I can't wait to see if they let the slammers get through on her chat too.
You could tell by the way she responded she really has no idea how much people dislike her. That's kind of sad, really. Maybe it will sink in the more interviews she goes on.

Thanks Hippy and Happymom!
Wow, she really put on some weight! I'm looking at her bio pic, and she was thinner then. Well, she needed it so that's good.

I read that Jeff will consentrate his focus on Heidi/Jenna Christy and Rob/Matt for the finale show. He said he is under no obligation to give them all a shot at talking, and after reading emails from fans, will strive to make the show as interesting and exciting as possible. What does this all mean? Being a spoiler at heart, I have to think one of those people is the winner. No?

The thing that bugs me about The Early Show is Julie Chen. Her interviews are so boring! At least she could have asked Heidi some tough questions. Does Julie even watch the show? I wish Jeff Probst was doing the interviewing. I am so glad those callers didn't let her off the hook.

As for Heidi's explanation about Christy, I'm not buying it. Christy got lost so Heidi had to show animosity towards her. How about as a fellow human being Heidi, you try offering Christy some assistance?

She needs to spend some of her winnings on a new hair dresser.

This was the first time I got to see one of these interviews, I am so glad it was this one!!! I was ROTF at the callers questions! After the 1st 2 I thought they would put thru a positive caller, but nooooo! hee, probably wasn't one to put thru!!Heidi seemed shocked that people felt that way!! HELLO!
It sounds like she is still teaching, didn't say anything about her being fired.
I want to know if any of the other castoffs had people calling in with questions and if so were they all as negative as the ones Heidi got??

Along the same lines, I am glad that Jeff asks very pointed questions at TC this season. (For the first few Survivor seasons, I thought that there wasn't much use in the jury even being at TC, they didn't get much info. They are getting lots this season.) It's great that he is hosting the reunion show, can't wait!

Heidi did a really poor job of answering the early show questions, she hasn't a clue about so many things.

I do think Heidi brought up and interesting point. She said that in "real life" she was nothing like she was on the show, but that she was playing the game. Do you think that's true? Or was it strategy?

Anyone get the feeling that Jenna will be lucky and won't get the same treatment on Monday? If she doesn't win, she won't get as much air time. If she does win, they'll probably focus on what happens on Sunday night. I don't get the feeling that Jeff will ask her tough questions either since he seems to have taken it easy on Jenna compared to Heidi.

Probably a little bit of both, tex. This game will bring the worst out in most people. I thought her answers were politically correct. She just had a hard time of skirting around the negative. Glad to see her squirm a bit.

See what I'm wondering is what will her her plans as an educator be if Playboy comes knocking at the door?

I just saw the picture at CBS and my first thought was "my God, she's had a facelift!" It does look like a Joan Rivers smile to me too, Wink.

Does anyone know if they always take calls from viewers when they interview the castoffs?

I think they just started the caller questions this season.

Two things that were GREAT but not included in the transcript:

When Hannah Storm introduced the segment with Heidi the headline was something like "Heidi thought she was the mastermind, but her plans went BUST"

And the seqment that was on earlier.. young teens who disagreed with the definition of "beauty" as seen in People's 50 most beautiful .. issues.

hermi.. I think a subscription to this magazine would be very good for school libraries:

Sea, thanks for reminding me. I meant to order that magazine for my friends daughter.

I just loved Heidi's questions, she was pretty surprized.

To answer some one else's question -- this is the first time I have seen negatvie questions. They are usually kind of lame. These were great

What's funny is that Heidi really just doesn't "get it"...

Facts:

1) She was on a game show
2) she was playing a game
3) She treated her temmates/enemies really badly
4) She tried to use her body to get ahead in the game

Now... excuse me, but "real life" or not... I'm not sure the message she sends to the younger audience is a good one -- and that includes her students. I don't persoanlly care if she was "really playing hard" or not... How does she reconcile things when one of her students asks her if it's ok to use her body to get ahead in life??? She can't say it isn't ok because after all... she did it... AND... she can't say it's ok because I think parents would get a little miffed about that!

I asked my 9 yr old nephew (who loves survivor) how he would feel if Heidi was his gym teacher. he told me in no uncertain terms that it would be cool to have a teacher that was on Survivor, but under no conditions would he want Heidi as his teacher. When I asked him why.. he told me that she was mean and selfish and not a person he would like to know. The he added... "can't I have Christy as my teacher???"

Out of the mouths of babes...

The other thing that cracks me up is that Heidi isssss a PE teacher, but can't seem to do anything. I don't think she won anything at all and never even came close.

Kind of amazing for someone who thought she was a threat to the guys. Why would they feel threatened???? She is amazing !!!!!

One of my sons spelling words this week was ditch. When he spelled ditch, he reversed the d and it looked like a b. I told him that he had spelled a bad word. I told him what the word was and he wanted to know what it meant, I said Heidi, and he goes "oooooohhhh!!" then added, "Jenna too!!" Even a 7 yr old boy knows when people are not nice!!!
Faery...loved your newphew's story! As you said, out of the mouth of babes....

Webkitty! OMG! I think that is a huge spoiler if Jeff will concentrate on H/J, Christy, Rob, Matt during the finale! To me, that definitly says Butch is gone next, if he was in F3 I think Jeff would've mentioned this.

Seamonkey, I laughed until I cried today when the usually-lame hosts of "CBS This Morning" were ripping on Heidi before she was even interviewed!! You quoted one of the funny things said before the Survivor segment, but let me post all three of them, okay?

First, Hannah Storm (who reminds me oddly of Kristy McNichol) said, Heidi's million-dollar dream went bust. . .so to speak."

Moments later Hannah said, "We'll get the Survivor skinny from the skinny Survivor."

Then right before they broke for a commercial Julie Chen said, "When we come back we'll be joined by a fully-clothed Heidi."

Come on, now, if the CBS people can rip on Heidi like this, I want to, too! I love it!! I think Heidi's meanness towards other players is what got her burned!

Thanks for posting that Sia, too funny!

Just to clarify my previous post, I don't think Jeff would've mentioned Butch being in F3, of course not, no way. But I think if Butch was in the F3, Jeff would've included Butch's name in the list of those he was planning to concentrate on in the finale.

I thought Heidi acutally did a pretty good job of trying to save face. I mean, really, what can she say or do at this point to convince us she's not an evil stepsister besides say that we didn't see everything. She clearly looked uncomfortable to me. I hope she gets a giant clue as to how disgusted most fans are with her behavior.

I was so thrilled that CBS let those 3 pointed questions through. It seems they usually coddle the guests, but not this time.

Heidi's hair looked really bad. I guess they haven't been back long enough for it to all grow in again.

It was SO appropriate that the piece before Heidi was about the teenage magazine that thinks beauty is from within, and not about being skinny, etc.

What could she have done? Well to take a page from one of my least favorite survivors, but way higher on the list than Miss Heidi.. ROBB with two Bs, who said he took a look at his actions (even before leaving) and has become better friends with his father and has learned something.. even if she didn't, it would have sounded way better.

And the role model for kids issue? She could still say that she wasn't there as a role model, she was playing an aggressive game and the editing made it worse, BUT, that now that she's viewed the shows, she will be telling kids that she'd be nicer.

You know, a bit of damage control, maybe?

Yeah, I was cracking up listening to those wise young girls, knowing that Heidi was to follow them on the show. Too bad they didn't let THEM interview Heidi :)

what's the deal with her saying that jenna was 'right there' when she (heidi) was campaigning with rob? she was whispering and just before that she said in a confessional that getting jenna voted off would surely work to her advantage. sneesh!

this girl bugs the heck outta me!

those young girls would probably have been too polite with heidi, but they could have asked some very pointed questions. yup.

The morning after the episode aired in which Christy got booted, I tried very hard to get through to CBS on the 800-number that was provided. I was unable to get through, however. I wanted to tell Christy that she had a great number of admirers and to ask if she was aware that she was this season's "Survivor Sweetheart" in the eyes of the viewing public. I would also like to have been able to tell her specifically about TVCH and her fan-following here.

Yesterday morning after the program aired in which Heidi got the boot, I didn't even try to call in; I wouldn't have had many nice things to say to her, and the three callers who were put through did a much better job than I would have in asking her very tough questions with just enough of a veneer of politeness that they were allowed on the air!! I was glad that I hadn't tried to call in, because the three callers whose questions were asked on the show were right on the money, and they asked just fabulous questions.

The purpose of my post is this: the wise-cracks that I quoted that were made by Hannah Storm and Julie Chen were made early in the broadcast, shortly after 7:00 a.m.--Heidi didn't even appear until the 8:00 hour (maybe at 8:20?). What cracked me up was that the news "anchors" (um, news-readers) were guffawing and having a good old laugh at the clips of Heidi that were shown as teasers through that first hour of the early show.

It was so funny! At one point they were discussing how the other remaining Survivors looked at each other ("Like, Whaaaat?") when Heidi made her final TC speech about being the mastermind behind the plots that got the jury members booted. Even Harry Smith and Renee Syler were drawn into the laughs. I got the biggest kick out of it!!!

Sia, you are soooo right, I forgot about that. Becaause they were having such a good time I started my tape early and ended up with a lot of news.

It was very funny!!!!!
