Survivor: Generic Thread (No Spoilers)

Wowza! [url=http://www.ajc.com/news/fayette/da-deputy-caught-judge-547307.html]DA: Deputy caught judge, public defender having sex | ajc.com[/url] [QUOTE]Chief Superior Court Judge Paschal English and Kim Cornwell, an assistant public defender, were caught having sex in a parked car in October 2008, according to documents released Friday by District Attorney Scott Ballard. A Fayette sheriff's deputy recognized English, and later learned that Cornwell was a public defender, Ballard said. The deputy's dashboard camcorder recorded part of the incident, but that video is no longer available, according to Sheriff Wayne Hannah. No charges were filed after the incident. "Beyond that, we don't know when the intimate relationship began," Ballard said Friday. After the two were discovered in the Water Lake subdivision, Cornwell represented defendants in 225 cases in Judge English's courtroom, Ballard said. Despite the relationship, the investigation did not find evidence of any wrongdoing in the courtroom, according to Jeff Turner, chief investigator. "I do not find any evidence that any instances where the state or defendant were harmed by actions of the court ever took place in Judge English's courtroom at all, much less when Kim Cornwell was the attorney for the defendant," Turner wrote about his investigation. Turner also said both English, 66, and Cornwell, 49, declined to comment for the investigation. In an unrelated incident, English resigned on April 23 after it became clear he had ignored a complaint from an attorney that she was being sexually harassed by another judge in the Griffin Judicial Circuit. Months earlier, attorney Susan Brown told English that she was being repeatedly harassed with crude comments by Superior Court Judge Johnnie Caldwell. Caldwell resigned April 19. Caldwell and English represented half of the county's Griffin Judicial Circuit’s Superior Court team. Cornwell was placed on administrative leave when allegations of the romance surfaced. After her resignation, Public Defender Joseph Saia and Ballard were asked to investigate the alleged affair. On June 1, Cornwell was placed on leave without pay, Saia said. English was a judge for 23 years. He appeared on the reality TV show “Survivor” in 2002.[/QUOTE]

Dalton Ross over at EW [url=http://www.ew.com/ew/gallery/0,,20451729,00.html]ranked the winners[/url] from the first 20 seasons. 20. [B]Natalie[/B] [B]White[/B], Samoa - One of the nicest people you'll ever meet, but she had no business winning. People that try to argue she deserved it over Russell are delusional. 19. [B]Amber Brkich[/B], All-Stars - She won only because the jury was too bitter to award the million to the person who actually played the best: her now-husband, Boston Rob. 18. [B]Aras Baskauskas[/B], Panama: Exile Island - Was overshadowed all season by Terry Dietz, who was undone by a final challenge that may have been inadvertently rigged against him. 17. [B]Vecepia Towery[/B], Marquesas - I suppose it could have been worse if Neleh won, but not by much. 16. [B]Sandra Diaz-Twine[/B], Heroes vs. Villains - She did not play an awful game by any means (although she was downright laughable in challenges), but Parvati and Russell played so much better. 15. [B]Bob Crowley[/B], Gabon - Admit it, if I just said the words "Bob Crowley" your first reaction would be "Who?" Your second reaction: "Ehhhhhhhhh…" 14. [B]Sandra Diaz-Twine[/B], Pearl Islands - I probably should put her higher, just for the sole fact that she prevented someone who had already been kicked out of the game (Outcast scout leader Lil) from winning. 13. [B]Jenna Morasca[/B], Amazon - She was Parvati before Parvati, using the social flirting game to her advantage. I love her like a sister, and have found her transformation from [I]Playboy[/I] party girl to socially conscious creature amazing — but this is as high as she gets. 12. [B]Ethan Zohn[/B], Africa - If this was a list of [I]Survivor[/I] winners I most respect and admire as people, he'd be #1, but I still wish my main man E had come through stronger in the final endurance challenge. 11. [B]Danni Boatwright[/B], Guatemala - She was in the minority alliance but flipped the script and then won when it mattered. 10. [B]Earl Cole[/B], Fiji - An awful season, but he controlled the game from start to finish, and was clearly the dominant person out there. 9. [B]Brian Heidik[/B], Thailand - An awful season, but he controlled the game from start to finish, and was clearly the dominant person out there. (Déjà vu!) 8. [B]Chris Daughetry[/B], Vanuatu - Was the last man standing against an all-female alliance, but got some ladies to flip and rode the wave to victory. 7. [B]Tina Wesson[/B], Australian Outback - Her best move was getting close enough to Colby so that he would make the ultimate mistake of bringing her to the finals to beat him. 6. [B]Todd Herzog[/B], China - He got a bit paranoid and scattered in the middle of the game, but his final Tribal Council performance was a work of absolute beauty. 5. [B]Yul Kwon[/B], Cook Islands - One of the smartest players ever, he leveraged his possession of the hidden immunity idol to get Jonathan Penner to flip, putting the numbers back on his side. 4. [B]J.T. Thomas[/B], Tocantins - It will be a long time before he lives down his infamous letter in [I]Heroes vs Villains[/I], but never has a cast been as awestruck and in love with someone as the [I]Tocantins[/I] folks were with J.T. 3. [B]Parvati Shallow[/B], Micronesia - The most frightening thing about this is that as amazing as she was in [I]Micronesia[/I], she was even better (in defeat) in [I]Heroes vs Villains[/I]. 2. [B]Tom Westman[/B], Palau - He dominated his season socially, strategically, and physically like no other. Was there ever any doubt at any point during the season that he would win? 1. [B]Richard Hatch[/B], Borneo - The guy who taught everyone else how to play the game. While everyone else was there to live in the wild, he was there to win. And when the snake finally devoured the rat, Richard Hatch became a reality icon.

[QUOTE=SurferZ;228522]I think Parvati's Micronesia game was overrated. She got extremely lucky with Fairplay's quit saving her in the first tribal council. Also with Jonathan Penner who always shake things up being med-evacuated.[/QUOTE] I dunno, Parvati arguably made one of the biggest moves in Survivor...ever. The Ozzy blindside was played perfectly.

[QUOTE=salt&vinegar;228538]I don't agree with that list at all. He seems very biased against anyone who beat Russel. It seems like he based it more on the the people that they played against than the actual winners game..[/QUOTE] Really? I think the top 6 is actually really accurate.
