Survivor 21 & Amazing Race 17

Yeah, that was huge bullshit what happened. At the very least, have the 3 current jury members participate in a competition to get back in the game.

Couldn't say it better.

[Blarg]

I was thinking one of the jury would be let back on. I'm guessing they will have to keep the same number of episodes so I don't know what they will do to fill one of those episodes since there is one less eviction.

The final episode usually starts with 5 people and has 3 tribal councils. Maybe this time it will start with 4 and have 2. Or 4 and have 3 tribal councils, going down to a final of 2 people, with some way figured out to break the tie. A final of two is what I always want to see; I don't like a final 3 nearly as much as a final 2. I like having to force of the final two contestants to eliminate someone when they have the sole decision to do so.

I liked it when that 1st jury member started bawwwwlin when they quit

[aduidarnenye]

Couldn't believe what Naonaka (whatever) did with the reward challenge. What a bitch. And the way she kept saying she wasn't a quitter and how strong she was left me shaking my head, especially considering the condition of the people who stuck around. The other girl was just a wimp.

I don't think the other girl (Kelly Purple) would have quit if Naonka hadn't. I think she only had the courage to do so because she wasn't alone in doing so.

So yeah, the Amazing Race ended last Sunday. I was rooting for Brooke and Claire but I'm glad Nat and Kat won too!

At the end I thought this was an entertaining season. Next season is an all-star season!

[aduidarnenye]

I thought that Nat and Kat were a really good team. They worked well together and I don't believe that they ever argued. Very strong team. And they seemed like really nice people too.

Survivor is turning into a proper sausage fest. No wonder this season isn't very popular. There are no young sexy women in bikinis left.

And the stupidity of these players is amazing. Once Jane found out she was getting voted out, why didn't she go to Dan and Fabio and form an alliance of 3? Why didn't they jump on that opportunity when it presented itself at tribal council? Or did Jane do that, but they didn't believe her, and decided to adopt the "Anybody but me" philosophy. The season is only going to be remembered by me for the double quit episode which pissed me off so much.

[Corrderio]

I got to admit, I feel bad for Jane, though yeah she should have tried to fight back.

[Xno Kappa]

Whole season is full of stupid. Fabio, Dan and Jane could've easily split the vote and they had plenty of warning before hand.

[deshende]

I'm very happy at the outcome of tonight's survivor.

[Corrderio]

Fabio has to be the luckiest person in the history of the show. If he didn't win all 3 of those challenges he'd have been gone.

Redemption Island sounds interesting, might have to look forward to February.

[Blarg]

I wouldn't say he is all that lucky. Over the season he has shown himself to be good at challenges so it shouldn't have been a huge surprise.

Agreed. I am surprised at Sash getting zero votes, and everybody basically completely dismissing him at tribal council. Wondering if he was more detestable off screen than he was on screen.

I missed a majority of the middle seasons of survivor so I don't know if it's a trend or not but it seems on reality competition shows in general it's getting harder and harder for the 'game player' to get any votes at all. Being a nice guy who does enough to not be seen as a floater seems to be good for getting votes even if they played a less technical game.

[Xno Kappa]

There was a season with that Russell guy where a girl literally did nothing the whole time and won it all lol.

[Blarg]

Ya, that was pretty bad. I usually tend to favour the person who plays the game the best without putting much into their table manners (except for those who are unnecessarily mean). I wonder how the votes would change if the jury had more time to consider their decision. I think it would favour the game players as the jury is still very bitter so soon after getting voted out.

Was anyone else surprised that Jane won the favourite player award. I didn't really like her at all.

Looks like there might have been an off camera reason for that. That would explain the no votes, as well as some of the seemingly out-of-nowhere anger and venom thrown at Sash we saw at the last tribal council.

I wasn't surprised, but I was suprised by the fact that she won in such a dominant fashion. Admittedly, there weren't a ton of likable characters on this season, and although I initially really liked Jane, as the show went on, she become more angry, vindictive and bitter at anyone who crossed her in any possible fashion, and I was glad to see her go. This is Survivor, Jane, people are going to try to vote you off, particularly if you're a jury threat, which you clearly were.

I'm not sure who I would have voted for if I had voted. Maybe Kelly B? She seemed like the most level-headed, down-to-earth person out there; she was just voted off so early she never had a chance. Marty, Brenda and Alina were also out there to play the game, and they played it hard, which I appreciate.
