Twiggyish: Not sure about the looks, but yep, he's a bit full of himself like Mike Boogie... hehe

My daughter thinks your right... she said a headband is all he needs to be the Booger.

Mike Boogie, the most remembered reality television show contestant in the history of reality television. Yay Boogie!

Won't surprise me the least little bit if Jon turns out to be this season's Belly's bartender.

I haven't been following all the outside the show talk about the Survivor contestants this year as well as I should have. Do we know yet which one was recruited at Belly's?

I don't think so Juju.
But then again, I haven't been looking closely.

Someday, I'll actually go to Belly's..
I need to see this Reality Show Contestant Producing Machine..

Neko, soon as you get legal, you can go to the 4th annual Southern California TVCH get together.

So far Jon reminds me of a pubescent boy anxious to ingratiate himself with his teammates by bragging just like the 12-year-old new kid on the block often does. And like that new kid he didn't fool anyone but himself. Contrary to his own selfesteem, I doubt that his "smarts" are located north of his waistline.
Memories of Boogie indeed.

Jon said,"I've got a million dollars that says she won't end up in the final two," or something to that effect. What a nitwit. But again editing could be misleading us all. He might have some of those folks really buffaloed.

Okay so we have this survivor pool at work and the last three years I've picked real contenders..like last year I got Big Ted. I can't believe this year I got JON...But it's possible he is so obnoxious that he could win..lol

Earthmother: You just never know, Jon is being shown in a very poor light, but that just might be the way the producers want him to appear... hehe

However, I am going to be stocking up on Kleenex next time I go to Sam's Club.... I'll have plenty when you need them... hehe

Good thinking about the Boogie connection. He musta' had his light blue, leather basketball, chilltown outfit tucked in his personal bags. I'll look forward to seeing it at the jury. hehehehehe.

EarthMother, Jon is a 'winner' in one sense of the word. ;-)

I see the comparison in the over-the-top behavior and arrogant attitude, but I think that Jon is worse. He seems less intelligent and less loyal than Mike. I also think I could tolerate Boogie in real life (since I think he played up his "character" on BB2 and is a little more normal outside of the show), but Jon would drive me up the wall.

I feel really weird giving Mike "compliments" by saying he's better than Jon. Of course, anyone's really better than Jon, but still...weird.

He acts a lot like Mike Boogie, but do any of you think he resembles the actor Owen Wilson? My husband and I think he is a dead ringer for him. (Owen Wilson has appeared in movies such as The Royal Tenenbaums, Shanghai Nights, and Armageddon)

Yes, I can see it.

OMG... yep, Ilovethecoach, you are right.. he does look like him. I had to see the picture so I could remember who Owen Wilson was.

Thanks for the picture Twiggyish.

I read spoilers before the show started that said Jeff has admitted to really disliking Jon. Now, I don't know if they are true, but he kinda tore him a new one last night.

Lorry

Tishala, Jeff has admitted before that there were other survivors he just could not deal with (didn't like in the least. hehe)... I think the getting drunk (or the faking being drunk) that Jon did, just made Jeff ticked off.

Gotta' agree w/ Jeff on this one. Jon drives me nuts! (He and Burton/Shawn act like my sophomore boys! GROW UP!) I'm all for having fun and being silly...but his version of it annoys me to no end!

Hmmm....Maybe it's like someone on the other thread mentioned (sorry, can't remember who)....Maybe I just don't like him because I'm (while not old) at least well beyond those mid-twenty years!

I have to admit to a very active dislike for Jon so far. his attitude and arrogance tire me quickly. I am waiting to see if he does something to turn my opinion around.

I disagree Tishala, I think Jeff was VERY diplomatic last night with Jon and went very easy on him. I don't think what he did say phased Jon at all.

Question here, Since Jon was arrested for a DUI and supposedly put on 3 years probation in 2002, would he even be allowed to drink or even fake drinking? (I am pretty sure that most terms of a DUI probation include not drinking/no alcohol)but unsure if that is for all cases.

Does anyone know what the laws are in California concerning this? I'm not saying that this is the lie, but curious since part of something Jeff Probst said in an interview was "There's ... a very, very regrettable event that happens, and the person to whom it happens is going to regret it ... more than they have any idea right now," he says. "I couldn't believe it when it happened, and I can't wait for it to play out."

When I looked at the interview, the lie and the regrettable incident seemed to be 2 separate things.

I've never heard of no drinking being a term of probation for DUI. Only no drinking and driving. In any state. And I practice law in California. Good lord, you would have to be a pretty serious offender to have that kind of freedom restraint put on you. Millions of people get DUI's who don't have a drinking problem. Sometimes problem drinkers are ordered into AA type groups, but even that is frowned upon by constitutional lawyers. I remember Tommy Lee being ordered not to go to bars, but that was unrelated and sort of strange.

Of, course Madelane is right, not drinking at all is not a part of the three years probation that is automatically imposed on drivers convicted of dui in ca. I did see a case where a woman was convicted of dui with her children in the car (child endangerment). She got 90 days in jail, three years probabion with the added provision that she not consume alcohol any where any time, that she not enter a liquor store or establishment that served alcohol, that she not have alcolol in her home or go into a home where there was alcohol, that she never be in possession of alcohol, be with anyone in possession of alcohol.

Sorry for such a long OT post, but I did find this case to be interesting.

Re the Jon/Boogie thing, does anyone know if it is possible that Jon is part of that crowd? Is there an "Outside the House" kinda place at survivor?

Well, since it is out in the open: I may be mistaken, but I believe that Jon's police record was instigated by a drug-related incident. (It was Ryan O who drove drunk across several lawns...)

In which case, Tasia, the 'regret' quote may easily apply to Jon –since he was possible violating his terms of probation by being drunk.

(By the way, Crista has the most 'notorious' police record: both drug-related and for obstruction of the police: she sat on the roof of her car –and verbally attacked the poilice– when an attempt was made to tow it....)

Enigma2

Monday, October 13, 2003 - 03:05 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Sorry, the above post is incorrect:

Jon's arrest was not drug related. It was for DUI and without insurance. He was in jail for 2 days; he is currently within his 3 yrs. probation; he paid fines; he was ordered into an alcohol rehabilitation program.

Christa was only arrested on the police obstuction charge. (However, there seem to be extensive records of attempts via the internet to purchase 'meth' & cocaine. (Ryan S. also seems have tried to connect with 'acid' via the internet)

(The Ryan O. DUI is correct)

If I am going to 'gossip,' I figure that it is only fair to be accurate about it. Again, sorry.

One additional bit: all of the above was released by CBS. CBS also said that all of the survivors were given drug tests –and all were negative. (They mentioned that one of their 'finalists' tested positive –and was rejected...)

I've been mulling over Jon's antics on the show and I've come to the conclusion that Survivor is just another 'gig' for him.

He knows he will get tremendous 'exposure'...lmao...from being on the 7th Edition, so I think he feels no matter how far he gets in the game,he is just going to 'play' his Jonny Fairplay role, going so far as to show up at Tribal Council drunk or acting that way and so disrespecting Jeff Probst and the proceedings.

He wants to make himself a 'memorable' figure, who will stand out above all the other contestants we have long forgotten....perhaps along the lines of Will on BB...he was one character I truly detested.

Anyway...that's how I'm 'reading' him now.

Good thought Rupert! He probably figures he will make more than 1 million in the long run.

He could make that million playing Harpo if they ever make a movie of the life story of the Marx Brothers.

No, I don't think even Jon would make himself look as lame as Mike Boogie. Jon would not seriously take himself as a rapper. Jon maybe a stoner and like to goof on people but he's not in lamo heaven with Mike Boggie. Mike Boogie had every rapper in South Central laughing their butts off. As for the Johnny Fairplay thing, Tailand winner Brian was an ex-porn actor, what's that about?

Pamy, maybe he could get a gig on a commercial for 'planned parenthood'...don't let THIS (him) happen to you!

Oh Adven...eeek...Harpo was always my favourite Marx Brother. Jon would 'defile' the role....lol lol lol.

Yeah, Pascalle...it was both painful AND embarrassing to watch Mike doing his 'rapper thang' on BB. He didn't even look right in the clothes...;)
