You know, he really deserved the win. He's got a lot of integrity and character, and it really showed thru this game. He kept his cool, and kept up a great attitude (thru the game, and since his ex decided to be an idiot).

Dipo.. just saw the same thing here.. and then the stupid host said "Go, John!" took me a min to figure that out since in my mind, John was gone..

You know I have noticed the complaining about Julie Brown in here tonight, but the celeb that really showed her behind was Alana (who y'all seem to love) when she said that the only reason Melissa was still in it was cuz her mother bought a phone bank. Not a one person said anything about that.

Ladytex....I have not read this thread but I have always thought Alana was repugnant in many ways. That comment was tacky and she only showed herself in a poor light with that one. I did not like the woman one bit. Loved Johns comments.

I liked Julie. A lot.

And J-lo made a big mistake breaking up with this beautiful man. wow.

ROFL! Ladytex, I was just coming in here to post about that comment! I couldn't believe it. Even my husband who hasn't watched any of the show, was stunned by that comment!
Did you notice how there were hardly any clips of Maria? She never seemed to show up when she was there, and was hardly remembered.
I also notice that no one seems to be there for Chris..familywise. They showed Melissa's mom, but nothing for Chris. I thought I heard him at the end say "hi, mom/dad" but you didn't seem them.
I really liked the host. I thought he geniunely seemed to be rooting for the celebs in the trials..the way he hugged Alana after she faced the possum was so sweet! It is very hard to be live and having producers hollering in your ear, I thought he did a good job.

Actually, Ladytex, I think there were plenty of complaints about Alana while she was there. After she left, the complaining stopped. Then some people started complaining about Julie and even more so after she was voted off. I think most people are equal opportunity complainers...but that's just my opinion. What's a phone bank?

Ladytex.. at least half or more of us haven't even seen the show YET.. so how could we comment on Alana's actions tonight? Last night Julie dissed all of them except John.. So.. to be seen what I think of Alana. Still doesn't make me like Julie though..

I'm happy with the outcome. My two favorites made it to the end. I'm surprised that Melissa didn't share anything about her recent divorce. The two recovering from broken hearts made it to the end. Cris is a great guy and it's really touching that he still seems to love J.Lo.

Ladytex: I'm not sure if I took your post in the right way. This show is so "lite", I can't imagine it causing any complaining about what one person says about another person. You seemed angry over some people's opinion about Julie. I had my opinions, but really didn't express them much. Not that it mattered either way. What's the big deal?

Seamonkey

Wednesday, March 05, 2003 - 08:40 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Oh, but I'm guessing that Alana has heard almost every one of them dissing her since she's been gone, so that's not likely to elicit warm fuzzy comments from her :) I'm not a fan of nasty post-show comments from ANY of them.

I've consistantly complained about Julie, but I also gave her her due for how she handled her three trials in a row..

And I thought Alana was amazing in her trial.

I thought Alana's comment was only a joke, everyone at my house felt the same way. But, we all wondered why Maria didn't get more face time and then when we did see her her nose was still twitching. I bet she will be happy to get back home and get that allergy cleared up.

Texannie

Wednesday, March 05, 2003 - 08:44 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Wcv63...I had wondered that too. I was really surprised she didn't open up, but also wonder if it was editing. Remember, how Chris had said his comments about Jennifer came after John had just finished telling how he met his wife, and we never heard that story.

Willsfan, I think she tried to make it a joke, but it came across to me a little bitter! LOL

No, I wasn't complaining about y'all's opinion of Julie. She wasn't very nice, but I was very surprised not to see anyone talking about Alana's very nasty comment. It stood out like a beacon among all the other people's nice comments. If she didn't have anything nice to say, she shouldn't have said anything at that point.

And the meek shall inherit the earth. What a great night for reality television. First Ryan, then Zora and now Cris. How wonderful that nice, honest honorable people are finally winning. No lying, backstabbing winners. (bb & survivor)

That was a good ending.. Cris seems like a nice guy. I'm sure he has his ups and downs too, but he was good in the game.
I had never seen John before, so in the game, I really liked him, PLUS he was playing for spinal cords and that research may help people like me someday, so Woo-hoo for them!
I also liked Melissa and am glad she came in second. This was a pretty decent show all in all, but a little LONG at points.

I am so glad that Cris won and now is the king of the jungle!! He deserves it! I was touched to hear him about his experience with JLO and etc.

I really enjoyed this show cuz it reminded me so much of Big Brother! LOL!!! Except a little difference is that they did play the game for their charity plus they are famous.

Congrats, Cris! Enjoy his great moment!!

I was really happy with the way the last three went. Melissa winning would have been fine, but my heart and my head wanted Cris to be King of the Jungle and so he is..

I waited to see Alana's comment and I think it was totally deadpan. And I wouldn't be surprised if Joan had joked about a phone bank for Melissa.

And did they have Maria say anything?? If so, I missed it.. how very strange that is.

Anyway, I'm happy for Cris, Melissa and Make-a-Wish.

The unbelievable thing I read is that Michael Jackson wants to do this show..

Yes, Alana's comment did stand out like a beacon to me. I was surprised she couldn't think of one positive reason why Melissa was still in the game, but could only joke about her mother buying her way to the finals.

All I got from Julie's exit interview was that she really hated the experience of being out in the jungle. Her comments yesterday were flattering of John, Chris, and Melissa. She was diplomatic about Bruce, saying that he's a different type of person who's always "on". Someone posted yesterday that Julie was being snarky with these comments and by saying Melissa will be happy she achieved her goal of being the last woman there, but I had taken it to mean "Good for her." Then tonight we learned that Melissa really had stated that being the last woman was one of her goals, and that she was in fact happy she achieved it.

I'm tellin' ya, there's a reason so many of them said they loved Julie and missed her when she left. She befriended Nikki, she appeared to be the only one really listening to Robin's "cannot, cannot, cannot" lecture, and I noticed tonight that during her private interview regarding the peeing incident she had still only used the term "someone" rather than naming Alana as the culprit.

Anyway, I'm glad Chris won this because he looked like he needed something good to happen in his life. I wish the producers hadn't used him so shamelessly to exploit the J-Lo angle. I felt so bad when he hung his head down as they showed him the clip of them discussing her.

Thanks so much for all the spoilers. My VCR died last night and I had something else recording on TIVO. My husband who normally won't watch any reality shows got hooked on this one and was having a fit when it didn't record so he appreciates your posts as well. We are both happy Cris won he seems like such a great guy.

I wonder if Cris got into the project because of Tyson. In his interview Cris was talking about getting into the game to support Tyson and when Tyson got voted out he took his jacket to remind him that he was thinking of him. Which I thought was really a nice thing. I wonder if Tyson was signed in for it and convinced the producers that Criss would be a good addition...

I am very glad Cris won...cause I think he is the one who did the most with the least amount of conflict...his bushtucker trials ...he never complained...(Okay on the last one they SHOULD of had some sort of lid...cause yeah and upset eel is going to run....and they should have counted the eel in as soon as it hit the box...not at the end)....he did chores it seem...he was supportive...and understanding...and seemed to carry everything off with class...the worst thing anyone could say about him was he was quiet...


I thought the orginal premis of this show was hokey...I thought that it wasnt going to be something I could get into...in the end it was one fo the best shows..maybe because they did make it HARD...the location was horrible at least in the fact that it rained all the time...eveything was wet...but over all they challenged the celebs...which made it truly enjoyable...

Yes, it was enjoyable. I'm so glad Cris won and I hope something good comes out of it for him. Does anyone know his background? He has a very interesting look but I can't put my finger on where he or his parents are from. Anyone know?

I've wondered the same thing. Cris has a great face and it's very enigmatic.

Sometimes he looks asian, sometimes he looks hispanic, other times he looks african american, or native american, or pacific islander, or just plain old white.

It'd a great face for an actor because he could blend into so many different roles convincingly.

Yeah Chris, Clay, Ryan, Zora! Good vibes can succeed! Now I just hope that Clay comes forward and wins AI. Hoping...

And, overall, the show just said to me people are people.

chris is from florida, fittingly enuf from a town called Niceville! his parents own a chinese food restaurant with takeout and 2 tables called Eggrolls R Us! I think that I heard that he is Philipino but I am not sure at all of that.. His dad was in the military so they moved, and I think he lived in the phillipines but i dont remember for sure about that. His prom girlfriend from Niceville said that he was very Nice...His dad is Larry and I forget his mom's name, i think her nickname is something like Yolly..
