esquire 1095 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Politically Incorrect Guest" 04-19-10, 11:28 AM (EST) "Previous winners" LAST EDITED ON 04-19-10 AT 03:41 PM (EST) Its interesting to note that in the first Survivor All-Stars, so much discussion was on how everyone needed to vote out the previous winners. In that version of the game, Richard, Ethan, Tina and Jenna were all gone by the merge. In this version of the game, Tom was the only prior winner to get voted out pre-merge. Parv, JT, Sandra and Danielle all seem to be doing OK. I wonder why there is such a difference in the attitude of the players regarding the previous winners?   Top

PepeLePew13 26134 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 04-19-10, 11:40 AM (EST) 1. "RE: Previous winners" Good question. I think the players are a lot more jaded this time around and it's more about alliance-building instead of focusing on previous status. It could also be simply that today's Survivors aren't as well known in the mainstream media, while back then, the idea of being a Survivor winner meant being a mini-celebrity (see: Hatch, Dicque). So, there's less of the jealousy that was prevalent back then - I remember there was a lot of talk the first couple of episodes in All Stars that so-and-so was a former winner so he/she had to go asap! We didn't see that at all this time around. There's a theory put out there that Parvati wants a 'winners alliance' because if she is able to get to the end, she can point to the other winner(s) and say "you can't base this vote on who needs the money more." So that might be why J.T. and, to a greater extent, Sandra are still there in the game. For what it's worth, Danielle didn't win her season - she was the runner up to Aras.   Top

"RE: Previous winners" Some of the non-winners may even feel it's desirable to go to the end with a prior winner just because the jury is less likely to hand them a repeat million.

"RE: Previous winners" Well, too, there were more previous winners this time, and more previous finalists, and everyone had at least made the jury previously. Two large tribes instead of three small ones to start with, and F3 instead of F2 to look forward to.   Top

"RE: Previous winners" I agree with Pepe when he writes: "today's Survivors aren't as well known in the mainstream media, while back then, the idea of being a Survivor winner meant being a mini-celebrity." I'll add that it wasn't only being a winner, it was being a star, being viewed as a great player. Colby and Rob Cesternino had less chance of making it to the end than Ethan and Jenna.   Top
