Jan, thanks for the info about Hatch's opinion of Ami. (I saw you post in a different thread that you had seen Hatch and Chad and wondered if you knew what Hatch thought of her.) I appreciate your post.

Has Ami said on the show that she is gay..not that there is anything wrong with that....I am just curious why they haven't showed the tv audience she is since they showed Scout was.

I think Amy is the president of the "Man Haters Club of America." I think she is plain mean. IMO. Even Johnny Fairplay was funny and charming at times, Amy seems humorless to me.

Good lord... what does Ami's sexual preference have to do with anything? I'm really surpised at the vitriol aimed towards her. She's been playing a darned good game. And an honest one. Unlike most of the others day (with the possible exception of Eliza).

Ami's sexual preference doesn't bother me a bit and I agree that it really doesn't have to do with anything (as Costacat put it). I am a little uncomfortable that she seems to dislike the men as much as she does. I don't like it when any group is unfairly stereotyped - and that includes men.

You know, Buggles in another thread made a very good point that the reason that the whole Chris manoeuvre worked was that the woman (including Ami) liked Chris enough that they wanted to keep him around longer, despite the risks. So I may have to withdraw my comment about Ami's apparent dislike of men - she didn't oppose the decision to keep Chris and ironically it cost her.

Jimmer, she did oppose the decision to keep Chris, she just chose to go along with the group this time instead of deciding for them. She very clearly said she didn't agree with the decision and she didn't like it. She could see the anti-Eliza sentiment was growing, and I think she was worried that she would alienate her group if she didn't give in to them. I don't care for Ami for two reasons. First, she comes across as terribly arrogant to me (I see a difference between humble self-confidence which I admire, and her behavior). Second, her caring for the women doesn't seem sincere to me, it feels to me like she is using the women. Third, her decision to simply exclude men just because they are men and for NO other reason seems sexist to me. Oh, that was three reasons. Better stop there!

I don't think the women like Chris so much as they like his "strength." Didn't several people mention, after that rain storm, that they thought it would be good to keep the men around to help build fires. I also think that Ami is sticking true to an original alliance, as much as possible. It's why I think she wanted Chris out. Although the rest of the gang was gunning for Eliza, so she deferred to them. BTW, I don't think Ami dislikes men. I just think she doesn't have much use for them. There's a world of difference between being a strong woman, and being a woman who wants to keep a man around cause he can build a fire. (Sorry, I really dislike Scout.)

I think Ami's desire to get rid of the men stems more from her original alliance and the fact of their physical strength, which makes them her biggest challengers in the immunity challenges. I do not see it as a dislike of men in general. She devised a strategy at the beginning of the game and she has stuck to it. She is indeed a strong woman and she had assumed command of the women's group and up to this week ruled them with an iron hand. Perhaps if she had insisted on voting out Chris instead of Eliza, this week's surprise might not have happened. I dislike her smugness. In every game when one person or group becomes so much in control that they began to act arrogant, I find myself hoping to see them get taken down. My dislike of her developed long before there was any suggestion of her sexual preference. I could care less about that. Scout is openly gay and I see not bad feelings toward her because of it. Why should there be any toward Ami? I do not see any.

My perception of Ami is that she doesn't like men, simply because they are men. I don't recall any specific statement that she has made that makes me think that, its more her overall attitude towards the guys while playing this game. If I'm not mistaken, wasn't she the one who didn't want to "share" information with Rory when he came over? I think she even said that they (the women) didn't need to be sharing with "the men" ("the men" was said in a non-complimentary tone). And its been her negative attitude and comments about the guys (along with her resolve to remove ALL THE MEN from the island) that have built the impression in my mind that she dislikes the guys. I remember thinking this about her even before her lifestyle was known. I definitely LOVED the look on her face when LeAnn was booted....I yelled at my TV..."HEY AMI...SMIRK THAT!!!"

I have't gotten the impression that Ami dislikes men. I just think she is a very straightforward person who made an alliance and has stuck by it. I think she is also very much into female empowerment - which is a character trait of many assertive females (not necessarily just lesbians). I think she feels that the strength in her team lies in eliminating all of the men. I believe if she had made an alliance in a mixed team she would have stuck to it just the same if it would have advanced her in the game. I also think she knows that she is the strongest (physically) of the women on her team so once the men were eliminated she would stand a good chance of winning most of the more physically demanding immunity challenges. I thought sharing information with Rory was a poor idea too. Joining that team didn't make Rory and Travis teammates - the women were well aware that the men's original alliance was with the other men, and was not likely to change over to an alliance with the women. Why give up an advantage unless you had to? Knowledge is power in this game - the players who know the most and tell the least usually go the farthest in my opinion.

It was nice to see that Eliza was able to accomplish voting out Ami, since Ami came up one vote short of voting out Eliza last week. Seems her love for Eliza didn't exist at the previous tribal council. Ami played a good game, but just alienated enough people to allow for the flip flop of power last week. She should have held the 4 girls together and got rid of Chris. I understand her trying everything to force the tie this week, but I really thought she would take it better once it was done. Her comment about holding Twila's head under water for 2 minutes was not necessary.

especially if Twila can hold her breath for that long. As soon as Ami let her up, I think Twila could take her. Ami might be lean and toned up; but, Twila has the street smarts and knows how to use them. Ami, has probably been pampered all her life; whereas Twila had to learn to live off the land (Figuratively speaking). Yeah, Twila could take Ami in 2 rounds, I suspect.

Boy, Ami really tried to play on Eliza's sympathy tonight reminding her of how she had saved her on so many occasions, as though she was not just following her plan to get rid of the men. She gave it a good try, but I think she overdid it and Eliza was not fooled for a minute. She knew Ami would dump her just as soon as she had served her purpose. Do you think Eliza tried a little reverse playing at TC to try to win Ami's vote, with the tears and all? It always just gets me how these reality show contestants harp on "integerity and honor." For heaven's sake when are they going to get it through their heads that they are playing a game for a million dollars. In real games such as poker or football, deception is basic. Fool you opponent whenever you can. This is not real life. The regular rules just do not apply. As long as they do not do anything immoral or illegal, anything goes. The lying, deceiving, and cheating do not bother me. It is the superior attitude of Well, I did not do that so I am better than they are that drives me nuts. Bah! Ami was in control from the beginning and was a very good contestant in the challenges. She never really had to lie to stay in the game. By tonight it was too late. Some of the others were not so fortunate. They did what they had to do to stay in the game. Twila does not owe anyone an apology. The only thing wrong in Twila's swearing by her son was that it put her honesty in question and will make it harder for her to gain other people's trust in the future. It was an unwise move, but she is taking way too much heat for it.

Well, Twila may have had Ami, but Twila is playing one of THE WORST games of Survivor, imo. If she makes final two with anyone but Scout, she will have no chance at winning the money. (And against Scout it wouldn't be easy either.) Not only has Twila alienated the women on the jury, but she alienated Chad and Sarge too. That's four votes she's lost before the game is even over. IMO, Twila has no chance in winning this game at all. As far as Ami somehow being pampered her life versus Twila? That's quite an assumption without ANY proof whatsoever. At this point, I hope Chris wins. Serves the women right for not sticking to their original alliance.

I think the biggest problem with Twila and Scout, in the eyes of Ami, is that they caught onto her and no longer worshipped the ground she walked on. I especially loved Chris's comment tonight during their reward of "Does she really think I'm that stupid?". Um, yeah, Chris she did.

Ding Dong- (from the wizard of oz) Come on guys, you know the song- everybody- i- 2- 3. I was so proud of Eliza for voting out Ami tonight, I know it was hard for her. I'm sorry to see next weeks promos where she fights with Twila. That is not good at this stage of the game. Right now I want Chris and Eliza in the final two. I dislike Scout's and Twila's dislike for Eliza simply because she is so young. I guess youth doesn't deserve the money like them? Oh such b.s. I do find Eliza's chattering a little annoying but I think she's still a good egg. I really like Chris too. I do not like Julie because I think she was secretly connected to Ami right up to Ami's departure. She looked upset when Ami left. The look on Chris's face was priceless. I really like him.
