Whit4you | Tuesday, May 08, 2001 - 03:44 pm  Wow you shoulda seen how TOTALLY excited Colby was when she gave him that bike. I mean *totally* excited. I am assuming it was a harley - cause of his reaction. Think that's so awesome. Colby really seems genuinely nice right now. Rosie sure does seem to like him All cleaned up he really seems to be a major charmer. He's definately not going to have a shortage of gals to choose from! |
Whit4you | Tuesday, May 08, 2001 - 03:37 pm  Missed the interview but she gave her a car - pretty neat.. gotta go watching her with colby now hehe |
Max | Tuesday, May 08, 2001 - 03:59 pm  Oh great. You get booted after three days in the OUtback, the press rakes you over the coals, and then a talk-show host gives you the ugliest car in the country? No wonder Deb's depressed!

Admin | Tuesday, May 08, 2001 - 04:15 pm  I want an Aztec!! |
Max | Tuesday, May 08, 2001 - 04:18 pm  Say it isn't so, Neil! Or at least wait for them to redesign it a bit (they are working on it) so it doesn't look so fugly. It's a great idea, but the rear of the thing just looks stupid to me (except when the tent is extended). Of course, this is just my opinion (and that of most members of the PT Cruiser Club) and I don't expect everyone to agree with me. Just don't ask me to admire your car, okay?  |
Max | Tuesday, May 08, 2001 - 03:58 pm  Well good grief! That lets Tina off the hook, now doesn't it? |
Max | Tuesday, May 08, 2001 - 04:25 pm  Wow, I wanna be "a friend of Rosie"! Elizabeth about melted down when Rosie handed her the tickets for a honeymoon in Paris complete with invitations to preview the new fashion lines. |
Max | Tuesday, May 08, 2001 - 04:27 pm  Now she gave Keith a honeymoon to China (where they really know how to cook rice)! I gotta say, he looks pretty darned good. |
Moderator | Tuesday, May 08, 2001 - 04:32 pm  Combined several different "Rosie gives..." threads into one. (c) |
Max | Tuesday, May 08, 2001 - 04:36 pm  LOL Rosie picked on "paunchy" Bryant Gumble for making the comment to Mad Dog (after showing her 'young' picture) about being "back to fightin' weight now." Mad Dog said if she'd worn one of those skimpy tops in the Outback, it wouldn't have been a family show! Mitchell has written a musical (with a collaborator) and trying to get it picked up. They call him the flag pole of Survivor. Rosie called Amber "Satan's Friend". LOL Amber says she posed for "Stuff" magazine instead of Playboy -- not nude, just a little skimpy bathing suit. She wants to "do it all!" Rosie gave Mad Dog, Mitchell, and Amber a trip together to Vegas for a week at the Hard Rock Cafe/Hotel with spending money. |
Max | Tuesday, May 08, 2001 - 04:52 pm  After the "Survivor Challenge", the Survivor I team gets to go to the Outback for a tour of the Great Barrier Reef. Survivor one is going to some island paradise (it went too fast for me to catch where). |
Lancecrossfire | Tuesday, May 08, 2001 - 04:54 pm  Tina isn't off the hook at all for buying Colby a Harley. Unless of course when they made the deal, they included "unless Rosie gets us one first". Now we shall see if Tina truly keeps her word. Admin wants an Aztec??? I'm just going to tell others it's someone that visits from time to time from another board. The shame of it all. Next he will want a Pacer or a Gremlin. That was great of Rosie to give these folks all of this stuff. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, May 08, 2001 - 07:04 pm  Actually Colby did let Tina off the hook.. I just watched the tape, but missed some bits when the *&^&% 4pm news kept breaking in to say there were some powerouts (like.. if I was IN it, the vcr wouldve a n't be recording and if I'm NOT in it.. I want to watch the program) Anyway.. Debb did the intro to the show and to Rosie.... they seemed to hit it off well and she did give her the uglycar .. Debb donatedher backpack and hat for Rosie's auctions on ebay. Debb seems to her sense of humor back... Colby.. got fawned all over.. specialvideo, etc.. Rosie calls him the Tom Cruise of the Outback She gave him the Harley.. etc. Then Tina came out, hugged Colby and Rosie.. and after some bantering where Colby said she was not off the hook, I think Rosie sort of shamed him into letting her off. Rosie told Tina the best part was when Jerri (Rosie called her a little snake) asked what they were most guilty about and Tina turned it on her about the beef jerky.. Tina says she has apologized to Kel, his family, etc. Rosie said that "the internet" is saying Tina is rich.. Tina said she lives in a 1200 sq ft house with one bath room, 4 people .. . Tina getsno gift at this point. Tina donated her hat to the auctions. I missed Elisabeth if she got any comments (I thought she was also sent to China, .. but see above it was Paris).. missed beginning of Keith.. I also thought he looked GREAT!! Showed good humor as well.. even guessing that Rosie would give him rice (she did.. and a honeymoon in China). Rosie asked Keith if he knew what she loved about him.. and he said no one liked anything about him.. He also told about how he had actually planned t ask Katrine to marry him by drawing it in the sand and that TINA suggested that he use his internet chat to do this.. He also said that the publihers had been really pissed when he told them he would be away.. they put his cookbook on the shelf, then when they found out he had been on Survivor, they fell all over themselves getting it out.. Maralyn and Mitchell.. Maralyn donated a signed bra (sigh) but she and Rosie got along famously.. and the above story about Bryant giving a dig about weight.. and Rosie bringing out the pudgy pic of Bryant Mitchell talked about the musical, being tall, etc (he has no apparent personality).. Then Amber.. I missed a bit of this but gather she isn't posing for Playboy but for some mag.. not nude.. Mitchell, Maddog and Amber won trips to Vegas. Then they brought out Sue, Gervase, Gretchen, Jenna and ?Joel? and the two teams competed.. in the end Rosie just gave them all trips. All the SI people on that team got trips to Australia, Great Barrier Reef. and the SII people there got trips to the Grand Caymans. So.. that was it.. great show and I hope Bat got to see it today. |
Zeb | Tuesday, May 08, 2001 - 09:55 pm  The Aztek is a "weekend vehicle" not a "let's go pickup the kids from school vehicle". I agree that it's odd looking but I would love to have one just because it's a travelling tent. |
Fabnsab | Wednesday, May 09, 2001 - 12:05 am  Tina was on the Craig Kilborn show tonight and he teased her about giving Colby something else since Rosie bought the motorcycle and Tina basically said "no way." She said Rosie got her off the hook. She also said that $470,000 will go to taxes. That's ok, Colby will get more money through endorsements than she could ever dream of. |
Ocean_Islands | Wednesday, May 09, 2001 - 03:42 am  First off, WHY did Rosie give these people gifts? I don't get it. Secondly, how is Tina going to pay that much in taxes? That's calculated at a higher tax rate than currently exists. |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, May 09, 2001 - 05:29 am  I did catch the show, Seamonkey. Too bad she didn't allow Debb to come onto the stage and play the game with the others. The first people off get pushed aside. Getting a Aztec was enough I suppose. Gremlin or Pacer...oh that is good Lance, very good. heh heh heh. I am with you and Max on this subject. I was surprized/shocked to hear her critisize Keith so vicioulsy and then call him out on stage. I assumed he was not there! (Not that that would have made it any better) The show is over, time to stop the negative stuff. She was merciless to Jerri and only gave her chocolate and a trip to Hershey Pa when she was on her show previously. (didn't see it, only heard that). Ocean, 400,000 is the 40% I expected her to pay. Maybe someone else knows about the extra 70,000. I am curious about that, too. Must be something to do with winning it? I thought the competition was lame and I would rather have heard them talk about the relationships they have with each other now. 530,000 does not go as far as Tina thinks it will. Paying off 2 mortgages (hers' and her best friends') could reduce it by half. Much better to invest it, not touch the principle and reinvest what it earns for awhile. Foolish mistake to buy things. |
Ocean_Islands | Wednesday, May 09, 2001 - 05:52 am  I guess I'm being too precise. The tax rate is only 39.6%! lol In any case, it's unlikely to be as high as that, since some of that income (most likely) would not be taxed at 39.6% I agree about it being mistake to purchase things, that is a common fault in the response to winnings. It should be used to increase retirement income in the future. |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, May 09, 2001 - 06:27 am  I rounded up. Someone is bound to know. Don't we have a tax accountant on board somewhere? |
Ocean_Islands | Wednesday, May 09, 2001 - 06:44 am  I think it's more likely to be $370,000; perhaps she misspoke. |
Twiggyish | Wednesday, May 09, 2001 - 06:45 am  I think it was generous of Rosie to give those prizes. She did the same thing for the Survivor I group, last year. I thought it was a fun show and I enjoyed the game part. They weren't meant to win or lose, as she was going to give them a prize anyways. Rosie didn't have Richard or Jerri on this time. hmmmmmm Mad Dog was a riot..LOL I don't think there is any hope for Mitch. poor thing. Colby and Keith both looked REALLY good. |
Grooch | Wednesday, May 09, 2001 - 06:51 am  Don't forget, that's before she files her income tax return. She needs to hire a good Tax laywer/accountant so she can plan how to wisely invest her money and spend the least in taxes. On another note, I still think Tina owes Colby a Harley or the cash equivalant whether Rosie gave him one or not. They had a deal, and he gave her the win. Rosie should not be butting in their business and try to shame him to let her out of the deal. Instead of Colby getting a gift from Rosie, Tina got the gift instead. She got a Harley from Rosie to give to Colby. But that's just my opinion. |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, May 09, 2001 - 07:20 am  Colby has $100,000, an Aztec, a Harley, a trip to the Carribean and earning power beyond what he was looking at before this show. That is quite a bit. |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, May 09, 2001 - 07:23 am  Debb got an Aztec and Kimmi got nothing. She was first off on Kucha. Did Alicia or Jeff get anything from her? Odd. What about Nick. Anyone know? Just curious. |
Ocean_Islands | Wednesday, May 09, 2001 - 07:30 am  I didn't see the show, but I don't understand why ANY of them are getting gifts. Some got gifts but others didn't? Is this just pure favoritism on Rosie's part? What gives. |
