hey everyone

[Brian Southworth]

Look. Those of you who have been in here for awhile know how much I love this game. Remember when I was accused of working for CBS? But, something feels wrong to me this season. I don't believe the whole Jonny Fairplay thing. It is out of character. It was more than that. He has things in the works and needed to clean up his Image. I don't buy what they fed us. Also did anyone hear when Amanda said that thing about rule bending and that she couldn't take any more of it??????? Or how about how the final tribal felt. I've watched every season at least three times, some more than others and something was wrong. Come on, if you're a fan you had to feel it. I can't put my finger on it, but I feel it. I still love the idea of this game as I do the Idea of Democracy but something is wrong with this season. So sorry if I .....
I love 16 perfect stranger building a new society who then votes its members out until there is only one million dollar winner that we call THE sole survivor but something just hasn't settled with me since JFP's exit. I know manipulation when I see it and we've been had.
With much love,
ME

I'm drawing a blank about what Amanda said (senior moment), but JFP exit didn;t sit well with me. THere was a lot of hype about him, and he just waltzed into the sunset, (only my opinion). I've said it before, and I don;t know if this is what you mean, but I feel as though Fans/Fav's was more scripted than the others. THey rarely used to show shots of the jury reactions, (maybe just a glance, but Eliza looked like she was vieing for an Oscar...no pun intended). All we can do, and we say it at the end of each, is hope the next one is better.

Considering CBS's "other" show (BB) and how scripted it has become, you never know but after their being sued in Season #1 I would think they wouldn't be that stupid.

Did anyone notice they didn't have to find water this season or lug the buckets back and forth. I didn't see anyone boiling it or eating rice either. Are the survivors "getting a bit spoiled" now??

I imagine to get people to come back they had to let up on things or a lot of people would of said no-or a lot of people ( PG, Courtney ) DID say no so they change it up some.
