Saw Sarah on the Early show. She said the reason she didn't try to bond with the new players was that she was so miserable from bug bites. She got down to 90 lbs. Seeing her now next to Jane Clayson, she is really a tiny person...I didn't realize how small she is.

The one insight I noticed was she said that she, Rob and VEE were the core Maraamu alliance, not she Rob and SEAN. That the Twist ruined that.

They played the tape of Vee commenting about how she paid a lot for her body...she said she didn't take that as a bad comment.
They also played the tape of Rob saying he was using her for her vote...that she would vote however he told her...she said it wasn't an issue because they totally agreed on what to do all the time.

They also played the Cleopatra clip-she said until the show aired she had no idea she looked that way- that she was the smallest, weakest player and sat in the middle of the raft, so couldnt really help.

My sense was she really had her game face on, that she was really letting any embarrassing questions bounce off of her. She was really fairly poised and unflappable.

Evidently she is back with her pre-Survivor boyfriend, they asked her how he felt about her relationship with Rob...she said he was very understanding and that he wanted her to have a good time on the show.

She said she would do a Playboy spread if the money was right.

Thank you Car. I was hoping someone would post the ES interview! You are possibly the most helpful poster here in the clubhouse. (but I bet you already knew that!)

I got hubby to set an alarm so I could see her on the Early show.. It was interesting though especially since she is still with the boyfriend..hmmm... I know if my partner was on that show and doing what she did, they would no longer be my partner.

Why wasnt I surprised that she will pose for playboy..Im just glad she is gone.. lol

Thanks Car.

<She said she would do a Playboy spread if the money was right. >

Yeah right, this gal went to the beach with Playboy on the brain. She is sitting by the phone right now waiting for her call!!!!

I thought it was funny...they played the clip of Vee saying she has a nice body, she paid a lot of it, if you got it,flaunt it....
The only part Sarah heard was nice body..if you got it, flaunt it...and took it as a compliment.
Talk about selective hearing.

I thought Sarah handled herself extremely well under questioning this morning. I see potential for her in a new career as an "expert witness". Nothing seemed to phase her.

From Survivor Fever:

Highlights of Sarah's Final CBS Web Chat - 3/21/02


How difficult was it for you to not take friction from Gina?
I personally didn't feel any friction. I didn't know at the time how many dirty looks she had thrown at me.


Gina seemed to gain some hope and strength by the teams being reformed. She seemed to be outraged by the old tribe voting off Hunter. Did that have an impact on the voting or was it just your actions that caused you to get booted?
A little of both. I was miserable those last few days from the bug bites and I definitely wasn't participating as much.


How long did it take to get rid of your nono bites?
I'm finally getting rid of the scars. They are fading this past month.


Why did you form an alliance with Rob? Wouldn't Hunter have been a better choice?
Me and Rob had a connection from the beginning, we got along best and seemed to have the same opinions. Hunter and I had tension from the beginning. It seemed natural for me to make Rob my little buddy.


What do you think of Rob now that you've seen his comments about you?
I don't take anything personally, it's just a game. He seems more evil on TV than he really is and I needed him as much as he needed me


Did the switch benefit you or not?
The switch benefited some people and I don't think it benefited me. I would have been in the game longer because Gina was next to go in our group. The switch came earlier than we expected and of course I wish I could have stayed longer.


How have your family and friends reacted to you being on Survivor?
They were very supportive and loved every minute of it.


How did you react when you saw Rob and Sean get a taste of reality at the Rotu camp?
I thought it was funny, I was laughing. The stuff they were saying was totally them. Sean I knew would be in shock but Rob would fit in over there nicely.


In your final words you said you could not wait to see your family and Kevin. Who is Kevin? And did you buy a monkey?
Kevin is my boyfriend of 9 months. He's here in NY with me. I hope in the future to buy a monkey.

What did you think of Neleh, Paschal and Kathy?
I thought they were great. I especially liked Neleh, she is the perfect young woman.

Did you always vote how Rob told you to?
No I did not. Rob needed me as much as I needed him. We had the same game plan.

Was there any racial tension on the island?
Not that I noticed. Sean might have had some in his own head after seeing his interviews.

What were your feelings about Sean constantly using the race card?
To me race doesn't matter.

Do you feel that the switch was a fair thing to do?
Absolutely, the game needs as many changes as possible. We appreciated anything they had us do and for some people it was a helping factor for their status in the game.

If you could go back and pick an alliance with anyone in the game who would it be?
I would have kept my same alliance with Rob but at the same time, me, Rob, Hunter and Gina could have gone far.

What did you think of Gina?
Really nice girl. She deserved to be out there and we will remain friends.

It seems as though if the players had watched the past Survivors that you would know that you must work together to keep from getting voted off. What is your opinion?
You can only fake your personality for about 4 days after that if you are bossy or a leader type, etc it will show.

Have you ever hung out with previous Survivor contestants or are you allowed to?
No, we are not allowed.

Did you find anyone attractive?
Rob, Hunter and Gina. From the other tribe I'd say Gabe and John.

Who was the girl throwing up on the boat on the way to the island?
That would be me. I threw up for 3 hours. Neleh and Zoe took care of me even though we weren't on the same tribe.

Is it annoying that some people just want to work. The Rotus seem to work nonstop and never have fun.
I think they were just trying to impress each other too much.

I hear you have changed careers. What are you doing now?
When I came back from the island I decided that I no longer wanted to work in an office. I want to do something more outdoors. Until other opportunities arise I'm doing freelance photography and serving cocktails in a lounge.

If you got stung by a sea urchin would you have someone pee on the wound?
Absolutely!

I feel that you were mis-portrayed. Do people come up to you and say rude things?
No one has came up to me and directly said anything rude but I hear people say things under their breath

Did your alliance with Rob ruin your chances to win the million dollars?
No it did not.

What was your strategy?
To go out there and be myself, to be tough, go with the flow, have fun and not have any regrets.

Why do you think Maraamu couldn't win any challenges?
Everything we did just didn't seem to work. We weren't working together as a team.

After losing last night's IC did you make any attempt to avoid being voted off?
There's only a few hours in between the challenge and Tribal Council and whatever I'd done in the previous two days wasn't going to change the minds of the others.

Will you be on Rosie or Letterman?
I'll be on Rosie Friday March 22 and Letterman hasn't been decided.

What did Kevin think of your flirting with Rob?
We had only been dating a couple of months before I left and he wanted me to have a good time.

Are you still currently friends with the other Survivors, do you talk to them?
There are some that I haven't gotten to know yet and I can't wait til I do. I do still talk to quite a few quite often.

From what we've seen so far, the originally Maraamu's days are numbered. In hindsight do you think that voting off strong members such as Patricia and Hunter lead to losses?
No I don't think so. Especially Hunter because we had already lost 3 with him there.

If Playboy asks you to pose, what will you say?
Yes if the price is right.

Did the players have body odor?
We didn't smell as bad as I thought we would. Being in and out of saltwater helped. And we got used to each other. After the fafaru challenge we all had bad breath and had it on our clothes.

Just saw Sarah on Extra... she looked good... they called her a Britney look alike... her boyfriend Kevin was on and he is a cutie... what was she thinking with Rob... she said she would do playboy if the price was right... a million dollars (sorry I had to laugh at that one)

Thanks guys!
I just can't seem to do the early curtain call.
I can't imagine what the right price for playboy could be. I think she would have to settle for bargain basement.

She did a great job of avoiding the giveaway of who she got to know, I thought.

Since she lives in Newport Beach out local paper has followed her.. after the pre show articles, they've only had rather grudging little blurbs.

Today's blurb:

Sarah doesn't survive 'Survivor'

A dramatic switcheroo on TV's "Survivor" changed the faces on both the Rotu and Maraamu tribes Wednesday night, but Newport Beach's Sarah Jones got the short end of the stick.

The 24-year-old waitress and free-lance photographer tried to keep up with her new Maraamu tribemates, but bumps and bites got in the way. Scratching herself silly, she lost enthusiasm when her tribe was fishing for shrimp, and she lost her way trying to get back to camp by herself.

Maraamu extended its pathetic losing streak, unable to unscramble a woven tapestry puzzle during the immunity challenge. Rotu emerged victorious again, forcing Maraamu to tribal council.

Facing the fire, Sarah found herself alone, having lost her three slacker allies in the switch. Her four tribemates scrawled her name on the eject cards.

Sarah accepted her fate with grace as host Jeff Probst extinguished her torch. "Sarah, the tribe has spoken," he said. "It's time for you to go."

Sarah will appear on CBS's "The Early Show" at about 8am this morning and will be interviewed on "the Late Late Show With Craig Kilborn" next week.

"The switch came earlier than we expected and of course I wish I could have stayed longer."

That kind of confirms that they were indeed shown the switch before they left!

Sarah was on the Rosie show today. I can't help disliking her arrogant attitude. You can tell she loves the spotlight.

She said her position on the boat was due to her size. She thought Rob wasn't too obnoxious.
Overall, her interview didn't appear to have any spoiler clues.

OMG, Sarah/Howard Stern. A match made in heaven!

Twiggy, what did Rosie give her? Anything good?

I would have given her a can of OFF.

>>What were your feelings about Sean constantly using the race card?

Duh, Sarah, the question was not "How do YOU feel about race?"--it was about how you felt about SEAN using the race card...

She's a bubblehead! (and a self-centered bubblehead at that!)

It was Caroline Rhea on today and she gave Sarah a trip to South Beach, Miami.(whoopee) I thought it was perfect for someone like Sarah..LOL She didn't seem too thrilled. I am sure Sarah doesn't know it's in Florida.

She's really aloof when asked questions..she doesn't ever show emotions, and never gives real answers. I'm not sure if she's clever or clueless. And did anyone notice that Gina doesn't seem to have as many bites?? She tends to wear longer pants (that khaki outfit) and longer sleeves..maybe if Sarah had been less concerned with trying to flaunt her bod, she wouldn't have all those scars.

When she answers questions.. she reminds me of Will's girlfriend on BB2.. what was her name?... toilet-toothbrush-cleaner?... ah.. oh well.. i think you know who I am talking about... that girl could never answer a question straight either.

Friday, March 22, 2002 - 09:54 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Good point Mindy! I was thinking I would for sure wear long (but lightweight) sleeves and pants to help protect from the sun as well as the bugs... (even though both the sun and the bugs can get thru clothing)

On another post someone said that Gina made the comment that Sarah didn't like the bug repellent they had because it was too greasy. Another reason she probably had so many bites is because when you sit around on your a** all day I assume they would tend to bite you more than if you were actually moving around where they had to catch you.

Black-No-No - Shannon Dragoo was her name (bein' a bitc* was her game) :)

Sorry it was Neleh - here's what it says (copied from another post - CBS video clips Ep. 4)

Neleh on her voting strategy

[Neleh solo interview]

I’m going to vote for Sarah. I think she’s a great girl, really happy, full of energy, but I don’t think that she has what it takes to be out here – she’s given up. Yesterday we went out looking for lobsters, and she just wanted to sit there, she wanted to go home early, cause you know she was getting no-no bites. Half the problem, I mean, we have no-no juice to keep the no-nos off of us and she doesn’t want to put it on cause it feels greasy. I mean, being out here on Survivor, you’re gonna be sick and nasty, and you’re gonna have to work hard, something that maybe you don’t do at home. But you come out here knowing that you’re going to have to work for everything you get, and she just hasn’t done that. She complained about the hike, and when we got here… If it’s just us sitting around, I really enjoy Sarah, but when it comes to do work, I get pretty irritated knowing that we’re working our butts off and she’s reaping the rewards off of our work.

They have a native remedy- something made from coconut oil...they call it no no juice, I think.
