TNA's Johnny Fairplay try to win a million dollars by
outwitting, outplaying, and outlasting fifteen other
contestants. He didn't win, but he did a great job of
lying.
From AMAZON.COM:
The seventh season of Survivor made a legend out of Rupert
Boneham, the most popular contestant in the history of the
kingpin reality show. Was it because the giant bear of a man
harbored a gentle personality, expressed in his job as a mentor
for troubled teens? Was it his tie-dyed shirt and makeshift
skirt? Or was it just good fortune that the season was set in
the Pearl Islands of Panama, which allowed black-bearded Rupert,
in the very first episode, to steal the opposing tribe's shoes,
all in the name of the pirate theme?
But the season wasn't
only about Rupert. It got off to an unusual start when the 16
castaways were tossed overboard wearing their street clothes and
left to find supplies in a small village. There was
Armani-suited attorney Andrew Savage straining to support a load
of sand bags, muscular Osten Taylor making a surprising decision
that inspired host Jeff Probst to alter his tag line, Sandra
Diaz-Twine sneaking around in the bushes, tall blonde Christa
Hastie in tears after being accused of throwing away fish, and
Jon "Jonny Fairplay" Dalton pulling off a dirty trick and
becoming one of the show's great villains. Other memorable
contestants included athletic Burton Roberts, sexy mortician
Darrah Johnson, and Scoutmaster Lillian Morris. Then when the 10
remaining people in the Drake and Morgan tribes expected a
merge, an unprecedented twist prompted one castaway to declare,
"Revenge, baby. It's all about revenge." Bonus features consist
of commentary on two episodes by the team of Rupert, Sandra, and
Christie, and on three episodes by Jon, Ryan Opray ("Ryan O."),
Burton, and Andrew; a 29-minute season recap featuring new
interviews with a number of contestants; and clips from each
person's pre-game interview intercut with in-season footage that
either supports or undercuts their plans. --David Horiuchi
