Well look at this giant video player.
For years I've wondered what life was like for the Survivor jury. Were the castaways allowed to talk about the game with each other? Where did they stay? What did it look like? Was it fun? Well, during last week's uh-mazing episode, I noticed an interstitial promoting something called the Ponderosa, which promised to give viewers an insider look at what happens to the jury after elimination. (I don't know if this was available during previous seasons, but if it was, this was the first time I had noticed it.) Anyway, I just checked it out, and I loved it. There wasn't anything really groundbreaking there, and the product placement is off the charts, but my curiosity was just so damn satisfied. Every inch of footage totally captivated me. Just the mere sight of a castaway chilling out in a car, walking around a normal kitchen, interacting with staff members in the background -- it was the best!
If you're equally intrigued by this parallel Survivor universe, check it all out at cbs.com/ponderosa.











Thanks for pointing this out - that was awesome.
Now I'm off to see what Ozzy was like when he arrived. This is the best new feature EVER.
Reason #442 why I love B-Side!
Thanks for linking this. I never go to the CBS website but I may go once in a while now just to look for these videos. The product placement was over the top, but it a small price to pay to be able to hear what the jurors are thinking. I wonder if we will be able to have a better idea of how they will vote at the finale by seeing these videos.
You`re the best B-Side!
Thanks for the link B! It was very informative for a Survivor junkie like me, and Ozzy's tape was a good one too. It's nice to know that he was SO sure of his plan that he didn't even BRING the idol to TC. Karma is a bitch!
Why are these videos no longer available? That's the message I get from every source.
