Jimmy Johnson
What do you folks think of Jimmy Johnson? I'm not a football fan at all, although I certainly have heard of him.
I'm quite impressed with his leadership ability so far.
I think Jeff is right on target for calling out Marty and Jimmy T on their envy of Jimmy J, here and here.
Now, to whet your appetite before Wednesday, be sure to check out the CBS site for videos and other features.
And as always, please feel free to post Survivor related items to this thread.
This is a new Survivor ping list. The old list is no longer available, so I would appreciate it if any of you could ping interested parties to this thread. Thank you. :)
If you wish to be added to or removed from it please let me know.
I will be handling this thread on a temporary basis only.
Of course JJ is a leader. He’s a pro football coach. His career is all about motivating people. I like his role in this game. Looking forward to watch Weds with my sweetie..
I’m both a football fan and a Cowboy fan. IIRC, Jimmy was a psychology major and of course we all know he can motivate. He also seems to use common sense - unlike that emotional mishmash the younger team has fallen into.
I'd love to be on his team if only to be able to talk football, sports and life in general.........The guy is a winner in his life and a respectable person.
As far as the competitions, he'll be a great motivator.......
For the record tho, he looks OLD without his Sunday suit and make-up...........LOL!
I hate that he’s on the show. He comes in with a distinct advantage over the others BECAUSE everyone knows him. That’s just simply unfair. Of course the weaker tribe members gravitate to him, they feel like they already know him.
I don’t think Marty and Jimmy T envy him; I think they resent him. And rightfully so for the reason stated above. They have things to offer the tribe but the other duffuses gravitate to the “celebrity,” diluting their ability/chances to form bonds and establish value as a tribe member.
Don’t get me wrong. It’s nothing personal against JJ. I think it’s bad casting by Survivor. If JJ was one of a whole competition of celebrities that would be OK. Pretty much a level playing field. But this is not in keeping with the spirit of the game.
How many people will be on his side bec they are Dallas fans?
How many people will be on his side bec they are football fans?
How many people will be on his side bec they DON’T want to be known as the guy who voted the football “hero” off?
How many people will be on his side bec they worship “celebrities”?
I hope he’s the next to go.
I like Jimmy J. I’m not a football fan, never have been and never will be. I like how he motivates his tribe before the challenges and how he carries himself around the camp. I’d like to see him around for a while but don’t see that happening. We’ve already seen how early on this game was hard on him health wise. I don’t like Jimmy T or his attitude ditto for Marty. I think their egos are bruised because they don’t have the charisma that Jimmy J. has and it’s screwed up how they planned on playing this game and where they thought they’d stand with their tribe. Most of all I despise A-Hola and want her gone like yesterday.
