Since Survivor has dedicated fans who know things like which player was medically evacuated first, there are a lot of debates about the show. Fans of Jeff Probst's beloved reality show who are no longer figuring out which season to watch first love to debate things like which season is the best and who the greatest players are. Another debate is whether Tony Vlachos is the best Survivor winner ever or if the cop who almost got fired from the force is overrated.

Since Jeff Probst is already planting seeds for Survivor 50, the upcoming season has also been the subject of debates. When "Chaos" Kass McQuillen wasn't busy calling Woo Hwang out, she responded to some of Jeff's comments about Survivor 50 by stating her opinion that Tony is overrated.

There have been many returning players on Survivor over the years, but there are several deserving old-schoolers who have yet to get a second chance at the game. "Old-school" Survivor players are considered those who played in the early seasons of the show. Though there isn't an exact cutoff between the old and new-school game, the pre-Survivor: Gabon standard definition seasons are typically considered to be the old-school era.

Survivor has held many returnee seasons with various themes, like All-Stars, Fans vs. Favorites, Game Changers, and Winners at War. There's only been one Second Chance season, however, Survivor: Cambodia in 2015 was the only season so far to feature a fan vote to decide the cast, and the pool of returning players consisted of contestants who had only played the game once. There are still many one-time players who should get another shot.

As an artist Henri-Georges Clouzot was fearless: in the darkness of the German occupation he made a movie about the social crime of informing. Poison Pen accusations destroy trust, bringing out the worst in the people of a small French town. Who is The Crow and how many will suffer before the letters stop? It’s a study in vitriolic misanthropy — the kind of cold observation that Clouzot does so well. At the war’s finish director Clouzot was accused of collaboration, and for a time was censured. Later on, some English critics classified the show as a horror film. It’s certainly creepy enough.

There are multiple Fausts. Ever-multiplying, in fact, as if to outbreed all other fictional characters. The good doctor is unusual: Marlowe and Goethe's plays are both classics, and then there's Mann's novel; at least fifteen operas... In movies, Murnau rules supreme, but I like William Dieterle's The Devil and Daniel Webster just as much. René Clair's La beauté du diable is one of his best films, with Michel Simon and Gérard Philipe trading places as tempter and tempted, both utterly charming in their quite distinct ways. Sokurov just made another, well liked here at the Notebook. But for sheer visual rapture, Claude Autant-Lara's 1955 version Marguerite de la nuit takes the Technicolor cake and runs cackling all the way to perdition.
