Guinevere | Friday, April 25, 2003 - 09:23 am     I would love to see Christy and Rob in the final two, if only to make Jenna and Heidi's heads explode over having to vote for one of them. Imagine, having to pick between the guy that stabbed you in your bony back and the girl that you dismissed from day 1 as "not cute enough" to be part of your pathetic little clique. |
Maris | Friday, April 25, 2003 - 09:50 am     Christy annoyed me in the beginning and I thought all she did was whine. She seemed to improve when she changed teams but what I love about her is that everyone has discounted her and Butch as unimportant. She has everything on the ball and knows exactly what is going on. They think that because she is deaf she doesnt know what they are saying and have forgotten all about her ability to lipread. I think the final two could very well be Christy and Butch. Rob is putting himself out there to everyone as the guy that they all want to be up against because the jury will hate him and that is how he thinks he will get to the final two. I am guessing that once they get rid of Jenna and Heidi (which should be next), Christy and Butch will step up to the plate and let Matt in on everything that Rob has been up to. They vote Rob out, then vote out Matt. |
Weenerlobo | Friday, April 25, 2003 - 12:35 pm     Here's a nice article on Christy being the new America's Sweetheart. I think this guy hits it right on the nose. GO CHRISTY! |
Whoami | Friday, April 25, 2003 - 12:59 pm     Great article. Once I got past all those freaking pop ups! |
Alaginger | Friday, April 25, 2003 - 01:45 pm     Just had to slip this quote in here from the above article about America's Sweetheart. "Isn't it ironic that being beautiful on the outside isn't enough to win over America? It takes being wholesome. Christy has it; Heidi and Jenna don't." |
Lycanthrope | Friday, April 25, 2003 - 04:19 pm     I'm really in Christy's corner, now. She has shown that she has a very good intuition about people, and is not easily taken in by a charming personality. She sees the layers, and that's rare. I think she is also much more intelligent than anyone else in the Amazon. In fact, she may be the smartest Survivor contestant since Rich Hatch. Rob made a bad move in deviating from his alliance, and that opened the door for Christy to become THE power player. If Jenna or Heidi is voted out next week, Christy will be set to win the million. But if there is another surprise, all bets are off. |
Hermione69 | Tuesday, April 29, 2003 - 11:09 am     This is an actual excerpt from an article written by Brian Heidik, winner of S5. Even he has a soft spot for Christy! Amazing! "One interesting thing I noticed about this week's auction for luxury items: Nobody looked out for Christy. The other contestants are nice to her on the surface, but nobody offered her any food and they knew she didn't get anything before the auction was over. I know she had money to buy food, too, but she was so starved for friendship or attention she would rather buy a letter from home than eat. That should tell you something and it's disturbing how they have made her feel. I would love to see Christy win, but I know her tribemates won't let that happen. I wish the TV audience was voting, then I know she'd be the last one standing because she deserves it for living with this group of jerks for so long. But Christy will do well in her life because she a good person who is not letting her deafness get in her way. She's a REAL survivor." WOW!  |
Brenda1966 | Tuesday, April 29, 2003 - 11:35 am     Thanks for posting that Hermi. I always knew Brian was a good guy underneath that ugly fur coat. I'd love to read the whole article -- where can I find it? |
Hermione69 | Tuesday, April 29, 2003 - 11:52 am     http://pub124.ezboard.com/fsurvivorsucksfrm17 On page 15 in the Christy Mmmmmmm fan thread (I need to work on how to do links!). I'm trying to find the original place it was published/posted, but I am not having any luck. I think this is the full article: "SURVIVOR INSIDER By Brian Heidik We're in the homestretch. There are just a handful of days left and a lot of opportunities for anyone to change the outcome. There can be a lot of twists and turns before somebody walks away with $1 million. In Thailand I was so determined to win that I had to flip-flop like a fish to fit the situation, and it paid off -- but not before getting lectures on "fairness" and "integrity." But remember, the motto of "Survivor" is "outwit, outlast and out play" -- it's not about playing fair. I'm not saying you can cheat in challenges or anything like that. But you can lie or make alliances and then change according to what's going on. That's the part they call "outwit" -- get it? I didn't create the rules, but I learned how to manipulate and play the game within the rules. And I'm sure when everyone got home and saw the show they were able to see what they did wrong -- and what I did right. I loved it in Thailand when there were fights because more than likely one of the people involved was going to go home very soon. For example, when Ted and Ghandia had their sexual misunderstanding I was thrilled. I was thinking, "OK, those two are gone." I knew Ted would rally the votes to kick off Ghandia, and then after that the women would be pissed and eventually vote him off, too. I didn't think Ghandia deserved to be voted off at the time, but what the hell. I didn't care who went to "loser island" as long as it wasn't me! There were a lot of sore losers in Thailand but I don't regret anything I had to do to win. Actually, all I did was sit back and let them devour each other. Was that my fault? No. But some of the contestants were bitter because they realized I sat back and let them destroy themselves. They blamed me, but in reality they knew if they had just shut up they could've ended up $1 million in the bank. The odds of winning "Survivor" is 1 out of 16. Those are better odds than almost any other opportunity in your life, and the losers in Thailand knew they blew it over something stupid. They were their own worst enemies and I laid back like Butch, Christy and even my buddy Vecepia and watched it all play out until the end. One interesting thing I noticed about this week's auction for luxury items: Nobody looked out for Christy. The other contestants are nice to her on the surface, but nobody offered her any food and they knew she didn't get anything before the auction was over. I know she had money to buy food, too, but she was so starved for friendship or attention she would rather buy a letter from home than eat. That should tell you something and it's disturbing how they have made her feel. I would love to see Christy win, but I know her tribemates won't let that happen. I wish the TV audience was voting, then I know she'd be the last one standing because she deserves it for living with this group of jerks for so long. But Christy will do well in her life because she a good person who is not letting her deafness get in her way. She's a REAL survivor." |
Appletalk | Tuesday, April 29, 2003 - 11:54 am     Don't get me wrong I really like Christi, but, I heard they weren't allowed to share auction purchased food. And as far as the letter goes I don't think they knew one of the auctioned items would be a letter did they? |
Csnog | Tuesday, April 29, 2003 - 12:07 pm     No, they didn't know a letter would be among the auctioned items. What frost me is that Jeff offered another letter but not any more food when it was clear Christy and Heidi had money left over. Jeff ended the auction after Jenna got her way. |
Alaginger | Tuesday, April 29, 2003 - 12:10 pm     Apple........it is true that they were not allowed to share food. Alex stated that in one of his post-boot interviews. Brian obviously was not aware of that when he wrote his article. I think that is the best article he has written to date, and does show the other side of him that we don't always get to see. I think the thing most people were ticked off about is that there was obviously only intentions for one letter to be auctioned, and JP (or whoever pulls his strings) allowed another letter to be auctioned. In the long run, it wound up actually being a good thing because it continued to show the other Survivors, as well as the viewing audience, more of the "true colors" of the Jenna/Heidi twins. It brought in more support for Christy. |
Hermione69 | Tuesday, April 29, 2003 - 12:11 pm     Appletalk, I don't think so either, but I didn't post it to reiterate those points, but rather just to show that even hard-hearted Brian is cheering her on. As one of Brian's biggest anti-fans last season, it was heart-warming to see another side of him. I don't think he is the type that would say anything he didn't mean. |
Sheilaree | Tuesday, April 29, 2003 - 12:37 pm     jeanna was a very poor loser because Christy won the letter, she pouted and got her way I hope Christy wins, I won't watch it if Jeanna wins. |
Dheiner | Tuesday, April 29, 2003 - 12:41 pm     "I don't think he is the type that would say anything he didn't mean." Brian? BRIAN??????????? |
Hermione69 | Tuesday, April 29, 2003 - 01:04 pm     Okay, I see your point, LOL!! But in the articles I have read of his post-show, he has been brutally honest. Outside of the game, is probably what I should have said, LOL! In other words, I think if he thought Christy was a whiny wuss, he would say so. The fact that he likes her just shows me another side of him that I never saw before. I wouldn't have picked him to be her champion. |
Alaginger | Tuesday, April 29, 2003 - 01:53 pm     Dheiner.........that was a good one......because we were all watching the same show.....right? But, I have to agree with Hermie that Brian was that was for the game, and in his articles he is totally honest (the way he sees it). We may not agree with the way he sees it.......and 9 times out of 10 when talking about himself, he is really full of himself.......but I think he is "brutally honest" (to quote Hermie) now. |
Dheiner | Tuesday, April 29, 2003 - 02:14 pm     I still disagree. I think Brian is still busy selling Brian. He will say or do anything he can to get ahead. His choices in previous employment show this, and I have no reason to think differently now. He knows that Christy is the favorite of the general public, and is saying these things because right now people liking him is what sells him. |
Appletalk | Tuesday, April 29, 2003 - 03:10 pm     You people are so nice!! I was on another board and I didn't say much but when I did I always thought I had to defend myself. You all don't beat people up for not agreeing with your opinion or for asking dumb questions. Thank You. Now - I totally agree Jenna getting that letter sucked. But you are right it showed some Jenna supporters another not so nice side of her. I can find no excuse for her or Heidi's behavior. Definitely not because she is young, not because her Mom is sick. Welcome to the real world pretty girls. Go Christy. |
Brenda1966 | Tuesday, April 29, 2003 - 03:11 pm     And I thought I was cynical Dheiner! LOL! I've always seen Brian as "brutally honest". Sure he has a HUGE ego, but his assessment of people and situations is usually dead on. Just because Brian played the game hard and brutally, doesn't mean he can't genuinely like Christy and be rooting for her. Has anyone seen comments from Richard Hatch about this season? I'd love to hear what he thinks. |
Lanzee | Tuesday, April 29, 2003 - 09:25 pm     I did watch the chilling moment between Christy and Jenna last week thursday. It made me very upset, angry, disappointment, and gross. I think Christy is very intelligent, patient, awesome attitude and classy deaf girl that I ever seen! I wish I could jump in and be her side. Show my excitment and cheer with her for getting letter. Sit with her as she read the letter and I would love to hear her telling me in sign language for what the letter said. I bet you all saw her sitting alone beside the tall tree and crying while she read the precious letter from her awesome friend. It broken my heart to see that Chrisy had extremely a difficult time being alone all the time and no support around her. She was well-deserved to get a marvelous support letter while she's in "dark" time there. For Jenna, she should not be in the game and she should be with her mother right now. What a shame. I do not pity her for getting her letter because she did sign up her name to play the Survivor game while her mother is ill. If I were her, I won't dare to do that! She should aware that if her mother gets bad then the Survivor staff surely will notify her immediately. So, her mother is ok.. why she was all upset because Christy got her letter. Very selfish and very poor loser!! I would say it's immature heartless thing that she ever done! She totally forgot for what she did to Christy since day one. That's awful! One thing, I am wondering if the fans see her, they might say the bad things to her for what she did to Christy. Just be cautious!! The group didn't give Christy something little to eat but I guess it's game and can't give each other the food to share. Being hearing impaired, it's difficult to catch the people's bidding. She needs a signer to help her to catch up with them. My brother and my dad usually does the auction jobs. If deaf people there, my brother will auction and use sign language at the same time or get an interpreter for them. I disagreed with Jeff and Mark to put their pity on Jenna for 2nd letter since the very hungry girl, Christy got her letter. It made me puke! He should stand firm and too bad for Jenna. She have to remember it's a game. Not pity!! I wish Christy should say no to her but she's too soft for her. If I were her, I would easily say NO!! LOL!!! U know what... Jenna needs to go next so she must be with her mother right now. BYE, Jenna!!!! I need to pray hard that she is not deserve to be a winner for one million dollars. Go, Christy, go! She rocks!!!!!!!!!! Whoo!!!!! She is a truly winner no matter what!!! U rock! Lanzee \lm/ |
Egbok | Tuesday, April 29, 2003 - 09:58 pm     Hey Lanzee...how is your infamous blue pen light? LOL You made some good points about last week's show and it saddens me how Christy is being treated by the other girls. It does make me wonder how these girls will be seen and treated once the show is over. I hope that Christy goes far in the game! |
Kaili | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 07:41 am     One thing though...would they tell Jenna if something went wrong with her mom? Who was it last season- wasn't there someone whose dad died while she was on the show? She stayed on and was voted out like everyone else- as far as I know she wasn't told ahead of time. Not that I am trying to defend Jenna because she isn't worth it. Ahhh- I shouldn't say mean things like that. I mean, I'm sure she really does love her mom and worry about her- and if it was me I wouldn't be able to leave my mom's side- but i can understand her really wanting a letter. The thing is- who doesn't really want a letter? Basically everyone is isolated out there- they may develop friendships sort of, but when it comes down to it these people are competing against eachother so you would always have to question their motives. Okay, I'm now totally on a different topic than i was intending to write about. Whatever- I don't like Jenna. I pity her for being so self-centered and I feel bad for her that her family is going through a hard time (but whose family doesn't from time to time- it doesn't make her that special), but I don't like her. I guess I can't do this without adding a "but" to everything positive I say. I hope this isn't coming across that I a completely insensitive to families who are having health issues, etc because I'm not- I'm just trying to say that I don't think everyone should bend over backward for Jenna just because of it. You'll have to excuse me, I just woke up and I am "pre-coffee" right now. I might not make a lot of sense |
Hermione69 | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 08:36 am     Kaili, that was Tanya and she had already happened to be voted out when it happened. Her dad was killed in a car accident towards the end of the show, so she was already at Loser Lodge. I am pretty sure they let her know. I don't know all the details of Jenna's story, but my mom went through breast cancer last year and no way would I have left her side to go somewhere where I would be virtually unreachable for 6 weeks. Jenna chose to do this and from earlier interviews, it doesn't sound like her family is lacking for money so this is probably not a last-ditch desperate attempt to find a way to pay for her mom's medical expenses. I think that if it was, we would have heard a lot more about it earlier on in the show. It is my personal opinion that she is just playing it up now to get sympathy. She needs to suck it up and deal. She took herself away from her mom and that does not give her special rights. Lanzee, I am so happy to read your post and know you had the same reaction to Jenna that I did, just because I do know how I can get a bug up my butt about certain people. You are awesome, Lanzee! Wouldn't it be great if our girl Christy wins this whole thing??? And even just making it to the final four would be wonderful! |
Essence | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 08:37 am     Kaili, I think the person you are referring to is Tanya from last season. She had already been voted off when her dad died. She didn't have anything to do with the end result of the game, and I believe she was told and flown home. If someone remembers anything else, please chime in. |
