“I knew it was fake!”

by

jaime_72.jpgOn Thursday’s episode, Jaime made as if she had found the Hidden Immunity Idol, only to have Jeff theatrically toss it into the fire and declare it fake in one of the best Survivor moment’s ever. According to her interviews, however, Jaime swears she knew it was fake, and did it for humor’s sake.

Well, WE sure laughed!
(As did James - how funny is he? Seriously?)

Anyway, according to Jaime’s Reality News Online interview, she and Jean-Robert had talked and she knew she was on her way out, so figured that all her attempts to prove that she DID have an HII, knowing she didn’t, had failed to get them to vote for Jean-Robert instead. So she went for humor, and to see Jean-Robert’s face, which she said was totally worth it. She claims to be a victim of editing, that she told them often in her confessionals that she knew it was fake.

And for the record - she and Erik are Just Friends.

For those who still wonder how it is we are in Season 15 of a show like Survivor - whether you love it like I do, or find it part of the trash genre like others, Martin Miller of the LA Times took more then a few words to dissect our love of this Gold Medal winner of ‘reality tv’ - for the fifth consecutive week, Survivor: China won it’s Thursday night time period in the much coveted 18-49 demographic. For the fifth consecutive week, Survivor beat out the media darling America Ferrera in Ugly Betty, as well as My Name is Earl and 30 Rock.

After 14.5 seasons, Survivor is clearly still a force to be reckoned with! (Hear that Mark B?! Don’t take our Survivor away!) The casting has remained top notch, giving us a wealth of people to love, hate, and to love to hate. The editing team works overtime to give us exciting episodes, and the production values have been praised consistently by even the harshest critics.

How long will we have our beloved Thursday night Survivor Fix?

“It’s very difficult to put a life span on something that has gone 15 seasons without people noticeably saying it isn’t any good anymore,” said Holmes, who writes recaps of the show. “I have no idea when it’s going to end. It wouldn’t surprise me if it were on 10 years from now.”

So, let those Torches keep burning, Mark Burnett! We still love to see them snuffed out week by week!
