Tntitanfan | Thursday, October 11, 2001 - 05:31 am   As a Southener I am glad to see yet another good ole boy on the show! Anyone with a son named "Bucky Bo" is okay with me!! |

Quietstorm4 | Monday, October 15, 2001 - 07:21 am   He is annoying. Can't wait for him to go!!! |
Johnlvs2run | Monday, October 15, 2001 - 08:08 am   Quietstorm... very well said.  |
Teddybear | Monday, October 15, 2001 - 02:27 pm   I am with you Quietstorm. |
Squaredsc | Monday, October 15, 2001 - 05:33 pm   unfortunately, even though it's the first episode, i do not care for Tom, he is a little annoying and a bully. |
Penpoint | Thursday, October 18, 2001 - 08:45 pm   This guy has a kind of arrogance that really turns me off. His thing with "C.B." and "I forgive but I don't forget" is plain stupid at this point. Drop it already. His tribe is going down the tubes and he votes to eliminate a very strong member all on some principle! If he continues with this, the entire tribe, including Tom, will be eliminated before the two tribes are joined. |
Guinevere | Thursday, October 18, 2001 - 10:12 pm   He is so condescending. His attitude toward Clarence is disturbing. Maybe it's innocent, but seeing this older white man with this heavy Southern accent be so bullying to this young black guy kind of bugs me. |
Tisha90029 | Friday, October 19, 2001 - 10:14 pm   I agree Guinevere...especially with the inferences. |
Joan | Saturday, October 20, 2001 - 12:41 pm   I agree with Guinevere too. I really don't think Tom knows how racist he looks or maybe he doesn't even know acting that way is bad but it doesn't make it any less disturbing. He also has some pretty interesting attitudes toward women. He is amusing but I would hate to see a million go to someone who treats black people like untrustworthy children even after he says Clarence has redeemed himself and treats women like they're made of china. |
Gail | Saturday, October 20, 2001 - 01:59 pm   Tom is my least favorite of this year's contestants. I don't really care for that "good ole boy" routine and I have no idea what that was the first week when he was in the water. Was he imitating an elephant? But, I figure each of the contestents were picked to fill a certain roll. I will add to this after I watch my tape of the 2nd show. |
Joan | Saturday, October 20, 2001 - 05:59 pm   I think he was Gail, an elephant with plumber butt. hehe |
Lilliegirl | Sunday, October 21, 2001 - 07:41 pm   I am from the south to but that Tom really made me mad, so he voted Clarence out the first time but it was uncalled for the second time. This team will lose, you dont vote off the most strongest person, they should have voted off Kim, the woman that fell and Jessie went back to help her get up. |
Micknrc | Tuesday, October 23, 2001 - 06:49 am   Tom was dumb in the second vote. He wrote "C.B." again instead of Clarence's full name, making it obvious, that despite his "Clarence is a hard worker/we're past that speech" he just can't stand him. Unless Clarence isn't paying attention, he's got to know that Tom is the one using that"C.B." (i.e. It can't be Diane the second time) If I were Clarence-I'd be working overtime against Tom from here on in.... |
