I just wish that Jessica deBen could have lasted longer. She reminded me of a younger Sara Evans. And that ain’t bad!
cuz —
Dre’s whole “I was tellin’ people about how I was homeless to show them how far I’d come!” Oh horse pucky! He was looking for the sympathy vote in a final 2/3 situation. “Let’s give the money to Dreamz! He’s suffered so much.” Too bad it didn’t improve his character. He mentioned being homeless and his crackhead mama every chance he could. Smarmy doesn’t begin to describe it, cuz!
Just once, I wish these dregs would have to face AUDIENCE questions at the reunion show. Probst is an improvement over the days of Bryant Bumble and Rosie O’Donut, but some of these crapasses are sooo getting a pass for their behavior.
“...He mentioned being homeless and his crackhead mama every chance he could....”
He had as much class as Johnny Fairplay from a few seasons back. Both of them could take their act on the road in Dreamz new 350,(as long as he has it).
Hell, I give Fairplay more credit - he got a friend to say “Grandma died” to get sympathy from the jury if he made Final 3 - and frankly within a week he’d pretty much gone back to alienating everybody (hell, if I recall, Sandra didn’t even believe the whole grandma thing). Fairplay didn’t make a deal and promise the handing over of an immunity necklace in exchange for a tangible prize like a $30,000 truck.
I guess Homeless Dre didn’t realize that the truck he drove in the jungle was a prop. Would love to see Ford deliver the truck to Yau Man’s house in Martinez, CA and tell “Nightmarez” to pound sand - that the truck goes to whomever won the challenge and it’s up to that individual to turn it over to someone else.
I’ve seen on other sites where it’s been suggested that technically, Dre was not in breach of contract when he didn’t turn the necklace over because it’s a game. You know, I’d beg to differ - it was a verbal agreement - “I’ll give you the truck and you will turn over the immunity necklace to me if you win it at F4.” Offer - acceptance. Dre didn’t live up to his bargain and should therefore turn over the truck to Yau.
Of course, after looking at his integrity - Dre may need that truck to use as a permanent address six months from now. He may have had people saying “hi” to him on the street before, but after last night and the “BOO’s” he got, he may encounter something completely different, including parents saying they really don’t want him coaching their kids.
Since the cote was a shut-out, does Earl get the 2nd place $$$ also?
Let’s see...Yau Man has to pay income taxes on the truck..then the gift tax on giving it to Dreamz..
There was more to Boo than I saw in this game. After all the snarky comments that the others had to say beforehand, it was what Boo said that had me saying "whoa". I wish Boo well in life ... sounds like he's already heading in the right direction.
I think they knew. What they were looking for was honesty. Mookie even told them that.
Jessica is a beautiful girl. I’m glad to see that Erica changed her hairstyle. Everytime I looked at her I was reminded of a revolutionary from the 60’s. I hardly recognized her last night.
The 3 horsemen were laughing when Dreams reneged on his agreement during the final tribal council and looked like they were very happy that Yau Man was tricked.
That is why I thought that they may have been clueless to the fact that Dreams sold them down the river. If they had known wouldn’t they have looked disgusted with him?
Also if they knew why did they ask Earl who ratted them out? Earl certainly wasn’t going to lie at that point to protect Dreams.
Yet they still didn’t vote for Dreams. Even if they had been impressed with his trickery he didn’t get their vote for the million. They looked so smug during tribal council up to that point I was afraid they were going to vote for Dreams.
Maybe I misread the body language. I wish Jeff would have asked one of them about it instead of wasting so much time on that loser Dreams.
I agree, Lisi and Alex made absolute horses rears of themselves, pitiful.
Actually, I believe they will combine the 2nd and 3rd place prize winnings and split it evenly between Cassandra and Dreamz.
Do you know what the $$$ amounts are for 2nd, 3rd, ?..also..do the jury members get any $$ as paid performers?
In addition, every player that attends the cast reunion show is compensated with an additional $15,000 along with paid airfare and hotel accommodations for themselves and one family member.
Thanks for the prize winnings breakdown. Never knew how much they got for bottom half of players. And did not know that they got that much for the reunion show either.
WOW, I’m still pissed about Yao not getting the Truck
From the 'Reunion' episode, Yau-Man was a bit too kind. He should have been more blunt: what Dreamz did was extremely low. Also, he was squeezed in between Boo and Dreamz with their legs so wide apart that Yau-Man had only a little room. He leaned a bit more toward Boo and away from Dreamz (just observation).
Earl should stick with a beard. Either a shaved face makes him look fat, or he got fat since returning from Fiji.
'bye.
This is some time after you posted this, but anyway: for Dreamz there definitely could be a racial element to it. Potentially even for Cassandra. Earl seems to have a generally ‘level’ view of race, though.
