Yes, and sometimes Ponderosa is as good as the regular show. The guys there now are pretty low-key, though, so there have only been a couple of videos for each of the last two weeks. Often, there will be three or even four Ponderosa vids.
And it's always called Ponderosa? Are they all on YouTube? When do these things air?

They don't air, they're posted as extras on the CBS Survivor website.

This is a pretty good season, folks. It's wonderful to be cynical and all, but we've had some total stinkers recently. Screw Troy; he deserves to leave. This is a women's season. If you think it's boring, wait until they have to start picking each other off. It seems pretty clear at this point that Kim's goal of "flying under the radar" isn't workingTroy picked up on it, and you'd better believe some of the other women think the same. It's a question of whether she'll be able to maneuver herself around the women as well as she's been able to do around the guys.
He didn't.
His tribe won every immunity challenge, sparing him from actually having to do anything, and he had a tight-knit alliance with four people (three of whom were on his original tribe), an alliance that was formed before the game even began. The smartest thing he did was getting rid of Stephenie and aborting what would have inevitably been a Cinderella run to an easy victory for her.
How can you say there's been no scrambling? Four people got votes at TC! They were going to vote 5 for Troy and 3 for Jay, and obviously that plan changed close to TC. They showed Troy scrambling mere moments before they left. Nobody knows exactly what's up, and it will get more murky once Troy (and probably Leif) leaves.
I hope the overwhelmingly negative reaction to RI from the peanut gallery combined with the relatively good reaction this season is getting means the end of RI. What a terrible, time-sucking, pointless "twist" that was.
Ugh, I fucking hated Tom. He got one of the most shiny, heroic, do-no-wrong, sappy bullshit edits in the history of the show, and everyone thinks he played the game brilliantly in order to win.

Probably because the men have been playing horribly. I mean, they were all terrified of Colton because of his hidden immunity idol, even though they could have blindsided him by just voting for him; there's no way Colton would have played it, he was way too cocky. Mind you, as annoying as he was, it was enjoyable watching him control his tribes so easily.
Then, post-merge, they have continued to play sloppy. Kim appears to be playing one of the best games of Survivor ever, but then you look at the people she is playing with and it starts to make sense that it's just an above average game for her. I'm not trying to take anything away from here, and she has made some intelligent moves, but man there are some real idiots on this show.
I'll be glad once all the men are gone. Although I still think its wise to bring Tarzan to the end. And as much as I hate Alicia, she'd be another strong choice for a final three. I'm ready for the girls to turn on each other, but even that makes me think it will end up being like Sab, Kim and Chelsea at the end. Kat getting voted out should be entertaining though.

The men have been awful... none have an IQ above 20. It's a woman's game this season and a woman deserves to win.
Every time I see Jonas I want to punch him in the face. He had no backbone whatsoever and has this annoying perma smile that looks like he's constipated / going for a shit in his pants.

I agree. Tom is without a doubt the most overrated player in the history of the game. He managed to land himself on the strongest tribe in the history of Survivor, and then he rode Ian's coattails strategically for the entire game. I mean, the guy's concept of Survivor strategy was trying to force ties, and he was completely dumbfounded when he learned that Ian was trying to vote him out.
Tom was obviously a great challenge performer, but he was an incredibly lucky player who didn't seem to have a firm grasp on the strategy of the game.

At least we got to see Tom eliminated early in Heroes vs. Villains. That was cathartic.

...he did win his season, unfortunately.
He thankfully left HvV before they were able to make him seem like even more of a god.

He didn't win his season. Fell in the water at the final challenge (balance challenge on the water) and got kicked out.

Er, perhaps I'm falling for a bizarre trolling attempt (why would you troll a Survivor thread?), but he most certainly did win Survivor: Palau, winning in a 6-1 vote against Katie. Ian famously stepped out of the final immunity challenge and agreed to be voted out in return for Tom's respect.

Jay was the only guy I wouldn't mind to see win, otherwise all the other guys have annoyed me at some point.
I'd like to see Sabrina or Kim win the most, but I think Sabrina is the first to go when it's all girls. Maybe it's just me, but she seems to be pretty likeable. I can see her possibly winning if she was against Kim/Chelsea when taking into account all the betrayals.

11 and 57 second mark.
Agreed, these guys are stupid as hell. Troyzan is the only one with a clue about anything. It's pissing me off just watching this trash, and someone needs to wipe that little smile off Kim's face since she thinks she's so damn amazing.
The pile of useless is basically Leaf, Tarzan, Alician, Kat, and Christina. Troyzan, Kim, and Sabrina are the only ones with a remote clue of what is going on. It will come down to Kim and Sabrina minus a miracle as all the others are either along for the ride or too stupid to notice they aren't going to win the million dollars. One of the worst seasons I've ever seen, could they not seriously cast a few intelligent male players?

You all saying it's such a bad season and then using the men as an argument are funny. There's an entire other tribe. Just because there have been a few stupid mistakes doesn't mean diddly. Survivor is filled with people making stupid mistakes going back to their golden years. This season isn't as good as a lot of other great seasons but I think you're forgetting about a lot of dud seasons as well. This season has brought back my hope of the show once again becoming great.
The worst part of this season is what seems like the producers figuring out if they can phase Jeff out of the challenges. Two reward challenges without him now. At least have him flying around on a helicopter dropping rewards. No one wants to see his talk show. Unless his talk show involves him bringing in past contestants and actually doing recaps with their seasons since he does an absolutely horrific job at that during the reunion each year.
Edit: Just remembered Gabon. First season I disliked in a long run of good seasons. Sugar and Matty were fine but the sarcastic alliance on Ponderosa was more fun to watch than the actual episodes. Just thinking about Crystal and Kenny send shivers down my spine.
lol

Dreamz was the original Russell. Great at getting to the end, but he burned too many bridges to ever have a chance of winning the game.
Fiji kind of sucks because Earl, Dreamz and Yau-Man were the only memorable characters. It does have one of the most amazing blindsides in history, though.

Yau Man is one of my favorite players. His second performance is pretty good too; he was literally so likeable it made everyone paranoid
Earl was the classic smart player though, he ran his alliance and knew when to jettison his greatest threat.

I don't really mind Earl, but the winners before and after him were just great. He gets kind of lost in the shuffle in my mind.

Is he the only winner to get a clean sweep? Struggling to remember others.
Yau Man is amazing off season, such a creep when ever he's on some show. He just recently flashed Christa's tits on a livestream. Plays that old perv role so well.
JT sweeped Stephen, I also remembered that Tom won his season but apparently that was 6-1.

while watching the ponderosa bits; and hearing him talk about this that - in particular that bit about troyzan and the immunity idol; and not knowing he is going to play it. What a doofus. Troyzan told you about it and you told kim, ensuring your exit. I'll give the women this; they did play the men; but they've been completely brain dead since getting reamed up the bum by colton (yes colton!!!) to their complete and utter annilihation now.
There is no way troyzan can win at least 7 immunity challenges. the game is a lock for an all female finale. Which I guess is neat (still they're all boring to watch).
I don't know why people are pining for Colton. The guy had no plan, he basically kicked off anybody he disliked as a person. The reason why he had so much control in the beginning was due to the fact his fellow tribe-mates (the guys) are terrible at this game and easily manipulated (the "muscle alliance" couldn't even do simple math and thought they could dominate with only 4 people). Just look how they are being played by Kim now. Please don't mistake their incompetence for Colton's brilliance.

Glad Troyzan won. Should be clear that women control the game now, but Lief and Tarzan seem oblivious. Also, I'm calling bullshit on Tarzan being a plastic surgeon after he said he needs $500 to fix a jeep.

Well, looks like Leif instead of Tarzan. Either way, these people are too stupid to do anything. Did Christina forget that Alicia was bullying the fuck out of her with Colton? She's an idiot.
