Yeah, not someone I'd ever want to hang out with in real life but he's a great TV character. I'm actually really excited to see him play again, even though I am certainly not a fan.

Agreed. On the women's side, maybe one of Monica/Natalie/Stephanie/Mikayla makes it in, but if all 4 of them were 'voted' in by the public there's no way the producers wouldn't veto it. The whole voting thing is just a publicity stunt.

That's why I think he'd be fun to watch. I like players who are willing to backstab and blindside for no reason, even if it hurts their game. It sure as hell beats good players realising that it's in their best interests to sit around and keep the status quo.

Other than how outrageously low China is on your list, I don't have any real problems with it. I'm glad to see someone who appreciates Palau so much (probably my favourite season) and I was pleased to see Fiji rank fairly highly, I was always considered that a very underrated season. Actually I'd dispute Cook Islands'…

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that while production might take the viewer votes into account, at the end of the day if there's someone they particularly want they'll put them in anyway.

So… Grand Theft Auto V, the movie?

To be fair, people 'behind the scenes' also said that Redemeption Island was going to be incredible, and we know how that turned out. I take every piece of pre season hype with a huge grain of salt.

And maybe in Season 30 everyone is super selfish regarding rewards, rubbing it in everyone else's faces that they won, and everything just balances out.

An all-winners season would probably be pretty boring. Winners are typically pretty middle of the road personalities, and I get the feeling that those sort of personalities and strategies would likely ensure a pagonging post merge.

Well, he can't attach "You're a goat, Missy" to his audition reel.

I think that's Fiji's biggest obstacle. I think it's far more entertaining than it gets credit for, but with it's reputation I don't think many people can be bothered to rewatch it.

Actually, I was convinced at that point that Woo was going to win (I know…) so I was absolutely shocked that Kass got voted out there. Tony screamed classic big character 3rd place boot to me. And I still didn't think Tony was going to win. Maybe I'm just stupid, but that finale was very, very exciting to me.

Same thing happened to Sophie. Someone who played a very solid game who got undersold in the edit with one Brandon Hantz related confessional each episode. I just don't think the editors really know what to do with female winners. Even Kim wasn't really a major character until episode 8 of One World or so.

Jeremy and Natalie are definitely in the pool for bringing people back, especially since production seems to struggle finding decent POC returnees (I really don't need to see Phillip, James or Cirie again).

I guess the planet where he thinks that it's okay to drug and rape women. Once you cross that line I suppose your mind can twist itself into any position.

Technically Survivor isn't classified as a game show, so they don't have to abide by any of the fairness rules regarding game shows. This comes up all the time on Big Brother, when challenges are clearly designed to benefit specific people (i.e. a head shaving element when one contestant is already practically bald).

No, Masterchef original rates better than Junior, but Masterchef is a summer show that is still on that production schedule for the moment. I'm sure Fox will try and drag it into the regular season soon.

That was a typo, last episode got a 1.5. Still not great for CBS, but not NBC level bad.

Size limits didn't matter, apparently there weren't any fish in the river anyway.

Go to Truedorktimes, his S30 Survivometer has the handful of pretty much confirmed names on it.
