What if...

I was thinking, maybe they will reward every Survivor with a million dollars, then the one we voted for has an extra million! I mean why else would they hold another episode of it just to announce the winner? Maybe thats another twist! Its an All-Star game after all, and they deserve this...
 
Just my thoughts...

That would be interesting indeed sweet, I doubt it would happen though.
 
I did have a thought though...I wonder if somehow they (MB) decided to give away the extra million because clearly Amber and Rob are/were going to end up splitting or atleast sharing  the money!? It is possible that the other allstars complained over the last few months and allthough there is nothing concrete to prove that they 'conspired' to share the money there could be a very good arguement made that they indeed did. We dont know what was heard out there that we didnt hear, and there certainly are a few personalities in the allstar group that might pursue some kind of action as it is borderline (well atleast in my opinion ) the 'rule' about agreeing to share the money was broken.
 
Maybe a possible fair solution to that issue would be to award a million to another player ...and having the viewers pick who could have been something all the allstars agreed on...allthough I guess that really doesnt seem fair as there are obvious favourites out there.
 
Things that make you go hmmmm...
 
I know thats just a shot in the dark but I have a fever and might not be thinking straight Grin

I doubt they would give them all a million, if they did then what would the point of playing be? And at least 2 or three of them don't even want it...no i don't think Burnett wants to part with 20 million dollars..
 
I think they will use the show to show the most popular clips and situations that we voted on...thought i wouldn't be surprised if there was one more "twist" coming.....

I suspect that giving away the extra million might also have to do with Rupert's enormous popularity...although that's just a hunch on my part.

Rup--I agree.  I think they know that Rupert is likely to win, and this is their opportunity to reward the all-time most popular survivor.  I think they have intended for the money to be Rupert's all along.  I just hope it works.

Good!  Hopefully there won't be enough time left after that to talk about the Romber wedding.

yah if anyone wins/loses by a single vote I will take full responsibility!
 
If i had it my way I would vote for MB and gang to give it to some of the incredibly poor people in Panama...ive read some pretty terrible stuff about how negatively the panamanians were affected for our entertainment ..not sure if its all true but they certainly live a different life than the rest of us...obviously I still watch the show so really shouldnt bitch about it ...its just something I have thought about lately.
 
I am gonna go against popular opinion and say I probably would have voted  for Jenna M...ofcourse fully believing that she will donate it Breast Cancer research/charities.

You know Kelby, I've often toyed with different scenarios in my head for upcoming Survivor seasons.  I think it would have been really neat on All-Stars if a Panamanian who didn't speak a word of English would have come to be a part of each tribe.  That would have thrown a whole new dynamic into the game.
 
In my reasoning, the Panamanian would need to be someone who really knew how to live off the land--a survivalist--and it would be his/her responsibility to try to show the tribe members where to find the best vegetation, how to build adequate shelter from nature, and how and what to eat.  It would be up to the tribe members to cooperate and try to understand what their "guide" was trying to show them.
 
The guide would have a vote at tribal council, but his/her vote would not be based on alliances.  It would be based on who is truly trying to survive, learn, and help.
 
The twist would be that, near the end of the game, it would be revealed that this guide actually speaks fluent English and is a professor at a Panamanian university!  Or something along those lines...

That would be interesting indeed!
 
Do you know Rupe if there are any hard and fast rules the MB and gang must follow in the intrests of preserving the enviroment? You know the old story about vacationing certain places where they say..take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints? Im curious.

I have no idea but I would certainly hope they'd leave things as nearly as they found them.  
 
There are so many things I want to know about Survivor behind-the-scenes.  I won't mention them here because many of the questions I have deal with personal hygiene concerns but I also wonder how much the medical staff intervenes, how far the production staff will let things go before they intervene, etc.  
 
I believe I recently an interview with Jeff Probst in which he said that the water, food, and fire situation was getting so dire in All-Stars at the beginning that had the contestants gone one more day without these essentials, the staff would have helped them out.
 
Those bug bites though...that alone is the reason I couldn't do it.  Mosquitos love me anyway but I know that in the tropics, there are many mosquito-borne illnesses to be concerned about.  (I'm sure the contestants are vaccinated ahead of time, though.)

Yah I dont much like bugs either, and there is no amount of money that I could win that would make it okay for me to appear on National Television with hairy legs and armpits, and I cant go 4 hours with out a toothbrush never mind days.perhaps thats the high maintennance in me.
 
I love camping but prefer campsites without sloth's and other critters. I prefer outhouses  and the luxury of tp over the survivor alternative! It truly is amazing what people will do for money...eating bugs-ugh!
 
Yup MB would be wise to do a 'behind the scenes' special !

He probably already has one in mind that he'll pull out of his magic hat when rating start to get low and/or interest in Survivor dwindles.
