    Thanks for your support!

    When Colby said, "Decide who goes to elimination" it took the competitive wind out of me. I struggled to get to the individual portion to be faced with a popularity contest. I just didn't feel like contributing to the show anymore. Thank you all for your kind words and encouragement. I did 2 interviews after elimination and they both shed light on some of the issues we have all been talking about.





    And for all you Jamie, Jay and Kyle supporters, we will be having a Steel Challenge at OC Indoor Shooting Range on the 30th. Here are the details:

    Orange County Indoor Shooting Range and Pro Shop


    We will also be having a viewing party on the 26th at:

    1600 N Harbor Blvd
    Fullerton, CA 92835

    Maggie and Kyle will be there!

    RSVP here:



    Thanks again for all your support and I hope to see you all soon!

        To paraphrase...

        Did you hear said conversation? If not then your opinion is moot, you have no place in delineating the line between said and not said. Have you sat in the room during filming when they spoke to each other? No? Then you have no clue what your talking about.

        Until you know the facts, you need not jump to conclusions like most have already done.

        Funny how people can get things all in a bunch over opinions, then get pissy at someone...wait for it...based on a conversation they never heard.

        By the way, anyone else think Joe gets the douche label for "sticking to the plan" and voting for Jamie (who did second best in the falling shoot)? Brian definitely should have been the one booted out this episode.

          Also Jaime was screwed from the beginning. Sorry man I rooted for you and Kyle. Honestly you deserved to get in the final 4. Not Chris or George.

            Is Jamie still in the running?

                This is so true.

                  If you aren't aware of it the host of this show is a former competitor in Survivor.
                  The sad part is that it is not called "Survivor." It is called "Top Shot." At the end of this season, it is unlikely that the best overall shooter in the group will have won because of the butt buddy tactics of that certain group of military boys.

                    Maybe they should rename it "Top Douche bag".

                      Just for the record,
                      Challenges and what type of firearm that’s going to be used during those challenges are all pre determined by taping day/month order.
                      There is NO way production can or could ever predict whose going to be left on which day a particular challenge/arm is used. Chris got lucky where his elimination challenge against Jamie was a shotgun, that being his strong point... But during the competitions, no one nor production "favors" anyone.

                      The teamup gangup crap ruined it for me this season, the producers are idiots. As far as im concerned its a slap in the face for the shooting community.
                      Again, producers have nothing to do with the way the contestants behave or what decisions they make. If you don’t like the "brofest" blame the brofesters, not the producers.

                        True but the producers or decision maker decide who will be on the show. If George expressed the same characteristics as he is on the show then who is at fault for bringing him in.

                          And it's unlikely that any of the winners of any of the 15 (more?) seasons of Survivor could actually survive if dropped in a remote area... or even if the entire group of winners were dropped together.

                            The producers have input as to how the contestants for the elimination round are chosen. Using the current method ensures the strongest and largest groups will force their will on those who are on the outs.

                            Jamie and Jay survived as many challenges as they could but the numbers of "frat boys" practically guaranteed they would be eliminated at some point. Merit had nothing to do with how the challengers were chosen/not chosen.

                              Come on Cokebottle - you don't think any of these past winners could survive on a remote island by themselves

                              J/K...And yes, these were all past winners.
