I also think I remember Probst saying they did not make the cast with the idea of doing White collar v. blue collar v. no caller. Rather, they made the entire cast on their own merits and then it worked out that they could fit them into that theme.

When Shirin and Max were talking about how they know Survivor so well and how they were in control, right then I knew that one of them was going home.
This is an entertaining show.
1. Jeff warns people on about five different occasions to be careful dropping the lift, and Kelly takes a shot to the forehead.
2. Mailman says he knows how to talk to girls, then makes things incredibly worse with his "apology".
3. Max says he feels safe, gets voted out
quote:What's THAT supposed to mean?
My point is that the show can be predictable with its over the top foreshadowing. It's not like it gets in my way of enjoying the show though.
It was a fairly insignificant comment. Not sure why it drew this sort of attention at all.

The look Jeff gave Max was hilarious after Jeff asked about playing idols and Max said Hold up bro.

EW: What is your take from a production standpoint when members of a tribe decide to throw a challenge? On one hand, that can give you great story to play with, as it did this week. On the other hand, it can also potentially sap the drama out of an immunity challenge, as we have seen occasionally in the past.
JEFF PROBST: There is a theme to the answers I've been giving you to questions like this one and the uneven tribe swap and that theme is "whatever will be will be." There have been thrown immunity challenges that produce great drama and those that fall flat. There is simply no sense in worrying about it because we can't control it. The players decide what they want to do and often their decision is impacted by a bigger "group think" that happens within an alliance. I have learned to really enjoy letting them play the game on their terms. We set the scenariothe players decide the actionwe tell the story.
Here's a random question, but one I've wondered about and did again after seeing this latest reward feast: How come contestants no longer get drunk? I remember Jan in Thailand, Fairplay in Pearl Islands, and even Tom Westman in Palau getting good and hammered. Do you all generally give the contestants less booze than you used to on rewards, are they more responsible (which I find hard to believe), or is this stuff just not making final cut?
Great question and I think the answer is we just haven't had the right combination of player/s and alcohol. We definitely would show it if it happened. There is so much strategy now that people are more aware and as a result less likely to "lose control."
Okay, we saw the tease for the merge coming next, which means a whole new game and absolutely anything can happen. With that in mind, give me your awardwhich from here on out we will call The Probstyfor which contestant played the best PRE-MERGE game.
Love this idea! Okay for the first annual ProbstyI nominate Mike, Carolyn, Joe and Tyler. For various reasons I think those four have done a good job at positioning themselves. They each have a strength and they're utilizing it to their advantage. And the Probsty goes to. Joe! I think he has handled himself really well, tried to stay flexible with the tribe dynamics, he comes across as empathetic and physically is definitely a threat.
Okay, don't leave us hanging, mister. Tease us one good thing about next week's merge episode.
Oh it's ON. It's a GREAT episode. Everything and everyone is up for grabs and they have to start over literally!

quote:It was obvious to us, and to Kelly although she couldn't take advantage of it so Mike had to REALLY work to lose, but I don't think (we didn't see anything from the other tribe after to know for sure) that the "girl tribe" suspected anything. And Probst didn't bring it up at any point as I recall.
I have to disagree, Moore. I thought it was painfully obvious that they were throwing the challenge, especially because Kelly was a dumdum and couldn't remember it the first two times. She's a cop, right? And we trust her to identify criminals??
quote:Gagree
Mike is only slightly less annoying than Rodney. I don't care where he's from.
