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

This is an other great season where great  players.  The teams are divided into males & females by the natives.  Many of the players do not play again & think that they are making friends instead of thinking about who to eliminating.



PLAYERS (18)
1.  JULIE - youth monitor.  Jeff's girlfriend after the season.
2.  MIA - bookkeeper.  Very rude didn't like Twila.
3.  DOLLY - Sheep farmer.  Couldn't make up her mind.

6.  ELIZA - pre-law student.  Talk too much.  No game plans. Got on some of her tribe's nerves.
7.  SCOUT - rancher.  One of the oldest player.
8.  AMI - Coffee Barrister. I didn't like her. She wanted an all-women tribe & to win.
9.  CHAD - teacher.  handicap. Had 1 leg. But we forgot all about it.
10.  JOHN P. - sales mgr.  didn't last long. 
11.  RORY - HOUSING MGR. (BLACK) One of the interesting player. Could be explosive when he wanted to be but he was fun to watch.
12.  BROOK - copier worker.  First voted off.  not much of player.
13.  CHRIS - highway worker.  THE WINNER.  He was artful and good in getting people to believe him even when he was lying.
14.  TRAVIS - security officer,  Bubble.  He was very good player. Got caught by Ami trying to contact his old tribe.
15.  LEA - drill sergeant Serg..
16.  JOHN K. - bull operator.
17.  BRADY - FBI agent.
18.  LEANN- equity trader.

ARRIVED:  came by big boat, then went over board to natives' canoes to be take ashore.  Divided by sex by natives.  Had a native ceremony.
TRIBES:  Yellow - YASUR
                Red - LOPEVI
               Merge - Orange -ALINTA
MEDICAL NEED OR OUT:  none
CAR:  Eliza
NUDITY:  Julie, Sarge, and  Twila
COUPLES:  Julie & Jeff the host.
MOTHER NATURE:  earthquake, volcanoes & rain.

ELIMINATED:  Brook, Dolly (couldn't make-up her mind); John P, Mia, Brandy, Travis, Lisa, John K.,  Rory.
JURY:  Sarge, Chad, Le Ann, Ami..Julie, Scout.

                                                               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.

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

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.
13.  At the reunion Burton said they were NOT allowed to mingle with other or form couples then how does next season Rob & Amber get away with it. 
14.  Lil CRIES a lot.
15. Rupert needs to know how play instead of fishing all the time.  He has no strategist.
16.  Christa lets people influenced her.  She couldn't think her mind.  She was scare to voice her opinion.
                                    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

ARRIVED:  by small boats to the beach to be divided into tribes which the the 2 elders picked the the tribes- Jake & Jan.
TRIBES:  PURPLE- SOCK-JAI
               Orange - CHUY-GAHN
               Gold - MERGE - CHUAYJAI
MEDICAL NEED:   Robb step on sea urchin
CAR:  Ted
NUDITY:  Stephanie
COUPLES:  None
BEST PLAYER:  Brain - he never took his eyes off his game plan.
WORST PLAYER:  Jan, & Ghandia.

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.

SEASON #4 MARQUESAS NUKU ISLANDS, SOUTH PACIFIC - VECEPIA

This season was very interesting.  Introducing Boston Rob.  Many conversations especially race.  The first African-American to win.  I feel that Pascal & Nelah made some very racial comments.  It made me realize that many white DO NOT like to discuss the race issue.



PLAYERS (16)
1.  NELAH - Student from Utah.   ( acted like a princess)
2.  ROBERT - Limo Driver  from Queens, NY
3.  KATHY - Real Estate Agent from Burlington, VT Was so concerned about getting fire.
4.  TAMMY - Crime Reporter from AZ.
5.  GABRIEL - Bartender from NC.
6.  ZOE - Fishing Captain from Maine.
7.  PASQUEL - Judge from GA.
8.  JOHN - Nurse from NEB.
9.  HUNTER - Federal Express Pilot.
10.  SARAH - Acct. Mgr. from CA.  Was crazy about Rob M. but didn't win his heart.
11.  PETER - Bowling Alley Owner from MASS.
12.  VECEPIA - Office Mgr. from Portland, Oregon. THE WINNER.(Black)
13.  GINA - Nature Guide from FL.
14.  SEAN - Teacher from Harlem, NY.
15.  PATRICIA - Truck Assembler from SC
16.  ROB M. Construction Worker from Boston, Mass.  (in my opinion NOW he is the greatest reality star)

CAR:  Sean
NUDITY: John
COUPLES:  No-one
MEDICAL NEED OR OUT:  John -twice & Robert just minor injury Pasquel when he was out of the game.
ELIMINATED:  Peter, Patricia (just bossy), Hunter, Sarah, Gabriel, Gina, Rob M.
JURY:  John, Zoe, Robert, Sean, Kathy, Pasquel,Tammy,
BEST PLAYER:  Rob, Sean.
WORST PLAYER:  Pasquel, Naleh ,Kathy.

TRIBES:  Blue - ROTO
             Yellow - MARAAMU
           Pink - SOLITU - Merge

                                                                             SUMMARY
1.  Both tribes are give limited supplies.  No food.
2.  Sarah arrived like "Cleopatra" jumping into Rob M. 's arms.
3.  Kathy acted like the leader but didn't understand her tribes' needs or wants or habits.  Never realize they didn't like her.
4.  Patricia started to nag her tribes.
5.  John need someone to pee on his hand - he picked up  a sea urchin which Kathy did.

6.  SWITCH-UP TRIBES.
7.  Gabriel didn't want to form any alliances.  He just  want to have fun.
8.  At the Merge Celebration Meeting - Kathy is so quibble.  She believe everything Rob M tells her.  She thins people are wrong for voting her off just like Lex in Season 3.
9.  Sean couldn't ride a horse.
10.  When Nelah return from her reward challenge she talked ALL ABOUT HER FOOD.
11.  Pasquel is full of himself by playing "honest" card when he & Nelah was not going to vote for each other but he blame Sean for doing it with Vecepia.
12.  Kathy has no one to blame but herself - she knew about Paquel & Nelah 's alliance.  She mentioned in her interview.  She should went with V & Sean.  They never had a real  alliance like Nelah & Pasquel & Nelah.  They SAID they would never vote for each other. For Pasquel to said what he said that V & Sean shouldn't have alliance BUT he can is stupid.
13. I feel (my opinion) that Pasquel showed some racist opinions in his comments that they think they are owed something.  I glad that Greg of the ' EARLY SHOW" saw it ,too.
14.  Kathy over "think" herself out of winning.  She didn't take any down time to relax & have fun.  Also, she believe in Rob M. too much.
15.  Kathy's laugh sound phony not real..
                                                                4-2-2014  UPDATED
16.  Kathy need to chill-out in the beginning worrying about the fire.
17.  The Maraamu was worried too much about being the Alpha Men especially Sean & Rob.  While Hunter was too busy spending his time on survivor.
18.  Roto had too long before playing the game.  They did not have to vote anyone off so they became friends.
19.  Kathy knew way early about Nelah & Pasquel - not at the end & should had done something about it earlier which she could had by teaming up with the General.  Why didn't she?    Why did she trust Boston Rob when people ward her about him.  Kathy deserve to lose.
20.  Remember this is game - not life.  Pasquel want them to share their answer.  I court you don't share  what you know until the case is heard.  Why do it in this game.
                                                    6-28-2014  UPDATED
21.  Still think Nelah & Pasquel are playing the game.
22.  Kathy did know about how close Nelah & Pasquel are & she has no one to blame but herself for not making the hard choices.  Kathy WAITED too late to do anything.  All she would get it 3rd place.

PLAYER OR PLAY:
Rob M. for learning the game but unfortunately he didn't win.
