  • Survivor: Gabon, typically referred to as the hottest mess of a Survivor season and yet, because of this, Gabon is regarded as one of the most fun seasons ever. With the oldest winner of all time in Bob Crowley, the mean Corinne Kaplan, the maybe he is English, maybe he is not of Ace Gordon, and many people's fan favorite in Sugar Kiper, it has something for everyone. Just like the season being a hot mess, so are a lot of these secrets. Behind the scenes of Survivor: Gabon.

    So I actually did volunteer work for Bob Crowley post season. We talked about his process getting on the show. So what I learned is that Julie from Vanuatu got him recruited onto the show. Julie was Bobs former student in high school. Another interesting fact is that Bob was a last minute replacement for the season, his spot was supposed to be filled by Jimmy Johnson who went on to the very next season. They needed someone else for the older male archetype and he fit it.
    Btw I love bob and hope to do more work with him again. He loves doing interviews from what I know and when he learned I was a superfan he forced me to have questions for him.

She made fun of sugar's job and the fact she was homeless (real classy) and she still has fans meanwhile Candice was only mildly annoying and the hate she still gets from casual viewers is insane. The hate of the homeless by stuffy privileged people is going to be my thirteenth reason.

      It is funny because what makes Corrine's career (which IMO is no different than a drug dealer) any more valuable than the two teachers which is by far a more noble profession. The world will survive without people pushing oxycontin without a second thought it will not survive without someone like Bob.

      @@vannakinder352 I agree with you 100 percent, especially when it pertains to Charlie. Imagine being 29 years old and still seeking the validation of others. Gag. I mean you could expect behavior like this from Marcus or Corinne because both are extremely privileged and it shows. As an ally of the LGBTQ+ community, I know being gay in the 2000s and before was completely unaccepted by society. Even in the early 2010s when I was in high school, I could count only a handful of openly gay classmates and other people were too scared to come out because they saw the bullying that came along. Charlie is poor representation of gay people for his behavior.

      Lot of people like him as a winner. A lot also think Sugar played the most dominant game which I agree with. Personally I dislike Marcus/Onion alliance's weird bitter superiority complex toward Susie & Sugar who outplayed them. Susie would've been a more interesting winner than Bob imo, but he's alright. She made the most pivotal move of the season, blindsided the season's biggest threat and took him out, had the social connections to know the most accurate information, and secured her own spot in the finale by winning individual immunity. Even Randy wishes he tied the vote instead of voting for Bob, just to make chaos. @@londonbordeaux

    I truly believe this entire cast is on the spectrum. I haven't found much info online about this, but if you really pay attention, you can tell. Still one of my favorite seasons.

      If you really think this entire cast is on the spectrum then you're probably on the spectrum.

      @@mildtotemperate Well, it would be inclusive of them and to make sure no one has an “advantage” fair if every cast member was on the spectrum to some degree. Not all ASD presents the same. My comment isn’t an insult, I think it’d be incredible and a testament to how ignorant the general population is when it comes to ASD.

    Do I look unfavorable to Bob not thanking Randy? No. Randy was horrible.

    As a kid I was a big Sugar fan but today I am #teamcorinne. 😂 She is hilarious! She and Eliza are maybe my favorite Amazing Race team ever! Their exit is the best. 😂

      I hope you never experience homelessness because she mocked Sugar several times for it. Fitting only people I know who like are white and well off, fitting.
