At the beginning of the most recent episode, during the PREVIOUSLY ON segment, Jeff says that out of respect for Russ S no one was voted off during tribal
council. But when Mike had to be removed by medical, Foa Foa still went to tribal and someone was voted off. What up with that?

Less people in the season, Foa Foa on its last legs, double eviction planned, too much rain, I think production gave them an early xmas gift on this one since
this was a first for me as well. Funny too because Probst clearly tells them 2 people are being voted out and by TC his tune has changed due to this phone
call:
MB: "Probst you botoxed MUPPET! You best fucking fix this thing NOW you dim bastard! Who told you that you're making decisions? BLOODY NOBODY!" Probst: "ok, nobody gets voted out then" -SJ™ |

Foa Foa had already lost the challenge, so they had to vote someone out as well as lose Mike.

I mean, this show has already been shot, they knew both these guys were gonna be taking out. You'd think they'd come up with something more sensible than one guy getting respect and the other guy getting bupkis. |

The real reason is prob a bloated jury and they couldn't boot 2, put one on the jury and keep one off.

Russell was totally a fan favorite and it benefitted them to give him more of a hero exit than, say, fat old junkie Mike who added nothing to the season.
All about the ratings and pleasing the mainstream audience (readL NOT us real fans). -SJ™ |

SJ: That's pretty shitty. I mean, I didn't like Mike at all, but he was just as deserving as Russell S (which is not deserving at all).
NickF: That's actually a realy good point, I hadn't even thought of that! |

The merge was to happen at 12, as it will next episode. If they had the double boot, it would've been at 11.

More importantly, the JURY was supposed to start at 12. If they had to select one jury member from the double boot based simply on which tribe cast the vote
later, the other guy's gonna be bloody pissed.

Was Mike the leader of his tribe? Did that tribe win 90% of the challenges so far? Did he single handedly take care of everything back at camp? |

Respect- they maybe had it for Russell... but that's not the reason why they didn't scrap those TC... It's sheer hypocricy. |

Yeah I can't say I believe anything they put out there Production wise. "Out of respect" means simply that they came upon an easier solution: run
2 more challenges, then merge.
Mike truly was worthless. I still can't figure how being from NY supposedly made him tough. What, his veins were tougher from all those years of shooting heroin? Please stop casting fat old guys like Mike and Papa Smurf, just a disgusting fucking waste and nobody wants to watch that shit. -SJ™ |

What exactly did he do as leader to make sure the tribe won? Shambo is now the leader and they won the last two challenges. You gonna tell me she's responsible for 100% of their wins? |

cottosive wrote:That choice didn't really affect their challenge performance, did it? And I honestly don't care if he acted like a prick to Dave, he still had way more to offer his tribe compared to Mike. Russ did plenty as a leader. He motivated everyone, united his tribe, always had a strategy for each challenge and he did this all while being respected. Why do you think the majority of his tribe felt awful about him going? He played a huge role in their success and took care of them back at camp. It's precisely why Foa Foa sucked so much, they had no direction and Mick just shirked his responsibility because he wanted to play as an individual. And re: Shambo and Galu's recent challenge wins, I'm not sure if you can give her credit because Foa Foa was pretty much decimated already & Galu had the momentum. She did as well as she could though. |
