The Ponderosa clips make me glad that the first four jury members are the first four jury members. Randy, at least, talked to her and told her she just needed to give them time, and then they shared a laugh about Randy making her life hell. I find Corinne just dispicable, and am really disappointed in Marcus. Charlie won't talk to her because his "friends" might disown him? Geez, he is a lawyer, so he is at least 7 years removed from high school, but you would never know it with that mindset.

Boy, I just watched the videos of Crystal and Corine at the Ponderosa.

All I can say is that Corine and her buddies acted like a bunch of spoiled brats. Charlie said it best when he said he felt like a two year old. But he admitted he was afraid to be nice to Crystal because his friends would disown him.

Corine's comments on the way to Ponderoa showed in a nutshell why she was disliked by the people she left behind. She called her and her friends the cool popular kids and the others the mutants. She showed her high school mentality. Has she not progressed past that?

She showed a sense of entitlement that is next to none of the people who have been on the show, and there have been some beauts. Wow! What a prima donna she turned out to be.

Their treatment of Crystal is absurb. I don't care how bad the relationships in the game were, to hold a grudge and act so horrible to someone, is just awful.

At least Randy did speak to her and tell her that things would probably get better. Of course we do not know all that happened out there, but nothing can justify their behavior. I would hope that his sense of independence would make him go against Corine and the rest. He never seemed to go along with the croud.

Hopefully Kenny will be the next to go and at least she will have someone to talk to. I never really felt sorry for her on the show because she was not very nice sometimes too, but this made me feel for her. She is showing her strength of character by not being resentful and putting it behind her and being willing to be friends. Too bad the rest are not so mature.

Slinky, it is obvious our minds work the same on this. They did seem like a little high school clique didn't they.

I think Kenny thinks that he is delusional...I think he truly believes that the jury doesn't know about any of his behind the scenes manipulation.

Who would have guessed that Randy would be the most compassionate out of the four?

Oh my, I just watched the Ponderosa video...how embarrassing for the (in their own minds) fantastic four. I don't care how bad things got out in the jungle...the mark of maturity is that you treat people with kindness no matter how they have treated you...it really shows how immature they are. I too was amazed that at least Randy was speaking and I'm so totally not amazed at Corinne's behavior, but I expected better from Marcus and Charlie. They have gone down a lot in my mind as far as character is concerned.

They didn't have to be her best friend, but they could have acknowledged how upset they were with her and then moved forward. This just makes them look like spoiled, petulant children.

Well, I wouldn't go as far as calling Randy compassionate.


He only smiled because he was able to make Crystal's life hell. THAT made him happy.

Crystal said Well, there is that Randy smile. showing her mature attitude in the situation.

I can understand their behavior. Crystal drove them crazy for weeks on end, so one day of the silent treatment isn't hard to understand. Corinne is behaving that way because that's the kind of girl she is. Charlie is being Charlie, going along with the group. Marcus had been willing to redraw his alliance to include Crystal when he found out his friend was her cousin, and Crystal promised not to vote him out but broke her promise that same round. She (along with Kenny and GC) drove Randy nuts from day one.

Maybe viewers are feeling sympathetic toward her because she just lost, but so did these other people. Since Crystal was a part of that, and their losses are still fresh as well, it's a given that they're not ready to welcome her with open arms yet. Between losing $1 million partly because of her, and having to put up with her behavior at camp, it would've been phony for them to behave otherwise at that point. I'm sure at the reunion they'll be over it and much more cordial.

Meanwhile, if you think this is bad, imagine what that final TC will be like.

I just watched the Ponderosa footage...what a bunch of little babies. Too bad the general public won't see this. I think at Ponderosa is where their true personalities really show, and the only one that I think gets it and shows themselves to be a mature and classy person is Crystal. The rest have shown their real personalities, and I'm not impressed.

I don't think Corinne has the ability to ever be cordial.

ITA Sea.

Either she was hurt deeply at some point in her life or was raised to only consider herself. She is only happy when she is feeling superior to others. When someone gives back to her as good or better than what she dishes out , it upsets her world.

I doubt that anyone that knows Corrine IRL is surprised by her juvenile behavior. She hasn't matured yet and may never be blessed with it...too bad for her.

She won't have many if any fans. She's the type that will google herself and no matter how immature she will be hurt to see how disliked she is.

She lost the game and even used a fake idol LOL she'll feel foolish about that for a long time no matter how she tries to spin it.

It can't feel good to be widely disliked.

There are people who can rationalize why others dislike them. It is, of course, never anything they have done but rather the other people - all of them - have some sort of problem.

Marcus went way down in my book after that clip and Randy went up a bit.

Crystal hated Randy in the game and was prepared to be nice to him, those 4 should be ashamed. Corrine would have never been in the cool/popular crowd in my jr High/HS and I have a feeling she wasn't in the real popular crowd at her HS.

Well, when they had the family member challenge, Corinne said that her brother knew how "mean" she was and loved it. If that's true, then she'll have somebody to support her nasty atitude and will probably never gain any self-awareness from this experience.

Dalton's EW Blog this week is pee your pants funny!!

here is a snippet

"But the saddest part of all had to be the fact that as soon as Crystal started making her way to the hoop, we all just knew — knew — she was gonna miss. It is her destiny."

and from Jp's blog it seems Crystal is a good sport about all of this and is laughing with them

It is too bad that Bob made that stupid deal with Kenny. I would have much rather Kenny went home instead of Crystal. I hope Bob or Sugar wins and Kenny loses.

Is Suzie really on this show? I have no thoughts on her cause they just never show her doing anything.

Suzie was the game changer. I don't know why they are showing so little of her now, but if she hadn't flipped, there wouldn't be any Crystal or Kenny here now.

I really don't have a favorite. Was glad to see Crystal go, and will be glad to see Kenny go. After that, I don't think I care who wins.

ITA about Suzie about Suzie being the game changer. If Suzie hadn't flipped, we'd have a much different final five.

because Suzie flipped - Marcus,Charlie,Randy, & Corine would never vote her for the win. I don't believe she could win even over Sugar. Everyone else still left in the game will want her sitting F3 with them because of this so she will make F3.

If Bob makes F3 - Bob wins hands down. I hope this happens. He'll have to win the next 2 IIs though to get to F3 & my fingers are crossed for him to do this.

My ideal F3 would be Bob,Sugar,Matty - But, since Suzie will already be assured one of the spots I hope she's sitting there with Bob & Sugar.

I can't stand Kenny. He comes across as being such a sly person to me. And all that "I'm the mastermind" stuff. Can we say delusional. Bob for the win!

may i ask a few questions?

why is it okay for sugar to do things but despicable for Kenny to 'play the game' -- jpiddy's words-- ?

how is Matty playing? -- i love his charm and love story, but still. his best move is to mope, rant, lament and ask the girl straight for her hii? dint even back that up with thoughts like : you shall wear it but pass it to me just when ... ...
i bet THAT was SUG's idea!

sorry about caps w/w.o., I'm one arm bandit here! :-)

chy..sorry about your cracked wrist. same thing happened to me LAST December.
I really don't care for Sugar either, I do not like the smirking that went on at tribal councils that she, Kenny and Crystal did week after week.
Kenny is playing the game, even tho I don't care for him either, he should definitely win if he is against Susie in the finals.
My hope is for Bob,Matty and Kenny in the final 3.
