LOL - Yes Lexie - I was posting about James. Regarding my knees, after all these years, I think we better not discuss it, but so far I'm doing okay!!! (Thank God for Crocs)

LOL sorry Alaginger - I glanced over the post and saw TNT's post, thought I'd throw some sympathy your direction since you always take pity on me and post the spoilers. <Nevermind>

James resents being expected to play his role on the show as he thinks others see him, yet he himself expects Tom, Steph, Colby etc to play the roles HE sees them in and they have had longer to evolve out of them. He sees editing for himself but doesn't he think others are also edited so that his perception of them may be out of whack. Because no matter how he tries to sell it, he had the comfort of a larger alliance who knew each other in and out of the show and seems to project his own feelng that those outside his alliance needed to toe the line onto them and accuses them of expecting that of him. Editing or not he provided some ugly soundbites. If that second bit about surgery is later then the first it would sound like something is still torn or the meniscus repair or replacement didn't heal properly or was re injured after surgery either during rehab or lack there of.. sucks to have to go back in but best to do it quickly and then do serious rehab. ACL surgery in an athlete who wants to return to a sport at an elite or pro level often takes up to 9 months. With ACL/meniscus tears it would have been foolish indeed had he been kept to compete more. OUCH. Unless he had been allowed to have a heavy duty custom kneebrace, that is. I guess they target Rob out of respect. I hate to think that Russell will try to take all the credit for his ouster because from what Tyson says above, Rob was a major target of many.

I'm with you Pamy. I adore James and didn't find him rude at all.

I did find him rude-unsportsmanlike a few times this season like when he threw the bag after kicking Randy's ass in the challenge. The last couple eps have shown the James I fell in love with and his after show interviews really show me he is such a sweet soul.

I still like James. IMO, I think Steph and Tom just rubbed him the wrong way. With the editing, we don't know what all happened between them either.

Tanks to Dani over at Survivor Skills, a great synopsis from the poster blackwhale of things to come in the next two episodes: ************************************** blackwhale (03/24/10 09:12 PM) Next episode is the Rob vs. Russell showdown. I know many of the details have already been posted, but Rob and his two girls face off against Russell and his two, with Jerri and Coach in the middle. Tonight, we saw Coach say he felt himself being pulled one way by Russell and the other by Rob and Tyson. With Tyson gone, the pull of Rob is strongly weakened as Coach votes for Courtney this time, refusing to take a side. His vote is irrelevant, so it comes all down to Jerri. Jerri remembers what happened in All Stars. It's not a sense of bitterness or an agenda she has had, but she knows she needs to strike against Rob before he has the opportunity to strike against her. She has seen how deadly he can be, even if indirectly. So a 4-3-1 vote goes down, and Russell prevails again. With Coach having acted against Sandra and Courtney, he has given them reason to go the other way. All of the girls are not interested in keeping Coach so he can continually vote for girls and sway whereever the wind blows. He's struck against Parvati, he's struck against Courtney, so Parvati convinces her alliance to remove him. In episode 8, after Rob is gone, Russell has lost his storyline, and Parvati will finally shine through as a power player. Unlike Russell's willingness to take risks for her, she is not at all concerned with Russell's welfare. She doesn't see the sense in striking at Sandra or Courtney when they are targeting Russell. I think this will be the episode where we see the ever-important alliance between Sandra and Parvati emerge in the editing. I know Coach gets at least the 5 votes from Parvati, Courtney, Russell, Danielle and Sandra, and I believe Jerri might even jump on the bandwagon. Coach again will vote for Courtney.

oh booooooo if the remainder of the season is going to focus on the Parv storyline I will puke. They are all so worried about Rob when Parv won the last one, they deserve to lose.

My weird little mind was just thinking about a future season where a tribe of new-people Survivors play against medical-injury repeats. Those that have either been taken out by medical or by sympathy vote of their tribe because of burns, bowel blockage, low blood pressure, bummed up legs (Johnathan and James), shoulders that pop out of socket, etc. I really think they could come up with a team of 10 using those people. It could be called Newbies Versus Crips (or something).

Oh, that would be a cool premise, Ginger! Add in that guy who HAD to have 4000 calories a day to survive. Can't remember his name, but Jeff was very hard on him for voluntarily opting out. He also could not swim, was very muscle-bound.

You could have a Quitters/Crips tribe, and call them the Quips. Of course, there needs to be a "No Fairplay" clause if you invite quitters. That guy is so vile to me, even typing any variation of his name makes my stomach turn. The Newbies could be called Fresh Meat, or some local derivation of the term based on whatever location they film at.

Jeff has stated that quitters won't be allowed to return, but those medically removed would be interesting to have return. But than might not mean those just voted out as a pity vote which might not include James and I think you all want to include him again. Frankly anyone who has been on three times shoud just stay home. They would never use Fresh Meat since Real World Challenges have used that term before and are using it again on the new challenge season starting about now. The newbies.. hmm the uninjured (so far) or the not yet injured. Or untested vs shopworn. But I'm sure if Jeff has a say, you won't see Fairplay or Osten and didn't Susan quit on the first ASS?

Sea, I think you are correct that Susan did quit the first ASS. Wasn't Osten afraid of birds?

What people fail to remember, intentionally or otherwise, was that Osten had a staph infection. You don't mess with those. He had medical problems when he got off that island.

What a memory you have, Ladytex! I have a hard enough time remembering what I had for dinner the night before. Before he left the Island, was the medical team at least giving him any antibiotics for it? If not, that's just crazy.

Susan Hatch - Per Wikipedia: **************************** She made Final 4 in the first Survivor (Survivor: Borneo). This part taken from Wikipedia - "Survivor: All Stars Hawk returned to Survivor in 2004, for the special Survivor: All-Stars competition. She did reasonably well in the All Stars season until an awkward incident prompted her to leave. During an immunity challenge, a naked Richard Hatch rubbed up against her, and during the entire subsequent episode Hawk seemed to become more and more angered, embarrassed, and upset over the incident. At the next reward challenge, Survivor host Jeff Probst made a passing reference to the incident, which prompted Hawk to respond with a very angry speech, accusing Probst of making light of something that Hawk viewed as harassment. Due to the nature of the show, Hawk's competitors were unsure how much of her emotion was real and how much was part of the game. Despite the fact that Hatch had been eliminated on the prior episode, Hawk claimed that "her mind left the game 24 hours ago" and decided to remove herself from the stress of the game in order to be with her husband again."

I choose never to forget that Osten thought he was drowning when all he had to do was stand up in the water. Another gem was watching him with the bird. LMAO!

I wasn't really advocating allowing quitters back. I was just feeding off the previous post and tried to make a joke with the potential tribe name. I thought Quips was kinda funny. But, I was tired and things tend to be a lot funnier when you're slap happy. Of course, I'm still tired cause I'm still waiting for a chance to see my bed after 4 1/2 days this time (yea, I have napped in my chair, but nothing beats a good sleep in a bed). Now I think I'm past slap-happy and I'm just cranky.
