Dheiner | Sunday, May 11, 2003 - 07:07 pm     That's two in a row for the quitters. Amazing race, and now this. |
Costacat | Sunday, May 11, 2003 - 07:11 pm     Big bite. I guess that "squeaky wheel" saying works for everything. Whine your way to the finish line, or continually whine about needing the money! |
Not1worry | Sunday, May 11, 2003 - 07:15 pm     This is the worst part about reality TV. Disgust with the winner. I thought we were supposed to like the winner on this one?? |
Gidget | Sunday, May 11, 2003 - 07:16 pm     My head just exploded |
Maryk | Sunday, May 11, 2003 - 07:17 pm     Yuck! The most disgusting result ever. |
Lycanthrope | Sunday, May 11, 2003 - 07:47 pm     HA! I love the outcome! I've done 2 complete 180 degree turns on Jenna. Once I realized she's really just a kid on a learning curve, I had to throw my support back her way. Feel free to commence flaming me now... |
Indenial | Sunday, May 11, 2003 - 08:07 pm     At least she had the decency to realize how annoying she was. I'm not sure that Heidi ever really "saw" herself at all. Sad...and Christy? Where was your head? |
Jbean | Sunday, May 11, 2003 - 08:11 pm     lycanthrope, i am with you. i could not stand this girl as of 7pm tonight. i have a different opinion now...just a kid. |
Jasonfan | Sunday, May 11, 2003 - 08:13 pm     True, just a kid, but that doesn't mean Matthew deserved what he got tonight. Matthew played harder,smarter and with more sensitivity. So he's "punished" for not having to grow as much. I'm really in a bad mood now!!! |
Knightpatti | Sunday, May 11, 2003 - 08:18 pm     THis sucks! Jenna is a bad example for womanhood or kid hood! Use tears, sickness, little 'o me, manipulate the men and use her beauty and her body to get her way!!! I hate the outcome, even though the survivors seem happy with it! I believe that Alex and Heidi used their influence on the jury that Jenna needed the money and Matt did not, plus they must not like Matt. Onother thing, the guys would prefer to vote for a woman than to have been beaten by one of their own. Heidi is the total YUCK! |
Firebird05 | Sunday, May 11, 2003 - 08:28 pm     I hate the way this game ended. I do not like Jenna. But I have to disagree with Deena, Jenna did not "play" her way to to the end. Although she did "play it" she also won 4 of the IC challanges. The last two the most important. The guys laid down. So they lost. You play the game till the game is over, that's what Jenna did, the guys sucumbed to the same arrogance that fell the ones before them. I still hate it that she won. It really bites. |
Lilliegirl | Sunday, May 11, 2003 - 08:33 pm     I think Ive been to hell and back she did not deserve to win , I think they voted for her because her mother has cancer. Matt played the best game and should have won but they felt sorry for her and that makes me sick as hello. |
Bastable | Sunday, May 11, 2003 - 08:35 pm     The most consistent pattern of Survivor, it seems, is that the person who gets THIRD or fourth place is the person who truly plays the hardest and most deserves to win: Marquesas: Kathy instead of Vicepia or Neleh Thailand: Helen instead of Clay or Brian Amazon: Rob instead of Matthew or Jenna ...and I still don't understand why Jenna won over Matthew, especially by such a margin. BAD EDITING once again--it's not adequately explained. |
Sawheel17 | Sunday, May 11, 2003 - 08:36 pm     "Son of a biscuit eater!! oh well, what the heck" |
Sawheel17 | Sunday, May 11, 2003 - 08:41 pm     I think if Matteo hadn't admitted he threw last challenge, he would gotten better results. |
Jimmer | Sunday, May 11, 2003 - 08:58 pm     Did he admit it to the Survivors before the vote? I thought it was just one of the "confessional" speeches. Initially we were pretty unhappy that Jenna won, but we mellowed a bit on it with her reaction during the post Survivor chat, because we thought she showed some growth and recognized some of her failings. What is really lousy is the way that Christy and Deena voted and their reasons. What a disgrace. |
Sawheel17 | Sunday, May 11, 2003 - 09:03 pm     Jimmer, what were their reasons? My daughter called and I miss ed that part!! Please someone post what they said. |
Sawheel17 | Sunday, May 11, 2003 - 09:05 pm     Also, I thought he did, maybe not!! |
Jimmer | Sunday, May 11, 2003 - 09:13 pm     Christy made a very lame comment about how she thought that Jenna deserved it because she outwitted, outplayed and outlasted everyone else. Totally ridiculous. And, we really liked Christy. I have no clue if that was a genuine reason or what. I have to apologize about Deena in that she didn't actually say why she voted. We're assuming that she voted the way she did simply because she wanted to see a woman win. |
Awareinva | Sunday, May 11, 2003 - 09:13 pm     Sawheel, it seemed to me that Deena voted for Jenna because Matt p*ssed her off with his "may the best man win" comment at TC; Christy said it was because she had been with Jenna all the time since day 1 and Jenna did outplay her and got to the end. Personally I think that the jury had way too much influence on each other this time.... the rule was supposed to be that they don't discuss it. Only what they see at TC, but it seemed to me Alex slipped up during the reunion and reference some conversation that seemed to have been between the jury members. I am officially going on record to ask Mark Burnett to sequester the jury from each other next time!! (I know that he reads all the insightful comments here on this board and it will carry a lot of weight with him ) I think Alex and Deena swayed Dave and Christy, but in hindsight I think Matt couldn't have beaten Jenna just because of the strong relationships she forged with Alex, Heidi, Deena and Rob. Even a betrayal can be overlooked if you apologize at the final TC in a "cute" enough manner- if, and only if, you have a bond with that person (which Jenna did and Matt didn't). |
Sawheel17 | Sunday, May 11, 2003 - 09:23 pm     Thanks Jimmer and Aware! I agree Aware!! |
Indenial | Sunday, May 11, 2003 - 09:29 pm     It's too bad that Rosie (O'Donnell) isn't around with her show anymore. She would have had Matt on and showered him with attention, and gifts, and lots of snarky remarks about how he lost to someone so undeserving as Jenna. Gosh, that would make me feel better right about now... |
Sia | Sunday, May 11, 2003 - 09:37 pm     Jeff Probst only said we'd like the outcome of this season's "Survivor" because that was the outcome HE wanted!! He cheated for Jenna every chance he got!!! For crying out loud, the challenges were designed to favor her: a balancing Immunity Competition? Come on!! And did you hear him say "Jenna's finding the corner of the maze!" Way to go, Jeffy, tell Jenna where she is. I swear that he guided her through that maze as much as he possibly could!!! I wanted Matthew all the way over her!!! |
Kappy | Sunday, May 11, 2003 - 10:19 pm     Ditto, Sia, about Jeff Probst's prediction that we would love the outcome!! I said last week that I truly noticed his favortism for her. I'm e-mailing Survivor to let them know that Jeff is truly out of touch with how viewers saw this one vs how he saw it. I have been a survivor addict since the very first one and even when I haven't liked who won, I still found myself watching the reunion show afterwards and hanging onto every word. Tongiht I've turned my tv off and have no intention of watching any news or interviews on this one at all. Dave really disappointed me. This is up there with pick which number I have behind my back. He said he wanted to know he could relate to at least one of them (thru evidence of intelligence) depending on their answer to his question and then when Jenna is incapable of even naming any current leader, he votes for her anyways. I also felt that the reason the others were so irritated with the "honesty and integrity" approach on Matt's part was due to the fact that so few of them understand the concept of what honesty and integrity are begin with. Nor do they value it as Matt does. Okay ~ end of my rant. |
Lyn | Sunday, May 11, 2003 - 10:30 pm     I knew Jeanna had won when they showed "Jenna's Family" at the bottom of the screen the minute Jeff walked on stage. (No one else in the audience was captioned) Jenna winning is worse than Vecepia. The only person I wanted to win less than Jenna is Heidi. I agree with Aware - the jury needs to be sequestered |
