Hear, hear Lance, about the wisdom.

After the money is spent, the 15 minutes are up, and the public has gone on to "the next thing", I hope these 16 people who dared to do something not a lot of us would do realize they did something truly unique. That "the experience", not the money, not the fame, was the actual prize.

I loved how Kel hugged Debb. I do think Debb had a hard time with the press and all, however she had to know that her dating her step-son would have come out. DUH! Hopefully she will get to a better place soon.

Tina played the game the best i guess..SIGH..however Liz still rules in my book.

Colby humm..for some reason I thought he did not look as "CUTE" live last night..odd that maybe its the beard thang ;-)

Lance, I do have a hatand I take it off to Bryant. He did a good job. In fact he was very likable.

My heart goes out to Debb, but also Keith, Jerri and Kimmi. All have been subjected to negative attacks. It couldn't have been easy for Keith to sit there and watch Colby and Tina say they just dragged him along and felt it important that he not win. Jerri is putting on a good "I don't care what people think" act but it has to have caused her some pain. Kimmi too. I can't imagine the strength one would have to muster to face this kind of critisism and then watch the world in love with some of the others. Elisabeth and Rodger probably the most adored.

I liked the honesty in this reunion. I was prepared for a repeat of the first show with the restraint and very low key vibe. It was excellent.

Maralyn, though I like her, was irritating. She forced it.

Alicia's and Jeff's friendship is sweet.

Fascinating to see everyone plumped. Tina looked self concious and uncomfortable wearing the clothes she had on. (They could not have been the EXACT same ones) She looked good but she would not have choosen to expose her midriff, I am sure. She kept covering it with her arm.

It was obvious that they were not told they would have to wear the same clothes months later live in LA. No one looked like they wore their favorite things. Nor did they look surprized that they had to await the results though Tina and Colby grabbed hands in anticipation of the vote count. Anyone know about this?

The first hour was a tad dull and melodramatic. Too drawn out. Passing everyones names was good. They could have gotton some good money on Ebay for those Tiki's they threw in the river. (litter bugs)

I hope to see much more of Elizabeth. She is the shinning star in my heart.

Well when it comes to tact and graciousness Keith sure one-upped them all. To have heard the things Tina and Colby said about him must have been extremely hurtful. It confirmed my belief that I did indeed pick the right survivor to defend.

Jeff and the fish was an amazing revelation. What a little sh*thead. But I still like him.

Maralyn is a fine looking woman who has aged very well.

Watching Deb was very painful.

Mitch and Kel and Nick are forgettable.

I like the sound of Mike and Rodger's voices, but I prefer Rodger with the beard and without the dorky JDeere hat.

Jerri seemed a little less strident in the reunion show but she really should try some serious introspection. She still doesn't seem to get it.

Amber was Ambore.

Alecia strikes me as a strong young woman with a bright future. Kimmi is a barbie doll but I like her better than I did in the outback.

Liz is a star in waiting. Lots of wonderful things on her horizon.

On almost every show Colby said he was there for the money. Obviously the time they had for reflection the last few days changed his mind. Does momma get the house paid off or does he get his Harley?

Tina didn't outlast or outplay. I think she just smoothly outwitted them all. As a Canadian I don't have a clear appreciation of southern charm but I'd say she oozes it. Good job Tina.

I liked that Bryant mentioned that it would have been 2 Kuchas sitting there had Mike not fallen into the fire.

A lot of emphasis has been put on playing well. Luck and circimstance plays an equal part.

Elizabeth was the swing vote for Tina. She was undecided right up until she heard Tina's charity idea. Funny, they both seemed to think a million dollars was more that it actually is. Investing it and using the money it generates is the wise move. Buying bulidings and paying mortgages just depletes it's ability to work for you. Patience.

I liked the question as to who would be the last standing for Kucha. I disagree with the answers I heard. I would not be surprized if Alicia and Jeff (having the same bond as Tina and Colby) were the final 2. They would have dragged Nick along with them and Rodger and Elizabeth would have been the first to go due to their unbreakable bond and ability to win the jury vote.

I would have loved to see Rodger and Elisabeth as the final two. Jeff and Alicia would have been good, too.

I like Msbats summary!

I felt bad for Debb

Maddog was a bit forced

Kel went on too much about Jerri

Jerri is a good sport... don't know anyone who can take the abuse and negative stuff like she has (I saw her and keith reach for each other hands a couple of times which was nice)

Keith was a good sport also

Tina just looked uncomfortable

I agree about Jerri, Moon. She is a pesky one, difficult and edgy, but I like her. I have no problem with that type in real life. She just is who she is and that has nothing to do with anyone else. You can choose to get hooked or not. I will say, however, that this outback situation would have made it difficult. It exaggerates everything.

I know people like Jerri,too. The one thing I always admire is their strength and outspokenness. The outback would have made anyone cranky. She is just more open with her feelings.

Help me understand something....

As I recall, when Mike fell into the fire, there had not been an IC, correct? So, it was still unknown which team would have to vote someome off? I guess everyone could assume that the Kuchas would have won the IC, and the Ogakor would have to vote someone off. But that is an assumption, right?

Yes, that is an assumption.

Good point Kar! It was an assumption!

Well my Mom thinks if I was in the outback I would have been Jerri LOL... I asked her if she really loved me?

But I am alot like her so I can relate... oh well take me or leave me... OMG don't leave me:)

Okay, thought it was just me. I have to admit I get driven a little crazy by this "Michael is king" attitude. Nobody really knows how he would have done if he would have continued in the show, just like Tina said -- a lot of it is luck and you can't really predict the winner. Alicia was a very strong contender, and because she was, she got voted off early. If Kucha hadn't won immunity, and Michael was still there, guess who would have been voted off first? This jumping to conclusions that because Michael left, Ogakor lost, is befuddling to me.

Just call me Joe Friday, "just the facts, ma'am!" :)

I personally never liked Michael ... he was a bit scary to me and you are right, Kar, I think he would have been one of the ones voted off first if the opportunity showed itself!

I don't think anyone is saying if Mike had remained, HE would have won. They are speculating that the winner would be a Kucha. They would have entered the merger with the majority advantage that would have played out in the reverse situation, assuming Kucha voted all Ogakors out as they did to them.

Well, Fruit, they did say that, didn't they? One of the questions they were asked by one of the jury members? I can't remember who, or the exact question... sorry for my fuzziness, been a long week for me. Something about which two Kuchas would have been the last two, if Kucha had the majority? Colby answered Nick and Michael, and Tina said Michael and ???

A slightly separate issue, Bryant Gumbel said that if Michael hadn't fallen into the fire then Kucha would have won. But I'm saying that it was an assumption that Kucha would have even had the majority. The last IC wasn't held because Michael was burned. Ogakor had pulled out a previous immunity challenge when they were down by one, so I think it's a possibility that they could have done that again. That's all I'm saying. :)

Ahhhhhhh you are right. They were one ahead but the IC was cancelled and Mike was the sacrifice. I forgot that detail. They went in even then, yes? And still Ogkor took over?

They went in even but knew who has the most votes etc... to know who to vote off... they knew Jeff had more votes because of the previous Kimmi slip to Tina.

It's that Hollywood diet. You'll be amazed at what you lose in a day. lol!

Anyway, last night was an awesome 3 hours and Survivor 2 had a great run. I hope we see some more of the participants in other media endeavors.

I thought Michael was kind of weird last night too. Then, on the morning show, he was still weird. I don't know if it was nervousness or not.

Marilyn seems very nervous in front of the camera too.
