Demeter | Thursday, February 27, 2003 - 07:46 pm     Is no one here tonight? The spoiler is... Alana is out. |
Willsfan | Thursday, February 27, 2003 - 08:10 pm     Why should I be surprised, the oldest man and woman was kicked out first. How very typical. |
Muse | Thursday, February 27, 2003 - 08:41 pm     I'm disappointed. Alana wasn't one of my favorite people, but there's a lot of others that I would've liked to have seen go first. Especially Julie, just because of the conflict between them. I thought it was nice that Alana got the chance to see Bruce and Cris (and Tyson? I don't remember) say some positive things about her in their confessionals. She's going to have to deal with a lot of not-so-nice things when she watches the episodes. I wasn't too keen on how they showed Robin both say very negative things (in his post-boot interview) and somewhat positive things (in a confessional) about her in one episode. Seems like he's being a little less nice and diplomatic now that he's voted off. I thought Bruce had a great attitude about the trial, and did quite well. He could have really hurt himself on those rocks, too. And hey - Tyson smiled a few times in the episode! It's not enough for me to even think about voting for him, though. I am still totally smitten with Cris. He's just so sweet. I hope he doesn't get voted off for being too quiet. It's kind of hypocritical how Melissa admonished Alana for not being sad when Robin left (which I think is silly - not that people should be happy, but Melissa was acting like he died...and it's not even like Survivor, where they often don't see fellow contestants for long periods of time due to the voting timeline), but then everyone seemed giddy and happy when Alana left. Yeah, it's sort of annoying when Alana made everything all about her, but the other contestants should have gotten used to that by now. And they should have been decent enough actors to avoid smiling until she left, for pete's sake. Order I'd like to see them go in: Melissa Julie/Tyson (either order) Bruce/Nikki Maria Stuttering John Cris (winnter) I think John will win, though. He probably has a lot of support from Stern fans, even if Howard's not really promoting the show. |
Monkeyboy | Thursday, February 27, 2003 - 09:01 pm     I was upset that she left! I almost crapped my pants when the host told Tyson he could stay . I was screaming "NIKKI NIKKI NIKKI NIKKI!!!!!" When it was between Nikki and Alana. What a big disapointment! My NEW list: 1.Nikki 2.Tyson 3.Melissa 4.Bruce 5.Maria 6.Cris 7.John/Julie (either can win and id be ok with it) |
Curlyq | Thursday, February 27, 2003 - 09:55 pm     I really thought people would keep Alana around if only for the entertainment value. I wonder what did it. Aside from crying to Tyson when he got all obnoxious with her, I don't remember her doing anything on last night's show that would leave a negative impression with viewers. Maybe it was because she sometimes said she wanted to leave. It should've been Tyson. Oh, well. When he says millions of people voted I wonder if he really means millions of votes were cast, since some of us are voting multiple times. I was under the impression that there weren't that many people watching. Before they went to that last scene claiming that this was the group's reaction to Alana leaving, they had already done another live shot of the group immediately after her departure. In that shot the group looked a lot more serious and it sounded like Julie was saying something about the bushtucker trials (perhaps remembering Alana's trial). Maybe they were intentionally trying to make it look like the group was celebrating her departure with that later shot where they were teasing Nikki.

Seamonkey | Thursday, February 27, 2003 - 10:23 pm     Just now when they showed each celeb saying why they should stay, I would swear that it listed Maria's charity as Global Relief Fund.... didn't see humane society mentioned. I'll see if the site has the info. |
Seamonkey | Thursday, February 27, 2003 - 10:26 pm     Ah.. ryn reported a change for her and she has three charities, to include the HSUS Maria Conchita Alonso: US Humane Society, Global Medical Relief Fund and Venezuela Without Boundaries Foundation |
Wcv63 | Thursday, February 27, 2003 - 10:40 pm     Alana was disappointed when Robin was voted off and said more than once that she was ready to go. She felt she had proven herself and was ready to get out of the rainforest. She was happy to be going tonight and even thanked America for listening to her pleas. I think the difference in attitudes between the two departures is one wasn't ready to go and didn't expect to go, whereas the other had done what she wanted to do and was ready to go home. I like the women that are left in camp...some more than others but have no active ill will towards any of them. I do however have some ill will towards two of the men left in the camp. |
Fruitbat | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 04:01 am     I saw Alana as a character in a Woody Allen movie. She got on my nerves and I am glad to see her gone. She whinned and her insecurity was grating. She prefaced most things with...... "What do you want me to do, I don't want to make a mistake" or something along those lines. She appeared to be helpless in the face of a simple chore, like cooking beans. Of course the water turns black when you cook black beans. |
Texannie | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 05:55 am     The host keeps saying to the evictees "and you earned some money for your charity"..how do they earn it if they don't win? Are they given money for lasting x amount of time? |
Grooch | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 07:11 am     I am glad Alana left. She was getting on my last frickin nerve with her constant whining that she is doing the best that she can. She was like a leech looking for approval, constantly. I think she must be a very nice person in real life, when she has her every want and need tended to. But out there, she is annoying. I thought Tyson was acting like a jerk with his, I'm not going to be nice to Nikki anymore because now it's crunch time and the real players should be the ones to stay. What the F is that? This is not Survivor where they get to vote each other out. It would behoove him to be nice to Nikki to get the audience's votes. Nobody is going to vote for a person acting like a dick head. (at least I hope they wouldn't) Interesting comment by Robin about Maria. That there was a lot of unneccessary backstabing by her. Once again, what is there to backstab about? I respect Robin in that I believe he says it as he sees it. He has no reason to lie, so she went down in my book, a lot. The reason why Melissa got annoyed with Alana when Ronin left is because they were sad to see him go (plus he was the 1st person to go. Reality is setting in. And all Alana could do was make it about herself. She is very self absorbed. "I know you guys wish it was ME" "I wish it was ME leaving" "I'm sorry that I am a pain" ME! ME! ME! ME! ME! It's all about ME! She would annoy me also with that mentality. |
Mydogbuffy | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 08:36 am     Hooray I am glad Alana is GONE I laugh everything I look at what Celebrity has to deal with and what the Survivor people have to deal with. They are such babies. But I have to give them they are trying for the sake of their charities and not themselves. |
Mizinvanccouver | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 08:41 am     I'm not glad Alana is gone. I wanted Julie gone before her. I didn't like the way Julie looked so happy she was gone. So what if Alana is a bit insecure and indecisive, doesn't make her a bad person and she didn't mean any harm. Julie on the other had has said things to be mean and hurtful. Although will say she's been on much better behaviour since the her challenges. |
Sawheel17 | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 09:07 am     I'm glad Alana is gone. I always liked her, especially when she and George Hailton had their talk show. But she got on my nerves is a big way. Julie has acted better since she had to do the challenges. I think she realized America was watching and hated her tough girl attitude. By the way Grooch, I voted on-line last night. |
Rissa | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 09:14 am     I thought Melissa was ticked because Alana was walking around saying that she understood that everyone was sad that Robin had gone because they had really wanted HER to go and then everyone had to stop and reassure her YET AGAIN. Melissa thought it was childish to pull attention onto herself (Alana) when the group just wanted 5 minutes to deal with Robin's departure. She did the same thing later on with John... telling him that she felt guilty that yesterday had been a bad day and *wondered* if it was because SHE had been leader, but John blew her off instead of trying to make her feel better. Melissa thought that was amusing. Do we have a thread for end-game guesses? I think it will be Chris, Melissa and Julie at the end. I like Bruce, Maria (interesting back-stabbing comment by Robin.. I agree Grooch), John but I don't know if they have inspired enough public interest to get the phone calls. Mizinva, remember the editting when judging Julie. Robin made that comment about Maria yet we haven't seen ANYTHING close to what he implied. I think Alana would drive anyone totally insane and Julie had two days where she could NOT get Alana to shut the h*ll up no matter what she said. Alana kept following her around trying to talk it out and Julie was going balistic. She finally took it up a notch (with the threat)and then seemed immediately to just calm right down. That's the way I saw it anyway... she seemed to realize that Alana was pushing all her buttons and decided to walk away. Also notice that although Julie took herself out of the situation that Alana kept up the ranting (in other words, one of them learned a lesson) plus the two of them had been together 2-3 days longer then the rest because they had come from the USA together before the show. I think it's that change in her reactions plus (like you said) her behavior in and since the challenges that will put Julie in the last three standing. |
Mizinvanccouver | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 09:48 am     Rissa--I agree the editing can portray them in a different light. As far as what was shown though I think there is no condoning Julie's threats and waving her finger in Alana's face not matter how annoying someone is. Why didn't she just talk it out with Alana? Then she wouldn't be following her around trying to clear the air. She wasn't trying to provoke Julie in my opinion. In times when we are at war in the world, this is a good example of what people consider as being acceptable. So because she was "annoyed" that makes it ok for her to threaten her and point her finger in her face in a disrespectful manner?? I disagree, I think talking it out would have been the better route. You're entitled to your view as I am mine. :-) |
Prisonerno6 | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 10:03 am     I find Alana to be a very passive-aggressive personality, getting her way by not doing things rather than by doing them. I find that a lot more annoying and harder to deal with than someone who is a lot more forthright in their emotions. As for the finger-pointing, I could have sworn I heard Alana make a threat to Julie before Julie did to her. At the end she said she wanted to punch her -- but, of course, she never would. :-) Then again, in her exit interview, she seemed to think it was all everyone else's fault, that if they were just willing to talk things out, the whole thing could turn into a love fest, since, after all, she gets along with everyone (*cough* watch the tapes, Alana *cough*). |
Prisonerno6 | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 10:05 am     By the way, I would like to announce to any and all that I feel sorry for Jennifer Lopez. She let that sweetie get away. I'd say something else, but it would just be <mod>. :-) |
Prisonerno6 | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 10:07 am     One more thing...when Julie did try to "talk it out," it seemed like Alana kept interrupting her (at least in what we saw). Talking it out is not the same as "Listen to what I have to say and then admit you'e wrong." That seems to be Alana's definition of talking it out. Even if you do, sometimes you just have to agree to disagree and move on. Constant harping does not make one any more likable. |
Mizinvanccouver | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 10:20 am     Prisonerno6--How can you say say that's what Alana expect "Talking it out is not the same as listening to what I have to say and then admit your're wrong."?? You don't know what 'talking it out' would have been because Julie wouldn't even give it a shot to talk it out. As for her threatening Julie first, I didn't see that but that's not to say it didn't happen. Again, just my opinion. |
Grooch | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 10:27 am     Does anyone remember the scene around the campfire and finally Cris spoke up and bitched about something. And everyone was shocked. They said Cris never speaks up about anything because he was so laid back. What was he upset about again? And who was it directed at? |
Rissa | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 10:30 am     Mizinvan, I agree with you about it not being acceptable.... that's why I was saying that as soon as Julie made that threat she just totally backed off and permanently. It seemed to me that she realized that it was escalating to someplace she didn't want to go. Alana on the other hand never seemed to deal with her part in it at all. What I REALLY want to know though is whether or not they will get together to "talk it out" later on and whether or not it will be televised. Isn't it funny how we all see the same thing but absorb it according to our own personalities? LOLOL I know people like Alana (Prisoner: I agree with you about her being passive-aggressive) and I can easily see myself loosing it completely having to deal with her. I am a pretty patient person but her type just pushes all my buttons. I will be honest enough to admit that that is probably effecting the way I am interpreting the two women's interaction. LOL |
Sherbabe | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 10:40 am     My vote is for Cris all the way. It's underdogs week. Ryan.......Zora.........Cris. I hope. Melissa and Julie hugged each other and were smiling like crazy when Alana was announced. What a bunch of two - faced celebrities. Julie never even approached Alana to say goodbye. Good riddens to Julie and Melissa. |
Mizinvanccouver | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 10:50 am     Rissa--Yes as I mentioned in an earlier post I did notice Julie not making so much of an issue. I agree she did let it go after the threat. I agree she probably realized to what extent their situation had escalated to. Just a note about my interpretation; I always go with the 'underdog' because I am the youngest and usually the underdog to all my elder sisters. So my view could be clouded because of this as well. Not everyone is as confident as you (And Julie) are but that doesn't mean one should be nasty to those who lack the confidence you have. Having someone freak out on you doesn't make a person who isn't as confident feel any more confident, if anything it makes it escalate and makes them doubt themselves more. So heres the deal, the people who are not confident and assertive should work on that and those who are should work on their patience. lol TRUCE! *smile and wink* |
Laura11103 | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 10:53 am     Grooch, ITA with what you said in your first post. I think Alana is not a bad person but she inadvertantly is the most annoying woman to hit the amazon, I'm so glad she's gone. I think Julie is in love with John. I'm liking Julie a lot now, I also finally realized what I find attractive about her, it's her smile. When she's smiling, she lights up, but when she's not smiling, yikes! |
