Did Troyzan ever explain what the "right" answer was to his question? I wasn't paying that much attention at the reunion.
It's sad, because the reunion was probably twice as interesting as that entire season.

I don't think he ever did, but then again I was only somewhat paying attention as well. It obviously wasn't getting Jonas out. I'm guessing he wanted something along the lines of getting himself out.
Troy never did explain the "Right" answer, even though the right answer was Kim dominated this season. I kind of lost respect for him when he voted for Sabrina. I felt like he was the only one who held a grudge. And how funny is Leif? He always writes the most random people down. And his wife was adorable. I would like to adopt both of them!
So the final 5 women did interviews with Rob Cesternino...
- Chelsea and Sabrina both admitted they didn't try to win because Kim deserved it.
- Sabrina said she got hired back once she got back from Samoa and that she was on Survivor within 3 weeks of talking to Mark Burnett.
- Alicia said the next time she plays she is wearing a sports bra and granny panties.
- Alicia is coming out with a single...she sings part of it. It is terrible.
Also, in Alicia's first Ponderosa video she and Kat almost come to blows! It's very entertaining.
[QUOTE=Help Desk;304773]anti-climactic ending to an anti-climactic season[/QUOTE]
This was a God awful season. The premise dictated the casting which in turn produced the result that production wanted. So not only was this season bad, it was absolutely predictable from the outset.
Mark Burnett and company decided to do men vs. women. In order to level the playing field, they dredged up a cast of male characters that had the lowest collective IQ of any tribe in history. You could have tossed in Albert Einstein and Steven Hawking into the mix and the tribes average IQ would still dictate a trip on the short bus to school.
From there, they cast the winning female (Kim) and surrounded her with a group of people so annoying and completely unlikable they made the female cast of I Love Money look classy.
The show itself was boring, without tangible drama and rote. If you were shocked by any of the eliminations, you might be a prime candidate for the next all male tribe.
End result? Finale ratings down 30% from last spring.
Go figure.
Does anyone else feel a little weird about the grand prize winner also winning fan favourite? I mean, it's better than the other option which would be Troyzan winning (assuming that the way it was announced was in the order of least votes to most votes), because I found him to be insufferable towards the end of his time on the island (and he compared himself to Hatch). In any other season with a different cast, I'd probably feel a little more strongly about it, but it still feels slightly uncomfortable to me. And I can see the other side of the argument. She did win it fair and square because some people found her to be likable and voted for her. Gah! I'm a torn.

It was inevitable that it would happen... not that Survivor would suck, but that we would disagree. No quarrel with your hilarious description of them men and inclusion of master sexual harasser Steven Hawking (treats women like s***); however, I found Kim, Chelsea, Kim, Monica and Sabrina (and to a degree, Kat for comic relief) the kind of people I enjoy in real life and am happy to see on TV occasionally.
One of the problems Burnett is having is that with the new back-to-back filming and nearly simultaneous casting, there is no time to study the audience reaction and access future production options with an eye to restoring the former luster of the series. Bringing back past cast members is a crutch which acknowledges past casting and production mistakes, but at the end of the day, it's only a band-aid approach to fixing the fundamental flaws in the show.
Unfortunately, this is not the kind of problem CBS can fix. They don't own "Survivor," Mark Burnett's company does. It's not like the Big Brother Season 1 failure after which CBS fired the production company and brought in Arnold Shapiro to change show direction. Burnett needs to find his own solutions soon, if he is not completely hands off on the show so he can personally manage the daily Trump agenda.

As noted above, both Bacchus and I have plans, to I'll have to defer consideration of the options until after I return from a brief adventure.

Haha...you don't have to convince me of that. Another indicator for me was reading the descriptions of episodes before they aired live. It would read stuff like "shocking blindside" and the like, and then I'd watch the episode and none of that stuff would happen.
But I think you're onto something with the I Love Money thing. Bring back all the Abrego/Cronin crowd for a special "trash vs. trash" season, and make the location be someplace like the worst part of Brooklyn.

Personally, I like the idea of Compton. The weather is usually better for the crew, and vevmo likes crew dogs.

If he explained it, CBS didn't care enough to tell us. I assume Kim's response was incorrect in his mind since he voted for Sabrina.
Personally, I think CBS and Probst were as tired of him as were a great many viewers.

I agree 100%. I even told Molds, the right answer was Kim played the best game. She would have rocked in any season. He really is a sore loser. He couldn't even appreciate how she played. I would love for him to explain his answer!

Survivor: SouthCentral, where they need to deal drugs to get food. Unless, someone in the cast is smart enough to get on welfare. My money is on Buckwild, from the hood of Rancho Cucamonga.

Its still too bad Colton went out early. Even though I disliked him, I think it would have made this season way more interesting, but I think Colton and Kim would have ended up taking each other out.
