Anyway, I was sickened that Dreamz also didn't give the immunity necklace to Yau. But Yau is such a great guy that he's not holding a grudge against him. I'm sure Dre's heard of a thing called Karma, though. If it wasn't Yau, then I'm glad it was Earl. And BOY, did Earl look 15 years younger at the reveal/reunion last night than he did on Thursday's episode!!!!

Yes, it was good drama and all but it disturbed me when he said in front of Yau Man that he never intended to keep his word about the truck. In my mind he is nothing more than a common car thief....

Originally Posted By cstephens We know exactly how much Dreamz' integrity was worth - about sixty thousand dollars. That's the value of the truck, right? He sold his integrity for exactly that amount. I was so disappointed in him for that. And he never admitted to backstabbing anyone. "Well, if you want to call it betrayal, then I guess it was, but I think it was more like lying." And no matter how many times they tried, and no matter how many times *Jeff* tried, they couldn't get a straight answer out of him. I think that's part of the reason Yau Man voted for Earl - Earl admitted he voted Yau Man off because Earl couldn't beat him. At least be honest about what you did. He also seriously didn't think it through. There was no way that Edgardo, Mookie and Alex were going to forgive him for what he did, even if they didn't have proof until final tribal council that he was directly responsible for them all being voted off. And he certainly wasn't getting Yau Man's vote. 4 of the 9 on the jury are automatically NOT going to vote for you. If he'd given up the idol, he would have had the truck and his integrity. He could have tried to make a deal with Yau-Man and Earl to vote Cassandra off. He could plead his case that he deserved to be in the final three rather than her (which I don't believe would be a hard case to make) and that he's not a threat to win it all because at least three of the people on the jury would never vote for him and he knows that he really can't beat either Yau Man or Earl. I loved hearing people in the audience yelling "Give the truck back." I loved seeing Dreamz and Cassandra both getting raked over the coals. Cassandra's whole "I tried to be a friend to everyone" was total crap, as was her constant non-answers and not doing anything in challenges. I expect to see Yau Man back on the next all-stars.

Originally Posted By hightp So who came in 2nd place? There's $100,000 on the line, and since neither Dreamz nor Cassandra got a vote, do they split the cash, or each get 100K? I don't remember hearing anything about it.
Originally Posted By gottaluvdavillains There was a nice article in our local paper today about YauMan (he lives near me). He said Dreamz and Cassandra both came in second and got $100,000 each and he was considered third and got $60,000. He also said he only has hybrid cars so he wouldn't have wanted the truck anyway (he said he would have liked the Escape hybrid) - but since he never took possesion of the truck or it's title he wasn't responsible for the taxes on it either - so there you go again for Dreamz the taxes on the truck and the $100,000 should leave him scratching his head>>>>

Originally Posted By velo I don't think either of them should have "won" anything. And yeah, it would be interesting to see where Dreamz is in around 6 months.
Originally Posted By smeeeko I was wondering why they never mentioned the 100k to anyone on the Early Show.. I guess it would be uncomfortably weird to be handing out those big fake checks to people who never got any votes. The thing is I can't see anyone who lives in the UC Berkeley area wanting one of those BIG trucks when there's really not anywhere to park the thing, (not sure where Yau is livng but if he's close to campus or in the city (SF) then having a big truck like that is really a hinderance more than a plus). That and the gas to fill the tank.. yikes.. Dreamz can at least sell the truck and pocket what is left.. No one on the Early Show or Jeff at the live reunion thing ever asked him if he got a license yet. I'm thinking he hasn't.
Originally Posted By Lisann22 Guys you realize that every contestant on Survivor gets paid something.

So while you might not be thrilled that either Cassandra or Dreamz got a $100k they shouldn't have if one of them would have gotten a vote, then that person would have been paid the $100k, the other $60k and Yau-Man less than the $60k. They have NEVER had the second place or anyone lower handed a check on the Early Show. So I really don't see the big deal. Yau-Man at least got a bit more cash than he would have if the cirsumstances were different.
