Whatever happened to pre-ASS contestants?

Unless your name is Rupert Boneham. A few early Survivors still go to Dodgeball, but Survivor isn't their life anymore. Most of America has forgetten about them, and the majority are smart enough to realize that.

These things are no different than get togethers with friends, it's just that some people stalkers choose to take pics and have them get taken off their Facebook accounts and posted on Sucks.

I wouldn't travel the country for them, though, as many of these ex-Survivors do.

And didn't Ramona and Gervase do some events recently (dodgeball maybe)? Someone told me they met Vecepia at a recent event too. I'm glad they don't cling on to it and show up to every convention. Maybe once in a while to show that you still recognize the experience, but half the post-ASS contestants must not have jobs, or else they have really generous bosses who let them take time off every other month since they're always at these things. But I'll admit, if I were to go to one of these, I'd be much more interested in seeing the pre-ASS contestants for the most part. Don't quote me on this but I read a rumor that the heavy recruiting of recent seasons annoyed a lot of the pre-ASS players because they had to work hard and stand out against the thousands of applicants and a lot of the newer players get a much easier ride as far as getting on the show goes, and that's why they've kind of boycotted these sort of gatherings.

Even if it is true (and understandable), that does not necessarily justified the sense of entitlements in ASS. Also, I suspect that both approaches are SIGNIFICANTLY different. Just a vibe.

Older Survivor contestants will be more willing to go to these events if it's in their neighborhood. I know that Jake wasn't at the dodgeball event, so maybe he finally retired from those events. Ditto for Big Tom whom I haven't in neither Coco or Dodgeball. Not that I was overly dissapointed.... My bigger question is why do some of the biggest breakout stars of past seasons refuse to attend any of those event (Ozzy, Penner, Cirie, Amanda, Parvati, James etc.) I respect the fact that they probably just moved on with their lives, but at least one event after your season won't make you look like a Survivor whore.

So once numbers from say S4 start to dwindle they all tend to stop coming. Where people keep coming (Boron Boys, Vanuatu Girls) there is often a critical mass of friends. ASS bitterness might have soured some of the oldtimers. Pre-S8 some came to build alliances for ASS, and then afterwards there was no point. I notice Fairplay suddenly showed up at Cocoa Beach the summer before S16 and hung out with YM and healed relations enough with Eliza and Ami that they were willing to work with him in S16.

All her Raro buddies were there and some were encouraging her on Myspace to go. But I think she had a gig that summer promoting Playboy Energy Drink with her friend Lauren. Girl gotta earn some money. Lucky there were enough non-Cocoa Beach goers for her to form an majority alliance. Actually staying away from Fairplay was a good thing, because he was a waste of time for JAYE.

I think James went to Houston. Correct me on it.
