Players slobbered all over getting the opportunity to do that, so they could make themselves look better. Yeah, you're a piece of shit player like Jenna Lewis or Shii Ann, but wow, you beat out Richard, Tina, Ethan and Jenna! OMG! Maybe you're good after all! Even when it wasn't in their best interest they were obsessed with that cough most of Mogo Mogo cough

The $1,000,000 argument means little,since a million hasn't been alot of money for quite awhile now.

If you have someone who is deemed more threatening because of a title, then you're going to go after them.

And let me tell you, there's no doubt in my mind that if a winner made it to the Finals to face the jury, they would win hands down.

I'm sure its a lot of money to Jenna! :P Oh I'm sorry, she's such a talented individual, I'm sure she'll be able to make that money easily through hard work. Selling self-made sex tapes for example.

They were allies in Africa, friends post-show, and Ethan never betrayed Lex. Yet Lex couldn't get over the fact that Kim J picked his "assistant coach" over him. Lex\Kathy\Tom were the pregame alliance of "deserving almost winners."

But in practice, that is usually outweighed by other factors. Twila and Dreamz were destroyed by the jury. Denise was denied a chance to face the jury. On Big Brother, Dr.Will and millionaire Boogie both won, while Cowboy lost BB5 and the single mom in BB9 was evicted right before jury. In ASS, JLew and Jerri had lots of reaons to want Tina out besides the fact she won a million dollars. Tima betrayed Jerr\Amber in S2 and took Colby away from them. But in ASS, JLew\Jerri won the fight for Rupert's loyalty. Players naturally want to beat the players who best them the first time. Hatch was booted first when the Borneo cast appeared on The Weakest Link. BB James sought revenge on Janelle who outlasted him and got all the glory. Parvati would not allow Ozzy to beat her a second time. Last Edited By: craig 06/24/08 10:28 AM. Edited 1 times.

I remember hearing (originally from Tina?) that Rupert replaced Mike Skupin. So it sounds to me like the Pearl Islands cast was not included in ASS due to being back2back, until they discovered what a ratings bomb rupert was so they pushed people aside to get him on. I think JFP would have taken Rob M's place anyway, which would have been horrible. Remember also tho that everyone said Shii Ann replaced Kelly G last minute to rep Thailand but then someone said that was false. who knows. But I never understood why Rupert didn't team with Ethan and Tina either, so there must have been something there. Oh wait Rupert's a dumb player.. nevermind.

Perfectly understandable,but that doesn't explain why some people would throw away their games just to vote out a previous winner,like Jerri for instance

They were never going to be allies and Tina was just an obstacle. Jerri would have been guaranteed F5 had she made the merge and Lex not been dumb. Yeah,people will use any excuse to scapegoat you coughstranded:all starscough. But some people still insist on Survivor being some kind of charity,it annoys me *GIGANTIC* eye roll here.

The Stranded comment or the charity comment?

Forget final 5, Jerri almost certainly would have been guaranteed F2, being such a huge goat. Of course she'd never win, but you'd have to be a moron of epic proportions to try and vote out people like Kathy and even Shii Ann over her. ...oh wait, we're talking about the Twatwaffle here. Maybe that wouldn't have happened after all.
