One of my favorite quotes in the game that never made the show was that "Jay is the pirate master, but he wont win the game". I said this because he did play the most aggressively, but I knew that the ghosts would at some point, have a say. A pirate has to be ruthless, but also be loyal to the crew. Given the context of the game, this was difficult, but Jay slightly overplayed, I guess. If I were on the jury, I would have voted for Jay to go to the final because he was a fantastic player. Also, I don't think I was controlled by Jay. I think I did a good job of making everyone think that Jay controlled me, thus eliminating me from taking any responsibilty for anything that happend in the game. Hmmmmmm..... I have no idea why Kendra was so mad. We squashed it later that night. We are great friends now. Kendra is very interesting. Watch her application video on her myspace. Ben and I both had equal access to the wheel. I was studying the clue on the bottom of the box when Ben figured it out. I think the HUGE difference was the carrying of the box down that hill and the wheel up. It was very heavy and he was just physically stronger than me during that part. Ben was meant to win Pirate Master. I honestly believe it. What was your reaction to Louie's extreme Joe Don hatred for the first half of the season? Was it justified? Did anyone try to reason with him or was everyone just happy there was another scapegoat. Louie's hatred didnt bother me because I wasnt a Joe Don fan myself. I didnt like the way he handled being Captain. We all wanted to be paid. Most people felt the same as Louie, but didn't voice it. I think everyone was content with Joe Don being the scapegoat. He never outlasted his reign as Captain. Having said that, I do think Joe Don is a good guy and I understand why he acted the way he did. When I was captain I was all about not making enemies, yet getting rid of the tough competitors. I think I was successful. Boobs question---ahh no. I got on the show through the application/interview process and I did apply to Pirate Master only. I actually went online to apply for the Amazing Race and saw the Pirate Master show application on there. I had a gut feeling that I should go for that and never applied for Amazing Race. I think that what got me on the show was that I was in the Army (and didnt necessarily look like a soldier) and was a stay-at-home mom (and didnt necessarily look like a mom) and that they thought my desire to provide for my daughter gave me a PIRATEY quality in that the other chicks---who were going for my spot (the blonde, boob chick...whatever) didn't have. I also scored high on my iq test. P.S. I cried in EVERY interview!!! I am a very emotional chick, but I am also very physically tough. I guess that makes me...complex. Everyone on the cast compared Louie to Rupert. His laugh was intoxicating.

I assume wardrobe fitted everyone before the show. How much of your own clothes did they allow you to keep during the show? The costumes were actually comfortable. Mine were, at least. We did get fitted before the show and we were not allowed to keep anything of our own in terms of clothing or luxury items. I actually liked our outfits in that they were modern clothing, but looked like they could have been actual pirate clothing as well. Some people had clothes that seemed a little uncomfortable or even hot in that they were made of heavy material. Here are some interesting facts: I had a hermit crab on the show that Louie caught for me on the island. His name was Princess Carl and yes, he was gay. Every morning I did a back flip out of my bed and loudly proclaimed, "This is the best day of my life". Alexis hated this routine and I loved her reaction to it. I found Alexis hysterical. Ben sang almost every day and his music is fantastic. Hear it on his myspace. Joy can also sing her butt off. Louie woke up every morning at 4am to think about his wife. His wife is GORGEOUS BTW!!! I am 6 feet tall and Nessa is maybe 5'2. Her nickname was Little P, for little pirate. WE WERE STARVING (we had about 4 spoons of oatmeal a day and maybe a bite or two of veggies)up until AT LEAST the 8th expedition. I never slept in the captain's quarters once when I was a captain. I didnt want to jinx myself. The expeditions, although you may have found them repetitive, were very long. I lost my contacts in the ocean in the beginning of expedition 2 and did the entire thing...BLIND. I am really blind without them and it was so tough. When I got home I found that I had a broken rib....

As with recent seasons of Survivor, there was too much challenge/strategy footage and not enough focusing on the personalities and individuals. Christa, were you disappointed with the way the expeditions came across on tv? As you mentioned, that was one of the major complaints of the viewers, that they were all too repetitive and boring, but I'm sure the locations and whatnot were beautiful in person and the expeditions were much more fun and challenging than they seemed. About how long did they normally take, and what what was the average time frame for a full round or episode?

As you can tell I just lurk around here, it takes someone really special to make me talk. So , how much $$$$ did you end up with , and what are your plans for the future. For the record, I was really rooting for ya.

Trolls like that should be ignored and you should show your breasts to me. I kid, I kid. Glad to have you here. My question involves Joe Don/Nessa. Have they been romantically involved since they were cut adrift? Also, did he often try to play things up with that hammy sort of tone (ex. "I don't get you, Man") or is that his sort of natural conversational style? Last Edited By: SurvivorSurvivorSurvivor 09/02/07 2:34 AM. Edited 1 times.

It blew major donkey balls. Stupidest shit ever, worst reality cast ever, it all sucked. I still don't know who won, and you know what? I don't care either... Roleplaying and Reality TV do not mix.

What about Big Brother where those escapees from the primordial ooze pretend to be people? Oh, and PM had a good cast and it got better as it went, you sorta missed out. Kind of.

Since I've not seen the last few eps, not being allowed to in Canada, I don't know if you were happy to see Ben win. So, were you? I know I was glad to hear about it!

Sorry that you were on such a shitty "game" show that nobody watched nor respected, Christa. You would have been great on Survivor or the Amazing Race. Anywho thanks for posting and for making the hundreds of horny 19 year olds, on SUCKS, dreams come true by posting here.

Agreeance on the Survivor thought, but I'd expand it: EPMB could simply reassemble this cast, throw them off of a boat and BOOM! guaranteed excellent season for Survivor 17. Which raises another question, Christa: did you ever actually see Mark Burnett? I have a theory he merely lent his name to the show -- it never had his magic touch, and I suspect he let his junior varsity Survivor team run the proceedings.

About how long did they normally take, and what what was the average time frame for a full round or episode When I was watching the expeditions on TV, I was rseeing them as I experienced them, not as an average viewer. The only reason I found that they came across as boring was because I read it on the message boards.The expeditons for the most part were long. I am guessing several hours. The one expedition, I think it was the one Kendra found, by the anchor---was long because WE DUG FOREVER!!! Oh, that was the one when Louie became Captain afterwards. The waterfall in the rainforest, I think number 5, was the longest and the most beautiful by far. I LOVED that one. To be on those expeditions was the most amazing feeling in the world. The scenery was gorgeous and they were just physically exhausting. Also, the one where there was parts of the solar system was a ball buster!!! That hill went UP AND UP AND UP!!! Episodes were 2 or 3 days of time. DICTATORSHIP---I appreciate your being a fan of me and I love your avatar. On Tuesday at 1am EST I will be on a blog radio show called the Convo. I plan on thanking my biggest fans at that time. We saw Mark Burnett a lot. He was there for the final interviews and for a bunch of time during the show. He was definately there and he was a very kind man with a lovely wife. He got us fired up with an inspirational talk at CBS for our last interviews. He is a very charasmatic person. I wish I could get on the Amazing Race. I am putting forth an effort, but I am not sure they are continuing the show. My interview tape was of me driving down the highway. I taped it while on my way to mail it. I never watched it, but I am assuming it was funny because truckers were honking at me and I was flipping them off as I talked to the camera. I appreciate all of the support. I wasnt blessed with the opportunity to give post-game interviews and I just love to share my story with the fans/haters of the show who are interested. I think you all are absolutely wonderful (even the person who keeps asking me to see random body parts, and I sincerely appreciate you asking, but at this time I will have to decline). I am unsure what I will do now. I was hoping the show would be successful and other things would come up. I am a graduate student and I am getting an EdS in educational psychology. My dream would be to host a travel show on the travel channel. I tried out for Survivor three years ago, but I was only half way through a 70 pound + weight loss and didn't make it. I believe that I will get around $70,000 before taxes. Had I finished third, I would have left with around 100,000. If I were on Survivor, I would have also left with 100,000 finishing second. If Nessa went with Ben, I would have also chosen Jupiter. Had I known there would not be a swim, I may have chosen Kendra. I believe that Alexis and Joy did not want to participate in the final.

And they would individually have gotten better editing too, even going by the present Survivor editing standards. Too much time was eaten up by those boring repetitive expeditions. I know they took a long time, Christa, but they just were not that interesting to watch, even edited down. The strategic maneuverings before and after each expedition was better in showing each of the characters. A person having a random 2 minute confessional talking about themselves at the start of an episode before being booted is not character development. I have a theory he merely lent his name to the show -- it never had his magic touch, and I suspect he let his junior varsity Survivor team run the proceedings. Considering the producers and crew behind Survivor were brought on to do PM, which MB was thinking of using as a replacement for Survivor, MB had a vested interest in it succeeding.

I dont feel comfortable to comment on Nessa and Joe Don, because neither of them have commented on that situation. Yes, Joe Don really did talk like that. I find him rather amusing now that I saw him on tv and that the show is over. Being on the show, I don't feel that I got a great chance to know Joe Don too well. I was happy that Ben won because I think he did play a good game. I would have been happy with anyone in the final 4 winning, particularly that blonde chick!!! Kidding, but yes, Ben deserved the win BUT I WILL AGREE WITH YOU ALL THAT INDEED...JAY is the REAL PIRATE MASTER!!!

The scenery was gorgeous and they were just physically exhausting. Which is a shame since most of it didn't really come across in the show. We could tell everyone was tired but the scenery didn't stand out that much. Perhaps they should have done more wide shots at better angles. I am unsure what I will do now. I was hoping the show would be successful and other things would come up. I am a graduate student and I am getting an EdS in educational psychology. My dream would be to host a travel show on the travel channel. I'd watch that. Even though the show didn't do so well, best of luck. I hope you'll be able to find an opportunity to do what you want. I wish I could get on the Amazing Race. I am putting forth an effort, but I am not sure they are continuing the show. You heard something about TAR? Usually being on another reality show doesn't help your chances unless you're a standout on BB or Survivor. Maybe it helps that PM didn't take off.
