>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 agree with all of this. I think at the beginning of the game, there were some assumptions about Eliza and her alliance being the "young, cute girls" who somehow thought they were better than the others. But the Eliza I've seen is truly a sweet person, if a little immature and possibly annoying to be trapped on an island with. She doesn't annoy me anywhere near as much as Scout, who I think is a big phony. Both Scout and Twila seemed to start out the games with a lot of judgements and preconceptions about the people who weren't like them. Twila has redeemed herself a little in my eyes, but Scout is just blech.

To actually post on the topic of the thread, I never really felt the Ami hate, but I can agree that she didn't come off well last night. She could use a heaping serving of self-awareness, IMO.

Burnett in the new EW:

EW's Burning Question of the Week
Q. Survivor's visit-from-the-loved-ones episode Nov. 25 cut away from Ami's and Scout's reunions with their same-sex partners. Why no kisses?

A. "I'd be an idiot not to notice both the way the country voted and the backlash from the FCC that came off of Janet Jackson's ," admits exec producer Mark Burnett, who says CBS wasn't involved. "I wanted to protect my franchise and didn't think it was right to show both lesbian kisses at 8 o'clock. I can't be any more honest than that, can I?"

At first I wondered, but thought that MB was taking the safe route.

If it's any consolation, you can still see both couples sharing warm kisses in shots where they are in the background. I've watched that episode a few times, when trying to figure out why they didn't talk about the person who visited Leanne (which they actually DID show).

The visitors on the episode all had that type label on the screen when they were shown (like Twila's son's name, then under his name it said "Twila's Son")....for Leanne's visitor it said her friend. The way they were laughing about how bad her friend was doing, giggling, etc- they seemed like maybe best friends, old friends- it remined me of how my best friend and I would be and we've been friends for about 14 years now.

Wendo: As far as Ami somehow being pampered her life versus Twila? That's quite an assumption without ANY proof whatsoever.

Yeah that's probably true...still doesn't change the fact that Twila could stomp her.

btw...I do agree that Twila has an uphill climb to win this thing. I don't see her being in the final two. Cuz as you or somebody else said...Twila would only have a chance against Scout. :nod:

Hey, Cayecaye ~ I've been agreeing with you 100% as well!

And Nick, for the very reason that some think "Twila would only have a chance against Scout" is the perfect reason to take her to final 2.

I may be in the minority, but I'm sorry to see Ami go. I don't think she "ruled" anyone. I think she's a strong player, and the others naturally fell in line. I didn't see any indication of a dictatorship in her attitude. I think she played with integrity, stayed with her commitments, and played a good game.

I'm really sorry to see her go. Now I want Eliza to win. (I'm sick of the negativity from Scout and Twila, and Chris gives me the creeps. And I just don't think Julie will make it to F2, although I'd love it if it were Eliza and Julie there.)

Costacat...I agree totally except for I don't so much think Chris is creepy. I always liked Ami- Tim couldn't stand her but there was something about her...probably the thing that made others dislike her so much. Maybe it was her confidence, I don't know.

I never cared for Ami, but I appreciated her game play. Her actions this last week, including her flipping them off after she was voted off, have made me care for her less.

She only seemed to care about those around her when her butt was on the line...ala...her sudden love for Eliza.

The parity is that to us "the watchers" think its been a week but in reality it's only been 3 days. She went from Diva to <RA> in just 3 days...ok, to some of us she's been the <RA> for a few weeks.

I literly cannot stand people like Ami and Leann. <RA> I sure as heck would not of liked either one of them to have won any money. Scout and Twila act like crabby seniors or something. As for creepy, I find Scout more than a little creepy. Julie was a pal of Leann and Ami so I want her to go too. That leaves Chris and Eliza. I hope they are final two.

Twila is only 41. I don't think she is acting like a crabby senior.

Ami and Leann played well up until they made no secret of who they wanted in the F4. Twila and Scout had to do what they did to stay in the game...I thought it was a great move. Chris is creepy, and I kind of hope Julie and Twila have a secret alliance.

My God, Twila is only 41? she looks alot older and acts like a crabby senior to me. I realize Twila and Scout had to gain control from Ami and applaud them for that but I still do not want Twila, Scout or Julie to win.

Hey you guys!!!!!!

Did anyone else see the video done by "Seraphim" on Survivornews.net called "Ami - Survivor The Prisoner" ???? It is a hilarious goof on Ami being booted and Ami as a secret agent...it is really cute.....

You have to go to "spoilers" for Vanuatu, and go to the "Boot List" and click on Ami's highlighted name.....It is really funny!

Check it out!!

Interview with Ami:

Survivor’s first axed lesbian tells all-

She endured the wilds—and accusations of man-hating-—but lesbian Survivor contestant Ami Cusack couldn’t overcome an alliance gone wrong on the hit reality series...

LOL! I'd caught the reference to the rainbow in the exit speech, and wondered if Ami said that on purpose (the rainbow).

May or may not be mean, but it sounds like Ami has "outed" Twila in her interview in "The Advocate". I don't know if Twila is <gay> or not, and I don't care, but Ami is really not sucha nice person.

roppiepie i took ami's comment as just another example of ami demonstrating just how "nice" she is. she's just one of many who blame editing. i guess as long as ami can hide behind being funny and clever she can keep blaming everyone under the rainbow for how she was depicted on the show.
