S30.E14: It's A Fickle, Fickle Game / S30.E15: Worlds Apart Reunion

[LadyChatts]

That's it?  Cast reveal up next.

I almost feel sorry that Dan got the worst of it.  CBS must really want to bury this season.

[riverheightsnancy]

I think that Will's comment about Shirin and "no soul"  was about the fact that she is Muslim right? They didn't even want to touch that. 

Rodney should not have gotten a cake. It is reinforcing behavior that we want to extinguish! Do not reward it Jeff! 

[LanceM]

I think that set the record for least amount of contestants who got to talk at the reunion.

[truelovekiss]

Shirin is slaying. Will almost apologized well, but then he kind of blamed her, and told her she needs to forgive him and others that wronged her.

It's sad how this entire reunion is dedicated to shaming the douchebags of the season. I'm kind of glad, because they're usually glossed over, but I guess Jiffy and Mark were pissed off.

[Straycat80]

Oh no they didn't with the birthday cake for the little boy who whined about not having a good birthday. Boo!

Sucky apology Will.

[wallflower75]

Will got off way too easy.

 

Agreed.  Apparently, it's not as bad to mock someone's family as long as you don't call their mother a ho.

I think this season tied with Caramoan for the least number of players to speak at a reunion.

 

Caramoan: Cochran, Dawn, Brenda, Andrea, Reynold, Malcolm, Phillip

Worlds Apart: Mike, Carolyn (barely), Will, Rodney, Dan, Shirin, Joe

 

I so wish Jen had gotten airtime!

[escatefromny]

Reunion just finished, Did they even spend 3 minutes on Mike?!?!?

He really was an epic player, Shakesperian? ;)

He got shafted in the reunion show.

[cooksdelight]

When Shirin started her final speech or whatever about why she wasn't yet ready to accept an apology, the audience went dead quiet then Will's wife started shouting. That was downright scary and uncomfortable.

[LadyChatts]

Yep, Caramoan is dethroned.

[dizzyd]

CBS must really want to bury this season.

Serves them right for hyping it so much.

[truelovekiss]

Shaming douches and glorifying the beauty of Joe. Oh yeah, and Mike won and Carolyn might be on second chances, but it's whatever

[ElleryAnne]

Will just doesn't get it.  And if he thought the answer was to extend his apology to Shirin's family - when she's said more than once that she has almost no family relationships because of what happened in her past - then he doesn't listen well, either.  

 

And Rodney gets away with just getting a birthday cake.  Well, at least Jeff made a couple of good points with Dan.  

[auntieminem]

This reunion show sucks.  Why does it take that long to reveal the new cast?  Remember how much fun reunions used to be?  Talking to all or most of the players, now they wasted so much time on Dan and Will.  Ugh!

[NYGirl]

So what did Dan actually say about Survivor that made them so mad?

[LadyChatts]

Everyone else this season really got a raw deal by the drama.  What was the point in having all of them there?  Even Mike didn't seem to get much spotlight for a winner.

So what did Dan actually say about Survivor that made them so mad?

 

He essentially blamed CBS, Jeff, and TPTB in editing for giving him a raw deal.  He blamed everything on editing, and said they left moments out that would have made him more appealing to the viewers.  He claims he even called Jeff and ripped him a new one.

[vb68]

I like that Shirin stood her ground and didn't bend to the pressure to accept that apology.

[truelovekiss]

When Shirin started her final speech or whatever about why she wasn't yet ready to accept an apology, the audience went dead quiet then Will's wife started shouting. That was downright scary and uncomfortable.

I get wanting to defend your spouse, but I felt of sense of "she doesn't even go here." Lady, you weren't there. You didn't see it happen. Your husband said some awful things, and only took responsibility when he received public backlash. Looks like his acting career is done.

[cooksdelight]

So what did Dan actually say about Survivor that made them so mad?

That the editing sucked and he never said anything that we saw on TV.

[LadyChatts]

I was certainly expecting more drama between Will and Shirin.  Now Will can go off on CBS and Probst can't hold him as accountable like he did Dan.

[riverheightsnancy]

That's it?  Cast reveal up next.

I almost feel sorry that Dan got the worst of it.  CBS must really want to bury this season.

I think that CBS wants to be on time tonight, because it is David Letterman's final show tonight.  I would guess that they want it to start on time. 

[LadyChatts]

Well, so much for being vindicated at the reunion.  Will played that right.

 

Here we go!

Let's go!  Damn, Kelly Wiglesworth looks so different.

[choclatechip45]

 

I don't consider texting "I'm sorry" to someone a real apology.  Especially after the ugliness he spewed at her.

I agree, but Shirin said Will didn't text her and than she said he did. She can't have it both ways and it does make me wonder if he gave any sort of apology at Ponderosa.  I think what Will did was really shitty and I am on Shirin's side in the whole situation. I just felt like she is trying to get as much as she can out of this situation. Personally, if I were Shirin I would not accept his apology and she could have just said that.

I think i Shirin was trying to go there, andf get will to explain what that comment meant.

 

I think the audience wanted closure which is why they went quiet but when Will's wife was like he doesn't treat people that way, I'm like but he did. 

[LadyChatts]

Kelly Wiglesworth is in!

Next up: Kimmi and Jeff.  Kimmi's still a vegetarian.  Jeff isn't eating peanut butter.

 

Kimmi is in!  Jeff is in!  Yes!

And Jeff almost took himself out.

 

Keith is in.

T-Bird is out, Stephanie is out, Peih-Gee is in!

Ciera and Vytas are in.

Jim Rice is out.

Sabrina is out.

Terry is in, Andrew is in!

 

Getting worried that Max and Culpepper are making it.

[ElleryAnne]

Wow, 12 years later and Savage looks exactly the same.

[mojoween]

Agh Andrew and Terry sitting next to each other is a vortex of suck.

[CletusMusashi]

God damn it. I voted for people I couldn't even remember just to avoid voting for Vytas and his slimy self-centered ass.

Let me guess? Terry's back too? Yup. 

[LadyChatts]

Abi Maria and Kass-both are in.

[ottoDbusdriver]

Peachy is going full-on Maury Povich -- You ... will ... get a second chance.

[elizacat]

Very happy to see so many early survivors getting a second chance!

[LadyChatts]

Natalie, the other Kelley, Monica, and Mikayla-Monica is in, Kelley is in, Natalie and Mikayla are out.

[KaveDweller]

I think that Will's comment about Shirin and "no soul"  was about the fact that she is Muslim right? 

 

If that's the case I don't blame Shirin for not wanting to accept the apology.

[jsm1125]

I'm (pleasantly) surprised that Peih-Gee, Kimmi, Monica and Kelley Wentworth made it on the next season!

 

I'm really irritated that Terry made it over Shane.

Edited May 21, 2015 by jsm1125

[LadyChatts]

Very, very happy!

 

Shirin is in, Carolyn out.  Max is out!  

Woo and Stephen in.  

 

Troyzan is not back, Tasha is in.

[wait.what]

This is kinda cruel. All the losers with their luggage.

[ElleryAnne]

Carolyn didn't even look at Max when Jeff told Max he wasn't selected, even though they were sitting next to each other.

[LadyChatts]

Shane is out (damn), Jeremy is in.

 

Biggest disappointment is no Shane.

 

Two spots left-Spencer, Joe, and Brad.  Brad is out, Spencer and Joe are in.  They made that obvious.

 

ETA: fixed.

[Ms Blue Jay]

The voting went almost EXACTLY how I wanted it!

 

But take out Shirin and bring in Shane :( :( :(   Shane was one of the most unique contestants this game ever had.  There was literally no one like him in 30 seasons.  That's so sad.  I'm very, very sad about that.

 

But boy am I lucky in all the other ways.  I don't care about Ciara and kind of hate Terry, but all the other ones, wow.  Wow.

 

Jeremy is IN -- Not Out.

Edited May 21, 2015 by Ms Blue Jay

[wait.what]

Green shorts suit seems like an odd choice. Maybe just me?

[LadyChatts]

Biggest disappointments were no T-Bird (shocked by that one) and Shane.  Not surprised by Shane's exclusion.  I have to say, I am now thrilled with this cast.

[bafleyanne]

Ok I'm pretty happy with this.  Would like to have seen T-Bird over Abi-Maria but ecstatic for no Culpepper and Max.

[ElleryAnne]

"They're gonna board that bus."   Hopefully not all the way to Cambodia.

[trackmommy]

Will is so gross. Instead of apologizing he lectured to her about how she needs to forgive him and all the people who have hurt her. Then he hits her over the head with God. Then his equally gross wife yells at her. Disgusting. He never took responsibility for hurting, never even really acknowledged that he hurt her. Smarmy ass

[Starla]

Mostly happy except for Shane and Teresa. Monica over her? Otherwise, yay Stephen!

[CletusMusashi]

They're having it in Cambodia? Anybody else hoping they run into some "Tropic Thunder" style hijinks?

[MarquisDeCarabas]

I thought Jeremy was in.

 

I wonder who was brought in cause of Mike winning.

 

It looks like a lot of the early people and a lot of the later seasons got cast

Edited May 21, 2015 by MarquisDeCarabas

[enlightenedbum]

So Fishbach's going to either be voted out first or cruise to FTC, right?

[dizzyd]

When does Cambodia start?

[bafleyanne]

I wonder which of the guys was #11 and got bumped up by Mike's win?
