How is that a sacrifice? She was actually better off than the other five contestants because she got several hours of alone time with her loved one. Lol @
calling it a "sacrifice." They should have made her go to Exile by herself ala the car reward in Guatemala.
On the flip side, it gave Eddie George screentime. "Her being in tha jungle is a turn-on, a'ight!" |

I was thinking we were in for some GREAT TV last night when she was going to be forced to either give up her visit with Eddie for the tribe or keep it and piss
everyone else off..... but ya, the sacrifice was LAME. Had they just said "if you choose to send yourself to exile, we'll let the whole tribe see
their families", but they made it seems like so HUGE sacrifice that Taj had to make.... it was an obvious no-brainer and not much of a sacrifice at
all.... BOO!!! to production and Burnett for that lame-ass "sacrifice"

Survivor is soft. When was the last season where only 1 or 2 got to see their loved ones, instead of every contestant?

Kathy won a Snickers bar and a scube dive, i mean, those were enough back then! I also hate that when you win now, you ALWAYS get to pick AT LEAST one person and alot of times 2 others to go with you.... 
I miss the days of Survivor where everyone was seriously starved... JT has had like a feast every other day since the merge. I think what happened was that the producers decided to keep the contestants better fed so their energy is higher in hopes camp life is more active and and people play the game harder to make the last 10-12 days from being so boring.... but I wish it would go back to how it used to be

I agree. It's not really Surviving if you get fed a 7 course meal every other day.

Think about it from a recruiter point of view. Mactors are more likely to agree to be on the show if there is little suffering involved. Am I right?

In the very least Eddie being at exile should have been a surprise. And the weight loss isn't even a lot anymore. JT looks fatter for crying out loud. And
Sierra lost 11 lbs and Debbie a whole six lbs.

So right, TiT. It seems the producers are really fearful of hurting anyone or causing TOO much discomfort. WTF?? Isn't this Survivor anymore? It's
kind of like "BAD CAMPING EXPERIENCE" tv. Is it just me, or are the challenges pretty lazy, too?? I mean, sliding disks on a table? Digging a hole
in sand then rememberizing some math symbols?? Uh, hey...bring back the hard stuff! The producers obviously went out of their way to get players who are in
relatively good shape...USE IT!! Taj is the fattest person out there this whole season and she's tough enough! Kind of wimpy, if you ask me. Maximum
Coach hate, just sayin'...

And remember the night challenges??? There was usually 1 or 2 immunity challenges that took place at night. Those were awesome, changed up the monotiny of
everything....

I got the impression that the Dragon Slayer thought she didn't get to visit her husband on exile, and Taj didn't correct him. Didn't the douchebag
say something about Taj sacrificing her visit so others could see their loved ones?

Agreed. This was the most obvious choice ever and was DEFINITELY not a sacrifice of any kind.
Although how hilarious and awesome would it have been if someone actually rejected Jeff's offer? How big of a douche would they be?? hahaha |

I am so fucking sick of the family visits on this show, it was the biggest waste of 26 minutes. These people crying because they haven't seen their family
in 3 weeks is truly pathetic. They should have made Taj either have the choice to see her husband and not letting anyone else see their family. What was that
shit that she had to go to exile with her husband, that was bullshit. Nobody else should have gotten to see their family.
Stephen crying like a bitch when his lover showed up was also terrible, it made me nauseous and I fast forwarded thru most of the segment. |

Taj's biggest sacrifice has been her giving up 5 square meals a day. This experience has been better than Jenny Craig for her, she should do this at least
once a year.

1. Survivor is now a pussy show. No sacrifice and they eat better than some Americans.
2. All that crying over missing a family for 3 weeks? What a joke. I missed my family after a month, but I just hugged them. I don't remember peeing in my pants at the airport. |
