Yes, that was the phrase of Ben's vote that I thought was disrespectful. However, perhaps I am behind the times here, and "pimp daddy" is a term of respect?

I know with Dylan's crowd (13-16yr olds) they use pimp as a word for cool. 'I'm so Pimp' means you are cool and a ladies man. 'Pimpin' means stylin', looking good. I have told Dylan that Pimp isnt a good thing. I told him what one was and he said we don't mean it bad like that. I wish my parents were alive cuz all the times they used to tell me 'you wont understand til you have a kid of your own' ...well, I totally understand now! ot, the other thing the teens here are doing is baggin their pants so their whole ass is out, showing their boxers, it drives me crzy! We had to implement a punishment to get Dylan to keep his pants up. Whoever thought that was an attractive look needs to be slapped.

I got it as Ben trying to be "cool". As to whether he had ever joked with Jerry about pimp daddy, I dunno. It was out of place and while it may be a slang term, I don't think Jerry is into that kind of slang.

yeah, Jerry's demeanor reminds me of Bill's and Bill would never say Pimp Daddy, he wouldnt care if someone did, depending on how/why they said it.

Pamy, the loose baggy pants looks to me like they're carrying a load.

I have a stupid question for the AA ladies here. I only know how my own hair behaves, and that all but one hairdresser in my life has compared it to AA hair. So that's all I have to go by.... How can Taj have long hair, compete in challenges that gets her drenched, be in the rain, and basically get her hair wet over and over, and have it NOT come out like a giant puff ball without putting product on it? I know if my hair gets wet (or even if I go somewhere with high humidity), my hair is nothing but a giant frizz ball (even when I have product on it). In fact, with my hair getting more grey by the minute, I'd probably end up looking like a giant dandelion seed pod. LOL. Even when I used to be able to get it chemically relaxed, it would still frizz up when wet (well, technically after it got wet and then dried) if I didn't put something on it.

I really don't understand why everyone does not get their hair cut extremely short before they go on survivor. It would be so much easier to take care of.

Taj may have extensions or a weave. I'm not sure what you call it, but my boss had fantastic hair that was straight and moved when she did. I asked her what she used on it because most AA women don't have straight moveable hair and she told me that it's mostly fake hair that's permanently attached somehow. Actually, not fake but not hers. She paid a fortune for human hair that was attached. I was interested because my granddaughter is AA and my daughter had to learn how to take care of her hair, but it never looked as good as my boss's hair and yes it turned into a puff ball when not cared for properly.

I'm going to petition the board to change Whoami's name to Q-Tip. Other than that, I have no idea how Taj's hair is cared for. I have normal straight honky hair and it is FRENCH-FRIED coming out of the shower if I don't do a leave-in conditioner. I mean, it is like straw. Hard water, no room for softener and whatnot. I can't imagine trying to care for long hair out there in the wilderness.

LOL GAL. Q-Tip, eh? Not Dandelion? I think a Q-tip would be too manicured looking for me. I'd definitely puff up more like a dandelion. There's an old college ID stored in one of my dresser drawers, with me in an afro so big it goes out of the frame of the picture. It was sooo....indescribable that when my aunt saw it she laughed so hard she literally cried! It wasn't a planned afro either. I just hadn't gotten around to getting it cut before they took ID pics that year. I hadn't thought of extentions or weaves. At first I thought braids, but it sure doesn't look braided to me. Aren't extentions and weaves rather high maintenance too? At least as far as being out in the wilderness. Come to think of it, all of the women look like their hair is well maintained. Maybe they let them have brushes/combs on the sly (without us knowing). Can't have people you pick for the show for eye candy come off looking all ratty you know.

Who, there's also several straightening processes that would allow her own hair to be straighter (if I recall, her hair isn't really straight but more wavy). And high quality weaves or extensions can last quite a while...

I had an AA friend years ago, who used to refer to her hair as a Brillo pad. She said the only way she could take care of it was to keep it cut very short. Of course that was a long time ago before all the great new products came on the market for all types of hair.
