By the way, I tested negative for COVID. While I’m happy I’m not sick now my job is not going to pay me for the days I missed.

Jeff has pretty much always lets stuff happen, he doesn't road block too much from the contestants in 40 years of the show. Like there's no hard feelings, neither of the 2 have any regrets are at all upset about taking off their clothes for peanut butter and oreos. Literally nothing bad came out of that little piece of Survivor, just good publicity for the show and a playboy cover for the girls.

I love when Jeff does casual chopper stand entrance.

quote:

There's an interesting interview with ET Canada where Jeff explains why they don't do this anymore. I've transcribed it here.

"Back in the day, you used to leave the finale in some dramatic fashion. On a jet ski, and attached to a helicopter, or arrive at the finale in the same way. Will you ever do that again?"

"Here's the thing. I loved doing those. They were so fun. We ran out of ideas. And we don't wanna repeat, like I don't wanna do another version of the same thing. And the last version involved scuba diving to Venice, like swimming underwater to Venice beach in California, and then getting on a skateboard. And I was skating through Venice, and I'm not a skateboarder, [so] we hired a guy, he said, 'I'll teach ya a couple of really cool moves.' And I said, 'Really?' And he goes, '_Easy._ You'll look good.' And I said 'Ok, great!' And... he tried to teach me and turns out it's not as simple as he thought."

"Skateboarding is incredibly difficult!"

"So then we had another version. And this is actually the last one. This is a better version. It was all connected. The last time we tried it, our plan was I was going to repel out of a helicopter. I am not a mountain climber guy dude, I just play one on TV! And [then] land on the roof of Madison Square Garden and then Batman walk down the side of the building, and go in with the votes. And the Batman walk was totally cool. We talked to a stunt guy, he said 'That's easy.' We go train to shoot to repelling out of a chopper. And I'm with this stunt man, and I'm getting all buckled up and he goes, 'Man, I gotta say I admire you. You're doing... you're doing one of the toughest stunts in the world of stunts.' And I said, '...what are you talking about!?' And he goes..."

"[joking] 'No one told me this!'"

"That's what he said, he goes, 'Nobody told you?' I said, 'I have no idea what you're talking about, they told me that I was gonna climb down a little ladder.' He goes, 'This is one of the riskiest stunts you can do. You shouldn't do it.' I said, '...wait, I'm-- no, be-- [fumbling speech], seriously tell me the truth.' He goes, 'You should absolutely not be doing this.'"

"And so you didn't."

"We called the shoot off. That was the end."

Butt first, let's

I don't actually think Rob would do that well. He'd have a target and I think he'd be one of these "old schoolers" who get so worked up about the idea that they can't keep up that they gently caress up real early. But like that's largely based on his Know It All opinions and some of them are intentionally counter to Fishbauch for the sake of debate.

On the other hand I'd be highly amused listening to episodes of Know-It-Alls on a season where Rob and Fish played.

That's why I'd just be watching for the Know It Alls when the two of them after every episode clumsily try and justify their bad moves and get real mad.

Even if it has to happen after the season is over it will be worth it. Rob would never fully get over it.

Congratulations!
I highly doubt Rob C would ever play again. Walking away from his media empire for a couple months would probably severely damage his income. I don’t think he’s rolling in cash or anything but he’s able to make a respectable living geeking out about reality game shows and talking with the contestants. Risking that for the slim chance at going back on Survivor and it going well seems like a bad deal.

He’d come into any season with an enormous target on his back and I don’t think anyone believes he’s a Tony/Boston Rob/Parvati level talent who could potentially play through that.

Rob C would be near the top of the list of “players I’d love to see play again after getting the surgery from Face/Off” though. Or at least subjecting the rest of the cast to some sort of MIB-style mind wipe.

I doubt it would hurt his business. RHAP is an institution at this stage and it could survive a few months with his wife or Josh Wiggler or Sophie or Tyson or Fish or someone as the face of it, especially if its all driven towards "ROB RETURNS!"

I just think he's smart enough to recognize he probably wouldn't win and there's a better chance he'll hurt his legacy than add to it and I think Rob takes himself a bit seriously and holds onto stuff so its just not worth it. Even though those are all the reasons I'd kind of like to see how it all played out.

It feels inevitable and like a bad idea. Obviously it's great content.

Rob may be silenced for 13 weeks of TV but there's nothing in the CBS contract that says the ghost of Casey Kasem can't do podcasts.

I watched Cambodia again earlier this year, Fishbach did pretty OK, just got way too antsy and excited for a big move. If he could have just relaxed a bit after the merge, he was in a good position.

A bunch of deep dives dropped on RHAP over the last week - I haven't listened yet, but so far Kim, Adam, Ethan, and Michele have done interviews.

I think Rob said he wasn’t interested in the camp life aspects of Survivor back when he was doing Evolution of Survivor. One episode he said he’d consider doing Big Brother, but probably not Survivor.

Finished Fiji today for the first time, what a shitshow of a final tribal. So many pissy players. It’s amazing how mad people got in the early seasons reacting to some pretty minor lies and manipulations considering the triple- reverse-backstabs and constantly shifting voting blocs of modern Survivor.

I have no clue why multiple jury members go in hard on Cassandra, considering she was a super goat and seemed like a nice person??? Like we all knew she wasn’t winning, why poo poo on her? Buncha dicks.

What does the community at large think about the Dreamz/Yau Man truck fiasco? Honestly, going back on his promise could’ve possibly worked in Dreamz favor if he really owned it, but whenever a player is wishy washy about a lie the jury rips into them.

Overall, not the strongest gameplay season, but some funny social dynamics and some wacky twists/gimmicks I appreciated. Could not believe that a tribe won immunity, then chose to give it up to maintain their cushy living space. And especially enjoyed that at the merger, they told the merged new tribe they were going back to live there. Everyone’s celebrating and high fiving, and when they get there the crew has stolen everything but a pot, machete and fishing stuff. It was like the anti-merge feast.

Not sure about people overall, but I agree with you: it was a worthy long shot by Yau-Man and Dreamz fumbled it completely. Either own it or say no thanks.

im watching Australian Survivor 2018, Contenders vs Champions and the one issue that really pops up early to me is them not throwing names up for the players for their confessionals and the cast feeling a bit generic so far (outside of fuckin Russel Hantz what the gently caress is he doing here). It's definitely harder to follow the players this time around than in 2017.
