There are people who want to further their career on most reality shows. She stuck through the 38(?) days, she didn't complain much, she played well in many ways, got that immunity idol on her first trip to exile, reached the final three, and she entertained us!!!... What of that makes her less worthy of being on the show that someone else? I'd rather see a whole tribe of her than one Corinne.

ITA Kitt. I loved watching Sugar and hated every moment that Coleen was on the screen. I think that all of them are given subtle suggestions via the camera crew. After all, it is television and if they are too boring, no one will watch and we will have a full week of CSI on one chanel and Jay Leno on another with inane sitcoms on a third.

I don't much care for people coming on Survivor for exposure, but I agree it makes her/them no less worthy. In my case, my comment was meant for if she was actually put there by producers and led along by them. *If* that was the case, that is what I would have a problem with.

What makes me crazy is the pedestal she's being put on. She's no saint, she's not so innocent, and class is relative. Her comments at voting, flipping the bird at Corinne (yes, she was provoked), and the whole Randy situation, which I think she had a big part in instigating, no way do I think she was innocent in that, make her simply human. No better than anyone else.

We don't have any indication that she was a plant, do we? Not sure where that came from - or is there talk of that somewhere? What pedestal? Getting a little bit confused here, must have missed some conversations! Is there a website with Survivor gossip?

Does anyone else think that the finale looked like a Gilligan's Island reunion? First, second and third place went to - The Professor, MaryAnne, and Ginger!--- Mameblanche from tvch HAHA! You're so right! i hope it's okay to quote and share this.

I didn't mean an actual plant... Oh never mind, I'm not that invested in this anyway. In the big scheme of my life, none of it matters.

Oh, more like an easy person for the producers to manipulate? I can see that might be true, she did seem to be pretty suggestible. I don't think whether or not that was true, though, that it detracted from her game play. I think what you see is what you get with Sugar. Actually that was true with most of them this year, it didn't seem like many of them were putting on a front to create an image, even at the start. Except maybe Ace .

I think Sugar has better character than Corinne by miles. She's human and has her faults but being mean is not one of them. Randy laughed at Crystal for being hungry, at least Sugar laughed at Randy for something that was funny(falling for the fake idol.) Bob was one of my favs so I'm so happy for him, I wished Matty could have won something since he was such a sweetheart.

For those that said they would believe Crystal if she said Sugar was mean - well she did. I read it in an interview she did on fans of reality tv. They asked her point blank if Sugar was nice or mean and Crystal said mean. But then Sugar was the reason she was voted off so again who knows. You really have to wonder though when that many people say someone is annoying, even though we were not shown that side, that there has to be something to it. Also (trying to remember where I read this one today) Sugar had some really mean comments herself to say about Corinne after the show on Sunday. She basically lowered herself to Corinne's level with them. It was an interview and am trying to remember with who.

Sugar was something of a polarizing player. Some people loved what she did and said, while others shook their heads because of the apparent lack of strategy. What does Sugar have to say about all this? Plenty! RealityNewsOnline: Hello, Sugar, and thanks for taking the time to talk to us here at RealityNewsOnline. I’d like to start with the question everybody wants to know: Have you ever met a bigger than Corinne? Sugar: Never in my life, I didn’t know they existed. I didn’t go to rich-people school. My high school experience wasn’t like an ‘80s movie, but this was, where the good guys win in the end and make the rich preppies all mad. RNO: What did you think of her non-apology at the reunion? Sugar: I was hoping people would boo until she actually left the stage. But I guess that’s been done already. RNO: Yeah, I was there booing at the All-Stars reunion when Jerri pulled that stunt. Sugar: Jerri’s nothing compared to her. RNO: Corinne made various comments about you during the game, such as those slamming you for supposedly being uneducated and unemployed. Sugar: Sorry I grew up poor in the south; we didn’t have it so easy. RNO: But she continued even afterwards. When I talked to her, she said of you, “she’s not very bright and she’s really annoying,” and then added, “if I saw her hit by a car and dying by the side of the road, I would not help scrape her body off the pavement.” Other than flipping her off, which I think was an entirely appropriate response to her nasty comments final Tribal Council, what do you have to say to her? Sugar: I think that’s hilarious. Her family really needs to take out really good life insurance policies because her karma sucks. When she’s hit with something tragic, then she’ll understand. RNO: Even taking all of this into consideration, why did you decide to lecture Corinne on her behavior during the game? Sugar: Because Crystal was right there and I knew Corinne couldn’t say anything and it was extremely funny. RNO: She looked like she was going to explode. Sugar: Yeah, and we could tell – it was really funny. Just to get her goat, actually. I guess I already got Randy’s. I’ve tried to apologize to Randy but he can’t be cool. RNO: I heard from some previous contestants that you received a princess edit, leaving out some of your more unlikable behavior. For example, Charlie said, “She demanded where to sleep in the hut. She tore up our bags and would wear them as dresses without asking; she would wear our clothes without asking. She said what on her mind all the time and did what she wanted to do.” How do you respond to what he and the others said? Sugar: It’s just funny because Charlie is being my friend when Corinne is not around because I guess he’s scared of her. I read his exit interviews because it hurt me to vote out Charlie because I thought he was halfway decent. I told him it was guilt by association. If they’re talking $#!t about me and you don’t stand up for me, you’re just as bad. He can go suck an onion [with the rest of them] too. RNO: Moving away from all of that, what was your strategy coming into the game? Sugar: Thanks for asking. I knew I needed an alpha male to carry me through the first half. I knew I had to leave them so it didn’t look like they had carried me the whole time. But I didn’t mean to kill Ace so early. I didn’t want to kill him at all. I feel very bad about that. Ace and I have since made up and had a road trip and jumped out of an airplane together. RNO: Do you regret playing emotionally and sealing your fate rather than playing more strategically and giving yourself a chance to win? Sugar: No, because I played to win America’s heart, not necessarily the jury’s. I believe Bob deserved it and Bob and Susie’s family were very appreciative. My sister told me that [before the finale] and I was like, “They should love me, I’m about to give him a million dollars!” I didn’t expect it to be so close though. Got to keep things interesting. RNO: Over the course of the past few months, what did you think your chances of winning were? Sugar: I knew I had third place. I didn’t have to get nervous. RNO: A minute ago, you said you were trying to win America’s heart. Can you explain what you meant? Sugar: I almost did until that stole it! (Laughing.) How the f*&% did you do that? Are you kidding me? (Still lauging.) I didn’t even think fan favorite could be the same as the winner. That sneaky bowtie . (Yes, still laughing.) RNO: Are you surprised you didn’t get any votes for your strategy? Sugar: Yes, I am surprised I didn’t get at least a vote or two from somebody who was into the game, but they saw only what happened at Tribal. Based on that, you’d think a vote or two could be thrown my way. I was really hoping for fan favorite and I didn’t get it. That’s because I don’t work in a high school – those kids are text crazy. RNO: Did Jeff Probst psych you out into believing you’d won the $100,000 last night? Sugar: No, everybody else in the world did. RNO: Did you want to smack him when he switched it over to Bob? Sugar: No, I think they gave me a pretty good check. I’m hoping for future work, which hopefully will lead to even more than that. The producers told my sister, “She was playing for more work and she’s going to get it.” I have to remind everybody I’ve been in SAG [Screen Actors Guild] for ten years. RNO: So then what’s coming up in your immediate future? Sugar: I got the best contract in 17 season of Survivor. I can be on TV for anything in January. RNO: That’s great! Sugar: I’m hoping we don’t freaking strike, because that would be the worst time in my life to strike. RNO: Do you have anything pending? Sugar: No. I did a movie when I came back from Africa and one came out while I was in Africa. I’m hoping we have a decent pilot season. I do some clothing company work. And also, I have never lived out of my car – that was just for the video. I need to make sure I get that emphasized. RNO: RNO: With hindsight being 20/20, is there anything you would have done differently? Sugar: I would not have killed Ace, I would have talked to Ace. I was too ready to let him go, and that was not cool. I would have talked to him. RNO: At the end, you based your decisions on who was a “good guy” and who wasn’t. How did you decide which players were “good guys” and which were “bad guys”? Sugar: Ken was like Smeagol and Gollum [from The Lord of the Rings]. I really didn’t know about him. Crystal, I’d heard her not getting along with other people but she and I got along great. The only reason it went like that was somebody had to go. For some reason, they freaked out on Matty and kicked him when he was down. I liked Matty a lot. He didn’t grow up poor like Crystal and I, but he didn’t act like a rich preppie @$$#ole. That made it a little easier to say goodbye to her. RNO: Over the course of the game, you said and did a few things that weren’t very nice in and of themselves. Saying things about Randy and Corinne is probably understandable, but what about Ace-Hole and the like? Sugar: For Ace-Hole – I totally got duped and I thought it would be funny, and I knew America would think [he was one] even though I didn’t. He was right [in the reunion], he probably should have tried to use an American accent. He has this air about him, he’s very condescending and thinks he’s better than everybody. I knew people around camp didn’t like that and I knew America would like it even less. Most of what I did was for entertainment value, since I wanted to get more work. RNO: Time is running out here, so is there anything else you’d like to tell us about your time on Survivor? Sugar: It was probably the best experience I’ll ever have. I’ll never get to dance with tribal people in Africa again. It was the most beneficial thing to grow a thicker skin. I needed to make peace. RNO: Thanks again, Sugar! Reality News Online.

I enjoyed Sugars responses. They seem very honest. From clips I saw of some of her acting gigs, I thought she was good. She should get some work and good for her (or her agent) for working out a beneficial contract. Obviously she is a real working girl, not a "wanna be". I get the sense she knew exactly what she was doing out there and while she regrets cutting Ace loose so soon, knew it would happen sooner or later. And boy did she ever use that HII to her advantage from the second she found it. I found her play interesting and entertaining to watch.

Well add Kenny to the list that says Sugar got a much better edit than she really was.

before the show was aired, SUGAR SAYS: ''I want to make everyone fall in love with me. And I want to be friends with everybody. That's all I got: my personality. I'm not strong.'' wonder if that's before game or after? has to be before i think.

Blegh. Didn't like Sugar from the start, and she ruined the game for Matty. Blegh. What a disappointing finale. Suzie cleaned up nicely. I'm happy she got 3 votes. Sugar was a fool to take Bob, as she had to have known that the jury was stacked with Bob's allies, not hers. I'm bummed that Matty didn't win a single thing.

her job was listed as 'pinup girl/actress' why are people acting like it's a big shocker now? LOL and honestly aren't most that are cast for this show 'acting', aren't we all actors in the game of life? She rocked this game and entertained many of us. I enjoyed the interview, she has a good sense of humor and isnt afraid to laugh at herself. I dont think she was a cbs plant

Eeyore ... wouldn't Matty have been long gone had it not been for Sugar? I thought she saved him but then it was up to him to show that he had some survivor skills. I liked Matty, but he just didn't get his fire going... Not Sugar's fault

Why was Sugar a fool to take Bob? She respected his game more and per the jury, Matty would have won with FIVE votes and while Matty is a really nice guy and really sweet, that's about what you can say about his game and game play. I'm with Pamy, I don't think she was a plant, I liked Sugar all season long and enjoyed her interviews too. And, hey, Bob liked her a bunch, too Matty lost it for Matty.. as Jeff said.. you need to learn to build fires..

I'm very happy with the outcome overall. I don't know how Susie managed to last so long though. I thought she was a weak player and was saved only by luck in the end. I saw a lot of sour grapes on the jury, but that's always the case. Corinne and Randy were just plain awful! I don't like that Marcus asked Sugar about donating money to charity. It's nobody's business and put her on the spot. He didn't ask the other two what charity they would give it to. And his response "Let's see if that's good enough to get my vote." was small of him. I liked him until then.
