I missed the original, have watched some episodes when the players are good or the location was attractive, did watch All-Star, Heros vs Villains, missed Fans vs Favs, watched some of this last one because of Coach (he's such fun), Ozzy was new to me, either one deserved to take it, I was surprised how bad most players were in this last one (Rick & Edna, how did they even get in? they weren't even playing!), loved Parvati in Heros/Villains, got some favs: Rupert, Colby, Ethan, cannot stand Rob Mariano (in ANY of the 4 times they've let him play shouldn't it be a rule the 3rd one is the charm? 4 times, please!!), or the fat naked f_ _ (Richard, they picked that nickname for him, not me), so many winners have been such disappointments but Jeff Probst is still at the top of his game, real good host....After 11+ yrs I'm surprised it's still on, I wish they would not repeat locations so much, a lot of the So Pacific islands, sometimes the place isn't even named, it hints it may be the same spot as in the past, enough of Central America already, 3 countries!, and the special ones where the game is altered or a biggie guests is often kept at the same location as the previous one and it is shot right after to save $ (Nicaragua, Panama, So Pacific islands) I liked Amazon, Africa, Australia, they should do another Africa, the Andes in Chile....? (they never do cold locations), Death Valley lol?, Russia, another true tropical jungle would be nice, and it's a survivor show, they should have a rule people get thrown in that location w/the clothes they're wearing and nothing else (the 1st Panama had that) and stay away from bug-eating and biting into some giant meat on a skewer w/hands tied! I have a high threshold for tolerating anything I watch but that one was just DISGUSTING in this last one, and since it's TV after all you probably don't want them w/broken teeth/bleeding gums for a month, or gettin real sick from worm-eating.....
