    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.
