Survivor: Generic Thread (No Spoilers)

[QUOTE=Aquatta;147232]Agree with everything you said about Fiji, I absolutely hated that season. Probably the worst season ever. [/QUOTE] Wait, what? We agree on something? Someone take a picture :D [QUOTE]I loved PI, just loved Fairplay and Rupert combo along with Sandra. I love that she won the game and I still dont see how, she never won a single immunity challenge but yet won the game. Guess that's where the social aspect comes into play. I loved Sandra and how she would go off on people & she was very loyal and smart. She was a good winner in my eyes, glad she is back for HVV.[/QUOTE] Rewatching Pearl Islands, I do have a lot more respect for the season. I wouldn't go as far as saying that Sandra is one of my least favorite winners ever now (she still isn't one of my favorites, and I explained why in the HVV spoiler thread), but I am standing firm on Lil. She was still pretty awful. [QUOTE]Agree that Thailand was pretty bad, my least fave seasons are Thailand, Fiji, Amazon (first & only season I stopped watching), and probably Tocantins. Favorite seasons would be Borneo (of course), Pearl Islands, & Cook Islands.[/QUOTE] I would add Gabon to the least favorite list and add Micronesia to the favorites. Other than that, pretty spot on.

[QUOTE=Aquatta;147234]Oh wow what a crime that he didnt make the show. I mean Tyson made it over Shane? Coach is enough, we dont need his sidekick on the show with him again. What in the heck were they thinking? Bad move. I wouldve loved to have seen Shane back along with EI Courtney over Danielle. They were probably the best duo of that season. One of my favorite seasons ever.[/QUOTE] Somewhere around here is the blog that Shane wrote about not being picked. He was pissed. He got screwed, and he made sure that everyone knew about it.

[QUOTE=Aquatta;147272] I loved Micronesia as well, reading this thread reminds me of how good that season was and I loved Chet, Kathy & their friend with the big *****. That was a pretty good season as well. As I have said before I also liked Exile Island so I would add that as a fave of mine.[/QUOTE] I can't stand Kathy. I can't stand Kathy because she quit. She agreed to go on a show that [I]thousands[/I] of people would kill to get on and she just up and quit. I feel the same way about Osten...actually, I feel worse about him. As Christa said, "he's probably the biggest puss I've ever met". That kind of stuff makes me feel that the physical and psychological tests they put potential people through don't mean ****. Big ***** McGee was Tracy, btw.

Speaking of quitting...I believe that Jenna Morasca was the only Survivor ever to leave the game without having been to tribal council on All-Stars. I'm not including whatever season it was (Palau?) where they voted 2 people off immediately, because they never actually played the game.

[QUOTE=asamber1;147305]I believe PG from China also choose not to go on FVF.[/QUOTE] Tom Westman, Shane and Yul were also asked. Tom declined. I don't know about Peih Gee.

[QUOTE=asamber1;147312]I have always been skeptical that Yul and Tom were actually asked. I think that could be something they just told people who were mad they weren't on. I was pretty sure "No Winners" was determined for that season. But i could be wrong. I was always skeptical Tom and Yul were actually asked. [/QUOTE] [url=http://www.survivorfever.net/s16_jp_teleconference.html]Survivor Season 16 Cast Information[/url] [QUOTE]Question: In selecting the people for this season, what was your role and who did you want that you couldn't get? JP: We did something interesting with casting of the favorites. We refer to it as "the big con". We alluded to the fact that there would be 20 people on the season. So when we started talking to the favorites they figured there must be 20 favorites going, it's an All Stars season. So, we had 20 people on the hook thinking they were going. Knowing all along we were only taking 10 and that the other 10 were going to be fans. That for us was important because we knew all these guys were talking on the phone to each other and trying to build alliances before the show even started. So we wanted to complicate it a little bit. I think it worked. [B]Some of the people that we wanted on the show and just didn't have a spot for...Shane from Exile Island. Yul, we wanted back. A couple of the people that we wanted that didn't want to do it were Tom Westman from Palau. I ran into Tom in New York. We were talking. I said, "If we ever did another All Star, would you do it?" He said, "There's no chance. Look at how it played for me. I came out as a hero. Everything went my way. I'm the fireman who was the nice guy and won. All I would do is tarnish that image. I'm not going through it again." The other person we really wanted back was Courtney from last season. She didn't want to do it either. [/B] So we had a couple people turn us down. But for the most part as you can imagine it was a feeding frenzy of favorites calling our casting director, pleading their case as to why they would make a good choice. [/QUOTE]

All-Stars, Fans vs Favorites, and Heroes vs Villians all have featured castmembers who either made the jury or final TC on their original season except for Boston Rob (Marquesas) and Shii Ann (Thailand). As for the 3-peats, Jerri, Boston Rob and Colby were the only two that were only in one jury/final TC while the rest are all 2/2.
