I am so in love!! Ozzy looked so good!! I always have room in my heart for a romance!! Ozzy and Amanda are adorable to me. I definitely was not an "Amanda fan" last season but I do think she is a genuine person, as is Ozzy. They make a striking couple. (but this better not ruin his game!) Parvati and James on the other hand?? UGH!! I can't stand Parvati. Poor James. I really hope he wises up to her "flirtation". What ever happened to "don't bite dat' apple" James?? LOL If it was Amanda & Ozzy who were caught kissing in next week's episode, then perhaps it was them who Jeff was talking about on a recent talk show... He said a couple had sneaked away and really got into it, not realizing there was a hidden camera right there. He said the editors had to blur some of the images because they were too graphic. What talk show was Jeff on when he said this?? I would like to look it up on youtube. LOL I know it's just an "expression" but I thought it was funny when Jonathan said on the previews "Get a hotel".....um some random cave is the best they can do right now!

I enjoyed watching the "fans" reactions to the "favorites." You could see them jump and cheer for Yao Man, but when Pavarti came out they all just half-heartedly clapped like "who the heck is SHE?" LOL It was H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S!!! There was a VAST difference in their reaction from one favorite to the next. I pointed out to my sister which ones were the "real" favorites. She said to me "Just because these people aren't YOUR favorites, doesn't mean there not somebody else's favorites." ........BWAHAHAHA!! Whatever...you could totally tell. I swear I didn't hear ANY excitement from the fans when Eliza came around the corner. And they seriously gave Parvati a quiet "golf clap". (it was priceless) I mean come on, some of these so-called "favorites" must know that the producers just couldn't get anybody else. The fans seemed thrilled that Yauman, Jonathon, James and Ozzy were there I agree....although I was surprised by the cheering for Jonathan. (Is it because he was an actor? so he is just "well-known") Out of the girls I like Ami the best, but I don't begrudge Amanda being there. Cirie on the other hand.....

Did fans actually vote to have these former Survivors back? I would guess that Jonathon is back because of his baby blues. As awful as that man may or may not be his eyes are dreamy LOL Ick, this is making me feel icky LMAO

I knew it though. The minute the fav's started discussing who to boot, Ozzy's name came up first. I was so worried about this!!! I know that they preferred to take out "Parvati", but Ozzy will always be considered the biggest threat. I am NOT looking forward to worrying about his safety every episode. This season will be a real nail-biter...On the other hand, as much as they talk about wanting to oust Ozzy, I think this loss may make them rethink their strategy. They are NOT going to want to lose AGAIN. And I think losing to the other tribe feels worse because they are "Survivor veterans" so they look twice as stupid losing to newbies. I have a feeling (is it desperate hope?) that they will want to keep Ozzy around so they can win challenges. Alliances already of course, the Johnathon, Eliza, Yau-man and Ami alliance seems a bit boring, though I like Yau-man And why on earth would anyone choose to be in an alliance with Jonathan?!?! That was what really shocked me. I know JFP was shady but to me Jonathan was the biggest "tribe betrayer". (not that I disagreed with Candice and his decision to jump ship, nevertheless he did abandon them) And he wanted to draw JFP into their alliance!! I was like "no thanks" I would take the two shmoozy couples and be the fifth wheel instead of in an alliance with those two. (plus I don't trust Eliza) I think Yau-man Ozzy and James are all similar personalities. I'm not a huge expert on Yau-man so I could be wrong, but I believe they are all very loyal to their alliances. I think they would do well to align together. So what's the consensus on Fairplay? Was he being genuine? LOL I honestly think it was a strategy that backfired on him. I could be wrong but that is the vibe I got. I really thought that he was doing what Parvati had suggested. It seemed like something he would really get into....you know conning people. When he talked to Jonathan's alliance and spoke at tribal council it really seemed like he was trying to pull one over on them, and then they would all vote for Eliza. I think he just ended up convincing EVERYONE that he wanted to leave, even Ozzy's alliance.

I had no idea this started last night! It's a good thing my DH remembered or I would have missed it. Maybe since Jeff said JFP was drunk when they got to the island, he was going through some type of withdrawal which made him more emotional??? I'm just glad he's gone!! I couldn't remember half of the favorites and I watched all the seasons! Glad to see Ozzy tho'!!

Quacked with my Sister lastnight (she's as big a Survivor/TAR junkie as the rest of us). She's got a zillion stations on her TV. I told her that many people posted that Jeff had BANNED Fairplay years ago from the cast parties etc., that there was bad blood for some reason. And surprised that JFP would be back on another Survivor (noted that his 'Season' was from before the seasons of the other 'Favs' & out of sequence). Sis said that she thought she saw/read something where Jeff said they took surveys from Fans all over the country. One question was "Who do you NOT want to ever see again?" When everyone almost universally said they didn't want to ever see Fairplay again, of course, they had to get him ON! (IMO, create controversy). As we saw tonite, WHO came running out as the very last 'SURPRISE' fav, ShockJock? Can people please keep an eye out for this story or anything on YouTube? Would love to see it myself if anyone finds it. His crocodile tears also looked scripted to me. If I saw it correctly, Fairplay himself! voted himself! off the island - along with everyone else. That way he could make his Exit, without quitting, and without looking like a loser frantically scratching to save himself. I have to wonder if they didn't cut some [EXTRA] sort of a deal beforehand? Perhaps pay the baby doctor bills or an extra stipend? - Fairplay's new baby daughter was due in 2 months (GF 7mos pg I think he said). If he finally found a hot chick in life, he sure doesn't want her left feeling abandoned for 39 days or more, especially if the baby chose to make some 'early entrance'. Plus, it was a given that the Favs would be voting him off as quick as they could say "Dead Grandma" - just the normal reaction to his usual kind of gameplay! - Jeff/Burnett doesn't want JFP hanging around the whole time, antagonizing fans enough to press that turnoff button never to return. - CBS gets the 1st Episode "Shock Factor" - while Fairplay gets the Reality Show boost on his resume. Just guessing here, can't wait to talk with my Sis!

Thank you Ketchuplover!! I TOTALLY felt like the Fairplay thing was scripted. I think it was a partial draw to watch the show, and I think he knew he was to take an early exit. I don't think people WANTED him around, I don't think competitors wanted him around, and I don't think CBS wanted him around for the majority of the season either. I really think he was like the "pace runner" that drops out early in a long distance Olympic race. OK, my other thoughts: 1 - All dirty thoughts about Ozzy. Dirty dirty dirty thoughts. Even too dirty for Pamy probably. 2- Hate Parvati. GET HER OUTTA THERE!!! 3 - Happy to see Amy and Eliza again. I really liked them both. I think there's something about Eliza that doesn't come through in editing. She wasn't well liked in her season, but always dodged bullets. And this season she's right there on everyone's radar again. She must be annoying to live with or something. 4 - I think I will be annoyed to see the "coupling" of Ozzy/Amanda and Parvati/James. Blegh. 5 - I kind of don't like the half former players and half new people thing. At least with ALL new people, the first few weeks we don't know anyone. But right now, I feel SO intimate with the old players, but then I really feel like I have NO CLUE about the new people, nor did we really spend ANY time at their camp getting to know them. And because I have some players I already know (and can pull for), I sort of don't WANT to get to know the new players. Does that sound weird?

What is James thinking? Pamy, our boy is going to be in big trouble if he lets Parvati ru(i)n his game play!

Excerpt from Morning Show on Thursday morning between Harry and Jeff Probst regarding JFP: (This was before the airing, and my take on it is that Jeff was not happy with the way things played out. Frankly, I think JFP played the Survivor people, and planned to do this the whole time ... kinda like a "get even" type of thing. He said on the show that lying came really easy to him....so you never know what to believe.) Harry: Now, the twist on this one is, you bring back a bunch of favorites. Jeff: Right, we bring back 10 people who have played before and put them against 10 people who have never played. The whole idea is that a lot of people sit at home and go, "I could do that. Why'd you do that. Why didn't you play the idol, James, come on." Most everybody here is somebody where you go, "oh I really liked that guy." Harry: Except for Jonny Fairplay. What was your thought, because you're a producer. Jonny Fairplay comes along. Jeff: I wrote Mark an email and said, "Do we really need Fairplay? Isn't our pedigree a little higher than this guy?" But Burnett's and CBS' response was that "you can't do this show without your most notorious idiot." I gotta say, he gave us exactly what we deserved.

I saw Jeff saying that everybody talked about JFP negatively on the TV Guide Survivor special. He said every time you asked about who you wanted on an All Stars Show everybody said they DIDN'T want JFP. So of course he had to be on the show. And fortunately now he is off and we don't have to watch him anymore. Liked the way the All Stars worked together to build a comfortable camp without much discussion or confusion. They just got to working and got the major stuff done. That was smart. Hope they pick it up in next week's challenges though. And poor Cirie...nobody ever tells that girl anything, do they?

Too lazy to read back but... am I the only one who does NOT think that Johnny Fairplay is a "favorite?" I can't stand the man. <55> And to go on and on about Yao-Man was a bit much. (I've not watched the entire episode yet, either, only the first few minutes.)

Hahaha. I just remembered this about Ozzy. He might not have cared that there was a hidden camera when he was making out with Amanda, after all, he did that Playboy channel show.

Well that was useless to have Fairplay on the show and have him quit right away.

I am a big James fan, but if he really is into Parvati I will not be such a fan Almost my exact words to hubby last night. I couldn't stand her the first time, I'd rather see JFP than her.

I thought the whole show was one bit ego trip for Fairplay. No idea why they did it. Wasn't eantertaining. So glad it's OVER and we can get on and enjoy the season. And that's all I have to say about that. I was wondering what feelings the James/Pavarti and Ozzy/Amanda pairings would stir. I wonder if they've met socially as they were pretty quick to get into it, particularly Ozzy and Amanda. It's a shame it puts a big target on their backs, although O and J had that target there already. Go Yau-man!

I was confused at his 'wanting to go home' spiel... isn't everyone kept there for the whole 39 days anyway, so as to not tip off anyone as to who won or lost the thing? What am I missing here... it's not like he walks out of tribal council and catches a flight home is it?

Yay!!!! JFP is GONE!!!!! I am so so happy! I really loved the show last night! I think it was my favorite Survivor episode ever! Real or not, I'm sticking with my thoughts/fantasy that all the favorites collaborated and kicked JFP out! played him! And now he's gone and hopefully we never have to see much of him again! I loved the fans reaction to Yauman! I loved Yau's beating jfp to the grabbing of the idol! I felt very bad for Eliza getting thrown out of the cart and head slammed. That must have hurt badly. I think Survivor is such an icky place to be hooking up with someone...eeew. Even if it is with Ozzy. No toothpaste, no soap, no deodorant....eeew. I heard it was more than making out by whoever is in that scene. I don't blame James wanting to receive some attention from Parvati (glad to her Jeff not pronouncing her name "Poverty"). I just hope it doesn't affect James' mental game. I think it will though. As much as I really like James and want him to be a great player, I don't hold out much hope for that. He made the worst mistake in all of Survivor history last season. I hope we see more of Cirie. I really like her. She was entertaining to listen to especially with the confessionals to the camera. Jonathan too. I am glad he's back. I don't care if I'm the only one on the board who likes him. I really enjoyed watching him on his previous season. He wasn't the greatest player. But he was always playing the game and never taking anything personally. He talked game all the time in his confessionals. I find him interesting.

“It Was the Perfect Conclusion for Jonny Fairplay” – An Interview with Survivor: Micronesia’s Jonny Fairplay by David Bloomberg -- 02/08/2008 As soon as Jonny Fairplay left Survivor, the questions began: Did he just pull a con on all of us? Did he only go on the show to revive his fame and then leave before the going got tough? Did he plan this all along? Or was he really telling the truth about his concerns? And how is his baby now? Jonny Fairplay answers these questions and more right here. View Printable version of this article This morning I spoke to an unusually subdued Jonny Fairplay. There was no bravado (well, only a little), just what seemed to be a normal, somewhat quiet guy. Perhaps he really is adapting to family life. Read on to see if he played everybody for fools and what he was really thinking when he made his decision to leave. RealityNewsOnline: Hello, Jonny, and thanks for taking the time to talk to RealityNewsOnline. I have to start with the question that is already being asked by many viewers: Was this your plan all along – to play a con on the entire Survivor audience, thus reviving your fame and then leaving? Jonny Fairplay: Nope. I talked with my fiancé before I left and I said if anything bad happened with the pregnancy, I didn’t want to know about it. Once I got out there, I didn’t want to find out bad information [when I got back]. I felt that was irresponsible on my part. RNO: What, exactly, was going through your head? Why were you so worried? Jonny: I was just having really crazy dreams. RNO: You repeatedly said you were the best Survivor player ever – why not stay and try to prove it? Jonny: Another time. I waited four and a half years for that opportunity, but I just think it was bad timing. RNO: Did you think you had a chance at winning? Jonny: I know for a fact I would have won. I had everyone right where I wanted ‘em. RNO: What happened to Parvati’s plan of only pretending to target you but then really going after Eliza? Jonny: I wasn’t aware Parvati had a plan. I’m not sure she was either. RNO: So you’re suggesting a little editing? Jonny: I have no clue. RNO: By the timing, I’m presuming your daughter has been born by now? Jonny: She’s three weeks old. RNO: Were you at the birth? Jonny: Yeah, it was insane. We got to the hospital at 8:30 am and she had the baby at 9:35. RNO: So how is your baby girl now? Jonny: Twenty inches long, seven pounds three ounces. She only cries when she gets naked and I tell her to remember that when she’s 17. RNO: Are you going to take up Yau-Man on his offer of child-rearing tips? Jonny: Yau-Man and I have been in communication. He’s a good guy. I reallyy like him. RNO: So you got over the head-smacking? Jonny: Oh yeah, yeah. It’s all part of the game. RNO: Getting back to the game, why did everybody seem to be ignoring Cirie in terms of getting her vote? Jonny: Cirie is kind of a Sandra-type player. Basically, as long as it’s not me, I’m here for a vote. So she’s the type of player you go to at the last minute and say, “We’re going this direction.” Lots of players have won in the past with that philosophy, I’m just not a fan of that play. RNO: How surprised were you to lose the challenge to the Fans? Jonny: Pretty shocked considering the first challenge was kind of a replica of the first challenge on my season. We knew where to go, how to do it. The problem was they got out to an early lead and we hit our cart, the left wheel basically bent our axle in half. It was over there. RNO: What’s next for Jonny Fairplay? Jonny: Jonny Fairplay is happy to be a proud papa. A little family time, let’s relax. RNO: Are you and Jeff Probst good buddies now? Jonny: I think so. That was a good hug, huh? I think it was the perfect conclusion for Jonny Fairplay. RNO: Do you have anything else you’d like to tell us about your time on Survivor? Jonny: It was a great opportunity. I’m very fortunate to have been asked. RNO: Thanks again, Jonny!

Part of me thinks JFP wanted to stay in the entertainment industry, in some sort of way. Bei it his own reality show, or something along those lines. Unfortunately, everyone HATED the persona he created for himself on Survivor, and Celebrity Poker, etc. I think he probably went on Survivor to sort of "clear his name". Sure, he could be the old villainous JFP, to jog our memory, but then he played it to go out on the storyline he wanted everyone to remember: the crying, sad, family man, who cared more about family than playing the game this time around. A new man. <cue the music> Now, if JFP wants to pursue future gigs, he will receive a better reception from people.
