Gina8642 | Saturday, February 22, 2003 - 07:23 am     I've realized with both Heidi and Jenna hiding their hair under their buffs I'm getting the two confused. I think I've attributed several Heidi scenes to Jenna. This cast is easy to confuse!!! (Both similar names and similar body types) |
Grooch | Saturday, February 22, 2003 - 08:51 am     I am really not getting where all this Jenna dislike is coming from. So because of that, I will support her!  |
Emt911 | Saturday, February 22, 2003 - 09:35 am     Is Jenna the one Christy said hadn't even talked to her once in 5 days? If so, that triggers a little 'negative feeling' in me! Christy has a hearing loss, she isn't a rock! If there were 100 people around, you might not have gotten close enough to someone to make some type of conversation, but c'mon; 8 gals in a small camp! Hopefully, the gals will see how hurtful they have been to Christy and make an attempt to include her as they would any other survivor. At some point, yes, you dislike the bossy, or the lazy or the whatever aspect of a person, but they should all start on equal ground. I truly believe, from how it was edited, and from Jenna saying she had made no attempt to talk with Christy--remember, it was Heidi who 'ignored' Christy on the first episode because it was hard - that the others are ostracizing Christy because she is deaf. I felt Heidi thought it was a nuisance - right up there with having to make way for someone in a wheelchair, God-forbid! I also thought it was totally wiggy of Jenna to wash her undies and her buff on day one or two, when there was a lot to be done in camp - and still is. Hello, you usually don't die from a dirty buff, but shelter and food might be a tad important! Some of this is undoubtedly editing, to sway us certain ways, but there have been a few things I really don't care for about Jenna. I am hoping that changes, but we'll see. I disliked Kathy at first on Survivor 4, and by halfway through, I was rooting for her and by the end, I thought she should have won hands down. |
Catfat | Saturday, February 22, 2003 - 09:47 am     I am grossed out by Jenna washing her bikini bottom in the cooking pot and then leaving the water and pot for someone else to clean up. I also don't like her attitude about being able to manipulate men to help her win the game (or words to that effect). |
Hermione69 | Saturday, February 22, 2003 - 10:15 am     Yes, Jenna is the one that Christy said hadn't said one word to her in 5 days. That observation couple with Jenna's dismissal of Christy's feelings at TC (In other words, she is ignoring Christy, but is offended when Christy said she is being excluded??) do result in a negative feeling on my part towards her. Jenna, right now, represents every hearing person that has listened to me try to explain what it is like to be deaf and then has argued with me about it as if they have a clue! And trust me there have been a lot of them! Does that clear it up for you, Grooch? LOL! |
Hermione69 | Saturday, February 22, 2003 - 10:58 am     Grooch, I just reread what I posted and I hope I didn't sound like a smart aleck in the last sentence because I wasn't trying to be. Truly! I was just trying to explain where my impressions, and apparently others' impressions as well, came from. |
Grooch | Saturday, February 22, 2003 - 11:02 am     Herm, no problem! I am getting confused with so many girls with the same name. (Thank goodness Janet went. One less "J" to deal with. I think (but not sure) that I meant Jeanne, not Jenna, in my wondering about the dislike from the viewers. |
Tabbyking | Saturday, February 22, 2003 - 01:42 pm     What I disliked about Jeanne also had to do with Christy. (Why do they all treat her like dog crap?) Anyway, it was when she told her to take a pole, take the boat and go fish. It was said in a rude way, the look on her face left no doubt - even if Christy couldn't 'hear' the tone - and no one should be sent out alone on that river. I was bummed, because I had Jeanne on my Media game team and thought she was going to get it together. I had Deena on my team, also, and I didn't like her 'whatever' attitude when the gals were lying around and Christy was trying to get them to help with the shelter. This group looked like the Robb and Sean of Camp Lazy. It was Deena who got the branches and threw them down and told Christy to use them, right? The first episode, it looked as if maybe Christy and Deena had a bonding moment when they shared a laugh over Jenna's buff-washing. I was so hoping! I am trying to not judge too quickly because editing could really make it worse than it is, but on the other hand, it maybe is worse than they are showing! However, anyone who is not accepting of someone because of a disability just gets my dander up! And editing could not make up the things we already saw and heard. Right now, I only like Christy and Shawna on the gal tribe. |
Hermione69 | Saturday, February 22, 2003 - 02:09 pm     OMG Tabbyking!! I am so happy to see you! I'm just checking in very briefly cuz I am on my way to my sister's, but I'll catch up with you later!

Grooch | Saturday, February 22, 2003 - 03:12 pm     <<Anyway, it was when she told her to take a pole, take the boat and go fish. >> Ok, I don't remember her saying this, but I am assuming it was said after Christy called them all lazy and she didn't want to work on the shelter and she wanted to go fishing instead. So is it ok for Christy to call them all lazy to their face in a very blunt way (I read the posts about how deaf people are very blunt in their speaking and hearing people may take offense to how they say things.) And in return, it is not ok, for someone who was just called lazy in a very blunt way, to not take exception to it and answer in kind? Sorry, I am not buying it. I need to see more footage of all the girls interacting with one another to get a real idea of what their true personalities are before I start judging them. |
Emt911 | Saturday, February 22, 2003 - 03:50 pm     They were lazy, from what we were shown. Otherwise, they would have accomplished something in 5 or 6 days. It appeared Christy was asking for them to work as a team. Jeanne was telling her to do something all by herself. To me, and I am saying "to me", it looked as if there were 2 groups of women. One had Christy in it and the other had a group who sort of co-mingled and didn't get much accomplished. I don't know why Janet didn't reach out and be friendly to Christy until TC, either. I think we are saying we, too, have to see more and we wonder about the editing and other aspects. But so far, some of these girls (seemingly) are not working with Christy due to her being deaf and almost a 'non-entity' to them. I don't feel we are making a final judgment on them. I know I am just making comments per episode. It seems people are saying "right now" or "it seems" or "editing might play a big part" and not necessarily making blanket statements that will cover the entire game, and there is nothing wrong with that. We are all entitled to express what we got out of the show! |
Hermione69 | Saturday, February 22, 2003 - 07:25 pm     I think you said that very well, EMT. Your final paragraph is right on. Once again, Tabby, I am glad to see you and hope you stick around! Well, I am off to read. I hope everyone has a good night. |
Alaginger | Saturday, February 22, 2003 - 07:47 pm     Clipped this from a chat Janet did that was linked from the Janet thread. Addicted2Survivor: Do you think that Christy was excluded? Survivor Janet: I got that impression, yeah! I do want to point out though, if it didn't make it on TV, that I was not one of those that excluded her. She and I formed a close relationship, and she even cried when I told her that I thought I'd be sent packing. |
Emt911 | Saturday, February 22, 2003 - 09:34 pm     I wish we had seen Janet speak up in Christy's defense. Damn editing! When Joanna went nuts, they showed Janet just sitting there. Perhaps it was the smart move, though, and she didn't want to make Joanna more angry. You don't throw grease on a fire! I am hoping Janet got with Christy later to make her feel a little better, and maybe gave her a pep talk before they headed off to TC. Or maybe gave her a granola bar, LOL |
Lycanthrope | Friday, March 07, 2003 - 09:53 am     I kinda like Jenna, actually. There's something about her, a quality, that I think will take her a long way. She's not weak, like Shawna, and she's not the lead strategizer, like Heidi. She's physically unimposing compared with both Deena and Christy, which will give her a non-threatening quality. And she is fully prepared to use her feminine qualities on the men after the merge. I see her as a very strong player at this point. And now that she's in an alliance with Christy, maybe they'll get to know each other a little better. |
Whoami | Friday, March 07, 2003 - 12:50 pm     The one thing I'll give Jenna is that she seemed just a tiny hesitant in talking about her "good body." I mean, at least she wasn't as intense as Heidi was about being "cute." Could it be Jenna (and Heidi, for that matter) have been prompted and prodded to talk about their booby bods? Jenna is a model. She HAS to know that, as far as the modeling industry is concerned, she is darn near already over the hill. |
Mygetaway | Friday, March 07, 2003 - 04:11 pm     Shoot, I had a post all typed up, and lost my internet explorer while trying to take a picture of a clip of Jenna on the Early Show this morning. (I also noticed it last night, but then forgot to post. Don't think anyone else mentioned it, so it's probably just me being weird..lol) Is it my imagination, or does it look like Jenna was kind of flipping Joanna off during the beauty is fleeting speech? Go back and check your tape if you have one, or watch the video at Link for Early Show Video Clip She is pushing up her sunglasses with her middle finger, but the look on her face says more to me.. (maybe I'm just bad.. ) |
Lycanthrope | Friday, March 07, 2003 - 04:18 pm     I thought the same exact thing, Mygetaway, right when it happened I chuckled at the subtle, yet classic "flip-off" it looked like Jenna was giving Joanna while adjusting her glasses. |
Hermione69 | Friday, March 07, 2003 - 05:02 pm     Since Jenna and Heidi seem so buddy-buddy, I have trouble not viewing them as two peas in a pod, even if Heidi IS the more in-your-face of the two with the "we're cute" comments. I also still have reservations about her because of how she has treated Christy. For now, she is pretty low on my list, but I wouldn't say I outright dislike her. But she hasn't done anything to redeem herself either. |
Curlyq | Friday, March 07, 2003 - 05:07 pm     I noticed Jenna actually spoke directly to Christy and even asked for her opinion on last night's show. I nearly fell over. They must've had it out and cleared the air after that other tribal council. |
Gina8642 | Saturday, March 08, 2003 - 10:33 am     Curlyq - It sure sounds like it. Deena gave Christy some nice compliments at TC. JoAnna said in her chat that she and Christy had it out and things improved after that. I think all the women are coming to accept Christy and she them. I love Christy, but I do think she had a bit of a chip on her shoulder about being deaf. She also has a very sarcastic sense of humor, which can rub some people the wrong way. Sounds like she is really fitting in at this point. |
Hermione69 | Tuesday, March 25, 2003 - 06:43 am     I have been thinking for awhile now that Jenna is the instigator of a lot more than we are being shown, which seems like it may be confirmed with the next episode since she is clearly the one egging Heidi to take her panties off. Why she is being edited so much more positively than Heidi makes me think MB really wants us to like her which makes me nervous. Ergh. I will be so disappointed if another person that I find so unlikable wins Survivor. Please no! Not after Brian! |
Fruitbat | Tuesday, March 25, 2003 - 07:12 am     JP has good things to say about Jenna and early on said we should keep and eye on her or something to that effect. Said there was much more to her than just a swimsuit model. |
Hermione69 | Tuesday, March 25, 2003 - 07:46 am     I know, JP definitely liked Jenna much better than Heidi. I'm still waiting for Jenna to show me another side to her. Personally have not seen much that makes her very likable. |
Alaginger | Tuesday, March 25, 2003 - 07:56 am     Well.....let me just take a guess here... I read somewhere that Heidi left the show hating Christy. I haven't read anything anywhere yet that says Jenna and Christy had a problem after the first two episodes where Jenna didn't speak to Christy and Christy voted against her at tribal council. Maybe when they merge, Jenna starts being more receptive to Christy and befriends her, and we will see another side of Jenna. I sure hope so! So far, I haven't liked much of what I have seen about her. |
