ADMIN: this took me a long time to post, if there is another thread on this, could you roll it together? Thanks

The Early Show -

Started off with the Survivor Round Table - Richard,Tina,Ethan.

Richard said during the show last night he was trying to figure out how to make a device that would slap 5 people at once! It was funny.
He said that whole confrontation at TC and the conversations leading up to it were so ridiculious, of course they were all in an alliance!
Tina and Ethan agreed.
They all agreed Kathy should have gone with S/V no matter how Sean acted during TC. That there must be something with N/P that we are not seeing.

(I was only half awake at this point so feel free to correct me on any points about this)

Next: Sean

He was happy and outgoing and Jane/Bryant seemed to enjoy him.
Jane said he thougt he was going to go all the way.

Sean said he tried to cut a deal with Kathy earlier in the day. He DIDN'T wait until TC.
He felt had no other options than to allign with Vee on the island.
He said his racial comments were mostly made in a humorous way.

Hunter and Gina had sour grapes. He was glad to see Hunter go strategically.
We weren't seeing everything, Hunter, dictatorship?

John: He had no other options than to get rid of him, John is a great guy, though.

The RC: CAr is secondary to praising God thru Christ. But he can't wait to drive it!

Pascal: Being from NY, 9/11 was on his mind. The feast was a great moment for humanity. They couldn't be more opposite. They spoke about two weeks ago.

Neleh: She is a nice person outside of the game, but he needed to expose to the others that she was playing the game on the island.
"ok, your not going to do this all the way to the million"


Bryant pushed the "thing" between P and S
"they" think everyone owns them something comment by P.
S didn't know these comments were being made (behind his back)
but the bond he has w/P is incredible.

People on the street have been nice to him

Bryant asked him if there will ever be a Survivor with TWO black guys, Sean NEVER!!
He would like to see a Survivor with only 2 whites on, rest black, Bryant would too.

Sean did this for his students, blessing from God.

I have really ridden the rollercoaster with Sean all season (as MB intended!) but this morning, I found that I liked and respected him a lot.
You can look in his eyes and see the human being who lives there and when he talks about his mother and his students, I believe him.

He is a finalist for the California Teacher of the Year. Hope he wins.

He's on Rosie today. Let's hope she's nice to him.

He loves kids, she will be nice. I wish she would send his whole class somewhere on a treat somewhere!

OMG, I just caught the last minute of Sean on Rosie! Drat!
She said MB told her yesterday who wins! (this was right after she said she thinks Kathy wins, what does this mean?)

She gave Sean a trip to Jamaica(sp) so he could take his girlfriend, Ingrid?

She thought Kathy was nuts not to try and take Sean to the end because no one on the Jury liked him! (it was funny)

Anyone else see more?

A good interview. Sean is a truly nice guy. I think he has a great attitude towards his kids.
Rosie was nice to him. She talked about how Kathy should have gone with him. (I totally agree)
They talked about Paschal and how he is a judge and a lawyer. They also talked about Vee. Sean mentioned he was proud they got that far...hmmmm I wonder if that means Vee gets voted off? The only one not discussed was Neleh.

Rosie started by telling Sean she thought he was lazy in the beginning. She said he was funny with his "making fun" of the others, ex: Hunter. Sean gave a story about Hunter and a making a wind direction funnel. He said he was a MacGiver type..LOL I loved his imitation of Hunter's voice.
Sean talked about being in a Broadway show. He told the story of auditioning for the musical. He then spoke regarding becomming a teacher. He seems like a very devoted teacher.
I loved the whole interview.

But what about her saying she thinks Kathy wins, and then saying in the next breath that she KNOWS who wins?

I am so anxiety ridden right now...I need puurrrs!

Bryant seems to have more interest on his last day on the Early Show:
First segment with Ethan, Tina and Richard Hatch.

They seem to dismiss the idea that Sean and Vee weren't in alliance.

Tina said they are all playing great. That by now they just want to finish.. Bryant directed a question at TINA and RICHARD just stepped on her and answered.

Ethan said bringing the confrontation out in the open is an issue.

Ethan was thinking about the jury, Tina said she wasn't..

Kathy's choice.. Richard says Kathy should have voted off N or P, Ethan agrees.. Tina thinks maybe Kathy and Vee will hook up. (Tina doesn't like to agree with Richard.. just my observation.. and she likes to look at things from non-obvious angles)

Tina says there has to be something we don't know.

Ethan points out that N and P could have kept Gina and offed Kathy so she may feel moral obligation. Ethan thinks morals do play into the game.. Richard doesn't.. says you have to get away from that. Tina probably agreed with Ethan, from her body language, Richard sort of rolled over her chance to speak.

Tina thought Rob was the best player ever, says Bryant. She agrees, and Rob is gone.

Richard thinks Vee has a shot. Ethan thinks Paschal may still have a shot. Tina, who chose Tammy, now thinks Kathy. Richard says Kathy's been playing the best..

Bryant tried to get all three to agree on Kathy but, though I think they all may lean that way, Richard and Ethan don't want to give up on Vee or Paschal. Tina says Paschal seems awfully weak now; maybe we'll get the all female final.

How would you do with this group?
:
Ethan thinks he'd have been voted off early in this group. He compares himself to Hunterand Gabe. Tina thinks she'd have done alright. She'd probably have allied with Neleh, Paschal, Kathy, the drama of Sean and others wouldn't have drawn her in, she seems to say. Richard says no, not a chance in hell for him, he'd be voted off first (but he's assuming that they would know who he is, so he isn't answering the actual question).

Ah, MsKitty.. My eyes are struggling as well..

I bet Tina would like to push Richard right over in his chair :)

They are giving Sean a hard time.. mention his Dashiki outfit.. Sean gives a power salute.

Says they have to have ratings and he and Rob were shown as bad guys.. The editing is out of your control, but they signed on for it.

Says you have to make noise so he doesn't think he should have been quiet at tribal council.. he's proud, his mom raised him to speak up.

Bryant says he's the LA representative for teacher of the year (didn't say finalist or teacher of year for?? state?)

Sean looked relaxed, said it is a game.

(Now we are getting slitty eyed Dick Gephardt)

Try saying slitty eyed Dick Gephardt 10 times in a row.

A brief shot of Sean and Jane and a bunch of
Pineapples.. and off to commercial

Well he really IS slitty-eyed. Dan Rather who must be twice his age, was on camera and his eyes are wide open in contrast..

I don't like Gephardt. Your description goes right along with his snake-like personality.

Finally.. clips..

Jane introducing.. clip of TC. SEan talking saying he's listening, but not listening..

SNUFF of flame..

Jane: Tell us how you really feel, thought Sean would take it (yesterday she said Kathy...)

Sean thought his case was good enough to convince Kathy.. You should ask Kathy why, he regrets nothing, play wit you heart. Maybe it was past ties to Neleh and Paschal.

He says he said Vecepia and I not because of pact but that was all he could say, she was "my girl".

Says comments about race (his) could have been misinterpreted.. most of his comments were humorous, but you have to say your truth.

Jane says everyone but Rob had bad things to say..

SEan corrects her (good!!.. Jane constantly does this stuff).

He was glad to see Hunter gone, you guys weren't seeing everything.. Sean didn't want to be alpha male, but thought Hunter wasn't listening to him.. he wasn't just some kid out of Harlem in the woods ..

What about another leader? John.. you were singing.

Says John is great guy but it was his only move, God is good (he makes it sound like HE made that decision by himself??)

He only saw a couple of episodes before he went.. never been in the ocean.

The car.. he hasn't seen it yet.. The car is secondary to feeling of praising god, wanted to show that if you put your faith in god, all things are possible through Christ (uh.. ok..)

You and P had it out at TC but you had some nice moments. Sean.. being from NY, 9/11 was on his mind.. you can't get more opposite than P and myself, but take away the game we need each other.. and smuggle food out. Jane brings up Neleh bringing back the used mint.

(Jane seems to be the queen of snarky comments for Survivor as well as TAR)

Snort.. Gephardt is a bit reptilian.. I was thinking he'd fit in on Star Trek without needing makeup.

When Sean corrected Jane about others making nasty comments about Sean.. he mentioned Gina and Hunter, which is what I remember too.

Yea Sea, ~sour grapes~ is what is said, if I'm not mistaken.

I liked Hunter and Gina! Rats! They better be on the "special" Survivor that MB is putting together.

Bryant Gumbel gives me a pain in the rear! I won't miss him at all (not that I watch the Early Show any time they aren't interviewing Survivor or TAR people anyway).

Sean seems like a really nice guy. I, too, went back and forth on liking/disliking him during the show. After Boston Rob left, I liked him a lot better. :)

Back!

The Disneyland comments about Neleh.. (clip)

Now Bryant and the weatherguy have joined Jane and Sean.. who says he feels great, played best game he could play.

What was "up" with Neleh.

He loved Neleh outside the game, but she was his adversary in the game.. "not gonna do this all the way to the million" you have to pick sides.

He spoke with Paschal a week or two ago. Paschals a judge/prosecutor.. and Sean's opinionated it was classic confrontation.
(no one seems to have noticed that Kathy did a good job of cutting through the smokescreen or Jeff Probst's part in the TC discussion).

BRYANT brings up the race issue, all huffy, says pretty racist comment.. etc. Sean says he wouldn't call Paschal racist.

(I'm happy to see that Sean isn't one of the "bitter" ex-survivors. He was as laid back as I thought he'd be.)

The "they feel they owe us" comment .. Sean says you'll have to ask Paschal.

People are incredible.. people on street giving him a lot of love, he has no malice in his heart.

Says people (interviewers) asking about race card.

But then says all he had to play were the king of clubs and the king of spades (I suppose that makes sense to someone.. I actually thought he might have as much affinity to hearts and diamonds).

Wanted people to say here's a brother with cornrows who looks like me. (Young or poor kids.

Bryant says Sean has the greatest abs on Survivor.. Sean uses the John line that it is a four-pack now :) (somehow I doubt it, he looks pretty firm under that dashiki).

Sean says his students better not be slacking off while he's on his press tour :)


====

Now must grit my teeth for Rosie in 90 min.

More to come no Bryant front.. think I'll pass on that.
