Yes, I can like Shambo as a TV character because I didn't have to live in camp with her, but I suspect if I did, she'd have gotten on my nerves right away.

Shambo created her situation herself. She never really tried to fit in, but instead held herself above the others (yoga). She didn't have to show her disdain or dislike for the 90210 group as much as she did, and she could have tried to fit in a bit. I don't know if she knew what Survivor is all about but it's as much a social game as a physical game.

There's not actually anyone I like on this Survivor. Maybe that's what it's missing for me. I've liked Russell's gameplay in the last two or three episodes but he was so unnecessarily rude and delusional the first four or so that I don't think I'd ever be able to like him. I like parts of Dave's gameplay but he doesn't have much of a spark to make me like him. The only one I'd say I'd like is Jaison, but I don't think he's playing a particularly good game. I wish I had someone to root for.

I like Shambo. She's just a 'do-er', not a socializer. And it's not unusual to not like people who don't like you. True, she's not very good at the game. Hooking up with Russell was probably her best move, and that wasn't really her doing.

As weird as this is, I agree with everything all of you have to say about Shambo. Even if she had tried to get along with the 90210 group with the yoga, it still wouldn't have mattered because she wouldn't have fit in and they wouldn't have accepted her. She is a "do-er" and not a socializer. She was not playing a social game with Galu, but she was playing one with FF and for all intents and purposes they are "her team." It's just weird - everything that everyone posted above with regards to Shambo is true.

OG, I agree with you about Russell. "It's just weird - everything that everyone posted above with regards to Shambo is true." yep.

Wasn't Shambo in the Marines? Even an officer if I remember right. Naturally those girls had no way to relate to that. Her body english, gestures and phrases are military. Then the fact that Rambo called and wants his hairdo back.

From Shambo's bio: Shannon Waters is proud to be the first female Marine Sergeant to play the game of SURVIVOR. Although she has completed her military service and is now in the world of sales, Shannon will always remain true to her roots as a second generation Marine. After serving her country for five years, Shannon went onto become a chef before changing gears to be a sales representative for a food service company. She credits her success to her industry knowledge and people skills. In her sales role, she feels connected to people soon after meeting them and is able to understand how to deliver what they genuinely need. This ability helped her achieve “Salesman of the Year” in 2008, along with the support of a great sales team.
