'Rob is not really playing the game'
(MSNBC 5.12.11)
Ralph Kiser had his torch snuffed buff burned on "Survivor:
Redemption Island" last night, taking his glorious
man-sweater with him. The hirsute farmer made plenty of
off-the-wall comments (with a Southern drawl so thick CBS often
resorted to closed captioning) during his 33 days on the show
Interview
with Survivor Ralph: 'It shocked me that I went as far as I did'
(Examiner.com 5.12.11)
He'll be remembered as the first person to get the best of

was on the wrong side of the numbers once Matt chose to side

 The
Many Faces Of 'Survivor' Rob Mariano, All Of Which Are Smirking
(NPR 5.11.11)
If there is a face of the competitive reality boom, Boston Rob
is it. Not only because relative to the age of the genre, he's
achieved a kind of permanence usually associated with granite
monuments, but because the fact that he is obnoxious and
infuriating and endearing and funny and
smart and arrogant and so eminently quotable
that he would make a great addition to any team of highly paid
speechwriters is the best explanation you're ever going to get
of how Survivor actually works.

just crazy
(RTVW 5.6.11)
The 51-year-old former NFL player from Huntington, CA talked to
the media about his Survivor: Redemption Island experience --
including what he thinks about fellow castaway Phillip Sheppard
and his allegations that Steve made a racist comment about him,

Julie had a chance to make numerous pivotal decisions in
Survivor. Why did she go along with the plan to throw the

she’s actually a big Russell fan? Why did she admit to
having taken Phillip’s shorts? Was Phillip as crazy as
we’ve seen – or even worse?

dishes on his tribe, his thoughts on Phillip and what will
determine his final vote
(TVGuide.ca 4.27.11)
Who is going to get David's vote for the million
dollars: It’s really a matter of who is playing the best
game. As it stands right now, somebody has got to make a big
move to take Rob out of the driver’s seat. If someone steps
up and does that, that person is going to have a pretty good
chance to win or if someone is able to make it back from
Redemption Island and can make it to the end, that person
would stand a good chance to get a fair number of jury votes
just for the adversity they had to overcome.

With Survivor Stephanie: "David Is
the Smartest Dumb Person I Know"
(Examiner.com 3.31.11)
Stephanie was a tough little cookie, with a zest to

matter of time before they got rid of her alliance one by one,
finally sending her to Redemption Island to face the "Golden
Boy" Matt.

Stephanie seemed more perplexed than surprised over Sarita being
voted out but said she was "very, very happy." After all
of Zapatera's talk about loyalty and trust over strength, she

It usually is an empty gesture, but to get voted out early on
