Ok..so I’m an ep behind. This is from the first one. The second one I will do this weekend.

Neleh now 22, single from Layton, UT. Brought scriptures as her luxury item. She’s an aquarius/pisces (cusp)..and so far seems to get along very well with her fellow teammates.

On the ship she was sporting a white/dark blue sleeved t-shirt khaki shorts, khaki-aussie type hat, and had her team bandana wrapped around her right wrist. She was sitting with Tammy and Gabe, next to Sean and Zoe.

On the inflatable boat, trying to get to shore, Neleh was in the water pushing (kicking) the boat along with Paschel. Later, Neleh and Paschel got into the boat while the others continued to paddle.

On the beach Neleh helped pull the boat in and is shown hugging Paschal, then hugging Kathy.

Before they open the crate they all put their hands on top of each others..first was Gabe, then Zoe, Neleh, Kathy, Robert, Tammy, then John..no sign of Paschal. (the blue bandana is now on her head)

After opening the crate and seeing no food, we see an interview with Neleh: “I had no idea it would be like this here, but I mean, we’re here and we know we have to survive, and it’s tough, and you know, we do whatever we can”. (note: every season they always say..I had no idea…harder than I thought…how many seasons does this show have to air before people realize that it REALLY IS hard??)..anyway, then Neleh goes on to describe contents of crate. –she’s shown holding up mag. glass shouting WOOOOO!

After, we see Kathy bending over trying to make fire, they show close-ups of the doubtful/frustrated faces of Paschal, Neleh, and Robert (individually and in that order).

John, Tammy, and Neleh are trying to start fire with sticks. Kathy says- “keep rotating”. Knowing looks pass between the three and Neleh mumbles “we’ve been rotating”…no fire, close up of Neleh disappointed.

Next morning..we see Gabe sitting on the beach watching the sunrise, the next shot is of Neleh in the water washing something. Next we see Kathy looking at water map and hear Neleh ask if anyone has water left..we see her shaking the coconuts looking for water.
Neleh is wearing a red tank top, baggy black shorts, with her rag on her head. She also often wears a black hemp-like necklace with crème colored beads.

In some of her interviews she has her hair down, a yellow tank top, black shorts (actually more like clam diggers).

An argument breaks out over the water..Kathy and John arguing over how much time has been spent on fire, as Tammy and Neleh are also involved in fight. In the end, Zoe, John, Tammy, and Neleh get fire started.

At the tree mailbox, Neleh suggests they all open together. Later at the IC most of the group stand with there arms around each other in order: Gabe, Tammy, Neleh, Zoe, Paschal, and last Kathy. Robert and and John stand in back. Neleh is wearing her red tank top, khaki shorts with bandana wrapped around head.

During the IC challenge she is in the back of the boat then later in the front….

Anyway, that’s about it, I’m not sure what this says other than Neleh seems to get on well with the group. Like the others, she seemed annoyed with Kathy but other than that she is maintaing a good relationship to her castmates. Don’t see much spoiler stuff yet, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see her join forces with Tammy, Gabe, and maybe Robert?? We shall see!

Damn spoilier boards!! Foiled by Neleh!! I changed my vote on my Yahoo S4 pick 'em game from Tricia to Kathy. My gut said Tricia..I never trust my gut, which I should. I kept 25 points on Mama though, Hmph! Neleh wasn't suppose to beat Rob! Having said that...great job Neleh!!

Mindy--thanks for the great summary. With so little being shown of Rotu--and most of thta being John and Kathy (witha little gabe thrown in), it seems pretty hard to get a handle on how she will do with things.

I agree that she seems to be getting along best with Gabe. I look forward to seeing more of her, so we canm figure out how she will fit in. I also agree that she seems to hold getting along with others in high priority.

Thanks!
Well, I have a new summary of her, it's nothing exciting. Although we see her with John alot. I have a migrane today and can't bare typing it all. Maybe later today or tomorrow.

stay tuned! LOL!

Neleh and Gabe are closest in age and naturally gravitate to each other. They are both cuties and seem very likable, too, so why not? I think Neleh is getting along with everyone and making them laugh.

Ok, so finally my Neleh summary for ep. 2.

Opening scene- night fall..we see a crab crawling on the beach with a voice over of Neleh as we cut to a shot her of sitting in between John and Paschal, she suggests they all line up and message each other. We see John message Neleh as Neleh messages Paschal?? (can see who it is). Neleh says they have to promise to do this every night.

Next we hear a voice over of Gabe talking about what a great tribe they are as we see a shot of Neleh sitting with Gabe and John. She gives John’s arm a squeeze.

Neleh sleeps next to Gabe in the ‘love shack’.

Next we see an interview with her. She’s talking about how Robert has been sick the past couple of days so he hasn’t been able to help out much. (she’s wearing blue long sleeve shirt, black hemp necklace, hair in cute piggy tail knots).

Next we see shots of: Gabe and Neleh working on a project of some sort (wearing yellow tank, black long shorts and aussie hat), John and Neleh attempting to catch shrimp, John and Neleh working on pig trap-once they get the trap working they hug. (in this shot she’s wearing the red tank top..I think this is from a different day.)

After Kathy’s big food find we see a shot of Neleh cracking a mussel open, explaining how to pull all the yucky stuff off. (she’s back in the yellow tank ). Next we see the Rotu tribe eating mussels, Neleh gags a bit on her’s commenting on it’s sliminess (nice foreshadow to gross food challenge..showing us her lack of tolerance for gross slimey stuff).

As Kathy pats herself on the back making comments like, “Good thing those rocks got turned over”, and “you just gotta think outside the box” (fishing for gratitude), we see the other tribe members looking annoyed. Shot of Neleh shaking her head in a negative manner. (you can just read her thoughts: Whatever Kathy, shut up already).

Next we see John and Kathy taking about catching a pig…Neleh really wants bacon.

The in scene where Gabe confronts Kathy (Kathy presenting food in exchange for shelter), John and Neleh are the only two missing from this scene.

As they build the shelter the whole tribe looks very chummy..Neleh gives Paschal a big hug as the flag is put up.

At LC the tribe stands with arms around each other again, Neleh is in between Gabe and Tammy.

At IC, we all know poor Neleh had to choke down more than her fair share of yuck, there are several moments where she looks like she going to lose it. MB obviously wants us to think she’s going to lose..we clearly see more shots of her gagging than Rob. But Neleh pulls is off and wins immunity for her tribe.

Ok, no great revelations here once again. We just aren’t seeing enough of this tribe, and because they haven’t had to face TC they have been able to remain close as a tribe. I think unless Neleh gets sick, she is certain to make the merge. There is an interview with her in the up coming previews about how her tribe mates call her Sweetpea. I think she is clearly close to most of the members of the tribe. Particularly, Gabe, Tammy, John, and Paschal..or at least that’s who we see her with the most. It will be interesting to see who forms an alliance in this group. Neleh is clearly well liked and seems to be a very useful member of the tribe..she even won the IC. I think she’ll be around awhile.

I saw a clip where she says that everyone in her tribe calls her "sweet pea".

That is either really cute or really yuck!

Great summary! It seems that Neleh could be in the group with Gabe, Tammy, Robert and Paschal- or maybe she John and Zoe have bonded. They were all working on the pig trap. We really need to see more of this tribe to figure out the real alliances. :)

I don't know about Robert, but I'm thinking Gabe, Neleh, Tammy, Pacshal, and John.

Ok, here's my summary for ep.3. There's lots of love in Rotu and Neleh really likes Paschal and doesn't think she could ever vote him off. Period, the end. Not much to work with and I'd rather not watch this episode again...

Okay...am I the only one who thinks her name is really Helen...but she changed it around to make herself more interesting?

Fruitbat

Thursday, March 14, 2002 - 10:52 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Hmmmmmmm curious. Since she is so young it would put her parents in a generation that would not be inclined to name their child Helen. I am not ruling this out, however!

Maybe it was her mother who reversed the spelling and it was a family name!

Neleh Dennis was born in Heber City, Utah, and is one of eight siblings (five brothers, Tom, John, Devin, Nathan and Landon, and two sisters, McKenna and Robyn). She was named after her maternal grandmother, Helen. Same name, only spelled backwards. Dennis has lived in California, Idaho, and most recently, Layton, Utah. She graduated from Layton High School in 1998.

Neleh's face during that weaving challenge has become one of my Survivor visual memories. I can't figure out if they were throwing the challenge to boot Sarah, or if they were so confused by Kathy's incoherrent barking of orders. Whatever it was, that look was a hoot!

Sorry I haven't posted a new summary, I actually have it written out but haven't had a chance to type it up...and the fact that there is no spoiling material in it whatsoever, I'm not sure it's worth it. The only thing I saw was a confirmation of the bond between her Paschal....not much to work with. Oh well....

Still nothing..boy did I pick a dull person to watch or what!? LOL. I'm glad the new moos won the challenges and am thinking that we will see a 4-team alliance if they all make it to merge. That's really it..has anyone else picked up on any super spoiler info on Neleh?? Hopefully there will be more of a storyline around this girl post-merge. I feel very confident that she will make it that far.

From the Standard Examiner:

Utah 'Survivor' gaining fan base

Thr, Apr 4, 2002

By NANCY VAN VALKENBURG
Standard-Examiner staff


Utah "Survivor" Neleh Dennis checks the Internet nearly every day to see what"s new with her.

Seems the Layton student, 22, and a competitor on "Survivor: Marquesas" (7 p.m. Thursdays, KUTV Channel 2), is the topic of nearly a dozen Web pages and a growing number of chat sites.

"She never contacts them because she doesn"t want to expose any details of the game," said John Dennis, father of Neleh, who is barred from giving interviews. "She does get into all of them and check them, almost on a daily basis, to find out what people are saying."

The Neleh news and reviews are remarkably positive, her father said.

"Ninety-nine percent is great," Dennis said. "I"ve seen a few negative comments, but my goodness, they were minor things. I think there was one comment about her being Molly Mormon, and there was one comment that somebody thought her nose was different - but right after that, there were a bunch of responses that said it was "different, but cute." "

Some sites seem to specialize in photos, gleaned from CBS sources or shot directly from television images (with grainy effect). A few sites contain images from Neleh"s audition video, which can be viewed in full on www.cbs.com.

Other sites focus on collected facts on Neleh"s background and interests: She was a member of her high school drill team; she enjoys cosmetology and plans to study psychology; her dog is named Bandit; she enjoys junk food and reading the obituaries.

One fan site, www.survivorneleh.com, offers eight selections of computer wallpaper so fervent fans can see Neleh peeking out from behind their desktop icons.

There"s Neleh news on www.cbs.com, but also on www.neleh.com, www.nelehdennis.com, and www.survivorfoxes.com/neleh.

"She"s got a fan base," Dennis said. "That just blows her away!"

Not that his daughter needs all of the attention.

"Neleh is out there to have fun," Dennis said. "She enjoyed the experience immensely. Even if she did get voted off this episode or next, she would feel bad, but she"d be OK with it. I don"t know when she will be voted off, of course, since she cannot talk about it."

As of this morning, Neleh is one of 11 remaining players. Five have been voted off the island in previous weeks.

If Dennis were a betting man, and he"s not, he would bet that Neleh makes it to at least the final six, he said.

"I guess I"ll feel silly if she is voted off the next episode (tonight), but I really don"t think she will be," he said. "My gut tells me she has staying power."

Dennis said he is caught up in the show"s intrigue and finds himself shocked at the negative behavior of contestants Rob and Sean. He predicts that unless the Rotu tribe wins the immunity challenge, the tribe will dump Rob or Sean with tonight"s vote.

If Neleh"s current tribe, the Maraamu, loses the immunity challenge, one of the four members must go.

"I don"t know who they would vote out," Dennis said. "And I know Neleh would hate to vote against any of them."

Dennis said he is proud that Neleh is being true to her religious upbringing, and that she works hard and adds an element of fun to the competition.

"Did you see that little hat Paschal wore last week during one of the challenges?" he said. For a challenge that involved attracting the attention of a passing boat, the Maraamu tribe donned makeshift costumes that seemed to be fashioned from squares of thin, white Styrofoam sheeting.

"It was Neleh who came up with the idea of the costumes, and, oh my goodness, didn"t Paschal look like a little pilgrim? Those costumes were fun, but they were also part of the reason the tribe won that challenge."
