Wavewatcher... you can either go to the individual show threads and the links are posted there, or you can go to the CBS - Survivor site. There you will find past episodes, episode recaps, Cast Bio's, & Ponderosa video's...

I was wondering...When Jeff does his blog...is he writing it after the tribal council at the time it was filmed?.....Or is he writing it after it has been shown on TV? I think it would make a difference if he knew the whole season before he wrote. In his last blog he kept saying how tired Russell is due to back to back seasons. I want to see Russell and Colby in the final two. That would be an interesting vote. Or if Russell gets voted out...I want to see how the jury greets him. I am guessing no hugs.

Jeff writes his blogs after the show is shown on TV. While of course he knows what happened, he makes comments in his blogs about fans' reactions to things, which he wouldn't have known while filming is going on. He also wouldn't have known what editing would occur until at least the show was ready to air, so he couldn't make comments about things that happened or were said at tribal council that might not make the final cut.

One thing that I find curious about this All Star version of Survivor compared to the last one is in the last one it seemed that many of the players were obsessed with getting all of the prior $1 million dollar winners out of the game. Sort of along the idea that because they had already won a million dollars they shouldn't have another chance again. However, three of the six remaining players this season have already won a million dollars playing Survivor. I think it is great because I don't think that a person's wealth or prior success should affect the outcome as I think that the best player should win. Nevertheless, I do think it is curious that none of these players seem to care about that when it was a significant factor in the prior All Star season.

Jimmer there was some minor talk about keeping the million dollar winners to the end because who would vote to give a prior winner another million.

I would like to add something about Russell. I asked his wife if Russell was an avid Survivor Fan prior to his season. She said no. He had originally applied for Pirate Master and for whatever the reason wasn't chosen but the producers liked him and gave him a call back to be on Survivor. He was given a season or 2 to watch , so he had not seen all the prior seasons. I agree with most of what has been posted on his and the other Survivors advantages and disadvantages. Knowing Russell has not been a avid fan with the full understanding of how important the social aspect of the game is. I think that explains a lot of his dilemma of merely focusing on the outwit, outlast and outplay. Also he came into this season possibly thinking he could have won last season and so he naturally wanted to play the same type of game. I don't think he realized that it didn't work then and it wouldn't work this season. I would love after a few more years to have him come back to another All Star season. 1) to see if he would watch the other seasons and learn something. 2) to see him go against Richard Hatch ( Richard had to add ALL of Russell's FB friends to be HIS friends. He seems a bit obsessed with Russell at the moment.) 3) To see if Russell would change his game plan with any learned knowledge. He is a different person apart from the game.

I think if the other contestants had seen Russell's play the previous season he would have been long gone. He's totally untrustworthy...why would you keep him? Yes, there's that unlikeability factor which at the end might make you a winner against him, but would you trust him to take you that far?

I live a couple of hours away from him and his wife, but I have been talking to both of them since last season. So, no, I don't know know them. I do speak with them and no, neither are allowed to talk about specifics in the game until it is over.

A couple of interesting comments from Amanda's interview with RealityWanted -- Q. Gina, RealityWanted: Who were you most excited to see in the game this time around? A. Amanda: James! I didn't really like him in China but after, he started opening up more. I saw the real James and he's a great, great person. Q. Gina, RealityWanted: Being so close to him, both in the game and in real life, what was it like to watch him deal with his knee injury? A. Amanda: I was just sick to my stomach. Honestly, I was like, "Oh my gosh, I could be so selfish and keep him in this game." He's a gravedigger, he needs his leg. You don't mess around. He told me what the doctors told him and I knew if he couldn't run on it, he needed to get it looked at. He's still injured right now. He had to have surgery a second time. He hasn't worked since the show. It's awful. I'm just glad he's okay. He's the kind of person who would've never given up. I had to make the decision as to what the best thing was for him. Q. Gina, RealityWanted: What is your relationship with Parvati, in and outside of the game? A. Amanda: I like Parvati but we're not really close anymore since Micronesia. We had a falling out and made up but after this, we don't really talk anymore. We weren't really thinking about working together at all. I don't know what she was thinking. She already had her nest eggs and I did, too. We didn't know if we could trust each other.

From Dalton's recap: "...but with a final three all the drama about picking the person you bring to go against you in the finals is gone. With a final three, two of the other people left can still force a tie, meaning the final challenge winner doesn't have the full power to make a decision that could cost them a million dollars. Also A vs. B is just inherently more dramatic than A vs. B vs. C. It's far more impactful to have a jury voting between two options as opposed to simply picking one of the above. This remains my biggest Survivor pet peeve." ITA. I also wonder what they do if there is a tie in the vote for the winner. What if there had been a 3 way tie last night? I like how the beginning of the show shows the jury members in the opening.

I'm curious about how accurate the spoilers were for this season? How early did they know who the final three were and did they have the winner correct?

I'm curious as well. I avoid spoilers, but would be interested to know if they were spot on.

I just had a look in the spoiler thread, there's a boot list there that looks to me (or my memory) that it is spot on. Final three plus last few evictions before that were definitely correct. This was Alaginger's post: SU's boot list for S20. Sugar - first boot Stephenie Randy Cirie Tom Tyson James Rob Coach Courtney JT Amanda Candace Danielle Rupert Colby Jerri F3 - Russell, Parvati and Sandra There is a 9 Person Jury

they were extremely accurate, we basically had the whole boot list before the show even aired the first ep! They even had info on challenges, info about how some hidden idols would play out, info that Russ was probably the reason for Rob's exit, etc. I'd say this was the most spoiled season ever, 2nd to All stars.

I wonder how they get all of that accurate information?! Do the contestants have loose lips? Satellite photos?

IIRC, the previous season was equally well spoiled. Why do I have a suspicion that someone connected to Russell had something to do with this?

His behavior toward Stephanie this year was extremely unattractive, so I don't care whether I see James again. I wish him well, though.

I dislike him because of the way he roughed up Randy and then threw stuff at him after he was down. I'll certainly never watch a show with James in it.
