Jeep, your "soap box" has much merit, and I doubt that you will be blasted. If you are, I would vehemently object!

Jagger, you said you don't like Shi Ann because she acts like she's better than everyone else. Judging from the opinions of the people on this board, she's right! Certainly compared to Robb and Erin.

French pronunciation of Shi Ann is like in "chienne" (last e is silent) meaning female dog...not very flattering.... this referring to Robb who purposely mispronounces her name.. still better than "chienne".
Anyway, these two are more entertaining than the rest...but lookout Robb is taking on Ken next..
Shi Ann seems closer to the older man...good strategy since he's well liked..

I don't knwo Car--it's possible Erin agrees with Robb, but thinks it's better strategically to vote with "the gruop". It's also possible she was playing him. Right now, at least for me, MB isn't showing us the right footage to allow us to know for sure.

Of course that is by design, to keep us off balance, just like he does to the Survivors. And he's pretty good at it.

Shii Ann realized, deeply it seemed, that she's not white. Its not that big a deal but I've noticed that with some Asian women. That she would have that epiphany so publicly is scary.

I agree it is possible Lance, but in Jed's interview, he says that Erin, Penny and Ken said they were voting Shii, and they then voted him.

In Steph's interview, she said the "group" told her that they voted Jed because he was an individual Immunity threat (yeah, so vote him off 4 episodes before that is an issue).

I think the group is telling the others whatever they think they want to hear, just to keep things peaceful then systematically voting them off. The slackers are just not figuring it out.

I am still not sure where Shii fits tho...we really have not heard Ken/Penny comment much about her..Jake is clearly sympathetic with her, and Erin could be playing Robb just to keep him quiet. The still need his physical strength for the challenges and work around camp...he is very active and participates...where Jed did not do much to help.

I agree we have not seen enough footage to know for sure. If I had to guess, if Sook goes to TC, it will be Robb, then Shii to go next, or vice versa...sounds like Robb and Ken get into it and that may do ol dude right in!

i think robb is loud and insulting to shii ann PERHAPS because he feels 'inferior' to shii ann with her cal berkeley degree and her new york city job...while he is a puffed-up-chest-pierced bartender. (do we seem to get a lot of bartenders on reality shows, or what?!)
i saw erin's tongue piercing for the first time last night. a big turn-off for me! it always looks like a raisin someone needs to swallow! lol

I came in here to defend Shi Ann in case it was needed, but thankfully it doesn't seem to be! I don't think she's realised she's not white for the first time, just she'd forgotten how different she was culturally. It happens to me all the time (and I'm just from Europe), when I'm with friends and people who know me I forget I'm different, but I meet some new people and all of a sudden I feel like I'm from Mars. It must be far worse for Shi Ann, whose home culture is so different.

It made me laugh though, last year they were peeing on each other and this year they're disgusted because someone eats with their fingers! Makes you wonder if they realise they're on a survival show.

Robb is a very strong personality, so strong that everyone placates him to avoid his anger and bounce. I agree that all who seem alligned are only cowed.

He is a bully and all who appear to agree are doing it out of a need to survive and duck the inevitable wrath that would come their way if they did not succumb.

He is next should the IC be lost. I honestly think they like him too, but he is a loose cannon and under these circumstances just too difficult to have around.

His strength is not that important now. The merge looms near and they can lose two more if need be.

I think the strength in that team is with Jake, Ken and Shi Anne and they have their eyes focused on the merge.

To over-dramatize and paraphrase Churchill: she's a riddle , wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. I just don't get a sense of her . She's an Oriental mystery to me and very appealing.

hmmmmmmm let me help you here. She is a bright, controlling, know it all who eats all parts of a chicken when starving. :) I like her.

I have liked Shii Ann from the first and have not understood the shunning from her tribe.

As the the chicken eating....remember what Richard Proyor said about his aunt....she could suck a neck bone so clean that even the dog wouldn't sniff it.

Robb is what my grandma called "try'in to be funny and don't know how"

Sally! LOL!

Wise......I get her. She is strong, bright, opinionated and puts herself out there. When you do that you tend to get criticized. People pleasers get warm receptions and everyone loves you but they suffer more inner strife. Diffenent ways of being is all. Some fall in step with eachother and others do not. It is all in how we are hardwired.

I like her I personaly cant eat those parts But have a lot of friends that do and one girlfriend does even suck the marrow out of the bones (yuck) but she likes it.

I chew bones and eat marrow. I twice made marrow dumplings from a Nero Wold recipie. Fabulous beyond belief. Very time comsuming but worth it.

Fruitbat: would you please stop the hardwired and chew bones allusions. I'm confused enough as it is without this poor middle age guy getting totally discombombulated by this stuffff.

How pitiful is this? My grandfather and I shared a marrow filled bone when I was little. We bonded over it since we were the only ones who wanted to try it. How's that for a warm fuzzy?
I was disappointed that no one as brave enough to change tribes. I guess they will see that too when they see the show.
Shii Ann doesn't laugh at Robb's jokes. That may be why he is so hostile.

I think Shii Ann has problems with Robb and perhaps the other females. I don't think she has a problem with Jake or Ken.

Penny and Erin have a watchfull eye on her.

Robb does not eat red meat and I wonder how Shii Ann should feel about putting Robbs foot in their pot.

Robb has only himself to blame for not realizing he has been set up to remain until the merge. Nothing more.

Wise, ok. Shi Anne = good. Robb = bad.

Or Shi Anne goodish and Robb goodish too but badish as well. And Shi Anne is baddish too. One has to look at their childhoods and if they emerged a victim or stong and fuctioning.

You see, victims are often narssistic as well. That gets really complicated. That throws a wrench into the works, so to speak, because victims do not see their own responsibility in lifes circumstances. It is all about the other guy.

So in retrospect..............Shi Anne = good and baddish. Robb = badish and goodish because he is fun and hyper and the tribes puppy as opposed to Shi Annes need to control for her saftey due to the fact she had a difficult past and cannot qualify as a puppy because puppies are good and Shi Anne is badish if you think that.

I think she is a puppy and pretty goodish because she speaks her mind and eats the organs of chicken, which I do too. I make a terrific chicken liver dinner but my husband is a vegetarian so he eats tofu and fake burgers so Robb is a vegetarian and is explosive, my husband is not. Sometimes vegetarians just eat a potato and some cheese. He is in China now and eats some things that are probably meatish in the broth catagory. Robb did that too and Shi Anne is Asian so dogs are probably not out of the question.

Now that I am sick to my stomach...YUCK..Fruitbat

Anyway, I like Shii Ann, i have from the beginning...she is a strong willed woman, and personally i believe that Robb is a prejudice man, and does not like Asian people in general. JMHO

Go Shii!!!!
