Jimmy Johnson got too much air time, what's the big deal about him?

Jeff asks Chase to sing, then two seconds later starts talking over him telling us whats coming up next...

Shannon just starts blurting out trash talk, he doesn't even listen to the question. I guess he has Tauretts or something?

Actually, 5 people didn't get any airtime on the reunion; Yve, Tyrone, Jill, Benry, and Purple Kelly. I'd rather have heard what they would've had to say then Rob Mariano blather about his new kid, or Terry Bradshaw blather on about Jimmy Johnson. Also, no more celebrities on the show unless they do an all-celebrity season.

Glad to see Fabio take the title rather than Sash or Chase. His mindless rambling at the Finale about folding tables, color wheels and government consipiracies was a bit odd, mind you~!

WAY too much time spent on Jimmy Johnson and his pal Terry. Boring.

I would say that Holly didn't win Fan Favorite since at the time that contest opened to votes, she was a really strong contender for winning the million.

Strange that Jeff spent so little time talking to Sash.

Dan still seemed a bit angry at the Reunion show. Wouldn't have thought he would've care that much.

Yikes to the interaction between Marty and Jane. He seems just as good at her at holding a grudge.

I can't like anyone who has a hissy fit and destroys hundreds of dollars of personal property just because she doesn't like someone.

New rule? What did I miss? I turned it off as soon as Fabio won.

I totally agree with your post, but I wanted to address your first point specifically.

I haven't watched every season of Survivor. I watched the first season and then stopped watching until China. From then on, I've seen every season.

It seems that the social game is much more important now than it used to be. When Todd won China, I wasn't thrilled, but I thought it was deserved. He did a lot of planning, but must have kept his social game up to snuff.

Russell didn't do that on either of his seasons and was brash and arrogant. During his second season, I felt he got played by Parvati and Sandra and I think the lesson to be learned from these past seasons is not to underestimate people.

Sash didn't seem to be able to defend his actions and his continued lying to Jud during the second to last tribal council just made him look spineless and idiotic. He should have just come clean and said "Yes, I would have voted you (Jud) out" because his sneakiness was seen by more people than he thought, especially once they were on the jury and that's when it counts if you want to win the game.

CBS has the discretion to not allow quitters to be a part of the game, which I think is great because it really twisted the course of the game.

I read somewhere that she used sleeping pills (Ambien or something) pretty regularly right up till she was out there. I think coming off the pills and sleep deprivation might be what made her seem so crazy at first.
When she got through all that tho she sure was good to go. Like she cme out of a crazy fog.

I consider that a cop-out. People are still responsible for their actions, and she did a really Moderator cut: language thing, and never seemed like she was sorry for it. I'm glad she didn't make it to the finals.

If you turned off your TV you missed her apologizing to Dan and presenting him with a pair of ostrich quill cowboy boots because she was very regretful for taking his shoes and he had mentioned wanting a pair of cowboy boots.

That is correct, and they both hugged and kissed each other and smiled about the whole incident...and both will live happily ever after cuz Dan said he didn't hold anything against her. A storybook ending.

I hope the next Survivor has more REAL regular everyday people and not models, or so-called famous people, and no rich people like Dan.
I don't know why they never take my idea and make it so they cannot form alliances. It would be so much better if they could think for themselves for once in their lives and not be swayed by others.

Also, I really hate it when someone accuses them of "playing the game." Like it's a bad thing. Well, duh! It's a freaking game! What else are they going to do? That just bugs me.
