We have talked a lot about editing. So my question is Was her appearance truly spontaneous or planned all along.

It had to have been known.

I first saw Sia on Jimmy Fallon in January. I LOVE the song "Iko Iko" so I wanted to watch. I wondered why Sia had a big bow on and that stupid wig. But.... I haven't heard any of her other songs. I listen to Sirius in the car and Pandora at home, and my channels don't play Sia.

I wondered the same thing. They could have edited out her sudden appearance. Am I the only one who considers her personal check to Tai totally inappropriate?

I think they knew she was going to rush the stage and make that presentation. All of their "it's sooo spontaneous" stuff is a load of crap. They knew.

I too consider a personal check to Tai inappropriate. To a charity of his choice for animal rights, fine & dandy. To him personally, no.

I bet this won't be the first, I have a feeling we are going to see several more celebrity fans making their "guest" appearance on future finale nights and awarding their favorite a monetary prize.

Yeah giving him a check is ridiculous. That it was spontaneous is also ridiculous. In fact, the entire 'reunion' show was ridiculous. haha Word of the day.

And this Sia is awful. Cannot see the appeal of her or her voice, autotune ftw.

Maybe this is a way to bring back the fan favorite money when the economy tanked corporations stopped sponsoring it.

I do feel it was inappropriate in the way they did this season's 'reward'.

If production didn't want this Sia person on stage, she doesn't get on stage. They're prepared for stuff like that. It insults our intelligence when they try to pretend it's spontaneous. I agree that it was a lousy reunion show. They don't have to catch up with everyone who was in the game, but Probst needs to ask the players questions about the game and its aftermath for them. One wants to know how the medevacked people made out, what people were thinking at key moments, what was the truth behind this or that. Don't care about Cochbite, or whoever else is in the crowd.

About the editing, they did the same thing on the Amazing Race this past season. They barely covered the winners, didn't give us their back story, and only showed them arguing with each other in 1 episode. And then boom, they won the last leg.

I hope this kind of "gotcha" editing is not going to be a trend. While it was pretty easy to tell who was going to win in recent seasons, I felt it gave a good story that viewers can follow.
