Your hubby was king last year and you are queen this year? Too bad you weren't king and queen together. What are your official duties as queen, other than look fantastic.

Kooklie...I wasn't Queen when he was King because I wasn't even on the Court, so I couldn't be voted for. I was head of the Entertainment Krewe for that other Ball. My duties .... Appear at the monthly luncheon in February with the New King to be introduced to the membership of 267 ladies of the club. Give a "Thank You" party in March for this Court, and a "Twelfth Night" party in January 2008 for the new Court. Attend all Maid meetings for the new Court, go on Court trip, attend Christmas party and Royal Dinner, help the new Secret Queen, give gifts to the female Court members for Kick-Off Luncheon, Christmas, Court Trip, and Royal Dinner.........plus attend socials and help with fund raisers ........ but mostly to appear at next year's Ball and sit out front in a throne and watch the new Ball just before turning the reign over to the next group.

Alaginger congrats, you looked lovely. I lived in New Orleans for 4 years and enjoyed Carnival. I was unable to attend the only ball I was ever invited to, I can't even remeber the Krewe, a co-worker invited me when I was new to the city.

Thanks everybody for the kudos!!! I put these boot spoilers on earlier, but there appears to be a little bit more information added this time, so I'm reposting it. Early Boots: Sylvia, Rita, Jessica, Erica Late Game Boots: Dre, Earl, Cassandra, Yau-Man Michelle makes mid-Jury; weight loss of 10-15 pounds Jessica is the first boot There is a tribal switch before the merge - A player quits the game

You're right Seamonkey. Am I so conditioned to assume all the women usually go early and first? LOL!!

Actually, Eggie, I think at least as many women as men have won, haven't they?

MAJOR SPOILER - Please don't read any further if you really do not want to know the first 7 boots. How accurate this is...I don't know, but it has been posted at Survivor Blows as being spoiled by somebody over at Survivor Sucks who is suppose to have an inside. I'm cutting and pasting the entire quote for you below. ***************************** "Entire Pre-JURY Boot List (Updated) Feb 7th. For awhile now I’ve had information such as details on how the survivors lived on the island, details on who they knew and stayed in contact with. Things that just don't seem big, but really are. Along side that I also knew dates of when they would be traveling to New York. This is a compilation of what I know. PRE-MERGE 1st: Jessica 2nd: Erica 3rd: Sylvia 4th: Gary 5th: Liliana 6th: Rita 7th: Anthony Rita lands at sixth for she was voted out when the tribe was weak from food deprivation. They needed to keep strong and she was to busy trying to feed the tribe instead of working on socially saving herself. Anthony lands on 7th because pre-cast release information came to my attention that he had kept in great contact with Papa Smurf. Papa Smurf was later revealed to me to be Gary, Gary quits in episode four before or after the reward challenge, the only way the two of them really would’ve bonded is on a trip. I do know Rita lasts longer then Sylvie, and I do know Sylvie goes pre-merge. That puts Sylvie in the third spot, Rita in the sixth and Anthony is the final boot before a jury begins."

From today's paper Survivor: Can you believe we're starting its 14th season? This one takes place on Fiji, where a coup d'etat occurred two days before the final tribal council. The game continued despite the political unrest. A less significant bit of unrest did affect the game. One of the players, Melissa McNulty, 28, from Los Angeles, quit the day before filming started. The producers did not have an alternate on hand, so the game proceeded with 19 players. The return of "Survivor" also means the return of the Watcher's weekly spoiler e-mail newsletter. I send out the latest news about who's leaving and who's winning on "Survivor," "the Amazing Race" and other reality shows. To subscribe, just email me at watcher@michael-hewitt.net. So that is the name of the quitter.

That's so true Tnt!! So true, but then when I watched the apprentice and she "quit" I just felt she spared herself the humilation the Donald would've dumped on her before his shining "YOUR FIRED" so I didnt view that as "quitting" - and I could see a survivor saying, vote me out - again looking at the picture from their perspective - but from an editing/Survivor mode its quiting... I guess I cant judge them since I'm a couch potato coach!! lol

Folks.....your missing something here. Michelle quit before the show began, leaving only 19 players to play. In my post above it says that Gary quit in Episode 4 around the time of the Reward Challenge. So......we had a quitter during the show also. You need to know this if you are playing any of the games out there.
