The Wizard is Coach's loved one! Who is Coach's loved one going to be? Will he bring out his assistant coach again? Or perhaps an assistant conductor?

He received a final tribal council vote, unlike Mr Fishcrap. Kthxbye. Here is my question about this post. Are you 1) ACTUALLY functionally retarded? or 2) So full of vitriol that you are willing to make statements that you know are incredibly stupid just to get a burn? Like you want so badly to diss me that you're willing to make yourself look like a complete moron to do so? I'm not sure which is worse. To actually -be- a total idiot or to be such a douchebag that you're willing to seem like a total idiot. Thank you for raising this fascinating conundrum. And the legend owns!

I'm sure it's the asst coach again since Tyson and JT must have refused. At least the asst gets a free trip out of it. It must be hard making a living on the bagels and bananas that Benji is paying him.

I like DDL too, but she lost because people liked and respected her a LOT less than Aras (of all people).

Sally and Austin were pissed at her for going back on her promise to take Terry to the F2, because they wanted him to win. Cirie had an alliance with Aras (who stuck with her at the F4 by voting for Danielle) so she returned the favour.

He was a great player who controlled most of the game and was so under the radar with his way of doing it that most ppl didnt even knew that he ran the show. He just sucked at FTC.

The problem with a "Brains vs. Brawn" season is that presumably/hopefully, the alliance structure would be too complex for TV. Already they have trouble communicating the vagaries of the strategic situation.

Others are repetitive characters (Isn't it a little redundant to have Kenny, Cochran and David Murphy on the same tribe?), lack of popular women on either side, and most importantly: What would the challenges be? They can't fairly do anything with strength or intelligence, so the challenges would all be balance or luck.

Make it like some of the Heroes vs Villains challenges , some physical elements with strong puzzle elements. Heroes were so physically lopsided superior to the villains tribe that it looked like a cakewalk for the heroes but one key player for the villains stood out - Rob who pretty much carried his tribe to almost a cleansweep of the challenges. His leadership and puzzle skills was the difference maker , so often the heroes would be well in front in the challenge only to get bogged down by the puzzle and then the villains would catch up and Rob would win it for them. Once Tyson & Rob went out , the villains did not win a single challenge.

On the challenge side , Tyson was Rob's no.2 like Grant but it was still Rob that was the decisive factor in the villains win in all those challenges prior.

As for the challenges, Tyson may be a 'professional athlete' and younger but BRob beat Tyson in the one IC in the HvV premerge. It also happened to be the same exact IC that Tyson actually WON in Tocantins so he was the favorite going in to win it. BRob was the heart of the Villains' challenge domination.

I would be partial to a Winners vs. Losers edition myself, i.e. winners against runner-ups. I mean, can you imagine the epic FTC after the unstoppable alliance of Amanda, Russell and Stephen saws through the competition? Stephen would have that one in the bag.

They get to hand pick their favorites when they cast All Stars. John has the benefits of both being (1) more recent, (2) more of a caricature, and (3) more polarizing than I am. I would say my major asset is "being good at Survivor," which is obviously not a qualifying criterion when they cast All Star seasons. Also you really never know who the first boot is going to be. In Micronesia it was supposed to be Parvati. In HvV it was supposed to be Parvati. It all depends on the social dynamics when you hit the ground. Basically, I mean - if John were cast with a bunch of his friends, they might prefer to keep him around over someone they didn't like but who was better in challenges. All true, but John is a quadruple threat: he's terrible at challenges, lazy around camp, untrustworthy and emotionally draining because he'll suck the life out of you in a futile attempt to feed his constant need for reassurance (and then he'll still flip on you). I guess I was sugar coating it when I described Cochran as a nervous Nelly with a Revenge of the Nerds complex.
