Tonight: "Surviving Survivor"

CBS has a special called Surviving Survivor at 8 PM eastern time tonight. Ten of the most memorable castaways look back on their favorite moments.

Yes, I saw that. I'll be watching. I think that the most memorable scene for me was when Mike fell into the fire and burned his hands. That was AWFUL! Does anyone remember that?

Yup, sure do. That was in Australia, wasn't it?

I remember that. It was Mike Skupin (sp?) from season 2. He got maced in the face by some animal rights group after that because they were angry when he killed a wild boar on the show. Poor guy. :(

Oh my gosh! That's ridiculous!!


Wow, I'm so glad I popped on here tonight---I didn't know! Just in the nick of time too----thanks Rob!!


EDIT* Aw, just saw Rupert and his story on Rupert's Kids. What a neat guy he is. Gosh, he's looking buff these days!

LOL, yep Savannah! Time to join the Survivor ranks!

I loved the look back! I was eating supper when they were showing all the 'boo boo's' people had gotten during their stays and I have to admit I looked away a few times.

Great seeing Rupert again & it reminds me why he is one of my 'favorites.' Ethan's story was really touching. Hard as I try I can't remember the Survivor that had died from cancer that they dedicated the show to.

I can't wait for the season premier. Oh, it was also funny watching when they revealed the first winner: Richard Hatch. It was just all of them sitting around, dirty, on the island. Nothing like the hyped up reveal that they do now!

P.S. I also had to laugh when that one woman was discussing how the players could be 'romantic' when they were all dirty & stank!

Yes, Cirie really put it into perspective, didn't she? LOL!

Ugh, me too! I always watch all the gross stuff with my hands over my face, LOL!

It really IS disgusting! Gotta love Cirie! I thought her hairstyle is really flattering on her.


Oh, and have I mentioned.....COLBY!!


(although, I'm a little concerned about his comment about snuffing out Jeff's torch ).

Yes, it's very appropriate for you to do the bra twirling as you talk about Colby, Amy. LOL! Yeah, not sure where he was going with the torch comment.

LOL, somehow I just can't help myself!

I have to say, it never gets old listening to Boston Rob's accent. I just love it! He really cracks me up.

I didn't realize until last night that Elizabeth Hasselback had been on Survivor. I always knew she looked familiar but didn't know from what. I watched the first 2-3 seasons, and then just occasionally until this past season. Russell made it really interesting.

Yes Lori, Elisabeth was on Survivor Australia and has really made a name for herself. I've always appreciated that she's publicly stood up for her right wing views in an overwhelmingly left wing media. She does a fairly good job of articulating herself on the subject, but I know she's caught a lot of flack for it.

I'm thinking of all the Survivors, Elisabeth is probably the most successful as far as being in the spotlight, right? Actually, as far as most 'well-known', I'd say it's her and Richard Hatch, because of all his tax evasion problems. I mean, who doesn't know Richard Hatch, right? Speaking of that, I thought the segment with Richard and Russell was pretty funny---the height difference (I had no idea Russell was that short!), and when Russell said he was only upset because he couldn't play and beat Richard, and Richard reminding Russell that Russell did NOT win Survivor in the first place!

Oh, and what did you guys think of Russell's comment "I should be a hero. Millions of people all over the world think of me as a hero. But I'm a villain." Good grief, I have never seen anyone so full of themselves!!!

I know! Russell cracks me up. I've said it before.........Russell is a little Tasmanian Devil look-a-like. Especially when he is running. It should be a very interesting season. My favorite female has always been Stephanie, and I know that Marilyn can't stand him, but my favorite male is..............no secret..........Boston Rob. I know I'm in the minority, but there's something about his sense of humor that draws me in. He's devious, but he doesn't take himself too seriously.

Richard Hatch IS the best person to ever play the game and win, not Russell (especially since he lost). The reason why Richard is, is because he was the very first Survivor winner and he did not have any other Survivor seasons to fall back on. He paved the way for a lot of the strategies that are used in the game today.

And let's not forget about J. T. Youuuu hoooo, you handsome hunk of man...I'm over hheerreee! Wait...maybe you can see me better now... After all that, please let him see me now! That boy sure is pretty...and easy on the eyes!

I agree. J.T. is a little hottie!

After a lot of research, I'm predicting that the two best players on Survivor will be Sugar and Parvati.

So far I am rooting for Steph, J. T., & Rupert!

And I'm sure that Parvati takes first place with you, Rob. LOL!

Okay, I'll be rooting for Stephanie, J.T. and........................Boston Rob. Stephanie really was AMAZING when she played in the past. She's a "She-Man," but still very "girly."

I am rooting for Rupert because I have him in the Survivor pool I always perticipate in. Plus he is such a great guy. If he does not win, I am also rooting for my all time fave Cirie!

This Thursday is the premier, isn't it? Survivors, are you gearing up??

Ready!!!
