Survivor 2010: Sandra Diaz-Twine Wins Again
Sandra Diaz-Twine is the only two time winner of Survivor. Her philosophy of “as long as it’s not me” brought her all the way to the final tribal council where she had the chance to plead her case to the jury. In a 6-3 vote the jury members awarded Sandra the title of Sole Survivor and the prize money of a million dollars for the second time.
At the final tribal council the jury members questioned all three finalists and it was pretty obvious that no one liked Russell and no one respects his game. Colby tells him that he is delusional if he thinks he made it to the end without luck. Coach tells Russ he can be a very little man in stature and word while praising Parvati as a warrior. But, Danielle put the nail in the coffin when she asked if he would do anything differently and when he says no and sticks by all his moves, she tells him he has a lack of skill with the jury and won’t receive any votes. It turns out she was correct. What do you think? Did we have two bitter juries or is there a lot we don’t see of Russ and his evil ways that are lost in the editing room?
JT wins the trophy for the dumbest move ever by a castaway which I personally don’t agree with. Tyson and Erik’s moves were by far worse than that. The general concensus on here was that Erik had the stupidest move while I thought the award should go to Tyson.
America has voted and in another contest of good vs. evil the vote came down to Rupert and Russell with Russell once again winning America’s vote. Not a real shock as most of us like to watch tv to be entertained and that is what Russell brings to the table, entertainment.

Face it Colby – and lose that ridiculous lilt in your voice! – you guys gave her a Christmas present. There’s still time though, you guys can still contact and help her donate away her monies.

trying to compare survivor to a sporting event is wrong. but some people are so invested in reality tv that they grasp as straws. they make up new rules. Sandra is a 2x winner winning 2 million dollars. Russell couldn’t even get one vote. maybe russell and some others could pitch a show to Burnett that follows their rules. Sandra is the survivor queen.
VERY INTERESTING post I found about the whole insider info on Survivor and the politics. I’ve been feeling a little bit funny about the casting for sometime. I do hope they start going back to basics though, like Jeff Probst seems to be pulling for.
quote:
Erika Shay has worked in casting for a number of seasons, since her stint on TAR 5 when her team was the first eliminated. She and Parvati have been BFF onMySpace for quite awhile. Lots of photos of them together.
Parv’s Myspace url is Hot Casting Chick.
http://www.myspace.com/hotcastingchick
Lynne Spillman is the casting director. She too is a friend of Parvati’s.
Russell was recruited by Boo of Fiji. (Supposedly Boo and Russell are co-owners of a bar.) Hantz was originally interviewed for Pirate Master 2, but the show bombed. Boo is an old friend of Krista, she of Big Brother knife in the kitchen fame. Boo brought James to casting as well.
Erika Shay was a senior casting associate for Pirate Master and Big Brother as well. Her credits are on imdb.

WHAT’S BEEN ON THE GRAPEVINE
Back in August, there was a huge Survivor Reunion in Florida, just before the finalists were to fly out. Billy Garcia posted that Jeff Probst and Lynne Spillman were having a big fight because Spillman wanted her protogees on H vs V. Parvati being Lynne’s main gal.
Many people questioned why Parvati ever got a slot on Micronesia. She was like the Danielle or Candice cast member that season, never accomplished anything of note in her season. Her casting connections are why.
Spillman has been big on recruits on the show. Jeff has wanted more “real” people and applicants.
There were supposedly a number of people who were told they were on or almost certainly on S20, who didn’t get go. Ozzy is one of them. Gossip is that he was cut with his bags packed because he was thought to have it in for Parvati. He never made up with her after Micronesia, but James did. Danielle and Parvati are IRL friends, but in a UTR way such that no one discussed them as a dangerous pair.
Many people think Candice was put on Heroes — mutineer Hero, right, she did her best to destroy Aitu by jumping — to avoid the appearance that there was a big Parvati alliance on the initial tribe. Amanda, Cirie, Candice, James — all allies if Parv just made it to merge.
Did any other castaway have casting on their side trying to give him/her a smooth ride with pre-prepared alliances and no major enemies? No.
It gets worse. Parvati flew out to Samoa while S19 was filming. She vacationed there with Erika Shay. There she was supposedly clued in to Russell’s mode of play, which would include that he likes to find a female ally and take her to the end, acting as the perfect goat all the way. All Parvati had to do was become Natalie v. 2.
As for Russell, the only season he supposedly saw before filming was Micronesia. Coincidence or did someone in casting tell him which one to watch. He knew he wanted to ally with Parvati on S20. Also, he and casting knew before S19 was halfway filmed that he would be on S20.
Only problem for Parvati is that Russell got a tad psycho after all those days in the game, and she miscalculated and lost his trust, so that it wasn’t a smooth sail.
There is other gossip that’s been around a long time, and I repeat it only because people who hang out around the LA group repeat it pretty frequently. Take it for no more than gossip. That parv is Bi, like Natalie Bolton (who they tried to cast, who was an alternate for Courtney). And that so is Lynne or Erika, and there has been some casting couch behavior on Parvati’s part from way back when, just not the traditional kind. This is one reason people call her skanky, not for being bi, but for allegedly sleeping with someone who works in casting, and getting Micronesia … just allegations and not something I can say is true or false. What is true is there have been allegations along those lines since Micronesia.
Lastly, Amanda is giving interviews that a mysterious something about this season changed the way she felt about the game and she will never play it again.
Candice and Danielle were asked by RTVW what was up, and they said that they weren’t going to be the ones to comment.
So it is not all internet gossamer. It’s serious enough to where CBS ordered radio silence on it. And like I said, all the players at the Cocoa Beach party last season were talking about the Parv favoritism and the Probst-Spillman rift before anyone flew out to Samoa. It took someone like Billy who will never get asked to play again to spill it on the net. The others are afraid of getting cut from the guest lists.
Lastly, this season they had the cast staying in Samoa and interacting for days before filming started. They didn’t separate them into Heroes and Villains, but they were free to start solidifying pre-game alliances.
Like Stephanie said pointedly at the reunion, there were “like three of us who don’t hang out with these people.” Steph, Tom, Colby were the three I imagine, the ones who don’t go to all the Survivor parties. It’s a big social club now.
Even if Russell had learned how to play nice, I don’t think he could have won this season, because he wasn’t in the club. Parv was supposed to win.
She’s nothing but a welfare queen, which is actually how Clarence Thomas referred to his own mother’s having had the lifestyle of for awhile before she became enlightened.

I agree that Tyson should have been awarded with the most dumb move in survivor history. I am glad that Sandra won. As for Russel, Boston Rob explained the situation very well: Russel plays to reach the final, not to win the game. To be honest, in the end I felt pity for Russel. he doesn’t understand his mistakes and sometimes he acts like a school boy.
Sandra will win against Russell each and everytime. Russell doesn’t fully understand the game. It’s like taking candy from a baby that is how poor of a player Russell was…poor baby he’s probably still crying. Sandra enjoy your million dollars, you rock!
“Russell” is spelled with two L’s, not one, talk about being a school kid. You should learn to spell, yourself. Face it, this is not a popularity contest, that’s the Big Brother show. Sandra IS one big welfare queen and should be helped to give away her monies, this to prove that she’s too proud to accept the kind of handouts that these latest survivor juries gave her.
SACC
LOL – Face it Russy doesn’t know how to play the game. You can whine, cry to your mommy and call The Survivor Queen (winner of 2 million dollars from Survivor) all sorts of names but it won’t change the fact that twice in a row Russy lost…not only did he lose but he lost big-time to a “welfare queen”…he’s a pathetic player with absolutely no finesse, no charisma, and no strategy to win the jury. He can play every season and he’ll NEVER win. Russy is clueless as are a few of his delusional fans. Sandra kicked Russy butt so hard and fast he’s still stewing and crying. Beat by a “welfare queen”…poor Russy.
At least you admit, as I do, that that’s what she is, a welfare queen. She should go back to bagging groceries.

Sandra, if you’re reading these boards then let’s see if you have the courage to reply back. I doubt that you do.

You are a funny guy. You think Sandra gives a rats ass about soar grape losers like you, really? She’s too busy counting all her money, ummm, well, the money you think the little bald man with a missing tooth that hits females in restrooms should have won….haha…you are pathetically funny. He can never win this game, ever. He lacks the skills, he’s lost twice now. He might do better playing a simple game like go fish, much more his speed. The “welfare mommy” kicked his ass so hard to the curb and people cheered and you are still crying. LOL want some cheese with that wimpy whine.
When Sandra can claim that she “won” the game by the same standards that Jenna, Danielle, Chris and Tom the fireman won it then she can claim a right to keep her money. Until then she should do the right thing and turn it down, admitting that she isn’t bright enough to keep it.
By the way, it’s “rat’s” ass, not “rats.” In the example above you were trying to apply a possessive case yet you used a plural noun. It’s also “S-O-U-R,” not “S-O-A-R,” that’s sour grapes, not soar. None of this would make much difference to Sandra, she speaks like she never graduated from the first grade and doesn’t know a subject from an object. “Me and him” is the kind of vernacular that she often applies when speaking in a subject rather than an object case. I doubt that she’s even bright enough to have ever graduated from kindergarten but that doesn’t mean that she deserves two charity case gifts of $1,000,000 each to compensate for that.
