For The Uncompromising Uncommon Sports Fan

Will the jury be a bunch of bitter bitches intent on punishing the most deserving and rewarding the least offensive? It certainly wouldn’t be the first time.

Stealth-R-Us.

Phillip is pure gold. Straight out of the river bed.

If there has ever been a more fascinating Survivor contestant, please share.

REDEMPTION ISLAND BEGINS AGAIN

Yes this was in the plan from the beginning. Redemption Island was going to resume immediately after the merge. In fact, when we pitched CBS one of the scenarios we gave them was the person on Redemption Island could earn their way back into the game and then be voted right out again. But nobody imagined that one guy would win six straight duels get back into the game at the merge and be the first person voted out again.

ROB OFFERS A CLUE TO THE GODS

Rob tossing the clue for the idol into the active volcano was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.

Rob is so in control I think he even yelled to our camera operator, "We gotta move" as if to say — if you want to get the shot of me trading out the idol notes, then you better start running, because I have no time to waste!

Nobody integrates product as well as we do. Last night you watched an incredibly dramatic challenge that was built all around tools from Sears.

Historic Moments in time:

Jan. 10th , 1935 Canned Beer invented

May 6th, 1954 – First Sub-Four Minute Mile

July 20th, 1969 – Apollo 11 lands on the moon

March 2nd, 2011 – Russell Hanz voted out of Survivor: Redemption Island

Philip is a real life version of "Del, the shower curtain ring guy" that John Candy played in Planes, Trains and Automobiles.

It’s late so this will be short:

FABIO WINS

I’m delighted that Fabio won. He was the clear audience favorite. The crowd in the studio went wild when his name was announced.

When Chase came back from the reward, I really respected how honest Fabio was about how he was feeling. He was trying so hard to be "fair" about his frustration but he knew he needed to share that frustration with Chase. Fabio grew on me a lot with that exchange. I didn’t sense any game play, just a guy trying to get something off his chest and then go kick some ass in the next challenge, which he did.
