DVD Reviews of Survivor All-Stars - The Complete Season
DVD Review: Promising Start, weak finish
Summary: 4 Stars
I was glad to see some of my favorite players return (Tina, Colby, Ethan, Hatch, Shiian, Lex, Big Tom, Kathy, Rob C., Jenna M, and Rudy). What makes this show so interesting is that every single vote affected the course of the game. If Rudy and Rupert had showed some brains in the beginning and voted off Jenna Lewis as opposed to Tina, I think we would have been treated to a season of All Stars playing like All Stars rather than the cry baby sore losers getting so far in the game because they weren't smart enough to take out Rob and Amber due to the fact that they were too busy taking out the past winners and power players to pay attention. I do think that Rob and Amber played a great game, but the success of the game was based on the fact that niether had played well in their respective seasons and there were winners and other good players to take out.
I enjoy the earlier episodes a lot more than the later ones because my favorite players were still around. We started out with Survivor All-Stars and ended with Survivor: Sheep and whiny Crybaby sore losers
Saboga:
Jenna Lewis-should have been the first person voted off because she was the worst player. Right off the bat, she was determined to eliminate the winners. Which is somewhat understandable, but they were still members of her team. She was very ude about it too. She lucky Ethan played as hard as he did in the challenges. A lesser man would have given her the finger and walked off. Speaking of challenges, Jenna is responsible for her team losing them. Not only did she hurt team unity by ailienated 1/3 of her tribe, but she kept wimping out in the challenges then yelling at people trying to get things done, then had the nerve to blame Ethan who was working on bailing out water while she was just sitting there. It's a shame that a player like her made it to third place in a game call ALL STARS, but hey Rob and Amber took her that far because she wasn't strong enough, smart enough or likeable enough to be a threat. It shows what poor sports Alicia and even two of favorites, Lex and Tom were that they would have voted for a terrible player like Jenna Lewis to win over Boston Rob. I know he screwed them over, but they should have known better than to trust him.
Jerri-should have gone second. The only time I saw her really play was when she tried to get Colby voted off.
Rupert-He's likeable, but I just never jumped on his bandwagon. He seemed to think he was entitled to win Pearl Islands. Um, no one is entitled to win Survivor. You have to earn it by playing the game. Then in All Stars he was too territorial with the fishing Rod, and refusing to give people fish? I'm sorry, but he was the one who insisted on having that task. And most other people had their own jobs as well. Don't get me started on the shelter and the raft. He just didn't want to be told he was wrong on that. Oh and then playing the pity party of being made fun of as a kid then making fun of Ethan trying to catch fish? I was made fun of as a kid too, but I don't cry about it then make fun of others.
Rudy-gotta love him, but he was stupid to keep Jenna over Tina. He said in the beginng there was no reason to vote people out, well how about them being an anchor on your tribe who annoys and ailinates everyone (Jenna). I gotta love Rudy though. his strength as a player is that he says so much with so few words as opposed to Jenna Lewis who says so little with too many words.
Tina-the woman who made me love survivor. A truly smart player who could have been a great asset to Saboga. It sucked to see her as the first bootee. That was a sad day for Survivor.
Ethan-Along with Tina, one of the smartest players. Too bad people were so determined to vote out the winners that they didn't see what valueable allies they could be. I've seen a lot of people say that Ethan rode Lex's coattails in Africa. I'd say that Ethan carried Lex. He was in a good enough position that he could have jumped ship and joined forces with Frank and Teresa and Kim Johnson would have jumped with him. Lex nearly destroyed the Boran Boys club the way he dealt with his ONE vote and refusing to vote for Brandon. Big Tom probably could have ditched Lex too. Ethan had good ideas, but no one wanted to listen. I'll get to that later. It's a pity we didn't get to see Ethan and Tina work as a team because they could have made a good one, possibly even better than Colby and Tina in Austraila. What makes Ethan and Tina the two most deserving winners, IMO is that the Jurors voted for them to win based on the way they had played the game, not because they (the Jurors) were mad at the person sitting next to them.
Sheepera, I mean Chapera
Sue-a She-Hulk in the challenges, but not a great Survivor players. I don't think Rich should have did what he did in the balance beam, but Sue was not the victim she claimed to be, sorry.
Alicia-I liked her better in Austraila. She sat out too many of Chapera's challenges, never thought to make alliances, and just plain did not understand the game. I wanted to puke hearing some members of Sheepera complain about winners not deserving to be there, they had their chance, blah blah blah. It's called ALL STARS, as in great players. Sore loser, piss poor players had their chance too, why did they deserve to be there? Jenna L, Sue, Amber, Boston Rob (who is tough when he's in the majority but pretty whiny when in the minority) I'm looking at you. At least Amber anf Rob made up for their poor playing the first time by playing better.
Big Tom-I love him. His problem in both Africa and All Stars was that he sold himself short. He was too determined to go into the final two with someone who had pissed off the jury. He seemed to think it was the only way he could win. He was too determined to face the jury with Lex in Africa, although in that case, I can't blame him for not wanted to go up against Golden boy Ethan. But in All Stars, he probably could have beaten anyone in the final five, including Rupert. He definately had Lex's vote.
Rob C.-Too bad his rep for being a good player made Sheepera shake in their boots.
Amber-based on her previous season, she did not deserve to be on ALL Stars, like everyone on Sheepera other than Big Tom and Rob C. She did play a great game this time. She played the man who played everyone else. Rob was lost without her.
Rob-he was right to vote out Lex and Kathy and keep Sheepera together. The thing I can't stand about him as a person is the fact that he has a vendetta against guys hotter and or smarter than him. Rob C. is the better Rob. Ethan and Colby are waaayyy hotter than he is.
Mogo Mogo
This was the coolest tribe, unfortunetly they were all great players, thus weary of each other. It hurt them as a team.
Hatch-he was hilarious this season. People may have seen him as a villian, but he did stick with his alliance in Borneo. People seem to forget that.
Lex- I love Lex. He has all the makings for a great survivor player. He's very intelligent, has many skills, and is great in challenges. What he lacks is common sense. He was too determined to get rid of Richard and Colby (and probably Ethan) before the merge that he didn't realize they could have been a great help to him once the merge happened. In Africa, he got votes whenever he didn't have immunity, but in Africa, his alliance had the majority so it didn't matter. He told Ethan that he was keeping Jerri around because she wasn't a threat. Well, Mogo Mogo was in the minority at that point, and when a tribe is Pagonged, it is the biggest threats that go first. And miking the deal with Rob, well that is another problem Lex had in both Africa and All Stars, he can't seem to Fathom that he isn't the only one playing the game. He saw Malice in the vote T-Bird (who should has been in All Stars as opposed to Jenna L or Jerri, she Ethan and Tina would have made a great team) and blamed Kelly caused a riot that not only nearly cost himself the game, but Ethan, Tom and Kim as well. He also said he'd use Friendship to get further in the game, but couldn't fathom that Boston Rob would do the same. Lex continued to keep Jerri when he should have voted her out, then when he finally should have kept her, he tossed her for Amber.
Colby-He shouldn't have told the Sh-devil what he thought of her. He's a good player, but got cocky in tribal council when Hatch was voted out and it cost him. For the most part, he is a good player, but he lets everyone know how good he is. That puts a target on him, which is why I said that Ethan and Tina could have made an even better team that Colby and Tina did. I still love Colby though.
Shiian-She's a smart player, but she should have put her intelligence to a more practical use early on. Like voting with Ethan and Colby to oust Jerri. I know she was mad a Colby, but she could have played him later on. If Lex had gotten angry, Colby and Ethan would have had Shiian's back. Ethan wasn't afraid of Lex in Africa and wouldn't have feared him in All Stars, as much as he said he didn't want to ruffle feathers.
Kathy-a great power player who had people wrapped around her fingers. The only problem was she didn't question Lex enough. I know she valued her alliance with him, but his decisions hurt her in the end.
Jenna M.-I don't care what people say, her Amazon win was well deserved. She's a smasrt player. I cried for her when she lost her mother and wish she didn't have to go through it. She could have been a great player in All Stars were it not for unfortunate extenuating circumstances.
As Far as the extras on the DVD, they were good, but too few. I wanted more extra scenes and to see everyone's audition tapes. The audio commentary on the first four episodes is great. Jenna M., Rob C. Tina, and Rudy, were entertaining to listen to and had some good insights. I'd definately rather hang out with those four than the final four. Rob M, Amber, Rupert and Jenna L were just plain BORING to listen to *yawn* But hey that was the way the season went. Smart, interesting people gone early, boring people lasting until the end.
Description of Survivor All-Stars - The Complete Season
Although these all-stars may be familiar with the show?s premise, a few things have been changed for the show?s eighth season in order to offer some change into the mix. Players were divided into three tribes named Chapera, Saboga and Mogo Mogo, and marooned on separate beaches off the Panama coast where they cope with the most unpredictable weather yet. Promising to be the most manipulative season yet, SURVIVOR: ALL-STARS would not be complete without a little conflict between the players, and this time around, there is plenty of that to go around.. Commentaries on 10 episodes by (variously) Rob Cesternino, Jenna Morasca, Rudy Boesch, Tina Wesson, Lex Van Den Berghe, Alicia Calaway, Kathy Vavrick-O?Brien, Shii Ann Huang, Rupert Boneham, Jenna Lewis, Amber Brkich and Rob MarianoBestsellers in DVD
