Rudy is the best.
Guess nobody ever told him what "politically correct" means.
Heck, if anyone has earned the right to say whatever the hell he wants, it's Rudy.

I wish they'd actually show the contestants who weren't on the jury. I just want to see what Shamar and Brandon have to say.

Kind of mysterious, isn't it? I wonder what the location is.
The location will just likely be another island somewhere.
We won't have to wait as long as September to figure out what the gameplay change is. The info will be out there before that.

That's what I thought, but the water has me confused.
I'm thinking maybe the contestants come in paired with a family member. Then, at certain points they are given the opportunity to give up the family member in trade for water/food, etc.

AWESOME that Cochrane won. He totally deserved it. Best part for me was he got all the votes. Sherri to Erik was terrible. She should shut up and take the criticism. Dawn without the teeth...eesh...scary!

No surprise that Malcolm won the fan vote. Brenda played a great game as well.

Andrea...WOW!!! Almost made me forget she was a packer fan. It was an interesting camera angle when she sat down after her final vote.

I've already forgotten those pretty girls who were voted off early. Except Julia (not necessarily "pretty"), who had the personality of a sloth.

Andrea is a looker, though. Probably the best looking one there! Plus she has a great taste in sports teams, and comes from my neck of the woods! :D

A well-deserved win for Cochran. He clearly played the best and was able to articulate his case to the jury well.

Phillip rescinding Sherri's membership in Stealth 'R' Us was the laugh out loud moment of the season.

Neither Dawn nor Brenda came out clean after their jury exchange and the unveiling of Dawn's missing teeth. I think they'll both regret their parts in that spectacle.

Blood vs. Water has to be family vs. friends. One tribe with eight family members and one with eight friends. As long as we don't have the Hantz family involved, it should be interesting.

Great finale, great season. Congrats to Cochran! He played to win & truly deserved to be crowned this season's sole survivor.

LOVED the way they hinted at this Fall's theme. Like others have already guessed, it will be contestants playing with/against their own family members. "Blood Is Thicker Than Water" is a German proverb which means: The bonds of family are stronger than the bonds of friendship. Should be a nice new twist to the show.

Just read something very interesting.

Brandon Hantz Banned From Survivor Reunion As Russell Hantz Threatens Phillip Sheppard
"Brandon Hantz won’t be present for the Survivor Caramoan reunion on Sunday, having apparently been told he cannot attend by CBS and/or the show’s producers. Meanwhile, Russell Hantz has threatened Phillip Sheppard, even suggesting he’ll go to jail as a result of whatever he does to Phillip.

The exclusion of a cast member from the reunion would be unprecedented in Survivor history, and it’ll be interesting to hear how Jeff Probst explains Brandon’s absence. If only CBS, Probst, or whoever made this decision had made the same decision a year ago and not cast Brandon on season 26. (That said, Russell actually makes an interesting point in one of these tweets: CBS cleared him to appear on the season, the producers left him on the beach far longer than they should have, and now they’ve decided it’s not okay?)

There was chatter about Brandon’s exclusion from the finale earlier this week, but I wasn’t able to confirm anything beyond that cast members were talking about the possibilities. In a series of tweets last night, Brandon’s uncle, Russell Hantz, confirmed it and assigned blame:"

I excluded Russell's tweets, as they contain profanity. But if you'd like to read the comments with the story, the link is here:

Here's another, more detailed article about Brandon's banning from the reunion show:
(From examiner.com)


"The finale of Survivor Caramoan airs Sunday, and fans want Survivor spoilers. Thanks to Russell Hantz and his Twitter page, fans now have a heads-up that Brandon Hantz apparently will not be at the reunion. Reality Blurred covered the details on May 10.

There had been some buzz about whether Brandon Hantz would be at the Survivor finale given how he exited this season in Caramoan. However, that was all speculation until his uncle, Russell Hantz, started ranting on Twitter. As fans know, the Hantz family can sure go after one another when they're angry, but they usually come to one another's defense in times of trouble with others as well.

Russell Tweeted spoilers that Brandon will not be at the reunion, and he blames that on Philip Sheppard. Supposedly Philip is “scared” of Brandon, so someone in charge made the choice to ban Brandon Hantz from the Survivor finale reunion. Russell, however, claims that he will be there and he even says he has been in touch with a lawyer preemptively because he is threatening physical harm to Philip.

Many viewers have been critical of the decision to bring Brandon Hantz back to the show this season as it is. Blocking him from the reunion is a first for the franchise, and certainly there is more to it than Philip being afraid. Have Jeff Probst and CBS finally learned their lesson about the Hantz family? While they have their fans, the majority of fans seem to prefer other veterans or fresh faces over more Hantz family drama.

However, some worry that this is all part of a set-up for what is rumored to be an upcoming season featuring family partners competing. All of this Hantz drama would be a natural set-up for bringing them back in a new season, given the show's history. Most are hoping, however, that the Hantz family may be crossed off the potential contestant list once and for all. Are you surprised to hear that Brandon Hantz was banned from the Survivor: Caramoan reunion? "
