I think we should discuss Jan. I think she is probably a pretty nice person, but that act of trying to be childlike could be a bit wearing. Examples: Those two ponytails with bows. Jumping up and down and screeching when she discovered the money. Trying to be cute and coy with the men. Weeping and carrying on over the bat embryo, especially when she has just spent the last weeks eating other animals which looked very similar, such as squid.
I hope she uses any money she wins to get some good skin cream, I would be willing to bet my best waterdish that she is NOT 53 years old, but more like 65.

Well Jan is a bit flaky. I know people like her, and can only take them in small doses. Likable, but not really stomachable for a camping trip or somesuch.

How about Penny?? "I'm gonna shoot for the middle and all of you get your arses in there and try to catch it!"...priceless

Penny (that tiny little thing?) sort of surprized me with her take-charge attitude. And what is more, they all listened to her too. Good for her.

We have no idea what the real power structure is on these teams, only what MB is showing us.

Ken seems to be in charge of the suckies.

BUT

Watch out for the 3 from Texas. They are probably tighter than a size 4 pair of shoes on a size 8 foot.

I'm not sure that there is a leader in the Chewie tribe. They have alliances but seem to make decisions together. If I had to make a call I would say Brian gets most to do things his way

Ops forgot to talk about Jan.

Jan is a teacher and has camped many times. Jan does not care what she looks like and she does not seem to be a complainer.
You need to do something with your hair to keep it out of your face.

When she got the tree mail with the money she knew they would be bidding on something to EAT and they were way out in the water. When she saw the embryo she may have gone a little to far but, the female teacher side may have had something to do with it.
We are not shown anyone being close to her.
We do know that she would NOT vote Ted off for Ghandia.
We do know that she is the weakest on the tribe but due to other problem people on the tribe she has lasted to the merge if it happens this week.

At this point in the game they start to vote off the strongest so she might be around for a while and that aint bad for a 53,65,or even a 70 year old.

I think Jan will look better at the finale show when she is all cleaned up. Remember Tina and Kathy? Their skin looked really bad out there too

Why do I hear the theme song from Deliverance every time Jan and Clay are on camera? Just asking.

Ditto to Csnog and Pamy's posts on Jan.

I don't know that I would have cried at the little bat, but I cry when the spider dies in Charlitte's Web, so what can I say??? I'm a softheart!

I agree Juju. We can only guess. Penny showed some power there in the challenge and counciling Shi Anne to let the boys work out the banana conflict. She appears to be respected. My guess is that Ken, Penny and Erin are the power on that team.

I am not fond of Clay and Jan. They may be good people in RL but I am going on what I see and they are both on my nerves.

Jan seems like a flake to me but a likeable flake, as for her age, she is probably 53, she just has that leathery aged skin of someone who has abused herself with too much sun. She probably does clean up well with some makeup, like Kathy and Tina, they had the same complexion as Jan.

If the merge is next week and she gets a good alliance she might go far because physically she is not a threat. If Sook Jai gets control I really can't see them voting of Jan, I think Ted is the one who has to worry, he was the strength in all the challenges that took brawn. They used him to shut down Robb in the last reward challenge and they used him to block on the log challenge, I think Sook Jai is going to remember this and go after him first.

Jan will be around awhile because she is not threat but I doubt she makes it to the end.

Ted should be that big target. The buzz has Shi Anne going but that is not logical.

Oooo---I hope Ted isn't the one to go. He has been one of my favourites since the beginning. But I think if I were playing the game, after merge I would definitely try and vote him off mainly because of his strength and his likability (is that a word?).
I like Jan, too, and can see her skimming by for awhile. She never shirks work, doesn't try to assert herself or get in fights. She has endless energy on little food. I guess I like her except for the baby bat thing.

Part of Jan's strength is her comfort with herself.. she does what feels right and she seems to stay true to her feelings.. so what if she likes her hair in braids? keeps her hair out of her face.. and if it makes her feel better to have bows in her hair then all the power to her.. she laughs and cries because its what she feels.. she doesn't hold grudges.. she pulls her part of the work.. if I can do what she's doing at her age I'd be extremely pleased.. and besides.. they all look pretty grubby at this point..

It has been rumored that a member of Teds family was at the island and spent time with him so he should be there until then.

Jake, Penny and Erin are all from Texas and thats why I think they are a tight knit group.

If Shii Ann votes with the Chewie tribe I see Ken being booted.

I agree with this. Myself being of Texas blood, I can recognize an alliance when I see it, especially if it means booting a damnyankee.

Off topic question Catfat...I have always wondered about who yankees are. I am from Michigan but live in New England. They consider themselves yankees here. I never have. Where is the geographical line?

Good post Turtletrackz! I agree with you. Also, I think she has been edited to show her as "flakey". She may have strengths that we haven't seen yet. Just my thoughts. smiley scratching chin

I just did a bit of checking and learned that baby bats are born hairless, so I would assume that wasn't an embryo but a baby that lost his grip on his mother and fell to his death. Too sad! I'd be a basket case right along with Jan. I take these kinds of things personally. Yesterday I spotted a tiny, baby possum dead in the middle of the road and felt such sorrow.

Hi Fruitbat--I'm not sure where the line is, I live near Seattle! I think perhaps rather than a geographic line, it may be in the "accent" when they talk.
Damnyankees was just a joke on my part, I've been doing family genealogy and found a big batch of ancestors who settled in Tennessee, Texas and Kentucky before the American Civil War, which has nothing to do with what we are talking about here, but which is why my mind is on the North vs. the South. How boring am I?

I'm sorry but Jan reminds me of Granny Clampett.

Bat, you count as a Yankee. I have lived in the south most of my life. Everyone up here is a Yankee.

Jan & the ponytails and her sagging butt hanging out of that swimsuit is almost too much to take, but you've got to give it to her for stamina, work ethic and likeability (I think its a word...If not and we use it often enough, it will be.)
I hope Ted stays around a while (He's one of my favs) but I think he's got to have a big bullseye on his back.
The she-devil has outlasted her arch enemy (ROB with 2 "B's"). She could be pretty dangerous. She's smart, strong and she keeps her cards pretty close to her vest.

I just want to know if anybody believes that Jan is 53? If she is - then she must have had the hardest life I have ever seen. She looks to be about 65-70 easily. I am 49 and she looks like she could be my mother. My sister is 54 and Jan looks like her mother. I am not trying to be mean, but come on - let's be honest here.
