The only reason I don't buy that "be nice to the jury" "social game" bullshit is because 99.9% of jurors would have done the same thing if they had the chance. I have no problem calling the person who gets the majority of the votes winner, but jurys can suck. If you make it all the way to jury, leave the game, and think it has anything to do with honor/integrity/positive moral attributes you haven't learned a thing and odds are you're a shitty juror.

Does taking home the $ really make one a winner? Look what it did to Aras!

Much like being dumped may possibly be the best thing that ever happened to Melissa Rycroft. Is this listing CORRECT? Gold: Elisabeth - dream job + cure of undiagnosed illness + marriage to former professional athlete Silver: Melissa - cast for another reality series (DWTS) + dream job + marriage and probably a better one than one from a fake TV series Bronze: Heidi - marriage to World Series MVP + Playboy spread Just misses a medal: Amber: national tv coverage of marriage but only married to another Survivor contestant; invites to play TAR, future Survivor seasons ETA-aware Melissa not on Survivor, off top of my head can't think of other reality tv performers who went as far except for AI contestants.

In hindsight, BRob was bought back, in effect, as one of two players (male and female) from Marquesas? Did they invite the right woman from Marquesas with Kathy over Vee, Neleh and Tammy. Yes, Kathy was the bigger character. But should BRob, a pre juror, have been bought back over Sean Rector? Of course not. To his credit BRob did go out and play his best game in ASS and that's what we should concentrate on.

I think Sean Rector WAS invited back for ASS, but declined. But why they went directly to Boston Rob instead of John afterwards, I don't know. But Boston Rob is way more amazing than John, so I'm not complaining.

It doesn't make you a winner in life, but it does make you winner of a game show. Which is what Survivor is.
And since today is the Superbowl, here's another analogy: Terry Bradshaw is not a greater QB than John Elway because Terry Bradshaw has four rings and John Elway only has two. But Terry Bradshaw did win more Superbowls. The end. |

I think in the end, no matter how you play the game. What counts is getting those votes at the end.

Well it was that or the fact that all these people of melanin deficient European ancestry live in Southern California and spend too much time on the beach, which rots their skin and makes 30 year olds look 50. Meanwhile, Aras looks like he's doing the whole "Joaquin Phoenix w/beard" schtick because Aras now has a band and you can't be a pretty boy with a faux hawk and have a band, -SJ™ |
