Does anyone know, for sure, what Jeff meant by the Big Lie and Big Regret. I've read a lot of stuff, but it seems to be all conjecture. Has Jeff ever said the Big Lie was X and the Big Regret was Y?

Warrenn, I don't think he ever spelled it out. Most think that the Big Lie was Jon's grandmother story and the Big Regret was Osten quitting.

The Big Lie has to be Jon's lie about his grandmother, although I haven't heard any interview with Jeff where he says it was that.

I don't think we've had the Big Regret yet.

Not yet, but I imagine the big Lie was Jon's grandmother. Can't imagine anything being bigger than that.

I am wondering if the big regret is the guys going off on the reward challenge and leaving the girls behind. LOL.

Maybe the Big Regret is Burton taking Jon on the reward to the ruins, leaving the girls alone to plot...that's what I'D be regretting, for sure. I've never heard anything about Osten saying he regretted quitting the game, actually just the opposite.

I think you folks are right on the "regret". I think it'll come out in the reunion show. Osten's been gone to long & considered not important that it isn't him "throwing in the towel". It has to be Burton with the regret.

I'm thinking now that the big lie and the big regret might be related to the same thing. The big lie has to be Jon's lie about his grandmother dying. Jeff said previously that the big regret was something the person would have to live with for a long time, outside of Survivor. Jon has to deal with a lot of backlash from the public, thinking it was morally wrong to lie about a living person's death. I'm sure that's going to follow him for a long time. Might not be so easy to brush it off in the real world.

The Big Regret is Osten quitting. I think Jeff has said he just thought Osten would regret it more than he apparently now does.

Actually, I think Mark Burnett said picking Osten for S7 was the big regret.

No, I think it was shown in a countdown show last week with Hunter and our local weatherwoman..

After seeing the show tonight, I think it might be Lil taking Sandra instead of Jon. Whatever she says after the jury indicated they would have voted for her, it must bother her that she essentially gave away a million dollars.

The jury really can't say what they'd have done back then.. when asked about it now, after seeing the whole show.

Interesting that in tonight's show, Sandra figured it would be a close vote between her and Lill. But, not at all.

MB said picking Osten was a big regret on the countdown show last Thur

I think the big regret was from Lill. I don't think it was picking Sandra, though. I would guess it was either voting against Rupert since she expressed the most guilt over that, or else it was not leaving that uniform at home.

Hey Curlyq - I think you're right, she seemed to express the most regret about the boy scout uniform. Because of it, she was held to a higher standard than the others.

On the Early Show this a.m. Lill was asked if she had to do it all over again, would she pick Sandra again? She said yes. She said she did not agree with Jon's life style and if she wasn't going to win the million, she wanted Sandra to win it.

I give Lill a big round of applause for choosing Sandra over Jon.
