Quitters.......
Mar 19 2008, 11:06 PM EDT I'm really pi**ed off. I have been trying and trying to get on this show for years and they give Cathy the shot of a life time and she quits. Why not give those of us who would die to be on the show a shot instead of people like Cathy or Chet who as soon as things get tough they cry and walk away......I could just spit nails I'm so mad...what do I have to do to get the chance of a life time that those 2 cry babies just threw away....... 11 out of 14 found this valuable. Do you? |

Mar 20 2008, 7:31 AM EDT Spitting nails with you, I am so angry with these people. I just wish they would stop wasting a valueable space that someone with a little guts could have taken. Who in casting is picking these quitters ? Do you find this valuable? |

Favorites is an ok idea...why put people back on the show who already had the experience....they already got their shot and lost...why should they get another try when we can't even get on the show once?????

Favorites is an ok idea...why put people back on the show who already had the experience....they already got their shot and lost...why should they get another try when we can't even get on the show once?????"All of us on these posts agree with you...Favorites makes for a predicatable game for me since you already know how they play/strategize and they have an unfair advantage...Survivor cannot be hurting for applicants so let's hope they stop that concept...the fun of the program is watching unknown characters develop...A Million is a big deal but for returning players...most have agents are are auditioning for more media jobs...so they really don't play the 2nd game with the same intensity...Ozzy in this game is the only real player now...Tracy of the fans at least was attempting to strategize and she gets turned down by Quitter #1 Chet and now gets voted out...the rest are not willing to take chances...very frustrating and the best blindsides/plays went by the wayside making it a really boring game in my opinion! Think with Fairplay you have 3 quitters in just this one game...they should be charged penalties for leaving early...think of the costs involved in just getting them to the game...ughhhhhh Do you find this valuable? |

But you all know that if Ozzy gets kicked off, I will cry. I bet Cathy would have stayed if she had Ozzy to look at every day. I know Chett was hurting, but if I were in his position, I would try really hard to stay to watch him (different orientation of course but ...) I'd become Ozzy's best friend, not like Amanda naturally, I'd be more of the motherly type, but not too over bearing, I would gently kiss his boo-boos. (OH SHUT UP MART!!) There, I said it for you. (Remember Chett is the one that has the different orientation.) Enough! It's late, I've had a hard day. My daughter just walked by and said that if Ozzy gets kicked off she is not going to watch any more. She asked me to add that. 0 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

If they did they wouldn't "cast " the people that they do. I think they are tired of SURVIVOR because it might take a little maintainance to keep it top notch. I just don't see why there are so many people starry-eyed over past players. As for the quitters, if their screening process is so flawed that they can't spot potential quitters "losers" then yes the casting personal needs some restructuring. SURVIVOR has lost it's purity, it is not reality, it is not unscripted it is a new generation prime time soap opera. 0 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: Quitters.......
Mar 24 2008, 5:36 PM EDT I still love the show, there has always been quitters, I think no matter how hard they screen there always will be some. whats your longest camping trip? without bringing supplies. 39 days is a while. I imagine the mind does funky stuff to ya when away from loved ones for that long, wet cold hungry, no nookie, no lazy-boy or serta perfect sleeper, the simplest things like a hot shower, it's gotta mess with your head. BUT still, with family and friends watching the show HOW COULD YOU QUIT? selfish... To all you like myself, that just know they could never quit. I feel your pain! 1 out of 1 found this valuable.

RE: Quitters.......
Mar 24 2008, 6:24 PM EDT Well, I can tell you for a fact the absolute hardest thing for me to deal with would be the lazy whiney people. I constantly challenge myself with sleep dreprivation, cold, heat and hunger. I work by myself so I can't ask for help, I just figure out how to get it done. That is why I would never be invited to participate, social intolerance. Don't misunderstand me, I enjoy the luxuries as much as anyone but come on it's SURVIVOR suck it up. Has anyone ever been forced to apply or compete on the show, NO. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

Do I care if Survivor has lost it's purity? NO! I enjoy watching it. Since I don't watch day time soap opera, let us watch this without trying to put a negative spin on it. We like to have fun here. We like the show, we LOVE the show!! They are working on new ideas every day. Can't wait for Survivor Finland! I think that will be a little different, don't you? 1 out of 1 found this valuable.

RE: Quitters.......
Mar 25 2008, 5:32 PM EDT I'm not in it to quit it. I just have to wonder how I would come across famous. Might turn into the biggest betch ever .......... or not. I really don't see a million changing me much but there is a lot of good I could and would do with the bucks. College for my kids, pay bills for the family I still talk to and one of my neices recently had a baby and is only 18 so I would love to get her through college so she could could go up in the world instead of the steady down I see now. 1 out of 1 found this valuable.

The ones voted off have it easy, and bond. They have a good time just watching the game. They get to watch the entire game from where ever they are, and would know who is the real deal. What fun! And you are right ... if Ace were there, we would be safe, but I would put my money on Ace winning the entire thing. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |
