~ AMAZON CAST REVEAL VIDEO ~ ![]() ~ LINK TO FALLEN COMRADES VIDEO ~ ![]() ![]() ![]() ~ GREETINGS, RETURN TO THE AMAZON PLAYERS! ~ I usually start off with pre-game details 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: ![]() Tyler / "Heidi" - WOW. What an amazing ride this whole game was! When I started playing Brobst games in Marquesas-Redux, I was completely overconfident and had ZERO idea what I was doing. Over the next two seasons I played, Scotland and Japan, I grew and learned from watching other players and self-assessing my own game. At the beginning of this game, I never believed I would be sitting at the end, let alone win. Hell, I never thought that I'd ever reach the end of ANY Brobst game. The players that he casts are SO GOOD and I have no doubt that anyone who took their online strategy to the real show would find themselves very successful. So, I truly do wear the title of Sole Survivor as a badge of honor. Around the time of the de-merge, I really felt like my game was tanked. But then I realized that was the point where my game was really able to take off. I began having to play both sides of the fence & tell many lies that could get me into trouble down the road. Winning the F4 tiebreaker & the F3 immunity challenge were crucial and I'm glad that I was able to pull those wins off — no way I would have been sitting in the Final Two if I hadn't. I tried to stay as under-the-radar as I possibly could for as long as I could. While it might not have been a flashy/big move game, it worked for me & I'm honored to finally be a part of the elite group of winners that Brobst has accumulated over 16 seasons. Thank you all for playing this game & making this experience that much more enjoyable. Winning as "Heidi" was only fitting with eating Oreos & peanut butter after the victory, and that's exactly what I did. I hope one day I'm able to meet a lot of you gamers. If life ever brings you to West Virginia....... I'll have the Fireball ready and waiting! ~ FROM OUR RUNNER-UP: ![]() Adam N./ "Matt" - First, I'd like to thank Brett for letting me play this great game again & for running things around here impeccably. Awesome as always. I always have a blast playing these games. Congrats again to Tyler/Heidi. I hit it off well with you early & you only got stronger as the game advanced. Well done! Not easy to win one of these games. I know I didn't play the perfect game, but I was proud to make it to the Final Two against such an impressive cast. Had some great newbies and some of the best players Brobst has to offer. There really were a lot of great players here in the Amazon, some of whose aliases shocked me. It was enjoyable reading the Confessionals and watching the videos. Always interesting seeing all the different perspectives from the entire cast. Puts all the pieces together...... from what I knew, what I thought I knew, and what I had no clue about. Very creative and informative. Thanks again to everyone. I love the "Brobst family" and am happy to be a part of it. ~ FROM "BROBST" ON THE CASTING PROCESS . . . . Summer games can almost always be harder to cast. There's usually vacation plans to work around, and then this season in particular - there seemed to be more difficulty reaching out to newbies simply due to some new mechanics of the Facebook messaging system. But I think we really ended up with a great crew of newcomers, especially considering some of them are literal first-time players. Originally, this season was going to have six total females, and our returnee to newbie ratio was going to be 10/6. But two female newcomers made it almost all the way to the end of casting and had to back out due to that thing we always wish wouldn't have to interfere - #RealLife. So, wanting to keep roughly the same ratio, I reached out to "Jeanne" & "Christy" since, having only played once years ago, both were still newbies more or less. Sure, I could've had Lane & Lori in those slots, but there's no way I can continue to effectively run these games without having help behind-the-scenes. There are literally not enough hours in the day for me to do everything unless I add wonderful Moderators to the game. Sooooo, for those who play regularly........ don't be surprised if I ask you to help moderate sometime. ![]() There you have it. SURVIVOR: RETURN TO THE AMAZON was underway! ~ AMAZON "TEASER" TRAILER ~ ![]() ~ RETURN TO THE AMAZON INTRO ~

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 things to open up. There will also be some good stuff in the MODERATOR section from the "Jeff Probsts." ![]() |

Ah yes, the good times of when the moderator seemingly has conversations with him/herself. |

Yeah, what Alex said! :lol: And thanks to Brett, not only for organizing, designing, writing, casting, running, & confessionalizing this crazy thing, but also for continuing to point out my biggest flaws.
