Tina: Hypocrite or Skeletal Darling?

Ocean_Islands | Thursday, April 26, 2001 - 09:21 pm  Tina voted for Elisabeth, then hugged her. Is she a hypocrite? |
Misslibra | Thursday, April 26, 2001 - 09:34 pm  No she wants to win, like they always say it's nothing personal, I just want the money. |
Tess | Thursday, April 26, 2001 - 09:58 pm  No, they are all playing to win which is what they are there for. She had to vote for someone, they all did. Elisabeth didn't always like the choices she had to make either. She also knew, as they all did, that if Elisabeth had made it to the final 2 that she would likely win. It may not have been the most popular vote to the viewers (myself included) but it was the most intelligent since she couldn't vote for Colby. |
Azriel | Thursday, April 26, 2001 - 10:05 pm  I don't believe you have to play like that to win and I don't understand why so many people believe that is the only way to win. |
Tess | Thursday, April 26, 2001 - 10:27 pm  It bothers me that Tina voted for people in the beginning who thougth they were allied with her but Elisabeth-- I don't think--ever held that thought. Tina said at the very beginning, I think it was even on the first show, that she would do anything to win the game. I think tonight she couldn't win no matter how she voted. Should she break her alliance with Keith? She couldn't vote for Colby. And Colby said tonight his only real alliance is with Tina so those two have been probably talking. If I were playing I would have played much more like Elisabeth and Rodger (my two favorites) but I'd be sitting on the jury, not still in the running. |
Lancecrossfire | Thursday, April 26, 2001 - 10:34 pm  I saw that as no different than shaking someone's hand after kicking their butts on the football filed, or basketball court. You are all there to win. It's like driving the lane toward the opposing start center because you know they have 4 fouls, and one more puts them out of the game. or not running at a great linebacker because he's likely to make a better play. |
Seamonkey | Thursday, April 26, 2001 - 11:42 pm  I agree.. what else was Tina going to do? If she voted against Keith, he'd have been gone either with 3 vote or in a tie, which he would lose. People would say she was disloyal AND she'd be up against two strong people, one physically, one popular. After all her effort why would she do that? I was surprised to hear Colby mention being loyal to Tina.. first I heard of that one! |
Ocean_Islands | Friday, April 27, 2001 - 03:38 am  It's amazing what editing will do, isn't it? It's clear now that it will be between Colby and Keith, unless something unforeseen happens. In that case, Colby has more marks against him, since he was so two-faced. |
Azriel | Friday, April 27, 2001 - 05:21 am  IF Tina had acted like Elisabeth and Rodger from the beginning she would still be in the same position she is in now. Tina is not still left because she has played the game well. She is left only because of pure luck from being put on the right team and because she was least irritating of the remaining Ogakor players. You cannot convince me that had she not stabbed Marylyn in the back or voted Rodger and Elisabeth off that she would not still be there. You can compete and not be ugly and still win. I think it's sad that good people think it's okay to be totally emotionless and cutthroat in a competition. If Tina had not stabbed Marylyn in the back she would look a lot better in the eyes of the jury, too. I think that is going to come back to haunt her if she is up against Colby in the final vote. The ONLY reason she will win against Keith is because she was nicer than him to people. If Colby had not voted Elisabeth off and it had come down between him and her in the final vote I think Colby still would have won. Colby is not disliked by the people on the jury and I think that most of the people there would have voted for him because he has played the challenges better and proved he was a better survivor than Elisabeth. |
Ocean_Islands | Friday, April 27, 2001 - 05:45 am  There's no proof that any of them know that Tina stabbed Marilyn in the back. And Marilyn is not on the jury. |
Wilsonatmd | Friday, April 27, 2001 - 06:02 am  Some people still resent the fact that Tina led the charge in going through Kel's backpack in the infamous beef jerky incident. I think Tina had some lucky breaks, but let's face it, you have to be doing something right to go this long without a single vote against you. |
Judy | Friday, April 27, 2001 - 06:46 am  Exactly Wils! She has played well. I think - and I always try to remember that we are only seeing a small fraction of the interaction between these people. Not to mention It's a game! I can't understand how if you vote against someone that you've been friendly with it is stabbing them in the back??!! Personally I think Colby is where he is because of his winning immunity challanges, Keith is there because he has stuck to his alliance- ALWAYS voting just how Tina says... But Tina has kept that alliance together, formed good relationships with her teamates -played hard - worked hard- stayed upbeat- and is in the final 3 without ever having won and immunity challange and without one single vote against her. That's what I call "Outwit,Outlast, Outplay"! |
Twiggyish | Friday, April 27, 2001 - 09:25 am  YEAH JUDY! I agree. |
Sbw | Monday, April 30, 2001 - 07:54 am  I think Tina is the one by giving Keith immunity in the pole standing is the one that really has decided how the show has played out. We would be seeing Roger, Elisabeth and ??? as the final three if they had been in the majority. I am not really sure she saw the complete impact her decision would make on the game at the time. Tina would not have wanted Rodger or Elisabeth to have a chance to get to the final two, because she should know there is no way she could win against them. Now if she is able to win the IC will she choose Keith or Colby? (She should know Colby will be harder to beat in the final two.) I think Tina has done the only things that will allow her to possibly win. Of course we may all find in out that she did not realize the magnitude of those decisions. The biggest thing Tina did which disappointed me was in going through Kel's backpack. That was terrible. She has probably outplayed all of them and for the most part she hasn't done it behind their back but explained to them the way it had to be. Maybe that had to do with the way she felt after voting off Marilyn. |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, May 02, 2001 - 12:07 am  Ocean, I agree. I don't think Tina stabbed Maralyn in the back. She made an agreement with others the day she arrived and her friendship with Maralyn grew over the next several days. She said that it wasn't personal and she was honoring an ageement she had previously made. That is integrity. Was she not supposed to talk to Maralyn or be friendly or kind? All these people have and will vote for another that they truely like at some point. How could it possibly work any other way? They know this going in. The three remaining players are there because they were on the majority team going in. Had things been different we would be discussing who was playing well amoung the last 3 Kuchas. They are the best of Ogakor, that is all. |
