To honor the 20th seasons -Previous players are back - 2 tribes Good (Heroes) & the Bad (Villains) played against each other.  One of the best seasons.  On the island of Samoa. 

PLAYERS (20)
                                                       HEROES
1.  JT - Tocantins  willing to do anything to win again instead of helping his tribe.  Stupid thinking in giving away his idol.
2.  JAMES - China.  Got injury & couldn't help his tribe win.
3.  TOM - Paula.  No strategy except to pull Colby & Steph in but didn't have the numbers.
4.  COLBY - Australia.  not much of player.  Guess got old & not much strategy.  Didn't stand up for Amanda in getting the clue.  (stupid)
5.  CIRIE - Exile Island.  Her tribe was scare of her.
6.  RUPERT -  Pearl Island.  still no strategist. Was wrong in thinking about villains had girls alliance.

8.  AMANDA - China.  Still have guts.  Have a guilty mind when she has do wrong.
9.  SUGAR - Gabon.  Still crying.
10.  CANDACE - Cook Island.. Tries but always wrong.
                                       VILLAINS
11.  JERRI - Australia.  not much of thinker went along with majority but had no ideal of what going on.  Kept relaying on other to do the thinking.  Was blinded by Russell & trusted him.  Couldn't think outside the box.
12.  COACH (Ben) - Tocantins.  still trying to play warrior game but still lying.  I can't believe it he didn't think he didn't lied.  Also, was caught off guard by Sandra.  Thought you can play without lying.  He still doesn't do anything.  Wants to play the honest game THEN why is he on the villain tribe.
13.  ROB M. - Marquesas (Boston Rob).but will learn how to use the HI.  He has to get used playing with HI.  ( which he  will learn i a future season)

 FINAL THREE

Russell

Parvati

Sandra - the winner

PLAYER OF THE SEASON:  Rupert & Russell - the winner

IN MEMORY OF JENNA LYONS who passed away from breast cancer.

Russell still argue that he should win and the public should vote. The public will see only what the producers edited and it could be unfairly edited and not given a true version of what happens. LEAVE IT  ALONE.

SUMMARY

1.  Sugar chased Colby around at nite trying to sleep next to him.

2.  Rob got ill - tribe didn't want to built fire or shelter or get water.

3.  I am sick of people bringing MLK Jr. name into it.  Coach use his name. Coach lies just likes the other player but wont admit it.

4.  Randy threw his buff into the fire when he was voted off.  He still plays & hateful just like he was in the other season.

5.  Coach  started crying & wanted to quit when he felt Rob didn't like him.  Also, Sandra called him out at TC for not working.

6.  Amanda acted liked a love sick puppy in love with James when James was injury & he came back to the camp.

7.  JT gave Russell his HI without knowing what going on the other side.  (stupid)

8.  Sandra warn the Heroes about Russell but only Rupert believes her.

9.  Colby didn't stick up for his side when Amanda & Danielle fought over the HI.  Colby lost faith in the game.

10.  Sandra find the HI. and no one knew she find it.

11.  Danielle lose her cool at TC causing her to be voted off.
12.  IN MY OPINION: Russell's theory that the TV viewers should vote on the winner - I think WILL NOT WORK    
because we only see an edited or limited view of what happening on the island & not a true or 24 hours of what happened.  LEAVE IT ALONE  &let the viewer vote on players of the season only.
13.  Rob didn't know understand how the HI will be an advantage & Russell did.  They didn't have them in his seasons.  But, Rob will learn how to use them & get his revenge on Russell.
14.  WHY IS CANDACE ON THE HEROES TRIBE remember she commit betrayal on her season.
15.  The Heroes tribe isn't make good choices.
16.  If you used Coach's theory that ONLY strong or good athletic can win - then he is eliminated  ALL handicap or not strong or playing with other strategies, which is wrong since ALL is invited to play.
17.  Jerri rode the coat tail of her tribe.  She couldn't think.  Thought only about Coach & having a relationship with him.  She followed what ever was told to her & didn't make choices herself. 
18.  Coach has no game plans.  He is wish washy.
                                                     UPDATE 5-8-2014
19.  I feel putting players before the hidden idols against players played after hidden idols is good.
                                                     UPDATE  SUMMARY
20.  The heroes forgot this was a game that they were divided by good & bad and some people are just bad.
21.  I wish Steph, Coach & others think the game is only for the strong players.  If it was only for the strong then they wouldn't have been invited to play.

PLAYS OR PLAYERS OF THE GAME:
   Russell need to know how to WORK the jury, too.  He only play the game to survived but not to WIN. 

IN MEMORY OF JENNA LYONS whom passed away of breast cancer.  You will be missed. Season
10 - Palau.  I feel, it could had been a little more - too short.


MY FAVOR PLAYERS:
Rob I like him, now.  He has grown up & mature.
Saundra
Cirie
James

NOT MY FAVOR PLAYERS:
JT
Amanda - she doesn't have "kill" factor in her.
Jerri
Stephanie
Coach

STRATEGIC PLAYER:
1.  Sandra - she was very quiet & sneaky when she had to be.  Saw thru Russell very early.

FAMOUS
Colby had a his own reality show but as 2/2014 haven't heard anymore on it.  So far no new season of Top Shots.  It was a good show, following the pattern of Survivor.  I think his show was cancelled - it has been on the air & it is now Jan. 13, 2015.



SEASON #19 SAMOA UPOLU, SAMOA - NATALIE

This season is introducing Russell & how he controls everyone.  No one wants to make a move or vote him out.  No one has any strategy.  I do not watch this season very often 'cause of Russell, so this season is not updated as often as the other..

15.  ASHLEY - Spa Sales.

PLAYER OF THE SEASON

SUMMARY

1.  At the beginning each tribe had to pick a leader & for the first challenge had to pick players for the challenge.

2.  Russell destroy his tribe's camp & personal things.

3.  Russell H. found the hidden idols w/o the clues.

4.  EXILE ISLAND -winner goes to the lose camp & get clues to the HI.

5.  FIRST TIME:  pull a player out the challenge - Ben.

6.  Ben & Yasmin got into it.  Ben called her some racist names.

7.  Cops are too honest - most don't make it too far in the game.

8.  Shambo trust John & Brett by giving them clues to HI.

9.  Shambo let the chicken go & lost the head to the fishing tool.

10.  Russell H. is right (I hate to agree with him) these are stupid people - not playing the game & letting him in their stagiest.  They don't fight for themselves in TC.

11.  Natalie just agree with Russell H. with everything he says.

12.  Erik is blindsided with the idol & didn't play it.

13.  Shambo is so quiabble

.  No one wants to play with her.

14.  Russell thinks he is the only one playing the BUT he doesn't know or care to play the jury.
15.  Ben was kicked out of the challenge for the first time.
16.  Russell found HI w/o any clues.
17.  The two leaders of the tribes are Mick -whom doesn't lead or make any decisions & Russell whom does lead his tribe.
18.  Russell H. theory in winning the game is wrong -he just play to get the end of the game BUT doesn't play to win the game.  If the TV audience have a choice in the winner - then it is unfair 'cause the editors have say what is shown.
19.  Again, in the beginning the player swear the color of their the tribe

                           5-5-14       UPDATED
20.  Shambo is so gullible.  She think the other like her.  She even voted for Russell.

MY FAVOR PLAYERS:
1. Jaison
2.  Brett


NOT MY FAVOR PLAYERS:
1.  Yasmin
2.  Russell H.

SEASON #18 - TOCANTINS- BRAZIL JALAPAO, BRAZILIAN HIGHLANDS - JT

Introducing Coach, one of the most hatest player of the game.

PLAYERS (16)
1.  SPENCER - student 19 yrs.  Only teenager to play.  Too young to be much of a player.
2.  SYDNEY - student. believe Joe was the way for her.  Relay on her sexily..
3.  JOE - got injury & had to be medical out.  Thought he was a player but an injury got the best of him.
4.  CAROLINA - Bartender - talk too much.  First off.
5.  STEPHEN - Corp. Consultant.  Very good strategist BUT couldn't lie when he should.  At FINAL JURY he couldn't stand his ground he kept waffle.

7.  JT. - Cattle rancher.  THE WINNER. A like able guy.

10.  JERRY - Sgt. in army. (black) - got sick.
11.  SIERRA - model was sick in the beginning.  Also, was voted off but was helicopter to came.  Never got her strategy together.  Even at FINAL COUNCIL  her question were off & didn't make sense.
12.  COACH ( Ben) - Soccer coach. Was a jerk.  If you notice - Coach doesn't do anything but play with his hair & tells stories which ARE unbelievable.  He wanted to change the game by being honest BUT he forgot no one else plays the same way.

14.  ERINN - Hairstylist.

                                                  FINAL TWO
JT (The Winner)
Stephen
                                                 SUMMARY
1.  After getting off the truck - both tribes voted off (they thought) one member from their tribe instead they got to ride an helicopter to camp instead of the hike. In return they can either look for hidden idol or set up camp.  Sierra set up camp but Sandy looked for the idol.

2.  Brandon was voted first to Exile Island but this season he takes someone from the winning tribe - he took Taj & they formed alliance for the merge.
3.  Coach is very aggressive & egoist.  Why keep him - he isn't helping his tribe.  Get some guts & vote him off.  He doesn't play with any strategist..  He want to play with honesty BUT this game isn't for the honesty.
4.  Taj made a fake idol & Joe found it but never got a chance to play it.
5. SURVIVOR  AUCTION:  Taj won a visit from her husband.
6.  No one plan  to eliminate JT, willing to have him go the final.  (stupid)
7.  Sierra was too immature at the time & couldn't get any plan or strategist.  Too busy crying or begging up  Coach or Tyson.  She did figure out Coach was a phony but didn't know how what to do. Then at the FINAL COUNCIL  she praised Tyson.  She was so confusing.
8.  Coach did lied.  He lied when trying to get his tribe back together.
9.  They should had taken JT out but no one thought about it.
10.  Debbie was coat tail rider.  She hid behind Coach & when she was tired of him - no one believe her.
11.  Again, the players are dressed in their tribe's colors.
                                                   UPDATED
12.   Again, the players forgot they were playing a game instead they formed a friendship. e.g. Taj & Stephen.  They should had thought about trying to get rid of JT.
13.  Cierra forgot how to play - she kept begging up to Coach & Tyson.
14.  Coach was the FIRST to have feathers in his hair & not Philipp.
