Awareinva | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 10:03 am     UTR Mom? I like her just because I like all the moms who are on the show. She is young enough that she should be able to avoid the "mom" role with the 20-somethings. |
Kaili | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 10:08 am     I bet she should do well, the military background you would think would help her. Plus she's adorable Although I think she has a slight resemblemce to Autumn from BB2. |
Pannie | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 09:57 pm     A mom and a team player - very good traits to start with. She even looks friendly in her smile. |
Lancecrossfire | Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 11:04 am     Not quite sure what to think about her, but the fact she is so high on her mom is very neat! I think she will do well. |
Not1worry | Monday, September 01, 2003 - 06:10 pm     Military people sometimes do the worst - Hunter? The fact that she worked in chemical says that she is fairly smart. We had a section of chemical in my training and it was hard! You have to have a lot of stamina to wear the chemical gear. She or her husband must have been stationed here at Ft. Bragg, since her degree is for the college here. No favorite book? You couldn't think of one? I will root for her even though she works for AAFES and they have the worst, most horrible, most rotten customer service ever. I'll also root for her because she's an ex-Army mom like me. |
Bbfanatic | Tuesday, September 02, 2003 - 09:54 am     seems blah to me. |
Knightpatti | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 06:07 pm     She list alot of food favorites. She is going to get hungry! |
Okiekerriella | Friday, September 12, 2003 - 08:27 am     She kind of reminds me of the actress that played Drucilla on Young and the Restless. |
Crazydog | Friday, September 12, 2003 - 08:53 am     She sounds cool. And I agree, the eyes do look a bit like Drucilla's (Victoria Rowell). |
Not1worry | Friday, September 12, 2003 - 11:04 am     If you go to CBS and watch her audition video, I swear that's my kitchen she's in. Makes sense, we both live in army housing. Kinda weird to see my identical kitchen at another base 3000 miles away. No wonder she wants to be on Survivor, sheesh. I liked her much more after seeing the videos. |
Tabbyking | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 09:07 am     what an advantage to speaking spanish fluently. i was falling down laughing when she said she decided the one seller was wanting trish "sexually" and trish was all snuggled up thinking the lady just thought she had pretty eyes! liking her so far. she helped them get a lot of bang for their bucks. (well, almost the wrong kind for trish!) |
Crazydog | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 09:45 am     I think she's great. She is one of my favorites. I loved the scenes of her shopping. I hope she sticks around for a long time. |
Denecee | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 10:21 am     She's one of my favs. |
Calamity | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 11:06 am     I liked Sandra a lot too. Her team was really lucky to have her while they were in town getting supplies. Tabbyking, you always manage to make me laugh! |
Kaili | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 01:22 pm     I like her too. If you haven't yet, I suggest watching her video bio on the CBS website. She may be a fiesty one too. I loved her in the stores though. |
Prism72 | Friday, September 19, 2003 - 06:29 pm     After watching the first episode, I really like her too. Speaking spanish was a huge plus and an even bigger one were her negotiating skills. Who knows how much her necklace was even worth, but to offer it up for everything this woman had was pretty impressive. |
Texasdeb | Tuesday, September 23, 2003 - 05:18 pm     I like her & think she'll go far in this. IMO she is the "stand out" female player thus far. I can see her & Tyjuana (?) bucking heads if they're ever on the same team or if they both make it to merger. |
Lizadee | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 08:34 pm     I like her more now knowing that her last name is the same as mine GO SANDRA !!!!!! |
Grooch | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 09:16 pm     Lizadee, your last name is Twine? Lol! I like Sandra also. She will make it as far as Rupert will. When the rest don't need their skills anymore to survive, and they are perceived as a threat, they will be gone. But I really do love Sandra's spunk! |
Pannie | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 10:22 pm     I hope that Sandra made more nicey-nice with the Morganites than they showed. Sandra: watch out for karma, and Jeff's tricks - let someone else raid next time. |
Lumbele | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 12:56 pm     Without her Drake wouldn't be in such good shape supply-wise. They owe her big time for that. She was in a very awkward position having to raid Morgan. On one hand she may not have wanted to hurt the other tribe too severely, on the other hand her own tribe still expected her to come back with something worthwhile. What was she to do when there wasn't much of anything to take? And whatever she would have said would have got her the "b" reaction? Can't remember what exactly she did say, but to Morgan it felt like rubbing it in and that may cost her later if she makes it to merger. |
Crazydog | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 01:17 pm     She seemed to expect them to help her take the tarp down. She said something snotty like, oh, I really didn't expect to have to work over here. When they didn't help her, she was going to use their knife to cut all the ropes. I'd have been ticked off too if she was going to cut the rope - the rope needed to be reused when they were rebuilding the shelter. I also thought her attitude at the immunity challenge was snotty. "Oh yes, I really loved being a pirate." That to me was rubbing it in, and completely unnecessary. |
Lancecrossfire | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 01:36 pm     Well, it seems like it should work both ways--for her and for the team she took the tarp from. What do they expect her to do?? They would would take something of value--they should expect it to happen to them--that is the game. If she doesn't take it, her team mates are pissed at her for not going for the best item. The other side of the coin--she sure shouldn't figure they are going to make it easy on her. They are not obligated to help her in any way. She is taking something of theirs, and she should expect them to not like it, nor to make her task easier. So, we may be getting back to something that was discussed in the BB area--folks playing a game, but not taking it as a game--going beyond that and making it personal. (can anyone say Lex) Any type of trash talking on the looter's part will never help either. You go in, do you job by taking what you think is the best item, and don't rub it in. Pay back game wise is one thing--pay back for adding a personal touch just escalates things. |
Crazydog | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 02:05 pm     I agree. Morgan was being nice to her when she first landed. They introduced themselves to her and some of them congratulated her tribe on doing well at the challenge. She could have said something like, I'm really sorry to be taking something which is obviously valuable to you, but that's how the game is played and my tribemates will be upset if I go back with something that is not useful. Instead, she cranks up the bizatch factor by doing the old "oh yeah? well your mamma looks like she got hit by a truck" routine. And I thought after all the cattiness that it was really insincere of her to yell out "no hard feelings" as she left, when it was obvious that she had stirred up quite a number of hard feelings. Then she did it again at the immunity challenge. I'm not liking her so much anymore. Her interviews also, she comes across as very condescending and superior towards her tribemates. |
