Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION The Anywhere Machine Survivor: FANS v FAVES 2

Holly was my fave of the Final 5 but after she went I was happy to see Fabio win and Chase come in second.

Also glad to see Sash shut out of the votes (although I did feel a bit sorry for him) and that douchebag Dan get kicked out at 4. God, his jury speech was pathetic. Acting all betrayed and bitter like he actually deserved to be in the Top 3. Dan - you were a decrepit, mysoginistic (I read on another board that he was gunning for the women hard-core from almost Day 1) tool who sat around doing nothing for 38 days. Almost *anyone* was more deserving of your spot on this show.

Speaking of deluded jury speeches/questions - Marty's pathetic attempt to catch Chase out and make him look dumb. I LOVED the way it back-fired on him and Chase just made Marty look completely stupid by not falling into his obvious trap. And then to see his mortal enemy Jane romp home with the audience favourite award... Priceless! Well done Jane!

I think Fabio did play a pretty good game and deserved his win but if Holly had been there at the end I definitely think she would have deserved it more. She played a much more strategic game than he did and also did it without really making any enemies (except maybe Dan). She also had the harder time out there by being an older, less physically fit female. Maybe she and Jane can come back for another All Stars season?

Anyhoo, enjoyed the season. Looking forward to the next one.

Great ending to this season... loved how the final vote came out... Chase deserved a close second... and Sash deserved to get 0.0 votes... good stuff at the final tribal council... Marty looked like a tool (didn't have far to go to get there)... Chase came out strong, making up for a lot of his paranoia and waffling during the season... I'm glad Jane got the $100k... Shannon proved that it wasn't being out in the bush that made him act like an idiot -- he is an idiot... Naonka, well, I hope she just fades away... I could have done without Chase's singing on the reunion... Redemption Island sounds promising... curious how it'll work in terms of the broadcast...

"Survivor: Redemption Island" a.k.a. the return of two bloated over-exposed formers players...

"But seriously," I liked the first episode if only for the hot box of crazy tribal council... I hope Phillip hangs around for a while if only for the comedic value... looks like this will be a good season...

Oh good!! I wasn't going to talk to myself about it.

REALLY enjoyed the first ep; Am curious to see who will go all the way on redemption island.

Francesca rocks!

Phillip scares me.

He's grade-A insane!!!

1st ep is always way too early to see someone walking about in their briefs. Yikes Philip, that was unnecessary!! He's already dressing like it is day 32 1/2...

Finally watching Wednsday's ep...

I'm not caring as much for Boston Rob here as I did in Heroes vs. Villains, where I was rooting for him against Russell, who I still despise.

Go hairy Ralph!!! Love seeing him get under Russell's skin, hahaha!!

So Fabio, Jr. is off to redemption island. That whole blindside felt lame and unecessary to me, like Rob wanted an ego boost. Nutjob Phillip would have been a better candidate to oust.

I find myself hating Russell as much as the last two times he was on the show... would love to see him get voted out because of Ralph having the idol... I totally agree with you, Lash, about Matt's being voted off... there was no need, and it will probably come to bite Rob in the arse... maybe as early as next week...

I took IMMENSE JOY in watching that loser Russell get voted out.

The tribe pulled it off without a hitch... I was SO afraid Julie would flip.

WTF is up with Stephanie... she wants to marry Russell I think...

And even better-- Russell expected to see Francheesecake on Redemption Island... hahahahaha!!!!

maybe the next several seasons will be Russell-free now. One can pray so.

Just popping in to say I'm really enjoying this season. Three great Tribal Councils in a row IMO. Also SO happy to see Russel get ditched in this latest episode. Now if only Matt can deliver the killing blow at Redemption Island.

Like Lash, I'm not liking Rob as much as a person this season as I did in HvV but his incredible strategising, and charismatic control of his team is really impressive and enjoyable to watch.

I've got quite a few faves so far this season too. From Rob's team I'm liking Andrea, crazy-Phillip and espcially Kristina. From Russel's team I'm liking Sarita, Ralph, the ex-military guy and especially Julie. LOVED the way she played Russell along and then stuck the knife in. That's what he gets for still not knowing her name after like 6 days out there!

The only person I'm *really* hating this season (apart from Russell of course) is Stephanie. What a sycophantic freak. She has *really* drunk the Russell kool-aid. Admonishing the team for ditching Russell as if he was ever going to help any of them to get to the end. She hitched her horse to the wrong wagon early on and now hopefully she's going to go down with it.

Boy, am I praying... praying that Matt kicks Russell's ass next week and we don't have to hear "I'm Russell Hantz!" again until the reunion...

Stephanie is a tool... hope she's next to go...

Yeah Stephanie sucks. She slit her own throat... then made that vague "storm's a-coming" threat... she reminds me of a helter-skelter Manson girl.

Blacs, I am *totes* rooting for super-underdog Kristina!

Oh, Russell ain't gone yet...unfortunately.

YES! That is such a good analogy. Someone on another board called her Squeaky Fromme which made me .

She needs to find another hidden immunity idol STAT!

I love Kristina too... funny how the smart, slightly older woman usually ends up an early target (and fan favorite)...

Prediction: She finds the second idol with no clue, just like the first.

This time she tells NO ONE.

'scuse me, sorry, so sorry, 'scuse me ma'am, sir, thing I don't really recognize...comin' through. Post whoring here people. Make way.

Dunno. This season is feeling a little to...artificial? I mean, I know this isn't really real and all, but it just feels a little too staged and unreal somehow this season. Might be the Redemption Island angle. Hard to say.

I guess Ralph seems more artifical Hillbilly compared to others like Big Tom (the excessive body hair doesn't help ) Philip is just effin' GOOFY. It just feels like everybody is somehow too made for primetime. I don't know why it's striking me so much this season as compared to others, but I'm really feeling it.

Boston Rob's still fun to watch play, though.

This season definitely feels more like stunt casting than usual... and I'm not liking the Redemption Island angle... especially if it saves Russell...

Redemption Island seems like a sound concept, but the execution is looking really off. It's also taking time away from us seeing the cast strategize and what-not, which is the real draw of the show. Also, not a fan of throwing challenges. That almost always bites tribes ion the ass. Really, no favorites other than Boston Rob emerging.

Redemption Island is okay with me... I used to love Real World/Road Rules "the duel", where one from each team had to fight it out to stay in the game very episode. I'd almost rather they went with that for this season of Survivor too (the winner of the RW/RR duel went back to their team right away, usually pissed that they got voted into the duel yet also with leverage because they WON the duel).

I feel what Lardy is saying though, but I can track the point of artifice to the Rob/Russell recasting. Redemption Island feels like a way to keep them around as long as possible.

NO STUNT CASTING next season, please, Survivor!

I'm really enjoying Redemption Island. I hate Russel so much, but I think that's part of the fun.

You just know he's going to kick butt on the island. He's good at challenges, and I think he can beat Matt in puzzles or physical challenges.

Really, when I think on it, having Russell there is genius... half the folks love him and half the folks hate him and want him to fail!

If he wins, the lovers get to be happy and the haters (which I count myself as) get the fun of bitching about it and PRAYING he loses next time.

That's kind of special there, for real.

I enjoyed Russell those two seasons last year, but having him in three out of the last four seasons IS a bit too much! Rob's not as bad because he didn't go very far in Heroes v. Villains and had a long lull before appearing there. He's entertaining and very good at the game, especially at learning from his mistakes.

I just haven't felt compelled by anyone else at this point.
