Gina on Early Show
The ClubHouse: Archives: Gina on Early Show
Judy | Friday, April 05, 2002 - 07:09 am     I think I may have missed the beginning- but when I tuned in Jane was talking about her nature background. Gina said she never felt 'challenged' by the environment- but was mentally challenged by her first tribemates. Then Jane asked her to say the first thought that popped into her head about her tribemates: Rob- Stupid. She said he made a really dumb decision at the beggining of the game. (booting Hunter?) She said he is not 'stupid' per se- but that she thought his strategy was. Sean- Angry Person. Did not get along with him in game. He played the game in an angry manner. Did not get along with him. Commercial. When they came back she is at desk with Clayson- and Bryant Clone and caucasion Roker stand in?? Jane continues name game. Sarah- Nice girl. Got to know her well at loser lodge. Everyone chooses to play game differently, blah blah... Jane asks about Hunter. Gina says the old tried and true. "We are just friends" Clayson laughs and says- "I think you rehearsed that!" They read an email from someone mentioning the Gina/Hunter sightings and rumours. Gina says she has been to CA to visit Hunter. And has been to visit others from the game as well. They don't ask who . GRRR! They end up on the watermelon thing. She talks a little about her Watermelon Queen duties- and they all spit some seeds. That's all I can remember- I was little distracted by her looks. What a beauty! |
Webkitty | Friday, April 05, 2002 - 07:26 am     Gina was warm and gracious. Who knew she was the watermellon spitting champion? She was a good sport and demonstrated for us. Beauty, brains and poise, she's got it all! |
Pagal | Friday, April 05, 2002 - 07:34 am     She also said that she thought Rob could have done better if he hadn't made the mistakes he did. Did anyone else catch this? Do you think she unknowingly said a bit too much? |
Seamonkey | Friday, April 05, 2002 - 08:02 am     She said she wouldn't change a thing; awesome experience; didn't want to talk about the vote ahead.. She jokes about doing the show for Jeff Probst.. says that will start another rumor. Jane says plenty about you and Hunter.. she said yes.. but no info yet. But they talked about her nature guide job in Florida and Gina said "was". This is just the first little blurb. She's smiling, happy. |
Webkitty | Friday, April 05, 2002 - 08:07 am     Pagal, I caught that too...she seems too smart to "unknowingly" say too much, but, you never know.... |
Webkitty | Friday, April 05, 2002 - 08:09 am     Seamonkey my friend! Thank you for "being there" during the play by play last night, your encouraging words helped me to focus and "stay in the monment"  |
Seamonkey | Friday, April 05, 2002 - 08:10 am     Next segment: (weather guy is Ira Joe Fisher.. this show does seem to hire weather guys with double chins) (ack.. a Martha Stewart promo) (see Bryant Gumbel thread for excellent contribution in re Martha, by the esteemed Grooch) |
Mindyrama | Friday, April 05, 2002 - 08:10 am     Damn! I missed it!!! Poor Gina!! I would have liked to see her stick around. |
Seamonkey | Friday, April 05, 2002 - 08:24 am     Ah,WK, you and others were giving me good info.. Back to Gina.. nope after "this" Gina wearing a dark green pantsuit, hair looking healthy and shiney and definitely lighter in color. In chairs, with Jane.. eagerly waiting to analyze if she made a slip with Rob, or what... (thinking about loserlodge.. Peter.. eek, Patricia.. ack, Gabe.. Sarah.. Hunter.. I can see why Gina got to know Sarah and of course was happy to see Hunter.) <Crazy Gideon commercial..> Obligatory Tribal Council footage.. She says she understands the vote, that she'd give them a run for their money in immunity challenges (that was my guess) 1st tribe.. very difficult for Gina, most members playing as individuals, not team.. Jane says lazy? Gina: a little bit of both. Switch, best day of game at that point. Family feel. Challenges: Reward Challenge was "awesome".. Food.. nobody got sick. Immunity Challenge, didn't work as a team; didn't blame Kathy. Degree in wildlife ecology, nature guide, not hard to be out there.. never once felt challenged.. except first team.. Strategy, to be nice.. Jane says can you WIN as a nice person.. Gina.. yes! Jane says good for you. Rob. great person, a little stupid on the island. He made an early mistake; things would have gone a lot differently, the talked about it (hmm..).. then she said, but he's still in the game and I'm not (I think to cover). Sean angry person. Didn't get along. Said he was angry in the game, but I don't... trailed off.. makes me wonder if she was going to say she doesn't know him off the game.. <commercial break> |
Tksoard | Friday, April 05, 2002 - 08:26 am     Pagal, I did notice that and I thought maybe she wasn't suppose to say that, but then she said it again alittle while later. She is a real beauty!! She also won the watermelon seed spitting champ. by spitting it 38 ft. 11 in. You put the big end in front and spit. The weather guy spit, but not the seed!! LOL!!  |
Seamonkey | Friday, April 05, 2002 - 08:35 am     Gina at desk.. weekly scorecard.. X over Gina's face. Sarah.. nice girl, got to know her .. could have played the game a bit differently.. Gina didn't like her in the game... she was one of the ones who voted out Tricia and Hunter. Hunter. "just friends".. Has been to California to visit with Hunter, saw a couple of people from the show (maybe Gabe? Sean? Sarah? all live in SoCal) Now the watermelon spitting.. sigh. her record is 38' 11". Way too much about watermelons.. I want more DIRT! St |
Moondance | Friday, April 05, 2002 - 08:39 am     I just watched it... I think Gina is GREAT! She is so nice... it was a cute segment... they seem to enjoy her. She did elude that Rob made mistakes and I thought, well he is still in the game... of course maybe not for long... She likes Sarah and said Sean was an angry man... guess it's not all editing. |
Seamonkey | Friday, April 05, 2002 - 08:41 am     I'd say the weather guy sprayed.. OK.. so it does make you wonder.. she seems to have talked to Rob after the game, and Sarah, but hard to tell about Sean. And this was the first time I knew she still harbored ill will for the others for voting out Patricia as well as Hunter.. |
Seamonkey | Friday, April 05, 2002 - 08:43 am     Moon, she also said she and Rob talked about his mistake later, which does lead me to think, maybe it was at loser lodge. |
Moondance | Friday, April 05, 2002 - 08:44 am     I agree Sea...hmmmmmm |
Twiggyish | Friday, April 05, 2002 - 09:20 am     Sea, now that is a good clue.. "she and Rob talked about his mistake later" |
Car54 | Friday, April 05, 2002 - 09:33 am     But, she said that she had visited with other players including Hunter...so she may have been in touch since they came home. Let's see what her chat says this afternoon. |
Pagal | Friday, April 05, 2002 - 09:37 am     She also mentioned that Rob was a better person outside of the game then in the game. This made me think that she got time to know him in "Loser Lodge." She did not like him at all in the game so my thinking is that she wouldn't take time to know him AFTER the game if he stayed in for the duration. I think instead that he got booted shortly after her and they became friends. Anyone else thinking this way? |
Judy | Friday, April 05, 2002 - 09:41 am     I am Pagal- I think Rob will be the post merge boot. |
Pagal | Friday, April 05, 2002 - 09:49 am     All right Judy! Wanna be in my alliance? :0) |
Car54 | Friday, April 05, 2002 - 10:14 am     The merge is next week.... His last chance to get to Loser Lodge is next week, and given his standout performance under pressure this week, he is a strong candidate to win individual immunity. He really pulled it together...I think when his neck is on the block, he is gonna really fight to win those challenges. not that I am a Rob fan, but just sayin..... |
Juju2bigdog | Friday, April 05, 2002 - 10:52 am     Car54, maybe you just made the argument for him going to loser lodge next week, if it is the last week, and Gina seem to have gotten to know him quite a bit better. |
Tksoard | Friday, April 05, 2002 - 11:20 am     Gina was on Nashvilles "Talk of the Town" today. She said that when the switch happened, they (4) discussed everyone on their tribes, and she ran her mouth like a little school girl!! LOL!! She said she has no idea how it will affect the decision that are coming up. She said that the old Mara prayed, but it meant much more after the switch. So far, she's not mad about anything she has heard or seen on the show. At loser land, she snorkled and experenced the island. And of course, the repeated "no love connection with Hunter. Just a great bond and friendship".  |
Car54 | Friday, April 05, 2002 - 01:35 pm     Posted by BLo33 at the SS board: Hilights of Gina's CBS chat: Highlights of Gina's Web Chat -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Why do you think they voted you off? I'm not sure why they voted me off. Survivor is a unique game and you never know what's going to happen. What was your strategy going into the game and if you could change it, then how? My strategy going in was to be myself, have fun and enjoy the experience as much as possible. If I had it to do over I would not change one thing. Do you regret not talking to your tribemates about last night's vote before going to Tribal Council? I definitely do not regret not talking about the vote. I wanted to walk away with a great experience and the friendships that Paschal, Neleh and Kathy and I had. I feel nothing that I could have said would have made a difference. How long after you left the show did it take you to recover from the rigors of Marquesas? Within 2 days I was eating normally. After returning home from the show in late December it took me months to get acclimated by to my life. What did you think of Rob and his strategy? (i asked this question) Rob played the game well. Of course he's still in the game and I'm not. I would never play with his strategy but it fit him well. The weather always looks wonderful, did you ever get any rain or showers? We did get rain two nights while I was there. It was 2 nights in a row and just a slight drizzle, not a rainstorm. Admit it, you had a crush on Hunter, didn't you? Hunter and I shared a friendship and we have a bond that will never be broken, but no crushes. What did you think about Gabe's being voted off before Rob or Sean? Gabe's being voted off was a HUGE SHOCK. Not just to me but also to Paschal, Neleh and Kathy. In my eyes he deserved to stay longer than my original Maraamu members. How much did you guys talk about Gabe leaving. How upset was Paschal? We talked about Gabe leaving quite a bit. And Paschal was very very upset by the fact that he had been voted out so quick and didn't get to experience the game Was there a bigger reason for voting out Peter or was it just that smirk? Don't forget he did get the fire started. The reason for Peter's demise was because he started playing the game in the open way too early for everyone in the tribe. And yes he did work on the fire, so did I. He was strong and it was sad to see him go but he was the first bit of negativity. What did you think of the camera comments that Rob and Sean were making which you didn't get to see until you viewed the show? Nothing that those two said surprised me. They acted the exact same way on the Maraamu tribe as on Rotu. I could tell that Sean and Rob were looking for a way to take over the leadership role. Did you watch previous Survivor shows and if so did it help you? I'm a huge Survivor fan and I watched every episode of every show. I even had Africa taped while I was gone. What was the most interesting thing about you that wasn't shown? The fact that I love the outdoors, wildlife and nature. What was the hardest challenge? Diving 25 feet under water to get those rocks out of the boat. Who did you find most attractive? From our tribe, Rob and Hunter. From the other tribe, Gabe. Could you tell that Rob was using Sarah to get further in the game? I could tell they had something from the minute the game started. Whether Rob used Sarah or Sarah used Rob is unknown. Is there any truth to the story that you are moving to LaJolla, California? There is no truth to that rumor. I am moving to the West Coast for other reasons, like grad school and employment opportunities. But not moving to LaJolla. Do you think Sean played the race card a little too heavily? Race was not an issue for anyone but Sean, in my eyes. He definitely played the race card too heavily. From interviews, it appears that Sarah liked you alot and was surprised by all the dirty looks you were giving her. What was that about and what are your feelings about Sarah? The dirty looks were for her not answering any questions put forth to her and for not contributing 100%. She's a super sweet person outside of the game but I didn't like the way she played the game. Sarah seemed to be eaten up by the nonos. Did they affect you? The nonos did not affect me. I kept covered up and used plenty of bug juice. How did it feel raiding Rotu? That was an experience that I will never forget. We decided as a team to leave the frying pan for them so that they would have a way to cook, so Rob: we didn't forget it. The blankets were a blessing for both warmth and the upcoming immunity challenge. What was your reaction last night to watching John proposing that they blow the immunity challenge so that they could get rid of Rob? I wish they would have blown it so that I could have made it to the merge but if I were on Rotu I would not have thrown a challenge. Why did you try fishing more? Were the waters dangerous? We did see a number of sharks on Maraamus side. And we all made fishing hooks but we just didn't need to food in our tribe. I was very impressed that you and Kathy beat John and Robert in the rowing challenge. What did it feel like to win that challenge? That was one of the greatest moments on Survivor for me. Beating two of Rotu's strongest was an honor and What food were you craving the most? Ice cream and chocolate. What's next for you? Will you try your hand in the entertainment industry? If the opportunities arise I won't pass them up but my main goal is to head back to school and get a degree in Environmental Studies. |
Moondance | Friday, April 05, 2002 - 07:40 pm     Here is the long version of Gina's chat posted by burntcrispie on SS Gina Crews ~ CBS Chat Transcript ~ Friday, April 5, 2002 Survivor Host: Hi Gina, welcome and thanks for being here to chat with us today. Survivor_Gina: Hello to everyone out there. I'm glad you guys are interested in what's going on and keep watching Survivor! Q: Hi! I am 8 years old. Gina, you are great! Why do you think they voted you off? A: Tommy, I'm really not sure why they voted me off. Survivor is a very unique game and you never know what's going to happen. Q: What was your strategy going into the game, and if you were given the chance to redo the game, would you change your strategy? A: My strategy going into the game was to be myself, have fun and enjoy the experience as much as possible. If I had to do it over again I would not change one thing. Q: Hey Gina! Do you regret not talking more about the vote with your fellow tribemates before last night's Tribal Council? Do you think there is anything you could have said that may have changed their minds? A: I definitely do not regret not talking about the vote before Tribal Council. The reason being I wanted to walk away with a great experience and the friendships that Paschal, Neleh and Kathy and I had. I felt that if I talked about the votes that might jeopardize that friendship and that bond that we'd created the nine days that we had together. And I feel nothing I could have said would have made a difference. I wanted to let the cards fall as they would. Q: How long after you left the show did it take to recover from the rigor's of Marquesas? A: As far as food-wise...the food element of the show - within two days I was eating normally and actually eating more but even after returning home from the show in late December it took months to get acclamated back into my world. Some nights I would wake up and not know where I was. *laughs* Q: Hi Gina. I just bought a Survivor: Marquesas Buff! And I want to know what was your favorite way to wear it? A: My favorite way to wear my buff was around my wrist. Q: What did you think of Rob and his strategy? A: Rob played the game very well - of course he's still in the game and I'm not. His strategy was one that I would never use but it fit him well. Q: On the show, the weather always looked wonderful. Did you ever get any rain showers or storms? A: We did get rain, I think it was two nights in a row while I was there but it was just a light, constant drizzle...no rainstorms. Q: gina, c'mon, admit it. you had a crush on hunter, did you? I do! A: *laughs* Ummm...maybe you should contact Hunter then! Hunter and I shared a friendship and we have a bond that will never be broken...but no crushes. Q: Gina, what did you think about Gabe's being voted off before Sean or Rob? A: Gabe's voting off was a HUGE shock. Not only to me but to Paschal, Kathy and Neleh. Like several others, in my eyes he deserved to stay a lot longer than my original Maraamu members. Q: Gina, how much did you guys talk about Gabe leaving. How upset was Paschel? A: We talked about Gabe leaving quite a bit and Paschal was very, truly upset by the fact that he'd been voted out so early and didn't get to experience the game as much as he wanted to. Q: Your luxury item is an "adventure bag". What's an adventure bag, and what did you use it for? A: In the adventure bag I had cross-stitching and supplies to make necklaces with but I actually used the bag that those things were in every day to collect grapefruit, papaya, mangos and shells...and even crabs; so it came in handy. Q: The crabs looked good. How were they? A: The crabs were VERY, VERY delicious but they did leave a bad after taste and there were no toothbrushes. Q: Was there a bigger reason for voting out Peter or was it just because of that smirk? A reminder, he did get your guy's fire started and he was strong. A: The reason for Peter's demise was because he started playing the game in the open way too early for everyone on the tribe. He was not the only one working on the fire that day - I was included also and yes, he was very strong and it was sad to see him go but he was the first negativity out team had. Q: Gina, I loved your audition tape! Did you come up with the idea of you eating that watermelon and wearing the crown by yourself? A: Actually, my younger sister Randi helped me with the idea of wearing the crown and I decided the watermelon would fit in great. Q: Dear wonderful, clever Gina: I so wanted to see you continue on to at least the last four. We'll miss you. It seems obvious that your chances would have been better with the original tribe. Do you agree? A: Thanks for the wonderful comments. There's no way to tell whether my chances would have been better if I were to have remained with the original team and that is what makes Survivor so interesting - because you never know what's going to happen. Q: Gina what do you think of all the off camera comments Rob and Sean were making that you didn't see until you saw the show? A: Nothing that those two said surprised me. They acted the same exact way on the original Maraamu tribe as they did on their new Rotu tribe. I could tell Sean and Rob were waiting for the moment to take over the leadership role. Q: Did you watch the previous Survivor Shows, and if so did it help you in any way? A: Of course, I'm a huge Survivor fan and I watched every episode of every show. I even had Africa taped while I was gone. But every show is unique and different and no matter how much you learned from previous Survivors it might not have helped you. Q: What is the most interesting thing about you that wasn't shown on the show? A: Probably the most interesting thing about me is that I love the outdoors, wildlife and nature. That was the entire reason for doing Survivor. Q: Did any of the zoology/biology/nature classes from University of Florida help you at all? A: Definitely those classes helped. It was easy for me to recognize the plants that we were allowed to eat compared to the plants that we weren't allowed to eat. In some cases the difference was very slight and could have been deadly if wrong. So, they definitely made a difference in finding food. Q: Who did you find the most attractive? A: For me the hardest challenge was diving 25 feet under the ocean to get those rocks out of the boat. The water was murky and with contacts I couldn't see much. That was probably where I was most disappointed in my performance. Survivor Host: Our apologies--wrong question. The question was... Q: Gina, what was the hardest challenge. Survivor Host: And now to find out who Gina found the most attractive! A: Probably the most attractive people on my original team were Rob and Hunter, of course and from the original Rotu I'd have to say Gabe. But this is definitely just my opinion. Q: Besides being voted off, what would you say was your lowest point while you were on the island? A: Actually, getting voted off wasn't too low of a point for me. I would have to say the lowest point was when Hunter was voted off and I was left as an outsider with V and Sean pairing and Rob and Sarah as a pair. For twelve hours, I was totally bummed. A: But then the switch came! Q: Hey Gina! Could you tell when Rob was starting to get involved with Sarah that he was just using her to get further in the game? We'll miss you! - Your biggest fans A: Thanks for the great comments - it's always [..] to have fans out there. As far as the relationship between Rob and Sarah, I could tell they had something going on from the minute the game started whether Rob was using Sarah or Sarah was using Rob was unknown. Q: Gina, is there any truth to the story that you are moving out to La Jolla, California? A: There is no truth that I will be moving out to La Jolla, CA. I do plan on moving out west but for other reasons like grad school or opportunities...but no La Jolla. Q: do you think sean played the race card a little too heavily? A: Race was definitely not an issue for anyone but in Sean in my eyes. I think he did play the race card a little too heavily. Q: Gina, your right, sand does put out fire... do you think that moment is what jeprodized your change in making it to the merge? A: Definitely not. I think we all had different views on what's right and wrong and things may have worked on Rotu's side that didn't work on Maraamu's side but I personally do not think that had anything to do with me gettin' the boot. Q: Hey Gina! Since Survivor, has it been hard to go to public places, seeing that over a million people watched you every Thursday? What's the biggest change in your life since you've appeared on the show? We'll miss ya! - Your biggest fans A: Again, thanks for the great comments. The only wierd thing is being noticed and recognized by people who don't know you in malls, restaurants and airports. But it's a great feeling and I enjoy talking with anyone. Q: do they give you toilet paper on the island or do you have to use leaves? A: Oh, how I wish we had gotten toilet paper! We were informed which leaves were the softest and also even what side of the leaf to use... so, no toilet paper. Q: From interviews it seemed like Sarah liked you a lot and was surprised at all the dirty looks you were giving her. What were all the dirty looks about, and what are your feelings on Sarah? A: The dirty looks were for her not answering any questions that I put forth to her about situations and her trying to act as though she had contributed 100% to our old team. Sarah is a super sweet person outside the game but in the game I did not like the way she played. Q: Sarah seemed to get eaten up by the no-nos pretty badly. Was it just as bad for you? A: No, the no-nos did not affect me. I kept covered up most of the time and put lots of bug juice on me to keep them away. Being from Florida and being used to all the bugs might have given me an advantage over the no-nos. Q: Hi Gina, I thought you were the most graceful Survivor ever. How did you react to Rob's inquiry into John's sexual orientation? A: How sweet your comments are. Rob was just playing the game the way he thought was best and he is also from a different part of the country than I am which means he had a little different upbringing which I didn't have a problem with. As far as John goes - I have no problem whatsoever with his sexual orientation. It's great that he's comfortable with it. Q: Congrats Gina, I was hoping you could pull the cat out of the bag!!!! Please tell me the trick to spitting a watermelon seed 38 feet! That is true talent. A: *laughs* Oh my gosh! I would not call it true talent, Like the game Survivor, watermelon seed spitting is a lot about luck but you do need to have a large sized seed and lots of hot air. Q: I was very impressed that you and Kathy beat John and Robert in the rowing challenge, especially with their huge lead. What did that feel like to win that challenge? A: That was probably one of the greatest moments for me on Survivor. when Kathy and I got into the boat it looked as if we were already beaten but we pulled together, used our head and strength and were able to overcome John and Robert which was a great feeling of course. Beating tow of Rotu's strongest players was an honor and an experience that I'll always remember. And plus, there were chocolate chip cookies,,, *laughs* Q: What was your reaction to the crab escaping out of kathy's bag? I thought it was hilarious. A: I actually did not see that during the game. When the episode aired last night was the first time and I too thought it was hilarious. Q: Were you able to explore the island> What interesting things did you find? A: Yes, I was able to explore the island to some extent and the scenery was of course, the most interesting and intriguing along with the many types of birds found on the island. The Banyon trees were also very enchanting. Q: Do you regret anything you said or did out on the island? A: I absolutely did not regret anything I said or did during the game. I played the game exactly how I wanted to - just as I play the game of life. I enjoyed every minute and wouldn't change a thing. Q: How did it feel raiding Rotu? A: *laughs* That was an experience that I also will never forget. Partly because I had no clue where anything was and we still managed to wipe'em clean. But I do have to add that we chose as a team (Kathy, Neleh, Paschal and I) to leave the frying pan so that they would have something to cook with. So, we didn't forget it Rob! A: The blankets were a blessing - both for warmth and for the upcoming immunity challenge. A: So, thanks to Rotu! Q: Gina you have the distinction of being the nicest person and best player to ever leave the game before the merge. Isn't that better than the million? A: *laughs* You guys are way too nice. Leaving the game with my integrity and not having to compromise my views in playing the game meant the world. The bond that Kathy, Neleh, Paschal and I shared was much more important to me than the million dollars would have ever been. That is what playing the game was all about to me - walking away with the experience of a lifetime and friends that will last forever. Q: Do the camera people ever get in your way? A: *laughs* Funny that you ask. I got hit a few times in the head with a camera at the last immunity challenge. The camera crew does an awesome job and they have the huge responsibility of getting everything on tape so sometimes accidents do happen. Q: How come you didn't try fishing more, were the waters dangerous? A: Yes, we did see as number of sharks on Maraamu's side As far as fishing goes, I think we all made hooks from Acacia trees and Hibiscus trees but they really weren't strong enough to pull in a big one. Also, on our side we had enough food without the fish. Q: Since it wasn't your destiny to win the game, unfortunately, are you happy that you were voted off earlier than later? A: That's a hard question to answer. The one thing that I would have loved to have done was to compete in the individual immunity challenges. I have to say that I wish O could have stayed longer but there are no regrets and I had a great time being booted this early. Q: What was your reaction to watching John last night proposing blowing the immunity challenge so they could get rid of Rob? A: *laughs* I wish that they would have blown it so that I could have made it to the merge but if I was on Rotu's side I would have never blown a challenge in order to sacrifice one of my teammates at that point in the game. Q: What food were you craving the most when you got booted out? A: I was probably craving ice cream the most...and chocolate...having won the reward challenge of the meal which included quiche, bean salad, fried chicken, vegetable salad, french bread, chocolate chip cookies, chocolate-chocolate chip cookies, shortbread cookies, a chocolate cream filled cookies and a few other things (the Sierra Mist of course) so I just had a full meal and wasn't craving much. I did enjoy lots of chocolate and the first place I went when I came home was my favorite sushi restaurant - it was awesome! *laughs* Q: Gina - what's next for you? would you try your hand in the entertainment industry? You sure got the looks for it A: Well, thank you. That's definitely not why I did Survivor but I totally enjoy being in front of the camera and if opportunities were to arise I wouldn't pass them up but my main goal is to head back to graduate school and get a degree in Environmental Studies. And that requires money so it wouldn't hurt if something came along. Survivor Host: Unfortunately, we're all out of time with Gina today. Gina, thanks so much for being here today to chat with us. Do you have any final comments for the Survivor fans? A: Thanks to everyone for watching and being huge supporters of the show and to all the people who support me - thanks so much for your nice comments and keep watching Survivor! It only gets better!! Thank you. transcribed by groovykat |
Kizz | Saturday, April 06, 2002 - 06:18 am     I was really impressed with Gina's poise as she spoke with Jane. She was a good sport and seemed very un-affected. As far as her slipping up in her comments about Rob, I feel sure MB has someone prep these kids about how not to be taken off guard by a question and accidentally let something slip. And its not unprecedented for them to drop a red herring or two via these interviews (or for those of us who enjoy diseccting each and every thing related to this game to read too much into what is said!!) |
Car54 | Saturday, April 06, 2002 - 06:47 am     Just saw Gina on the Saturday Early show..they are doing something different with the Saturday ones...not sure how useful this was...Gina was on with Jenna Lewis from S1 talking about the fame, and how life changes after (Jenna has a movie role, so they showed a clip). The only thing Gina said that I think was new is that she is NOT open to a nude picture in Playboy offer. Not much of an interview on this one. |
Gina8642 | Saturday, April 06, 2002 - 08:21 am     Both Gina and Hunter speak highly of Rob. So did Patricia for that matter. His chances just don't seem good. Hunter and Gina both seem to have negative opinions of Sean - which speaks well of Sean making it to the Jury. My question - if Rob goes, who is going to make this season entertaining? ? Arguments around religion? That isn't entertainment - I get enough of that on the news. ? Zoe never speaking? ? John's head getting so big it explodes? ? Neleh's eyes' bugging out so big in her interviews that they explode? ? Pascal getting hit upside the head for kissing someone one too many times? This isn't good. After Gabe's boot I thought this season had potential. If Rob goes next time, I may have to quit my little survivor obsesssion. In S3, it all went down hill after Brandon Left. CBS/MB tried very hard to make Teresa seem like a credible threat - but she never was. I always felt kinda cheated after each vote, when I realized what a forgone conclusion each one was. |
Seamonkey | Saturday, April 06, 2002 - 09:59 am     Well, if John's head and Neleh's eyes exploded at the same time, that would be somewhat entertaining.. I think with Rob gone, Sean could be quite entertaining and perhaps we'd see more of the quiet ones, Vee, Zee and Tee?? Rob is definitely entertaining. Rob has now shown he is extremely competitive, both on a brute force task and a somewhat thinking under pressure task. So, for the audience, Rob's probably a good thing. For those on the island, if they are really thinking, Rob is GONE. |
Car54 | Tuesday, April 09, 2002 - 01:41 pm     hahahaha....Gina was on Rosie, and Rosie gave her a cruise to Alaska! (Rosie gave Hunter a cruise to Alaska WITH HIS MOM). How romantic. The funny part is, she asked Gina if she knew about Hunter's trip, and then asked if Gina wanted to take the same trip....Gina was thrilled. Hmmmmm |
Gina8642 | Tuesday, April 09, 2002 - 06:04 pm     Something interesting about Gina on Rosie I watched the video clips of this appearance they have at Survivor Fever. Rosie asked her about the nurse - 'what's his name?'. It took Gina a moment to come up with the correct answer of John. This moment of thinking seemed very genuine and not put on. To me, this clearly meant that Gina does not know John well. If Gina does not know John, John spent no time at loser lodge. IMO - John can't go this week. |
Car54 | Tuesday, April 09, 2002 - 06:47 pm     Nope, John is going on the Jury cruise ship with Tammy. |
Gina8642 | Tuesday, April 09, 2002 - 07:14 pm     I do wish that, but so far none of the spoilers leaked around the time of the taping have proven to be true. I think MB/CBS has a disinformation squad. The only truths have been half truths at best, and all about very non-important stuff. (Location of TC, Ickly fish challange at some point.) |
Judy | Wednesday, April 10, 2002 - 02:50 pm     Gina, I agree that that was a natural pause for Gina on ROsie and it makes me 99.9% sure that John is not going this week. I am completely shocked at Gina though!!! I'll bet she has been getting some real flack here at home for her comments on Rosie. She did not even correct her or WORSE know that she needed correcting when Rosie said she thinks of Ted Bundy when she hears the word Gainesville!! Ted Bundy terrorized Tallahasee, FL (town of Florida State U) not G-ville! Not to say we didn't have our own grizzly serial murderer here- but that was Danny Rolling NOT Ted Bundy. OKAY- Rant over- I feel better. |
