After watching this, I think it was OK. This season was meant to explode with all the crazy characters and personalities coming together. That's what makes it All Stars. Im fine with all of that. Its good T.V.
BUT...what really annoys me is how people can be so stupid and let an obvious alliance (being rob and amber) control them and pick them off. I mean I think at some points they were even making out in front of everyone else and EVERYONE knew that were together. I think its obvious that they should have tried to vote one of them out. Its just funny that amber won because some of the casting choices were obviously made because their first options told them no. Amber I am almost certain was not one of their first choices to cast. Then she follows that by winning all stars because of a lucky alliance.
So you're going to want to watch this season but expect a lot of stupid decisions. Now if you don't care about that, you will probably love this season. If you do care about that then you will probably be like me and think its kind of entertaining, but mostly stupid. Since it is All Stars it will get second best season but the Australian Outback is still the best. |

Great show; terrible, show-spoiler packaging : Powered by Amazon

I don't need to say more about the show than this: 'It's brilliant! Superb! Thrilling! Controversial!' I loved watching the DVDs, having missed it on television.
And here's the rub...
The packaging is completely stupid! Shame on the DVD producers!
If you make the mistake of looking at the disk or the DVD box before you pop it into your player, you'll experience a show-spoiler... the pictures on the disk and box reveal who was voted off on the episodes of that disk!
I couldn't believe my eyes! The show is supposed to be a mystery. I'm furious at having been forced to avert my eyes every time I put in a new disk.
Okay. Enough ranting. Buy the series. But don't look at the pictures if you don't want to spoil it for yourself.
Blue skies

Survivor at its best : Powered by Amazon

| Survivor is a reality show original. One of the first, and also one of the best. Out of the umpteen seasons that they've had, this one stands out by far as the absolute. It brings back some of the most memorable and successful "survivors" from the first seasons and pits them against each other. If you are a reality show fan, this should be at the top of your list. If your a survivor fan, you've seen it already, but it's time to watch it again. Fun and light viewing. |

When I first heard that they were going to do an All-Star version of Survivor, I was ecstatic. Just the thought of seeing previous players from different season play against each other was a dream come true for me.
(May contain SPOILERS!)
Nothing stopped me from reading spoilers from the infamous ChillOne before the show began airing. I wanted to know a little information before the season started. Yet when the show aired, my excitement did not wane. I tuned obediently to every episode. I was very active on message board(s) for the show. I played the Ancient Voices theme over and over.
Despite other people's dislike for the outcome as each episode progressed, my opinion did not change. I was a fan of AMBER when she was in AUSTRALIA. To see her get far and do well in the game was amazing. I always felt she was underestimated; and it helped her in the game as she was not viewed as a threat.
BOSTON ROB was one of the characters I did not like in MARQUESAS. But I will admit that he impressed me with his (more) aggressive strategy for ALL-STARS. Arguably, he played like what the other ALL-STAR SURVIVOR should've played like.
This season had it all: challenges that exhausted the contestants, amazing rewards (two cars), backstabbing, tribal swap, fights (e.g., Rob Vs. Lex, Jerri Vs. Rupert), dramatic exit (Jenna Morasca), unusual quit (Sue), name-callings, tears, a very emotional final tribal council, a very angry jury, a very tense reunion, and the very first Survivor romance.
This DVD boxed set was ordered here from Amazon and sent to me by a friend. It's very nice to rewatch the episodes in clear quality. I still get excited just by watching the first episode alone (one of the best in Survivor history) even if I have seen it so many times before.
There are cast commentaries for more than 5 episodes. The first group of commentators led by Rob Cesternino are good. The bonus footage are really great as well. The set has extra footage for the challenges, casting, post-show interviews, and even clips that were not aired on TV.
The recap episode that aired on TV is not present here. But the favorite clip from that episode in which Chapera mocked Saboga's first tribal council is included in longer form as a bonus feature.
It's a must-own DVD. Many people have cited All-Stars as one of the truly great seasons before the show arguably became a parody of itself. It's a great season that will leave you with lots of memories. |
