I thought he threw a tantrum.
And if the jury knew about that, it probably sealed his fate.
Survivor 45
- Thread starter CYdTracked
- Start date

It was but he also took accountability after. I think Jake was under way more pressure than what we know. He passed out several times early in the season, had no real alliances. I thought he played pretty good with the circumstances he was in. I think the order of the vote was right.
He tried to take responsibility but, for me, it was a feeble attempt to put the toothpaste back in the tube. Just not possible at that point. The damage had been done
It was obviously intentional. He tried to play it off the the jury that it was an accident but his body language and intent when he was stomping on it while Jeff warned him says otherwise.
Yeah, him or Sandra. Parvati could be a possibility, she used to host an aftershow for awhile and was involved with some online content. It would have to be a popular former contestant when Jeff decides not to host anymore for the transition to go smooth.I'm not sure how much Boston Rob I could take as host...
I don’t think u have to get a former player. They could get someone that is likeable from another show.
Jake seemed to be his own worst critic, so to get that far and have the dishes fall would have been extremely frustrating. Not the best look, but I certainly get being frustrated.
Oh I get being frustrated too and I would have been too. There are just better ways of letting it out or showing.
I would almost call it destroying production equipment as they do on Big Brother. Jake could really have been removed from the game for it
Fun season after some real duds early on. I found myself pulling for Jake near the end but as others have said he just couldn’t get out of his own way. Dee and others (plural) were more deserving.
Most of all I hope production keeps the 90 minute format going forward. I seem to remember it was a product of the writers’ strike to extend Survivor and Amazing Race to eat up an extra hour. I really enjoyed how much we got to know players and see the social side of the game with that extra time.
Anyone here ever applied for the show? I would break after a week (if I lasted that long) so it’s a no from me

Survivor 46 is slated for all 90 minute episodes beginning Feb. 28th
Beyond that--who knows but, at least we get 1 more.
I agree, I like the 90 minute format
We talked about trying for the Amazing Race a number of years ago, and actually started the application process. But then we started reading the fine print. You had to be ready to leave your job 3 times with no warning: local interview in Chicago, national interview in Los Angeles, and then the actual game. The two interviews took up to five days each, and the game took a month. There were stringent rules on what you could tell your boss. Even if you were eliminated, you were still away from your job. So quite honestly, unless you're independently wealthy, work in a job that you can leave and return to easily, or work in a job where you can always find another job in your field (athletic trainer, bartender, etc), or are retired...participating in one of these reality shows is really not worth it. And now that we're retired, we're too damn decrepit to do it.
I too love the 90 minute format.
Could never do this or any other show.
Like KC said I like many others couldn't survive being out of work for that long. At least survivor is around a month. For Big Brother you have to plan on missing 3 months of work.
Wish I was more into the show when I was younger compared to how I am now. I would have considered applying if I was younger and didn't have a job and family to consider. I doubt my employer would hold my job if I was selected for the show and that is probably the biggest hold up for a lot of people that apply I bet. Not worth throwing away a good job for the slight chance you could make it far on the show. Always said if I made the show the goal would be to make the jury at a minimum as even if you get voted out ots still a nice vacation being on the jury. Being on the show is probably a lot tougher than it looks to us once it's been edited.
My 4th grade daughter is already saying she wants to be on Survivor. We told her if she still wants to after graduating HS that time in her life would be the best to apply as can always take a semester off from college or have a chance right after college when you aren't tied down to a job and marriage yet to make it work. Hopefully the show is still around 8 years from now if she still has the desire to try.

My friend competes in the Amazing race. Said most of the reality show people are either out of work actors, models, and people who have a lot money or time. That’s why not many middle aged people compete. Were to busy with our jobs . Trying to get off work that long is impossible most. My friend was in between jobs and decided to go for the race before getting a job
We were in our early 50s. He was between jobs, but my job would not have been held for me without some sort of pre-planning, and that was the deciding factor.
Totally makes sense. I am not sure if my job would give me a leave of absence or not.
Yeah you get a stipend but I don't think it's as much as you would get from time missed. Plus some companies like mine you have to average so many hours for your health insurance.
