Slap me while you are at it Moon. From the things shown on the last couple of episodes of Survivor and the post-Suvivor show, I get that Keith transformed somewhat from the beginning of the show. I have never been a Keith fan, but I liked what I saw at the end.

The post-Suvivor show also reinforced how I feel about Roger and Elisabeth. What a great pair of individuals.

I really enjoyed tonights show too. Deb explains her relationship with Bob. Mad Dog looks great in a 2 piece bathing suit (for an older lady). Oh Boo Hoo for Jerri.Showed her in some films, forget what I said in the 5 actressess thread. Rodger-Cows still treat him the same. He has a nice tractor! Jeff was excited to go camping and get an agent. Mitchell is kinda wierd with Julia Roberts and wrote great lyrics to I Will Survive. Liz's guy is really cute. Cute couple. Keith says Rice is a four letter word. Tinas son is a real cutie!! Just a regular "Tenn. hillbilly". Really good show!!

Wink, Moon was a Keith Woman all along she just didn't realize it ! LOL

Tonight's Survivor was really good. All of you on the west coast make sure you don't miss it. And the weakest link was good tonight to. But it was kind of hard to watch them both at the same time. What is up with Sue's hair ?

Tonight's show was great. I liked it when Keith said he was writing another cookbook called "Yes, I Can Cook Rice." I really liked Jeff alot more. He is a funny guy. I loved the story of the heart-shaped rock Elisabeth brought back. Great show!!!!!! I want more!!!!!

I'm still watching the post Survivor show but so far, it is pretty good. This is what I was looking for when I said I wanted something more in-depth and personal.

Didn't Mad Dog look great !!
And Jerri just might turn out to be a good actress, once we get her other performance out of our mind.

Deb, should of known that questions were bound to come up about her and her Stepson. I felt bad for her but she should of been prepared for it.

Mitchell, did a good job with I will Survive. I thought it was funny. That's a side of him we never saw.

Yeah Tina's Son tickle me, he said now my Mom can buy better clothes, he said because before we were just hillbilly's LOL

Yes Liz and her guy make a cute couple.

Alicia look pretty good too, and Kimmi. The whole show was good I enjoyed it.

And it was really good to see Keith and his family. He thanked Jerri for his next book.

You are correct Moon, the black leather outfit you had on made it worthwhile.

Isn't it great how Jerri managed to give two guys she couldn't stand opportunities to make money?! Kel is being offered endorsements from jerky companies and Keith is going to write another cookbook playing off the rice theme.

Pretty funny if they both end up making more money as a result of the Survivor experience than she does.

I liked that too.. Jerri giving great opportunities to Kel and Keith, herleast favorites..

and the sour grapes now that it is over.. "Colby is a boy, blah blah blah"... I meean, she's right, but he never pretended to be anything other than himself.

Shame on Colby, Tina and Dale for riding sans helmets.. seems they had plenty of bikes already
available so Rosie didn't really need to come up with one, but of course it is a Harley (tho Harley hasn't really been HARLEY for a long time).

Didn't notice if Keith had a helmet.. think so.. see he and Tina and Colby could have bonded over bikes..

Alicia, like I said last week, is looking mighty
HOT!! I'd say she is outshining Jerri, Amber and Elisabeth in that category (and none of them are dogs).

Maralyn is a hoot and seems so much more relaxed at home tho she doesn't seem to sit still much.

I loved that Mike and Rodger came back more open to emotional stuff with their families. BIG bonus.

Mitchell's song was great :)

Kel's way cuter than anyone on Boot Camp.

Elisabeth is adorable in her tiny red coat.

And yes, Keith is awesome.. nice kids, nice fiancee.. you notice he didn't try for sympathy talking about his dad with alzheimer's back home.. and he sure looks good in a kitchen!!

This is exactly the type of followup I wanted too.

Moon.. you know that Andy's whip and collar are available on eBay... (BB Australia)

I thought the show was very good. I liked seeing all of them in their element--kind of puts it all in perspective.

I didn't pay much attention to Amber in the game, although yes seems to be pretty sharp and level headed about herself and life. I don't know if she's always been that way, or if she too obtained a decent chunk of wisdom out there.

Mike is a very interesting study in terms of what Survivor may really be all about. Keith follows closely behind him in that respect.

I think Roger had a lot of wisdom going into the game, and probably just got a good healthy dose of self concurrence. Elisabeth learned what she thought she'd learn concerning family and friends.

It was great to see the rest provide their perspectives and to get a glimpse of what is going on with them. They all have some very positive potential. Maybe not as stars, although certainly as humans.

This was a very satisfying show. I had warm feelings for them all.

Elizabeth, Rodger and Alicia in particular. No change there, all terrific people all the way through. I was surprized to find that I, too, (gulp) appreciated Keith.

The least appealing, to me, were Kel and Mike. Nothing glaring, just don't want to know them. Kel still had that bitter edge and I am never drawn to someone that has just "found religion/god" as it were. He'll be fine when he settles down and doesn't lead with that. Let that be your guide but not drive the train of self disclosure. Be it, don't talk it, works better for me.

Wonder what Maralyn meant when she described Amber as ferocious puppy (?). Something like that anyway.

Kimmi is quite beautiful.

I have always liked Jeff Probst and never understood why many don't. I find him compelling, strong, skilled at hosting and adorable. I really like the guy.

I loved the show tonight....and, Oh nooooooo...Keith is a really decent guy, I (gulp) really liked him. Can't remember anymore what put me off him in the first place. Kel was my very first favorite before the show started and I know they were awful to him but I'd stop whining now if I were him. Jerri still grates on me, ick! The rest were great.

MissL, after reading this thread I now know what you mean about Merlin being a Love Slave.

Now...on to my question. I don't know where to ask this but did I really hear Jeff P. say "see you in the FALL?? for Survivor 3. I read they are filming in July so are they aiming for the November sweeps, or what? I'm getting very confused here.

Bat, could Marilyn have meant that to her Amber is a "Mad Dog Jr"?

I think that it's great that they have, for the most part, made a change to be better people directly because of the Survivor experience.

I don't know if it's something that didn't happen with the first group, or if CBS/Survivor neglected bring it out.

I think these 16 really show that there is a lot of different ways to get to the same "place".

Tess good question, he said next season, then he said I'll see you in the Fall ??

Lance, that's what I got out of Maralyn's reference..she called Amber "Mad Puppy" and I saw it as a compliment from Mad Dog.

I haven't seen evidence that Survivor had the same effect on the first group of 16 that it had on this new group...I've been watching for it as they've come back into the limelight and am just not getting from them that they "get it" so to speak.

I know that no one can completely discount the monetary aspect and certainly there are a couple who are using Survivor II to further their careers, however, it seems for this second group the money became secondary. The Survivor experience, the bonds they made, the time to reflect on their respective lives became more important.

I do agree with Ms.Bat's assessment of Mike...he may have changed his life completely around but when it will become most effective is when he stops preaching and just lives what he believes. I think he could take a small lesson from Rodger who just quietly goes about the business of being a good all-around person without the fanfare. JMO

I am still ticked that Jenna said she can't stand Elisabeth. I'm steamed!

Tess, from what I hear they're supposed to start S3 sometime in November (Sweeps month). That series would end around end of January. They'll then start S4 a couple of weeks later so it starts in Febuary (Sweeps) and ends in May (Sweeps). Basically, they are going to try and put as many eps as possible in those 3 months.
They are going to announce the Network Schedules for the fall next week (Wednesday for CBS). I suspect we'll get more information then, because they're also a big rumor they might put "The Amazing Race" on Wednesday nights. It's a real muddle right now, with the UPN/WB feud, what shows are going to move, what shows aren't going to make it. We'll see though.

Of course! Mad puppy. The comparison to her own name escaped me.

The first group had a different experience. They weren't quite as hungry or as uncomfortable. They didn't get cold, didn't have to move to a third camp with a fraction of their supplies only to lose it all to a flood. (Mikes burns) They were more focused on the game aspect.

I think it was the added hardship that created the "changes" in them. I put that in quotes because they are still in the honeymoon stage. They are getting a lot of attention and are very high and very proud of their accomplishment. This state of euphoria can create a slightly distorted perception. They indeed have had profound thoughts and awakenings but it will be tempered in time. They are a bit goopy with it all now.

Even though doors have opened and their lives have taken a major turn for now, things will settle to a more familiar state of mind with a little more time.

Yes, good points, Bat. I keep forgetting that they've all been home for awhile being fussed over since --what, end of December? and it has magnified each week until the climax of the final show, and then the reunion show and then the in-depth show. My perception is that this group is also getting more quality media coverage than the first group. That in itself could shape how the public as a whole views them. I feel we know this group a little better within the confines of television anyway. Could it be that with S3 the producers, players and viewers will have learned even more and it will be that much better? Hmmm.


Wilson...so you are saying we could have back to back Survivors with one starting in just a few short months...perhaps right after we get over the hoopla (I'm assuming there will be hoopla) of BB2? This is tv heaven.
