Note: I split off all the posts that seemed to be about the "reunion" from the Survivor Finale thread, and merged them into here. On with the show... - Static
The season finale is the first episode that I'm watching this season. Quite entertaining. It's amazing how different they look now (watching the Reunion) than they did in the island. I can barely recognize any of them ...

She's so busy doing an episode of her show in the guise of a reunion that she hasn't even spoken to Gina yet.

What a rip. Rosie didn't even talk to Gina throughout the whole special. At least Sarah spent the whole show leaning forward in her low cut shirt.

Rosie O'Donnell, Survivor Reunion Host: Critiques
This deserves its own thread. How did you think she did as the Survivor Reunion host? Personally I thought she was better than Bryant "Grumble." At least it was obvious that she was a fan. I thought her interaction with the contestants was pretty good if a tad annoying at times. I can't believe that she completely ignored some of the contestants though (Peter, General, Gina). At least Gumble always made it a point to address every one of the contestants. Overall, I give her a B-
BTW, let's not turn this into an "I hate Rosie" thread. There's a whole thread devoted to that already.

Would it have made a difference if I had subtitled this thread "A Very Special Survivor Thread"? ( 
)Seriously though, I know many people discussed this issue among the discussion of the Survivor finale, but I thought it deserved an isolated discussion, especially considering how many people here were upset with her being chosen for the role.

I had mixed feelings. I LOVED the fact that Rosie brought some personality and laughs to the reunion. You can tell she actually watches the show. I felt after the winner was announced and Rosie came riding in, she seemed to take all the attention away from the winner.
She was better than Gumball when it came to atmosphere and fun. Worse when it came to asking important questions and actually asking EVERYONE questions.

I cant believe you forgot to mention Patricia. 
Rosie didn't talk to her. And Gina did talk, when Rosie spoke to Hunter.
I thought she did an okay job. She did the same thing Bryant always did, which was focus on the top 5 people. Personally, I think anyone who hosts the reunion, should speak to EVERYONE, but *I* think most people forget about the people who were voted off 1, 2, 3. Not to mention theres not a lot of material on them. Unlike Debb from the Outback, because of her off the show comments. Heck, she didn't even talk to Rob much, and most people liked him.
nah, he spoke to Kel about as much as Rosie spoke to Gina. 
Rosie talked to Hunter about whether or not he and Gina had some romance, and Gina spoke, Gumble talked to Kel about Jerry and the beef jerky. Not a whole lot for me to get my Kel fix.

She is without a doubt the most annoying person in the history of time. I would rather spend an evening discussing politics with Jar Jar Binks than listen to her.
I can only wonder how many people switched channels, hit mute, or turned their tv sets off all together when Rosie started singing that horrible song last night.
How this woman makes $25M/year doing her own talk show is beyond me.
