Editorial Review
Half the fun was seeing who was picked to return, and there were
many tasty selections: original winner Richard (natch) from Borneo;
Colby, Jerri, and Tina from the Australian Outback; Ethan, Lex, and
Big Tom from Africa; and the newest alumnus, Rupert from the
just-completed Pearl Islands. (There were, of course, many
omissions, such as Mike Skupin, who deserved a second chance after
falling into the fire in Australia.)
Right from the beginning, it was clear that this Survivor was going
to be different. Because people now knew each other (from sharing a
previous game, watching on TV, or mixing at Survivor-related
functions), some of the schemers were quickly sniffed out and
snuffed out, and players were more aggressive about creating
alliances (which sometimes overlapped, but hey, it's only a problem
if you get caught).
In addition, because no one wanted to see someone win a second
million dollars, previous champions found that they had targets on
their backs. As a result, there was an entirely new wave of power
players. Along the way there were some surprising and very emotional
developments (which had the unfortunate side effect of killing some
of the show's action) and the first on-screen Survivor romance. In
the end, Survivor All-Stars brought a new twist and some genuinely
memorable moments to a long-running series.
The DVD set adds significant value to the season, including some
welcome behind-the-scenes info on the series as a whole. The bonus
footage consists of much longer versions of each member's
"confessional" after being voted out, and 57 minutes of scenes that
are edited and scored like the regular episodes. Among those scenes
are a tribal council that was never seen on TV and Rob Cesternino's
dead-on impression of host Jeff Probst at a mock tribal council,
which was seen during the season as new footage in the midseason
"recap" episode. That episode is the only one not included in the
set, but with the above-mentioned moment preserved, only the most
hardcore fan would object to the loss of this dead spot in every
season.
Three different quartets of cast members recorded commentary tracks
on a total of 10 episodes, including the final four on the last
episode and the first reunion (the second is also included). They
provide a lot of insight and fun stories, though there's a bit too
much yelling over each other.
There are also featurettes that should appeal to all fans of the
show: how the challenges are created and tested, the casting
process, behind the scenes at the final show, and TV promos for the
previous seven seasons. The individual profiles of all 16 All-Stars
consist of footage of their original appearances, which may help
remind you why they were picked to return, and interviews before the
the season started. --David Horiuchi Jeff
