Responses:

Would? Yes. Could? Probably not. -- nm - nubby Nov 30, 11:52
yes. - znufrii Nov 30, 11:52
On Survivor, without a doubt!! Because most of the time, the villains are loved as much as the players. Seriously...Survivor watchers... - Jim Nov 30, 11:52 20
- You're confusing "remembrance" with "love". -- nm - David Nov 30, 12:00 5
  - Yeah...but how boring would last season have been without Coach? - Jim Nov 30, 12:05 4
    - Coach wasn't the villian last year, just the clueless putz. Tyson was a jacktard for the ages. -- nm - David Nov 30, 12:08 3
      - Sweet...in that case I was my normal self...cause I liked Tyson. :) -- nm - Jim Nov 30, 12:10 2
        
        See, this is something I totally don't understand. - the wrong element, bad guy Nov 30, 12:19
        
        OH COME ON!!! -- nm - David Nov 30, 12:15
- related Survivor question: are there any seasons good enough to merit going back and blasting through it on DVD? - TFox Nov 30, 11:56 6
  - First off...not all of the seasons are on DVD. For the next season...I'd recommend Palau, Pearl Islands and Australia. - Jim Nov 30, 12:10
  - I liked 13 (Cook Islands) and 14 (Fiji). 16 (Micronesia) has some good moments, but I missed most of them. -- nm - Roger More Nov 30, 11:59 1
    - And I guess relatedly, if any seasons are heavily represented in the rumored new cast... - TFox Nov 30, 12:00
  - not sure the number but I liked the first one with Rupert...Pirate themed -- nm - Beaker Nov 30, 11:56 2
    - and was that the one with Johnny Fairplay? cause he was ratings gold first time around. -- nm - Beaker Nov 30, 11:57 1
      - Yep - #7, Pearl Islands -- nm - Roger More Nov 30, 11:58
- BOB! -- nm - Beryllium Nov 30, 11:53 4
  - (Or was Bob from the season before? :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 30, 11:53 3
    - the season before, with Sugar, Crystal, etc -- nm - Roger More Nov 30, 11:54 2
      - that's what I thought. And then the season before that had James the Undertaker, right? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 30, 11:55 1
        
        he was there for two seasons - China, and then Micronesia -- nm - Roger More Nov 30, 11:55
- spoils - Roger More Nov 30, 11:53 1
  - and I think you picked the wrong season, because really, who loved Coach? -- nm - Roger More Nov 30, 11:54
I don't think I could convincingly pull it off. -- nm - psilotum Nov 30, 11:51
Side comment: Don't actors often say that it's more interesting for their craft to play the villain? And more fun? -- nm - con_carne Nov 30, 11:50 5
- Yeah, but very few people will see the actor later and try to kill them for it. -- nm - Spawn Nov 30, 11:53
- sorry, yeah, i meant reality. if i was ACTING the villain would be way more fun -- nm - Elf Andie Nov 30, 11:51 3
  - Oh. Fuck no, I wouldn't. :) -- nm - con_carne Nov 30, 11:59
  - Ummm, there's no need to remove "acting" from "reality" shows. -- nm - psilotum Nov 30, 11:55 1
    - i get tht, but people perceive that the person they see is the person you are -- nm - Elf Andie Nov 30, 11:57
aw helllll yeah. i'd rule at it too. -- nm - TFox Nov 30, 11:49 3
- unless there was stairs involved.... -- nm - Beaker Nov 30, 11:50 2
  - I also would have difficulty with the "eat a blended sea urchin and eel ballsack" challenge. - TFox Nov 30, 11:53
  - Wherein TFox's secret origin as a Dalek is uncovered. -- nm - Reagen Nov 30, 11:51
Sure. For half a million I'd do it. -- nm - Krusty Nov 30, 11:49
Like I said, Survivor, hell yeah. It all depends on the show. - Spawn Nov 30, 11:49
yes but it would be damn hard -- nm - Epiphany Nov 30, 11:49

- oh right, reality - so you are being you -- nm - Elf Andie Nov 30, 11:49 1
  - [deleted]
call me you have 10 million to discuss -- nm - Danedukenuuk Nov 30, 11:48
Depends on what 'villain' means - Will Hunting Nov 30, 11:48 1
- I change my answer to this (well put sir) -- nm - Beaker Nov 30, 11:49
the only quality 'hated' villain I can think of is Linus on Lost, so yes. Now, if you're asking me to be the role that destroys a beloved series... - Max Nov 30, 11:48
damn skippy I would) -- nm - Beaker Nov 30, 11:47
do I have to look like a jerk or actually be a jerk? I'd look like a jerk, sure, as long as the truth came out eventually. -- nm - amanda Nov 30, 11:47 2
- you have to be and look like a jerk till the very end. no on-screen redemption. -- nm - Elf Andie Nov 30, 11:48 1
  - Unless there's a reunion show and you brought higher ratings. -- nm - Roger More Nov 30, 11:49
I generally don't interact with a million people, so if they hate me, I wouldn't care. Yeah, I'd do it. -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Nov 30, 11:47
"We've already established what you are, ma'am. Now we're just haggling over the price." -- nm - David Nov 30, 11:47
It's just not in my nature to think like a villain. -- nm - Callisto Nov 30, 11:46
nope. Mostly because I think I'd suck at it. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 30, 11:46
