Just focusing on the Sue incident she really didn't get much sympathy at all but I think it was just result of the time period. The season aired in 2003 and obviously a lot of things that were okay in 2013 would not be okay in 2015. Nobody really saw it as a sexual assault and a lot of people just thought she was crazy and overreacted and whatnot. I don't even think Kathy's comments even registered that much with the general viewing audience because they were just throwaway comments in confessionals that I doubt most viewers even remembered.

And yes, Rupert was still absolutely loved and Jerri was still absolutely hated. The reunion is an over the top indication of the latter, and the special after the reunion is an over the top indication of the former.

Well that's a real shame for Sue.

I've seen pictures of her at the ten-year anniversary so at least she doesn't resent the show too much.

[Firewire]

Where are you guys watching Survivor? I've been finding links online but they buffer so badly, I'm struggling to cope.

[Braden]

I'm currently using torrents, and they download pretty fast.

I've just finished the merge episode of All-Stars, and:

Spoiler:

holy ****, how dumb were Lex & Kathy to keep Amber over Jerri. I don't know what's more annoying, the elite Chapera alliance or Lex & Kathy's moping over their stupid decision to enable said alliance. At least Shii Ann was clever enough just to vote Lex off anyway

Like, in a way I do feel sorry for them both (moreso Kathy), but they were complete morons to not see that coming. Jerri is a prophet, and if she tells you that someone is gonna back stab you, they're probably gonna backstab you...and lol, Boston Rob ended up doing so exactly like Jerri told Lex he would.

tbh, as a whole the season is okay. idk if it's because I went into watching it with the mindset that most people think it's terrible (and I do get that), but I am finding it pretty satisfying. With the way things are turning out, that could change. The boot order is bad. But I enjoyed the merge episode, so who knows?

+ Jenna Lewis is such an underrated goddess

[Macie Lightfoot]

Spoiler:

I think Rob is a huge douche BUT considering that Rob did to Lex what Lex did to everyone, I don't feel sorry for Lex one bit. They're both awful

[Braden]

Spoiler:

Yeah, his approach to telling people they were next go was pretty irritating. And his whole "I'm playing this ~to win~" to then make such a stupid move is quite hilarious in reflection

Totally off-topic but I can't help but find Rob & Lex attractive. Like, there's something about All-Stars, because people like Rob, Lex, Ethan & Colby never came across that appealing to me on their original seasons but watching them now it's different. Particularly Ethan & Lex are a lot hotter than I initially thought...just had to get that off my chest

[Braden]

Okie dokie

Spoiler:

I've just finished watching Alicia's boot episode, and my God she's hideous in it. Especially when she was giving Shii Ann attitude for celebrating her victory. idc how much she was rubbing it in everyone's face, they made it blatant that she was leaving so she had every right to gloat.

She's just such an ugly person on the inside. I didn't like how she was so rude towards Jenna either, which then leads me to the ever so complex Alicia/Jenna/Shii Ann hate triangle I really don't know how to describe my feelings towards it, but it is something that interested me throughout the episode. Like, Alicia is definitely the worst out of the three, because she's such a miserable, unlikeable entity. But then after finishing the episode I felt really annoyed with Jenna & how she tried to make Shii Ann feel like ****, as if she deserved to go home, and how much of Chapera worshiper she is. So I kinda get Alicia finding her annoying...I suppose this all leads to one thing; Shii Ann being amazing my god, her winning that immunity challenge has to be one of my favourite moments of the season far.

Everything else about the episode was just meh to me. Apart from Tom resenting Rupert because he ended up eating potatoes in cold water, lmfao

The Amber & Rob thing is so dull.

[Black Dagger]

Right. So I've finally got back to work on my ~watch every series of Survivor~ that I've been doing now for at least 2 and a half years.

All stars is already breaking my heart with the first elimination </3

[Headie]

Yeah Alicia is a horrible and awful person but in terms of Reality TV she's one of my favourite villains, at least on Survivor anyway <333

Not me thinking you were talking about One World villain Alicia

[Firewire]

Just finished Africa. I think the best person won in the end, but T-Bird was robbed of Cambodia after seeing her.

[Braden]

Finished All-Stars last night

Spoiler:

As a whole, the season wasn't nearly as bad as I anticipated. I think going into it with low expectations ultimately made the whole thing a bit more satisfying. There were moments I would rather forget, like the whole Richard/Sue situation, and the boot order isn't as desirable as it could have been. But generally I kinda liked it, dare I say.

The Chapera tribe is what ruined the All-Star experience for me. Saboga wasn't that enjoyable either, but the elitism and continuous success of Chapera is potentially the downfall of this season. Mogo Mogo was my favourite tribe in terms of interest (especially because of Richard )

In terms of ranking the cast, I would say

Shii Ann
Richard
Jerri
Jenna. L
Ethan
Jenna. M
Rob. M
Amber
Rudy
Colby
Kathy
Sue
Rob. C
Tina
Lex
Alicia
Rupert
Tom

I actually grew to like Amber & Rob during the merge, but wasn't so fond of them at the beginning of the game which explains my mixed feelings towards them. In a way I'm glad it was those two in the final tribal council, only because it brought a really entertaining one. Like, I dislike Tom & Alicia but these moments were stellar:

Alicia: How would you describe your game in one word?
Rob: *mumbles* competitively *mumbles*
Alicia: 'scuse me?!
Rob: COM-petitively

-Tom goes to shake Rob's hand-
-Rob holds out his hand-
-Tom backs away-
Tom: Don't be stupid, stupid!!

Like, I h8!! really h8 Tom! But I've been saying that line all day and it probably makes it even more amusing that Rob got back at him at the reunion

Jenna Lewis was amazing to start off with, definitely the shining star of Saboga imho. But then fell slightly when she joined Chapera. She was still a nice presence to watch, but I swear the Chapera tribe could kill anybody's likability. Her disdain for Shii Ann was also slightly off-putting, but their utr feud was quite enjoyable to watch.

Rupert was really dissapointing after his Pearl Island appearance, probably the biggest dissapointment of them all. His righteousness did not come across well this season at all, and when he wasn't being annoyingly arrogant he was just a mere background character with nothing to him. Not impressed.

Tom is awful, and nothing really needs to be added to that. Apart from the fact that his son is just as awful, and his name is literally 'body odour'.

Shii Ann is a goddess, plain and simple. Her immunity win at f7 is probably my favourite moment of the entire season. And the quote "*scoffs*Stupid people*scoffs* STUPID people, lemme say that again. Stupid players!" is amazing + I think she loved Richard Hatch just as much as I did, and her hatemances with Alicia/Jerri/Jenna.L were all brilliant.

Alicia sucks in All-Stars, like I feel as if I could ironically like her, but she is just so unlikeable it's hard to do that. I kinda appreciate her hothead moments, but they rarely happen and she just makes herself look stupid with them. And then 3/4 of the time she's just a background character with nothing to her at all.

Kathy was a let down this season. I LOVED Marquesas Kathy, so it was sad to not like her as much this time around. Although I have to say, her jury speech did ~touch~ me.

Lex is an idiot, and I'm glad he called out at the reunion.

Jerri was okay to begin with, but it was sad to see her so bottled up. I was happy to see the really Jerri return when Saboga was disbanded I just love that she has the ability to run people up the wrong way so easily, even though she's literally harmless & her reunion speech was on point

Ethan was really, really likeable, and I know that's like his thing but I actually like CP/scheming Ethan mixed with his likeable personality.

Colby redeemed himself from his initial season, where I wasn't fond of him at all. But then ruined things by going against Hatch and then in his boot episode went totally bitchy against the females.

Sue I actually loved her awkwardness within the Chapera tribe. She was the only redeeming factor to making Chapera somewhat bearable. But then it turned dark & it's sad that Sue went through what she did, but it's just soooo set apart from the game I just was happy that she was able to get away from it.

Richard he is the epitome of all-star, and I am so glad his appearance on All-Stars did not hinder my opinion of him (apart from the Sue incident, which was an inexcusable action), his second appearance made me love/appreciate him even more. It's so rare that someone's arrogance can translate to charm, butmRichard does it so easily. And I love that he's a 'gay stud' & 'The Provider', he really is my all-time favourite Survivor thus far. + he was amazing even in his last few minutes of the game..."I've been bamboozled!", "good on y'all -whacks Colby on the back-", "Food, food, food"

Rob. C was a non-factor this time around, which is a shame because I like him as a character. But he was already getting wind blown up his ass for the way he played first time around...he didn't need a successful all-star position to make his head even bigger.

Jenna. M her All-Star story is so sad, and I do not think she made a mistake by coming out to play. I can't imagine all of the thoughts running through her head. On one hand her mother is dying at home, but on the other she's received a big compliment by being invited to play a game that provided so much...and a game that her mother was happy to see her play.

Rudy's two-episode arc was good. And I have respect for him to come out and play at the age he did.

Tina is meh.

Ghandia is iconic

Loving Season 27, watching The Australian Outback too and it's amazing, even the setting for tribal council is just breathtaking!

[Firewire]

Thailand was horrific. The only one I liked was Ghandia.

I'll start The Amazon today.

[Ramsay]

I literally can't finish Thailand it's awful

[reece(:]

Even Probst slates Thailand
