we always have this thread in big brother so i thought i would try it over here since we have awhile now to get to know the contestants.

Like
Randy- old and cranky but it's funny to me and he does try at all comps

Matty- good competitor

Bob- smart and does very good at challenges especially with his age.

Middle
Charlie- havent really seen much of him so i cant put him up or down.

Corinne- I keep waiting to see the self proclaimed b*tch. when she finally unleashes (hopefully this week on susie) i might move her up or down.

Sugar- yeah you found the idol, i think it's been found every season so. besides that what have you done besides stink at challenges and follow like a sheep. hypocritically i put you in the middle cuz your cute.

Dislike
Kenny- a few episodes ago you probably would have been in the middle. you have rallied to save your a$$ the last 2 weeks but you seem bitter.

Crystal- what a huge letdown athletically. you have stunk at challenges and have been a huge disappointment. also you seem very bitter and i question if you are even having any fun out there at all.

Susie- you stink at comps and strategy and you appear to want to be dragged to the end without doing anything. a waste of pick to be on the show.

Oregonguy, I agree with everything you said except Kenny. I don't like or dislike him. Whatever Jeff said before the season started makes me think we should be feeling more positive about him, but I cannot remember what Jeff said.

Oregonguy, thanks for doing this!

LIKE: (in no particular order)
Randy (Oops! I hope I didn't just jinx him.) I agree with what OG said. I think his attitude is at least part act, though. Gets him good air time.

Matty (Ditto on the jinx.) Seems like a nice guy from what we see, and he does really try hard. I can't wait to see the sparks fly this week between Randy and him, though.

Bob (Triple ditto) Doing well for an older contestant and really tries hard, IMHO. I do wish he'd put his shirt on, though. The skin and bones are starting to creep me out.

UNDECIDED:
Sugar is likeable, but I'm a little put-off by the crying and the fact that she just doesn't try at competitions.

Corinne hasn't completely alienated me yet, although some of her comments and attitude have bothered me a bit. We'll see how it goes this week. She may move up - b*tch or not - if she let's Susie have it good.

Kenny is also playing a good game, I guess. But, there's something about him that prevents me from moving him out of this category. . . .Maybe it's his dirty fingernails.

Charlie is okay. . . .I think he tries.

DISLIKE
Crystal just drives me crazy. I really wanted to like her, but she rubs me the wrong way. . .has done so since she used the excuse that her shoes were too heavy for her to move more quickly. What??? And the other competitions? If you read Jeff's blog this week, he hit it on the head. First, using the excuse that she's a sprinter and is not good at all athletic events is inane. Secondly, my dogs could have done a better job at most of the competitions. A waste on the show.

Susie. OG hit it on the head, again. There is something about that look on her face, too, that makes me want to slap the crap out of her. Whiny. . .Whiny. . .Whiny. . . "I just have to make Final Three." God help us all.}

I know that we were doing the ones that were left, but I thought I'd add a couple of the ones that are gone. . . .

LIKE
Marcus. . .Who didn't like Marcus, really?

UNDECIDED
Dan could grate on my nerves, but I think he was playing. I would have liked to tell him to "MAN UP!"

Michelle, Gillian, Paloma, Jacque and Kelly. . . .Didn't really know enough about them to move them up or down. Gillian would probably have driven me crazy, and I think Jacque would have been okay. . . .just not too sure to move them out of this category.

DISLIKE
Ace and his disappearing accent, superior attitude, sense of entitlement and generally irritating comments were enough to put him in this category for me. I will give him this: He did compete, and he wasn't a wasted spot on the show.

Danny was out of his league. . .He did waste someone else's possible spot on the show.

Liked looking at Marcus but he's only a memory now. We never got to see enough of Kota. Oh well.

Like: Sugar (cute as a button) and Bob (smart, smart, smart)

Dislike: Susie, Crystal, Corrine, Randy, Kenny.

Others: Are there others? If there are, they've made absolutely no impression on me whatsoever.

(LOL) Tess....yep, you left out Charlie and Matty

If you miss looking at Marcus, go here and watch the 3 clips from the Ponderosa section. They have just started with Marcus as he is the first on the jury, and therefore, the first at the Ponderosa. No spoiling here, but good stuff "behind the scenes".

I can't stand players that just ride by on the coattails of the others. If they are good in challenges (physically or mentally) or are good strategic players, I have a tendency to root for them.

Therefore --- I root for Matty, Randy, Corinne, Charlie and Bob
I'm on a fence about Sugar as she seems to be doing nothing, but then she fools me with a good competition on the barrels.
I do not root for Crystal, Kenny or Susie.
If those 3 were to leave next ... boom, boom, boom...then I would have to decide how I rank the others in my estimation for rooting for. Crystal, Kenny and Susie all just give me the creeps.

I love Matty, and I am also a bit of a fan of Randy, only because he is such a curmudgeon.

I don't care either way about Bob or Charlie. Charlie was a bit annoying at first with his love of Marcus, but we didn't have to see much of it, and now Marcus is gone, so maybe Charlie will start playing the game a bit more. Bob is smart, but playing that under-the-radar game that doesn't let us get to know him. I don't have a clue how he'll be as the weeks go on, as his UTR game may make him easily expendable because nobody will see him as a friend enough to fight for him to stay.

I strongly LOATHE Corrinne and Kenny. Corrinne's comments are so mean and arrogant. Like she thinks she's queen bee there. I can't stand her walking all over everyone, and acting like people shouldn't be playing the game all around her. I will jump for joy the episode when she gets her come-uppance. Kenny is like a starving animal who will do ANYTHING to stay one more week, but I don't think he is playing an overall good game.

Susie, while she may not seem like a great competitor in challenges, and she may put her foot in her mouth sometimes, seems to make better swing vote decisions than Sugar does. Marcus was NOT her ally, and once the merge happened, Marcus did NOT have her back. Smart cookie there. And she recognized she was not good in challenges, so she said she was going to step up at camp to make up for it. It shows she recognizes what people do and don't value in the early portion of the game.

Sugar is someone I neither like or dislike. She made a dumb move dumping Ace, in exchange for two people who have never shown her that they had her back. For that, she should not make it to the end, IMO.

I like Crystal, but she loses in challenges, she alienates people, and seems to have a really downer attitude toward everyone else. But I like that she schemes. I am not hoping for her to win, but I'd like to see her game turn around.

Eeyores, ITA with your comments regarding Corinne. In the last couple of weeks since she started getting air-time, her less than shining personality has come through.

I like Sugar's spirit, but she is terrible at challenges. If she were playing Big Brother I would hope she makes it far, but she is playing a game of Survivor without any real survival skills or ability to step forth in the physical aspects of the game...

I love Crystal and Randy. They are fun and entertaining.

I am also rooting for Sugar and Charlie.

Bob, Matty, and Kenny seem like good people.

Not liking Corinne too much. Susie undecided.

Hey :-)
I'm surprised to see that other people besides me like Randy.. or at the very least find him entertaining!
As for the rest...
LOVE: Matty, Bob (the bowtie kills me)
LIKE: Sugar, Randy, Kenny
HATE: Corinne, Susie (glad she ousted Marcus though)

I truly dislike Randy more than most any other Survivor. He has this mean evil way about him that turns my stomach.

LOL Sea about Charlie. We haven't seen much of him lately.

I don't hate or dislike any of them.

I do like Bob's attitude.

Too soon for me to really root for any of them.

I really like Bob, but need to think a bit before figuring out the rest of them. Still, something I'm pondering about:

Oregonguy said: "Susie- you stink at comps and strategy and you appear to want to be dragged to the end without doing anything. a waste of pick to be on the show."

Last night I watched a Youtube:
Survivor: Gabon - More Rationing Laws at Kota Marcus and Bob explain the rationing rules to their new members, Ken and Crystal.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1cD8b17bMY

This Youtube makes it clear that Susie is also the LunchLady, responsible to make sure all food portions are equal. "Susie-Q, we've put her in charge."

I don't particularly like Susie, BUT to be fair, I've seen Susie doing a LOT of hauling wood and working. Haven't seen Corine doing much besides flapping her gums (granted, much might be due to editing because the gumflapping & dissension creates good TV).

So Susie's been delegated & assumed responsibilities. Yet she's placed at the 'bottom of the totem pole' & even lower than the outsider Randy brought from another tribe (i.e. when it came time to vote Dan off, using Susie to take the hit should Dan have the HII). Not surprising that Susie's feeling disrespected, insecure, and not too loyal. Won't be surprised if Susie willingly 'offs' Bob next, particularly after his comment about how he wished he voted differently at last tribal council WRT offing Dan.

Biscotti, ITA agree with you. I really don't like the way they are trying to throw Suzie under the bus when she's obviously the worker bee around the camp. While Suzie is not one of my favorites, she's working much harder than Corinne.

Susie may be a huge asset to the tribe in that she hauls wood and tends to the camp, but she is a loose cannon. The group knew that they could count on Corinne to be loyal, they knew that "outsider" Randy would do whatever he could to keep the group safe. Susie is just too unreliable for them to put her at the top of the totem pole. I guess in balance they would rather have smaller pieces of firewood and safety in the game than have the long burning logs and the emotional instability of not being able to count on the player...

don't like Randy, I don't waste my time liking people who don't like people.

Crystal really surprised me at how she isn't very good at comps

Corriane thinks she is tougher than she really is, lol.

Matty, I likes him
Kenny, smart player
Sugar, sweet but terrible at comps
Charlie, sweet
Bob, good player and nice person

But Bon... the reason she is so unreliable is she knows she's at the bottom of the totem pole. This reminds me of the season with Denise the Lunch Lady (who wasn't really a lunch lady) - she had the chance to change the game and go against her "team" when she knew with her alliance she was at best playing for 4th place or 5th place (I can't remember which... but that's exactly where she went out).

I guess it is a chicken and egg thing... Which came first, the unreliable Susie or the bottom of the totem pole? They may not have had a lot of confidence in her from the get-go and thus not brought her into the center of the onion... or she wasn't in the center of the onion thus wavered in her reliability...
