I agree with RG to a point. There are many times when I've posted in the past and I'm completely ignored, it feels really awful. Apparently what I have to say doesn't matter. But I keep coming back, not as often as two years ago, but I do keep coming back. I like reading what others share for their insights, wit and intelligence. A lot of you are my favorite posters. I'll only post now if I think there's reason for me to do so (like now). Also, I don't have as much time to spend on the computer like some of you do, so engaging in an on-going thread convo is difficult for me. I like participating on this board and for the most part, posters are easy-going and friendly. I hope that RG reconsiders and drops in from time to time. I've always enjoyed her posts.

I have been really thinking about all this today and first and foremost I want to thank all of you that took time out of your busy day to be supportive of me. It means more than I can say. I guess in a way it helps to know that some of you have felt the same as I do. Not that I want anyone to ever feel ignored, but you know what I mean.

I have read and reread my recent posts concerning Teresa and Lex and I have to say I just am not sure where Gina is coming from. I really don't see where I "harshly accused" anyone. But if I did, I'm sorry! Maybe it's the time of year that makes me cranky... not a great excuse but the only one I have at the moment.

Again, Thanks to each and everyone one of you for your thoughts and concern.

The TVCH people are AWESOME!

I admit to having cut down my posts to the Sufvivor area, although read each new post. For me, it hasn't been ignoring anyone--RG, Egbok, or anyone else. I am very much interested to hear what all of you have to say.

For me, it's had to do with how I feel about the Survivors and the way posts seem to be going. I've always been able to keep it all fun. Even when I get pissed at something on the show (and in previous Survivor shows) I've still been able to keep the fun in my posts.

After the comments Lex made, that all went away for me. Not saying it's good, just that it happened and I recognized it. RG, I agree with your post that if Lex had been the one to do what Teresa did to Frank, lost of folks would be all over him. And I'd be leading the pack. However I also want to say that I sure lost a lot of respect for Teresa when she made that move--so I'm all over her as well.

It does help that Frank said for her to do it. At the same time, any time you turn on what you've been loyal to, then you indicate to others that your lotalty may not be worth much.

Next, for me, I got discouraged when many of the Lex followers blamed Lex's comments/actiosn on anything else but Lex. It's the iditing, or the stress. Well, BS to that. They can't edit him saying it if he didn't say it, and he has continued with this approach for a couple weeks now. Stress? Everyone else is under the same stress, and not acting that way.

Lex hasn't shown any level of respect for those who are there to win and give him a run for his money. Anyone that votes against him gains his hatered--yet, wht does he think the game is all about? His comments for Frank and the look in his eyes border to something that has nothing to do with respect. Kind of reminds me of Hardy's approach to try and hate someone that he was getting reday to vote for. Yet, many folks seemed to be blinded by his looks when it came to try to fairly evaluyate that habit.

Oh, about my rooting for Clarence after he had the cherry and bean thing. I agreed up front that he screwed up big time. For me it was still trying to have fun, and kept rooting for him since I had picked him before the game ever started--like we did on S2. I also saidif he did anything like that, I'd pick someone else and lead the rooting to have him voted off. So I make an effort to not just excuse my favorite for any action.

Well, that's what I've been holding off with when I see all of the posts about this version of Survivor. I still love the game, and I enjoy most of the competitors. I really like what people have to say, and it's my own fault when I take it serioulsy.

RG, Egbok and others--I hope to read lots of great thoughts, and hope my words above don't create a problem. I just wanted to explain why I've not posted to an area I typically have lots to say. I just figured with theway I was feeling, I'd stir the pot, when I didn't want to do that.

I do love a good game though, and MB can put a good one together.

Hey Lance, that pretty much sums it up! I have not really rooted for any of the players.

I really enjoy all the speculation and the plotting and manipulation. I think if we can all just remember whatever dastardly, reprehensible stuff we see on the show... it is just that- a show. I am really irritated with several dumb players right now... but I really DO know they are not dumb in real life, or bad people. They just play dumb, bad people on TV!


I like it when the game twists and turns. I think MB is a master storyteller and I come away from every single show having had a wild ride!

Now.... back to our discussions!

Tksoard writes, "Resortgirl, let me put in my 2 cents. I can't post in your folder because of the damn archieve deal again, but I did read the last page of messages to you." What folder?? What does archieve deal mean??

I'm so new to TVCH and have just started posting this week after coming by for months and reading everyone's posts. I love Survivor, but it wasn't until Big Brother 2 (I didn't watch BB1) that I found the need to get online and discuss these crazy characters with other equally interested viewers. I stumbled across this website quite by accident and now I don't go anywhere. The other sites I found were too crude or had too many angry, vicious posts. I feel like the people who post here are a lot like me -- completely normal, caring, considerate, intelligent people who have an unusual interest in reality shows. (I don't really think my interest in unusual, but my friends would. Survivor is my guilty pleasure.)

I'm writing all this for those of you like Resortgirl who are feeling discouraged. Please don't go. I don't want this place to change. I feel right at home here even though I haven't posted much at all. It's like my Survivor newspaper. I can read the headlines and articles for the shows I missed, and I can read the editorials or letters to the editor concerning opinions about the show.

Welcome Sammmy!! OK, the archieve thing is my problem. I have WebTV and it's just something that happens to me. The folders are member folders where we can get personal messages from everyone on the board. I tried to start a folder for you, but even the Members List has to be archieved for me!! Someone will start one for you when they see this.

Go to the top of the page here. You will see Discussions title. Enter that and it will take you to a whole new world of TVCH!! In the members room, you have to enter your Username and Password to get in. There are all the member folders. There are areas for General Discussions, Other reality shows, a Library, Tv shows, a game room and others. This is more than just a Survivor board. You thought you liked it now, just wait!! You are not going to believe how your life is going to change, and all the great people you will meet. Try it and let us know if you have any problems. Someone is always here to help you, and someone will make you a folder. (Damn archieve thingy) Good luck and have FUN!! Then we will help you with the New Messages page. That is the best way to get around here.

Hi, I think most of us at one time or another have had similiar feelings, RG and Gina, as well. Do what is best for you, RG, but hopefully these posts have put things into better perspective.

My take on the whole Teresa thing is that while I don't believe her to be a saint (I don't know any of those, anyway but I know some wonderful people with human flaws), I don't have a problem with what she did. We had the privelge in S2 of seeing Rodger "sacrifice" himself for Elizabeth to be able to stay longer and I know I wasn't alone in bawling my eyes out watching that. We didn't get to see this conversation btw F and T/KP but I think if we had, most of us would have a better understanding of all three and I would guess feel better towards them but maybe not. Unfortunately we didn't get to see F "sacrifice" himself.

Frank was honest as mentioned above but I have to say Rodger in my eyes was the most honest most bestest most anything good of all the survivor's :) Okay, must tell myself again to try to focus on S3, not S2. Like many of you, I still like the game but it doesn't matter to me much who wins. Basically, don't want KJ or Lex to win but that is about it.

Resortgirl,

I too am cranky this time of the year. I wrote that post because I am frustrated with folks getting mad at other folks for their opinions. My intention was to write it, not post it. So here I am, coming accross way more harshly then you ever did. So I obviously owe you an apology.

I should not take my frustrations out on you, becuase your post only slightly reminded me of all the flames I see on a daily basis on the internet. I did feel icky, because it is the Christmas seasons, and I hate finger pointing.

I like reading and posting here because there is so little of it on these boards. ("It" being flaming, and calling other people's opinion lame, stupid, or alot worse) And I deeply appreciate it.

Writing these things to myself is often my way of dealing with some of my frustrations. It is just so many places on the internet where people flame. And it bothers me to no end.

I love to read different peoples opinions on here. Otherwise, why would I come?

Again Resortgirl, I apologize for directing my frustrations at you. It was uncalled for.

Thanks for the info, Tksoard. Resortgirl made me a folder already . Gina and Resortgirl, I'm glad to read that you two are not mad and holding grudges. Two class acts. Now let's carry one with the Survivor version of Point, Counterpoint(You know that political talk show? Now those are heated and harsh discussions, and no one has left the show maimed yet.)
