survivor - heroes vs. villains

Boston Rob's the man. All he is, like Elizabeth Hasselbeck, is because of Reality TV.
Well at least Elizabeth can say she was married to an NFL player with money.

Rob? He married Amber Brkich, who got on Survivor because she was "bored sitting around the house."

I haven't watched Survivor in about five years, but I was actually kind of disappointed Jonny Fairplay didn't make the cut for this one. We live in the same town, and another SportsJournalists.com-er and I have hung out with him a few times. While he's still somewhat obnoxious at times, most of it is just a ploy for the cameras.

He was on the last All-Star show they did, Fans vs. Favorites. About the second day on the island he started crying and complaining about missing his family and his kid (I think) and asked to be voted out by his tribe. Jeff was visibly upset on the air because I think there was already bad blood between the two of them and despite that the show had gone pretty far out of its way to get him on for a second time. Then, after all that, he flaked out after two days.

So, I don't think we'll be seeing any more Johnny Fairplay.


I believe it was a prearranged deal (I read this somewhere) that he was going to leave early because his then-girlfriend/now-wife was preggers and due not too long after that got started.

How is his poker career working out?
 
I don't know that I can watch another season of Coach Ben Wade.
I thought he was funny at first, but the second half of that season he justed grated on me.

Interesting--that's who I'm most looking forward to.

I think him and Russell might be a dynamic duo of awesomeness. There will definitely be some arrogance on the Villains side.

I know a lot of people who agree with you.
I really thought the guy was a riot for about half the season, but I found him hard to watch after a while.
I know I'm in the minority.
 
I actually think the opposite. I hated both him and Tyson the first few episodes and, by the end, I loved them both.

I was thoroughly saddened by Coach when he got the ax. Say what you will about him but the dude was one tough SOB.
 
I read somewhere that "Romber" pocketed more than $2 million in appearance fees last year, which is especially impressive since they peaked in popularity six years ago.
