Ted is my favorite because he doesn't get on my nerves like the rest of them. There is something about him that I just like. A real close second is Helen, although she was one of my least favorites at first, she seems to know what is going on with Brian.

Brian is my least favorite. I can't get past the porn thing and everytime I look at him I see a big slimeball. He is always making comments about women and although I thought it was sort of tongue in cheek at first, he just does it too much, for it not to be his real feelings. I just can't help but put the porn and comments together and get a man that I wouldn't want to know.

I agree about Brian and the porn thing. It's all fine and dandy to laugh about it and say, "You go, Brian!" but in real life, if I met a porn actor, well, my reaction would be a bit different.

I don't really have someone I love to hate. Brian has started to irritate me and Clay has irritated me for awhile now. I jumped on the anti-Penny bandwagon for a couple of episodes, but had an inexplicable attitude adjustment. She is trying to win a million dollars. In Survivor, the end truly justifies the means. Whatever works for her, more power to her if she takes home the money! Right now I would rather see Penny win than Brian or Clay.

My favorite is Jan. The whole underdog thing, for one, got me rooting for her. People started picking on her for things that I thought were so trivial, like her how she wore her hair or how much older she looked than her age. It got my sympathy juices flowing! For another, I work in public education and so do a lot of people in my family and most people that I meet that work in elementary education have hearts of gold. She certainly seems to. I don't know many people that would bury a dead bat or a chicken head and I think that shows an unusually soft heart that I identify with. I also like Ted a great deal. I would love to see a Jan/Ted finale.

The one person that drives me batty (sorry Hermione... and I thought you were staying away - glad to see you changed your mind!!!) is Ted... He just strikes me as a big dolt. The things that he says, and how he lost the boat just had me throwing in the towel for him. I still don't know how he got away with that. Other than that, Brian does rub me the wrong way sometimes but not always - he's shrewd & I can respect that. Jan sometimes drives me batty just because she's SO emotional. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, because I'm a very emotional person, but in this type of game, that's one thing that you should keep close to yourself, and the pet cemetary is just a little over the top... JMO though... Right now, I would love to see a Helen/Penny finale...

Why??? They are both playing this game very shrewdly - it was Penny that got Jake to keep her around instead of Erin, and I'm sure it's going to be Penny that lasts longer than Jake, and quite possibly most of the Chuay's...

I tried to stay away, but the gravity of the TVCH black hole sucked me back in. I'm starting to feel major guilt pangs at work for how much I slip away and lurk and post instead of working and my house is a shambles.... Oh well! What can you do?

I think Penny is playing a good game too. I respect her ability to manipulate people, especially the SJs. It remains to be seen if she can manipulate the CGs just as well. She has to some extent because they obviously do not see her as a threat, but the next two episodes will be crucial for her.

Herm - I don't know you very well, but always like to read your posts - please don't stay away. Besides the last Bachelor show is tomorrow and you gotta talk about that!

I don't like Brian, for exactly the same reasons that LLKool cited. Clay doesn't bother me, but it is fun to laugh at him. Seems like he's got a bad case of that Napoleonic syndrome goin on. I do like Jan a lot. She reminds me of one of my closest friends, except I think she's a little daffier and that's ok. I don't know why, but I don't like Helen; well maybe it's because she comes across with a know-it-all demeanor.

I like Jake - it seems like he tried to be a good Pappa Smurf to all those young hard-bodies that he chose and that backfired in his face. He's working real hard to stay alive now.

Sorry to not just pick one to love and one to hate - the two that I don't really have opinions for (Ted and Penny) will probably make it to F2!

I love Clay. He's smart but acts dumb. His eye rolls and comments crack me up every week. For entertainment value, Clay is head & shoulders above anyone else. I used to love Jake and maybe I still do, he just comes across as so desparate and beaten right now that some of the glow has worn off. I also like Brian, just because you can see him playing the game and he's doing a pretty good job. Helen, Jan & Ted may also be playing just as hard but they've either been less forthcoming with us in their clips or MB has chosen not to show us informative clips that they've done. Penny is really the only one that rubs me the wrong way. I don't know what it is about her that bothers me but for so long she was just edited as boring and now she comes across as a big butt kisser and she's not subtle enough for me when she's doing that kissing.

Ark, I couldn't have said it better myself. I just can't wait to see what comes out of Clay's mouth each week! He is by far the most entertaining person on the island and that's why I watch Survivor. I find the others rather boring or it may just be the editing right now. Penny may be playing the game (or think she is) but she's on the losing side and needs to make a switch soon to survive. Maybe then I'll see enough to either love or hate her.

I love the monkey! I really wished that I had some strong feelings for SV people, but I do not this season. I miss that, too. No favorites to cheer on! All the interesting characters have already left. I do not think we have had any surprises this season at TC's either.

The only one I like right now is Jan. She's such a sweetheart, of course that may be her downfall. I don't like Penny (don't like suck ups), and Brian reminds me of a slimy used car salesman (oh, wait ... he is a used car salesman). LOL

There isn't anyone left that I really like or dislike, I don't care anymore who wins or loses.

The person I liked the best was Robb (with 2 b's), and he got the boot.

The person I dispised the most Shi-ann also got the boot so my least favorite is gone too.

I have no true favorite.

I don't like Clay or Brian.

I have no feelings for Jake.

Ted bugged me in the beginning...

Helen is ok and Jan is ok. I guess they could be my final two.

I liked Penny at first, but don't really want her to win.

I keep coming back to the monkey..

OMG Jagger, my favorite was Robb too and I hated ShiAnn.I thought I was the only one. Anyone that calls herself she devil and thinks it's cool is just smack. I was so glad she was booted. They needed Robb for the contests but they let him go. I'm glad Penny is gone too.

That's the problem with this years show... and I don't mean to 'come here and diss' a show others are watching - It's one of my #1 pet peeves when someone goes to some msg board and disses their show.. are they THAT BORED? Gimme a break.

But I'm just talking to my fellow TVCH people not going to some other surivor board and dissing Survivor ok?

I just think that one of the biggest reasons I'm disappointed in this years show is there's nobody I really hate... lol.

Most year's there is someone I totally can't stand - and are desperate to see them voted out...and that's one of the biggest reasons that I watch the show... in addition to their usually being one or two I really really want to win and that's the 2nd reason I watch.

This year - after Ghandie left - there's nobody I totally totally dislike... and nobody I totally want to win... makes it really tough to enjoy the show. I doun't care which of these guys wins..and I don't care who gets voted out. This sucks.

I just don't care they are all basically not worthy of even being there - none of them entertain me - and I suppose that's the directors fault? I don't know. Guess I still wish Ghandi was there - at least then I had a reason to watch - to see her voted out.

I'm not dissing the show - I absolutely loved Survivor the first few years. I just think this years cast is like watching paint dry on a very foggy day from a mile away.

Any interest or respect I had for these fols was lost the show they whined about lack of food after getting taught for 24 hours all the possible edible foods on the island. Entire tribes of people sustained themselves for centuries on those same food - and these folks act like they are starving? Cut me some slack - when your eating half a cup of rice and your hair is falling out - then whine. None of these people deserve the title "Survivor" in my opinion - it'll be the lessor of 10 evils.. and none are evil enough to make me HAVE to watch to see them voted out sigh.

I want our old surivor back - with a few really bad guys that I watched to see their butts booted - and a few awesome peeps that I watched in hopes that they'd win.

I'm planning to tape the first three episodes next year and not watch till the first 3 are done - watch them all one night and IF I'm still interested then taking it from there.

The production co needs to understand one thing - if we wanted to listen to people starving we'd watch the telethons... not a Entertainment show.

I could care less about what these folks have to eat - next year give them endless food and lets get to know the PEOPLE sheesh.

<end rant>

I used to love Brian (his porn experience didn't really bother me...I generally don't like or dislike reality show contestants based on stuff unrelated to the game), but that's kind of waning. I don't mind arrogance too much, but *unjustified* arrogance (which Brian seems to be displaying - I don't think he's playing the game nearly as well as he thinks) bugs me. He might end up being one of those characters I love to hate, though, since he's still entertaining at this point. Same goes for Clay, although I'm ready for him to go within the next few episodes.

I really like Ted right now. He's naive in some respects, but he also seems kind and loyal. Jake also seems likable, although I'm ready for someone new to be the "star" of the show next week...Jake overexposure lately, IMO. :)

Don't really have strong feelings one way or the other for Helen or Jan. I guess I'm leaning a little more towards liking them, but we don't see a whole lot of them.

I Loved Penny, but she's gone.

Now, I don't know. Jake's a snake, Jan's a weakling, & the rest are just there...if I had to root for one person now it would have to be Ted...he's genuine, he's strong, and he's true...GO TED!!

Whit4you, your so right, this years cast is BORING. It seems that no one is there to like or dislike so much that it keeps you watching...not that I'm not watching...but look who's left.

Helen - Homemaker: Call Martha Stewart and share receipes.

Jan - Weeping Drunk: I know they have pushed that issue...although she's nice to everyone it's time for her to say something about SOMEONE...ANYONE

Brian - Nice to look at but really not very interesting after the first week or so(porn is a none issue accept to the ppl posting on the boards), not very smart when it comes to knowing when to lose RC's...the elephant RC was for the food I'm sure...but he knew how his wife was why take the chance with winning that one?

Jake - Just never could get it togeather with SJ...when he saw them falling apart WHY didn't he just stand up and say you all are going to blow this...No he wanted to stay under the radar for the most part and now he has no chance because he's the only one left.

Clay - THE WEASLE -- I suppose the most entertaining of the group left...but he just gives me the creeps and I'm not sure why the woman there don't feel that way...

Ted - the most loyal of the group ... he has never once turned on Brian he's gone to him with every piece of information he's obtained...I don't think that's hurt him either I think that made him stronger a reason for Brian to make sure he stays around (it will be the down fall of Brian I think in the next few weeks)...BUT I think Ted isn't the follower he's been portrayed as...tonight when he called Penny the Trogan Horse I was "OK, TED...finally someone has taken the rose colored glasses off!!" Watch Out Clay you numbers up next week with Ted I think.

So I guess I'll root for Ted, although I don't think he can win...come to think of it I don't think anyone of this group can win...
