Don't you wish that whoever thought up this marketing homage to the loser of the night be voted off?

Well, Flossie, it's official: The rest of us like it!

I don't like it either...kind of cheesy to me. I'd rather see 30 seconds more of the Survivors surviving.

Count me as a HATER. Total fromage.

I'd rather they spend 30 seconds on the Survivor on their couch TONIGHT, watching the show, and their "good bye" thoughts now that they've had 6 months to think about it.

For example - tonight, we'd see Brianna looking normal and showered, going "You know, I really shouldn't have just stood there. I deserved to go, now that I look back."

I thought last night that the family moment was almost like one last kick in the pants. They don't show it until after the person has been voted off and then show their families being all upbeat and cheering that person on in the game!

Family moment? I've watched all three episodes and so far haven't seen anything to do with families?

I guess I'm not that observant...
When do they come on?

We don't get that here on Global either. (Ontario)

It's a quick 10 second spot showing the family of the bootee all crowded on a couch and cheering on their family member/contestant.

So far we've enjoyed it, only because we love to make fun of it and rewrite their comments.

I could live without it, but it does provide a little glimpse of the home life of the evicted. Brianna is definitely the prettiest person in her family...

I guess us Canadians aren't that lucky to get the family moment.

LOL. I have digital cable (here in Vancouver) so I get 3 East Coast American stations. I watch my prime time nice and early, and yes, there are lots of things Global et al cut out.

Regarding the Family Moment? You're not missing much.

i have never seen a family moment either. my dh & i stay at the tv for the entire show until after they show the scenes for the next week & the booted survivor's comments and right on through until CSI comes on. then we watch it.

I think it's the worst thing Survivor has done....well, other than getting mental stretch marks trying to figure out a way they could give that Rupert person a million bucks.

Is the family moment part of Survivor or is it sponsored by an advertiser? I seem to remember in the past they would choose a play of the day type moment but it was presented by one of the sponsors. That would explain why we don't see it on Global.

It's the "Febreze" family moment. I guess there must be a lot of smelly sofas all across the US, Survivor families included.

It was cute the first week when Jim's wife wanted him back for their walks. I still think it is sort of fun. A glimpse of the ex-Survivor's family and friends. What's wrong with that?

I don't like it at all. In fact, I missed the first one and after hearing y'all talk about Jim's wife, I had to go back and look at the tape. I watched the show when it was on and happened to record at the same time. When the Febreeze commercial came on, I walked out of the room. And missed the 15 seconds of "family moment."

Honestly, it's a joke. I mean, come on. What do you think the family will say? "Gee, [insert survivor name here], you're a dumba$$ for getting kicked off already!"

It's really only a 15 second spot, if that. And it sure ain't gonna make me wanna rush out and buy Febreeze (actually, I don't like the fragrance they use anyways, and prefer the Downey one! <grin>).

One of reasons I don't like it is because it's such an obvious marketing tool...and I really would rather hear more from the Survivor themselves at that point. It's actually sorta ironic, they've just been booted out and are smelly and stinky and here's the good clean family moment sponsored by a 'good smell'product

by the way, I live Canada but watch shows like this via a US border station not on Global

If you don't like it, think of it as just another one of the commercials. In fact, that's what it is. It's not part of the actual show.

It really does not bother me because I figure that if it was not that, they would be showing some other Fabreze commerical, so it does not take any time away from the actual show. It is just a commerical.

They have done this before with some other product, but I cannot remember what it was. Seems like it was a candy or snack.

Doritos, the survivor quiz. (was it doritos? it was chips of some kind.)
