My favorite was at the Final TC in Survivor I. Jeff says I'll go tally the votes and down comes a helicopter and flies him away. The castaways just sat their with their mouths wide open. They had no clue that was going to happen!

In S1, the result was revealed right after voting, not live at the reunion show. That was the only time they did that because they quickly figured out that it would be too difficult to keep the results secret for the 3-4 months until broadcast time if the final 9 already knew who won. You're probably thinking of S2.

I was wondering if I was on the wrong survivor, Spear. Thanks for cluing me in. Which one was it that they tried to "fool" us into thinking that we were still at TC and we were in studio. Was that III?

I think it was Australia, because I remember some people were clued in by the fact that Colby was not fitting very well into his shorts anymore!

Well, I think the contestants in Australia were surprised that the votes weren't going to be revealed until the live show but I don't think they really tried hard to fool the audience then because Colby was clean shaven and Tina was all made up. They first tried the trick the next season (Africa). They actually told Ethan and the male jury members not to shave about a month before the live show. They did the same thing for S5 (Thailand) and to a lesser extent, S7 (Pearl Islands). For the rest, the contestants were allowed to dress up. For S4, they didn't even bother to replicate the TC set for the live show.

Wow, Spear...you're memory is prodigious for details! I'm impressed, kiddo.

Thanks Rupertbear, but I could be wrong. . My memory is definitely not what it used to be. Also, it's a little embarrassing to remember all these trivial things and yet forget more useful things like names of old acquaintances!

Oh I hear ya, we're all in the same boat but you obviously pay attention to detail or you wouldn't remember these things. Good going!

My TV guide shows it as one hour. CBS has Survivor at 8PM , CSI at 9PM and Without a Trace at 10PM.

The Office Tribe Has Spoken: These categories didn't seem to us to cover the true Survivor experience, so Sideshow held an office tribal council to come up with some more appropriate honors: BEST FIRST EJECTION: John Raymond, the minister who so annoyed his Thailand tribemates in their first three days that he was unanimously sent packing at the first tribal council. MOST BONEHEADED STRATEGY MOVE: Lex van den Berghe protecting Amber Brkich in All-Stars when he had the chance to take her out. BEST TROLLOP: (tie) Jenna Morasca and Heidi Strobel in Amazon. BEST GIGOLO: Rob Mariano in All-Stars. BEST DRESSED: Andrew Savage, whose Armani suit jacket got almost as much screen time as he did on Pearl Islands. BEST ROB/ROBB/ROBERT: Rob Cesternino for his performance in Amazon. BEST COUNTRY BOY: Tom Buchanan, Africa and All-Stars, in a close vote over Thailand's Clay Jordan. BIGGEST WIMP: Osten Taylor, Pearl Islands, the first person to quit a Survivor series. BIGGEST EMBARRASSMENT TO HIS OR HER PROFESSION: Lillian Morris, the inept Boy Scout leader on Pearl Islands. BEST POST-"SURVIVOR" MOVE TO COVER HIS OR HER PROFESSIONAL POSTERIOR: Keith Famie, the Outback chef who couldn't cook rice and ended up with a show on the Food Network. SCARIEST TRIBEMATE: Matthew Von Ertfelda, often seen lovingly sharpening knives in Amazon. Show host Jeff Probst once said during a conference call with reporters that many of the other contestants thought he was nuts. COMPLETE ARTICLE

Lol...those a truly funny, Gen...thanks. Although I take exception to their portrayal of Matt. I think he really got a raw deal on his season.

Thanks Jan, and Rupertbear. I set it already- I just set it to take from 7 until 9 in case there are any possibilities of mix-ups!

I still love Matt! Wish he would have been around this time and I also wish Rob C. would have lasted longer. I really enjoyed the two of them on their edition. I never thought Matt was nuts... just making them think he was. Plus, he was a great competitor. He should have won. He and Rob C should have been the final 2... not Jenna... but I like her now and I'm over it. lol
