Interesting that you have a soft spot for John when he used to come across as a real insensitive ass towards people when doing the ambush interviews he did. I realize it was "just a job" - but some of the questions he asked people were incredible (things on the the line of "are you still beating your wife" etc).

Here is a link to an unnoficial site with a huge sample of questions he has asked celebrities:

http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/3708/john.html

A small sample.....

Ted Williams (ex-baseball player) "Did you ever accidentally fart in the catcher's face?"

Imelda Marcos "If you pass gas at home in front of others, do you blame the family dog?"

Warren Beatty "Did you forget to pull out with Annette Bening?"

Chevy Chase "Do you read the scripts of the movies you choose to make, or do you go, "Eenie mennie minie moe?""

Connie Chung "Who's fault is it that you can't get pregnant?"

Cindy Crawford "Does your gynecologist send you love letters?"

Geena Davis "Were you Thelma or Louise?"

Phil Donahue "Did you ever use your glasses to burn ants by pointing them at the sun?"

Bob Dylan "How does it feel to be on your own, like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone?"

Frank Gifford "Does your son ever accidentally call you "grandpa"?"

Arsenio Hall "Are you mad at your dentist?"

Michael Jackson "Did you learn how to walk backwards to avoid your father's punches?"

Rush Limbaugh "Are you called Rush because you're in a rush to eat?"

I want to add that I do LIKE the guy (John) I have been watching on this show. He really does seem like a good guy.

But I also LIKE Robin Leach - even if he does come across as a bit of a chauvanist (sp) pig at times :)

None of these celebs has really annoyed me, I attribute most of it to the editing - lol. If we had a Live Cam like BB I might feel different.

I don't dislike any of them. They all have points in their favor.

I know they are whining, but I do feel bad for them. 10 inches is an INCREDIBLE amount of rain. Clearly neither the producers or the celebrities had any clue it would rain that much.

On the other hand, they are being pampered a TON!!!! They've given them more food, more dry clothes, prunes for constipation, they clearly have every personal hygeine product they could want, cigarettes, etc....

I think the producers really believed they would walk, so they caved. It is a live show, if the walk, no more show.

I think this threatening to walk thing is a tried and true method of negotiation in Hollywood.

This is Stuttering John's page. If you click on about John, there's a good article there from a mag that gives some history. ))same link as Tex posted above((

I know, Ryn, I agree. I'm just a big 'ole grump today, cause I refused to keep giving into my nicotene addiction. It has been a day + without those horrible manipulative chemicals in my bod.

You're also right about thinking about the charities that these folks are playing for and Robin is playing for a great group - MEALS ON WHEELS rocks!

I was annoyed at Tyson's reaction to Chris when he decided not to walk out... what was that? Guess it wasn't a real friendship after all.

I love this show cause it's so real! I mean, man, these conditions are horrendous that they're under... I love not knowing what's gonna happen.

Cyn, congratulations on not giving into that nicobeast... I quit a year and a half ago... if you want, go to www.quitnet.com it's a great quit site.

Laura, Tson was getting on my nerves last night so I voted about 20 times for him last night to do the last bushwalker trial. :)

OMG what happened to Bruce Jenner's face???? He looks like he is turning into a woman. Last night was the first time i've seen this show so i'm not completely sure what's going on and who some of these people are. Seemed like alot of complaining goin on to me.

I wondered about their hats being semi-dry also, it appeared to be pouring down rain, yet they didn't seem all that wet to me.JMHO

Con - from my post above...

"I think there is a giant tarp over the camp area, they mentioned that Robin's bed was under a hole in the tarp, and then last night Robin mentioned they all were moving their beds into the "living area" at night and that was not acceptable. "

Also, Bruce had nose surgery many years ago. Someone else posted someplace in this area that that surgury has given his face a feminine quality.

The other night Bruce told one of the other guys that he had the tip taken off or changed many years ago.

I voted quite a few times for Tyson last night, he is good looking, but also very arrogant, loud and rude, and not a good friend to Chris at all. I like Nikki, she is able to laugh at herself, she calls herself "Barbie" and sometimes those makeup scenes seem to be the same ones over and over, like they keep showing the same fight scenes between Alana and Julie.

I know there is no way I would have gotten into that tank with the leeches. So I say kudos to Julie for trying it and lasting as long as she did.

And it was just plain creepy how they were all going and latching on in the same area. I think that made it a lot harder than if they spread out over her whole body.

Anybody here honestly think they could have done it for the full 5 minutes?

Fluffy, if I didn't vote for him, I was going to vote for Bruce. He kept wanting it. I just want to see one of the "macho" guys have to do a trial.

Anybody besides me see a resemblence between Bruce and Phyllis Diller? She was on a soap opera yesterday (B&B) and the similarity was eerie. lol

Conejo

Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 09:37 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Bluejaxrock, YES he does resemble Phyllis Diller now that you mention it! He looks like he had more than a nose job - his eyebrows look like they have been lifted or something - makes him look very feminine. IMHO

Ryn, thanks for the info on a tarp covering the camp area I thought something must have been keeping the rain off of their hats!

Don't these people have agents and entourages (sp?) shouldn't they be use to leeches? I don't know if I could have done any of the challenges so far, I would have had to just picture the charity I wanted to win the money for, suck it up and do them!

For me so far, the box in the ground was the least scary.

Bruce has had his eyes done which is touchy for men. This is what gives him the feminine look. Liberace had the same problem after his eyes were done but you'd think the proceedure had been improved by now. Bruce also suffers from "pixie ears", this can happen with a face lift if your plastic surgeon isn't the best. The earlobes get lost in the proceedure and sort of become attached to the face in a way that looks elfish. Bottom line - not a very good job. Bruce looked better before. Like a masculine, aging athlete. I like his attitude on this show. He is upbeat and ready for a challenge.

Thanks Hummingbird! I haven't seen him for years and was shocked when I saw him last night. I do like him on the show and don't remember him complaining like everyone else. Don't understand why he wanted to have surgery - I remember him as always being a very attractive and masculine man.
His plastic surgeon should have his license revoked!

Oh great, now I am not going to be able to stop looking at Bruce Jenner's earlobes.

Anything that gets Tyson more 'face time' or 'body time' is all right by me!

I want Julie to be the first one voted off. What's with her obsession about Alana? Can't she EVER give it a rest? She really is a *itc*y woman, too. Alana may be a whiner, but I'll take that over a mean streak any day.

I liked that Alana decided she was going to stick it out (along with Bruce).

Tyson is bizarre, with his weird childish problem over Chris and Bruce being friends, and then lighting into his supposed friend for wanting to stick it out. He can go second.

Nikki seems like a waste of space, but she's a cute fun waste of space, and I like her Barbie comments.
