Archive through April 19, 2001
Silverager | Thursday, April 19, 2001 - 05:51 pm  A gentleman to the end... even though Colby has always been my pick, I had to admire Rodger for his strength and kindness... Colby noted how much he added in terms of chores for the group... when he gave himself up in favor of Elizabeth tonight... well that was a defining moment. A million dollars or kindness, and he chose kindness. I hope this guy gets commercial and film offers aplenty, he more than deserves it. What a fine example he set for us all. Other Highlights... I loved the internet chats... at this point there is nobody I strongly dislike so it was nice to see them all get a taste of home... Kieth's proposal was touching (I disagree with Colby that it was tactical) and his girlfriend/fiancee is quite a looker! Loved Colby's reaction to "Baby"... it showed how one word can make all the difference whan you know the person who is saying it... Also I was glad to see that even though Rodger went as widely reported, the RC and IC did not exactly fit any spoiler I had read, that gives me hope that the next 2 episodes are wide open... So what did the rest of you fine folks think? |
Highlander | Thursday, April 19, 2001 - 05:53 pm  It was a great show and I hated to see Rodger go. What a class act, kind of reminds me of another rodger. |
Flint | Thursday, April 19, 2001 - 06:02 pm  Gotta agree with you silverager. Rodger was a true gentleman. Nice to see there are still people out there who think of others, and who aren;t afraid to make an honourable gesture. |
Wilsonatmd | Thursday, April 19, 2001 - 06:02 pm  Although I hate to admit it, Colby probably voted the best way he could. If he had voted for Keith, his best chance to win the final vote would have been gone. (I think Colby beats Keith, Loses to Liz, And with Tina it's too close to call.) He's probably not going to get that far (he's got to win out), but he voted strategically, and that's part of the game. Rodger knew his or Liz's number was up, so he basically talked Liz into getting rid of him, when they could have easily gone with Liz as the bigger IC threat. For that I commend him. |
Tksoard | Thursday, April 19, 2001 - 06:06 pm  I loved the show tonight. It was a tear jerker!!I felt bad for Keith when he lost a lock. He was SO close!! I thought he was going to need it, but Colby was all talk. Also, What Was That Thing ON Colbys Head?!?!?! And people were ranting about Jerri's hat. HA!! |
Willi | Thursday, April 19, 2001 - 06:08 pm  The only good moment on the show was Keith losing the lock...It gave me hope for a few minutes. Hope Springs Eternal (my cliche for the day) |
Misslibra | Thursday, April 19, 2001 - 06:09 pm  I have always thought Roger was a great guy. I'm going to miss him. I also thought Keith's proposal was sincere. GO KEITH !  |
Willi | Thursday, April 19, 2001 - 06:10 pm  Rodger is the kind of person that makes you remember that there is still good in the World. What a nice surprise from a Survivor contestant.
You did good Rodger!!! |
Highlander | Thursday, April 19, 2001 - 06:13 pm  Yep Rodger did great. If elizabeth wins she should split it with him. |
Misslibra | Thursday, April 19, 2001 - 06:15 pm  Willi, LOL Now that was mean, you meanie you ! You should of listen to me from the start Willi, I told you all along that you should be rooting for Keith. But did you listen... NOOOOO ! LOL GO KEITH ! |
Silverager | Thursday, April 19, 2001 - 06:16 pm  Considering the fact that Rudy the homophobe got so many endorsements and accolades, I would hope that Rodger is inundated with offers... |
Misslibra | Thursday, April 19, 2001 - 06:19 pm  Willi, say it with me. GO KEITH !  |
Willi | Thursday, April 19, 2001 - 06:24 pm  Ok...Here it comes......... Go Home Keith! Elisabeth for the win! That didn't hurt a bit.
|
Misslibra | Thursday, April 19, 2001 - 06:30 pm  Willi, LOL I hope Elizabeth is in the final three to, right along with Keith and Tina. GO KEITH ! |
Zeb | Thursday, April 19, 2001 - 06:49 pm  I didn't want Rodger to go tonight and when they turned over the fifth vote, I was hoping it would say Keith. I have to say that I have been very privileged during the course of my life to have experienced a similar friendship like what has developed between Rodger and Elisabeth. Only, our time was unexpectedly cut short due to his terminal illness. I considered him a friend, mentor, and a second dad. I bet if Elisabeth was asked, she would admit to have never felt that immediately close to anyone outside her own family. A relationship like that is very special and one that I can see will continue way after Survivor II is over. I was hoping they would both remain as they have worked very hard and seemed very deserving. |
Misslibra | Thursday, April 19, 2001 - 07:00 pm  Zeb, before they turn over the final vote showing it to be Roger, I was one nervous Keith fan. I would of never heard the last of it from Moon, not to mention Willi, and Fruitbat. Whew !! That was a close one. GO KEITH !  |
Kady | Thursday, April 19, 2001 - 07:04 pm  The way Elisabeth called him her Outback Daddy was so sweet. They are both classy people. |
Wink | Thursday, April 19, 2001 - 08:09 pm  Kentucky Joe was a class act to the end. Really sorry to see him go. Rodger. |
Moondance | Thursday, April 19, 2001 - 08:59 pm  That show SUCKED ... sorry... I am not happy! Ditto Willi... the only great moment was when Keith lost his lock and there was hope when Jeff was turning over that last vote to be Keith... Colby lost my support ... if he went with Elisabeth and Rodger to vote Keith off it would have better his standings with a clearer conscience ... what a load of selfish crap not voting for Keith.... It's not even worth watching anymore ... what they may get a nice kindling to burn and their fire TV might just burn a different way... whoohoo the excitement overwhelms me to think about it! Yeah you Keith lovers might get your way, it seems the most unnice, icky person always win! Venting!!!!!!! Counting to 10 now... Rodger come back!!!!!!!!!! |
Lancecrossfire | Thursday, April 19, 2001 - 09:11 pm  Highlander, thanks for the nice thoughts--I don't if you thought that way about me during game I. Nice of you to see me as anything like Roger. He is quite the person. I provide a Go Keith!! as part of the game we are playing here (and I do want him to win). No matter who finishes in what order from here on out, Roger will never be forgotten. |
Seamonkey | Thursday, April 19, 2001 - 09:13 pm  A toast to Rodger!! But he didn't tell Elisabeth what he told Tina. And he and Elisabeth of course voted as a bloc with some hope that Colby would join them. I LOVED the internet challenge.. for once something feel good for all of them!! Cool things, IMO.. Colby himself called himself "The Colbster" I liked that. And Elisabeth is Bessy to her family, that is sweet. Keith and his gf being Peas and Carrots is a hoot, I saw such a soft side in Keith (and ALL of them) tonight. I agree with Silver that asking her to marry him wasn't a staged thing .. shame on Colby .. I defended his bringing back the coral as a nice thing, not a strategy .. and now I wonder. I liked Tina winning.. but suspect I'd have been thrilled for any of them winning, really. I was just glowing after that first segment. Was depressed after the second with Colby going off on Keith and all. I hated that Keith didn't win by dropping the lock but, as he said.. it was fair.. but hated that Colby won AGAIN. Rodger reminded me of Rudy in this challenge.. remember they had one where they had to listen to a story and then stumble around and answer questions.. and he just blanked like Rodger did tonight. I hope Rodger started off with something digestible but I'm sure he enjoyed food, and a shower and sleeping in a warm bed. He's a good one. Oh and the Danish with the cyber cafe was a NICE touch As for endorsements and offers.. Rodger will be FLOODED!! Oh and I liked them having a group prayer. Despite some spats, which Colby admits are boredom driven, thislast group is tighter than the SI last group. ONWARD and UPWARD, Keith! |
Egbok77 | Thursday, April 19, 2001 - 09:44 pm  I was sorry to see Rodger go too. I just know I'll be seeing a lot of him in the near future. He's a real gem and an outstanding man and as they say, what goes around, comes around!! Rodger = Kentucky Joe and Outback Daddy ~ cool nicknames!! |
Moondance | Thursday, April 19, 2001 - 09:50 pm  I do think we haven't seen the last of him, thank goodness |
Wilsonatmd | Thursday, April 19, 2001 - 10:05 pm  I know that they are going to do a "Hollywood Squares" Survivor 2 week. You think there's a chance they might invite Rodger? His style of humor would be perfect for that show. If not, who do you want on, and who do you think will actually be on? (They had four people from S1 on, so let's assume four) Who I'd want: Rodger Liz Amber Mike Who they'll probably get: Jerri Kimmi Keith Tina |
Moondance | Thursday, April 19, 2001 - 10:13 pm  I would want Rodger (I agree, he would be great!) Elisabeth Amber Jerri Alicia |
