Missy2 | Friday, November 14, 2003 - 01:04 pm     She seems so quiet, even more so than Ethan from Survivor South Africa! I wonder how far her and T will go... It will suck if she gets voted out and we see NOTHING from her. |
Pamy | Friday, November 14, 2003 - 01:12 pm     What will suck even more is if she wins! From the way she is being edited I am afraid she will be in final 2! |
Lorry | Friday, November 14, 2003 - 01:13 pm     I'm disappointed in how little face time she gets. I would imagine she is a very strong woman. I don't really understand her too well... it's just the accent and not that she's not making sense. I'm glad you created this topic missy... I have been wondering how everyone else felt about Darrah and how she was coming across to you all. I don't know if playing that far under the radar will really work... Rupert seems to be on top of what is going on in the group at all times. Maybe once Rupert is booted by the ladies, we will get to see a little more of her... maybe... I hope.. but I hope Rupert wins... sorry had to say it...lol |
Gen | Friday, November 14, 2003 - 01:37 pm     Pamy, I agree with you - the way we are seeing her or not seeing her makes me afraid that she will be in the F2 and possibly win the whole thing. That I do not want to see! Lorry, for those of you that can't understand her accent, please let me know and I will try to interpret. Us southerners can understand each other. LOL! |
Lumbele | Friday, November 14, 2003 - 01:48 pm     Gen, that thick accent may be one reason why she is getting so little airtime. Survivor is shown all over North America. MB may be afraid that people will tune out if they can't understand what she is saying. Strangely enough I get her quite often, and I'm north of the border with English as a second language.LOL |
Gemma120in2002 | Friday, November 14, 2003 - 01:53 pm     It's a pity that Galactic Cowgirl isn't doing the Survivor Pearl Island cartoons. I loved what she did with Survivor Thailand's Clay. Some people had a hard time understanding his Louisiana accent. Here's my favorite cartoon about Clay. http://www.galacticcowgirl.com/images/s28b.gif |
Lancecrossfire | Friday, November 14, 2003 - 02:08 pm     Hehehe--LOL |
Lorry | Friday, November 14, 2003 - 02:31 pm     Too cute Gemma! Wish she would do some for Survivor... Can you imagine her take on Osten?? Or Lil??? hahahaha |
Missy2 | Saturday, November 15, 2003 - 04:54 am     I love her accent! It would suck if she was in the final 2 without getting to know her - at least a little?! |
Texannie | Saturday, November 15, 2003 - 07:05 am     Maybe I am too Texan or just haven't paid attention, but my thought is..what accent? LOL |
Ddr1135 | Saturday, November 15, 2003 - 07:16 am     LOL, uh....I'm from Southern Louisiana and most of the time I can't understand a word she says. |
Texannie | Saturday, November 15, 2003 - 07:26 am     ROFL!! guess it's me |
Grannyg | Saturday, November 15, 2003 - 07:53 am     well, i'm from mississippi and i understand every word she says. i don't think she has an accent either, tex. |
Texannie | Saturday, November 15, 2003 - 07:57 am     Thank goodness, Granny! ;) |
Ophiliasgrandma | Saturday, November 15, 2003 - 09:20 am     I believe the problem lies more in the nasal quality of her voice rather than the accent. |
Texasdeb | Saturday, November 15, 2003 - 03:34 pm     Ophil is on to something with the nasal statement. I understand everything she says but see how it could be harder for non-southern people. I think it's more her "simple" phrasing of her comments than what she has to say that is throwing some people off. |
Lostintheglades | Thursday, November 20, 2003 - 11:02 am     I don't hear an accent in Darrah's voice either. Sounds normal to me. But then people here think I'm from Georgia or Alabama. They just don't get the fact that Florida is southern and a Florida Cracker sounds just like anyone else from the south. |
Allietex | Thursday, December 04, 2003 - 08:45 pm     I have not been a Darrah fan. Hell, I have hardly noticed her, but I thought I'd give her thread a bump up since she is still in the game. One reason Darrah may be seen as under the radar is because of the editing. We have seen it before. There were more flamboyant and obnoxious characters whose antics demanded most of the air time. There may be a whole lot more to this lady that we have seen. Like tonight, they were talking about how she might win the challenges because she had been a cheerleader. It takes some physical skill to be a cheerleader. And then she goes out and wins a shooting contest without a single miss! That is two challenges in a row. Remember the first season when (can't remember her name) won the last three or four challenges in a row after not winning hardly anything before? If Darrah can pull off a couple more immunity challenges, she could be in the final two. I would not bet against her if she makes the finals. Although she seems to be flying under the radar, she has not pissed off as many people as all the rest have. I am liking her more and more. |
Catfat | Thursday, December 04, 2003 - 10:00 pm     Am I the only one who thinks Darrah looks a LOT like Vanessa Williams? Is Darrah part Afr-Am? I think when she is fixed up, she is very pretty. I would like to see that very large mole removed, though. |
Wilsonatmd | Thursday, December 04, 2003 - 10:11 pm     I do think that Darrah is being edited a little poorly...but there are so many other storylines they had to deal with (from Rupert to the Outcast twist and now Jon's lie) she's been flying under the radar, so a final 2 for her would be considered shocking I think.....also, I think she's has fewer votes against her overall than anyone left....so it shows how good that strategy might go in not making too many waves... |
Seamonkey | Thursday, December 04, 2003 - 11:38 pm     They don't edit in all the blank stares, tho. After Vee and Jenna, I'd hope she wouldn't beat anyone in F2.. but I can see her beating Jon or Lill. |
Honey51 | Friday, December 05, 2003 - 04:33 am     When I saw the challenge tonight, I expexted Darrah to perform well. Darrah is a small town southern girl from Liberty, MS (not far from Baton Rouge, La., my home). In this part of the country, it's a good bet that she could shoot. |
Hermione69 | Friday, December 05, 2003 - 05:53 am     She kicked butt in that IC! Good for her! |
Lycanthrope | Friday, December 05, 2003 - 06:15 am     I didn't like or dislike Darrah for a long time due to her being basically absent from all the main storylines. But now that we've gotten to see her in action a little, playing the game and such, I've decided I like her. She's a competitor, and she knows when to keep her mouth shut(around the women), and when to plot and scheme(with Jon). She's not stupid, like some seem to think, and she seems to have a plan to get to the end. I'm rooting for her now that Christa's gone. |
Ladytex | Friday, December 05, 2003 - 07:00 am     She's not stupid. She seems to have a strategy and it's working well for her. She gathers information from all sides. It seems that she's not ticked anyone off, she's proven that she can hold her own, too. |
