Survivor 25: Philippines

There's a malcolm ponderosa video too, they didn't really seem bitter at all. Probably producer input on how they asked questions.

The more I heard Malcolm talk the less I liked him. I'm kind of glad he got voted out 4th.

Butterface, but OMG what a nice rack.

Not that much of a butterface, more of a butterlaugh.

Going into the last episode, I was sure it was Malcolm or Denise, then I thought Lisa had a chance after Tribal Council. Did they mention Denise was from Cedar Rapids earlier in the season? That seems like something that I would have remembered. Anyway, it was one of the better seasons in a while.

I don't recognize most of those names for Favorites...I'll probably remember them when I see them, but I think watching 15 seasons in a little over a year has really screwed up my ability to differentiate what happened when.

I'd say that for all but 1 of the returning players that they had impacts on their season and are known for something. The problem is that these are misfit survivors, either really crazy in a dumb way, good but dull, or just kinda side characters who never had a shot to be serious contenders. I just hope that they're giving these players a shot so we don't get too burned out on the real big time Survivor players (which was becoming a problem with Russell, James, Parvati and Amanda among others).

Yeah, I agree. I'm just trying to make sense of it. If I were to make 2 allstar tribes of 10 each, I would put maybe 2 of these people on them (Malcolm and Brenda). This is like a 4th or 5th rate allstar tribe at best.

Brandon Hantz makes Lisa Whelchel seem intelligent, commanding and decisive. Another season of constant inner-conflict soul searching via the God-phone.

Look at the bright side...at least it's possible we could get another season full of religious zealots out of this!

No, but seriously...I hope someone pretends to be religious, starts a cult, and keeps saying in confessionals what a load of crock it is...while Hantz is bowing down to him the whole time. That might be fun.

That's sort of what Coach did. I mean Coach didn't come out and say it was a croc, but it was so obvious he was using some generalized zen-spirituality thing to manipulate and pacify that he may as well have. But even Coach failed at being a successful Brandon Whisperer. You can't control that kind of crazy.

They might be calling it Fans vs Favorites now... but I guarantee it will be called Morons vs Misfits by the time the show starts... have you seen the cast? I mean seriously, something is up.

Yeah, we've seen the returning cast, I posted it on Sunday night. My theory is that they're saving the real all-stars for a Heroes VS Villains type of season, maybe 27 or 28. Every person coming back for s26 has never come back before, so they're trying to cycle in some new "all-star" faces so the big names don't get used up any more than they already have. They're probably also hoping to give the Fans a chance this time, since they got fucking annihilated by the Favorites in s16.

Possible Names for Next Season:

• Coat-tail Riders vs Short-bus Riders?
• The Incompetent vs The Inept?
• The Medicated vs The Manic?
• The Dumb vs the Dumber?
• The Unemployed vs The Unemployable?
• Pyschos vs Sociopaths?
• Qwerty's vs Tad10's?

Still better than the 1-Returning Player per team idea. Usually someone comes in with a new mindset/attitude in these All-Star games and makes it entertaining. Besides, if you put a Boston Rob or Pavarti level player in, you know the newbies won't stand a chance.
