You know, I was wondering about that whole “fired for being too recognizable” story. That’s just plain wierd. Do we know what school district she works for? In any event, one can imagine they’re getting lots and LOTS of emails and phone calls today - oh wait - they’re probably on Christmas vacation.
I thought it odd that Probst calls out Erik on still being a “virgin” but doesn’t find out if the miscarriage story was true or not. Because BSG would have been on the hot seat for more than just her “why should I give you a million dollars when you suck at life” remark - which, honey chile - you’re a WAITRESS, okay? The only difference between you and the “Lunch Lady” is a tip jar.
“The only difference between you and the “Lunch Lady” is a tip jar.”
Best quip I’ve read in weeks.
What was the miscarriage thing?
At the “relatives” challenge, Todd asked how his sister was and was told she’d suffered a miscarriage. Back at camp, BSG openly derided the whole idea that the miscarriage was real. While it was Erik that brought it up, Courtney ran with it and looked pretty bad in the process (at least to my mind). What suprised me was the Jeff didn’t ask Todd if the story was true or not or show Courtney up, since he had no problem showing what a twit she was regarding Denise.
I am praying that Bahstin Raaaab and his pathetic wife are not part of the fans vs. favorites. I’m hoping Jonathan Penner is included - just to bring the snark!
Yeah, yeah, yeah. THAT miscarriage thing. Yeah, would be nice to know.
It really bothers me that someone so obviously manipulating people, stabbing them in the back, and just plain lying, gets to win.
You know, it occurs to me that if they went back to the concept where people actually had to work to survive, little twits like Bushbaby wouldn’t win. They get too much food which allows them more time and energy to manipulate and conspire. Back in the old days Survivors spent half their time SURVIVING or starving. I’m pretty sure they quit that because one season — can’t remember which one — there were some people who were probably close to physical harm. But, what the hell . . .
I agree - if you look at Season 1 as opposed to this one, same thing - I thought, maybe, just maybe, with the 16 contestants this season, there was hope that they might have gone back to their roots, real survival. Now? eh. You know I didn’t even watch the 2-hour finale - just the reunion show, because I didn’t care a wit about what the jury was going to ask. It would be a variation of “you suck, why should I vote for you” and “I suck, but why did you vote me off” to “how dare you not let me win” to “how dare you try to win” etc. Get me an intersting cast like season 1, get rid of the damn immunity idols and other tricks. Remember when a slice of pizza was a real reward?
"Worth Playing for"?
"Once again, immunity, back up for grabs".
Agggh, Probst needs to get new writers.
And don’t forget my fav from the final jury: “You lied to me”, Well duh..............
My absolute favorite answer EVER jury question goes to Ethan from Survivor: Africa.
Question (from Brandon): Who do you think DOESN’T deserve to be sitting where you are?
Ethan: You.
Also, maybe get some better tree-mail writers, too. Those rhymes totally SUCK. There are fourth graders who could do better.
Personally, I think they should retire Jeff and let Earl be the new host. I start ever season and every episode with “Shut up, Probst.”
LOL, what truly a classic answer.
Hey folks - is it too early to discuss the possible returnees for Survivor 16 - the “Favorites” v. the “Fans”? Is there anyone here other than me that is praying, praying that Johnny a$$hat Dalton, aka Johnny Fairplay WAS NOT asked back, since a lot of fan sites say he’s on?
I suspect not only a$$hat, but Wob and Whamber will be included. Is Hatch out of prison yet, or did he decide to stay cause prison sex is so great?
I’ve heard that no “winners” would be included. The preview at the reunion show said “favorites” and somehow I cannot think Johnny A$$hat is on anyone’s list of “favorites.” I was hoping it’s only for Seasons 9 - 15, which means perhaps I get to see Ozzy, Cirie, Ian and Jonathan again (but please, please NOT Stephe-MEEE!, although I think she blew her “fan favorite” status in Guatemala).
I hear Johnny A$$hat is suing Danny Bonaduce for giving him the up and over at the awards show. If I were Bonaduce’s attorney, I’d be sure to show the jury the clip of him crying (with tears!) over “Grandma” at the reward challenge on Survivor. Then they can assess how much credibility to give anything Johnny Foulplay says.
I believe A$$hat’s suit against Bonaduce has been thrown out. IIRC.
Pavarti (cook islands)
Eliza (vanuatu)
Ami (vanuatu)
Johnny Fairplay (pirate islands)
Jonathan (cook islands)
Yau-man (fiji)
James (china)
Amanda (china)
and MAYBE (if there's 9 per tribe this time) Ozzy (cook islands)
Bring back TERRY!!!
He was one of my favorites
We definitely know James is one of the favorites and there is credible evidence that Yau Man will be too or "why" else did he take that "leave of absence" from work?
Why is James so popular? He seems to have been a downright jerk (though stopped watching after the Christian was ousted, and restarted watching to see James be booted off).
Courtney's comment about Denise sucking at life was so, immensely offensive. Personally give janitors much more respect than actors, for instance, although society in general sure doesn't seem to. At least janitors make a useful contribution to society.
Denise should have teamed up with Pei-Ghee and Erik. Disturbing thing is that suspect a bunch of half-starved freaks are able to scheme and strategize with more skill that personally able to.
Oddly, Jaime just seems Australian, though clearly the accent is more of a Southern one rather than even remotely sounding Australian.
Hopefully next season will be less slutty. And hopefully they pick Yau-Man to be a contestant.
Courtney could use some of Erik's maturity, and Denise could use some of Jean-Robert's ego while Jean-Robert could use some of Denise's low view of self-worth. Also, Jean-Robert seems to be a misogynist, and hence his voting for Todd (was that obvious to other freepers?). wall.
Courtney is probably anorexic. It is the case that some people are just naturally skinny, but Courtney's reaction to Jeff Probst's comment about gaining weight sort of gives a big push of evidence that Courtney is not exactly proud of the new weight, which still looks below average.
Survivor has strongly served it's purpose. After reading so many online articles about the singularity and some glorious, secular outcome for Man in the near future, the show has yanked down to earth and shown the genuine Mankind. Depraved. Cruel. Arrogant.
On TWoP, they feel the Courtney “love” (no pun intended). Personally, that little witch did nothing but complain from Day 1. What show did she THINK she signed up for. She made it sound like living in New York City was an accomplishment — someone needs to tell her that there are plenty of people occupying cardboard boxes in Hell’s Kitchen that can make the same claim...
One point of correction: Denise was a school lunch lady, not a janitor.
