Baylex has a point tho. Every year the youngsters play and the oldies work, and every year its a contention between the two sides. The one thing that's different this year is the youngsters are leaving FIRST...LOL Twila may have made every moment feel like hell for Mia, but Mia obviously made it hellish for more than just Twila, which is why Mia is gone.

Kep said: "The comment I didn't understand was the one that said Mia wasn't mixed, she was 100% human. I'm sure that statement doesn't mean what I thought it meant, which was that people of mixed heritage are not human...." Kep, I honestly would never, ever mean to imply that people of mixed heritage are not human. I was trying to be funny and joking that the Mia mix might be human and android/alien/anything-other-than human. The first post asking if anyone thought she was 'mixed' left me pondering, mix of what? So I jumped in and tried for the joke. I offer my sincerest apologies if you were offended. It was not my intent.

Wasn't offended at all Smrtass..not in the slightest. I was just majorly confused... I've seen you posting around here and knew there had to be another explanation...I just couldn't figure it out!! Glad you explained it tho...now I'm the one who feels dumb!!! DUH

Kep, glad we cleared that up. Don't feel dumb! Obviously, it wasn't a good joke if I had to explain it, so it's my fault.

It is just wrong to pull that card as Mia said it is frankly BS. Twila will not win either.

I am just so happy to see how this thread is going now!!! There have been seasons where the young and old work well together but I think it is mostly when the teams start out as male/female. A bunch of women together is always trouble, esp when we all pms at the same time!!

It was a fun show last night. They had to cram so much in an hour that it seemed kinda rushed. They should do 90 min's or more for double evictions. Twila won't win, but I was really respecting her last night. She told it like it is and it works for some people and others it don't.

What came to mind for me last night during Mia's prolonged outburst was, "he who doth protest too much...."

I don't see it as Twila "telling it like it is" - it's just her opinion (that some others don't work hard enough), not necessarily fact. Anymore than Mia's opinion that Twila is a martyr is necessarily fact (though I for one sort of agree; I didn't like Mia but I didn't think she was all wrong in the conflict with Twila). IMO, Twila and Scout are bitchy and judgemental. I think they get a pass from some people for being that way because they aren't young and cute and so their bitchiness and judgement is perceived differently. >What came to mind for me last night during Mia's prolonged outburst was, "he who doth protest too much...." < Maybe, but maybe Mia was just really pissed to be being judged in a way that she thought was unfair.

Was it just me, or did Mia remind anyone of Heidifrom Survivor:Amazon? Everytime I saw her, Heidi popped into my mind. I was happy to see her torched snuffed last night.

During her tirade, Mia specifically referred to the comments made by Twila at the trubal council. But remember Twila made those comments in answer to a question put to her by Jeff. It is not like she jumped up and shouted out her opinion. She appeared to me to be uncomfortable with the question but tried to answer it as honestly as she could. She gave credit to the ones who did the most work, but she also said the others also contributed. I had the impression that the whole confrontation was an attempt to make Twila look bad in front of the others, but the looks on the other girls faces showed that they were appalled by her behavior.

Obviously it was a bad judgement call for Mia to speak her mind but I for one had already been thinking all the things Mia said. Guin, I so agree with you. It is odd that when the older women act bitchy it is perveived so differantly by most viewers. I never understand this as I'm probably older than Scout and Twila and still can't stand that game play.

Daphnematthews, I thought the same thing. I even mentioned it to my mother last week when I saw a clip and thought she looked and sounded like Heidi.

As I read through this thread to catch up I feel totally stupid. There has been much discussion about the word "mixed". It may sound funny to you all but I thought that the word "up" was inadvertently left out in the speed of typing. It never even occurred to me that it meant anything else. "Mixed up" seemed to fit in there so I never gave it another thought. Man! I missed out I feel like lived a sheltered life. Or maybe I just don't think in that way. I tend to think about ones mental health before I think about their race having anything to do with anything. Who knows?

I was happy Mia was gone. She annoyed the heck out of me, especially when any of "her" group went against her wishes.

I think there's a big difference between calling somoene out and speaking your mind. Even if Mia had all the right in the world to express her opinion and tell Twila how she felt, it is unecessary to aggressively hammer your point home the way Mia did. It makes everybody uncomfortable, it solves nothing, and it makes the aggressor look like an ass. Nobody likes it, as evidenced by the fact that Mia's butt is gone. When will 'caller outers' learn? It might make them feel all powerful 'n good in the moment, but it will bite you in butt faster than you can say karma boomerang.

I just watched the reshow tonight. I must admit that Twila was probably doing some behind the scenes campaigning that was never showed. With the double elimination, they didn't have time for it, but I would really have liked to seen what really went on. Still, with that being said, it was time for Mia to go. I doubt Twila has ever had her hair french braided...She might not have ever had her armbits braided either. I don't know what Ami was suggesting by telling her she needed to be in touch with her Feminimimime side. I thought it funny Twila stumbled over that... Mia...good or bad...by calling out Twila...she called herself out and Twila stayed her course. Twila told it like it is and that's why Mia is gone. More Twila! More Scout! And more the guys showing alliances in innoncent suggestions. (I still can't believe the girls listend to him as he told them to split up!) Sarge rules!

Reading through this thread, I didn't see much discussion of the men's alliances/strategies. Is it the same way with the guys - old vs. young? And can we please get rid of Chris? OMG, he's from my home state, but it's really embarrassing me to admit it. And I've informed my dh that Brady is now on the list As for the women, I think Ami will go farther than expected and Lisa voted against her alliance? What is that all about?

It's funny with the men, it's really not that much about "age" except for a couple since many are around the same age in their 30s. I think Brady is 33 and one of the others being portrayed as an "older" guy, is the same age. With the exception of I think the guy who won immunity and is 23, this is a much older cast. Heck, Sarge is only 40 and isn't he the oldest guy there? SARGE & BRADY ....... MAKE AN ALLIANCE!!!!!!!!!!!

Guinevere, that is how I see it too. I think it is foolish for the women to eliminate a young strong player and keep Scout. It makes as little sense as the men voting off the young ones. In seasons past we have screamed at our TV's for them to eliminate a strong personal threat when they get the chance but that is AFTER the merge or just before. They formed alliances way too soon and are eliminating the players that could help keep them OUT of TC. How are these women going to win challenges with Scout vs Mia?! And yes Watching! Brady and Sarge, do it now and get Rory out of my line of vision.
