RNO Interview with Sandra

Sorry for the long quotes but this one is just too good:

quote:

RNO: Did you really think you couldn't win or was that just a ploy so Russell would keep you around?

Sandra: By the time I made the jury and started looking – Courtney was my buddy. You start playing the numbers. Amanda knew I was actively trying to save her and things with her and Parvati were kind of rocky. They weren’t even on speaking terms. Anything that had to do with Russell or Parvati got attached to both of them. So anything like that, I benefited from that but wasn’t blamed, like the J.T. move.

Russell owes Jerri, Parvati, and Danielle a thank you. If any of them would have ever gave him up, he wouldn’t have made it to the end. But he was our goat. Parvati says he’s our dragon, but she had a rope around his neck the whole time. He was our goat.



So Russell thinks he's the G.O.A.T (Greatest Of All Time) but Sandra thinks he was just a goat.

Thanks for finding that Spear. I totally forgot about Mick! Even hearing his name doesn't ring any bells.

I'm not sure I buy Russell's response though. One reason was that it sounded like an edit, the sentence didn't flow; the other reason is that I don't believe Russell would phrase it like that, if he wasn't absolutely certain he'd lost, and we know he wasn't certain, we all saw the Samoa finale.

From Dalton's recap:
"Courtney greatly disappointed me by using her time to lob a big old softball over the plate to Sandra to help her garner more votes, and Danielle actually made the most astute comment when she told Russell, ''It's clear there's a lack of skill in your jury management.'' "

I was really looking forward to Courtney's jury ? or comment and was very disappointed.

Great comment by Danielle!

I thought Parv saying she kept Russ as her pet was HILARIOUS!

I agree with quite a bit of what Dalton says about Russ. Good recap.

Oh wow, that's right. I had completely forgotten about Mick! Not sure if that's because he was so unremarkable, or because I'm so forgetful!!

I had forgotten about Mick too!

Mame, I actually agree with you about the comment that Parvati made about Russ being her pet even though I got a good laugh when she said it. I can kind of see why she said it and maybe it gets back at him a bit for all the rotten things he has said about women esp. in his first season, but...I do believe two wrongs don't make a right, and I feel a bit bad for not being upset with Parv for saying it.

Aww ((Happymom)) no worries. Sandra called him a 'goat' in an interview, according to Spears post. I suppose that makes hm their 'pet goat'. Oh well. Like I said, it only made me feel bad for him MOMENTARILY. (shrug) Although Since Sandra wasn't his bosom buddy, there's less of a sting to her insult than Parvs.

I think Russell saying his goal was to 'make it to the end,' was a way he could be okay with losing, bc winning of course was his real goal. I don't think he understands why he wasn't chosen, so he has to make himself okay with it, by diverting to he just wanted to make it to the end. Just a thought.

Pet goat, lol.

I would think it would be better to have Sandra vs Parvati tribes--now that would be a fantastic game.

Seriously. Those two played an awesome game. I have gained much respect for Parvati from H vs V.

IMO Parvati played a great game. Of course, she didn't win but she played as well as she possibly could.

I was surprised to hear Colby say how they were basically quarantined this season. They could not go in the water much and had to stay out of the jungle. I can see how this would be frustrating.

I agree, Bonbon, that was a bit instructive as to Colby's behavior - a sense of confinement instead of freedom, a feeling of being trapped and isolated instead of experiencing an adventure. He still could and should have won a few challenges though, LOL. I will always respect Colby for taking Tina to the end, and hope his life has been rewarded for his show of loyalty. He knew it would cost him the million, but his commitment was worth more than that.

I can't find where a poster here questioned why Russell said in a confessional that he didn't win Season 19, when he wasn't suppose to know that while playing Season 20. I think it was Jimmer who posted. Anyway, I just found this in an exit interview with Russell done by RNO (Reality News Online).
***********************************
RNO: We saw a clip last night that was a bit confusing. You told the camera that you brought two people you thought you could beat because they were weak. Then it sounded like you said, “And I didn’t.” I and my readers were confused by this because you didn’t know the results when you were out there filming this season.

Russell: I said that because I knew what happened in Samoa – I didn’t have to see the votes read. I can read the jury when they’re talking to me. I’m not stupid. I seen it. I knew I didn’t win. In this one, I knew I didn’t win. And next one, I probably wouldn’t win. But I’ll make it to the end again.

For me, to win Survivor you can't be a single-minded or one note player. I think Russell is very much a one note player.

Sandra is a serious survivor this season. She survived her original alliance being picked off, survived a bunch of bullets aimed at her, survived the idiocy that were the "heros".

Sandra survived because she had the ability to read the people she was playing with and understood that a bully rarely wins a the million dollars. This isn't necessarily a game of brute force, idols, or bullying, although with the right personality anything is possible .

Quick question in your opinion - Who is the worse loser- Sue from season one or Russell season 19/20?

Mgmriver asked....."Quick question in your opinion - Who is the worse loser- Sue from season one or Russell season 19/20?
"


Hope that was a general question to all Mgm....I definetly believe Sue wins the prize for worst loser.

Was it ever explained what Colby meant by Quarintined? How come they couldn't swim and go into the jungle?

I did a Google search, and this is all I got:
**************************

Survivor: Colby said they were quarantined?
Because they could not get in the water or go into the jungle. Does anybody know why??

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker
Probably the area they stayed in was dangerous - could be wild animals, poisonous things on land and in the water. They can't sweep the whole jungle. So they do an area and that's where they put the players for the entire season.

Sue by far. Russell didn't say he would leave someone to die.

Was Sue a sore loser at the reunion though? I can't remember. I kind of forgive all of them, even the most bitter, at the jury questions because it's all so fresh but by the reunion they should have pulled themselves together.

Apparently there are sharks and poisonous coral in the waters off Samoa, but I can't see anything that is dangerous listed as in the jungle. There's a National Park on the island and I wonder if they paid to use an area of that, and hence had to agree to certain restrictions (for instance there is no spear fishing allowed within the park waters). Just a guess though.

I totally abhorred Russell but objectively I cant think of anyone else deserving of the 100,000. I have never approved of the "fan favorite" and it really ticked me off that they crowned Rupert the first time when he didn't win. I never thought he was deserving of anything. How he even was in contention for winning anything this time out with his attitude and his complete ignorance of Sandra's warnings.

the final three deserved to be final three and I would have been happy with Parvati or Sandra winning. Both of them got as far as they did using their wits, and Parvati also did well in the challenges.

RNO Interview with Colby
He talks a bit about the quarantine:

quote:

RNO: You said on the reunion that you weren’t really able to go into the water and couldn’t explore much in the jungle – why not?

Colby: This never gets shown, but it’s our reality – we’re in a very quarantined section of jungle that’s not very big that doesn’t allow for any exploration. If you notice, six weeks and not a single swimming challenge [because] the reef and the undertow was so bad. We were strictly forbidden. That’s why we didn’t have any fish – we didn’t have any in the ocean, we had a few in this little freshwater stream.

Thanks, Naja, for the link ~ That was fun to watch!

I really never want to see Rob or Russell ever ever again but they can bring Coach back for sure! I loved his new found humbleness and was sorry to see him voted off. Not to mention he actually is bright and has a great wit.

Karuuna I agree with your post entire post (8:49).

Sandra did all sorts quietly and doesn't seem to get much credit. Russell should actually tune in and watch a season of Survior to see how to possibly win. It's been on for 20 seasons so he should have learned something. Although I don't really like her I think Parv is an excellent player. She never let Russell push her around.

In my opinion, I think the final 3 all deserved to be in the finals. They all played differently so it made it really interesting.

It pains me to admit this but I really do like Coach now. I thought I would never say that.
