He said last night he only has one more week to use the II so he must use it next week if at all. They were nuts not to vote him out last night.

Actually, when Jeff asked Fabio about the kebobs, Naonka said "You would have to "ax" him that." I wouldn't point it out, except that I cannot stand Naonka.

From my fav exit interview site. When two people are voted out, they usually conduct the 2nd interview in subsequent days, so Kelly's is the first one posted today. Exclusive: Kelly Bruno talks about 'Survivor: Nicaragua' realitytvworld

Oregonguy ~ also she chose the wrong side at the beginning with alina and shannon and just could never recover from that. Actually, I don't think Kelly B. or Alina or Shannon (all white folks) had any choice in the matter. On Day 1 the Brenda/Sash/Na group decided to be an alliance of 'minorities'. Why they allowed Kelly S. into their clique, I've never been able to figure.

Nerovh ~ when Jeff asked Fabio about the kebobs, Naonka said "You would have to "ax" him that." I laughed so hard at that. She's had such hard on about Fabio, Jeff P. just KNEW that would ruffle her feathers. Great dig!

Brenda was VERY smart in voting out Kelly B. she secured her relationship with Chase and Naonka on the OTHER TRIBE! that was who Naonka wanted out more than anything. So she is securing herself for post-merge

I am surprised Kelly didn't talk more or was asked more about Naonka. I mean I'm sure she has been watching every episode and all the horrible remarks Naonka makes week after week. Maybe we'll have to wait for the finale for reaction to that. What do you guys calls the private talks to the camera? I've watched for so long but I still don't know, and I don't know what to call them when I post. Confessionals?

Hate hate hate Brenda!! In fact I don't ever remember a more unlikeable cast from the oldies to the <77>...except for Fabio. At least he is sincere in his dorkiness.

I agree, Jussay. Except for Fabio, they are all seem so icky and unlikable. I wouldn't want to sit down to a meal with any of them. [NaOnka] <77> has to be the worst.

Naja - "Confessionals" is the right term for their "private" talks with US!

I've been repeatedly trying to find the two sets Tribal Council Voting comments - for LaFlor when they booted Kelly B. Via both CBS videos as well at Youtube. I see that Alaginger, who usually posts the written draft of the comments in the Spoiler threads, doesn't appear to have come across them either, she's only posted Espada's. They posted Espada's video comments, in both places, right away. This leads me to suspect the comments may have been ugly! CBS wouldn't wish to alienate fans that don't think it's nice to dogpile & beat up on a disabled woman.

My previous comment: CBS wouldn't wish to alienate fans that don't think it's nice to dogpile & beat up on a disabled woman. Gauging by the general disgust & aversion to NaOnka's confessionals about Kelly B.'s leg (I don't think I have read a SINGLE post here that has had positive thoughts about NaOnka) I bet CBS decided to play safe.

When I finally watched this past week's episode, all I could think was I wonder how Kelly felt watching the show and knowing how much people thought her leg was a threat only because of the sympathy vote. She seemed like a strong competitor and the fact that she was so reviled really makes me mad. And the fact that CBS chose to consistently show NaOnka's (and then Brenda's) remarks about her "sympathy leg" (when they didn't have to) makes me think that it's doubtful anyone else with any disability would ever apply to be on this show. Not that I blame them. I'm not so sure Kelly would have gotten a sympathy vote. If she HAD made to F3, she likely would've earned her place. Although I'm wondering how well she'd have been able to do on the one endurance challenge they always do where they have to either stand on a pole or some other such thing for a long time. Not being able to feel where her foot is would have been a disadvantage, wouldn't it? Either way, I'm shamed to be part of the human race where people like NaOnka think it's OK to talk about tossing someone's prosthetic leg into a fire.

I agree with Tishala about Brenda's performance during the last episode. The way she did it proves that (right or wrong) he's a threat and is untrustworthy, and now this idea is cemented in the minds of both tribes. Marty has considered himself the mastermind and "in charge" so he knows now that there will be mutiny afoot after this! He did what no great leader should'v done by becoming unraveled and displaying his nervousness in tribal council. Rather than voting him out right then, Brenda now knows that he's primed for being voted out next. (Can't say it'll happened like that, but I could see how it could play out.) So rather than Marty feeling like he's in charge, he now knows he's #1 on the chopping block. The threat of just thinking that will make him play the idol. About Naonka, I try not to say much about her, because her behavior was so vile from the beginning. But I will say this ... I've learned that people who sometimes yelp the loudest are usually the most insecure. Her defenses were always up, as if to say, that's what she knows and have lived. Ultimately, her coping skills are unchecked. The comments she made about Kelly B and her leg were unwarranted. But I'll bet most of those "contestants" were thinking the same thing, and just didn't say it out loud. I'll give her credit for not being afraid to say out loud what she believes and possibly what others are also thinking. She certainly has guts, is not lacking in self-esteem, and doesn't hide behind a fake presence like some others! But that's as far as my positive comments about her can go. I really liked Kelly B. She seemed like a nice girl. I can't stand it when people get picked on, though, and her situation was no different. But I'm being honest about this thing. The mere fact that she went on this show was an invitation for criticism! It has nothing to do with her abilities, but everything to do with people's perceptions. She HAD to know that this would be an issue for some people, which is why she chose to go ahead and disclose it nearly from the beginning. She was smart enough to realize that some people would feel she would get sympathy. And she was right. I would have liked to see her go all the way through, just so the point can be made that she was very capable of doing everything that everyone else is doing. But folks, they're playing for a million dollars. If there is even the slightest chance that fellow contestants could possibly vote for her in the end based on that, then I can stand to reason the thought process.

There's a big difference between wanting someone out because you are afraid that their disability will give them the "sympathy" vote at the end, and threatening to throw their artificial limb in the fire. I find it very hard to have a single shred of empathy for NaOnka. She bullied Kelly B, she got physically aggressive with her and she threatened damage to her very expensive piece of essential equipment...unredeemable in my eyes.

I have a bad memory. The season that had the hearing impaired woman on, did they gang up on her also because of her disabilty and did they vote her out because they were afraid of sympathy votes also?

I think that was a part of it, but I also think that the nature of her disability kept her apart from the tribe...she was also handicapped by the inability to read lips by firelight so she never was able to fit in. I don't remember there being as much discussion of the "sympathy vote" factor (but remember, that was an earlier, gentler Survivor than today's game), but instead that she just didn't fit intot he tribe. But nobody suggested that they throw her into the fire...LOL!

Good thing Kelly B didn't start out on the other tribe...Holly might have actually thrown her artificial limb into the ocean!
