[quote=darksamurai88;4175]The other All Stars are going to drop Jonny Fairplay like a hot potato. The first immunity challenge they lose, they will probably vote him out! I would....[/quote] He has to be at the top of any list to get rid off. His annoying persona is well documented and he is obviously the most unethical schemer in the history of Survivor. I don't even know who would get second place! I'd say his days were numbered, but....he did disappear for 3 months. That in itself would make me think that he at least made it to the jury, unless they sequestered everyone this season all the way from the first voted off. I am not sure how they do that these days with this show.

I am personally a bit disappointed in the "All-Stars" as I am not a big fan of most of them. I absolutely hate, Jonathan, Parvati and Ms. Fair Play. I was hoping that an actual [B]ALL STAR[/B] would make the cast. Someone that did well on the show and deserved to come back (Terry Deitz and Colby?) I am not talking about people like Cirie who was an obvious "dragger" on her cast. You know, the type that you drag along as there is no way in hell they can win. Survivor has become all about them. Even though I was not pulling for Ozzy during his season, he is really the only "Survivor" of the entire bunch (With Yao being the ultimate tribal mastermind.) The rest would die in three days if it were not for the fact that there was a Hollywood set built around their campsite with rice, utensils, pots, pans and clean drinking water conveniently placed in giant kegs for them within walking distance....

I saw that she was in the calendar. I'll tell you what it was v1man, her outright statement that she was just using her womanly charm to control the men. Sure, we all know it to be true -but to say it? Just wrong! ;) She was also on "the other tribe" that season and once I choose a tribe, I stay the course! For some reason I find it alright to dig up Real World/Road Rules spoilers, but always stay away from Survivor spoilers. If I was to know the elimination order and all that stuff on Survivor I probably would not watch, but with the RW/RR I want to know and when I find out I still watch. Strange.

[quote=V1man;4248]There was a much larger group of survivor vets who were preparing to go. Some of them apparently didn't know they were backups to the ones Burnett wanted. Colby was one of those getting ready to go, but he didn't get picked. He is a terrific guy. I'm sorry he isn't wasn't on the final list.[/quote] I am surprised he was not on the final list. He seemed to be a fan favorite, especially with the ladies. I guess he was a little long in the tooth in the mind of Burnett in trying to cater to the newest generation of fans, who have only seen 3 or 4 seasons of the show.

[quote=V1man;4249] Men generally don't like it when women tell the truth, LOL! They do control us and usually only other women are privy to the secret.[/quote] Exactly. I like living with the knowledge that I am the master of my domain - [I]even if it is a blatant lie![/I] ;) [quote=V1man;4249] She had to say it several times for the camera. [/quote] I so hate that they do this. Why can't they just roll with the footage that they get rather then resort to re-shoots? Ugh! Anyways, I'll cut Parvati some slack and let her have a her second take (unlike Dalton who used his up years ago.)
