That's how my reality TV life is. Janelle third place in Big Brother 6 & All-Stars, Rupert's losses in Pearl Islands and All-Stars, Jameka in Big Brother 7, the list goes on... lord.

James on Survivor and Howie on Big brother

Yeah, I'm already looking forward to the next season, but this one is going to be hard to top.

HD scares me. Seeing all those bug bites on thier legs is pretty nasty i can't imagine it in HD. I still want to be on the show but the bug bites are the one thing that makes me cringe. Seriously, I'll be happy starving for weeks, being forced to eat rats while there is a week long monsoon and I have to hide under a very leaky, uncomfortable palm frond shelter filled with stinky people who havent bathed in weeks yet we have to cuddle together due to the freezing cold weather and all that time we have to fight off lions, sharks, pirannah, rhinos, and other contestents (snakes)....All of that is cool but being covered in bug bites and constantly scratching is not cool, add to the fact that those bugs carry numerous diseases...not cool.

China, for example, didn't have enough "Survivor" to it. They were constantly getting rewards and going on trips, blah blah. It'll most likely be the same next season, since I'm sure they're gong to envelop the "survivor's" in the culture (since they showed the ritualistic dancing in the eden preview).

Borneo, the Outback, and All*Stars were my favorite seasons because of the survivor-feel.. as in living with nothing. I mean, rice rations were main source of food, and when it rained, mold ate it away. Fans vs Favs gave more of a survivor feel to it, but had all the drama to back it up and make it a top season.

Outback was just sick. That was the most rough I think anyone had had it. I mean Probst had to fly in to give them more rice because the little food they had got wet and spoiled. Then when they were off at a challenge, a fucking torrential rain fell and flash flooded the area. The shelter they had lived in for weeks basically washed away when they found they built it in a dry river bed. After the rains, it was a fast flowing river washing everything away... including the new tin of rice Probst had just given them! The survivors hiked downstream and eventually recovered the tin of rice, but damn.. that was rough!

Elizabeth had her hair falling out in clumps from malnutrition. Thats hardcore!

Back to OT: Fuck Parvati. That bitch didnt deserve a million over Amanda and Cirie. One can argue Cirie played the best game, hands down. She was the extremely social-mental player playing off of everyone. She said herself, she was the devil on everyone's shoulders orchestrating some of the big power plays. She came up with the ideas and often pitched them in a way that would make others (Parv, etc) feel as if it was their own idea and execute. This left Cirie looking like a saint while the others were doing the backstabbing. I dont blame Amanda for not taking Cirie. Cirie would have surely let everyone know her strat and how she mentally dominated the game.

I thought Amanda had it locked down. Some of the guys (and girls) should have seen through Parv's "I'm a whore to get my way in life" strat. I dont buy into the Parv had a great game viewpoint; I think she fucking lucked her way into her final position. Amanda was truely 10x as deserving over Parv for the million, but I do have to say Amanda's final tribal was weak. She should have spoken up, but she tried playing the apologetic approach when she should have been more assertive and taken credit for what she had done. More unbelievable is the fact that this was her exact same downfall in the final tribal in China.

Truely an amazing season. I cant see how any other Survivor can top this one.

I love Amanda but I don't see how you can say she was 10x as deserving. IMO Parv carried her the whole way. The only move she made herself was volunteering for exile and finding the idol although it was a good one I'll grant you.

Cerie and Parv both played hard and made some good moves. In the end Parv won it by having a better relationship with Amanda. There was certainly some luck involved but there always is.

Also, James said China was 10x harder than Micronesia as far as finding food and such. He said he came into China with 4% body fat and lost almost 50 lbs. In Micronesia he only lost 7.
