LOL, Grooch! I haven't seen every episode, but I think most of them.. but it seems like every time they are threatening to send someone home, but they never do it. Also in this episode it sounded like.. well Heidi was green last time, let's shake her up with a yellow rating, etc. Just seemed to have no actual rating system , or if they do, it is well hidden..

They were totally making this program up as they went! There was no structure to it. I'd be really pissed off, and rightly so, if I got kicked off after so many weeks of passing Jenna up!!! It will be unfair if they let Vivian go first.

Could you imagine doing something like American Idol this way? Each week they would just decide whether or not they want to eliminate someone. I could just hear Simon saying "we decided that since everyone played nice last week and worked so hard, we won't make anyone go this week."

I feel sorry for Bonnie, the second castaway, who had such a great attitude and was a good surfer, but they said, "Oh well, we HAVE to kick someone off, no choice whatsoever. . . gotta play BY THE RULES, Ya'know!!"

I guess she didn't have the right 'look' for the show, whereas katie was kept on for dear life two epps too long.

Is this the seventh episode?

How many episodes does MTV usually give a weekly reality show? I hope they don't bum rush the elims the last show

Well Grooch, it sure looked like whining to me when she was talking about how she didn't realize so much of the judging had to do with attitude, or she might've worked on hers more, and afterward when she was telling the judge how she's not normally like this... Are you a Jenna fan? I just happen to find most of the girls annoying, haven't really found one I truly like. Not to mention, none of them seem to be really great surfers (unlike my girl Holly in Boarding House: North Shore).

I am telling you, it's the editing! I bet they spliced the tape to make it sound like that was what she was saying, when in actuality she was just asking where the bathroom is because she has an eyelash in her eye, making her tear up.

Plus, the poor girl has Kula threatening to shave her head when she's asleep. Who could put up with this type of pressure and threats and not be affected by it? The other girls, are really, really mean to her.

UPDATE: Someone earlier asked how long this series was, I think. Its going to be 13 weeks. They're running out of time for eliminating people!

Thanks, Puttergirl!!

Is Vivian your sleeper pick? I was worried about her with the white chalky chapstick last episode -- it was consuming her entire pucker. It freaked me out!!

Wow, that's spooky, Kuke. How did you know that? I had been thinking that for a long time, but I don't think I ever said it here! I think I'm wrong though. They seem to be going out of their way to keep Jenna.

I think you mentioned an affinity for Vivian prior, puttergirl; I'm sorry if I spooked ya

I found this website that I thinks helps me describe my frustration with this show, and maybe, too, with what the young Jenna may be going through.

P.S>
I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a poll about surf girls? I think this show is RIPE for the contest-poll genre, becuase it has proven itself to be unpredictable, full of random fixtures and such... and with the big 'surf-off' in store, well, that question just writes itself!!

When is the last time they even kicked someone off this show???!!??!!

It goes on and on and on and on. Kinda' like Real World Las Vegas. They have to be up to like Episode 10 by now.

Kuke, I wouldn't know how to even begin a POLL?? There has to be some structure to a program to do one and this program HAS NO STRUCTURE!!! Its like a bad acid trip! Maybe next week they'll just draw cards for who goes home.

Someone actually left the show - but no one was booted. How many shows back was the last boot? 3, 4?

Being on this show seems like bad luck. Two girls out of 14 have lost someone very important to them. One father, one grandmother. I know these things happen, but this seems like alot to me. Very sorry for both girls loss. I hope this is the last we see of 'In Loving Memory of...' at the end of the show!

How surprising. Nobody was eliminated again!!! And now they are in their last week of competition!!! The final competition will be only 5 people, so they will have one leave next week from the surf off (or so they say) and then just eliminate a bunch at once.

This show has such potential!!!! If they redo it, Danielle needs to go (I liked her but she can't stick to a plan for shi+!!!) and put in someone a bit tougher!!

Hmmm, that is a good one, who would be good to replace Danielle? How about Nicole from BB2? Somehow I think the girls would find it less dangerous to surf on a reef with 20 foot waves than to be in the boat with her! It would be a great contrast - all those blonde healthy girls with the tatooed smoker Nicole!

Could you believe how April stormed off after she lost like that? What a bad loser!!!!!

Laura11103

April thinks she's the best surfer ever and can do no wrong. I tended this whole season to believe the other girls who said April gives no one else a chance out there, that she goes for every wave. She's kind of like a ball hog in basketball, I know she says she's doing what she needs to do and the others are the competetive ones, I just don't buy it and you're right, the way she stormed off just showed how much she cares about her surfmates, zero.

I thought it was kinda sad when all the rest of the surfers had someone visit them, but Mary didn't have anyone, and she said, 'Actually, I want it that way. Usually people take up so much of your time... I'm glad no one came'.

I feel ya, Mary.
