 :cmas4 The storm knocked out my local CBS so i can't even pick it up on UHF but luckily I have power so thats something ---imagine if I had no internet!! If the network isn't up by showtime at least I can read the boards for the play by plays then watch Survivor on the internet when they innertube it  :yess:


Breaking News
WBRE/WYOU Viewer Update
We apologize for the inconvenience, but we currently off air on both WBRE and WYOU.  We assure you we are working very hard to correct this issue, but in the mean time keep checking back to PAHomepage.com for the most up to the date news, weather, and sports coverage.


PPL Working to Restore Power to Tens of Thousands
The weight of ice and wind gusts near 50mph were too much for many trees and power lines in our region. Nearly 100,000 customers lost power at some point in the storm, with 70,000 still in the dark and cold this afternoon....

Geeze puddin...what a bad time for a storm!

I can't wait for the show to start...I don't know who I am rooting for yet...maybe Amanda, but NOT Todd! LOL

I am on my way out to a Christmas Play and chances are I will miss the beginning of the show (hoping our electric doesn't go out also)   :pull

Enjoy the show tonight everyone.  I'll root for Amanda by default.

 :xmas49   everyone.  I'm excited too :jumpy:

I don't see Todd winning at all.  He has pissed off enough people.  Should it come down to Todd and one of the other girls, they will win.  Maybe it's just that I don't like Todd anymore.  At first I did, thought he was thinking out a good plan.  But since then, he's been all over the board it seems to the point where even Amanda started to doubt him and his loyalty to the alliance.

I REALLY can't wait for the reunion show.  I want to see sparks fly :cmaslol
Title: Re: Survivor China Finale Discussion
Post by: Rob on December 16, 2007, 06:15:42 PM
I, too, am looking forward to the reunion...but after have the chance to talk to a good chunk of the most recently voted out, I doubt there will be too many sparks flying at the reunion!! Jury should be good, however!

ditto that, RF!  :kisses  :xmas49

All those in the storms, I wish you the best of luck that there are NO power outages in your areas!  We get them here a lot during bad weather...so I can sure understand your frustrations!!  :pull :pull (:;)


:wohoo: Amanda??  I hope she wins!!  :cmas20 :cmas51

Post by: TheCinera on December 16, 2007, 06:29:35 PM
So far no power outages have been reported in my area.  Knock on wood, I hope that won't happen to my house soon. 

Anyways, I hope the Jury has some great questions for the Final Three.  John-Robert and PG will be the best ones, imo.

AMANDA
Title: Re: Survivor China Finale Discussion
Post by: Reality Junkee on December 16, 2007, 07:23:02 PM
Any speculation why she chose Todd? 
Title: Re: Survivor China Finale Discussion

Amanda sharing the reward with Todd. It's a large supreme pizza, beer, soda and brownies.
Title: Re: Survivor China Finale Discussion
Post by: RealityFreakWill on December 16, 2007, 07:24:41 PM
Any speculation why she chose Todd? 

Amanda had the choice of not choosing anybody or one or two people, but not all three people. It was a tough decision but she went with Todd and didn't choose a second person. She really didn't give a specific reason why she chose Todd.
Title: Re: Survivor China Finale Discussion
Post by: TheCinera on December 16, 2007, 07:27:16 PM
She just said it was because she wanted to "see where Todd's head was at."

Title: Re: Survivor China Finale Discussion
Post by: georgiapeach on December 16, 2007, 09:01:21 PM
You know, I think if I was on the jury, based on the TC performance--I might have to vote for Todd!

How terrible, it takes alot of courage for her to even tell everyone.
I'm glad she got something.

When I heard that Denise had not been rehired because of the game my first thought was "I wonder how many lawyers are looking up her phone number right now!"  The school should have realized how bad their decision would make them look  :groan:
Title: Re: Survivor China Finale Discussion
Post by: Rob on December 16, 2007, 10:40:16 PM
I honestly think Denise is better off without that job...she made the decision to leave for that length of time. I don't know how most of these people can leave their job for that long and still come back to the same position they had. Like I said, she is better off without it. She will do much better now that she is free of lunch lady land!

Post by: RealityFreakWill on December 16, 2007, 10:42:17 PM
I bet Bluto or whatever his name was wants to crawl under a rock and die tonight after swearing up and down that Amanda was going to win hands down!

I find that totally hilarious and that girl only got one measly vote!

I am so totally stoked Todd won, he totally deserved it only because he PLAYED the game since DAY ONE!

You may be right, she may be better of without that job but if she can't find another quickly it is better than nothing and it could have got ugly real quick without the $50,000  MB just handed her.  Denise lives in a very small town, Douglas, MA about 7,000 people.  Good jobs in small towns are few and far between usually.  She has 3 children and I don't have a clue about her husband's job but it sounds like they were living pretty tight  so loss of a second income will cause you to not sleep well at best.   I just hope all this publicity is good for her and helps get her dojo off to a good start.

HaHa I like when the spoilers are wrong! Congratulations Todd!!!  :cmas26
but one spoiler was RIGHT straight across.  I mused over it for an hour just before the show to decide if I wanted to risk going with them.  Had I done so, my scores would've greatly increased!  And just going w/ my gut would've helped. 
After seeing the show, and especially the Jury TC, I felt Todd would win.  Amanda's response's just didn't cut it for me and Todd's did.  Actually Courtney's answers were better than I expected.  I'm happy how it all turned out!   :cmas9 :jumpy: :yess:

Puddin ...... I have not spoiled the last 2-3 seasons, and it has really made it much more fun to watch.

Going into tonight, I really thought Amanda would win, but after listening to the jury questions and answers, she really dropped the ball. I think she was trying too hard to make the jury like her. Amanda let Todd come off looking like the mastermind. All she could hang her hat on was the James vote out.

What she should have done and said was that she and Todd had this alliance from day one, and talk over every strategic move and vote out together. But that during the game, she played Todd to make him look like the bad guy.  :cmas28

Todd and Courtney were yanked from the wrap party last night and took the redeye flight to NYC and they were caught in traffic en route to the CBS studio and were late arriving and didn't have time to grab their luggage. The honchos had to buy a new shirt for them to wear and made an appearance on The Early Show. They talked about weight loss. Todd said he lost 27 pounds while he was in the jungle and gained back 35 pounds in ten days! Courtney was down to 86 pounds at the final weigh in but has since gained it all back. Of course, Todd was presented with a huge million dollar check. He said he plans to use the money to travel, buy his parents a nice Christmas gift and I think he said he wants to buy a house. Courtney gets 50,0000 for being first runner-up and plans to travel as well.

Todd then went to make an appearance on Live with Regis and Kelly and mainly talked about his strategy and game play. He actually was pretty funny when he talked to the hosts.

I enjoyed watching both shows this morning.

Looking back at the fifteen seasons of Survivor (I started watching it at season 2 after hearing co-workers constantly talking about it)

Which winner was your favorite and which was the worst one?

Borneo-Richard Hatch
Australian Outback-Tina Wesson
Africa-Ethan Zohn
Marquesas-Vecepia Towery
Thailand-Brian Heidik
The Amazon-Jenna Morasca
Pearl Islands-Sandra Diaz-Twine
All-Stars-Amber Brkich
Vanuatu-Chris Daugherty
Palau-Tom Westman
Guatemala, the Maya Empire-Danni Boatwright
Panama, Exile Island-Aras Baskauskas
Cook Islands-Yul Kwon
Fiji-Earl Cole
China-Todd Herzog
Micronesia......Spring 2008

I think my favorite winner is definitely Todd Herzog with Yul Kwon right behind him and the worst winner in my opinion is Sandra Diaz-Twine.

No ....... I loved that season!!! It was the men versus women. The women kicked ass until it got down to Chris being the only guy left, with about 6 women. But he managed to go on an immunity run, and turn the women against each other, to pull off a huge upset!!!  :xmas146

Ratings Article: Survivor Finale Keeps CBS On Top

http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117977919.html?categoryid=14&cs=1 (http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117977919.html?categoryid=14&cs=1)

While its rivals were scaling back on first-run fare, CBS stayed in originals with most of its key series last week -- including the finale of "Survivor: China" -- and delivered its second straight ratings victory in key demos.

Key for CBS was the 15th season-ender of "Survivor." The granddaddy of the current reality wave, "Survivor" was one of the rare shows to win its time period every week this fall in both demos and total viewers.

After prevailing Thursday in its regular slot (4.6/13 in 18-49, 14.49m), its two-hour finale won its Sunday time period (5.2/12, 15.18m), and the reunion show also did well (4.5/11, 12.26m). The Sunday scores were down some from last year's fall finale but were up a bit vs. the most recent spring finale in May.

INTERVIEW: 'Survivor: China' champion Todd Herzog talks strategy
 
By Christopher Rocchio, 12/18/2007

Todd Herzog felt like the other Survivor: China castaways were mostly clueless when it came to playing the game.
 
 
He was right, as the 22-year-old self-described Survivor fanatic from Pleasant Grove, UT took home China's $1 million grand prize and title of "Sole Survivor" during Sunday night's finale of the long-running CBS reality series' fifteenth edition.

On Monday, Todd talked to Reality TV World about the only other castaway he felt was playing the game; why his strategy of calling the shots basically went-off without a hitch; how each of the other castaways played a role in helping him achieve his dream; if the story about his younger sister was true; and what his plans are for the $1 million.

 
Reality TV World:  How did you end up being cast for Survivor: China?

Todd:  It took me three shots -- I sent in three different videotapes -- one for Cook Islands, one for Fiji and finally China.  I made it to semifinals for Fiji and all the way for China.

Reality TV World:  You made it known throughout the season that you're a huge Survivor fan.  What is it about the show that's so appealing to you?

Todd:  I was about 15 when the show came out.  For some reason, it just caught my attention.  I just loved the adventure.  I loved the fact that it was a super-game.  I got hooked, and I started watching every season -- fell in love with it more and more -- and knew that one day, I'd be able to do it as well.

Reality TV World:  You seemed to be well aware that most of the other castaways were going to view the fact you had "pissed the most people" on the jury off as a good reason to keep you around. I assume that was part of your strategy?   

Todd:  That was most definitely a part of my strategy.  I wanted to let people know that I'm a good person to go up against in the finals because I've pissed everybody off.  So why not take me along?  They won't vote for me!  But in my head, I already knew that I was going to use my game strategy for my final plea to the extreme... Let people know that my game play was hardcore.

Reality TV World:  So I guess based on that -- I don't want to put words in your mouth -- but do you feel like you suckered the jury into voting for you?

Todd:  I would say that I convinced them.  I don't if I "suckered" them.  I kind of made them realize, "Hey, wow, look!  This kid had a huge passion for this game from Day 1, and he actually made it [to the Final 3], which says something about that.  And he's not lying.  He's telling us all that, yeah, he hurt us.  But he played the game."

Reality TV World:  What was your reaction when Amanda Kimmel decided to stay true to her alliance with you and instead boot Denise Martin?  Were you ever concerned she'd side with Denise and force a tie?

Todd:  I honestly trusted Amanda out there at all times.  It wasn't until I was watching the show that I realized how much she doubted me.  So it was kind of a shock to me.  But luckily she never back-stabbed me or else I would have been completely dumbfounded.

Reality TV World:  Since they were your closest allies, do you think Amanda and Courtney Yates ever realized being a "schemer" was part of your strategy to win the $1 million? 

Todd:  I kind of think that they knew, but I also think at the same time they were going to try to convince everybody that I'd pissed them off.  So... It just made sense for me to go and fight the "game argument" whereas they probably were like, "Oh, we can totally tell everybody that we did better than him."

Reality TV World:  During the penultimate Tribal Council, did the face and comment you made have a purpose behind it like Amanda insinuated? 

Todd:  It wasn't until I was watching the show that I realized how many faces I make (laughing). But that one, I was just reacting in my own little head and then [Survivor host Jeff Probst] asked me about it.  If it was me in Denise's position, [what Amanda said] would have been like a giant, huge slap in the face.  I didn't realize it then, but I was calling Amanda out on it (laughing).  I didn't do it on purpose, but I am glad that I did.

Reality TV World:  So you think that played a role in the jury's decision?

Todd:  Oh yeah! You know, Amanda said that she was not lying and that she was some good little girl, but she was telling many, many lies.  I never told Denise that I would never write her name down.  That was stupid on Amanda's part.

Reality TV World:  So you've talked about completely trusting Amanda, was it a similar case with Courtney?  When did your alliance with Courtney begin?

Todd:  My alliance with Courtney -- you'd be surprised -- was about Day, 6, 7, 8, or 9... somewhere right around there.  It's when I realized, "I need this girl around because she's smaller than me -- so as a team, if we do lose -- I cannot be the weak link. We'd have someone smaller."  So I made a close alliance with her, but it was not ever confirmed.  It was just kind of an unspoken thing.  We were really close throughout the entire season.  So bringing her to the Final 3, I was really proud to be sitting next to her.

Reality TV World:  During last night's finale broadcast both you and Amanda acknowledged you formed an alliance on Day 1.  What was it about Amanda that made you want to align with her?

Todd:  It's surprising because I looked at Amanda... I looked at everyone on my tribe when we got out there.  Amanda had something in her that looked like she was there for the adventure, there for the game, and that she really wanted to be there.  That's why I was like, "You know what?  You're on the same page as me."  So we chatted, we decided it was the best thing to do, and I meant every word of I'm being honest and I'm sticking to you.

Reality TV World:  You and Amanda initially chose Aaron Reisberger as the third member of your alliance due to his strength and ability to serve as the target.  Would you have remained aligned with Aaron had the swap not occurred?  When the swap did occur, what did you tell Aaron before he left for Zhan Hu?

Todd:  When Aaron left for Zhan Hu, I told him, "Look.  You need to join those Zhan Hu members and let them know that you are more than willing to vote [fellow swapped Fei Long member James Clement] out if you expect to stay in this game.  Because if not, you're gone."  Apparently he just felt way too comfortable and James just did way better sweet-talking instead of Aaron.  But I'm kind of relieved because if Aaron would have gone farther in the game, he would of become an extremely huge threat.  So in a way, Zhan Hu did my dirty work for me.

Reality TV World:  Was there a point where you began to feel this was going way too easy?  You almost seemed to be like Survivor: Thailand winner Brian Heidek -- surrounded by people like Clay Jordan and Jan Gentry that were afraid or uninterested in making a move.

Todd:  I really felt like nobody was playing the game out there other than [Peih-Gee Law] and myself.  I knew that Peih-Gee was a total hustler, but I think the reason why I was so bugged by her was because she was the other one who was really pushing.  I was like, "No!  I'm supposed to be that one!" 

But I was more than happy calling the shots.  I didn't realize Amanda had such a strong opinion.  I felt like she was just kind of la-di-dahing her way around until I saw on the show... I was kind of proud to be able to say I'm playing this game -- I may second-guess myself or think about all the different options I can -- but I'm still here and I'm still going to fight.

Reality TV World:  Were you surprised that Leslie Nease made the decision to share her Hidden Immunity Idol clue with you so early in the game?

Todd:  Of course!  At first I was completely shocked -- but now that I sit back and think about it -- it was probably in her best interest.  She's also an extreme, diehard Survivor fan, so she knew I was as well.  She figured take the two fans, align together... I love her.  She's a great lady.  But she liked to play a really, really nice game.  That would have hurt me later down the road.

Reality TV World:  Seeing as how you were such a strategic player, why did you decide to retrieve the Hidden Immunity Idol in daylight while people were at camp?  Did you ever think that plan could backfire?

Todd:  Well this is the story behind that...

Reality TV World:  I just talked to Amanda, and she described you as a "kid in a candy store," which is why you two didn't wait.

Todd:  I was so excited about it!  This is the thing.  After I talked to Amanda about it, I saw her messing around in that area.  I was like, "Uh-oh!  If she finds it first, it's technically hers."  So I went over there and started feeling around too, and I was like, "As long as I'm the one with it in my hands.  As long as I'm the one with it in my hands."  Then I would use it into my power, you know?

I didn't realize it was the whole square (laughing).  It fell off and it had the big writing on the back of it, I just remember I was like (takes a deep breathe).  So I really thought it was just one of the little, tiny bats.  I was like, "I can pick this off and no one will even notice!"

Reality TV World:  What was your reasoning behind giving the Hidden Immunity Idol to James and then telling him where the other Hidden Immunity Idol was at the Zhan Hu camp?

Todd:  I was so worried that Zhan Hu was going to throw the next challenge again; that we were going to go into a merge five/five; and that we would literally get screwed.  So in my thinking, I said, "If I give this to James as insurance..." Because we didn't know the idol would be the same at Zhan Hu [as it was at Fei Long].  I said, "You go see if the idols [at Zhan Hu] -- if it is -- we're going to show these idols."

He agreed to it.  We agreed to show the idols... He even told me when we got [James] back, "These are OUR idols if we need them."  So I was never worried.  Then it got to the point where we were in the Top 7, and he wasn't handing me one!  He just kept saying, "Yeah we're sharing.  We're sharing."   But he wasn't giving it to me so he just had to go.

Reality TV World:  Okay, so that was one of the contributing factors as to why you agreed to blind-side James?

Todd:  Exactly.

Reality TV World:  Just to backtrack a second, you just mentioned Zhan Hu throwing that Immunity Challenge.  Was that something you surmised or did somebody tell you that's what happened?

Todd:  Amanda was sitting out in that challenge, and she watched [Zhan Hu member Jaime Dugan] completely throw it.  I was doing the puzzle so crazy, I just thought, "Go, go, go!"  Then when we got back to camp later, [Amanda's] like, "Todd, they totally threw that challenge."  It all hit me really quick... "They're going to throw the next two challenges, vote out Aaron and James and we're going to go five/five into merge."  That was NOT okay with me.

Reality TV World:  You seemed to place a lot of importance on the "numbers" game throughout the season -- and you even just mentioned it.  Were you confident at the merge since Fei Long had the numbers advantage over Zhan Hu? 

Todd:  I was 100% confident.  I thought my ideas and my plan was going to work great.

Reality TV World:  What was your reaction when James told you Jaime had what she thought was a Hidden Immunity Idol and intended to play it?  Did that factor into your decision to vote for her instead of Peih-Gee or Erik Huffman at that Tribal Council?

Todd:  I think the reason we ended up voting for Jaime was because her and Erik were so tight.  They worked as one -- instead of individually -- so it was like "let's break that alliance immediately."  Jaime definitely, definitely called the shots between the two of them.  She has that boy whipped (laughing)!  So it was just an easy decision: breakup the alliance, get rid of a key player... and when she played that Hidden Immunity Idol, it was just hilarious.

Reality TV World:  Seeing as how it ended up not having much weight to it, how seriously did you take Jean-Robert Bellande's threat that he would "lobby so hard" against you if he were on the jury due to you screwing him over?

Todd:  I went away and I just laughed hysterically to myself because the guy couldn't convince someone to... He couldn't convince anybody of anything!  He's Jean-Robert.  He's all talk.  He's a big guy who likes to make people think like he's top-of-the-line.

Reality TV World:  So at the final Tribal Council when you called Jean-Robert an "extremely great strategic player" in the competition, I assume you were just feeding him what he wanted to hear?

Todd:  He's a big guy with a big ego -- and I wanted to win his vote -- so you make him feel like he's even more powerful and he's going to love you.

Reality TV World:  You told everyone about the plan to blind-side Jean-Robert -- except Denise.  What happened there?

Todd:  I wanted to tell Denise.  I really, really did, because I trusted Denise.  But James and Amanda were both afraid that Jean-Robert and Denise had a secret alliance, and they were afraid she would tell Jean-Robert that we were going to blind-side him. Just in case they did [have a secret alliance],  I was like, "Okay, I'll just ignore the fact I want to tell Denise."

Reality TV World:  We've talked about how several other castaways fit into your plan.  When did Denise come into the picture?  She seemed like kind of an outsider at first.

Todd:  It's surprising the bond I have with Denise.  She's a great person... I don't really know how that came around.  We just sort of watched out for each other in weird ways.

Reality TV World:  Was the decision to eliminate Michael "Frosti" Zernow before Erik solely a test to see if Courtney could be trusted?

Todd:  You want to know the real reason why I voted him out?  After he won that freakin' Reward Challenge -- he did a flip off of a pole! -- I saw that and was like, "No way!  This kid is still way too strong.  He hasn't had food in days and he's doing flips? No dice..."

Reality TV World:  Both Jean-Robert and Amanda had the idea to blind-side James.  Why was it that when Jean-Robert proposed it you blind-sided him but when Amanda suggested it the plan was put into motion and James was booted?

Todd:  One reason I decided to take care of Jean-Robert when I did is because Courtney was having a problem trusting us all -- and we needed her so badly to stay tight with us --  [so] we had to do a move that she wanted [done].  So I said, "Let's get rid of Jean-Robert so she can see I was on her side."

Reality TV World:  You realized the problem that Peih-Gee and Erik would most likely vote for you -- so if James did use the idol, the person with the next highest vote total would be booted, meaning you'd be booted.  You still decided to vote for James anyways and it all worked out, but how confident were you James wouldn't play one of the idols?

Todd:  I was actually not confident at all.  That was the one Tribal Council where I was scared to death.  I had actually talked to Amanda and said, "Look, I'm writing Peih-Gee's name down just in case."  [Amanda] said to me that if I really trusted her, and she wanted to keep my trust or vice versa, that I had to, had to, had to write down James' name.  So I took a gamble -- rolled the dice -- because I wanted her to see that I had her back.

Reality TV World:  What was your reaction when James decided against using either of the Hidden Immunity Idols?  Did you feel that cemented your standing as the game's frontrunner?

Todd:  100%.  When he didn't pull the idol, the first thing that went through my head was, "WHAT!?!"  I was just so happy at that point -- sad because I liked him -- but SO happy because it worked.

Reality TV World:  What do you think happened there?  What do you think was going through his head?

Todd:  Right before Tribal Council, I approached him and said, "Look, they're going to vote for me.  I need the idol tonight!"  he said, "Okay, I'm going to go get it for you."  Instead, he yelled at Erik and said, "Erik!  I don't know what you're thinking -- what you're putting in this boy's mind -- but I'm voting with him tonight!"  So I went back to James and I said, "You keep the idol because I want you to trust me."  That's when I put the final nail in his coffin.  I wanted him to feel super-confident that he wasn't going home that night.

Reality TV World:  Had you and Amanda always planned on taking Courtney to the Final 3?

Todd:  Amanda did not want to take Courtney.  She didn't like her at the very beginning at all.  She had no desire to.  But I just ignored it (laughing)!

Reality TV World:  So based on that, it sounds like you never considered taking Denise to the Final 3.

Todd:  In my opinion, it was always Courtney.  I knew Denise would throw "the cry card" out [and] probably make the jury feel SO bad for her.  Kind of like she did last night to get a $50,000 bonus check from freakin' Mark Burnett!

Reality TV World:  I'm sorry I have to ask this, but was the story about your younger sister's miscarriage a strategy or was it something that really occurred?

Todd:  That was the complete truth.  The only reason I asked my sister was because I was afraid if I didn't win or get chosen to go on the Reward, that I wouldn't see her again, and I was really worried about our little sister.  She's 17, I was worried.  It got turned into a really big deal that I didn't want to get brought up -- but again -- I said it and I shouldn't have...

Reality TV World:  So how much weight did you lose while participating in Survivor: China?

Todd:  I lost 27 pounds.

Reality TV World:  Since you were kind of a small guy to begin with, how do you think that affected you?

Todd:  It was surprising because I didn't feel like I was losing weight.  I really didn't.  Then one day I remember waking up and having bruises on my side from sleeping on the bamboo and I had no cushion.  I was like, "Ooh!  I look heroine-chic!  I can't wait to go buy a pair of skinny jeans!" (laughing)

Reality TV World:  I know you tried to hide it for a while, but it seemed pretty obvious out there that you were Survivor: China's strategic puppet master. Why do you think the other castaways blindly followed your lead throughout the game?

Todd:  I really think a lot of them were very clueless in the game.  So they were like, "Todd what do we do next!?  Todd what does this mean!?"  So it's almost like they needed me there.  I really don't understand why they didn't vote me off like seventh or eighth.  I don't get it.  But they didn't! (laughing)

Reality TV World:  Was it hard to keep a straight face when Courtney and Amanda decided to keep you around because you pissed the most people off on the jury, knowing they were basically helping to further your strategy?

Todd:  I don't know... I thought I was keeping a straight face for a lot of it, but apparently I don't.  I have so many facial expressions I didn't know I had.

Reality TV World:  At any point in the competition -- even prior to the Final 4 -- did you ever think there was a scenario where Amanda or Courtney would blind-side you?

Todd:  No.  Surprisingly I wasn't concerned about it.  I guess I should have been because that might have been a bad move on my part... too confident.  But luckily for me (laughing), it wasn't.

Reality TV World:  What's your plans with the $1 million and what's next for you?

Todd:  You know, it still doesn't seem real.  I can't wait to get home and... I don't know.  I'm going to go get a car! (laughing)

Reality TV World:  Sounds like a good place to start.

Todd:  I'm going to go on a little DVD shopping spree.  But I really don't know.  I'm excited to see what happens next.  It will be really neat to set back into real life because I feel like I put everything on hold until December 16.

Reality TV World:  You commented during the finale that participating in Survivor was living your dream.  Was Survivor everything you thought it would be?

Todd:  This has been my dream since I was 15.  Kids say they want to be famous, or they want to be in a band, or they want to be a doctor.  This is what I wanted and I actually got to do it.  Not only did I get to do it, I got to win.  This is my dream come true, as cheesy as that sounds... I'm going to Disney World! (laughing)

I'm looking at the e-bay listings from Survivor....CBS put up lots of items and the money will go to the Elizabeth Glaser charity.

James' torch is currently going for $1.450.00

Todd's torch is going for $1,026.55

Australian Outback-Tina Wesson
Africa-Ethan Zohn
The Amazon-Jenna Morasca
Cook Islands-Yul Kwon

Those are my favorite winners.  Marquesas and Amazon were my favorite seasons of all time. 
I also liked Ethan & Yul! 
Did NOT like Jenna!
Loved Tom-Africa
and Rupert yaaay Rupert! Loved him! Pearl Islands.

On Marquesas, Really liked uhh...dang...forgot his name, but Gina, whom I also liked, was in the same season.  Tall blond guy.  He announces for documentaries on the History channel. 
Oh yeah...HUNTER!!!!  I was furious that Hunter & Gina got booted off early!  grrrr.   Also on Marquesas, Paschal.  Cool guy!

Gee, like puddin, I liked more than I disliked!  :cmas16

From survivorsucks:

A poster submitted the following questions for Todd and he answered them. Todd's ID on sucks is supersurvivorkid

1. If Amanda voted you off at Final 4, and the Final 3 was Amanda, Courtney and Denise, who would you have voted for? And who do you think would have won?

Courtney would have had my vote and won

2. If you had won the final immunity, who would you have voted off?

Denise

3. When were you planning on voting out James? You suggested it early on, but then seemed to drop the idea until Amanda brought it up.

You could only use the idols through 5, he would have gone then

4. Why did you let James have both immunity idols? Why didn't you tell him that if he found the other one he had to give you one back?

Didnt know it was same at zhan hu. we made a deal we were sharing the idols that wasnt shown

5. Was Amanda's ass really hanging out that much or is CBS just going crazy with the censoring lately? (Judging from this year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show I'm guessing the later.)

It wasnt too bad, but it did hang out

6. Who do think were the most deserving winners? And where do you stand among them?

Sandra, Tom, Yul, me... (i can brag, my dream just came true)

7. If Amanda had voted you out at Final 4 and then won the whole thing, do you think she would have been a more deserving winner than you?

Love the girl, but nobody thought she was even playing the game. we didnt know until we watched the show... so no i dont think she had a shot.

8. Do you have any idea what the jury vote tie-breaker is?

No idea. maybe the third place becomes the final jury member

9. Do you know if Amanda knew whether or not she had won China when she was filming Half-ASS?

I'm not allowed to comment on half ass yet apparantly even though i know a bunch!! haha

10. Do you know anything about what happens on Half-ASS? Or whether Cirie is on it?

Read above please

11. I'm afraid to ask, but what's it like being a gay Mormon in Utah?

Fine. How is it not being one?

12. I thought your sister who visited you was hot. Can you hook me up?

You can kiss my little white ass first.... hehe

I sent a message to Todd via myspace asking him if he will be distributing autographed pictures to his fans and he responded to me today telling me he's working on that and to get back to him in a few weeks!

Voted for Todd
Jaime
Jean-Robert
James
Peih-Gee

Voted for  Courtney
Frosti
Denise

Voted for Amanda
Erik


I want to let you all know that the voting breakdown above turned out to be incorrect. First of all, CBS posted the votes by mistake and from what I read on sucks and elsewhere, and since Todd regularly posts on sucks and it has been verified by Todd himself and Frosti as well and CBS has since corrected it...

Frosti VOTED for Todd.

James VOTED for Courtney.

Wasn't sure if everybody was aware of it so I thought I would update on that.
