I'm west coast Canada. CBS is preempted by our local Global Channel.

Anyways, right after Dreamz won the immunity and they are back in camp, our channel cuts away to "a breaking news story". Ridiculous! All it said was a rehash of that taliban guy that has been old news all afternoon.

So then comes around 8 commercials. The next scene we see is Cassandra, earl and Dreamz coming BACK from TC in the dark. !!! we missed ALL of the TC and the vote.

Stupid canadian Laws. I still remember the good old days when we had the choice between watching the Canadian channel OR the usa channel.

Now we have no choice. For instance, at SuperBowl we never get see the great new commercials....instead we get preempted canadian content cut into the USA stream.

sorry for the rant but I jsut made out a complaint for Global TV. what a big mistake LOL

Sunshine, you can go to CBS.com and view whatever you missed if that helps.

Sorry you missed it first time around.

No Canadian viewers can't view it on CBS.com. It is blocked.

(We can see it on the Canadian channel's website though)

Voting at last Tribal Council. (I translated these from the video myself)

Earl - (grins - rolls eyes) - (takes a long, long time before writing down Yau-Man). "I'm sooooo sorry about this. That totally blinded-sided me. (Hmmm - blows out breath). I don't know what to say. You... We've been a long way together. I'm sorry, you know, it's just a game and it's a ??? now.

Yau-Man - Sorry Cassandra ... it didn't turn out the way I hoped it would. It's time for you to go!

Cassandra - Yau, you played a good game, but the last strategy was way more than any individual could own up to at this stage of the game and given the conditions.

Dreamz - (votes for Yau) Smart game - Sorry!

Fellow West Coaster here!
You are fully entitled to your rant; I couldn’t believe my eyes I kept asking is something missing?
Did you hear the expression made by the silly male broadcaster…”to bad I do not watch Survivor any way” and the female said “yeh things happen.” Lame people!!

Thanks for another great season of spoiling, Ginger!!

Sunshyne, I completely sympathise. I just loathe it when stations break in and natter away, but it is rarely important enough to give up the commercials :-(

Hey Sea .... once you get a site set up for the China Season, you might move my post with the link over there. I think it is way too soon right now. Actually, I'm going to see if I can find any stuff about the pirate thing starting on May 31st.

I finally saw the finale'. I was glad that Dreamz didn't give the immunity idol to Yauman, even though it looks like he did not keep his word, he was not in the game for Yauman, he was in it for his family. To just break his word to them, and to himself, and not do whatever he needed to, to vi for the million dollars would, IMHO, be more of a betrayal, than lying to Yauman. Although it did look like Dreamz was vacillating, in the end he said he was never going to give it, maybe that was all an act, but it seems more like he was vacillating to me, I'm glad he kept it though. Yauman took a chance, had he not counted on the idol from Dreamz, perhaps he would have struggled more to hang on, who knows, but like Yauman said in the end his pride got in the way of his making a new deal with Dreamz; he's a stand up guy Yauman, not bitter at all, he played a great game.

I was genuinely surprised at Alex's, and some of the other jury members, attitudes (I usually am when they rant at the finalists lol, go figure). They all were there for the same reason, to win money, and yet they seem very angry at the final 3, or some of them I should say. Alex ranting at Cassandra made little sense, had he just listened to her, she may have looked bad bc of her seemingly innate need to play the kind soul, rather than he looking like some bitter player. I guess he needed to do what he needed to do though.

I'm not unhappy that Earl one, but I wanted to see Cassandra win, then when Dreamz kept the idol, I wanted him to win. That may not be popular, but I have a higher opinion of players who do anything to keep themselves in the game, rather than the ones who just give up. In any event, I really enjoyed this season and am looking forward to the next.

I think the pirate one comes before the next survivor doesn't it? That looks like a fun game.

Yes.........Pirate Masters starts on May 31st, and the Survivor: China is for next Fall.

I have found two sites besides CBS that will be following Pirate Masters, and I'm looking for more. I'll wait til we have a thread here to start bringing stuff over. So far, not too much spoiling.......just what the show is about, and who the contestants are.

Well, I looked all over the place in the past couple of days for that......and didn't find it. I see it has been up since April 18th, so obviously I didn't look in the right place.

Thanks!!! Ginger

I totally disagree. Survivor is a game but it's slogan is outwit, outplay, outlast, Not lie, cheat, steal, and betray. A man that plays the game with integrity will come away with much more than one who doesn't. Yau Man is well known and well respected now for his integrity, and I daresay that Dreamz would have had many opportunites open up to him if he had presented himself in a different light. Knowing of his financial hardships, the act of giving up the chance of winning to show he is a man of his word could have brought a lot of sympathy and admiration his way and opened untold doors for his future. Now he has a truck he can ill afford to keep and a damaged reputation. Nevermind it was a game <100>. In real life few people may now trust him . And for the record I'm disappointed in Earl, too. Earl said his deal with Yau Man was to the final four, Yau Man said it was til the final two. Does anyone precisely remember earlier comments from the show? Also, Earl had the first two clues for the second II but Yau Man had all three. He could have found the idol himself but he chose to share the hints with Earl and allow him to find it. I would like to have seen a real alliance lasting to the end and let the chips fall where they may. When Coby took Tina to the final two he knew of the risk and he lost, but he did go on to become quite well known and a celebrity in his own right and make his own millions nevering having to tarnish his reputation.

Chieko Thank you for this post; I feel so much better somehow. You are correct about Earl, YM got the worst of the deal because he could never use a fellow human being then discard him.

Cheiko, I agree also. Plus Earl could've used the "I know bringing Yao with me was dangerous, but I (Earl) am a man of my word....and would not betray my friend at the end". I think he may have gotten votes for doing the hard thing....and taking the chance. I know if I was on the jury I would've had to think about that....before making a decision.

Dreamz making the deal in the first place was NOT strategy based. He was NOT playing the game when he accepted the deal. Cheating someone out of a prize is not considered gameplay in my book.

Dreamz has stated he never intended to give the II to Yau, even as he promised to God. To me that says Dreamz fully intended to cheat Yau out of the truck.

I fully understand the need for someone to play for themselves and no one else, and I wouldn't hold it against Dreamz if he had simply said he made a mistake, broke the deal with Yau and refused to accept the truck.

But in my mind, Dreamz seized the opportunity to rip Yau off....and I've seen little from him to change my mind that was his intent from the beginning.

I don't mind Dreamz backing out of the deal, but how can he possibly keep the truck if he didn't hold up his end of the deal?
