Actually, Lilfair, let's hope SO...LOL

She seems like the all-american girl...but I will reserve judgement until I see her interact with the others.

Well, that clique includes Angie, so it's a little unconventional for a 'pretty person clique'.

This girl is freaking strong. She held out in that endurance competition longer than most of the guys. And in that underwater pull-the-box competition last week, she was one of the only ones who contributed. If she makes the merge, she'll be a contender.

Regardless, Angie and Stephenie appear to be on the same side. As far as "cliques" go, I don't really see one on her tribe, and if there is one, Stephenie so far isn't part of it. I'm rooting for this woman.

One word for Steph: SUPERHERO

Strongest female Survivor ever??? Maybe. Only competition I see would be Alicia from the Outback.

I hope she goes far as she's become my favorite, but she may have made herself a huge target after the merge with her strong showing in all competitions.

Hard to say all is THAT positive. She's strong but once again we have someone swearing when no one asked them to swear.. I mean when she lied to Bobby Jon, indicating that James had voted for him the week before when it was her vote.. now she could have been truthful and said she did vote for him first, then for Angie, but she said "Angie had to go".. and said she didn't vote for him.. THEN she added on that "I swear to God".

Yes she's strong. So was Angie. and yeah, not much in the way of cliques back then, and not much now.. she's playing all of them. Good for her, but of course she's going to be at quite a disadvantage at merge time.

I haven't seen much of her, really.. first we saw her talking to Angie but saw more of Angie. Angie is gone so we see Stephenie more but mostly just pretty much saying whatever the others want to hear. I see her turning on Bobby Jon next.. actually she voted against him last week.. she promised that she hadn't.. then she promised she'd vote with him but actually didn't until after the tie.. so he should be looking to ally with Ibrahem but I'm betting Steph will now claim to Ibrahem that she didn't vote against him this week in the first round of betting..

eh

But I like her better than James :-)

I agree with Lycan, I do think she's the strongest female Survivor contestant ever. Physically I think she could match or almost match Alicia, but Alicia's temper was somewhat of a downfall for her. Steph hasn't been shown to have any of that...that I recall.

I think Stephanie is one of the toughest Survivor players. If she were on Koror, she'd be kicking butt.

I don't think so. Remember Ulong was the team with the "brawn". They had no concept of teamwork or of accepting leadership. They proved that the first weeks, so I don't see her playing nicely on Koror either.

Yay Steph! Help me win my office Survivor pool!

She is one of the strongest players in Survivor, not just this one. She has shown us that she can compete, and wants to win. I would love to see her in the mix with all of the people on that other tribe.

I don't think they had a problem accepting leadership, they just had all the wrong leaders. The first lady who tried to "take charge" had no clue what she was doing and James, who was their unspoken leader, was even more clueless....

I think after the first lady (sorry, can't remember her name) got the boot for "taking charge", no one else wanted to risk being in the spotlight, except James.... and we all know how well that turned out!!

I can't beleive she beat Bobby Jon in that particular challenge...I'm really glad she's still in the game.

When I saw Steph put down sticks before using the accelerant, I was thinking, she's making the fire start point closer to her torch...That made sense to me...the fire would reach the torch quicker if its closer to the torch...

Bobby Jon just used the accelerant...and his fire had a little bit farther to go to reach the torch...those few micro inches made the difference too...

Way to go Steph!!!

Evidently she bonded with some Koror members before the tribes were picked the way Tom was talking about Steph being in Final Four.

At least one day and one night... long enough for her to bond with Tom and a couple of others.

The best all around female Survivor contestant ever in my opinion! Great athlete but also great work ethic. Willing to do whatever it takes and she never gives up.

I am not sure she is the best ever--she is indeed one of the best. In Survivor 1, Kelly won 5 individual immunities in a row--oe she never would have made it to F2. I think that is pretty tough in itself. And Kelly also never gave up.

I expect Steph is every bit as good as Kelly, however until she gets the 5 IC wins, she still hasn't matched Kelly's efforts.

I almost agree with you Lance except for one thing - Kelly's tribe was much stronger than Steph's. That, IMO, gives her the edge. She is simply my fav contestant ever and the best.

I felt so bad for her when she broke down and was crying. But as usual she sucked it up and continued playing her great game.

(I do wish tho that she knew had to spell her name; drives me nuts.)

Steph ROCKS!

Her father is Stephen and she's named after him so it works, but it makes me crazy too.
