In an attempt to either fuel the flames or douse the fire, I was trying to find out in past season how often the 1st place winners didn't win a prize, but couldn't find the prize list just the winners.......anyone know how we can either further this conspiracy theory or put it to rest??

Because of scandals that arose with the $64,000 Question show loooooooooong ago, any show that awards money has to file a a "game" plan long before the show begins. Such a plan specifies what happens when like non-elimination rounds, what prizes are awarded each show, etc. I have a friend whose TV station manager husband has shared this info with me so I believe it to be accurate.

I don't know the exact answer to your question Tex other than to say they get prizes more frequently than they did in the early seasons and I believe they have become progressively more frequent as each season has come.

Kep, it doesn't hurt my feelings and I'm not disputing that Rob is a liar. I was simply curious about the "infamous" lie that Clio was referring to because I'm with Lexie about that prize going to Johnny Fairplay.

the biggest lie to me was Jerri accusing that guy of having beef jerky. Got him voted out of survivor.

and Lexie continues to spread the gnome love around! ... Clio, thanks for the info! I do vaguely remember that alliance between Kathy and Rob. As much as I love reality shows, after awhile the details don't stick anymore. Now, I'm off to refresh my brain on Zoe...

Ok...Zoe, I remember now. (thanks for the link Clio) Maris, I read somewhere (in the last few mos., not back when that Surv. season was fresh) that Kel really did have that beef jerky. This will probably never die, we'll never know.

I don't know why I care, but Rob and Amber won four episodes, per CBS, and one of those was the "to be continued" in Lucknow, where they had no pitstop, what prize did they win there?

Maris, In an interview, not all that long ago, Jeff said that it was possible for someone to sneak jerky on. They check the bags but do not rip open linings. I walked away thinking that Jeff thought it was true though he did not say it outright.

Some people believe that CBS orchestrated Survivor in order to hand over a million dollars to Rupert...But that "giveaway" was no where near as blatant as this Rob & Amber giveaway show.... The first couple to arrive at the first pitstop always get a prize...after that, there is a pattern in all the previous AR seasons. Either all pitstops have prizes or prizes are handed out after the 4th or 5th pitstop. This AR season gives a prize to the first couple on the first pitstop, then only to Rob and Amber...regardless of when they come in first. The only way I won't believe this whole show was a set up is if Rob and Amber don't come in first.

interesting way to see a pattern, either they get a prize or they don't LOL Man, Debbie and Bianca stole Rob and Amber's money...CBS must have been pissed! OK, if this is a set up and it's rigged for R/A to win, are the other teams in on it? Are they not doing well in challenges just to make sure that R/A win? Man, that is pretty cool that CBS can somehow buy off all these other teams to make sure they don't do their best or somehow falter, so that Rob and Amber win. It must be in the script for certain teams to hit the mat first just to 'make things look fair', but then wouldn't CBS compensate them somehow..oh, I don't know, like giving them a first place prize to appease them? Well, no that won't work cause only R/A are supposed to get prizes......so wonder how they are paying all these other teams to keep quiet and not win?????

Csnog, you're right. The CBS site confused me... Leg 5 was that episode that was the special two hour episode, non-elim in the first hour and elimination in the second. So Ray and Deena came in first in the first hour, and won two Toyota 4x4s. Second hour they were eliminated. That's what got me so confused when I went back to CBS to see... the Leaderboard there says Ray and Deena used their ff and were eliminated in leg 5. But the story says, about halfway through, that Ray and Deena step onto the mat first and win a prize. A whole bunch of digging and clarifying with the BF, I've got it figured out.

Welllll, they have to throw in a couple of prizes to others to make it not look sooo bad. What happens is that when Phil sees who is coming then he can give out the prize. That way they can make sure they feather Rob & Amber's nest!

Inside scoop re. upset TAR producers! You see someone forgot to tell Phil what Rob and Amber look like and he confused them with Debbie and Bianca on the first leg and accidentally awarded Debbie and Bianca the prize. Now the real question is which one he mistook for Rob!
