18.  Rocky is one of the reason  his tribe didn't win - he too negative..

                                                    8-1-2014
20.  I thought Boo's question about being a Christian & greed was wrong toward Dreamz 'cause then what he doing in the game himself.
21.  Lisi's question was also, racism in nature.

FAMOUS:  NO- ONE
1.  Sylvia did appear in another relativity show Extreme Building.

SEASON #13 - AITUKAKI, COOK ISLAND - YUL

The first time a reality show wants to face the issue of race.  It was done in a nice way.  I still think this is way of trying to talk about race issues.  It is also about youth vs. older players.  We need to talk more about the race issues.  We can not be afraid of the it.

                          FINAL THREE
1st:  Yul
2nd:  Ozzy
3rd:  Becky

                                        SUMMARY
1.  Christina is too honest & a little bossy.  It proves that police officer make poor player.
2.  After 3 episodes
  the tribes are divided back to 2 tribes.  Roro & Aitu.
3.  Jessica (Flica)  doesn't want to join any alliances.  Just Courtney in previous season just want to make friends.
4.  In the swim challenge Brad doesn't want swim but do the puzzle causing Rebecca to swim which couldn't keep up with Ozzy.
5.  SURVIVOR AUCTION:  Sundra didn't  bid on anything but bid  on one thing which was sea urchin.
6.  In another swim challenge - Ozzy should gone last which was the furthest leg.
7.  The younger people want to relax instead of building shelter.
8.  JP thought he could be lazy & not work but the girls have the numbers.  (stupid)
9.  How could Sundra & Becky not be able to make fire in the tie breaker.
10.  Wish they stay in the original tribe a little longer.
11.  Rebecca didn't fight for herself at Tribal Council.  She was so quiet I forgot about her.
12.  Jonathan was becoming rude - he didn't see  how the other see him.  He played too hard.  He didn't take in considerate that the younger player wanted to play games instead of thinking strategy.
13.  A lot of players were not playing or strategist e.g. Pravati, Nate, too busy being friends.
14.  After the merge -the younger player just want to get drunk & making  love instead of playing.
15.  I liked what Sundra  said about Blacks not being able to swim - that THEY (current players) were just city kids & do not excess to swimming pools.  But they are many Blacks that do swim. (see future seasons).    Nate can swim & I ( whom is black) can swim.
16.  This season brought out lot of stereotypical issues which was some true & some was broken.
                                            UPDATE
17.    On the water challenges you should put the weaker swimmer first or swim the leg to less.  Ozzy always swam first or on the leg when he has to swim shorter distance & Saundra the greatest distance.  (mistake).
                                                 8-1-2014  UPDATED SUMMARY
18.  I notice that TV cameras have lot of close of Parvati & she does her famous sexy pose.  (enough)
19.  SURVIVOR 101 RULE:  Jessica needs to know it - she wanted everyone to tell her that she being voted off - WRONG!!!
20.  Billy & Sekous' theory  was wrong - that acting bossy then lazy was going to work.
                                                  10-7-2014 UPDATE SUMMARY
21.  It show some stereotypes but many are prove to be not true e.g.  Blacks can't swim - Nate can swim; Asians are smart - Becky prove that wrong;

FAMOUS:
JP will star in upcoming Janice Dickerson's reality show.

8.  Terry became a bully trying to get Cayasa to come over to his side.
9.  Sally should had practice the Hawaii sling on the raft - she wouldn't had lost the tip.
10.  Courtney thinks everyone likes her & they all out to have fun instead playing the game.  She thinks this is life experience for all the players.
11.  Dan is right about Sally.

12.  I like how the Cayasa saved Sally & forced the guys to vote one of them.  GOOD JOB.
13.  Cirie had to looked at Shane's penis to find out why he is suffering since she is a nurse.
14.  At the final council - I would had told Courtney whom does she think she is God - this is a game & not a life experience.  But, I guess I wouldn't had won.
                                                    4-23-2014 UPDATE

                                                      THE FINAL TWO
                                                STEPHANIE vs. DANNIE

                                                            SUMMARY
1.  Nakum won the best campsite by arriving first to campsite.
2.  Bobby Jon is the same - doesn't allow woman to speak.
3.  SWITCH -UP:  team were switch.  Margaret was upset with Judd forming a new alliance instead true to their old teams.  You don't what might happen or might not happen on their old tribe.
4.  First time merge happened at night.  Went to good camp.
5.  Stephanie rides her high horse by acting like she is special.  She need to be knock off her throne.
6.  SURVIVOR AUCTION:  Why didn't Lydia bid on anything -  then she gives all her money to Steph.
7.  FINAL FIVE:  Cindy, Steph, Danni, Rafe & Lydia.
8.  The Car Curse Offer:  Cindy will give up her & give the other 4 players a car.
9.  FIGHT:  Bobby Jon vs. Jamie;   Judd vs. Margaret
10.  Judd is rude & offensive.

11.  Steph is a bully & eats all the time & when she was yelling at Lydia about talking about her eating too much - she was eating.  I would had told Steph to go to hell-But, I will lost.
12.  On the challenges with Lydia was participating they didn't use  her wisely -on the spider challenge she should had gone FIRST where she would get the easy bags, on the wrap around- spin challenge she should gone LAST where she would had spin the least or been the helper.  Her tribe wasn't thinking or using her in the right matter & that why they kept losing.
13.  No Final Four Feast or Final Two feast.  Poor Step. She did EAT LOT & bully poor Lydia.
14.  Remember this game for $$$$.  You can't play honesty like some players are doing - it is a    Like Rafe, Judd, Brandon couldn't do.
15.  I would had told Steph off.
16.  Steph will get her dues in Villains vs. Heroes by James.  I did not like Steph in this season.  She thought they she should won.  She was too pious.
                                                    4-23-2014  UPDATED
17.  Again, Steph is very offensive to her team mates.  She told them not to talk about her eating while she was eating.
18.  Rafe is too nice  - at the last challenge he released Danni from his pledge to take him to the final two. (stupid).
                                                      7-27-2014 UPDATE
19.  During an "Early Show" interview it was revealed that Steph got them lost during hike through the jungle & she was sick.  It was never show for us - the producers want us think she is a perfect person.
                                                   10-3-2014  UPDATE SUMMARY
20.  Steph is not a team player.  She think only athletic should play - then the show wouldn't have non athletic players.
21. The  players were so star- struck with Steph that they never got over it & form any alliance with anyone else. It was different with the ALL-STARS season - they were so star- stuck and were able to get rid of the winners.
22.  Refe thinks everyone thinks like he does for example in the final challenge when he release Dannie from his pledge to him to the final two.
23.  Judd is a BULLY!  He can't see beyond his own anger.
                                                         UPDATE SUMMARY
24.  It was reveal by voted off player that Steph got them lost during the hike through the jungles.  The TV producer didn't want us to know that - they are trying portrait Steph as the good girl but she isn't.
                                                           UPDATE SUMMARY
'25.  If Steph wanted a winning tribe - then she should complete on a reality show when ANYBODY can compete - then she apply herself to REAL SPORT team when people like her will compete.  Until then SHUT UP & play!.  Plus, she has no goals - she put Lynda on the LONG items instead make her compete first & get the closest item & make the your best player go for the long items.


REUNION:  L.A. rode in a helicopter & landed on the top of CBS building. Nothing special.

FAMOUS:
No one.

29.  Too much camera time for Steph.
30.  Caryn has no strategy thinking.  She thinks Tom will take her to the end.  She doesn't have any strategic..
                                                7-25-2014 UPDATED
31.  Tom & Ian thought they had it made at the end  BUT they left the 3 women alone during the car reward challenge.  The only thing that saved them was CARYN.  Caryn could not stick with the women.  That was the chance to omitted Rom before he goes on a winning streak.
                                                 9-30-2014  UPDATED SUMMARY
32.  Steph thinks only athletic should play & doesn't know how to lose gracefully.
33.  Tom forget everyone want to win the money.

REUNION:  Jeff didn't do anything great.  He just walked into the stage.  No hoop-la.  I like that.

MY FAVOR PLAYERS:
Angie
Coby
Ian - his problem is he can NOT LIE!  He wants everyone to like him.

NOT MY FAVOR PLAYERS:
Steph - thinks she should win.
Tom  - too bossy at the end & thinks the game is his.
Caryn - has no strategist or game plans.

FAMOUS:
1. No one
2.  Jenn dies of breast cancer.  She'll be missed.

                                                            STRATEGIST PLAYER
1.  Tom is another good player.  He never took his eyes off winning the game &  challenges.  He did things to win the game.  At the end he became a bully.
2.  Stephanie need to know how to work with players.    This is not a sporting event where the players are picked for the sports which you played.  This is a game which the players can be at ANY level good or bad.  She need to get over herself.

                                              UPDATED

SEASON #9 - VANUATU (EFATE, SHEFA PROVINCE) - CHRIS

                                                               FINAL TWO
                                            Twila    vs. Chris

                                                               SUMMARY
1.  Both tribes were divided by the natives by sex and to hike at night to their campsite.  Each tribe had at least one member that wanted to rest until day light to find camp.
2.  Chad reveal to his tribe that he had a prostate for his leg which his tribe forget about because he was so good.
3.  Division in both tribes by age.
4.  TRIBE SWITCH-UP:  stop the separating of the sexes.
5.  MOTHER NATURE:   an earthquake and volcano.

6.  I didn't like how they got onTwila for swearing on her son's name & not Chris.  He also sweared on his family names. But he was good at lying and convincing his side.
7.  Why the GIRL ALLIANCE  didn't work:  they allowed the men to trick them in other words - Chris and didn't true to each other.
8.  Why do youth want to play & elders want to work all the time.  They need to get together & know how to work & play together.  It happens all seasons.
9.  Again, most of the players forgot they were playing a game & formed friendship and forgot how to vote people off without getting emotional about it.  People played with their hearts.
10.  Eliza was too strategic that she thought ALL THE TIME.  She forgot not to talk her plans in front of John.  She talk too much.
11.  Twila never double check that Julie might had lied to her about Sarg.
12..  Chris knew what he came for & how to get win.  He knew how to CHARM everyone by lying w/o letting them he was lying.
13..  All of the young females were there to make friends instead of playing the game.  They should have got ridden of Ami.
14.  The females acted so high & pious when Twalia lie on her son's name.  Chris did the same thing, too & no one got on him.
15.  THE PROBLEM WITH THIS SEASON:  the women started to like everyone & trusted each other & not think about the game.  Which made it hard to vote someone off except for a few.
16.  Ami thought she was right & everyone should listen to her. - she was so pious.
17.  Eliza can't get over the lies between Twila & her.  She need some growing up to do.
18. I disagree with Jeff P. about having the vote done later & they vote on some players that no one like.  That's the game. 
19.  Twaila doesn't have guts - she too scare to make a move when she had the power to do so. She could have gotten rid of Ami but was scare off.  She should had trusted the guys but Julie lied to her - she should had know that.  She wasn't a good player.
                                    4-13-2014 UPDATED
20.  Eliza again, thinks she is like by everyone & she doesn't talk too much.  Especially when John come to their camp she  keeps talking & reveal the girl's secrets right in front of him.  (not thinking)
                                     7-25-2014  UPDATED
21.  The players need to think this is a game instead of thinking of this as a friendship.  Only one thinking strategist is Chris.
                                       9-28-2014  UPDATED SUMMARY
22.  It broke another stereotype of BLACK PEOPLE CAN 'T SWIM Rory dove down during that one challenge.
                                        9-29-2014  UPDATED SUMMARY
23.  Many of the female players DID NOT come to play.  They wanted to make friends instead of playing.
                                         3-5-2015  UPDATED SUMMARY
24.  I would had form an alliance to rid of Ami & her friends.  She took control of her tribe.  DON'T TRUST too much.    It is OKAY  to lie!  I would get rid of Elisa.

MY FAVOR PLAYERS:
Twila
Scout

NOT MY FAVOR PLAYERS;
Eliza
Rory
Ami

FAMOUS:
None
                                                          STRATEGIST PLAYER
1.  Chris is a player.  He made people trusts him when he was lying to them.  He was good at it.  You do not hate him.  So far he is the better player.

1.  NEW TWIST:  Players do not take back their torches until they make fire.
2.  Rudy & Sue drank the well water w/o boiling it first.
3.  Richard bit a shark & the shark bit back.

4.  Rupert built a TERRIBLE shelter during the challenge  .What was he thinking
5.  During a challenge when Richard was naked Sue could avoid him but instead she wanted to confront him. Sue started the whole issue.
6.  Lex started the nasty playing before Amber came over.  He knew what he was getting into.  He did the same thing to Colby & Ethan.  He didn't like it done to him.
7.  NEW TWIST:  tribes was switched up.  Only player  not to switch was Amber.
8.  FINAL 5: Rob & Amber, Tom, Rupert,and  Jenna.  The 3 of them should had form an alliance and vote one of the love bird off but they didn't.  They believe anything Rob told them.
9.  FIGHT:  Rupert & Big Tom started by Rob M.

10.  Rob C. started playing his same old strategy BUT he forgot this is ALL- STARS & players know his strategy & you should  adopt new policy  & change according to the players which he didn't.
11.  ShiiAnn was given a car by Amber at the reunion.
12.  The reunion got heated - players forgot they were playing a game & took it too serious.
13.  Jerri is an actor & she need to get used to boos.  She wont make it as an actress.
14.  During the out takes Rob C.  thinks he is great & criticized everyone. He wanted to be one of the boys on his tribe  BUT they didn't like him.  He didn't fit in the group.
15.  Cathy AGAIN, doesn't know how to make the BIG move out.  She hesitated and let other do it for her.  She should had vote Rob M or Amber out when she had the chance but didn't.- claim their her friends & can't do it.  No body friends i the game.
16.  So far Ghandia of Thailand & Sue of this season have caused sexual issues which could cause some problems.
                                      7-11-2014  UPDATE SUMMARY
17.  When it was time to vote off Colby or Richard  Kathy was again the deciding vote & she couldn't do it.  She was afraid of Lex.
18.  Rob C. is not the good thinker  as those whom think he is 'cause if he was he would how  to fit into a new group instead of playing the same tune.
                                       9-28-2014  UPDATED SUMMARY
19.  Why didn't Rupert Tom or Jenn L. tried to change things - they believe Rob too much.  He was too much involved with Amber & was going to take her to the final two.  That leaves them in 5th, 4th, & 3rd place.
20.  Lex & Kathie AGAIN believe in their FRIENDSHIP with Rob & trust him instead of playing the game.  Lex should had know - he did the same thing in his tribe.
21.  Rob C.  should had his game plan wouldn't work - he know you study WHOM you are playing with FIRST then work with that.



 NEW TWIST:  PLAYER OF THE SEASON:  Rupert

                                      

MY FAVOR PLAYERS:
1.  Alicia - even though no game plan
2.  Rudy

NOT MY FAVOR PLAYERS:
1.  Amber
2.  Kathy - still has no guts in voting off whom should help her win.
3.  Jerri

STRATEGIST PLAYERS:
1.  Boston Rob - he not letting friendship get in  the way he plays WHILE THE the other players e.g. Kathy & Lex are letting friendship get in the way.
2.  Lex is still letting the people  vote off ahead of time which give them time to strategist.
3.  Rob C. still has no the same old game plan which doesn't work this time.  He thinks he is funny.  He doesn't know how to adjust to different people and change his style.  The same old immature ways doesn't work with anyone.  He has some mature people on his tribe this time.

FUTURE OF PLAYERS;
1.  Colby - host of Reality Show.  Top Shot.  As of 2015 no longer on.
2.  Ethan & Jenna M contestant in THE AMAZING RACE.    didn't finish.  Now, they have broken up.  They were terrible on the show.
3.  As of 4-9-2014 I think I saw Lex in TV commercial for cookies.  It didn't show his face but a guy with tattoo playing the drums as father but with daughter.
                                                    

SEASON #7 - PEARL ISLANDS, PANAMA CENTRAL AMERICA, - SANDRA

This is a great season & had a theme to the season.  All players were good whether you liked them  even Johnny Fairplay. I still love this season.  There are few players that do not play the game until the last minute.

JURY:  Andrew, Ryan, Rupert, Christina, Tj ,Burton, Darrah, Jon,

                                                FINAL TWO
                                    Sandra vs. Lillian

                                                     SUMMARY
1.  DRAKE was very good thank to Sandra speaking the language at the town getting supplies.
2.  Shawn lost the spear head - they didn't know to fish.
3.  NEW TWIST:  the first 7 vote off got a chance to come back into the game - Lil & Burton.
4.  Lil thought her tribe was lazy 'cause didn't get up with the sun.  She could had waited for them.
5.   MORGAN kept getting flooded out.
6.  Why did Osten go after the puzzle hidden in the water instead of the one on the beach since he can't swim.

7.  Rupert pet snake died.
8.  Andrew befriended a pelican named Pelican Pete.
9.  THE GREAT LIE:  Jon's grandmother died.
10.  Osten's torch IS NOT part of the final tribute which in future seasons those that quit are.
11. Lil wore the individual idol during the final questions by juries which it should had been take  away.
12.  The final tribute finally the castaways (we can hear) spoke how the felt, which I liked to hear.

                                    4-10-2014  UPDATE SUMMARY
17.  I still do not understand how Lil doesn't know why she is voted off her tribe - she supposed to be a troop leader & as troop leader you are supposed to be a great leader or part of a group & Lil act liked she is not part of the group.
18.  Rupert still doesn't work well with his alliance.
                                 7-10-2014  UPDATE SUMMARY
19.  During the Reunion Show Jeff's comment on Lil wearing her scout uniform was unfair judging by her tribe mates - I disagree with him.  She choose to wear the uniform  so that met how she was going to play the game.

MY FAVOR PLAYERS:
Rupert
Christa
Sandra

NOT MY FAVOR PLAYERS:
Jon
Lillian - she cries all the time.  It made sick,

FUTURE:
1.  Sandra will play again in future season.

                                                   STRATEGIST PLAYER SO FAR
1.  Brian from Thailand so far is the better player.  He never told his teammates a lie just enough information to let them feel he is telling the truth.
2.  Sandra comes close - no one pay her attention to vote her off.

                                

SEASON #6 THE AMAZON (NORTHERN BRAZIL) RIO NEGRO, AMAZON. - JENNA

This is the MOST SEXIST season ever.  (even from  the camera view)  getting close-up of Jenna & Heidi's bloops.   I am sick of the young guys sexist talks.  Rob thinks he is funny but he's  not.

PLAYERS (16)
1.  JEANNE - Market Director not much of player. 
2.  HEIDI - Gym Teacher from Missouri.  Thinks she is sexy but I wouldn't want her teaching my children.  I didn't like her.
3.  JOANNA- Guidance Counselor. (black). Was always singing. Didn't get along with others. Very religious.
4.  JENNA - Swimsuit model. THE WINNER.  very  immature.
5.  CHRISTY - Child Advocate Guide from CO.  Also, was deaf. Trying to get along instead playing the game.
6.  DEANA -  Attorney. from Riverside, CA.  She made a mistake by teaming up with the younger & beautiful girls. When they merge with the guys they will ignore her.
7.  JANET - Homemaker.
8.  SHAWNA - Retail Sales.
9.  RODGER - VP. of Construction Comp.
10.  ALEX -  Triathlon Coach from Los Angles, CA.
11.  ROB - Computer Project from NY He was a good strategist BUT he talked TOO MUCH & was immature.  Need to grow up a bit.  Mistake he made was telling everyone his plans.
12.  BUTCH - Principal from ILL.
13.  DANIEL - Tax Accountant He was much of a player.
14.  DAVE - Rocket Scientist. 
15.  RYAN - Model
16.  MATTHEW - Restaurant Designer from DC.

ARRIVED:  By medium size boat the was divided int the tribes by sex. MEN vs. WOMEN.
TRIBES:  Yellow - JABURU
             Blue - TAMBAQUI  (Male)
             Red - Merge - JACARE
MEDICAL NEED OR OUT:  Alex, Butch, Heidi -bit by spider.
CAR:  Matt
NUDITY:  Jenna & Heidi
COUPLE:  Alex & Shawna  Heidi & Dave
BEST PLAYER:  Rob -he knew how to stratize but couldn't keep his plans to work.
WORST PLAYERS:  all older women.

ELIMINATED:  Ryan, Janet, Daniel, Joanna, Jeanne -her tribe thought  she bought candy with her, Shawna, Rodger -he was too bossy.
JURY:  Dave, Deana, Alex, Christy, Heidi, Butch,,Rob.

                                                         FINAL TWO
                                             Jenna & Matthew

                                                         SUMMARY
1.  Christy is deaf but Jenna was not nice to her.  She was too busy trying to get them to like instead of playing her own game.
2.  The Men built their shelter while the woman argued.
3.  The younger guys talked nothing but sex.
4.  The girl women the first immunity challenge from coming from behind.  The guys were winning but lost it at the balance beam.
5.  Matthew & Daniel spoke Mandolin.
6.  SWITCH -UP:   The 2 younger player got to picked the tribes Jenn & Dave.
7.  Deana under estimate the friendship between Alex & Shawna.  She think that they still going GIRL POWER but they wanted the guy.  She never realize that the younger woman would team up with the guys & their friendship. 
8.  SURVIVOR AUCTION:  Christy kept getting out bid & Jenna "fake" cry for her letter from home and Christy fell for it.  Then when she won she laughed about it.
9.  QUESTION CHALLENGE:  I thought it was geared toward the guys (a bit on the sexist).  It might for the singles players.  If I was Christy I wouldn't answered some of them.
10.  Christy thought she had the power when she couldn't make her mind.
11.  MOTHER NATURE:  the fire at camp.  Jenna shouldn't had brought anything non-replaceable.
12.  The immunity idol (in my opinion) was racist.
13.  I notice a green balloon in the girl's camp while they were building their camp.
14.  During car challenge the players did not stick with same color for the challenge.
15.  Rob might be a good strategy player on paper but his biggest mistake is he talk too much & has some growing to do.
16.  Daniel let Roger get to him.
17.  If I was playing - I would had told Jenna & Heidi off.  ( Guess why I am not a player.)
18.  I am surprised of Heidi comment about Christy being deaf & not understanding it.  Heidi being school teacher should be MORE understanding  about difference - what if a student comes to her being difference - is she going ignore her or tell her to get lost.
19.  The tribute to Fallen Players was cheesy.  I guess they used up too much time & tried to squeeze it in.  I wish there was more.
                                                 9-25-2014  UPDATED SUMMARY
20.  Christy was too busy trying to fit in - she should had just played her own game instead of getting Jenna to like her.  Plus she didn't joined a side when she had the chance.  She thought in had the powder BUT you have TELL your alliance you are with them to have the power which she did not do.

MY FAVORS:
Christy
Butch

NOT MY FAVORITE PLAYERS:
Heidi
Jeanna
Rodger
Rob C.

FUTURE OF SOME PLAYERS:
Rob C. played in All-Star Season  Now, I read he is parent.  Baby just born  in Oct.2013.

                                                  COMPARING STRATEGIST PLAYERS
1.  Rich  so far is good player.
2.  Brian of Thailand is very good.  He doesn't let other think he hate them or lie to them.
3.  Rob C. let other know he lies to them & he is betraying them which is his biggest mistake.  I still do not know how you can say Rob C. is the best  player when he get too friendly with his layers.  That' the difference between him & Brian from Thailand.  No one in this season is playing the game.
4.  Deana came close to using strategy BUT got messed up by not thinking the young girls will be influenced by the young guys.
 

SEASON #5 - THAILAND KO TARUTAO, SATUN PROVINCE

This season I thought many players just coasted into the final or didn't play or think at all.  They TRUSTED their alliances instead of rejoining other alliances.  Also, glad to see Jeff P. host the reunion show.  He knows the players & know what questions to asked.  Alos, Helen TRUSTED Brian too much & should had taken conreol of the game.

PLAYERS (16)
1.  SHIIANN - Job placer from New York  She should learn she is the minority & teach her tribe her culture so they would understand her.  She was quick to judge other & give her opinion.
2.  ERIN -  Real Estate Agent from Texas. Was very quit.
3.  HELEN - Navy  swim Instructor.  Made some bad choices.  She trusted Brian too much which she shouldn't.  She should have join Ted to vote Clay off.
4.  STEPHANIE - Firefighter from Ark. She kept worrying about food instead of shelter.  They could divide the tribes in half & do both.
5.  TANYA - Social Worker. from Tenn.
6.  JAN - Teacher & one of the oldest player.
7.  GHANDIA - Legal Secretary from Denver. (Black). cause an conflict with Ted.
8.  PENNY - Sale Rep. from Plato, Texas.  Very Manipulated.
9.  JED - Dentist Student
10.  BRIAN - Use Car Sale Person. THE WINNER.  He came to play & never took his eyes off the game.
11.  ROBB- Bartender - from Scottsdale, AZ.  He was immature but left as a man.
12.  CLAY - from Monroe, LA I think he was a little bigot.
13.  JOHN - Pastor from LA.
14.  JAKE - Real Estate Broker from Texas.  Didn't realize Clay was lying to him.
15.  KEN - NYC Police.
16.  TED - Software Developer. from NC.  (Black)  He was accused of sexual attacking Ghandia which I don't believe it happened.  Also, trusted his alliance too much & didn't realize they were lying to him

ELIMINATED:  John, Tanya, Jed, Ghandia (for blaming Ted of attacking her), Steph, Robb, ShiiAnn.
JURY:  Erin, Ken, Penny, Jake, Ted, Helen, Jan.

                                                                       SUMMARY
1.  Jan picked mostly older & over weight players for her tribe.  Jake picked youth & fit players.
2.  Helen celebrated her 20 anniversary.
3.  THIS SEASON FIGHT:  Ghandia & Ted.
4.  Cuay Ghan lost their boat & had to swim 3 miles to their water.
5.  Opportunity to switch tribes if players want to but no one did.
6.  SURPRISE:  Both tribes live on the same beach but remind 2 tribes but ShiiAnn thought they merge.
7.  Clay won 1st individual immunity.
8.  Brian is afraid of the elephant ride.
9. FINAL 5:  Brian, Clay, Helen, Jan,and Ted.  Time to make the BIG MOVE but no-one does.
10.  HOW DID JAN HAVE BUBBLE GUM - SHE BLEW A BUBBLE WHEN SHE & HELEN WENT TO GET THE WATER?  WAS THAT HER PERSONAL ITEM.?
11.  Why is Helen too trusting of Brian - she doesn't get it that one should sit next a bad or hateful person at the final two instead of two like able people.  She doesn't see how the jury will vote.  She should got rid of Brian or Clay sooner. If Helen has gotten rid of Clay - she might be the winner.
12. Now for Ted:  he was too trusting of his alliance - trusting Brian & Helen
13.  Why did Robb bring as his personal item a skateboard to sand. How stupid!
14.  Jake picking youth is okay but hard to mange.  They are still too immature & do not like to be lead.  See Season 4 - Rob M & Sean.
15.  I do not like final tributes to previous players when we can not hear how they feel
16.  Brian never lost focus on why he was there to win the game & not let his emotions real.  Yes, he lied.
17. I still can not see how they fade into LIVE reunion show.
18.  I like when Jeff host the reunion show.
19.  Jan rode the coattail & never made a move.
20.  Ted & Helen trusted Brian too much - they never played the game.
21.  During the family challenge - Jeff kept yelling at them to hurry up - if I was family member I would yell  BACK at him to eat it himself  & see how he likes them.
22.  Helen could never make the big play - she trusted Brian too much.  She thought the final two players should be the one whom WORK the most and nothing else.  She couldn't think of any other plans. or strategy.
                            FINAL TWO

              Brain vs. Clay

PAYER OR PLAY OF THE SEASON:
1.  Brian NEVER forgot or took his mind off the game.
2.  Helen should had take Clay out earlier - she thought the way to win is to be the BEST WORKER OR HARD worker instead being strategic in the game.  Should had work with Ted when he asked her but she didn't.  She had too much trust in Brian when earlier they saw that he was rich.  No guts.  Helen would had the numbers & could take control but she let Brian take the lead.
3.  Jan, again, like Helen wouldn't take the lead when they had the chance  to do so. 
4.  To be able to win the game:  must think of the players as your opponents & not family or friends.  Take the chance to make the big move when it comes up.  Take will come true in next season when Rob C. will use it except for he talks too much & still made friends when he shouldn't.  That was his biggest mistake.
5.  Ted trusted Brian too much.  He try to get Helen to go with him but she wouldn't.
6.  Jake mistake was:  his tribe was too youthful & not ready to take orders.  Also, in the beginning he was wrong - he need BOTH food & shelter.  He should had divide the work between building the shelter & getting food.  Then he wouldn't had the conflict in his tribe.
                                                    9-22-2014 UPDATED SUMMARY
7.  On the The Early Show I feel Julie Chen does not ask questions that fans want to know.
8.  Helen TRUSTED Brian too much.  This is game where people LIED.  She should had known better that he was manipulated her.
9.  On the Sock Jai tribe was not thinking like a tribe .  They should some players gathering food, some water & some building shelter. Jake didn't lead his tribe.
10.  I think Clay did say some racist comment when he prejudge Ghadia.
11.  A lot of players came on the game to make friends.  They didn't have many strategic.
                                                2-26-2015  UPDATED SUMMARY
12.  From the Outtakes (pre-interviews) Jake said of himself he would persuade people - not true, Shi-Ann said there would some romance - not true Also, that she will do what everyone  want to do - not true, Penny said of herself she is very naïve & believe everything people say - true, Clay thinks people wants him to cook - not true, John thinks he is going to be tricky - not true.

LIKES:
ShiiAnn
Ted
Ken

DISLIKES:
Brian
Ghandia
Robb


FUTURE OF SOME PLAYERS:
No one
Only Shii Ann went on All Stars.

COMPARISON OF STRATEGIST PLAYER:
1.  Brian is a very good player.  He doesn't let anyone or anything change his thinking to win the game.
