I know there is a God because these two jerks were not cast for All-Stars. Nor were they asked, and Jonathan is insisting on any board who will still let him post that it isn't All-Stars if they aren't on it.
Famewhore doesn't even come close, does it?
"We told her about how the show works and how you'll be a little isolated. It was just too much for her. "
Wait a minute! She didn't know what the show is about? Are they just picking people up off the streets? Instead of recruiting people they need to go back to picking people who make an effort to get on the show. People who really want to do it. That's when it was the best.
I couldn't agree more! However, you'll never get them to agree to that.
One more toothpaste challenge and they're fired. Perm project manager? Brains are going to figure out - hey, if I don't make this jerk lose, I'm never going to get to show my stuff and I'm going to lose. I think this will work out to be a fantastic twist - to get rid of your present boss, you gotta be willing to basically sacrifice your home and start again. Now the 'get a pass for next week' dealie -- that's something that I don't get, but am willing to watch next week and see what happens.
Are any of Trump's past apprentice hires still on the job and doing what they were supposed to be doing?
Interesting pair of questions there - most, I believe, are still employed by the Trump organization in some capacity or another, but I'm not sure if there's one still doing what they were 'hired' to do.
That was you? Oh no, I can imagine what you thought at my answer, lol.
That's interesting. I do miss George. I'm still on the fence with the daughter, however she did get to the point with her questions, whereas Trump couldn't get past the color pink. Yes, it has jumped the shark with the tents nor is Trump going to give a second thought for the winning leader's opinion.
No blondes. Except maybe the gray haired guy used to be blond.
Crap - checked the replies and didn't see it had been answered.
Yeah - she was afraid she'd overeat and put on weight.
Kelly, Colby, Kim J., Neleh, Clay, Matt, Lil, Rob M., Twila, Katie, Stephanie, Danielle, and Ozzie.
Has anyone noticed that Jesica Deben looks sort of like a young Sara Evans? And that's not bad.
BTW, she's the one on the left of the back row.
Not having an alternate before going out there was STOOPID on SeeBS's part. They could give the alt's a set of parting gifts once the game has started without them, or promise them a second shot on the next one. For a few thou$and in travel and gifts, this kind of insurance is cheap.
I didn't know the distinction either. I had to look it up at dictionary.com. Hardcore is more explicit than softcore. And from what I read [am I ever sorry I looked him up], Ozzy was hardcore - really repulsive. Interesting how you had two such completely different character-types in the final two - a Stanford-educated lawyer and a porn star.
Greetings fellow Survivor fans! I promised the players bio’s and my pre-season picks so let’s get started.
I’m going to base my pre-season picks on the assumption that they are sticking with a nine member Jury and a Final Three vice Final Two Tribal Council.
The players in alphabetical order are:
Alex Angarita is this season’s token Lawyer, having received his “Juris Doctor Degree” from Harvard Law School. He is reasonably athletic and describes himself as assertive, witty and personable. His favorite “Adult Beverages” are martinis and scotch.
Cuz says: I picture Alex as a “leader” type player. One who makes the decisions for the tribe regarding who to boot and who to keep. Alex is my first pick for making the final three.
Anthony Robinson was raised by his mother and grandmother before earning his Bachelor of Arts degree in American Studies from Yale. He is “somewhat” athletic and describes himself as friendly, dorky and intelligent. His favorite “Adult Beverages” are Vodka martinis, Rum & Cokes and red wine.
Cuz says: If he can keep up a friendly, jovial attitude without resorting to playing the race card, he should make the Jury.
Kenward "Boo" Bernis is a construction worker by day and manages the bar he owns at night. He has a Bachelor's Degree in General Studies from the University of Louisiana in Lafayette. He describes himself as strong-willed, outgoing and adventurous, while stating he is a “cerebral” athlete, a great problem solver and strong both mentally and physically.
Cuz says: I sorry folks, but any male who first of all refers to himself as “Boo”, second, claims that his favorite music is “Queen” and third, admits that his favorite “Adult Beverage” is a Strawberry daiquiri, doesn’t exactly come across as a “Good ‘ol Boy” from the deep south, if you know what I mean. Even so, “Boo” will probably make the Jury.
Cassandra Franklin is our first married player this season. She is the manager of the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at the University of California, Los Angeles, where she has worked since the age of 19. She describes herself as fun, warm and giving and could be classified as “almost” athletic. She does not list any favorite “Adult Beverages” in her bio, which I interpret as being a teetotaler.
Cuz says: I’m afraid her endowments will get in the way and she will be an early boot. She does not make the Jury.
Andria "Dre" Herd grew up homeless in the projects, living on the streets and eating at soup kitchens. In high school he began playing sports and quickly became an “athletic superstar, excelling in cheerleading.” (Hey folks, it’s his bio, he can say what he wants!) Dre is more athletic than most of this season’s players and describes himself as humorous, energetic and intelligent. He also doesn’t list a favorite “Adult Beverages”.
Cuz says: I think Dre will end up irritating his tribemates and the only reason they keep him around is for strength in the Immunity Challenges. As soon as the merge occurs however, he is toast. Having said that, I’m gonna say he just barely makes the Jury.
Earl Cole is a Senior Advertising Executive who is also an accomplished musician and composer. He considers himself to be very intelligent, creative, athletic and confident, with a witty sense of humor. His favorite “Adult Beverages” are Jack Daniels & Coke, chardonnay and Grey Goose vodka.
Cuz says: Earl should make the Jury.
Edgardo Rivera has a Bachelor's Degree in advertising from Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. He is reasonably athletic and describes himself as spontaneous, ambitious and very adventurous. His favorite “Adult Beverages” are vodka, wine, rum, whiskey and tequila. (Not very “spontaneous” there, Edgardo!)
Cuz says: I don’t know exactly why, but I don’t see Edgardo making the Jury.
Erica Durousseau has a Bachelor's Degree in Mass Communications from Grambling College. She is not very athletic and describes herself as subtle, confrontational and outgoing. Her favorite “Adult Beverage” is a Ketel One dirty martini.
Cuz says: I expect Erica’s confrontational nature will result in her being an early boot and she will not make the Jury.
Gary Stritesky currently works as a school bus driver and carpenter. His past jobs have included barber, taxi driver and landscaper as well as serving in the military, including an eight month tour in Vietnam in 1971. He has competed in numerous inline skate marathons and enjoys biking, canoeing and coaching. His favorite “Adult Beverages” are beer and Bloody Marys. Gary is married and has 4 kids and 2 grandkids.
Cuz says: Even though Gary seems to be able to keep up with the young pups, I’m afraid that he will become a victim of age discrimination and will be an early boot.
James Reid received his high school diploma through an adult program. (i.e. a G.E.D.) He is a bartender who describes himself as outgoing, tough (but an overall "good kid"), a people person and a "man's man." (Like I said before, nowadays, that description could cover a “multitude of sins”)
Cuz says: Even though he served time in the Navy, I doubt he will stick around long in this game. James is a pre-Jury boot.
Jessica deBen states that she has attended three different colleges/universities. (But interestingly she doesn’t list any degree in her bio.) Could be she was one of those “College is for finding a husband” types. Or maybe she just couldn’t make up her mind what to major in. She currently works as a fashion stylist and make-up artist. She is not very athletic and describes herself as ambitious, warm and unbreakable Her favorite “Adult Beverages” are Pimm's Cup, PlumpJack wine and strawberry daiquiris.
Cuz says: Jessica seems to be the type of player who tries to use her “feminine charms” to woo the men into keeping her around. She will probably make the Jury.
Liliana Gomez graduated from high school in 1999 and immediately joined the Marine Corps where she has served until just recently. She received her training in Parris Island, South Carolina, and graduated as Squad Leader and Honor Graduate through Military Occupation School. During her tour of duty, she served in the Operation Iraqi Freedom War in 2003. She currently works as a mortgage loan officer. She describes herself as strong, stubborn, confident, goofy and a witty gal. Her favorite “Adult Beverages” are Mojitos, wine and tequila.
Cuz says: I like Liliana and think she should go far in this game. All the way to the final three and she is my pick for winning the game.
Lisette "Lisi" Linares is this season’s “Flake”. She classifies herself as an "Underground Electropunk Noise Artist" and claims to be creative, intelligent, smart, observant and fun. She currently works as a customer service representative for a “psychic service company”. (Madam Cleo, line 1!!!!!)
Cuz says: I don’t even care what her favorite “Adult Beverage” is, I just want her gone. She is an early boot.
Michelle Yi is in her final year at the University of Cincinnati where she is studying fashion design. She describes herself as very independent and is a true believer in following one's passions and staying inspired. Michelle admits she likes to eat. Everything from Korean BBQ to Cincinnati Skyline Chili, with a particular weakness for ice cream and sushi.
Cuz says: I find myself liking Michelle and think she is probably an “under the radar” type player. I think she will make it to the final three.
Mookie Lee (Yes, that is his real name.) has a Bachelor's Degree (Actuarial Science and Finance) from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Mookie describes himself as outgoing, humorous, strong-minded, competitive and athletic. His favorite “Adult Beverages” are Bacardi & Diet Coke and Jagermeister bombs.
Cuz says: Mookie will be kept around for tribal Immunity challenges, but as soon as the Merge occurs, he will be considered an “Individual Immunity” threat and booted at the first opportunity. Mookie just makes it to the Jury.
Rita Verreos attended both UC Berkeley and UCLA where she graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor's Degree in Italian and French Literature. She currently juggles being a single mom with working part-time on her business as an image consultant who specializes in coaching girls for the Miss Texas, Miss California and Miss USA Pageants. She describes herself as persistent, tough on the outside…tender on the inside, considerate and respectful. Her favorite “Adult Beverage” is red wine.
Cuz says: Rita appears to be an easy going, fun loving, get along with everybody type person and should make the Jury.
Stacy Kimball, born in South Korea, was adopted at six months old and raised in Montpelier, Vermont. She has received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Graphic Design from the Ai Miami International University of Art and Design. She describes herself as resourceful, optimistic and good-humored and her favorite “Adult Beverages” are Captain Morgan's Rum and Ginger Ale and Guinness.
Cuz says: Any lass that lists Guinness has her favorite is OK in my book. Stacy should make the Jury
Sylvia Kwan has a Bachelor of Arts degree and Master of Architecture degree from UC Berkeley. She describes herself as creative, energetic and determined, and according to her husband, holds the unofficial title of “Ultimate Consumer.” She currently resides in Marin County with her husband and her two teenage children. Her favorite “Adult Beverages” are red wine, white wine, low-carb beer and vodka.
Cuz says: I like Sylvia and even though she has her age working against her (what with the young pups and all) she should make the Jury
Yau-Man Chan received a Bachelor of Science degree from MIT and a Master of Science degree from UC Santa Barbara. He currently is the Director of Information Systems for the College of Chemistry at UC Berkeley. He describes himself as intellectual and contemplative and considers himself a natural leader, a good organizer, very skilled with his hands, very resourceful and feels he possesses a keen intellect. He is married and has two children. His favorite “Adult Beverage” is white wine—Gewertzraminer.
Cuz says: Yau-Man is your typical “Southern California Liberal” and as such will probably be a pre-Jury boot. In fact, if he were in my tribe, he would be the absolute first player booted.
Well, there you have it.
My pre- Jury boots are Cassandra, Edgardo, Erica, Gary, James, Lisi, Yau-Man
My picks for the Jury are Anthony, Boo, Dre, Earl, Jessica, Mookie, Rita, Stacy, Sylvia

P.S. For those of you who have gotten this far in this rambling post and are wondering why the change in my South Park character, the explanation is simple.
Today, January 23, 2007 your’s truly hits the big Five-Oh. (That’s 50 for those of you in Rio Linda.)
Yep, I can no longer deny it. I have officially become an “old fart!”
And believe me, I feel it!
Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
