I don't have an opinion on all of them yet,

Kathy, She is probably a nice person but if she whistled for me like I was a dog it would get on my last nerve pretty quickly. And she wonders why no one thanks her for her contributions... she is so busy tooting her own horn the rest don't need to. She needs to learn to get along and go with the flow of the group. Things may need to get done but let it be a group decision.

Sean, I agree with some others that he is being portrayed as the "angry young black man" and that's who I think he is. I haven't heard anyone else mention the fact that he is black but he constantly talks about it. He is a strong physical force and I wish he would use it to help his tribe instead of worrying that he is kissing the other alpha males butt.

Hunter, nice guy, lowkey, has a way of getting people to do it his way without being abrasive. I think he'll go far if he can split up the Sean, Sarah, Vecepia, Rob alliance. Otherwise, he may be toast down the road when they don't need his strength.

Gina, Seems nice but there is something about her I'm not sure about. I'll have to keep watching her.

Rob, Fun, young, nice guy. Maybe not the brightest bulb on the tree but seems to be able to get along with everyone. His feelings for Sara are the thing that will hurt him if he doesn't keep it in perspective. And I think he is.

Vecepia, I like her so far. Hope she can distance herself from Sean though.

Sara, Young, immature, is there for the fun and adventure, so I hope she gets that cause she ain't getting the Million Bucks!

Haven't really seen enough of the other tribe but I like Zoe so far. She seems cool and confident and the peacemaker. She also looks like someone I know but I can't figure out who?

Resortgirl, I agree with your observations.

C1mag, Clarence was not edited to be lazy, he worked very hard. He was edited to be hungry. Also, although Gabe was the one who said the thing about sitting around and doing nothing, the only confirmed gay guy is John, the nurse. There has been speculation based on his interests (figure skating, ballroom dancing, singing) that Gabe is also gay, but we haven't seen that yet. I agree with you that Rotu bores me silly. We've seen wanna-be-Mike-Skupin-I-am-the-food-provider John, and Gabe, who on many challenges (including his opening credit shot) looks like a deer in the headlights. The other two guys, Pascal and Robert, could be non-existent for all I know. There is loudmouth bossy Kathy (think Diane all over again even down to the blonde hair). Who are the other women? Marammuu is much more interesting and I like the people there much better.

Fruitbat, yeah as I said in the superspoiling thread, Sarah was completely correct with everything about the palm leaves. But no one wanted to listen to her. Now unlike Kathy's barking orders, we didn't see Sarah supposedly telling them all that 3 days ago, so I don't think it's fully fair to say that she whined about it for three days. But the exchange we saw, sure she might not have said it in the way the others wanted. I sympathized with her frustrations. Hunter has clearly taken charge of the entire tribe and it seems apparent to me that they do whatever Hunter wants and however he wants it. Even Patricia deferred to him. And it's difficult for Sarah to voice her opinion considering that some of them dislike her already.

Fruitbat, I agree with you re Gina. I disliked Gina last night, probably because I actually like Sarah. She does seem snide. And I think she dislikes Sarah so much for her body (whoever said that she wasn't jealous is IMO wrong) that Sarah can do nothing right in her eyes. Especially because she is lovestruck for Hunter and Hunter doesn't like her. Gina reminds me a little of the awful "I kissed two guys" Lisa from Love Cruise. She is also the Amber to Hunter's Jerri. Whatever Hunter does, she will do. I thought it was funny that they all talked about how Rob and Sarah are together when it's obvious that she is always trying to be near Hunter.

Resortgirl, yes, if Kathy whistled like that I'd probably ignore her as well. When she did it the second time, I think a few of them had a "what now?!" expression. And Kathy dear, if we didn't think you were a bizatch before, telling America that you're upset you didn't get any credit for the clams certainly sealed your fate.

Sarah is at least honest about her intentions of being there and for some reason can't bring herself to be fake. She is a nice person I think. She knows she has to work, Rob told her so, and I am hoping we see her pick it up a little next week. And re the preview, I'd probably be a little defensive too. It seems that Hunter's way is the only way and I don't see why if Sarah and Sean don't like it they don't get together and tell him. Vecepia seems willing to stick with Sean for now and of course Rob is with Sarah.

LOL about Zoe, I swear we did not even see her speak last night.

John annoys the living $hit out of me. I hated Richard Hatch and Michael Skupin to their very core. Couldn't stand the "oh no, I am not bringing in all the food" and "I want to wear the knife to let everyone know I am the provider" attitude. John wants to be them. I hate his voice, his look, everything about him. Sorry. He is not natural in dealing with the others. Everything is a strategic move to him. When he made Kathy cry about the fire and then said he was going to build the fire to temper his outburst, and then told us that's why he did it, it was Mike Skupin all over again.

I really don't think last night there was a Rob, Sarah, Vecepia and Sean alliance, I think it just happened that way and Sean took advantage of the fact he knew R and S were voting Patricia to get rid of someone he didn't like. But if they stick together, Gina is toast.

Just saw Patricia on the Early Show. She seems to think that she was just "being herself" with her annoying mothering. She said "I'm not an actress!" I don't think you need to put on an act, but you certainly can tone things down a notch. I wouldn't act in church like I do at a party with friends. But I'm still being "myself" She didn't need to mother a bunch of adults. JMHO!

Crazy, I agree that Sara is probably a nice person. I did get irritated last night when she would try to give her opinion about the roof on their "hut" and they ignored her. But I suppose that the editing may have showed Gina rolling her eyes and it wasn't related to what Sara was saying or doing. Ya never know with Survivor. I think Sara's motivation for being there is different then some of the others. She may want the exposure for acting or modeling. She certainly exposes herself...lol!

Gabe is not gay. Just because someone has interest in ballet or singing doesn't make them gay. He's just a well-rounded, intellectual individual (read his bio if you haven't). I like him and think he will do very well in this game!

John, the registered nurse is the token gay guy.

I take it back about Sean. He's starting to get on my nerves. Being an angry young black man spurs you to action... not just bitchin. I want to see his alpha qualities. I want him to take the lead in some area...any area. It really got to me to see him asked so very defferentially to get water!! Why couldn't he know that water was needed? I guess I'm just ticked at him because he sounded so sincere and sure of himself and now he seems like a loud-mouth do nothing. His quiet introspection comes off as an opportunity to be lazy. I hope that he and Vecepia can remain friendly without him dragging her down. She's going to have to be careful.
I think the tribe missed another chance to get rid of sarah. She's a great straw boss but doesn't seem to do any work. She had lots of suggestions, but she didn't make any effort to implement them.

I think it was too soon to let Patricia go. She was a steady contributor. If her "momship" was a problem, why didn't some kind soul just tell her to knock it off?

Re Patricia, I think the "mom" and the nagging are part of her personality. I have told my mother MANY MANY times that I am tired of her nagging but yet she continues to do it anyways and often doesn't even realize it. It's just as Hunter said, she's a mom and she always will be, and nagging is part of the territory. I have been working on my mom to be less nagging for years with little postitive result. It's very difficult to change your entire personality over the course of six short days, I would think.

Sorry I didn't reply sooner Twiggy, I just saw your question. No I'm not in FL anymore, but I was born in St. Pete and raised in Manatee County. I live in Indiana now (for about 5 years). I know, some people think I'm a lunatic for moving up here, but being the daughter of a commercial fisherman who lived on or near the beach her whole life, kinda makes you crave the change of seasons and SNOW!!!

I love where I live now, but can always look back to those times of camping out at Caya Costa! It is a great place to remember!!

There don't seem to be any alliances yet, just people dividing to form couples. This could get very interesting. On Maraamu, Rob already voted for Patricia just to keep Sarah around. Hunter and Gina voted alike, trying to get the Rob/Sarah couple divided and get Rob to align. Even though Vee and Sean are not a true couple they have paired off. From what I could see on the Rotu tribe, Gabe and Neleh are often hugging and sleep next to each other, Zoe was cuddling with Robert, John had his head in Tammy's lap, and the only two left were Paschal who seems to be hugging and kissing all the ladies, and Kathy who doesn't want to get close to anybody.
