Ok, I was having some serious Survivor withdrawal last night! So I started thinking back to the previous seasons. What are your three favorite memories from each of the five Survivor series'? Mine are: S1- the FIRST Gross Food Challenge; remember Stacy and Gervace and the wriggling white grubs (this was pre Fear Factor so it was the first time stuff like that was on tv) Rudy on the video camera- "I dunno" (I can still make myself smile just thinking about that ) Sue Hawk's snake and rat speech (close runner's up: Richard and the dance when he won the fire building immunity and Greg's coconut phone) S2- Mad Dog sitting in the creek singing torch songs and Tina coming and buddying up to her... all the time planning that MadDog was next to go! Alicia waving her finger in Kimmi's face- "I will ALWAYS put my finger in your face!!" (One of my all time favorite lines EVER!) Colby- "I ain't no chocolate bar" in reference to Jerri and Amber's remarks (runner's up: Keith losing the lock in the shackle race; Tina getting Kimmi to spill the beans about Jeff's vote) S3 - Clarence and the beans!! Yumm! Big Tom running around with the feather in his butt crack! (actually any scene with my all time favorite Survivor Big Tom) Teresa singing "The sun will come out tomorrow!" and winning immunity (runner's up: Lex going balistic about the vote; Ethan and Lex with the goats in the truck) S4- All of the Robfather's speeches to the camera- he was so funny Sean's "always bet on black" comments at TC (close second for my all time favorite line) Kathy losing it all by worrying after all those weeks that she was revealing herself ( runner's up: The "oh my heck" dinner and the mint offer afterwards; someone finally getting smart and toppling the dominant alliance!!) S5- Helen's face when she saw her hubby at the challenge (that was true love!) Shi Ann's face when she realized that the merge hadn't happened Robb's "what really matters" revelation around the campfire (runner's up: Jan's pet cemetary; Clay and Brian on the elephant; Ted's massage...ahhhhhh!) Looking forward to reminiscing with you all!

Aware, I don't think I can match that, but here are a few! S1-- I didn't watch S1 until about the halfway point, but I laughed at Rudy's "I dunno" also. Gervase winning a piece of pizza and giving everyone a bite. I think my favorite was Kelly winning immunity at F4 and Sue knowing she was going bye bye. That was priceless. That whole immunity challenge streak of Kelly's was impressive. I also still remember her doing Yoga one of the last mornings she was on the island. S2-- Anything with Colby! Jerri getting voted off and saying, "Checkmate, you got me." And at the reunion, I laughed my butt off at Mad Dog talking about losing weight out there and how "If I'd been out there any longer, I'd have gotten me a thong!" S3-- Didn't watch much of it, but I did catch Lex's visit to the village or the school and was very impressed with his genuine empathy. S4-- The coconut challenge was priceless. Also the mint and how Neleh sat back and acted like a princess after her cruise. Sean and Pappy's reward challenge was awesome, especially Sean on the horse! I LOVED Sean, especially after Rob left and he stopped being the sidekick and started looking out for himself. S5-- Do you know for the life of me I cannot think of a favorite moment right now? This is my least favorite season, except for maybe S3 which I didn't watch enough of to have a real opinion on. Maybe Shii Ann bonding with the CGs and showing a different side to her personality before her ultimate doom. I liked that side of her and wonder how the game would have gone if they had merged as assumed. S2 and S4 were my favorites. I must like the even numbered seasons. That bodes well for the Amazon! Guess I'll give it a chance after all!

Hermione.... that's funny, I had to think really hard about what would be my favorite memories from S5 too. It was pretty blah wasn't it? I guess it's like that Nash theory says... strong leaders in each tribe, no real conflict= boring. I enjoyed it, but nothing like the early seasons. I liked the first season best because it was so different than anything on tv. I liked Australia pretty well, but really enjoyed Africa. ( I know a lot of people thought it was boring, but I really enjoyed that season- I was really cheering on Tom- who lives near my parents, so maybe that's what made that one exciting for me.) I went along with the Marquesas, but really didn't care who won by the end. Same for this season. I hope you're right about the Amazon....but even when its predictable, I still enjoy Survivor better than 85% of what else is available on TV. Oh yeah, and how could I forget from Season 1: Colleen and Gervase making a target and (sitting) duck on their shirts for Tribal Council with masking tape... and the creation of a new word "Pagonging"!!

Aware, I really wish I had watched the first season from the beginning. The premise sounded so stupid to me and I kept rolling my eyes at it and never gave it a try. Then one day I was hanging out with my sister and she had it on and I was sucked right in! This past season was unsettling to me. Too much of the ugly side of people's natures came out and there wasn't enough genuine humor and camaraderie to balance it out. I think of the seasons that I enjoyed and they had people that really liked each other despite everything. I didn't get that sense this time around, especially after the midpoint of the season. I understand you need the friction and the villains and the drama, but to me, you also need the growth and appreciation and caring. Let me see... other favorite memories... Sean's "Cleopatra" comment about Sarah. Colby and Jerri's "date" that she was obviously so much more into than he was. Tina giving Keith immunity by jumping off the log first. Kathy, errr, helping John out after his sea urchin sting.

africa was my favorite, too. i thought it had a good mix of people, and tom and lex helped make that happen! lex was never my favorite player, but he was an 'out there' 'in your face' guy the last few episodes, so it made for some excitement. everytime i saw tom,i thought of the mixed-up 'yankee doodle' song we used to sing as kids, "stuck a feather in his ass, and...." i knew poor teresa wouldn't win because she was too much like tina. she was a really good player, too. also, hasn't it gone: guy winner, gal winner, guy winner, gal winner, guy winner? so look for a gal to win this next one!! oh, and some of my favorite memories were of brandon, because he was so over-the-top, i kept wondering how he even got selected to go on the show! i know jeff said he was his least favorite player of all the episodes! i couldn't stand brandon, but he was fun to watch! robb's godfather act also was funny. and neleh's mint--that was currently in her mouth, but she'd share?! i think that alone cost her the million dollar prize!!

Brandon and the flaming arrow!! This season? hmmmmm Pretty lame moments, Jan getting drunk, Robb getting stung, I guess Magilla was the best this time around, stealing food while they were away at tribal council. I was happy that Brian had to eat that tarantula; for all he won, he really owed us that.

I think it could be considered a classic moment when Brian had to eat the tarantula. Up until that moment, he was pretty much all about manipulating someone else into doing his wishes. The moment he opened that dish and saw that tarantula, he was all alone. He even looked briefly like he was going to look around to see who he could get to do this for him. Then he realized it was all up to him.

I've watched all 5 survivors but all of my favorite memorys are in 2&3.I was a big fan of Africa.I wish it got better reviews. Let's see: Survivor 1: Rich sitting in the tree telling everyone to get organized.Rich nude(Need I Say More)Greg and Colleen's going out on their own. Survivor 2:Colby pulling Jerri over that wall making her fall and also throwing that bucket of water at her(all time favorites)Kel and the beef jerky.I'll never forget mike chasing and catching the pig. Survivor 3:Everything ethan was apart of.Frank and his claws.Clarence taking a dump and elephants are close by.Big Tom saving Lindsey from the tick. Survivor 4:Rob and Kathy's meeting.Sean's radio show. I really don't have any real special memories from this last one except watching shii-ann eating that chicken.

I have some favourite one liners from S5: Robb (on losing the reward challenge because members of Sook Jai kept cheating) We didn't lose to the other team, dude. We lost to the rules. Robb- re: voting off Shi Ann- I don't like you, I don't like being around you, it's nothing personal. from these boards: - Robb (on the reunion show) looked like Buckwheat in leather from the interviews: - Helen commented that during the final show, Brian told Helen, "It's been a pleasure." She replied, "Is that the name of one of your movies?"

Survivor is my all time favorite show, so here goes my favorite moments: S1 - Richard and his scheming, especially his saying at the beginning that the 1 million check had his name on it - and then it turned out to be true! The real hit was all the quirky personalities on this one - Rudy was priceless, as was Sue, Greg, Colleen, Jenna. S2 - The hit of this one was having Jeri around to stir the pot. I also appreciated the Kimmi foibles and the Jeff Varner catty comments. Jeff should definitely be a gossip columnist! S3 - I am still waiting for an episode to feature the yummy Ethan - it seemed like they could never show him often enough for my taste, as he is one beautiful man. If I were out there, I would have voted him off first as too much competition! I also liked the "Walking Thesaurus" comment. I was so happy that they had the presence of mind to get rid of Silas and that Frank and Theresa did not get Pagonged early by their own tribe. S4 - I loved how Kathy, Neheleh and Pappy turned the tables on the dominant alliance. I think they are the only ones to ever figure out that they needed to do that! S5 - I enjoyed the family atmosphere of Chuay Ghan. It seemed to me that they truly liked each other, regardless of the fact that they had to turn on each other at the end. To me it is just fascinating to watch how different personalities react/interact under stressful conditions. That is the overriding reason that I like all reality shows, and Survivor in particular.

OMG.... how could I forget Colby dumping Jerri over the fence and Brandon and the flaming arrows!!! How about Big Tom saying "That gal was as nervous as a wh*re in church!"? Rodger diving off that cliff for his team! I wish they would show a "best of" show with those old clips from the first seasons. I never thought I would be wishing for reruns!!! Was it just me or did I see Ethan on a commercial the other day? It had lots of famous people in a waiting room.... don't remember the product but I could have sworn I saw Ethan say something!
