Have we pushed the boundaries of being judgemental yet? <narf>

Thanks Kar!! I wrote a long entry this morning in part about that assumption. (then my computer crashed). Since Mike left the show there has always been the assumption that
Kucha would have won the next IC challenge..

hello? that wasn't a given. Woulda Coulda Shoulda.. doesn't change reality.

Another assumption is that by choosing Tina, Colby handed her the win. By choosing Tina he made it more likely he'd not win (that if he chose Keith), but since several of the jury members
were wavering.. it could have easily been 4-3 for
Colby.. some people (several of the interviewers) simply assume that Colby gave it up.

Wasn't his to give up, and frankly, don't think he did give up.

Another common statement is to say that Kimmi blabbed about previous votes, but I remember one of the Ogakor guys, when he was interviewed after leaving, saying that Jeff himself had told him, so they had this knowledge independent of Kimmi anyway.

By the way.. I love many of the observations in this thread after last night!!
---

I also think Maralyn seems forced.. maybe part of her cop persona, or just nervous, but still I like her lots. I also think Mike is strange.

By early this morning some of them were zombie-like.. Tina got one hour of sleep.. they were on air in LA at 5am.. (or probably 4) doing the early show with Bryant and Jane from LA and also doing lots of interviews and shots on the LA morning news. Some was just repeats of coverage from last night's news, most of which was about survivor.


Good pictures Willi! That first one of the three of them is great.. that color on Colby is excellent!

Oh.. I heard that will be a show next Thursday with the survivors.. maybe a followup.

Tina said this morning that she won't be home until the 19th.

I suppose Kel went on about Jerri, but.. I think I can understand why. I they had just voted him off, cool.. not pleasant, but that's the game.
Making up a story like Jerri did and then insisting on continuing that story long after they were all back in the US, on interview after interview.. yet she calls Tina and Colby backstabbers... unless she has actual proof that is slander, plain and simple. I thought he did just fine.

Sigh.. I've enjoyed this Survivor immensely and of course enjoying it with all of you was what made it so great.

yeah, I guess Kel did go on about Jerri, but he was funny. :) I wonder if Jerri will ever see the irony of how angry she was that Colby lied to her and was unapologetic, and how she searched someone's personal belongings, found no evidence of wrongdoing, and even when presented with the opportunity last night, still chose not to apologize...

In no way do I think that Colby gave up nor did he make a mistake. Colby seems like someone who is not willing to sacrifice his principles no matter what he stands to gain. As many of them have said, it is not just about the money. I think when faced with a choice of choosing to pick between Keith and Tina, the question he had to ask himself was which of those two individuals did he want to see win either $100,000 or $1,000,000. He knew he was going to get one of those amounts himself. Would it be more preferable to him to see Keith get $100,000 (or possibly $1,000,000) or see Tina get it. Maybe he felt like Tina played a better game and was more deserving then Keith. Or maybe, he felt a lot closer to Tina (they look like they have genuine admiration for each other) and felt that it was worth the risk to make sure she was in the money round. I get the feeling that Tina and Colby must have made an alliance to each other that no matter what, they would not vote the other off. By doing that, they saw each other make it to the end. I don't think he could have made any other choice when he had that solo vote.

Sure, Colby could have picked Keith to go into the final round with - many would have called that good game playing, especially if he had won. But, but doing what he did, he was leaving it up to the jury to pick the winner. Colby probably did what was right for Colby.

I don't think that Kel went overboard on Jerri at all. She said something about him that was'nt true that got him voted off. It would be one thing to get voted off because you did something to make everyone mad, but it would totally suck to get voted off because of a cheap trick.

About Maralyn . . .it seems like someone wrote a couple of jokes and things for her or told her word for word what to say. It seems rehearsed or something.

I didn't think Marilyn sounded rehearsed. To me she sounded like someone trying to grab some last minute attention for herself. Seemed kind of sad to me, but I still like her. She's a tough lady and it would of been fun to see her go longer.

I think Kel is brave to be as honest as he is. It's so much easier to act like you are over it and not say what you really feel. But he isn't doing that. He doesn't like Jerri and he's saying so. Good for him!!!

Keith looks SO MUCH BETTER with a beard! I really like Colby without one, although he looked good with it too.

And I still didn't like Bryant!!!!

It was Tina that searched Kel's bag. That was the thing she said she regretted.

I liked that Kel was outspoken on the subject of Jerri. That was honest and contributed to the tone that made the show enjoyable. How dull would it have been had everyone said something contrite and polite, hiding their feelings. They did that in the first show's reunion. MB may have even encouraged/requested them to be frank.

I think Maralyn "wrote" her own jokes. They weren't that good.

I find it interesting that the producers of these shows say they are interested in videos displaying a contestant's personality more than anything, yet most are filled with stupid stunts. I liked Elisabeth's the best because she was being real and made light of an unexpected pothole in the road.

Zeb, yes I thought that was very cute. I have only seen Alicia's Kangaroo Barbie deal in Central Park. Have you seen anymore?

Tina's, I think, had her climbing in a tree talking, and falling out.. something like that..

Alicia's was cute.

They were showing them as they were going to commercial on the reunion show w/ Bryant Gumble, if I'm not mistaken.
