PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Stupid Idea - Having America Vote!" |
You know, that is just how stupid Russell is about what the game of Survivor is all about. If we were to vote each week, or even at the end, the producers and editors could play those people like pawns and no one would even want to be on the game. It would move towards the whole crap-pot that American Idol has be come. This way, they can edit it however they want to make stars out of talented cast members and fools out of fools! They worst thing is when someone is edited to look unlike their personality. I think that as we have seen just about every kind of character be cast on this show now, that people should start taking stock in their own character before ever auditioning for this show. They can make the slightist charater flaws look huge. I like that the producers can record for 500 hours of film and only provide us with 15 hours or whatever... Another tidbit on Russell...did any of you catch the 3 of them on Jimmy Fallon? Pavarti and Sandra, both said that every time he (Russel) did something he told the cameraperson to follow him...come talk to me...come see what I'm doing...etc. YUCK!

Russell's antics at the reunion are more proof that he has run his course. He's arrogant, he's obnoxious, and he has no social skills beyond manipulating people, or at least that's the side of him we've seen. If he is truly a different person from what his Survivor persona is, I've yet to see it.I doubt we'll see Russell for a long time, simply because his gamesmanship is a one-trick pony that, thanks to some clever arrangement, stretched out into two seasons. No one who has seen him burn socks, free chickens, hide machetes, manipulate cross-tribal dynamics, and make people as miserable as possible will want to keep him around. Also, there's no way in hell America should have a vote as to who wins. This is all pre-recorded broadcast with no equivalent of Live Feeds, and players have no idea what's going on out there. Sure, it sucks to have the editing manipulated and have a player who was a surefire winner go down in flames (Matt from Amazon if the obvious example) but it's far better than letting America pick the winner based on 15 hours of results, especially when the vote is almost certainly going to exclude the finale. The vote for the most popular castaway who gets a prize, such as a car or 100 large? That's perfectly fine.

That's already been tried. It was called, "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!"

The idea is completely incongruous to the show. For shows where the winner is voted on by the viewers, we get to see all the performances that matter, in their entirety. In Survivor, for the Finalists, we get to see less than 1% of their total performance. It would not work. In essence, production would then be choosing a winner with the edit. It is an irrational and desperate idea from a twice loser.
