@avclub-2bf7bb353a1107a5d5c41d1ff4c624cb:disqus , I recently re-watched it with my daughters, and it's still close to that pantheon. The second time around, you can pay more attention to Sandra's game; Fairplay's a hoot; and Savage remains a repository of Dad Strength.

@avclub-858b67085072a6f2403cf500871f4068:disqus , but Sandra knew strategy, and knew it well.  I also wonder if there are different jury expectations for male finalists in terms of challenge success compared to women, that for a man proving one's worthiness of necessity requires some challenge wins.

Both.  It's an extra level of strategery which the game doesn't need.

That, and his inability to swim.

It's a very good episode, but I'll take the Colby Donaldson/'survivor" one, or the one with the Judy Doll.

The Hub still airs reruns, intermittently.

As long as Fox doesn't give a fuck when it ain't his turn to give a fuck.

Yes, she wins the Andrea Zuckerman Award for that movie.  33 when it filmed. But what's really amazing is that she's acting in a totally different movie, a much darker and realistic one. No one told her to treat it like a silly teen musical.

I'm sure I could find a way to put ricin in a Stevia packet.

Yes, but Lorne should be inviting Bill Clinton every year until he finally says yes. That's a show I'd like to see.

This was from the show's 25th Anniversary celebration, in primetime.

Things I still want to know:

People interested in the guests.

@avclub-7aee1b75b527e215f31e20a5c4e7a768:disqus , can you explain Exidor to me, then?  Because as a 8-9 year old kid, I just did not get it.

And Ami Cusack.  It's a fun season which turns on a dime in a remarkable single episode.

That would be Immunity Beast and Strategic Idiot Terry Dietz.  Just needed to throw one challenge (or share it) to make his HII useful; instead, he won five straight.

You mean, like Gary "Hawkins"?  Jimmy Johnson was never "Johnson," FWIW.

Danni Boatwright
Darrah the Mortician…

How did Culpepper already earn the Last Name Moniker before a single challenge?

And SWIM, Gervase.
