This show was the nail in the coffin for me. Previous years seemed a little contrived at times but this year is over the top in my opinion. The stupidest person in the world would not have give up immunity... unless they were told to by the producers to make a good "show". After all it IS supposed to be prime time entertainment. Heavy editing aside, the obvious retaking of scenes, and always reordering of vote counts to make it dramatic has spoiled my idea of random reality. Who knows... maybe a crew was sent to some islands to film while all the rest of it was done on a studio lot. After the idiocy of last years BB I stopped watching it after being a fan from day one and I'm done with Survivor now too. I'm hoping TAR doesn't fail the reality test too.

Does anyone have the link for voting for fan favorite. Spell I am great for conspiracy theories but I just dont believe that Erik was manipulated by anyone other than the four women on that island. This was one of the most enjoyable Survivor evers for me. Everything fell into place, especially with those hidden immunity idols and I was one of those folks who hated the whole idea of hidden immunity idols when it was first introduced.

While it has to be horrible to be made such a fool of on national TV, ITA with Sharinia. He was treating the women like they were fools, so he sowed what he reaped. How could anyone help laughing?

Maris, I could see it being an in-show thing. Like, vote during the reunion show, and they announce it at the end. As for Erik, I never said he didn't DESERVE to be voted out. I was actually just noticing his personality and demeanor overall. I think he went on Survivor being one of the ultimate fans of the show for the past 8 years. Of course he thought he could win the million, and of course he wanted to. The "fans" were introduced to the "faves" in the first episode, so it's not like Erik planned to go on to meet Ozzy. But once he was there, I really think having the faves there made Erik's time on Survivor an even better one. I think he is genuinely not a greedy person, and he probably genuinely came out HAPPY just by meeting his faves, and the money was more of an "oh well" for him. Cup half full, and all that. I think Survivor has edited him as naive, but really a nice guy, so I think he could be in contention for the Viewer's Choice prize. Again, I'd love to see a Cirie win. I LOVED last night when sh was sent back to camp with Nat, and how she was just rubbing salt in Nat's wound by talking about Erik taking Amanda, etc. hahaha LOVE IT!! While I think Cirie offers very little in the challenges, I think she is THE BEST player of the mental and social I forgot to mention how AWFUL I thought Parvati's remarks were in the voting booth. They came of as so smug, which I don't like, especially toward a sweet and naive guy like Erik. His behavior will speak for itself, without having the person who beat him cutting him down too. I think it's poor sportsmanship. But then again, I am not shocked with anything smug that comes out of her mouth. I hope she is eliminated next.

I don't care for what reason he gave up his immunity, that was a dumb move!! Another "Marcellas"... Even if he knew he didn't stand a chance to win another immunity since they would be targeting him he should have kept on trying and even more he should have tried to steal one of the girls for numbers, the one he picked was the wrong one, Amanda was not to trust either. But to be out of the game because of a move like that was less than honorable. He should have tried to win again and if the numbers were against him, so be it, but at least you lose more honorably that way... and none of those girls deserve to win... what a crock~! I was actually watching the game just to see if the guy survived against those girls, but what a letdown!

No, there is no link, as we don't even officially KNOW there will be a viewers' favorite prize. We are all just speculating, as it has been done more often the past few seasons.

Oh really? how did I not see that? I guess I tuned it out thinking it was a Ponderosa clip or something. Sorry for the wrong info Maris!!! I totally thought we were all still just speculating! LOL

I haven't read the post yet but I will. I loved last night's episode and laughed my butt off at Erik's parting words. He is such a doll even if he made the dumb move. I think he will get some publicity from this. If I voted it would be for Ozzy or James or Cirie.

Jeff is 5'9". Looks even shorter in the video. I'm 6', so I would be looking down on him.

Loved the interview, Ladytex! I also thought, he looked short and needed a haircut, but loved the interview.. interesting that he said it was a close vote. Guess I'll go vote.

Oh and of course I wonder about Erik even considering giving up immunity since they get more money for each time they survive being booted. And he had final four guaranteed and NO reason to think he couldn't possibly win immunity the next time! Supposedly no one there besides James knew about the end of last season so they didn't know how terribly Amanda did with jury votes.

what I loved about the Jeff interview is how he had Cirie pegged as vicious. She was a vicious player this season and nobody copped on to it. She deserves to win the whole thing because she went through the entire season smelling like a rose but being the person behind all the key evictions.

lol Knightpatti but with fondness, unlike some others (Richard Hatch). I suspect that we wont have seen the last of Erik because he was such a good sport. You would think that he is young, he would be bitter -- nope. Take a look at Ozzy, he is just so bitter and complaining he must be a real wet blanket at the Ponderosa.

ITA with you Maris, about Cirie being the person behind all of the key evictions, but coming out smelling like a rose. That is the perfect statement to describe her gameplay, and for that, I hope she wins the whole thing.

I wonder what everyone thinks the difference between naive and dumb are? I never minded Eric this season and wouldn't have minded if he ended up winning but after last night and what I consider the all time dumbest Survivor move I'm glad he's out. But I don't consider him naive. For me naive means having little knowledge of said subject and then being easily manipulated about it. But with Eric he's an admitted Survivor junky and watched every season so in my opinion he's not naive about the game, at all....he won the challenge last night answering Survivor trivia....how ironic is that.. I think he just made a dumb move. I guess it's all relative.....either way dumb or naive he lost his chance to win the game by giving up the necklace. I don't think I've ever seen so many smiling face as I did last night after Eric ran off....it coulda been toothpaste commercial...grins from ear to ear every tooth showing.

I think he was star struck and here was Cirie promising him loyalty in return for his proving that he could be trusted. I honestly dont remember Cirie being such a diabolical player in her episode of survivor so you could easily see how he would take that leap of faith. It was a Marcellas moment that is for sure, even if the pope offered me immunity in exchange for my necklace I wouldnt hand it over.
