I keep remembering that Jeff said "we would like this years winner"

If Jeff thinks we will like Jenna he's wrong!

This leads me to believe (hope) it will be Matt.

Matt is shown as being nice and caring.

Please, anyone other than those 2 selfish, self centered brats.

I can hardly wait until the questions fly on why they treated Christy the way they did. I know, I know, they will put it down to editing.

Csnog, I'd forgotten that Jeff said that. Jeff seems pretty in tune with people. He doesn't like Jenna or Heidi either, he's got to know the majority of the viewers don't like them either. So, I am really hoping this is a clue that neither Jenna nor Heidi will win. I really do dislike Jenna more than Heidi. I really hope Jenna does not win this.

I was so ticked at how Jenna and Heidi got mad at Christy for even TRYING to win her letter. I am so sick of players expecting pity from others to give them free passes. If her mother is that sick, then it was fairly stupid/unfeeling of her to volunteer to go play jungle games in the first place.

But I think I had it wrong, they didn't expect Christy to let Jenna have the letter 'cause of a sick mother..... they expected Christy to let EITHER Jenna or Heidi win because they are just more deserving, period. How dare Christy think her poor little life/friends/family are anywhere NEAR as important as theirs? Doesn't she understand she is privileged just to be in the presence of their greatness? How ungrateful indeed.

I am so ready for Heidi to get booted, am waiting for all those after-interviews.... her explanations, rationalizations, etc. LOL Should be fun.

If I could have reached through the screen last night and smacked that spoiled, smug smile off her face after Probst threw her the letter bone, I would have. How petty can you be? It's sad to be shown once again that the squeeky wheel gets the oil, even when they don't need it...

The thing is, with anyone else, I would sympathize more with her wanting a letter from home if she had a sick mother. I still wouldn't fault Christy for going for it as well, but I would be able to sympathize with Jenna and maybe root for her.

But she's just so awful. And I get the feeling that her indignation over Christy even trying to outbid her had less to do with her sick mother and more to do with Jenna's monstrous sense of entitlement. Like, who is Christy to go up against her? Doesn't Christy know that Jenna is the popular kid, the alpha female, the CUTE one (okay, that last bit sounds more like Heidi, but you get the picture).

This <M> is going next week.
Trying to outbid sweet Christy was the absolute last straw. GOD does not like ugly.

I disliked Jenna from the beginning, loathed her even more when she treated Christy so badly, and now all I can think of are hateful, nasty things to say about her.
However, I don't think I can top what Rissa said. Perfect.

Jenna and Heidi reminds me of Chiara and Tonya. The exact same attitude and sense of entitlement. They started getting pretty ugly towards the end as well.

I can't really defend her anymore after last night. I actually found myself liking Heidi more than her. And I found it interesting how the rest of the group sees her. It hurt her feelings, but she's obviously done some things more Heidi-like than Heidi ever did that we didn't see.

Yes, Maris ~ That says it exactly ~ the Chiara and Tonya SENSE OF ENTITLEMENT!! Didn't you all just love the look on Jenna's face when she was voted most likely to not survive on her own! ROTFL!

And about these rumors of Jenna and Matthew being in the final two ~ there are only two votes on the jury for Jenna, being Heid and Alex. Can't wait to hear Jenna's entitlement speech before the final vote. Even with the crying "my mother is sick" crap, which you know she will do . . they ain't gonna fall for it. At least I hope not. I'm really glad to hear that Jeff says we will like the ending. That means it's either Matthew or Christy to win. Right now, I think Matthew is the most deserving but that never seems to mean much in the end of this game. And yes ~ I, too, will remove all objects from the tv room in case the ••••• from I'm-a-Princess-Land wins.

For Jenna, I guess going on Survior was much more important than being home with mom. Feel sorry for her, not! I'm sorry her mom has cancer, but I have no sympathy for Jenna and the poor little me pity party thing Heidi seems to have gotten sucked in to.

Christy could have said no to Jeff when he asked if he could auction off another letter. I think it was quite generous of her to say OK considering how these two <lc> have treated her.

Thank you Rob for getting Alex the boot. I hope Jenna or Heidi, goes out next week followed by the other the following week. I don't want either of them to wind up in the final 4 much less the final 2.

Is it me or is Jeff flirting with Jenna -- I think he has the hots for her.......

I think he's taken in by her as well... I really, really think so.

Another letter for bidding was crap..... What if Christy would have said no... yeah that would have went over well....

Jeff might as well have handed it over to Jenna with out the bidding.....

I do not care for this girls attitude - she appears (with the editing we've seen)to be one of those that always thinks she's better than everyone else -- she's a power taker -
Gotta wonder what she's like in real life outside of the game -- I hope this is the extreme side of her showing now......

JKM, Jeff is usually able to see people pretty clearly. Maybe he is seeing a side of her that we are not being shown? You are the second person to comment on this, though. Someone else commented in the spoiler thread on his apparent soft spot for Jenna. Hmmmmmm....

Look at it this way, unless Jeff was allowed to bring his own honey with him to the Amazon, he's got to be lonesome and feeling flirtatious by the 30-day point, so I think he's hitting on Jenna. I'm not saying that I think he is showing good judgment or taste in doing so, but I do think it's obvious that he likes Jenna.

Excuse me, I have to go spit in the sink, brush my teeth, and then gargle!!

Odd, I see his (Jeff's) manner to her at times like a parent towards a spoiled child.

His comments to her at the immunity challenge did not seem particularly positive, nor was the expression on his face. The letter thing just sucked. To say no would have been like painting a bulls-eye on Christy's forehead. It should have been just left.

Does this mean from now on in all future Survivors all you need to do is cry to get your way? This to me was such an unfair advantage giving Jenna an additional boost along with getting a shower, food etc with Dave, then coffee et al with Alex and then her own way with the auction, when all Christy has got from her has been a snot attitude, crikey, she did not even thank her, give her a hug nothing. Too bad her parents did not have another child, it may have been beneficial in teaching her the value of sharing, compassion etc and other life lessons she obviously hasn't had. And yes I know there are tons of only children who are well balanced positive people, it just might have helped make Jenna a more well rounded person. She genuinely does not seem to remotely care about how her behaviour affects anyone, she must live by the philosphy that the world revolves around her versus the sun. I re-watched Thursdays show again with my husband, and sure enough she did say to Alex, Heidi and Rob, you can play and win this game without hurting anyone in this group of four. It is a game people will feel betrayed etc no matter what, but really, her behaviour considering how she vilified Deena and will tear a strip off Rob all for being selfish! Pot, kettle???

Good points, Jasper.

Wouldn't that be something if he really was just trying to take some of the wrath off of Christy?

Jenna comes across as extremely self-centered. I'm sure Jeff is not oblivious to that fact.

I would like to jump on the "I don't like Jenna" bandwagon, too. But I would like to remark on her age - 21. I forget how old Robb was last season but I remember a lot of excuses being made for him because he was so young. Why are we not making the same concessions for Jenna.

On the other hand, her dear buddy Heidi is older, a college graduate and a professional working with children. She concerns me a lot more than Jenna.

Finally, swimsuit model? Give me a break. Are we expected to believe that is how she earns her living. I have no doubt she has been paid to model a bathing a suit here and there but as pretty as she is, she is just not in the league of women who earn their living that way.

I wonder what Dairy Queen or Gap she really works at. No offense intended to anyone who works at these establishments. Just offense to someone who can't admit it.

Good point Hermi, that maybe JEff offering the letter was a benefit to Christy (altho it irks me that Jenna was given the letter). I never even thought about that, but it makes sense.

I agree Jasper that JEff does seem to look at JEnna like a spoiled child. (My dog's name is Jasper btw).

Jenna is not coming across as likable. Like many here I have tried to like her because of the spoilers, but if Probst thinks she's likeable, I'd be surprised.

Monday, April 28, 2003 - 10:39 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Gidget, good point that some people excused Robb's behavior because of his age, but no one is excusing Jenna's. Actually I think Ms. Bat has pointed out awhile back that Jenna is very young and she gives her more sympathy for that.

As someone who did see a lot of Robb's behavior as coming from his youth and immaturity, I should be kinder to Jenna. I am way too emotionally invested in Christy to be able to cut Jenna much slack. Jenna brings up too many bad memories of how I have sometimes been treated by people because of being different.

Brenda1966

Monday, April 28, 2003 - 10:45 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Somehow I don't think Jenna's sense of entitlement will disappear with age or maturity. I think that's why we're not cutting her much slack.

I liked Robb last season. It's been so long ago I don't recall much about him, but I don't recall any kind of "I'm better", "I'm so much more deserving" attitude that Jenna has. It's just remarkable how little regard she has for the "lesser" people.

Hermione69

Monday, April 28, 2003 - 10:51 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Good way of putting it, Brenda. Maybe that is it. Robb just seemed like a big, overly emotional goofball with a huge case of "foot in mouth" disease. Jenna seems really unkind and condescending to anyone not in her favor.

Hermione69-
Have you ever watched the movie "Revenge of the Nerds"? The fact is probably 98% of the population has been abused by the 2% cool group. You don't have to have a specific disability to suffer their abuse although it will certainly put you at the top of the list.
The great part is the cool people are usually the "good looking" people as well. And since they invest so much of their personalities in their looks, once they reach about 27 or 28 years old, their remaining years are very unhappy IMHO.

Hermione69

I know the movie, of course, but I don't think I have ever seen it.

I was never a cool person. LOL!

My sister was. She was part of the cool crowd in middle school and in high school. And her group was pretty mean to many people. As a 35-year old mom, she admits it wholeheartedly and is ashamed by it now. Maybe Jenna will be one day. Of course, my sister was also a major follower. She was never the instigator or the ringleader, but she went along with what everyone came up with it just to stay cool.

It is so funny because my sister and I just talked about this yesterday (being part of the cool clique), and it wasn't even piggybacking on Survivor! It just came up!

Think about what it is like at most class reunions. The ugly ducklings who have morphed into swans are the ones we are flabbergasted by. The bullies and the princesses have usually faded in power a great deal.

In my pursuit of coolness in high school, the boys I would never have looked at twice are now the ones I most wish I had dated!
