I thought Rosie did OK, I expected her to do better. I'm pretty much a fan of hers. By the time the survivor show part ended, it was already 10:15, so there wasn't much time for the "reunion" show. And like others said, WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too many ads.
It was totally rediculous. I switched channels every ad, and kept checking back, so they didn't get any of my attention. And the ads were sooo long, heck, I watched practically a whole show on another channel during commercials.

The Nets, in general, are so stupid. The are suffering from a seriously declining viewership, everyone going to cable, so their solution is ???? more commercials, AH DUH. Nobody changed channels when there was just one commercial every 10 minutes or so. (and yes, for those of you under 40, they actually did that)
Anyway, getting back to the point, I really like Rosie, thought she did a good job with what she had to work with. I'll bet that if you counted the minutes of actual show time, We started with 45 available, and probably a max of 30 was actual show. (possibly even less)

She could have been worse.. but it was pretty bad.

The other day Robin Williams was on her show and she did that "shout over the person I'm interviewing" shtick.. but Robin just rolled right over her.. yay.. it was the day one of the survivors or tars was on, so i stayed for Robin.. now there's an over the top person I enjoy..

I'm sooo tired.. gotta go, I keep telling myself..

then a tiny voice says.. "one more thread to check out"

I thought overall Rosie did a good job. Without knowing all the details, maybe there is a reason she didn't interview the others. They didn't announce the winnder until 10 minutes after the hour. And the number of commercials really cut into the time on the reunion show. Aren't they all going to be on the morning show this morning? Maybe they will interview them today. It will be a lot calmer and quieter too.

Had Rosie been as relaxed as she is on her own show she would have been better. She was too 'on'. Better than Bryant though.

Next year will be better. They will dissect this and correct the flaws.

I would rather see more of the reunion and shorten the end of the show. I was not interested in seeing so much of Neleh and Vee after they had won the final two. Watching them burn old clothes and reflect was too long.

Has anyone seen anything about a show with the Survivors after they got home? They did one after the Africa series.
I would like to see more of each of them after things calmed down.

I think overall Rosie did a good job. I could have done w/o the Gilligan song though, lol!

Rosie was excited, and it showed.
I agree for next season things will be tweaked and we will see a smoother post show.

All the Survivors looked great! Handsome and pretty and healthy.

Of course I was disapointed that Kathy didn't win, but looking fabu made it a little easier for me.

I think giving them all cars was a great idea and I'm sure Rosie had a hand in that, WTG Rosie!!

She said she asked if they could play a game and they, being CBS in sure, said she could.
So that would make it seem she had a hand in that.

Did you see that every one of the Survivor's had no problem in hugging, holding, or "glomping on" (In the case of Gabe and John when they won the cars. Anyone else see that?).

It just proved what Pappy said, that these people are even closer to you than most of your close friends.enko

I suspect that Saturn had more of a hand in the giving of the cars...

Great commercial for them... 16 deliriously happy people who will do anything to drive one of their cool new cars!

Good for them. It has always bothered me that the people who get booted early (pre-merge) get such a small amount of money.

Didn't Rosie already give Patricia a truck or SUV when she was booted? Or was it for Patricia to donate to somewhere?

I saw that Neko!

John has admitted to having a wee crush on Gabe, who is (by all accounts) extremely hetero (ice-skating and ballet aside), so when Gabe climbed John like a tree, all I could do was laugh at how John must be discomfited, but in a GOOD way!

I agree.. it was a win-win for Saturn but they were sponsors. Still pretty neat.. that all got them.. and it made sense that Vee didn't compete in that fake challenge because she won a car that night already. Sean deserves the second one; he worked hard in that challenge for his first one..

I love Gabe and I love John.
They're my babies. LoL
Along with Ethan and Colby.
Seems I go for the cute ones.

Lots of people have mentioned that there were too many commercials on the Reunion Show. I agree, but there was also too much filler-material that was really pointless, like faked footage of Jeff Probst's helicopter flight (presumably from the Marquesas Islands to NYC) and then his cab-ride to Central Park. What a waste of time to watch him climb out of the cab, pretend to PAY THE CAB DRIVER and then turn to leave, do a double-take and ASK THE DRIVER FOR A RECEIPT!!! As if the whole cab-ride wasn't pre-arranged and pre-paid by CBS. How stupid does CBS think that its viewers are? I'm just mad at the needless waste of on-air time!

I agree, the whole Jeff-in-the-helicopter was a little too much. It was just like the original Survivor, which I suppose with their whole "back to the beach" thing is what they were aiming for. The cab ride was even stupider - it was clear there was already a cameraman in the cab as little Jeffy sat there with his precious wooden box. Pfffttt. Incredibly fake and utterly stupid. If I was there in person I would have slapped the guy.

Now last season, with the recreated tribal council and *surprise* the vote reading was actually live, now THAT was impressive. This one was just stupid.

I think Jeff should have slipped the cab driver his "personal VISA card." It's worth the same amount of money Jeff paid him that he asked for the receipt for - nada.

Rosie made the show all about her. In fact, I was just waiting for her to say something along the lines of "OK everyone, that's enough talking about me. Vee, let's talk about you for a minute. What do you think about me?" I think 45 minutes was too short a time to make the reunion as big a production as they tried to do.

Memo to MB - My suggestion for next time - Have a two hour show where the final four get cut to the final two, and have the tribal council where the jury asks their questions and makes their votes just like this time. BUT

Then have us all come back the following Thursday for another 2 hour show in which the winner is revealed, and an interested interviewer (not a celebrity) spends the next hour and 45 minutes asking questions of all the Survivors, showing clips, and getting them all to reminisce.

More ratings, more suspense, more good stories and info for the fans.

And that's what I have to say about that.

Can't find a thread that fits this but on Entertainment Tonight, Mark Burnett was interviewed and the said there WILL be an all star Survivor featuring THE AUDIENCES favorite players from past games.
Maybe we get to vote????

Oh and ick... Sue Hawk was going to box Chynna on celebrity boxing and Tammy was asked to box Darva Conger. Ick.

Sigh.. thanks for the info Car.. makes me feel slimed.. Well I knew about the Darva Conger thing... she claims it is to pay for her wedding or some such nonsense.. whatever.. Sue Hawk.. well I guess it just figures..

All-Star Survivor.. I dunno.. seems to me that a once in a lifetime experience should be just that and the all star shows border on the pathetic.. like if you are available for a retread show then you didn't make much of your 15 minutes.

Ick.. yes.. perfect word.
