The title of this post is from a G-Unit song, but it could have just as easily applied to my thoughts on the Survivor: All Starts Reunion-Reunion. I am going to state for the record that I had predicted an Amber/Rob engagement on the first reunion show, but TVgasm was still in its infancy and so there is nobody to corroborate my story. This doesn't bother me because I don't think it was that hard to predict and that wasn't the big surprise anyway.
The big surprise came when Jeff Probst announced that we, the audience, would get a tribal council and be able to vote for any All Star of their choosing for another million-dollar prize. It was a nice little twist to put in their for the All Star edition, and if I wasn't so lazy, I would have probably voted for 
Shii-Ann(we love her here at TVgasm) or perhaps Alicia (hey somebody has to shake up the white bread Survivor one of these days).
Alas, I did not vote, so it was not meant to be. I did, however, yell at the television seeing the predictable Rupert and clueless Big Tom going up against Handsome Rob and Colby for the final cash outlay.
The show itself wasn't so bad, and they did have some nice "viewer favorites" segments. Hottest male went to Colby and hottest female went to Amber, who I thought was the hottest on Australia, although some would disagree. It also brought to screen one of the poorest formed analogies on screen. Johnny Fairplay, who I admittedly loathe, gives us this little nugget "Promises are like fat women and wicker furniture to Johnny Fairplay - easily broken." Huh? Fairplay likes to break fat women and wicker furniture? If anything you would think a fat woman would break him. I'll leave it to you folks at home to correct the analogy.
I feel bad for Jerri Manthey, because it looks like her two trips to the wild have left her a little emotionally scarred. And could CBS and Probst have been any more gutless than to offer the contestants an out since their contractual obligations were gone? Amateur stuff there.
In the end Rupert won, and we got one of his famous growls. If ever there was a suckfest to be had on this earth, it is the guttural call of Rupert. It was fairly predictable for him to win, since he was the most popular two seasons in a row and was on TV 6 out of the last 9 months, but now, we can all hope and pray that his money buys him a haircut, shave, and a decent dentist.
