to have more developed social skills. |

She just ruined part of that season for me and I absolutely hated her on these episodes. also, it was kinda a dumb move of her since Eliza and Ami didn't seem to be a 100% into Jonathan and according to Eliza on this thread they made a final 3 alliance before Cirie made the same with Parvamanda. Micronesia was AMAZING entertaniment-wise, but my favorites didn't do so well. |

We saw up through Sherea's boot episode before we left so yes, I knew Amanda and James, but we hadn't seen the conclusion of the season. I had been reading spoilers and knew James was on the jury somewhere and Amanda was final three with Courtney and Todd. I actually thought Amanda had won (based on spoilers)...but couldn't understand why she would have been there if she had. (Guess it should have tipped her off, too...) |

You could have tipped off Parvati too that she had nothing to worry about based on ep.1-4 edgic.
Even if the public thought Amanda was unbeatable towards the end. You mean like Randy's astute strategy of ... putting all of his faith in onion as their disposable 4th wheel?Most vehicles require 4 wheels. Unless you think of the Onion is a tricycle. :) |

craig wrote:We have the same rules for our publicity photos as we do for the jury: pretty much wear whatever you want as long as it's not a blatant logo. I chose to wear my black bikini and jean skirt. Parv decided to wear a dress. They should never have approved the shorts for Amanda in China, but I guess they didn't see them on her and didn't realize how short they were. Alexis chose and sent in her own bathing suit. If you choose something impractical, that's not SEG's problem. In Vanuatu, Leann chose a bathing suit with a plastic clip keeping it together in the center. Well, clearly it broke and she used twine from treemail to tie her bathing suit back together. If you notice, in both of my seasons, I wore bathing suits that I could tie tighter and tighter as I lost weight (I intended to last a long time) and they didn't have clips or pieces that could break. Clothing is strategic, too! :) |

Eliza, were you shocked to see on TV that Amanda and Ami showered naked together on that reward challenge? |
