In honor of the lovely Ms. RC Saint-Amour's 28th birthday, I've compiled 28 moments that occurred during season 25 of Survivor, but never made it to the final edit for whatever reason. And yes, it is true, that you just can't make this stuff up!
1) It's not easy bein' green...
2) Killin' the castaways with cleanliness
While the Survivor’s had to resort to archaic solutions to drying/washing their clothes, the production crew always wore springtime-fresh articles thanks to a state of the art washing machine. Smug bastards.
3) Great balls of fire?
This challenge, that involved trying to knock off the other castaways plate-thingamajig seemed innocuous enough, but the original concept of the challenge involved fireballs and sword swallowing. Needless to say, most of the castaways balked and Burnett went back to the drawing board.
4) Final accusation: RC, with the spoon, in the shelter
Well, maybe. This one might be speculation, but it certainly seems logical. Here, RC is shown pondering which “weapon” could do more damage on her island nemesis. Abi never would of saw it coming!!!
5) Heaven, I need a hug...
RC has several moments where she is seen hugging her fellow tribemates, and while her hugs may be loaded with good intentions, the results of the hugged sometimes leaves one wondering just how powerful RC's hugs really are...
Hugging Mike...
Gives him a zesty hairpiece?
Hugging Pete...
Turns him into a man without a thought in his head?
Hugging Malcolm...
Turns him into Mrs. Freberg?
Hugging Jonathan...
Turns him into the Penner Zombie?
And hugging Denise clearly turned her into a reject from Les Miserables...
6) RC gets assaulted by a bunch of Abi-Marie clones!!!
Well, maybe not literally, but with Abi’s combination of frenetic pitch and robust volume of speech, one can easily see how RC felt completely outnumbered in this scenario…This is nigthmare fuel for the masses.
7) RC’s hands are portals to technology we’re hardly privy to
During her darkest moments at Tandang, she always found ways to stay amused. No joke. We’re not sure how she smuggled in such intricate nano-devices, but she’s clearly watching the movie Diner here. Ahh, what better way to spend a rainy day??
8) Cause you were all yellow...
Yup, there was some serious color saturation that had to be played around with as the bra they gave her was as bright as an army of light bulbs.
9) RC had magical abilities
Sometimes, she just wanted to tune out all that background noise, and she accomplished this with a simple spell that seemingly froze time, allowing her to focus on strategy rather than absorb Malcolm and Pete’s jock jargon. And the producers didn’t think this would make for good TV because…?
10) RC had some fishy friends for support
The playful pals from Finding Nemo were on hand to support RC in this water challenge. She was thankful, but she was so dominant that she hardly even needed the customary “attagirl!!!”
11) Coming out of her shell?
Assuming the vacant turtle head next to her? That would be host Jeff Probst, trying to steal this jaunty moment with the recently booted RC. Thankfully, the production team opted to re-shoot the scene without that large ham trying to steal RC’s tortoise-thunder…
12) RC wasn’t amused at the camera folks efforts to cheer her up
Puppet shows. Karaoke sessions. Celebrity impersonations. Yup, they tried it all to boost Ms. Saint-Amour’s otherwise drained persona during several moments at camp. All failed, but it was an admirable gesture indeed.
13) The life of pie...
That Pete is a joker, but the joke was on him when RC smacked his face with a readily staged pie that was displayed on one of the dessert tables at the Ponderosa. I’m pretty sure that this made RC’s day (or night).
14) Drink the rainbow?
Yes, the fine creators of everybodies favorite rainbow candy was in line to become a Survivor sponsor! Replacing the buoys with giant yellow Skittles seemed like an ingenious form of advertising/product placement. But alas, in the eleventh hour, the CBS-Skittles negotiations fell flat and “ordinary” buoys replaced the confectionary originals.
15) And speaking of rainbows...
Certainly, RC's peace message far predated the "Miss Survivor 2013" pageant...An ability to summon rainbows on cue certainly qualified her to be the ombudsmen of peace that she parlayed for on Rob Cesternino’s infamous challenge in 2013. Clearly, RC was the rainbow that followed an otherwise wet and rainy season.
16) RC wins a sweet bike!
A decent consolation prize, right? Beats your run-of-the-mill toaster oven at least.
17) RC could tame Angry Artis!
Thanks to the summoning of magical fairies, RC found a way to sedate Artis in his angriest moments. It’s really no surprise that Artis is seemingly sleepy or half-asleep whenever he was around RC…
Every little thing she does is magic...
Instant Rip Van Silvester.
18) What was actually written on that parchment?
We were supposed to believe that she was skimming over the idol clue in this scene. But that hardly makes for amusing reading. Turns out she wasn’t actually reading the idol clue but rather, Mark Burnett’s grocery list that accidentally washed ashore. Sweet souvenir!!!
19) RC can’t find a seat for breakfast
It’s no coincidence that the producers were trying to stage several RC/Abi conflicts. Clearly RC was in no mood to mingle with Abi here, and she desperately seeks a chair that isn’t perpendicular to her Brazilian rival.
20) RC’s swimming exploits hardly went unnoticed
Even the mighty Neptune had to rise from the deepest depths of the ocean to observe RC as she resembled the nimblest of mermaids amongst the mighty waves. Talk about a friend in a high (or in this case, a subterranean low) place!!
21) Those camera folks sure have a good time!!!
What better way to break a tense moment than some shadow figures? Tensions and emotions had flared after the final tribal council, and at the very least, RC was amused!!
22) Ponderosa has a water slide?
Shhh. Otherwise, everybody is going to want a ride! RC was such a good sport and she could keep a secret that the masterminds behind the Ponderosa showed her this little private grotto that was hidden from most eyes.
23) Go Fish!!!
Fishing is generally a lost art on Survivor, and gone are the days of Rodger spending hours trying to catch a fish with his fishing pole. Well, in this challenge, RC got bored playing by the rules so she decided to test the waters and voila! Dinner.
24) RC won the annual Ponderosa water balloon fight!
Yeah, she kicked ass. RC got her revenge in many ways at Ponderosa, but whooping the rest of her Ponderosa mate’s tails at this timeless game was icing on the cake.
25) RC found Waldo
RC spent much of the season looking for answers. Answers about why her tribe had turned on her. Answers about how far she actually could get in this game. Well, amidst all of her searching, she discovered the literary hermit, which was an impressive feat…but to be honest, men with canes and bright red/white clothing hardly make ideal hide and seek players in a jungle. Just saying.
26) In RC’s downtime, she helped out the heroes on Lost
Well, it was certainly more entertaining than listening to the Tandang alliance bully her around, right? Clearly here, RC is trying to help Jack and Sawyer locate a radio tower so Naomi can contact the freighter and get them all off the island. RC >>> Kate.
27) RC’s real final vote...
Okay, this is the one thing that never actually happened during season 25. Just thought it would look pretty cool… ;)
28) Life of Pi (Take 2)
Yann Martel’s masterpiece was pretty perfect, but as with any artistic medium, there is always room for improvement. Replacing Pi with RC and the tiger with a leopard was a perfect place to start said enhancements.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY RC!!!!

Happy Birthday, RC! I promise I won't spit on your cake!!! <3
