christa

Born and raised in Ojai, California, Christa Hastie currently lives in Los Angeles and is engaged to be married to a racecar driver. She is employed as a computer programmer. As a child, she worked as a model requiring her to travel to Tokyo and the Bahamas. During high school and college, she worked as a lifeguard for four years. She is most proud of earning a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of California, Irvine, although she believes her real education comes from living life and diving into any and all opportunities. Her favorite hobbies include creating and designing websites, software and database applications, turning wrenches on her fiancé's race car and sewing fun and unique clothes. She describes herself as chameleon-like (she claims she can fit in anywhere), extroverted and genuine. She is a member of the Sports Car Club of America so she can be a member of her fiancé's pit crew when he races. She considers her late father to be her hero as he taught her that the most important things in life were to love, laugh and live. She was once arrested for a misdemeanor and charged with "disrupting an officer's ability to perform his duties." While in college, she hopped on her car and refused to get off the hood when she discovered it was in the process of being towed. She believes she's an asset to her tribe on SURVIVOR: PEARL ISLANDS because her food making skills will prove helpful to her tribe. Her birth date is November 6, 1978.

She does seem adaptable- her favorites and her activites are pretty across the board. So far so good with her- nothing in her bio made me cringe :)

she loves decorating shows, so she's alright with me for now.

Martha Stewert? Oh no! And a Lakers fan too. I want to root for her, but will not do so with the favorites she's listed. Even if she does like Nietzche.

I saw a reference to this Smoking Gun article on alt.tv.survivor. It seems a little weak -- it looks like someone spent a few minutes doing a Google Groups search.

Yes, I'm hesitant to brand her a druggie based on some emails. Still, the Smoking Gun is quite good at what they do. Don't understand why CBS doesn't hire them!

I wish I hadn't read that stuff that someone Googled up. I rather just judge people on what they do on the show. Snort, now I'm crabby.
I'm going to be on her side because I think she has been branded unfairly.

Look for me to go with anyone who is the underdog. (Just my nature and I suppose I'll never change)

she has the most annoying voice to me. it sounds like a bullfrog talking through its nose. she is sort of 'beige' so far. this is the gal that wanted to score drugs in college? hard to believe.
not liking her too much, but not because of TSG's reports. she seems like a complainer. this is all early, however, so she could end up higher on the 'like list' later.

I agree, something is wrong with her voice. It's like she has a perpetual cold or something.

I diagnosed a deviated septum. But I'm no doctor, but what do I know?

I agree, her voice was annoying, but I warmed to her personality a bit during the show. My sister said (and I agreed) that she seemed a bit reminiscent of Kelly from Africa, who I really liked.

I thought it was cool of her to rip up her dress so that Hagar could air his family jewels.

I thought that was nice too. I admit that I couldn't stand her from her audition tape, and the voice has a role in that I'm afraid.

I'll get over the voice if I end up liking the personality.

I didn't like her from the audition tape either. She's got that Valley Girl sort of way of talking. It sounds like she is imitating a skater dude. I didn't hate her as much as I thought I would, but it's early on. I bet I'll be sorry when she finally goes.

Not1, you've hit the problem right there: it's something about the pacing and inflection of Christa's manner of speech that makes her so annoying! She seems to whine and complain, too.

I like that she seems to always smile. "Hager" is my fav so this girl got hi-5's from me when she shared her dress.

i have to say she was very gracious about 'pillaging' from morgan. you could tell she really did worry about what they had left to cook with, etc.

Pannie

Yea, what Tabby said. I'm glad they showed her vulnerable side: like worrying about the Morgan's questions about her team. That's a contrast to her powerhouse of strength in the competitions.

I didn't care for all the hugging, but she was a much more gracious pirate than Sandra. She was genuinely concerned for them. I thought Andrew was ridiculous to be trying to ask her about who would be booted from their tribe. Just 'cause she's taking your stuff doesn't mean she's obligated to answer your blatantly obvious attempts at gathering information. She should have just looked at him and said "Yeah, right".

Lancecrossfire

Not, I agree that she wasn't obligated to answer--and I can't fault Andrew for trying. I'd actually be disappointed if, in the process of playing a game, a competitor didn't try to gain something any time they saw a chance.

I think he was asking a question that would only help later on when some type of merger or switch happened. Basically looking for a person who might be on the outside so they could try and win them over. I saw it as a reasonable effort--and her response was perfect for not giving them any information.

I didn't fully explain myself, I didn't have a problem with Andrew asking questions either. It was the interrogating, obvious way he did it. No finesse at all. I think Christa was one who would have spilled some info if the right person asked. She felt so awful about pillaging, if they'd killed her with kindness she might have given stuff away. Problem was, there isn't much to tell from Drake right now. Jon's an idiot, but Morgan can probably figure that out. Oh wait, I just remembered who I'm talking about, maybe they can't.
