Mark Burnett on the jury position for a quitter:
********************

On Survivor: Nicaragua, a twist where two contestants prematurely relinquished the game made for great drama, but anyone who tries to follow in Na'Onka and Purple Kelly's footsteps thinking they will get a place on the jury may want to think again. "It's very unlikely any quitter will be on the jury again," executive producer Mark Burnett told TV Guide Magazine at the OWN TCA party on January 6. "It's an earned position and the only reason those two were on the jury, is that it might have been unfair and that might have affected the winner. That's why we did it."

At the Season 21 finale, host Jeff Probst announced that a new rule would be implemented where it would be at the show producers discretion whether or not a quitter would be allowed a final vote or not. Burnett says there is no firm rule in place yet, but sees one as a necessity. "As long as we know going in that if someone quits they won't be on the jury, there's no hard feelings and there's no legal issue," he says.

Hmmmm - Does Burnett think that we viewers don't know that another whole season has been filmed? I am reading that quote as having been made after this up-coming season was in the can. If they seen the rule as a necessity, why don't they have the rule in place?!?

Yes, this interview is very recent .... and I think the outcry from the public during the airing of #21 is the cause of him saying "a necessity". By the time an outcry came regarding #21, #22 was already in the can.

Frankly, that thing about "at the show producer's discretion" is a bunch of hooey, because that just says they might would do it again. Like he said, a place on the jury has to be earned.....and I say a quitter has not earned it.

I still say that had NaOnka and Kelly Purple not been able to vote, it looks like Chase would have won $1 million. Not that I was rooting for him, but if I were Chase I would feel very cheated. Of course, that's just one person's opinion.

Tribe Names:
Got the tribe names off of TDT this morning.
****************

Rob's tribe is orange buffs: Ometepe
TDT says - "Named after an island formed by two volcanoes rising from Lake Nicaragua in the Republic of Nicaragua"

Russell's tribe is purple buffs: Zapatera
Ginger: On Google it says that Zapatera is the 2nd largest island after Ometepe

So ....... now we know!

I just read about the new Survivors on EW and most of them seem to really dislike Russell. It will be interesting to see how many of the Russell haters end up on his tribe and how they will deal with him. There was only one who actually liked him.

More than a few had Boston Rob as their favorite Survivor. That too will be interesting. So often when we have heros, and see them in the flesh acting like mortals, we end up disliking them.

Lexie - At the end of every year I sorta think through thrills and spills and meeting you was one of last year's thrills!

And back OT, I find Rob much more likeable than Russell. Well, no,. that is not well said - I like Rob, and I don't like Russell!

Sorry, Pamyluv, but that is just how it is!

Well, that is one nice looking ex-football player - he actually played for the Cowboys one season...but looks like most of his season was as a Raider.

Those two being ON the jury also affected the winnner, or who was the winner.. wonder if they thought of it that way. It isn't as if they were voted out..

Yep, Sea ... that's what I said in my Jan. 9th second post. I think Chase got cheated. Without NaOnka and Kelly P's votes, it would have been 4 to 3 in Chase's favor.

Everything I've read from Jeff is that they felt they had to let the girls be on the jury because they had already set a precedent in a much earlier season and let a "quitter" sit on the jury and vote. It must not have effected the end result, and they must not have received too much backlash from it, because they never did anything about it in the rule book. They felt to be fair they had to follow suit, so they let NaOnka and Kelly P. stay on the jury and vote........and it bit them in the backside. It did effect the voting outcome and they have received a cry from the viewing public. They were safe legally cause the rules say almost everything "at the producer's descretion". By the time #21 was aired, they had already filmed #22, but in hindsight I think they now see they have to do something about it in the rules......"everybody knows ahead of time type of thing as to what happens if they quit".....and I believe that's what Mark Burnett was addressing.

I still say Chase was robbed ... and it was not fair.

I SO hope Russell has heard - and is steamed over - Rob's description of him as a "Hobbitt on crack!"

(LOL) TNT ... I had forgotten where that "Hobbitt on crack" statement had come from. Seeing it with the TDT description next to Russell, I thought it was funny, but didn't remember who had originally said it. So, since you said Rob, I did a little searching and found this history:
*************************
Cut and pasted from "Fansofrealitytv.com" --- part of the summary of an episode from Heroes vs Villains:

DON'T TOUCH THAT ROCK

At Villa Villain, the tribe members are gathered round and begin to examine their treasure-trove of handy tools. Russell pulls out a long knife with a serrated blade. Something is rattling in the handle. He unscrews it and there in front of Boston Rob and everybody a piece of paper falls out. Coach grabs it and proceeds to read it aloud. It’s a clue that there’s an Individual Immunity Idol hidden in camp.

Russell can’t believe how careless he’s been, “I grab the knife; I think it’s something to hold the blade in place. I blew it. Man if I could find that hidden Immunity Idol, I will become powerful in this game. No way could I get a clue to the hidden Immunity Idol and not find it.” Judging on his past performance in Samoa, this is not hyperbole. But since when has he needed a clue to find one?

Coach wonders aloud what everyone is thinking, “What are we gonna do?”

The consensus seems to be that the Idol can only cause trouble, that the best thing to do is get on with their shelter-building and let it lie. Russell can stand it for only a few minutes. He announces, “I’m going for a walk” and trots out of camp toward the beach as fast as his stubby legs will allow.

Coach immediately tattles: “What did you say, anybody who goes for the Idol is done?” Rob is annoyed that Russell is acting so stupidly; he sends Sandra to follow him. Watching Russell dig away under the tree where he thinks the clue has directed him, Sandra spits out in disgust, “He’s such a dumb-ass.”

Rob totally agrees with Sandra’s assessment, “Russell, he’s like a Hobbit on crack. Somebody like that, the thing to do is get rid of ‘em right away.”

I wonder if it’s entirely sporting that, in a season of all-stars, not one of the competitors has seen the Samoa season where Russell finds hidden immunity idols the way French pigs root out truffles.

Saw this posted today over at Survivor Blows:
*********************

From EW today:
The former players will each join a tribe after a drawing of concealed buffs and — contrary to internet rumors — they will not be offered any immunity, meaning either one of them could be voted out first (and sent to Redemption Island, where they would be forced to compete to reenter the game). But while Russell may seem like a shoo-in to be the first person out, Probst told EW.com while on location in Nicaragua just minutes after filming on the season began that he doesn’t believe that will be the case. “I do not think Russell or Rob will be the first person voted out of this game. Because I think they bring too much experience — 156 days between the two of them. When you’re playing a game, there’s a lot to be learned.”
************************
Ginger: So the spoiler that Russell and Rob each has immunity til the merge was bogus, it appears.

Also, posted at Survivor Blows by Flowerpower, it is stated that CBS has dropped the lawsuit against Missyae.

Transcript of Jeff, Rob and Russell interview. Picked this up this morning over at Survivor Skills:
***************************
Transcript:

Jeff: The thing you have with Rob and Russell is, for whatever reason, they are now icons on our show.

Russell: I'm goood at this game, this is what God has made me for.

Rob: It's like I've been climbing this mountain for almost ten years now, and I'm not going to quit until I get to the top.

Jeff: When the Live Finale of Heroes vs. Villains was going on, and at one point Rob said to Russell: I will gladly take you on, anytime, anywhere.

Russell: When have you worked?

Rob: I haven't, but given the opportunity, I'd gladly go back and kick your ass all over again!

Russell: Rob, ya know when he was talkin all that mess at the Live Show, ya know I ain't seen him since then, he took off - runnin!

Rob: You want me to talk about that little Hobbit? You want me to?

Russell: Let's go in the backroom and settle this, that's how I want to deal with him. I want to get in a cage with that dude, I want blood to be shed.

Rob: I'm going to kick his ass, I'm going to make him pay.

Russell: LeBron James, two-time MVP. Russell Hantz, two-time MVP. You know the difference between us? Nothing.

Rob: He's a legend in his own mind.

Jeff: And I can feel the energy. I believe the audience is going to love it. I don't think anybody is going to be tired of seeing Russell, he's too polarizing. And if you hated him the first two times, you have to watch, so you can enjoy hating him again.

Russell: The image I have as the villian that's fine with me, because that's how I play the game. But the thing is America, they vote for me every time, they like the way I play, so that's all that matters to me.

Jeff: Boston Rob is fascinating in that he started as a villain.

Rob: I'm a villain?

Jeff: He was despised by people, and somehow, he transformed into a Hero.

Rob: I feel like I've done my best every time I've played, and I've always done what I've said I was going to do. I mean I've played this game three times, alot's gone wrong, every time! I'm hoping that this time I can make something go right.

Russell: This is it, it's Hail Mary time, and I either do it, or I don't.

Russell: I don't ... I think you don't have the guts to do what I do!

Russell: I'm ready for this one, I more ready for this one than I ever have been, ever. I'm ready to run somebody over if I have to. I'm ready to do whatever it takes.

Rob: What you see is what you get, if you don't like it get out of the way, cause it's comin!

Russell: It's going to be history, Survivor History!

Has there ever been any speculation anywhere about how this show would do running twice a week?

Not from the producers end of it, that I know of, TnT. I have seen on other website's boards where posters have suggested it, as you have. That's about it.
