In response to "Roger More (Survivor from B2)" by the wrong element, bad guy

Just some stuff on this

Posted by Jim (aka Jim) Mar 18 '13, 11:03

Despite Jeff's claim that Brandon passed the psych eval, it's widely believed that he actually did not pass.

Of course, we'll never know for sure. As far as requiring medication...I do not believe they are allowed medication. So I'd wager few (if any) people who require it have been on the show.

Other rumors are that the plan had been to increase the family visit to 2 people...so Jeff could find a way to get Russell back on the show. Word has it that Brandon had his dad coming. When told he could have 2, he was excited to have his mom come out as well. But Probst told him that Brandon chooses 1 and he (Jeff) chooses 1.

Apparently the same conversation was had with Cochran to get Coach back out there. Cochran's mom apparently lost her fucking mind on him and told him to go fuck himself, she and her husband would be coming.

Questions about that first part. - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 18, 11:11 7
- I take it to mean that he failed, Jeff knows he failed and is lying in his interviews. -- nm - Jim Mar 18, 11:13 6
  - It's more likely that they found someone who would pass any contestant, no questions asked. - David Mar 18, 11:16 5
    - Also, I think he might not be as "bad" in non-stressful situations. - Kim Pine Mar 18, 11:18 3
      - More than anything else this season, I believe his actions were driven by fear of repercussions when he went back home. -- nm - David Mar 18, 11:20 2
        
        I agree 100% with this. he didn't want to be seen as weak, or stupid. Better to go out - Jim Mar 18, 11:26 1
        
        Oh yeah. He obviously caught a lot of crap from his dad/uncle about his first time around. -- nm - Kim Pine Mar 18, 11:27
    - I could see either of these scenarios being true. -- nm - Jim Mar 18, 11:18
If Probst is meddling this much -- and it's all just hearsay -- he is ruining Survivor. -- nm - David Mar 18, 11:06 20
- Oh yeah, it's all hearsay. And you know where it's coming from too. On one hand I think...there's no way he's that much in the middle of shit. - Jim Mar 18, 11:09 19
  - honestly, it's those types of characters that are the reason i no longer watch. -- nm - Andie Mar 18, 11:20
  - I've read in other places (not related to our friend) that Probst is effectively running the show (and has been for a few seasons). -- nm - Kim Pine Mar 18, 11:12 17
    - Yeah, he has been running it for a while. I really think we have him to blame for the Hantzes and Coaches and all the returnees every year. -- nm - Jim Mar 18, 11:17 16
      - I think this is correct. -- nm - Kim Pine Mar 18, 11:19
      - See, I don't mind returning players. I mind the lousy ones like Hantzes, Coaches and Philllips. - David Mar 18, 11:19 14
        
        You know who deserves to b back? - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 18, 11:35 1
        
        They could bring back the dude with the artificial leg too...they could each lead a team! -- nm - Jim Mar 18, 11:38
        
        Ya know...I think he had to bring Russell back for Heroes v Villains. Especially when Hatch couldn't go. - Jim Mar 18, 11:22 2
        
        Totally agreed regarding your last paragraph. -- nm - David Mar 18, 11:30 1
        
        But if they did that, they wouldn't have had the epic meltdown last week. Course...I would love to have watched Troy and Philip try to co-exist. -- nm - Jim Mar 18, 11:35
        
        There aren't enough Malcolms though. The casting people want to cast Malcolms, but they get stuck with Reynolds. -- nm - Roger More Mar 18, 11:22 8
        
        Then that might be the time to pull back on the concept of returnee's. - Will Hunting Mar 18, 11:26 6
        
        I don't watch the show but it seems like it's *always* some sort of all-star thing every time now. -- nm - zork Mar 18, 11:34
        
        I liked it the first couple times with the whole redemption theme they had going on. It's done now - oblique Mar 18, 11:27 4
        
        I don't mind an occasional All-Star season (where it's *all* previous players). I just don't want to see fans vs. favorites or - Kim Pine Mar 18, 11:29 3
        
        I'm OK with fans vs favorites. The first FvF season was great. I'm less on-board with "tribe leader" returnees -- nm - Roger More Mar 18, 11:31 2
        
        That why we have FvF 2. The first one was very well received and highly thought of. This one has just sucked, for the most part. - Jim Mar 18, 11:36 1
        
        The season's not over yet though. The last FvF had a boring start too, and only really got going post-merge with the Parvati/Amanda/Cirie alliance - Roger More Mar 18, 11:40
        
        This is a very true statement. -- nm - Jim Mar 18, 11:23
