This guy cracks me up. Every time I see him do his little skip as he is going off to vote, I just laugh and laugh. He gets that twinkle in his eye and I don't think he takes himself as seriously as most of the viewers seem to. I think he is fully aware of how obnoxious he is and plays it up.

He's cocky and arrogant and irritating, and I think the show is so much more entertaining with him on it.

I also like that he obviously works hard around camp. It shows a side of him that most people don't want to credit. If he was lazy and did nothing, I probably wouldn't care for him so much.

This folder will probably stay pretty bare, but I'd like a place to come and enjoy his antics because every other thread out there puts him down!

Go Jon!

I don't like him, but you are right I think he is a hard worker around the camp and that means alot. I would much rather someone like him win than someone who apparently (according to editing) just lays around, like Ti and Darrah seem to do.

I like the Jon entertainment value from the comfort of my living room. I can only imagine what the other survivors have to deal with as they don't have an editing button...

I think Herm has a point.. he most likely doesn't take himself too seriously. I know I don't take him seriously, but I think he goes a little too far sometimes. His kinda "humor" is best in small doses...

But I too enjoy his twinkling eyes and mischievous smile...

This Surivor has been my favorite - and Jon's definately a part of the formula making it such a success in my opinion.

Oh put me down as a Jon fan... for sure. The guy is all about wrestling, putting on a show, playing the obnoxious bad guy.... but he works his butt off around the camp, provides much entertainment... and he makes me laugh out loud.

Hope his little butt is booted... hehe

I have to support Hermione because it takes guts sometimes to start a fan thread on an unpopular player.

When the previews for next week show Jon ONCE AGAIN plotting and scheming, I was LMAO! This guy just won't go quietly along with his alliance and hope for the best. Butch from last season comes to mind, he was like watching mud dry.

From all the spoiler info I have read, Jon is a hard worker around camp. MB has not shown this and it is a reminder to all casual viewers that an opinion formed from just watching the show isn't always how things really went down out there on any given season.
When asked about him, the Drake bootees all said that Jon provided much needed entertainment for them out there. The boredom is something that has been talked about by all past participants in all seasons.

I wish I could get the Insider because reading the transcript this morning, it sounds like Jon was a hoot acting as the minister at Christa's 'wedding'
(plus, I always have to chuckle when his actions prompt Sandra to say 'Jon is such as ASS!' lol

Webkitty, man, I bet he was so funny as the minister at the mock wedding!! I would have loved to have seen that! He is definitely not a boring person!

I'm not a Jon fan, but do agree that he has a big part in making the show more exciting. I just cannot get over the way he kicked the Morgan tribe in the gut when they were already down on the ground and still being nice to him.

I'm a fan for the reasons already mentioned. I'd like to see Lil, Burton and Jon buddy up and see what kind of havvock these three can stir up.

If nothing else Jon is good TV.

I for one love to dislike the guy (hate is such a strong word) but he does help the show,I count on him going to the final 2,only because anyone who's up against him in the end will win.

Lorry

Friday, November 07, 2003 - 04:41 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
I don't think so Tigerfan... you know, after the bad press Jenna got, and Jun in BB4, I think that IF.. (capital letters if you please..hehe) the show is able to be FIXED or MANIPULATED even the littlest bit, the producers will make sure Jon does not win.

I don't think that's fair... not at all, but I have to think that the producers do indeed influence some of the voting... to a small degree.

Maybe not outright... but with subtle hints... info about something Jon said privately... who knows???

I'd be surprised if Jon won... and not a bit upset.. although I sure want Rupert or Christa to win.

Bumping just to be obnoxious like Jon, LOL! It's not enough that he's already being put down in 20 different threads, about 5 of which have been created solely for the purpose of doing so, but more seem to be created every day! Even Jenna wasn't that disliked! I'm glad there are a few of us who can enjoy his antics in relative peace and see that underneath all that bluster, he is not a terrible person!

How can you like a guy who says (as the MINISTER!)...."Christa take "Peter" in hand.....because marriage is a sacred ceremony....so sacred it always reminds me of MACARONI & CHEESE...which I always felt was sacred..."

Then again...how can yo NOT kinda like him...LMAO

another bump for the jon-fan-club-thread.

i would much much much rather watch a survivor full of jon's than full of darrah's. so the guy is an ass -- he does make good tv.

i love his performances during TC -- his finger pointing, his smug grin, the little words he writes all over his voting card. and the randy-the-macho-man-savage voice this week was THE BEST EVER.

and you know, several of the drake bootees noted in their exit interviews that jon wasn't really *that* bad. the power of editing, i think, makes this semi-annoying guy into, as rupert put it, johnny-pain-in-the-ass. and i think he annoys JP, which i also find quite amusing.

i think jon has a great career ahead of him as a manager in professional wrestling. (i can't say i see him as an actual wrestler).

go jon!

one theme that runs through all these posts (and on every topic under "survivor") is 'editing'. wouldn't you love to have 24/7 viewing as they do with BB? it's too bad this show isn't done 'live', so we could have that option.
we all saw from BB how editing can totally change how a player is perceived. last year, my sister thought chiara was a sweet girl, because she never saw any of the 24/7 cameras and never read any boards. she saw only the aired episodes.

Ok I will give this much on Jon, there is always a positive in everyone so let's see, it could be editing that makes me love to hate him or not.
He is a very good worker around camp and I agreed with him in his troubles with Shawn. Yes he is very smart in trying to get rid of Rupert ( Rupert is one of my favorites). He is probably one of the smartest ones in this game.
There I feel better, I came into this thread and found something nice to say, now I will leave you nice people alone and go back to the evil threads hehehe. I just came here to support Hermione69 because she loves Clay as much as I do.

I agree with those of you who said that you would rather watch someone like Jon rather than those like Darrah. The people on these shows who set my teeth on edge are always the UTR ones who do absolutely NOTHING and manage to skate on in.
I like watching for Jon because I like seeing him get his come-uppance. I couldn't bear being around him in person for more than a minute or two, five at the tops. I think it is his foul mouth and sex talk that gets to me the most.

Add my membership to the club. :) Jon's hilarious and I don't take him seriously at all. When Rupert was yelling at him I felt so bad for him. In their post-exit interviews most of the castoffs had some quasi-nice things to say about him which makes me think there's more to him than editing is allowing us to see. I look forward to survivor each week to see what Jon's been up to! :)

I like him too and agree I would rather watch him than Darrah.

As far as the people who were offended by his role as the minister, all I can say is they gave him that role and they know what he is like! What the heck did they expect?! This JON, folks! If you wanted the mock wedding to be sacred, why the heck did you let him be the minister?! He could have been a ring bearer or something! ROFLMAO! I think that Peter thing is pretty funny! Well, I appreciate those who don't like him coming in here and saying something nice, as well as those few others, who are like me, and think he is a quite a character!

LL, the funny thing is that Clay and Jon are about as opposite as you can get!

CLAY??? Clay who??? Aiken??? I LOVE CLAY AIKEN!!! Invisible....hmmmm..mmm...mmmmm

Always root for the nerds...they will RULE THE WORLD one day!!

Oh yes, Clay Aiken.... I am a HUGE fan, As is LL, and many others around here! It just occurred to me after LL posted how polar opposite Jon and Clay are. How can I like them both, I just don't know!! I will say Clay wins hands down! Jon is amusing to me, Clay, well, there are no words!

Sign me up as a member! After getting use to the guy, I think Jon is a real hoot! I wish MB would always include people with unique personalities. I enjoy his skipping to the vote, all his wrestling innuendos, his yelling at Shawn, and his funny gestures.

I look forward to more weeks of this guy, AND I hope he gets on other shows after this. Yippy-skippy, happy puppy.

CBS scored a home run with casting wise-crackers like Rup, Jon and Sandra.

Hermy--I thought the Clay you were referring to was Clay who was runner up to Brian.
