Survivor

Good thing I read that...I was gonna explain! I don't know about you, but if I tape the show and haven't had a chance to watch it, I avoid the tv so I don't hear who got kicked off until I have a chance to see it!

You've got a good point about the mullet lady, Beckie. I might start rooting for her too.

I think unless Todd does something stupid or has a revolt against him, he might win. I definitely don't want Courtney to win. She doesn't deserve it!

In the current TV Guide, Jeff Probst talks about each of the Survivor contestants. He likes Denise, and he says, "I like her even more for the story she told about why she has her mullet."

Did we hear that story? I think I missed it. :think:

I never heard the story either. Maybe it's a tribute to a loved one that passed away or something?

Nope, I've never heard the story of her mullet, either. To tell the truth, until her showed up for that last reward challenge, I thought she might be gay

I cannot wait. Thursday is a regular episode and the the finale on Sunday. I'll have to decide between Survivor & The Amazing Race.

You'll have to mullet over and come to a decision. Hey, where's Rhonda when we need her?

I'm watching the Amazing Race, too. I haven't watched last night's episode yet, but last week's was really interesting. I had no idea Lithuania was such a beautiful country.

Between Amazing Race and Survivor... :think: :unsure: do I have to CAST THE DECIDING VOTE on which to watch??

LOL!!

I stopped watching the Amazing Race. Even if I didn't I would never even think to watch that over Survivor. Survivor is my life, lol. Beckie has spoken.

First off, spoilers coming up so Rob if you haven't seen it yet, don't read below! :shh3: And no, I haven't heard any story about Denise's mullet either...must be coming up tomorrow night maybe? Hope so, now I want to know! :scratch:

I honestly don't think that Todd's sister's miscarriage was staged. Johnny Fairplay was a 'player' from the very beginning...Todd, is not--- I think he's too good a guy to pull sth like that. And the whole 're-enactment' by Courtney was just one more reason for me not to like her. :laser: I thought that was beyond low to make fun of someone crying over the loss of their future niece or nephew. She was only speculating---there are no facts. She need to grow up.

I would not mind seeing Denise win...she is a really good-hearted woman. She really needed to vote Todd out there...she's so soft she couldnt' go against her aliance. Could be her undoing. Also she did not have to explain herself to Pei-G (Sp?)...I mean, how many Survivors have we actually seen where the reward favor is reciprocated? It's about taking along who will benefit you in the game. I would love to see Pei G go...she irks me possibly worse than Courtney! ....but I believe she'll go to the final two actually...who wouldn't want to go up against her? I would be happy to see Denise, Todd or Amanda to win, with Amanda having the edge.

Can't wait for tomorrow night!

Spoiler:

Horray Peih-Gee's gone!! :sillySmiley: Anyone else as happy as I am? (And LOL, JUST when I finally figured out how to spell her name! )

I don't blame them for wanting to take Todd...I don't think he can win this, but he certainly can come in second! $100,000 is nothing to sneeze it!

I am glad that this week's cast off is gone too. He/she was very annoying.

I can't stand Todd. I wanted to smack that stupid look of his scrawny face at his reaction to PG leaving. Grow up idiot! I hope he is next. There is nothing worse than a cocky person. And as far as Courtney...that's another story. Go Denise or Amanda!

I wanted to smack Courtney, too, with the stupid looks and faces she was making during tribal council. PG really hit the nail on the head about her (Court) when she was talking; she really has been riding coattails during this show.

I think the final two might be Todd and Amanda. I knew that Denise wasn't going to be able to handle that challenge, when she had to eat! She should have at least tried!

I think overall, with playing the game well, the overall winner would have to be Todd.

Well, I have to admit out of all of them, he did play the game the best, even if he used slimy tactics. I can't believe Courtney came in second...she totally did not deserve to win anything. I was so happy when Mark Burnett gave Denise $50,000. and James won the viewer's choice.

I wonder why player from this game will be on the next one? I'm thinking maybe James...

Misti, I didn't watch the whole show. Why did Mark give Denise the $50,000?

Yeah, the game is "Outwit, outlast, outplay", and Todd did do that! I think so often people forget that...this is not about making best friends and practicing what you learned in kindergarten. I would have a hard time at this game, but it IS a game. A person on my other board mentioned how Amanda screwed this up. She HAD that million in her hands, but she kept apologizing for everything, and making the puppy dog eyes, and never owned what she did to GET where she was. You don't apologize for having 'Uno', you don't apologize for conquering the wold in "RISK". She played a good game, but she didn't step up to the plate with the jury and OWN her accomplishments, in the way that Todd did. He deserved to win, IMO.

About Denise, I was happy for her at that moment, but it's a risk every single person takes when they enter the game...she's not the first to not have a job to come back to. Those people didn't get $50,000, she was just more verbal about her financial issues than most....essentially begging, and that told me a lot about her. And now come to find out she was very misleading. I'm sorry, but a janitorial job is actually a promotion, not a demotion...she really played it up during the reunion and I lost all respect I'd had for her there. I really liked her during the whole show, until the final episode with how she was with Amanda and all the boo-hoo-ing. Don't think I don't sympathize...I've had my struggles, believe me, and we essentially grew up poor. But you would never see my parents or myself begging on national tv. Sorry if this seems insensitive, but it wouldn't bother me a bit if they denied her that $50,000 now...it was gained using under-handed measures. JMO.

I didn't watch, either, Rob, but a friend of mine is obsessed with the show, and had mentioned this to me. Denise said or implied that she had been demoted at her job because of her fame on the show. So this Mark fella gave her $50,000. But it turns out that she was already in that custodial position before she left for Survivor - and had requested the transfer herself. The school administration received so many harsh e-mails about the situation, they decided that they needed to set the record straight, and went on The Morning Show to do an interview with Denise on a split screen. Apparently, she has apologized for misleading people. I wonder what will happen with the $50,000 now, since it was given under a misconeption of unfair treatment.

Thanks for explaining, Savannah! I didn't know the rest of the story. She came across as getting let go because she went on Survivor or quitting to go on the show and then not getting hired back in the lunch room and then she had to take a custodian job. When she was rallying on the show she was saying she didn't really have anything go go home to. She seems to me to be an unhappy person. She always talked how she was one of the unpopular kids; being picked last for sports in school and stuff like that. I wonder, too, if she will keep the $50,000? Probably so.
