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
