Did the comments about Kristina give something away?

He is saying substantially the same thing in other interviews he is
doing today. What I find interesting is that he and MC clearly
discussed Season 42 and concerns about black players being sent to
the jury, but like the whispering session at that one TC, the show
chose not to include any of this in the final edit.-a I think there
was a pretty strong backlash from all the racial talk in S41 and
S42, and the show has learned from that and is making sure it
doesn't dominate the "story" for this season.

The show definitely remembers how turned off many people were by the
racial talk in S41 and S42. Concerning S42, did MC and Jawan forget
that a black person won that season?

As for Kristina, I don't recall them showing or even hinting that she
was part of the jury talk. Do she and Jawan talk at Ponderosa? Is she
next to go? My read was that Jawan was not buying the black players
are being targeted crap MC was selling. He was there to win money for
his family. MC would have fit in perfectly with the S42 cast.

My take is that Jawan and Kristina probably talked about it on the
beach, but it was just never shown.-a As far as I can recall, there was
never any racial talk in the edit, other than the whispering at TC
where they did not reveal what was said.-a There is no reason to assume
Jawan and Kristina discussed this at Ponderosa, which of course would
imply that Kristina gets voted out at some point.

It really sucks they stopped doing the classic Ponderosa videos. In the
old days we would have had a much better idea of what was going on.

Agreed. Only thing I can figure is that the videos weren't getting
enough views to justify the costs of producing and editing the videos.
They stopped doing these around the same time they reduced the length of
the season and made several budget cuts.

BTW, I listened to Jawan's interviews with Rob and Mike today and he did
say at one point that he and Christina had a "long talk in the woods"
about the racial makeup of the jury, so that confirms they did talk
about it.
