Two hour Bachelor on ABC has nothing to do with CBS (TAR and Survivor). I could always use more of TAR, for sure.

Chy, not sure anyone is supposed to like Sandy. She certainly didn't appeal to me.

Sea, I understand two-hour Bachelors have nothing to do with CBS. I'm whining because TAR, which constantly wins Emmy awards, does not have two-hour shows (especially premieres and/or reunion specials), but ABC seems to think we want two hour shows of The Bachelor. I'm just being whiney.

I think the note about the hii DID say it was good for first tribal council only. At least that is what I thought I heard. I thought when Jeff pointed out at tribal council that Sandy kept disappearing, she should have squealed that she was looking for an immunity idol. The time to use it had passed, so why not?

Probably because she didn't want her tribe to know how selfish she was to be doing that while they were trekking to the site instead of starting on a shelter for the group. Sure doesn't make her look like a team player!

I've had strep throat alot and the doc has said that 24 hours after starting antibiotic you are not contagious anymore. She said she had been taking them for 3 days, I believe.

I don't know why but I'm liking this cast for the most part so much more then I have in the last few seasons. I hope they don't change my mind drastically like certian ones did last season (thinking Crystal & Ken). I'm just sorry I have to wait for delayed viewing due to work circumstances.

I can see Sandy being 53 and just having bad genes and a hard life combined because I've met people like that. I don't see her lasting too much longer.

Goddess put it best about Sandy for me - Sandy really, really bugs me but she's so eager it's hard to truly dislike her.

I won't be sad if she goes soon. Don't have many opinions on any others yet. The other girl "voted off," what was her name again? I liked that she chose to try to build camp instead of looking for the hidden II.

Eeyore, rofl! I, too, was surprised that the girl with such perfect breasts would be voted off over Sandy. She must have been much, much more bossy than we were shown.

1. Renaissance Man is someone who is knowledgeable in many areas.

2. If Sandy is 53, then I'm 25.

3. If Sandy really doesn't know what a "pace" is, then I'm Einstein!

4. It's entirely likely Sidney had strep throat and was recovering. Although she said she was still feverish. But if she really DID have strep, I'd doubt the producers would put her on the show as she'd be most contagious when she was running a fever. IIRC, strep is contagious for something like 2-3 weeks after the worst of the symptoms are gone. Also, if she'd been on the antiobiotics for three days (isn't that what she said?) she shouldn't have still had a fever.

5. Not surprised Carolina went home. If she annoyed me with the bits they showed, I can only imagine what she was like in RL, 24/7. WRT her breasts, I didn't get the impression that anyone thought she was all that hot, or that that really mattered. I got the impression that these peeps are serious about winning and picking the strongest to stay in order to achieve that.

I've absolutely known 53 year olds who looked as aged as Sandy. It depends on what kind of life you've led. Sun damage can also do a lot of that to you.

Hermy, go watch those insider clips on cbs site. Sandy probably set Carolina up for a drama queen as well....

Costa, you are 25! Since Sandy is now trying to pass as 1) 39 y.o., 2) mid-40s, and finally settled on 3) 48!
^ I'm not loling at older women. I am one myself. You just got to go see Sandy tells it herself.

And Costa, you are Einstein!
Sandy thinks her tribe would think of her as cool if they knew she run dirt bikes and go karts, compete in school bus figure eights (and) drive a race car...If my 14 year old grandson allows me to play with him, I don't know why these idiots won't. << Her own words.

Sandy said she's a fan before the show started. Now I don't believe she gets the game.

Hermie, ITA. I know some 45 yr olds that look way older, due to not taking care of their skin in younger years, smoking, drug use, and too much sun. I know I would look younger if I would have quit smoking sooner.

I was surprised her job is a bus driver, I was expecting her job to be more outdoorsy which would explain a little more about her skin. She also appears to have lost weight quickly in the face thus making her eye sockets look more sunken than normal. Also she is not in full makeup, I bet she looks 15 yrs younger at the reunion.

Well then I must have freakin' fantabulous genes cuz I was a so Cal sun bunny into my 30's, smoked, and didn't take care of my skin when I was much younger. The only thing I've never been is a drinker or drug user. Sandy truly looks about 10 years older, and not a good 10 years at that.

(Plus, someone upthread commented on her expressions and the big wide eyes kinda freak me out!)

Pamy, I'll take that bet about the 15 years younger at reunion. That is assuming she doesn't win and/or doesn't go get any cosmetic surgery before the finale!! :-)

I smoked for 45 years and sat in the sun back in the days they said it was healthy. I'm 68 and I promise you I look younger than Sandy. I have a friend who is in her late 40s who looks the way Sandy looks. She claims to hate me because most people think I am younger than she is. My daughter at 41 works at a high school and people who don't know her think she is one of the students.

One of the oldest looking women I knew was a P.E. teacher I worked with in my first school librarian job. I thought she was in her 60s and was shocked to learn she was in her 40s. I always thought it was sun damage from being outside all of the time, but I bet genes do have a lot to do with it.

I was sunbathing in the days of baby oil and iodine and smoked for 30+ years. I THINK I look very little older that Sandy - and I am soon to be 68!

Yeah! I saw that on the preview! So who is her husband? Someone rich? If so she is a grade A IDIOT. Get to know your tribmates and bond, but don't tell stuff like that!!

Not that there wasn't enough incentive on past seasons for people to want a million. With the economy the way it is now? They definitely don't want someone winning that who doesn't need it.

And LOL. Costa, did you mean Sierra instead of Sidney??

I know what a Renaissance man is supposed to mean, I just think there is a fine line between Renaissance man and annoying know-it all and to me, Benjamin has already stomped all over that line. Renaissance man = sexy, know-it-all = blech.

TNT, 68?!! no way!!! I have met TNT in person several times and there is no way she is 68, she is in her early 50s!

Costa, yeah heavy drinker/drug user will really add to the facial lines and haggerd look. HEY! I just noticed you said used to smoke,,,did you forget to go back to the smoking thread and tell us!?

I was sunbathing in the days of baby oil and iodine...

OMG, that is hilarious! I was going to post about sunbathing with baby oil/iodine and thought, nah... And whoops! There you go! And yes, I spent years with baby oil! I just realized though, that most of my 20's and 30's were spent in the sun with my face shaded with a visor. So maybe that helped some, but still...

Pamy, yes ma'am! :-)

Speaking of sunning, years ago when I was a kid I remember that one day our neighbor ran out of suntan oil and decided to slap on some cooking oil. Well she fried all right! She was fire engine red. Amazing what people used to do.

Cooking oil --- yikes! I have fair skin and suffered some pretty bad sunburns when I was a kid. That cooking oil image just makes me shudder!
