Oh absolutely there are bad recruits. And there are awesome applicants. I just NEED people to know that the reverse is just as often true.

Rob C applied for Big Brother. Parvati for Amazing Race.

And Michelle. Poor, forgotten Michelle.

I think the number of people who rode coat tails and lost far outnumbers those that did and won. Particularly lately.

The Lisi Parade of Losers montage might rank in my top 10 most favourite Survivor moments ever.

For real: we'll put it out to the whole community about what they'd like to ask him. He's already told us that he's willing (and excited) to talk about every last decision he made in the game.

The big question is: does Tyler Perry miss it?

I'm not ruling it out.

I like what Probst recently said about Borneo. It was like cinema verite, rather than the finely polished machine the show is now.

If you had a dozen or so seasons left to watch, then I wouldn't recommend Exile Island. But if she(?) only has those two, then yeah. It's worth it.

It's a risk. But, I believe Tony established pretty well that he is not adverse to taking risks.

By the end, I found Spencer's pissy backward head thrust to be kind of endearing.

That this was a cast of 18 had a lot to do with it. In a season of 20, there's more wiggle room for quitters/evacs, as there's more players than there are episodes to vote them out.

Woo did have that interview about how being in the end with Tony would be a "beautiful thing" because they'd been together from the beginning last episode. Not quite the same thing, but of a similar vein.

Earl. As soon as Dreamz flipped on the deal he made with Yau Man over the truck, Earl thought to himself "wow, I just won Survivor".

I don't remember the points system, but I bet if you add a couple final jury points to your score and remove them from mine, you win even if Woo doesn't.

He definitely did something. Could just be that the gaps fill better with proper management, styling, and products.

Agreed it wasn't a stupid hat. But that hat did a LOT of heavy lifting.

At that moment, they probably do believe they were on a winning path until Kass flipped the script. We are all the stars of our own narratives.

That was legit impressive.
