I'm re-watching the RC with the teams tugging and shoving the giant Gulliver doll through the ropes, and I'm enjoying it so much that I just have to have my kids watch this. ETA my 14-yo DS asked, "Why is that guy sitting on that big chair looking like a four-year-old?" ROTFL. I thought you guys would get a kick out of that.

LOL Sia! Dan did look kinda ridiculous with his legs swinging as he sat in Gulliver's chair! And Scoots, that's one of MY fave words, too. It's often a conundrum trying to figure out when I can actually use the word appropriately! Hehehe! I'm appalled that Naonka and Kelly S were interviewed, and I think I refuse to go read 'em. I might have forgiven Kelly S for quitting (maybe), but Naonka's attitude during her final confessional was the final straw. That woman is a pure narcissist and, since I'm a firm believer in karma, I expect she'll find out about karma when she returns to real life and the show airs. I can't imagine ANYONE saying they are friends with that woman, let alone BFFs! I'd deny, deny, deny!

Still have to catch up reading here and at the following link, but here's my favorite exit interview site: Exclusive: NaOnka Mixon talks about quitting 'Survivor: Nicaragua' realitytvworld

For our Canadian Friends that can't watch CBS Ponderosa YT, but don't read the spoiler section, Alaginger posted an EXCELLENT description of the 1st two YTs. The 3rd YT was mostly about getting ready for TC. One point I find interesting is that Naonka and P.Kelly have for a bedroom a large room with 3 twin size beds. First night Brenda went in to sleep with them, 'like a slumber party'. It will be interesting to see if the next female juror will have to use the 3rd bed when they come, or if they will leave N. & P.K. kind of isolated. Maybe CBS also didn't know how they would be received by other jury members. Alaginger ~ What I got out of the two Ponderosa Clips: ******************************* Figured you guys, like myself, would be interested in the reaction at Ponderosa. So, here's my take on it: 1 - The doctor weighed the two girls in. NaOnka had lost 11 pounds, and Kelly Purple had lost 12 pounds. (Remember NaOnka had just been to the movie and eaten hot dogs, candy, etc.) 2 - Marty was angry at TC, but Brenda who seems to always have her emotions under control, talked with him and made him see that for them the game is over....and from here on out they are just people, not players anymore. So, Marty greeted both girls at the door with open arms, apologies if he had ever done anything in the game to p*ss either one off. Brenda greeted with open arms and no admonitions about them quitting the game or NaOnka booting her off. 3 - Alina had taken it hard at the TC (we all saw her crying there) and it must have lingered. All we saw of her at Ponderosa were private confessionals from her own room. By breakfast the next morning she was over it, and got into the same mood as Marty and Brenda were doing. There was discussion about the quitting at the table, but no finger-pointing or bad-mouthing (but in any private confessionals with Marty, Brenda and Alina, they all don't agree with what the two girls did). 4 - On that second day they all went shopping in Granada and acted just like average everyday people in a group, shopping, eating, dancing, whatever. 5 - As a side, with Purple Kelly having her hair clean and hanging down you can (for once) actually see blonde at the top and about 2/3's down, and then the bottom 1/3 is all very purple. 6 - One other thing ... every time the 5 of them toast the jury, NaOnka and Kelly joined in like they are just like the others. I think Jeff is going to make sure they see they are not just like the others, even though they get full Ponderosa treatment...but that's just my feeling.

I agree quitters should be disqualified from being on the jury. I love Kar's idea of bringing back the last voted off.

Pamy..I agree about Holly. She gave one for the team and is certainly not selfish. Even though I detest Na Onka, I wonder if she doesn't have Sickle Cell Anemia. She said that she is anemic and her joints hurt her which is typical of SCA. Secondly, what was she doing on Survivor is she does have it????

That crossed my mind too, about the sickle cell. Anemia is usually pretty treatable, and we know they continue giving any necessary medication while they're out there. Unfortunately there's still little they can do for sickle cell except pain meds.

Well, at least now I know why she was called Purple Kelly...I figured it was an article of clothing or something...I never dreamed it was her hair color. Tells you how observant I am...LOL!

Umm, probably might be helpful to check out the posts on the particular episode. I post them there each week. If, however you don't choose to click on anything I might (helpfully) donate to the cause, not much more I can deliver. So sorry.

I can't always get youtube, so I also go to www.cbs.com and click on Survivor. Once on that site, I click on Ponderosa.

Thanks Naja. I hadn't searched far enough back. Thank you Biscotti. I just watched the three tapes. Tntitanfan, thank you for the other link. NaOnka still bugs me. She is anxious to show those still playing how good she and Kelly look.

How people like NaOnka skate through life, is frankly beyond me. I don't think she has any comprehension, and clearly no interest to discover, the concepts of compassion and selflessness towards others. She is defiantly selfish and unkind and utterly without charm. And yet NaOnka holds herself in high esteem. Wow.

I watched my tape last night and CBS cut to commercial right in the middle of Na'onkas speech, LOL. I thought it was appropriate for a Quitter!

The one thing I find hilarious about NaOnka is that she makes Omarosa (the Apprentice) look good. I'd love to see them (deservedly!) pitted against one another. My money would ride on O to quash N.

I don't even want to see NaOnka spoken to on the finale/reunion because all she is going to say is the same thing: I am who I am, no one can take that blah blah blah. Mameblanche you are right about Na skating by, she skated by several tribal councils even after she was found guilty of stealing socks, food, turning on her friend, etc. She just didn't want them to vote her out.

I could never understand how Nayonka escaped being voted out either. Were the rest of the tribe afraid of her? The only one to stand up to her and get shoved back mercilessly was Fabio. And every time he got no support from the others.

half afraid and they figure she would be great to be sitting next to at the end as she should lose easily

For one thing Naonka was in the "right" alliance...that group that got together early on...and no matter what else she did she was a vote for their alliance. Secondly, she deflected attention off of either Brenda or Sash, so she was a big target...if she hadn't flipped Brenda would more than likely have remained in the game. Third, she would have been GREAT to have been sitting next to at the end...she would have, if anyone was even thinking about voting for her, talked herself into getting absolutely zero votes because she was so unself-aware. I refuse to think she is as clueless as she seems about the effect that her actions have on those around her...I think she is just unsufferably selfish and self-absorbed. She said it best...she looks out for herself and nobody else.

I personally think anyone who quits the game, should be disqualified and not be a part of survivor anymore, especially being on the jury. like on BB, when that blk girl (cant think of her name) quit ... she was no longer apart of BB and wasnt invited to participate in the finale .... the last 2 voted off before marty should be on jury ...

I'm hoping for a rule change, and wouldn't be surprised if we see one. I think the producers really don't like the thought of people quitting late in the game and don't want to see this cause some kind of trend. I think the two girls fed off each other's desire to quit and watching the other do it made it easier for them to do it.

I think they will make a rule change, too. For one thing, Probst is steamed, and for another the viewers are almost unanimous in thinking the quitters shouldn't be on the jury.
