Tina from Survivor II and Will from Big Brother II are also Capricorns. My favorite Tina as Capricorn moment was the competition where they had to stand on those stumps in the river. After long enough everyone else was shivering and whining and jumping off for a spoonful of peanut butter and Tina just stood there calm as you please like she'd only been there a minute or two. I was pulling for Will from the start for a very shallow reason, he is just too damn cute for his own good, but as it went on I adored his sense of humor and his scheming mind. Hopefully we'll see something good from Linda.

I think Linda was smart to say she is going to try to conceal the fact that she has been to Africa many times before this. I think revealing that would be like painting a target on her forehead once it comes down to every man for himself.
