They released the cast, Malcom's back, as well as Shep and Cochran.

Probst was implying that this season is supposed to be even better than last, so they better bring it.

because I can't take more Jeezus talk.

and might have to keep him around for some challanges.

There are plenty of enough gamers on the favorites side, but it could get boring with the lack of treachery ... these are some of the nicest people to ever play the game ...

I don't care about villainy as long as everyone tries to win, like last season.

she's downright bitchy.

Not the most exciting group of past players, but I'm ok with them, other than maybe Boehlke.

some organic oats BS...

http://robhasawebsite.com/francesca-hogi-survivor-caramoan-exit-interview/

I'm surprised that Fran is so 'mad' about what happened (Dawn and Cochrane), and that the episode is actually affecting the real NYC Survivor crew (Fran vs Andrea).

http://espn.go.com/espnradio/grantland/player?id=8963425

He has no fear about being voted off, which means you pretty much can't mess with him on any sort of intimidation level.

Looking at some of my pre-season notes (yeah, nerd), I had Sherri all wrong. In her CBS interview, she just came off as miserable, and I thought she would be the first boot from her tribe, but I'm really impressed by how level headed she is. The way she was able to defuse the "vote out Shamar" situation was some good social game.

just watched last episode. fans made right move. time to shake up tribes though imo

wouldn't be surprised if he was the Joe Pesci of that crew. He was the goon they sent out to take a bat to someone's head.

"jesus" into literally everything he said in his last season...he was tryna make up for something he's done.

The kid is clearly a sociopath.

but he was right about Phil.

Brandon did...this kid sticks out like a sore thumb socially.

Shep is just trying to screw around a bit to make camp life more fun. Sure he's a bit full of himself, but he actually HAS won challenges for the favorites.

he saw through Phil's giving him a stupid name and knew he was still on the outside. What he did with that insight was incredibly stupid but he was going to be voted out in the near future if he remained with the favs.

That dude was roiding. Got gals crying and shaking. Wildest Survivor ending yet.

finale reunion. In Brandon's last reunion Probst asked Russy what he thought of Brandon's game and he said he played horribly and basically disgraced the Hantz name. THIS time? Taking himself out the game with his behavior when the favorites were killing it in numbers? Oh boy this gonna be good....

In that situation Russ would've caused dissent against Phil, by hiding something and blaming him, or publically asking the other cast members if they like being given demeaning names. But throwing the rice out? That's mental. I mean I never thought I'd see the day when Phillip looked like a sane, well-adjusted human being for a whole episode.

>I mean I never
>thought I'd see the day when Phillip looked like a sane,
>well-adjusted human being for a whole episode.

Seems like he's playing with a mean streak after what happened last season.

good comedy and good drama. Cochran's dating comments before the immunity challenge made me lol.

But yeah...there may have been a blindside tonight, but there's no way this tentative group of 7 holds for very long. Kinda sad for Corinne, I like her.

whats wrong with these fools

I don't think I could do that. There must have been a rule that you can't plug your nose either, because I didn't see anyone doing that.

that was dope.

I can't remember a tribal council that good since Heroes vs Villains.

Good save by Malcolm though. Clearly his name is out there, but he got to keep his idol in pocket. It'll buy him a little more time.

Sup with Purple Brenda?

Even when she wins immunity, we're getting NOTHING from her.

I'll even put him above Sandra. There's no way he can get out of this.

It may actually work tho, he can play both sides with what he said.

I'm curious as to why Sherri wasn't an option.

I wonder how much talking Jeff let them do. He's been known to cuss people out at tribal, and I'm sure he and production wanted to keep the panic vibe going as long possible.

That don't talk to anyone outside our circle if you do your gone. Thats why phil said andrea at first.

I think if the 3 amigos showed their idols to erik or andrea before tribal they might have been flip them and hold on to an idol or two.

I have to admit, I got caught up in the excitement of Malcolm's big (television) move last week, but when that shit died down and I heard it broken down...he probably could have tried other moves.

You always want to get those extra 3 days. Keep pocketing those idols and hope for the best at immunity challenges.

the immunity advantage, but he got his first so he probably wasn't expecting another advantage to be sold.

I wonder how easy it is to get drunk when you're playing this game...I'm thinking Malcolm must have been feeling those 3 beers being that deprived of nutrition and hydration. Andrea would have been toasted off that glass of wine.

why they let Cochran get the immunity help is beyond me when those 3 know they could use any advantage to stay another 3 days and that was a huge advantage getting to keep the knot

and fuck Andrea sitting there, might as well still look for the damn thing and have the other 2 helping as well

still thought Sherry or Erik might flip but oh well, looks like Im rooting for Cochran now

really bizarre.

Honestly, Malcolm should have made a bigger deal about the idol than he did. If the girl is gonna follow you, you gotta enlist Eddy and Reynold to pull her away. Even PHYSICALLY pull her away if it comes down to it. Malcolm said he thought he was safe though and wouldn't have played it anyway, but you never know.

And now that Malcom's gone, Andrea is the only person who knows where the idol is, unless he told the other guys where to look. Advantage Andrea though, let's see if she's smart enough to go scoop that thing immediately.

a Dawn, Brenda, Sherri final 3. Otherwise one of the guys will have a good shot to win....even Erik.

>..even Erik.

the final, based on immunities alone. I would guess Erik. Not sure if the jury will respect Erik's game, though. Maybe if he can make them believe his flip flopping was intentional.

I actually think Erik has done a good job this season...I was impressed that he pulled the trigger on Andrea, since earlier in the season he mostly followed her, probably just because she's hot. So, that shows he's actually interested in winning.

Not sure if anyone watches Big Brother Canada (or any version for that matter), but the finale had an unbelievable voting tank that cost someone the win.

http://youtu.be/15N1yYDDviI?t=1h25m45s

b) what did that replay show???

>b) what did that replay show???

You mean you weren't expecting the camera to catch one of these guys swapping the vote when no one was looking?

http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs4/i/2004/255/1/0/Spy_vs_Spy_Bust_by_DaveIgo.jpg

So Clearly she was voting to evict instead of win.

Being as its the 1st season in Canada I can kinda see the confusion if shes never seen the other shows. Still hilarious that it cost dude half a 3/4s of a mill.....if thats the prize in Canada

that'll be sad, especially if it's Cochran or Dawn :(

I really want this dude to win.

good shit

A lot of people are catching feelings over this. Part of the game, maing.

She was a hardcore 'threat.' Everyone liked her, she's pretty smart (though perhaps not smart enough to see this coming), and she's a beast in challenges.

If Cochran gets to the final, I don't see any scenario where he doesn't win. He's gotta be the next target for the other contestants.

might be best to half-ass those

They may need to throw in an incentive to win these reward challenges (clue to an idol/immunity challenge advantage)

So glad fake teeth didn't win. Hate people like that

a mile away....Andrea on the other hand is cool as shit, and equally as hot. And she from Wisconsin...GOOD!

Lmao at that Hatch clip during the reunion...da hell was that?

smh at Boston Rob's book...these people are such characters, not hating though. Pretty funny.

Poor bastard Erik got pulled in the finale episode, and they didn't even let him speak on anything during the reunion :(

What's with all the non-jury members having to sit in the corner?

Congrats to Cochran. Dawn played a great game as well. Reminded me of Denise a little bit holding it down in challenges all season and not being afraid to cut people. Denise better though, obviously.

And Brenda basically proved how much dawn was full of shit,

I was out of my seat cheering Cochrane on during the final challenges.

All the bullshit thrown at Dawn is a little unfair. I saw some of the tweets that were sent to her before she shut her shit down. Pretty nasty. People were getting blindsided (by Dawn and others) throughout the season, and it shouldn't be a problem just because one of the victims happens to be hot. One of the things that came up a lot is that Dawn annoyed people with her paranoia and crying. Yeah, that shit was annoying to watch, but as a player, if you let that shit throw you off, and you let her get further in the game, that shit is on you. Don't be mad.

Gameplay wise, it might not have been the best move to vote out Brenda at that moment (I've seen arguments both ways), but all this personal business? Fuck that. These are all returning players, you know how the game goes. Do NOT let your guard down.

I'm glad Sherri spit that hot fiya at Eric. It's fine that you don't think she played the best game, but going out of the way to embarrass her, that's some needless Hollywood shit. Direct your questions to Dawn and Cochrane, and keep it moving.

The teeth moment at tribal was some surreal shit.

I like that the non jury members were off stage. Don't really care what any of them have to say anyway. I liked seeing Rudy and Hatch, and the idea of giving older players some shine, but yeah, they probably could have done something better.
