Ah, that explains it. Your nonsensical post must be a product of the Anti Christ!

Again, Ozzy admitted he is washed up physically now compared to when he was younger due to injuries. So S16 Ozzy = McDonalds Ozzy? S13 Ozzy = Applebees Ozzy? S10 Ozzy = Filet Mignon Ozzy.

Ozzy peaked in late 04, too bad he wasn't on Palau.

I singled them out because of the editing. I could of mentioned anyone, but with the exception of Cirie(Who I've always respected as a stratagist and seems like a generally nice person-I just never bought into into the ZOMG shes utterly amazing and could beat all the winners blindfolded), every one of their popularity spikes can be attributed to that ridiculous HII or overemphazation of challenges. Terry is included on that list, just didn't mention it, no need to read further into...

They were all big, very entertaining characters on their own. I wouldn't say coersion through editing had anything to do with it. So I too wonder why in the world you're singling them out. A much better example to make would be Terry, who was a total asshole but was sold as Mr. American Hero on the show.

We've definitely been oversold by some people like Stephenie or Rupert but I would not include Yau Man or Cirie either

I don't think any of us were "coerced" for liking castaways like Yau Man and Cirie

Re: Things we should be worrying about

feeds@yuku.com (Dr Will Hatch two point oh) — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 19:53:37 GMT

Oh, because they are all from more recent seasons. The more recent seasons emphasize the game and not the castaways themselves. I don't like manipulative editing of any kind, that is why I brought up Borneo examples.

I never liked Ozzy ever since he decided throwing challenges was a great idea...and I'd probably like James more if I could've understood him.

Me? Absolutly not, I hate f3 endings.

Another thing that concerns me is the intro. Theres no reason to play around with it, but they do it anyway. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE keep all 18 players in the intro throughout the series

actually, i like it better when they get rid of characters each intro (or maybe just cut it off after the merge like last time). I know that for...

I don't mind the idols as long as they don't just keep coming. I have a feeling that "OMG HE DIDN'T PLAY THE IDOL SO STOOPID ZOMG" is gonna get old.

A final 3-I hope that Burnett follows the general pattern of carrying over "twists" through consecutive seasons. Maybe he will assume that a f2 last season(even if it wasn't planned) and then right away going back to f3 will confuse casual viewers. I hope so, because it's a sad day indeed when a final 2 is considered a twist.

Emphazation of the HII-Personally, I hate the hidden immunity idol and wish it would be put away permenatly, but I can see why they keep it...
