Scribe | Sunday, March 25, 2001 - 03:09 pm  HI Fruit & Lance !!!! - Absolutely tooooo weird...first time I have had a chance to check in for a LONG while and what do I find but the two of you asking where I am. Nice Guys. Thanks. I have been putting in 12 hour days and just too tired on getting home to check on anything. Sorry. I will try to check mroe often though. Your postings always permit me to catch up fast though!!! Survivor II has Not Engaged me Like Surv I Did: I have to say that when Michael got hurt it was clear that Kucha (I can't even keep the tribes straight - Kucha is Roger and Elizabeths right?) was in trouble and I liked Kucha over Ogalkor ...actually I really haven't liked any of these folks much...Roger and Elisabeth are Ok but the rest are mostly annoying... Tina and Amber are unatractive and boring..and very annoying. I don't like Colby at all..yeh best looking but mentally thin and boring... Nick is boring....might be smart and good looking but as a TV Idol he is boring.... I can tolerate Keith certainly over Jerri (and her dirty hat...lose the hat jerri!) although I agree Jerri's hair is GREAT ... Alishia's (sp?) recent TV appearances have not endeared her (IMHO of course). That finger pointing is really unatractive...and she went on Letterman with ehr silver bathing suit and her horrible accent and head shaking...YUK). I was transfixed by Survivor I but these guys and this place do not engage me.. You know the South Pacific location was just beautiful to look at and as thin and hungry as the Surv I folks might have been they were clean, groomed sort of and very TAN... these people look dirty, emaciated and unattractive except of course Elizabeth... As usual I have no idea who will win...I would think soemone from Colby's group but then I would love to see one of them defect to the other team... But I dont like these people...(I like Roger and Elizabeth). I liked Richard and Susan and thought some of the others were fun to watch...but not these...Remember Greg's imaginary cell phone...that was fairly humorous...Nothing is funny about Surv II though. Party of it I think is the hard location and part of it is that these players are really not indiviudals like the first group... I picked Richard to win on Survivor I after the 4th show. So I am disappointed that I haven't engaged as much in this one or been able to identify who will be the last 3.. You know, Fruit and Lance, and the rest of the Summer "00 faithfull, doesn't look good for BBII but I really liked that 24/7 format... |
Lancecrossfire | Sunday, March 25, 2001 - 03:43 pm  Scribe, those long hours everyday can certainly affect what you do off work! Just glad you were able to pop in today, and hope to see you when your schedule allows. I admit that while Keith was my pre-game pick, I think this survivor would be doing better if Michael was still around. He added a certain intensity to the game the other folks don't have. (I'll give credit to Richard for being a pretty intense player as well). I also appreciate that Michael didn't have his priority being air time exposure or the money; (yes I know he would have taken it if he won) he was there to go through the process and go for the win without regard to the prize. Jerri seems to be there to get her face on TV (understandable since she is an "actress"), and Amber had has a nose ring inserted by Jerri and is being lead around. Colby rubs me the wrong way, although he is a tough competitor. Air time seems to be handed out to conflict only, instead of bits to build the character of each--one disadvantage of one hour for every three days. Although on Survivor I there was exposure (air time) for everyone. Elisabeth is an interesting player. She hasn't been involved in too much conflict, yet has shown she does want to complete. Kind of the "under the radar" thing. Nick is really under the radar. I don't know if Jerri is all that evil--she does have an issue with control. If dictator of the world opens up as a job position, I expect her to be one of the first in line. She has that "my way or the highway" thing going on. (there is a big differrence between being a strong persoon and a controlling person) Keith has moved to the side to let Jerri have her spot in the light. He seems to be staying quiet to her rants. Like anything else would make a difference? Go Keith!!! Go home Jerri! |
Rollerboy | Sunday, March 25, 2001 - 05:22 pm  I think we were BATtered, Lance. If you stay with dexedrine, Bat, I think you'll find that the coffee is redundant. If Jerri wins, I'll eat that freakin' hat. I'm sure it'll be up on e-bay when the show is over. |
Fruitbat | Sunday, March 25, 2001 - 07:09 pm  Hmmmmmmmmm you two taking lessons from Keith? Yep Moon, you're right.  |
Seamonkey | Sunday, March 25, 2001 - 11:08 pm  I'll watch a presentation of Jerrihat flambe but not eating it!! |
Misslibra | Sunday, March 25, 2001 - 11:43 pm  Jerri does have nice hair, and thats about the only good thing I can say about her. And Amber goes right along with Jerri's program. Elizabeth's, beauty, personality and grace put both of those two, to shame. And yes I happen to be on the Keith rooting team ! Go Keith!! BTW stop bashing Michigan I still live here you know ! Hey and we made it to the final four !! GO MICHIGAN !! |
Fruitbat | Monday, March 26, 2001 - 04:16 am  Oh god, another one for Keith. I have a lot of work to do here. Final 4 of states with a lot of water? Identifiable shapes? Cold winters? Flat? Where in Mich MissLibra and Monk ? I am from Grosse Pointe. |
Rollerboy | Monday, March 26, 2001 - 07:31 am  MissLibra, sorry about the bashing, but since I lived there for a time I felt entitled. My best friend still lives in Benton Harbor/St. Joseph area. I have to give you props re State and the final 4. Who knows, now that Chris "how many timeouts we got?" Webber plays here in Sacramento, they might even win. Isn't Grosse Pointe just Detroit with nice lawns, Bat? |
Seamonkey | Monday, March 26, 2001 - 11:25 am  I actually lived in DEEtroit.. many many moons (and bats) ago.. but am happily in So Cal.. Maybe Keith will come out here and open a restaurant serving Perfect Rice a la Jerri in large hats, smoked fresh pork Michael, Kimmi's one-egg omelets, shaking finger sandwiches d'Alicia, sub(missiveamber)sandwiches, Kentucky fries Rodger, Tina's grub(s), Stepson children's menu by Debb, Mad (hot)dogs, Kel's stealth beef jerky, Mitchell's tall lattes, Elisabeth's sweet desserts and they had to drop Nick's entree since no one ever noticed it... |
Lancecrossfire | Monday, March 26, 2001 - 11:32 am  Seamonkey--very good!! Of course I liked the one about Debb the best. I won't even to there about Elisabeth's sweet desserts...better left others. I think Keith would sell more of the rice if it were served in a bikini top. (less in the portion as well) Stealth beef jerky...hehehe |
Seamonkey | Monday, March 26, 2001 - 11:50 am  Maybe mini hats, like the little baseball caps with sundaes in them.. but I can see where some would prefer the blue bikini tops |
Scribe | Monday, March 26, 2001 - 08:34 pm  I posted, got a File Locking error message..went back ...lost the whole post. Sorry. Shorter version: Liked clever post by Seamonkey. Have no idea who will win, but here are my thoughts. If there are no defections, last 3 will be Colby, Amber, Tina. Winner, no idea, these 3 are not particular favorites of any ... maybe Colby ...maybe not.. If there is a defections, then maybe final 3 will be Colby, Amber or Tina and Elizabeth or Rodger...in which case I think Elizabeth or Rodger would get it since so far they have been fairly straight up players... But then, I am always wrong...except I did pick Richard Hatch... I think I did just cause I liked the way he played .... I admit I was in the minority among viewers... |
Misslibra | Monday, March 26, 2001 - 11:11 pm  GO KEITH, ELIZABETH, ROGER, TINA, AND COLBY!! Seamonkey I love your post! LOL Fruitbat, You are not alone Scribe like Richard. And your right Michigan weather isn't cool. It plays havoc on my sinuses. I wont lie to you, if I could move to some place with better weather I surely would. But Michigan has a lot of beautiful scenic places here, and in the fall when the leaves change colors it's just beautiful. But I would move in a heart beat if I could afford it. Do you ever come back to visit, you know family or friends ? |
Rollerboy | Monday, March 26, 2001 - 11:28 pm  You're right MissLibra, for 2 wks in the spring and 2 wks in the fall, Michigan is great. As for the scenic places, that's what postcards are for . |
Tksoard | Tuesday, March 27, 2001 - 11:43 am  I grew up in Paw Paw Mich and moved to Buffalo Valley TN 10 years ago. The one thing I REALLY miss, is the first snow fall. I remember as a kid, sitting in the front window and watching the beautiful snow falling and then when there's enough, go sledding or build snowmen or make angels. 2 years ago, we got a sled when there was about 3 inches of snow on our hill. Bout killed ourselves going up the hill, and hit every bump on the way down!! Came in the house and sat on heating pad for a week. Gee, it's a getting old!! |
Misslibra | Tuesday, March 27, 2001 - 08:05 pm  Keith! Keith ! he's our Man if he can't do it no one can!! Woo hoo!! Go Keith!!> MissLibra waves pompoms and does her famous kick in the air, you know like you see the Dallas cheerleaders do... hehehehe Yes the snow is beautiful, and fun to play in until you have to shovel it. But I tell you what, Christmas wouldn't be the same for me without it. Tksoard, I feel your pain. LOL the same thing happen to me once. Not only was I sore but I had bruises for days. Rollerboy, your wrong it's more like 2wks in Spring, 2wks in fall, and 2wks in winter. And no way can a little picture on a postcard actually take the place of being there. Come on now, you know that! Go Keith! |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, March 28, 2001 - 05:13 am  I never go back to Michigan. I have no family or friends there. I left when I was 18 and my parents moved at the same time. I live in New England so the weather, leaves etc are the same. I am ready to try a different climate. This winter took the shine off snow for me forever. The Detroit area is not a good representation of the beauty to be found there. Lake Huron and the thumb area holds my heart. Burnett said all were shocked at who won...crew, everyone involved. Now this could be hype but for some reason I believe it. Going on that, who would be a shocker? Colby would not be. Nick? nah...don't think he is in the running. Burnett would let us see more of him. No pleasure in an enigma winning. Elizabeth? not particularly striking me. Amber, not likely but shocker?..no. Keith? no. Tina? no, she stands out as playing well. Rodger or Jerri strike me as the contenders of the title of surprize winner. I would put my money on Rodger. In the People mag on S2 I was surprized to learn that Rodger was a CEO of a bank before going into farming and teaching. He is not the innocent Kentucky Joe we see. |
Rollerboy | Wednesday, March 28, 2001 - 09:57 am  I think he admitted as much on the last show or the one before that Bat. It's the accent that throws people. Before I retired, I traveled quite a bit for my job and traveled to the south and southeast several times. It was always hard for me to deal with some judge, doctor or lawyer who talked like some Tennessee Williams character. I always had to stay on guard in order to avoid giving them short shrift. |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, March 28, 2001 - 01:22 pm  I didn't catch that. It scares me at how much I miss on any given show. I don't tape them and only view them once so that may be it. I hope. If not I am seriously adlepated. How right you are about the manner of speech in certain parts of the country. I am guilty of judgement in that arena. Long Island is another tricky one. |
Lancecrossfire | Wednesday, March 28, 2001 - 05:03 pm  Rollerboy, I too caught Roger's comment about playing the role for as much as it was worth. Bat, I too got the Survivor addition, and noted in the article about Roger that he hasn't ever really gotten into the out doors thing. Seems he would like a good hotel room any old time. So, he's stretching his limits more than most that are there. I respect that a lot! Bat, your concern over missing stuff may explain why you don't dislike Jerri's hat. You keep missing how ugly it is. |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, March 28, 2001 - 06:35 pm  Nice try....I did catch what Rodger said after all. I thought Roller meant he made specific mention of being a CEO. So there. |
Admin | Thursday, March 29, 2001 - 07:13 pm  Defending Jerri, my original pick Okay, I think she was unfairly voted out. (But I'm so glad she's finally gone....thank God! I was ready to fly over to Australia and kill her myself!) |
Rollerboy | Friday, March 30, 2001 - 07:22 am  The best quote of the show, besides "put the rope around your neck", Roger on Jerri, "when she gets up in the morning and isn't in a good mood, OH MAMA!". I was on the floor when he said that . |
Norwican | Friday, March 30, 2001 - 07:29 am  ROFLMAO... I missed the one about the rope around the neck! |
Bearcatuc | Friday, March 30, 2001 - 07:46 am  Agreed Rollerboy, I was ROFLMAO. I absolutely love Rodger and Elizabeth. They are such nice people. I hope one of them makes it to the Final 2. I know, wishful thinking. |
