We can welcome Brandon Hantz to the dumb Survivor Club if he loses to Ozzy at RI this Sunday.

I know most people hate the God talk on Survivor but it still cracks me up every season knowing there are people out there that think God gives a **** about who wins Survivor. I like the bell sound effect they added for Brandon.

Rick must have a sore throat after all that talking he did last night. That's the most he has spoken all season. His name is Rick, right?

I don't see why Coach (or anyone) thinks Brandon would win jury votes. He has been portrayed as a mental case who has pissed off many with his uncensored mouth.

The two I'd want to go against at the end are Brandon and/or Rick.

Brandon would win votes simply on his straight forward, no BS, open book, clear as day style of play. After the one backstab attempt at the beginning Jesus spoke to him and he saw the light and was honest and blunt from there on out.

Really enjoyed This season. The dragon Slayer had no end game like Russle.

Looking forward to next season (in Feb) where both tribes live together right off the bat. That will ensure there won't be a slow start.

Re: *** Survivor Season 23: South Pacific ***

I thought it was a very interesting Final 3:

- Albert made sure to butter up the jury members before the last TC yet the strategy didn't work

- Coach pulled a Amanda Kimmel and bombed at the final TC. He didn't own up to his great gameplay which cost him the game.

- Sophie wasn't a good social player but she won the most important IC and didn't BS people about the God/Christian/Integrity crap.

I'm really glad Ozzy lost that final challenge because his victory would have been tainted. I feel like anybody that has been voted out doesn't deserve to win.

- We didn't see much of Sophie until the Final 6. This is another reason why I'm glad there aren't any returning players next season. When we get returning players, they hog the screentime and the season usually revolves around them.

- Russell had more airtime than half of the cast at the reunion. Russell is one of my favorite players but I've had enough of him. I don't want to see Russell vs. Brandon on Season 25. This might be a case where Probst has such a hard on for him, he's going to make sure he plays until he wins (like Rob). Probst never even addressed the Brandon/Mikayla storyline. They also wasted too much time on Ozzy's "speech" and the girl in the audience basically asking Ozzy why he is so awesome.

- There ae so few worthy female players, I'm sure Sophie will be asked back for a future season (if she was a male it wouldn't happen). Cochran is a lock to be back. I think Jim would do really well in another season and despite being the first jury member, I think he has a chance to be asked back.

- I'm looking forward to the one island dynamic. I think it really shakes up the game. We might see pre-merge alliances between different tribe members. I think this twist makes it more unlikely we get another pagonging (it's happened 2 seasons in a row and it makes for boring TV to most viewers).

Re: *** Survivor Season 23: South Pacific ***

To lazy to quote, but to go off your point about the reunion show, they never show enough of actual "reunion stuff". I know they are limited on time, but they could stretch that thing to two hours and maybe make the last hour available on the web only.

CBS has Big Brother After Dark, I'm surprised Survivor has never had anything where they just show an extra hour of footage. I think they could show an extra hour of tribal council(I hear they sit there for an hour or two and talk).

After seeing Brandon get voted out and him at the reunion show, I really felt bad for him. The crazy behavior kind of makes sense now, he comes from a completely ****ed up childhood and family. He actually does mean well, he just doesn't know how to go about it.

I would watch an extended reunion show on CBS.com. For some reason CBS blocks their videos unless you have a USA IP (which is extremely frustrating). I want to watch the Brandon/Rick/Ozzy Ponderosa videos but they are blocked (even on the current youtube account in this thread). Like I pointed out, they waste a lot of time during the reunion show on stupid stuff. If you remove Russell, Ozzy's speech, and the dumb question from the little girl, we would have had time for Brandon/Mikayla.

I also want to see unedited tribal councils. Sophie mentioned on Rob Cesternino's podcast (robhasawebsite.com/very entertaining podcasts)that she threw Albert under the bus on sucking up for jury votes during a lot of tribal councils but they never showed it on TV.

They also edit out a lot of stuff from the final tribal council and I want to hear all of their questions and comments.

We are heading into Season 24 and we still don't have an answer to the question: What happens if their is a tie in the final TC (i.e 3-3-3 or 4-4-1). I can't believe a reporter has never asked this question before. This actually bugs me, lol.

Hey Van, someone said you can view the videos from outside the country by going here....

I think you might have to join the group first and I honestly dont know how to go about viewing them but Ive seen multiple people mention it so figured it was worth passing along to you.

It's a closed group.

There's a person that uploads the videos on youtube without the Country restrictions but the last one features Edna. I'm hoping this person uploads the rest of them.

I'm not even sure why CBS.com blocks the videos (they didn't use to do this).
