Pretty sad for Shane to fail a physical that both Will and Dan managed to pass. (I'm not exactly buying this.)
Cochran at least had the reasoning that he didn't want it to go to rocks and him potentially be eliminated. iirc Kass was pretty safe and should have been somewhere in the middle of that alliance. Kass even owned up to the whole "Chaos Kass" persona so that seems hard to shake off and start fresh.
Shane smokes.
This is apparently also why Terry's wife didn't do BvW despite being the most obvious castmember ever for the gimmick.

Well I hope I they are better prepared this time around. I don't particularly approve of subjecting people to those types of conditions without giving them means to protect themselves. When it's supposedly that bad then I think precautions should be made.
Unrelated, I wonder who lucky #11 was on the men's side. They sure squeeked by.

He was three packs a day all the way up to the day before Panama, and it didn't seem to hurt him, then.
I'd think there would have at least been a preliminary physical before the ballot was revealed to prevent a situation from occurring.
I think it's more likely that Shane just missed. Maybe he was a close 12th (since we know Mike was in the top 10), and hurt by how long ago the season was and that some of the casuals considered him a jerk or something. Who knows.
I'd say Boston Powers and Twila's son would have been more obvious, but Terry's wife would have been good, too.
Tyson a biiiiit late to the party there.
Crap. I put Shirin and Andrew on the same tribe. That's not going to happen, lol. (They both work at Yahoo HQ.)

Peih-Gee and Monica probably had a nice cross-section of the hardcore vote and the voters who were looking at people based on attractiveness.

Yeah, that probably wasn't a smart thing to let slip, lol.
Are Tyson and Rob happy with the s31 cast? Can't listen right now.

Bummed about Shane and T-Bird, but mostly seem to be happy with the cast. Rob also seemed a little surprised that Carolyn didn't make it.
Sabrina, Mikayla, Stephanie, and Natalie all had no chance. It was basically PG, Monica, Carolyn, and T-Bird fighting over those last two spots. I'm amazed that Carolyn didn't make it back on considering she had a pretty strong edit ever since the vote went live. I'm guessing being a part of the Axis of Evil must have hurt her more than I thought it would. Monica framed her campaign around "I pissed of Russell" which must have impressed the hardcore.
He really didn't get how much that 6-person alliance was despised, huh?

Carolyn probably suffered by being on the wrong side of the incredibly one-sided edit this season. I wasn't really a huge fan of hers but I did feel a bit bad for her after tonight.
My guess would be Savage. He's not particularly memorable besides getting screwed by a twist and being on the Fairplay season. Though not a Brad or Troyzan that people definitely didn't want to see again.

I'm actually a bit surprised Carolyn didn't make it. She had a great edit while the poll was up. Either casuals disliked/were ambivalent to her like most of the online crowd, or the hardcores pushed in Kelley and Monica over her.
With the "did you cancel each other out?" comment, it definitely might have been one of him or Terry.

Well, if it was him I'm glad. He got a raw deal on his season. (He's easy on the eyes too.)
She looked devastated. Rough night for her.

Yes, this is the real take away. I'm so glad we were able to keep them both off the season. I imagine Troyzan is already concocting a conspiracy theory in which production and Kim secretly strategized to screw his voters over during times where they weren't supposed to being talking. Or something.

Considering the way Jeff phrased it, I thought Terry had more votes, but I could be overthinking it. I think Savage should be real thankful Mike won tonight.

Finished in 2nd place with Will and failed to land a Second Chance spot she really should have had locked up that she couldn't even campaign for?
Yeah, I'd be pissed too.

America got it right, since I assume that Woo was a producer's choice. God dammit. One of the most boring players ever.
Putting him on the ballot was a mistake, but I think they wanted to make it so it wasn't just the Brains from S28 up there.
Hell, I would have taken LJ over Woo.

Now that I think about it, the men's side isn't really that hard up for eye candy. Andrew, Joe, Vytas, Woo, Jeremy and Terry are all good looking. I guess there's just no one that really stands out in the standard Survivor "hunk" category. (I see that Joe is really popular, but I personally don't see him as extremely attractive. More cute.) It will be an improvement over this past season though.
Please excuse me as I continue to talk to myself about Survivor hunks. Feel free to chime in.

The issue's the lack of young males. Normally they cast the braindead jocks, but they tend to not be who you want back for a second go-round.
Nobody likes Kelley from her season. Except for her dad.
She might be DOA then, lol.

I don't know. She's not threatening, and she doesn't really have an obvious reason to target her.
I can easily see her being a Monica Culpepper type person who didn't do a whole lot in her first go around, but winds up just sliding into a majority alliance (near the bottom) because she's not threatening anybody.
Kass and Shirin will have possible targets on them, and aren't great in challenges, so they could be early boots. We also could just see big threats being taken out right away.

All the more reason to take her to the end.

She's gonna be like Danielle from HvV. Nobody's going to know who she is so nobody will target her. I could see her going pretty far while the bigger fish eat each other.

Brainy hunks are my favorite, but I'd be okay with some brute force dudes too. (It's not like everyone in the vote here is Mensa worthy.)
There are a bunch of hunks they could of scouted though that are ripe for a second chance.

Colby is still king.
Aaron from China's one that got screwed and deserves a second shot. Marcus was another I was shocked to not see under consideration (even though I hate him.)

He is very handsome, but he kind of lost his mystique with all his appearances. Definitely the first real beefcake dude of the series though. (Joel Klug was sorta the prototype, but he didn't get that sort of attention on the show.)
Yeah. I could see both of them.
I was really hoping for Jeff Wilson since he never really got a shot due to his injury. Mick too. He wasn't an amazing player in his season but it kills me that he had so many opportunities to take control of the game but was under the Hantz spell.

Not happy with the one world characters or the blood/water making it...gave up on one world pretty quick with that asshole colson or whatever his name was. Think he came back for blood/water and I didn't want to watch that fuck the first time let alone a second(plus I hate the concept, so I skipped the second as well). Everyone else I'm fine with...but I don't know who the fuck these people are from those seasons. Hopefully, Kass goes quick. How did the brains get 3 people returning? Hope Kelly, Kimmi and Jeff do well. Barely remember some of these people...like the guy in the middle on the top row.
Shirin looked pretty bummed when Joe got on stage. He started bumping fists and hugging people while he skipped over her....she kinda of shrugged and got a frown on her face. Guess they don't get along well.

She's a loaded white collar with a million bucks that cast a deciding vote to evict him from the game.
He's a no-collar hunk that's 6 years younger who likes to make jewelry for a living.
She really shouldn't be surprised.
The thing I like here is the amount of middle aged players. It's a given with most of the really old season players getting yes votes, and then even among newer seasons it wasn't mostly the very young ones picked. Just such a nice contrast from shit like Big Brother or the One World cast when we can get something diverse. Solid cast despite no shane.

SO HAPPY with the results of the vote.
I was rooting hard for Fishbach, Varner, Abi, Kelley, Monica, and T-Bird. So 5 out of 6 aint bad.
I was also rooting against Shane, Max, and Wiglesworth and 2 of them didn't make it.

The power of T-Bird's hug will guide Monica to victory.
The Kass/Abi-Maria reaction was fucking incredible.

Man.....fuck Woo. Who the fuck wanted to see Woo play again?!
A lot of people.
I think this is actually giving her goat qualities and someone must be thinking of taking her to the end. "Don't vote for her, she is rich"
Yeah, and she beats Kass out for goat because you really don't want Kass on your side.
