""Be The Survivor" S36 Ep08: "Merger Beers Don't Keep You Sharp""

Reunited and it feels so good? Dom and Chris answer the same craigslist ad and find themselves cohabitating once again. Chris has the abs amulet and the model's "me me me" potion, but Dom is rockin' the Legacy Advantage so it may boil down to a classic Mortal Kombat Scorpion vs. Sub-Zero battle to the snuff.

While Chris and Dom compare headshots and mob connections, let's examine other questions that are swirling in the universe. Namely... do Sebastian's eyebrows have their own agent? Is Donathan secretly taking a break from his day job as the lead attorney for POTUS? As a Model and a Realtor, does Michael get confused when he walks into a model home? And does Laurel Johnson like her oatmeal lumpy*?

1. "RE: "Be The Survivor" S36 Ep08: "Merger Beers Don't Keep You Sharp""
FINDING/CONCLUSION #1 – Chris was the latest castaway to capitalize on sleeping tribemates. Forget learning basic survivor skills, i.e. starting fire and getting by with less than minimal food portions. It would serve future players casted for Survivor well to condition their bodies to operate on the fewest hours of sleep in order to maximize their chance for success in the game.

FINDING/CONCLUSION #2 – Libby needs the same boat boy who brought Chris to GI to sneak her over to the Ponderosa so she can pucker up and give Chris a big sloppy kiss. His decision to not play his idol and keep the curse alive is what’s allowing her to wake-up in camp on Day 23.

FINDING/CONCLUSION #3 – Even though Chris’s decision equated to Ep. 7 dumb-ass luck for Libby, she’s still in trouble. Last TC makes the THIRD one where her name has come up. The Commission determines she has three options: 1) Win individual immunity. To her credit she hung tough at the last IC, but not sure how many more will put a premium on balance. 2) Skank herself out to the remaining male castaways. 3) Put her pretty little tush in gear, sacrifice the beauty sleep she doesn’t need, and start searching for an idol/advantage.

FINDING/CONCLUSION #4 – “Clutch,” “Suave,” “Stealthy,” “Noble One.” All superlatives Chris used to describe himself this past episode. The Aruba Commission will now allow reality to factor into the equation and offer these...Narcissistic, Obnoxious, Delusional, and Greedy...and that only scratches the surface. Here’s the most appropriate one: Jury Member

FINDING/CONCLUSION #5 – Sebastian, Chelsea, and Kellyn are all original Navitis who wrote down (Naviti) Chris’s name at the last TC. No doubt a select few viewers will most likely regard that as disloyal. The Survivor haberdasher will have his hands full designing turn”coats” for all this “disloyalty.” *SNORT*

FINDING/CONCLUSION #6 – The Commission is still working on a conclusion to decipher the only pertinence Sebastian had in this episode when at TC he was drawing a correlation between “trusting his gut” and allowing a “douche” to come onto his boat? Where do they find these scatterbrains??

FINDING/CONCLUSION #7 – Dom owns up to the fact he put a target on himself by opening up his piehole on Day One drawing attention to himself. So, what does he do on Day One of the merge? He opens up his same piehole to offer a cheesy toast that was received by most of the onlookers with a “Shut the hell up” glance. And why did he repeat the same boneheaded blunder? The Aruba Commission presents its conclusion in eight words:
You are...who you are...who you are!

#1: Chris didn't capitalize on anything.

#2: True but that's really telling us how Michael isn't considered important.

#3: Libby's mistake was in agreeing with James to vote out Morgan. Morgan's parting words have made it impossible for Libby to skate by like Jenna has. It would have been smarter to vote out Dominick right then but then this season's story would have completely gone down the drain...

#4: The most appropriate way to describe Chris is "puppet." He did everything Jeff wanted from him.

#5: Sebastian was certainly disloyal but since the vote was between two Navitis, we'd have to know for sure which side Kellyn and Chelsea were on before saying they were disloyal.

#6: Like all others before him Sebastian was found in the USA.

#7: Dom's merger toast was well received. So well in fact that 9 people helped him get rid of his arch-nemesis.

#1 – Chris needed to slip away without being noticed. He was able to do so because all the others were sleeping. Thus, he becomes the latest castaway to capitalize on his sleeping tribemates.

#2 – The Commission would ask how Michael applies to your response on Libby being the lucky benefactor of Chris not playing his idol, but it would (no doubt) be a reach SOOOO drastic you’d risk a major shoulder separation.

#3 – Libby’s striking appearance with this current cast is what’s making it impossible for her to skate by like Jenna.

#4 – If you continue to be on the same wavelength as the conspiracy theorists who believe the CIA developed the AIDS virus in a laboratory to try to eliminate homosexuals or insistence to another gunman in the grassy knoll to dispute the Warren Commission, then, should your conspiracies have merit, a current word to describe Chris today would be “whistleblower.”
Precedent has been set, Michel!

#5 – Last week you specifically stated, “Loyalty is loyalty.” Now because you've been called out on yet another inconsistency, you need a yeah “but” to try to serve your own personal agenda.

#6 – Like DUHHHH, of course Survivor USA selects players from USA. Golly gee...what would the Commission ever do without your deep thought-provoked enlightenment???

#7 – Chris’ boot from the game had nothing to do with Dom’s silly “Dilly, Dilly.” Donathan and Angela’s expressions resembled a look you would have walking out of a port-a-john that hasn’t been maintained in over a month. The only genuine positive response came from Chris...but that was because Dom opened the door for Chris to break out in an annoying rap Wendell referenced to when voting him out. CHRIS was the reason Chris was eliminated.

#1: What good did it do him though? If you play the winning numbers of the lottery but lose the ticket, you've won diddly squat.

#2: No reach at all: The Naviti women dismissed Michael from consideration because Libby was way more dangerous. So, the fact that Libby was on the block instead of Michael shows how insignificant he's seen by the others.

#3: Jenna isn't bad looking either.

#4: You don't know a thing about precedents! Why would Chris, a model, want to have a whole network against him? He'd be blackballed in an instant. Anyway, here's what Probst had to say about Chris: "The star of the entire sequence was Chris. He really went for it and it was authentically risky to his game. He had to leave camp, race to Ghost Island, and sprint into the jungle, quickly figure out the mechanics of the game and decide if he wanted to play and then get back as fast as he could.

I loved that he played and that he went for it. That’s honestly what you dream of when you put these twists into the game. You pray for people who want to play. Chris gave us everything we could ask for in a player."

Right now, Chris is in Probst, Burnett and SeeBS' good side, a sure lock for a reinvitation on Survivor, even TAR or BB if he wants. Maybe he can even get TV commercials (just like Woo did) or a role in a TV show if he can act. Why throw it all away for the headaches of a lawsuit?

The cynic in me really liked Probst turn of phrase when he said Chris gave them everything they could ask for. Yep, Jeff, including following the script of his own elimination.

#5: Michael had pledged loyalty to Brendan, Stephanie and Jenna. We specifically heard him say that. We never heard Kellyn or Chelsea pledging loyalty to Chris but we did hear Sebastian say he was on Chris' side so we KNOW Sebastian was disloyal but we cannot be sure about the other two.

#6: As a Canadian, I was taking a shot at you guys! But I have to say that the Survivors from France and Great Britain have proven to be much more endurant than most Americans contestants. Comfort is making you soft while your public education system is producing idiots like Sebastian.

#7: 9 people voted with Dom so his toast at TC wasn't a mistake. Angela always looks like she just swallowed a rotten sardine. I can just imagine how she'll look when she's forced to eat sea slugs next week!!

#1 - Chris took a risk and it didn’t pay off. The risk ended up not good for him because it’s wasn’t a guarantee. AHHHHH, that’s why it’s called a...”risk.”

#2 - Although Michael has bigger lolos than Libby, Libby is far more attractive making her FAR more dangerous. The pretty women haters club had no reason to be jealous of Michael.

#3 - Had you mentioned Chelsea, the Commission might have met you hallway, but Jenna (although somewhat decent in the looks department) cannot come close to meriting the same consideration when assessing Libby’s stunning attractiveness.

#4 - Precedent is EXACTLY what has been established. If Survivor is “fixing” its seasons, this goes way beyond Chris as far as those who could “spill the beans.” For every former castaway getting another invite or other DAW opportunities, many many more fall off the face of Reality TV never to be heard from again.

How “convenient” you not mention a former loser who arguably capitalized more than anyone from Survivor—Coby Donaldson. Naturally, you’ll omit him (no doubt) and “Rumpelstiltskin” an explanation why he does not apply since your gal Tina was the beneficiary of his boneheaded blunder.

#5 - So “loyalty is loyalty” except (of course) when Michel Wednesday decides it’s NOT loyalty to serve HIS purposes.

#6 - You’re right...much to the chagrin of the Commission, our nation has become pathetically soft. Especially when at these recent Winter Olympic Games our grown men start crying over winning the Gold Medal in...Curling?!!!

Thank you for qualifying “PUBLIC” education system; especially when our public school districts are forced to take every non-English speaking illegal immigrant dumped in our classrooms. Although idiots like Sebastian and those like him are not a result of any education establishment.

#7 - Even a Spin Doctor like yourself would have no chance convincing anyone Dom’s “Dilly, Dilly” had anything to do with Chris’ boot. But, you’re right about Angela...no convincing needed there.

15. "RE: "Be The Survivor" S36 Ep08: "Merger Beers Don't Keep You Sharp""
#1: The funny thing is that Chris would have survived if he HADN'T raken the full risk. Had he not chosen to risk his vote or even if he had lost on the first pick, he would have had to play his idol. I'm sure though that production put two congratulations on the first pick just to give him the choice of dying.

#2: It's not only the women though; Dom and Wendell have both mentioned that Libby is very dangerous. They've also dismissed Michael as a threat.

#3: Jenna isn't considered a strategic threat. In fact, she could look like Miss Universe and still wouldn't get voted out before Libby if she'd stay as quiet.

#4: Chris wouldn't blow the whistle because he got paid and got praises from Jeff. Most players who have fallen off the face or reality TV simply had nothing to spill. It's not every player that gets involved in the rigging.

And not mentioning Colby wasn't for convenience; I simply never thought of him for this discussion. I don't even see why you bring him up. Are you suggesting he should have been a whistleblower? What would he have to say? Burnett was running Survivor back then while I'm saying the game has started being fixed under Probst. Anyway, Colby wouldn't blow any whistles because he got what he wanted from Survivor.

#5: Please read what I wrote. Loyalty is loyalty when you pledge loyalty. Chris and Dom were both on Naviti but they certainly had no reason to be loyal to each other. Michael pledged loyalty to Stephanie and to James but he didn't stay loyal to either. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

#6: Putting the fault on illegal immigrants is such a cop out. First of all, immigrants are OFTEN the best students and they never represent more than a few percent of the total population.

Public education is pityful in our Western world because that suits the elite: They get dumb workers who aren't smart enough to unionize while the kids of the elite get private education and they keep the power.

#7: Let's see if ANYONE other than Chris has ANYTHING to say negative about Dom. The players will settle this for us. I'm saying he'll get the boot because he's a strategic threat NOT because he is an irritant.

#1 - Truth be told, Chris IS a risk-taker. He said so himself. He is who he is. He was going to continue climbing that GI ladder until he successfully reached the highest level or until the GI Soup Nazi said, “NO VOTE FOR YOU!” That risk-taking trait carried over into TC. He was who he was.
You wrote, “I'm sure though that production put two congratulations on the first pick just to give him the choice of dying.” Yeah, OK, so why not also be “sure” the British Special Police wanted to silence Princess Diana, so deliberately set up a murder plot just to give Lady Di a chance of “dying” as well.

#2 - If Dom and Wendell were a couple of single, unattached, horny toad male castaways, you’re point would be well taken. But Dom has a family and Wendell has a GF we ALL know is smitten over. So they both are honorary members of the Jealous Beautiful Women Haters Club.

#3 - If Jenna was hotter than Libby, then Jenna would be the target.

#4 - Colby was brought up in response to your “I hate Tony” self-conspired Woo theory. Colby received MUCH more than Woo after their seasons. Yet you inconsistently would never self-conspire a similar theory about Colby because one of your favorites would benefit as a result.
Bellyachers cried “Foul” in the very first season at Bonero, so please do not muddy the water with “that was early on when EPMB ran the show,” yadda, yadda, yadda... And it’s not the least bit surprising you would contend not every player has any knowledge about a “fix.” This way you can continue to conveniently and inconsistently hand-pick who you say is “on the take” depending on who you like or dislike.

#5 - We’re reading what you wrote. “Loyalty is loyalty.” Your backpedaling efforts surfaced AFTER a period ( . ) was placed at the end of that initial statement.

#6 - You don’t live in this country, so your lack of knowledge on the subject is noted and understandable.

#7 - Players have said a lot about the Dom vs. Chris power struggle. Whereas Chris did more to rub players the wrong way, Dom was not given a pass. A fair amount of disgust and blame was rightfully put on Dom as well.
Funny, when a player says much more than “anything” and goes on to SPECIFICALLY state a physical challenge threat is being targeted putting the ADS in motion, we never hear you appropriately state, “the players settled for that for us” based on their specific statements.
How convenient for you...

So, who did she meet under the bleachers? Seymore Butts, that’s who!

Ha Ha, never heard that one before I’ll bet. Yes, you guessed it, it is I, your favorite comedian and spoiler host, and I got a thousand of them - spoilers of course, but also jokes just as good or better than that one.

Rumor Mills here, broadcasting the latest and greatest Survivor Spoilers in the history of the universe in this dimension as well as in each and every one of the infinite number of other dimensions (and that’s a lot of dimensions, I tell you whut) from my lavish studio atop the highest palm tree (named aptly enough, Big ol’ Tall Palm Tree) on Survivor Island which just happens to be located in the island paradise that is the Fiji archipelago. Fiji federal regulations require that periodically I identify myself, so this is K-ISLE, 101.1 on your FM radio dial. Please, if you love poor orphans around the world, and if you really want to show your neighbor that you are more pious than he or she. Or they. Or It. And if you also like cute kitty cats, send in your pledge and make it possible to keep this radio station on the air for another season.

We request that all donations be made in US dollars, cash only, using bills with un-sequential serial numbers. Also gold bullion is acceptable. Remember, it’s all for a worthy cause and none of it will be used to buy me a Maybach. That one in the parking lot? Don’t know where it came from, and I’m pretty sure that these Mercedes keys won’t fit it. Probably just one of Jeff’s rides. Yeah, that’s it, it’s one of Jeff’s rides. We hate Jeff, don’t we!

OK, here we go, don’t touch that dial because the fun is just beginning.

AMG Spoiler #1: I knew JT, and Chris is no JT. He’s just your regular ordinary dumbass. Well, perhaps way way dumber than your ordinary dumbass depending on which part of the country you are from, but unquestionably a very very dumb dumbass.

AMG Spoiler #2: While we’re on that subject, get ready for the most predictable self-deluded exit interview yet this season.

AMG Spoiler #3: Bizarro world’s nicest strategic set up. After the masterful manipulation of his fellow castaways to isolate Wendell and Dom and put in motion his plan to get one of them voted out, Chris manages to get exactly ZERO votes for them, and ELEVEN votes for himself. There is a tie in between this spoiler and spoiler #2.

AMG Spoiler #4: This TC features guts galore. Everyone’s guts are on display. Lex’s gut is humbled. Hopefully we never have to hear about anyone’s guts again, but we all know in our gut that that is just useless hoping.

AMG Spoiler #5: For God’s sake, Chris, why the drama? If you want to get an advantage in the middle of the night without arousing suspicion, just fake taking a pee. Blame #2 stopperage or kidney stones if anyone wonders. Or you fell in. Actually, I blame production for probably prompting Chris to go all Jason Borne sneaky spy on us. But did he just have to do it so badly, and with such ridiculous dialog? Well, yeah, I guess, being as it was Chris, there was no other way.

AMG Spoiler #6: Dom; “Chris is an idiot. He’s a joke”. Chris: “Dom is a loser”. They finally both say something that I can agree with.

AMG Spoiler #7: Question, Has anyone ever yelled to Jeff during a challenge (and what I scream at him in my living room every week), “Jeff, can you just STFU?”? I mean, the challenge of moving along a narrow plank while balancing a heavy wooden idol at the end of a long pole held above your head is difficult enough without the chatterbox idiot host going on and on about the wind, who is looking shaky, who just had an amazing recovery, and who may have just lost out on a million dollars. It's a wonder someone didn't just launch his idol at Jeff.

Rumor Mills with the latest spoilers guaranteed to be pretty much true (ish).
(This will have to do until the Tribster returns).

Sorry, I have nothing to donate to your extremely worthy cause. Would a few tips help?

Tip #1: If Chris had someone like Stephen playing besides him just like JT then maybe he'd have looked smarter. I know some viewers called JT the greatest winner ever after Tocantins but the dumbest ever after his blunders in HvV and Game Changers.

Tip#3: It was 10 votes but who's counting?!

Tip#5: Quiet! don't tell Aruba who thinks no one ever gets up at night on Survivor to go pee. I wish I knew their secret because I have to get up 2 or 3 times a night myself. He also doesn't know that Survivors HAVE to go pee alone because they cannot walk in pairs out of camp without a camera following them. But Jason Bourne was a scripted novel so I like your comparison.

Tip#6: In season 2, Varner told us that "Mike was an idiot" but most only saw it when Varner returned during Philippines. It didn't take us long to see what Dom was saying so no need to call it a spoiler.

Tip#7: Shane was one of the few to have the balls to mock Probst. Ever wonder why he was never re-invited despite being such a great character? Jiffy also had problems with Judd who was never re-invited either. These days, players are going on Survivor to get a recurring role on prime time TV so they do what Jiffy asks.

All tips are to be written on the back of $100 bills, weighted with gold nuggets, and tossed into the tip jar. And no backsies. Include your return address and you will receive a fake coconut on a fake string as a thank you.

#3. Right, my bad. My score card had 2 votes for Libby, leaving 11 votes. But Chris's box should have been marked NV.

#6. Don't spoil my spoilers. Spoils my day.

#7. So, there are examples of castaways going rogue.

...on camera, yes. Not a single rogue player found an Idol though. Do you really think production is that lucky? We've had how many idols? It's getting close to 50 and ALL were caught on film.

9. "RE: 666 Mockingbird Lane"
If there are documented examples of survivors going rogue, and I'm sure there are others also, then it stands to reason that one or two or more would have escaped camp to search for an HI without a cameraman.

But I'll admit that no one ever presented an HI at TC that wasn't caught on film, and I'd be willing to cede the point that no one has ever mentioned having found one afterwards either. So your point is well taken that most likely no HI was ever found without being filmed.

It just seems highly unlikely that it's possible that one or two camera crews could ride herd so effectively on that many wild cards for so many seasons, even if there were restrictions. Cause I know that if placed in that environment, I would be tempted beyond my ability to resist to get away with whatever I could.

It's actually in the contract that you have to follow all instructions. That includes not going out of camp without a TV crew unless you are going to the bathroom alone.

And I wouldn't say that Shane or Judd went rogue; Shane was simply trying to be funny while Judd wanted to be a good sportsmanship and didn't like being ADD.

So, they have always followed all instructions. Just because there may be a clause in their contract.

Sorry. It beggars belief. Especially when one considers what the penalty might possibly be. Eviction from the game based on a survivor leaving camp without a cameraman just isn't believable. And so far, we have never heard of or seen an instance where that happened for any reason other than a medical emergency or violence or the threat of violence.

Still, hats off if they have managed to pull off what seems to be the wildly improbable. They must have a very diligent squad of enforcers ringing all the camps all day and all night. And throughout all of the seasons and all the post game interviews, no one has mentioned anything of the kind.

I know that, because it's coming from me, your first reflex is to disagree (I'm still waiting for you to apologize for the "feeble Mind" insult) but this isn't speculation. I read the full contract as it was available on line at one point.

There are also other very practical reasons not to go rogue, the first of which is fear of wildlife. They are in a jungle with wild animals around so you'd have to be pretty brave to go out at night without an escort (who are probably equiped to deal with those threats). Also, alone in the dark, you could easily get lost but with a crew, they'd keep you close by your camp. Those are most likely the excuses they use to make sure they obey their laws.


As for the penalty, we know that James and Alexis were disqualified for sneaking into a production tent and stealing food. I suppose it wouldn't be so drastic but I seriously think that an idol found without being filmed would be taken away. If they didn't film it, it didn't happen.

Wow, that was a surprising response to my very mild and conciliatory post. But OK, you set the tone. As for the contract, I sure it's evolved over time, and depending on how it's written, you may or may not have a point. But an unspecified and undocumented reference to something you think you read doesn’t carry the weight you seem to think it does. In any case, please provide a link, preferably to the current standard Survivor’s contract.

I can also point out that your posts, coming as quickly as they do after mine, and inevitably so, point to a certain reflexivity on your part. So, again buy a mirror. You might discover something about yourself.

I don't recall the feeble-minded reference, but it's possible and would be apt, your tendency toward inventing feeble-minded theories and explanations in order to back up your paranoia and biased opinions has been on display on more than one occasion.

Fear of the wildlife in the jungle? Ok, first you suggest that I should apologize for using the term feeble-minded, then you serve up a splendid example. As a veteran of many nights in nature, including island jungles, African jungles, North American woods and Central American jungles, I can tell you that that is a feeble minded and mostly imagined concoction.

Alexis was disqualified for raiding a production tent? Which Alexis was this? And James too? Which James? You’ll have to specify because there’s been multiple examples of both. And because I never heard of this or of anyone getting disqualified for that. I remember Woo and someone else raiding another tribe’s camp, but nothing like that.

Finally, yeah, they could and probably would take it away. But it would never escape being mentioned afterward.

What a joke. Maybe you are Tarzan (or think you are) but most people wouldn't want to run into a snake or a wild feline at night with no lights or weapons. Anyway, all I said is that production could use it as a reason to keep them in camp.

For your information, I was talking about James and Alexis in Micronesia.

Continue dishing out insults on the internet, you brave man.

PS. for the record, you posted at 10:00PM one night, the response was at 8:45 AM the next day. Then you answered at 11:39AM while my response was at 7:19 PM. My latest response came 6 1/2 hours after your post so my responses do not come quick after your posts. I have better things to do than waiting for your constipated nonsense.

23. "RE: Tarzan!"
I've been there. Don't have to swing on vines to experience the African Jungle. I've been there and while there made trips on foot and at night. (when you gotta go, you gotta go, and in these environments there isn't any electrical service to light the way) Also in other wild environments, including on islands and in jungles and forests. Apparently you haven't. Wildly overblown fears, and that's per personal experience. Again, evidence of feeble minded thinking and a wild exaggerated imagination.

BTW, wild felines? In Fiji? There's the joke. There are no indigenous felines on Fiji, although one can't rule out feral housecats. There are fox bat like animals (ohhhh! Scary!) and small rat like animals, and hey, the "wild house cats" probably help keep them at bay. And snakes? The one poisonous land snake is the 30 cm (approx. 12") Fiji burrowing snake, which does just that, burrows. The snake is elusive and rarely seen, and the reported bites are almost nonexistent. Dragging your feet as you walk lowers chances of that happening from roughly one in a million to zero. But if that still really scares you, you should also be afraid of Chinese space junk landing on you. And I think Aruba would be happy to come up with a Beatles Paranoia metaphor.

The really dangerous wildlife is in the sea surrounding the islands, but looking for HI's in the sea at night isn't what we're discussing.

So far, you haven't let me once post happen without your reflexive responding, and checking post times is just proof of your obsessive behavior. Nor have you been able to produce proof of some of your "facts". For example, I see that you stopped talking about contracts when asked to produce a link. Typical. I really would like to see a current Survivor contract though.

Alexis Jones was voted out on day 33 as collateral damage when Amanda Kimmel produced an HI. James Clement was a medical evacuation, with IV even. Neither were disqualified. Nor could I find any mention of a raid on the producer's larder. Any more false examples?

You really have a closed mind... Were we only talking about Fiji? I know they've been there for a long time now but Survivor went to jungles with dangerous wildlife.

I don't keep links in my pocket for your benefit. If you want to read the contracty so badly, go look for it. I don't own Google.

I thought you had more inside information than your average Basher. Back when Micronesia was airing, we heard from a production insider BEFORE it happened that James and Alexis would be disqualified at F7 but the show wouldn't present them as being DQed. It happened.

Hey Kingfish...an answer to your question for AMG Spoiler #7:

A noted confrontation between Probst and a castaway during a challenge was with Jonathan Penner in Cook Islands. The team challenge involved sitting in a boat and dropping an object to hit an underwater target. Yul was consistently hitting targets for his team. Penner kept missing.

Probst continued his narration by saying that team was “struggling.” Penner shot back with a snotty, “No joke. Jeff!” Probst rebutted, “Jonathan’s getting irritated.” Penner came back with something to the effect of, “WOW that’s quite an observation” while leering at him with an ugly nasty look.

OH, BTW, Penner DID get invited again for another season...

Probst still liked Penner despite their confrontations. In fact, they became friends. Probst openly said that he never wanted to deal with Judd again.

The Commission was answering Kingfish’s question with an accurate answer and a fact-based conclusion.

Any sore-loser who walks out of TC and obnoxiously calls the remaining cast “Scumbags” will have a very remote shot of being dealt with again on Survivor regardless who the host is.

And yes, Probst liked Penner DESPITE their confrontations. So glad we agree there’s no correlation between being nasty and sarcastic toward Jeff and getting invited again. Of course, this agreement will most likely be short lived. After tonight’s episode, Michel Wednesday will certainly conjure up more conspiracy theories to entertain us.
DUM-DA-DUM-DUM!!!

Over and out with this week’s threads!

I did ask a question, and you were kind enough to answer. So thanks.

But actually there are many examples of remarks made to Jeff during challenges, and Penner's was at least somewhat confrontational. But, so far as I know, we're still waiting for what would be the most satisfying remark, i.e. "STFU, Jeff".

In any case, #7 was really just a vehicle for expressing my opinion that Jeff ought to "Shut The F Up". It's annoying.

I’m with you as far as Jeff being annoying as hell, but even at his most abrasive state, he doesn’t deserve the “F” bomb to be dropped on him. That’s just a deliberate act of disrespect. So, I do not recall anyone cussing at him nor to I anticipate anyone who would literally tell him to “STFU!”

Penner’s confrontation in Cook Islands is probably the closest you’ll get without the vulgarity.

Well, the "who deserves what" is subjective, and there are many I'm sure who feel as you do. I agree that it would be a deliberate act of disrespect. But there are times when I think he deserves it. Including times at TC when his interference seems to affect voting. In part because it adds fuel to Michel's paranoia and we have to sit thru his weird explanations of how every thing is scripted.

I will say that included in Probst's job requirement bullet list is to be the color guy at challenges and the probing agitator at TC. So there's that. He does do that. And I'll admit I'm a fan of his, except when I just want him to STFU. Another very minor complaint I have for him, I wish he’d vary some of his standard commentary.

Penner's response is the closest I can remember too. I don't have a Survivor History Factoid reference other than Google, and I usually don't bother to use Google, so I might be not remembering a few examples.

But I'm sure that Michel is busy pounding away on a response that in his mind refutes everything we say.

I agree that Jeff intentionally agitates the competitors with his narration during the challenges...especially the ones that require concentration. Hey, there’s a million dollars for one of them at the end of the journey. Although a few got that prize handed to them, it should be hard-fought and well-earned for only 39 days of effort. So, no doubt it is in Probst’s job description to make them earn it.

As for his inferences impacting the votes at TC...meh, I don’t know. I’ve always been steadfast in my belief that 99% of all the votes have been etched in every voter’s mind BEFORE they pick up their torches and begin the walk to TC, regardless what is transpired during Council.

As for Michel Wednesday, Rumpelstiltskin, and “script” reader combined, I would be remiss not to pay him some kudos for the time and effort it must take to conjure up all those conspiracies and rigged theories when the chain of events that play out during any given season do not go as HE would want to “script” them. As reaching and spinning as many are, I do have a confession...I not only secretly look forward to them, as a guilty pleasure I actually have come to enjoy them.
