Wasn't that the worst "REWARD" challenge in the history of Survivor?!?!?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 96/100. coffeebreak (7187)   ranked 6 out of 306 in survivor 2 years ago

Wasn't it tho! I mean come on..one (looked like double, definately not king) bed for three full grown people, the man in the middle (get your minds out of the gutters!) and they lay there watching a TV Movie Treasure Island..made probably before any of them were born...1 bowl of popcorn to share amongst them and the man in the middle holding it. No pillows to prop up on, just lay there flat and head at an slight angle on one small pillow and watch a TV movie...I didn't even see that they had anything to drink! I mean how "rewarding" is that? THey didn't even get to sleep in the bed or get a meal or a shower,..just a bowl of popcorn, and old movie and...well.. I guess Colby got front row seat at a cat fight, but we won't go there.

Is Survivor getting chincy or what? I have thought these last several seasons the rewards were getting a bit less than in the first several seasons, but still..they were a lot better than that one last night!

Can't they do any better?

Nothing against the movie, but they could have fed them better!

And Amanda should have read that clue out loud instead of just giving it back to Danielle...


myLot reputation of 96/100. coffeebreak (7187)   ranked 6 out of 306 in survivor  2 years ago

No, definately nothing against the movie...but for them to all lay in the bed together chomping on popcorn!?

And yeah, that would have been a good way to go if she'd read it outloud. Only thing of it was how funny Colby looked as he sat there...not knowing what to do...stop the cat fight or watch and cheer!


myLot reputation of 96/100. dawnald (24270)   ranked 2 out of 306 in survivor  2 years ago

Maybe he felt he was being honorable letting Danielle take it since she had found it, idk...


myLot reputation of 96/100. coffeebreak (7187)   ranked 6 out of 306 in survivor  2 years ago

Texas men have class. But Amanda should have read it real quick or at least tried to for the sake of trying to get a clue.


myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532)  2 years ago

What Amanda wants to happen is for Colby to Wrestle Danielle so she can run away from her, read the clue and flush it to the toilet but Colby was so Into Treasure island. In an Interview, Amanda Said the Movie Treasure island sucks. I guess she will hate that movie for life.


myLot reputation of 96/100. dawnald (24270)   ranked 2 out of 306 in survivor  2 years ago

Guess she's just not into old movies! lol


myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532)  2 years ago

In an Interview, Amanda said she was done with Survivor (Finally thank God) she wont play for a 4th time because she knows that she will just lose again plus she was starting her very own perfume fragrance and she said that she will never watch Treasure Island or read books about it.lol


myLot reputation of 96/100. dawnald (24270)   ranked 2 out of 306 in survivor  2 years ago

How many times can they ask a person to come back anyway? give somebody else a chance!


myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532)  2 years ago

2 is supposed to be the limit but Lynn Spill-man thinks its a brilliant idea to use people for the 3rd time, she cut Twila,Neleh,Natalie Bolton,Kenny,Shaneand many more who were more interesting to her friends(yup all 3rd timers were her friends). If you are curious who is Lynn Spillman here is her photo(she is the one with black hair):



myLot reputation of 96/100. coffeebreak (7187)   ranked 6 out of 306 in survivor  2 years ago

Well, lets see, off the top of my head.. Rupert, Colby, Parvary, I think JT and that other female villian that is siding with the heros... can't think of her name..her third. Oh yeah, voted out was Cirie and one other one, forget her name
Second time around for the rest.

Yes, I am sick and tired of the same ones playing. Not a single one of them other than Russell and Parvarty are playing like they did their first go around. The others, just don't seem to have it going on anymore. Colby and Rupert particularly...and Coach.. they just didn't have the gumption and gusto that they had the first time or 2 that they played. Colby won so many rewards and immuity his first time around... second and third times he can't even make it through to mid way. Cute, but boring!


myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532)  2 years ago

Jerri, and Amanda were playing for the 3rd time. This is Stephenie's 3rd time but its her 1st allstars, In Guatemala she make is history as the 1st castaway to return in a non Allstar season. Her game there was similar with Russell minus the Idols. She controls the game and stab people in the back even if its not necessary and she lost in the final 2.

Sandra is only Playing for the 2nd time, she was the winner of Pearl Islands and was actually heroic on that season but they want to split her from Rupert so they put her on villains. Her game is always the same, be upfront and expose her "as long as it aint me tactic"

There were r33wards much worst than that before,Survivor Vanuatu have the grilled cow head to be eaten together with muddy alcoholic drink known as Kava,at a Vanuatu native village.Survivor Amazon have a jar of disgusting guts as rewards (they use it as fish bait) Palau have the Pringles reward and the early seasons have the ever lame love letters from home.


myLot reputation of 96/100. coffeebreak (7187)   ranked 6 out of 306 in survivor  2 years ago

Well, they try to stick with the ways of the island so the cow head is what they normally eat there and since it was in the village...

The jar of guts - it was for bait and that at least meant food for the whole tribe

The Pringles...probably at least had soda or wine (they always have wine and beer) and (I don't remember this one) probably at least they all got to be somewhere nice instead of cooped up in a bedroom.

The love letters, although nice to get and all..they've only been gone less than 39 days...granted I'd miss mine, but I doubt I'd cry over it all... I'd be happy and glad to hear from them!

In the beginning, remember they'd get cars and family as rewards?


myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532)  2 years ago

They use to have expensive rewards but many fans complained about it since they want them to starve that maybe the reason why they cut down the rewards. Oh Remember marquesas have a stick of snickers bar as a reward for a single person.blink I think the most trainwreck reward next to what we have last episode in history of Survivor was the movie date with hot dogs and pop corn between Frank and Brandon from Africa they hate each other since they one and they one a movie date, Frank is a Homophobe and Brandon just hates Frank.

In Palau a very delicious feast won by Tom,Jenn,Ian and Janu were ruined because Janu suddenly barfed everything she ate.

The Pringles reward was done in a Japanese World War 2 ship and they dont have drinks or anything to do. They just ate pringles with Survivor trivias on each chip.


myLot reputation of 96/100. coffeebreak (7187)   ranked 6 out of 306 in survivor  2 years ago

Yeah, they have definatley gone down in expense. When down to about the last 5-6 players, in the first couple seasons, a car was a reward. Colby won 2 didn't he? At least one for sure but I think 2.

I wonder if the sponsers are not as anxious to sponser anymore? Could be. This constant "vs" replays might be telling the advertisers that the show is dwindling and they don't want to bother with it anymore


myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532)  2 years ago

I think Car Reward is removed because of the curse thing. Maybe they still have some expensive reward waiting for them.

For a 20th season the ratings was still not bad, I think aside from casting there were problems with the creative team and the editors as well. We have different editors now actually. Before editors dont really focus much about playing the game, they develop characters but ever since Guatemala, 1 to 2 people swallows facetime while the rest is ignored.

I would have thought there would have been more food on this reward trip. It seems that a majority of rewards have a basis on food and comfort. Even if the trip was going to be based around the movie for Treasure Island, you would thing there would have been a variety of snack foods: popcorn, soda, chips, etc...even beer. A movie and a bowl of popcorn isn't much of a reward.

Well, in all honesty, who is to say that there wasn't really more food for them to eat, I mean they can't show everything that happens all the time on a one hour "clip" of everything that goes on. It might not have been the best reward that there ever was, but it wasn't the worst either. Heck, I have no interest in Treasure Island but to have the opportunity to chill out for a little while around all the others would be a certain reward.
