~ BANGKOK CAST REVEAL VIDEO ~ ![]() ~ FALLEN COMRADES VIDEO ~ ![]() ![]() ![]() ~ GREETINGS, ROOKIES & VETERANS OF BANGKOK! ~ I usually start off with some pre-game stuff and thoughts about finding the perfect cast for each game. More than you could imagine goes into getting these sagas up and running. But before I get into that, here's some statements from our Final Two . . . . . ![]() ~ FROM OUR WINNER: ![]() Jared / "Brendan" -- WOW! It was already fantastic to play for 46 days...... but to win the title is such an incredible feeling. I've been riding this high all week. It's been awesome to read all the Confessionals and see what was really going on in everyone's head. I love that everyone was playing so hard. This was such a crazy game all throughout. It was a huge learning experience for me and I'm so proud that I can call myself the winner. I had an amazing adventure and I can't wait to do it again someday! Huge thank you too Brobst, and a huge thank you to everyone who brought mad game! ![]() ~ FROM OUR RUNNER-UP: ![]() Emily / "Jay" -- Hey Everybody!! I know I've said this before, but this game has seriously been a blast! Everything from getting your login information for the first time (remember those butterflies??), to the first fake-out Tribal Council, to the double-boot leading to the swap, the chaos at the merge, all the way to the Final Tribal Council and the Cast Reveal (surprise, Jay's a woman)! ![]() I'm so glad I jumped into this game head-first and it has exceeded what I thought an online Survivor game would be like........ all thanks to Brobst and the cast! Bangkok had some awesome strategists, wheelers and dealers, gamers, and...... friends! Y'all impress me! I haven't caught up with all of the Confessionals yet (there's this thing called sleep I've recently been trying), but don't worry! -- I have the popcorn (and tissues) ready, and I'm already taking notes for how to improve if I ever get a 2nd chance. Like I said before, I'm trying to be a student of the game, and you all are some pretty dang good teachers! Thanks Brobst for taking a chance on us rookies, and for casting a serious group of vets for this season. I have never met you, Brett, personally, but I feel like after reading your witty and sarcastic "Start to Finish" Confessional -- you and I must know each other from a past life........ and you need to get on the real show already! Seriously, whats up with that!! Special shout out to Brendan and Flicka who made up the -- BEST FINAL THREE EVER -- and who are awesome friends. And anyone heading in the general direction of Florida, feel free to hit me up! Hats off to everyone that made this experience the wild ride it was. ![]() ~ FROM "BROBST" ON THE CASTING PROCESS . . . . The challenge this particular time was in casting players who had NEVER played an online game before. A lot of veterans just assumed that the rookies had played before, but just never in a Brobst game. Not true. I had thought about that possibility, but I realized that this season needed to be EXACTLY what it was intended to be. Returning players against TRUE FIRST-TIMERS. I ran into a few snags here and there during the months I was casting the rookies. I had what I felt was a locked in cast maybe half way through. But then one player told me he wanted to try some "other" game. (on facebook for crying out loud) And he knew that having played games before this one started would disqualify him. I told him point blank that he will not like these games on facebook and that they are not well run at all and that it will not be a good experience for him. He told me he wanted to do it anyway and that he was dropping from our cast to go do that one. True to form, several weeks later, I hear about how awful that game was and how bad of an experience it was for him. I guess some people don't know a good thing until they've tried a bad thing. So I quickly got that slot covered, and once again had what I thought was a locked in cast. And then a couple people made it almost all the way to the end, and then they began to be very hard to reach in a timely manner. After a few attempts to reach them to verify their participation, I knew it was best to open up those slots and start over on a couple roles. But it's such a hard process sometimes. And no other host does all this. I don't just take a "Sure, I'll play" as the gospel truth. You have to prove to me that you're serious and will take the time on Casting Questionnaires & Confessional Tasks long before the game starts. And even with all I go through, I still missed the mark on some. But I feel very good about the vast majority of the rookies that we had this season. And veterans...... y'all know that you were just insane with all that crazy stuff happening on early rounds, he he. ![]() There you have it.

I am glad to make the rookie cast.... this has been quite an experience! Brobst, you run quite a game. And....
Jay, I love you! Even though I know you're a chick. Two great people to play with until the very end.

Woooohoooo! To my fellow veterans: dear gawds, you had some whacky ideas about what I was up to (even if some of them were actually my whack gettin- -up-tos), but I have to say, every time I play a Brobst game I'm reminded of the sheer skill and talent that I'm up against, every. single. time. |

N O T E : I tend to wait to open up the Jury House, Ponderosa, and original tribe sections until after our "REUNION SHOW" has wrapped so that there's still some reading material to get through. I know how people can start to have that "after game withdrawal"..........which is why I save some stuff to open up. ![]() |
