OK, this is a bit silly. But, I for one cannot stand beer! If they opened up that cooler for me last night, I'd be like, "uh, I appreciate the effort, but no thanks!" I wonder if they know in advance what a person likes, or just assumes everyone likes beer? What if one of the recepients was a recovering alcoholic? Would MB and JP just expect you to suck it up and "ooh and ahhh" over the reward, and either drink the stuff or pretend to (it is product placement after all).

They ask a lot of questions about personal preference- favorite foods, drinks, etc.
I suspect that if someone won who didn't drink or had expressed that dislike, they have backup food/drink prepared.

MB knows all, sees all!

I was wondering that too. I'm a vegan. You lay a pepperoni and cheese pizza in front of me and I think I'm being punished! hehe And Coors Light? *kak*

Car is right... lots of questions in the application and interview process... they even list a few favorites in their bio... MB thinks of everything!

Yeah, I am more the Grey Goose martini, Mussels Marinere followed by espresspo and cognac type myself. Or a hamburger and chocolate shake would do as well.

I didn't think about that, but I can see Kathy and Rob having pizza and beer as a favorite craving. Maybe they don't decide the menu until they see who is going- Kathy did say it was a long walk.

And poor rest of the tribe- last few times they have all got to share a tribal merge feast.... this time they get zippo. :(

I'll bet they shared in the hangover day exhaust emission.Should have used that as an IC, would be a real survivor challenge ;) Shades of Blazing Saddles

I rarely drink, and I hate beer but after a few weeks going with what they have to live on I could learn to like it real fast.

I think it would be perfectly acceptable to pass on the beer if you were a non-drinker for whatever reason.

Me? - I have a tendency to talk WAY TOO MUCH when drinking. If I was in this game, drinking would increase my chances of making a strategy faux pas. I think I'd have one beer and then stick to water. (And eat tons of pizza.) Seems like too that drinking lots of beer would decrease your chances of keeping the food down.

I'd definitely stick to the pizza :).
