Ocean.. I totally agree with u all the way, I couldnt beleive how he said that! and when u said " I think Curtis really revealed himself for the first time in months -- that he only cares about survival -- and it's all an act. But the act broke down in tonight's live challenge!".. U are totally right.. Curtis and eddie were my favorite up until tonight when i seen Curtis's "true colors" ...and for the peeps that are basing their voting on "need" "deserving" or what not..but mind u Curtis makes $300,000 a year no question about that, therefore how can u use need as a main factor for ur voting technique? (just curious question and IMO) ..

Whatever happend to the words from curtis's mouth "the money dont matter, im in for the experience" Please gimme a break! .. Well anyways thats y i think his true colors have shown and im not changing my mind nor opinion of him... BTW Curtis sure didnt seem to sad when jamie left now did he??(considering they were so close one would think he would..JMO) dunno if anyone else noticed it but i sure did..

anyways thats just how i perceive things.. u can agree or not, thats ur choice.

Reading some of the comments here, I think it's really too bad that someone like Curtis who must have worked very hard all his life for his accomplishments is now being penalized. What happened to the American appreciation for good work ethic which Curtis has demonstrated so well in the house (and probably all his life)? Look at Eddie. Nice guy but a total lazy bum around the house who did very few chores and basically thinks that his constant swearing, casual racial slurs, horrible manners, etc. entitle him to the big prize. No way, Jose.

I hope Josh wins. Curtis don't really need it, and I still think Eddie is just a grown up bully. I knew people like Eddie in school, they could be funny and you could sometimes get along with them, but they always made you feel cautious and uncomfortable. I was really hoping Eddie was to be banished tonight, though I knew he wouldn't be.

Arrrgh!!! Curtis DOES NOT make $300,000 a year. Why do you throw out lies like that all over the place? Geezus! Pathetic.

I see nothing wrong at all with the answer Curtis gave. In all honesty, if I were one of the final three...after living in a house for 3 months for a reason (playing a game/trying to win said game) you can bet I'd do the same thing and answer with my own name. As much as I didn't want Rich to win Survivor, I have to give much credit to his final speech when he stated that he'd come to play a game, and he hoped the others saw just that....a guy that PLAYED THE GAME TO WIN.
Maybe it's not sweet and sugar-coated, but it's honest, and I give credit for that.

Stealth, you really get THAT sad when you're not going to see somebody for 2 days??

Rpupkin - I think Curtis has had alot of advantages to. Not everyone is fortunate enough to get an Ivy League education.

There is no way in hell that Eddie is winning the $500,000. Wake up. The American public is much smarter than that.

They all win, or not.
I feel that it would be nice for anyone.
No one here knows what will happen.
After the prize they all have to make life changing decisions.
Maybe Curtis will start drinking and Eddie will get a law degree, no one knows for sure.

why is it ok for eddie to say from day 1 that he's there to win the money but it's not ok for curtis to say that he also wants the money?

Skworm...what Ivy league school did Curtis attend? He did not attend any Ivy League School that we know of>

Also Federal Prosecutor starting salary is less than $100K...with the most stress you will ever have in your life. BB is a picnic next to wrorking in the Fed Prosceutor Office.

Curtis said he hopes to win not he should win. A few people here need to get their facts straight.

The difference is that Eddie said it to everyone in the group, Curtis said it in the RR w/o anyone else hearing :)

Stealth then what is your point in bringing up the fact that Curtis "didn't seem sad" when Jamie left? Keep in mind that you have no idea what Curtis is thinking, he could very well be reassuring himself that he's going to see her in a couple of days and that it's nothing to get down about at the moment.

Well, good luck finding it, Stealth because it'll be a long, futile search. And I hope you have the decency to apologize when you realize what you said was an out-and-out lie. Curtis at one point, did say that it was conceivable in the future that he could make $500,000 in THREE years - that means three years total. Then of course, Josh exaggerates that and in one of his RR talks, says that Curtis will make $300,000 a year...which is NOT what Curtis said. Now you're taking that as a fact...to use against Curtis.

I expected all 3 to answer the question with a resounding, "ME". Curtis was the only one, IMO, who was honest. Eddie & Josh were being a little less so. I intend to vote for Curtis.

Skwmom, you sound as if you believe Curtis just snapped his fingers and life smiled down on him. Fortune has very little to do with getting into and graduating from a highly respected University - hard work, sacrifice and dedication do.

This topic is a joke. For those who are "disappointed" in the answer that Curtis gave, consider if he had said either Josh (who
nominated Curtis every single time because he didn't think Curtis needed the money) or Eddie (who nominated Curtis almost every time). Everyone on this board would be calling Curtis a liar, and he would lose the thing he holds most precious -- HIS INTEGRITY!

Neither Josh or Eddie have been very close to Curtis. Josh and Eddie both took the easy way out on the question, since they had never nominated each other and did not want to look greedy. I really think Josh may have been sincere in his answer, but there is no way that Eddie is telling the truth. Eddie was playing his strategy to win, and there is nothing wrong with that either.

Actually Deni_San, with all due respect, this thread was not started to find *something* to cast Curtis in a negative light, so a favorite can win.

I am very disappointed in Curtis. I wanted to express that. Curtis himself gave me the perfect opportunity to express that by revealing himself on television this evening during the live challenge.

People who have leadership qualities are held to a higher standard, and should be. They must live up to that higher standard, or failure is the result.

His failure to confront Eddie's negative behavior is serious.

On top of that, he even began to ADOPT some of Eddie's behavior. The other night he said he was going to do the "b*itch" work.

That speaks for itself.
