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."

"Survivor E! True Hollywood Story" |
Did anyone catch this on Sunday Night? I found alot of things interesting, and tried the whole time to gather "behind-the-scenes" information that could help us spoil upcoming seasons. Some things I found interesting... > When a person is voted off (and they make the jury), they have the option of eating their first meal with the jury, or taking a shower and eating alone in their hotel room. > There is approximately 30 minutes between the time the votes are cast and when they are read. > Apparently CBS got flooded with calls and letters when Rupert was voted off Survivor 7, asking "how could this be?" So EPMB cast him in Allstars AND arranged "America's Tribal Council" to ensure that Rupert would win at least one million dollars, making the fans happy. >According to THS, Survivor is not planning on ending any time soon. The points, although interesting, may not be particularly spoilish, but I would love to hear if anybody caugh tanything that was.

<AND arranged "America's Tribal Council" to ensure that Rupert would win at least one million dollars, making the fans happy.This is just wrong and sickening.> I semi-agree. I am not a Rupert fan, and with many on this sight, was disappointed when they GAVE him a million dollars. But at least this answered the question "why" they did it. Despite my personal feelings, there are obviously MANY viewers who like him, and I guess their protest is what CBS kept in mind. At least they made an attempt to keep viewers happy. We just have to realize that we are in the minority, and our thoughts on the subject will always be out-weighed by tie-die fans.

I was in a hurry when I posted, I knew someone would take me to task on that. But, what I was trying to point out is there is much in this "game" that is not fair. I argued on these boards that it was unfair to change the rules of the game in the middle of the game. Ie allowing people booted off to come back. I felt it an unfair rule.I believe Shakes told me that it added a dynamic to the game. So what I'm getting at is that CBS already manipulates this game. Sometimes overtly, like they did with the Rupert vote, and sometimes more subtly. Does MB have a script ahead of time, or does he tweak it as the game goes on? If he tweaks it, then you must admit that he is manipulating this game, and I argue, that this could have the same result as the Favourite survivor for Rupert. In the end for Rupert the audience decided. Perhaps a better twist, would have been to have the survivors themselves from all 8 seasons vote for the Ultimate Survivor. That may have been an interesting vote.

I understand what you are saying but I don't think CBS has manipulated the game per say. I think MB is behind the tweaking of the game. MB had nothing to do with the Rupert voting thing...that was CBS! Now, I don't know if MB has to get approval from CBS or go to the big whigs to see if his changes can occur.

If he tweaks it, then you must admit that he is manipulating this game ...EPMB tweaks and manipulates this game with every edit! They film everything on the island and only show us what they want US to see. They make some Survivors like Rupert, into GOOD GUYS ... and others like Jerri into absolute BIOTCHES ... They are omnipotent and pretty much control everything IMHO. ... a better twist, would have been to have the survivors themselves from all 8 seasons vote for the Ultimate Survivor. That may have been an interesting vote. You are ABSOLUTELY correct! I would LOVE to see this happen.  Scarlett

But the Rupert vote had nothing to do with the GAME or Strategy. And yes, i agree, that the Survivor's voting would have been much more interesting than America. Save it for American idol, not Survivor.

Yes RR, I saw the special and was mesmerized! It was a great behind-the-scenes documentary on the filming of each show. Kathy provided some insight about the "peeing on the Sea Urchin wound" from Marquesas. She said that two male survivors volunteered to pee on the sting wound, but when they each actually tried to do it in front of the rolling cameras ... their tanks were empty! She said when she stepped up to do the job, the victim told her "Okay ... that's enough," but she replied ... "Sorry ... there's more in the tank and I can't stop it!"Apparently, a lot of it is ablibbed out there as well. For instance, when Jenna & Heidi stripped for the peanut butter -- it wasn't one of the "planned" food items. Jenna let it slip out that she would strip for peanut butter. When Jiffy realized he did not have any, he sent his grips searching high and low for it. We know their search was successful as we all got to see the outcome on national tv. All in all, I enjoyed it very much. Not a lot of Spoiler info was provided however. Scarlett

I'm not saying that they don't bare repeating, just that if regurgitating previously publicly reported info is the best that E! can do with this special, then I'm kinda disappointed. It sounds like a supposed acknowledgement that CBS planned the ATC thing for Rupert is the biggest bit of a scoop that they had (and btw, I don't think CBS did it 100% for Rupert -- I believed at the time, and still believe now, that they did it because they could make far more than $1,000,000 extra by selling advertising for an extra May sweeps Survivor episode while simultaneously creating a suddenly strong competitor to NBC's Frasier series finale broadcast. The "for Rupert" story sounds good, but they forgot to mention the "and more importantly for us" part.)
