Hobbs | Friday, December 12, 2003 - 07:15 am     After watching her win her 3rd challange with no problems, I'm wondering if she is really that good and was holding back until she had to win. She could be a super athletic tomboy Ellie Mae Clampet type that used to wrastle the boys, gators and bears. She knew she could take 'em all in the end. She just had to sit back and wait it out. Nobody in the world saw her as a threat. I'm just wondering out loud. By the way, did you catch that shot of her smiling ear to ear after the IC? It was pricless. |
Badabing | Friday, December 12, 2003 - 07:18 am     Well Hobbs, i'm starting to think she was holding back and that that was actually her game plan. If it was, she fooled me, and more power to her. You got that right about the smile : PRICELESS ! |
Shewho | Friday, December 12, 2003 - 07:20 am     Hobbs: Thank goodness there is at least one gal who was able to show the men they were not guaranteed IC winners. Furthermore Darrah did this 3 consecutive times. Not sure whether she has been holding back or just got really motivated. Watch out Jon...D just might do you in. Luv it!!! |
Kaili | Friday, December 12, 2003 - 07:20 am     I have been thinking about that for a few weeks...that she was holding out until there were few enough people that she realy needed to start winning. She's winning immunities pretty easily (with her little hands)- did you see others trying to smoosh their hands down after she was able to? Yep- saw that smile. It was cute- she has grown on me a lot since she's getting more air time. She still isn't talking a lot or really making decisions, but I think she may just be keeping her plans more to herself and going along with the flow whenever possible. |
Hobbs | Friday, December 12, 2003 - 07:21 am     Remember Survivor 1. Kelly got 2nd by winning a bunch of IC's at the end. |
Watching2 | Friday, December 12, 2003 - 07:25 am     Kaili- My husband was talking about what guys at work were saying and it was mentioned you never saw or heard anything of Darrah in the beginning so like myself, it's taken time to even notice her let alone like her! I'm rooting for her all the way now! I think she's played a smart game. She seemed like no threat to the others and she hasn't made anyone angry and now she's showing just what's she got to win those IM challenges! I loved her smile - it was priceless! |
Cablejockey | Friday, December 12, 2003 - 07:25 am     I found it amusing that after winning 2 consecutive immunities, the guys still discounted her so much, they were planning to get rid of Darrah last night---they didnt even consider she would win IC. |
Zules | Friday, December 12, 2003 - 07:43 am     I am liking Darrah more and more. I believe that due to editing, we didn't see much of her before now. With colorful characters like Rupert, Jon and Sandra, it's tough competition for airtime. However, she's proving to be a formidable competitor with 3 ICs in a row under her belt. If I'm not mistaken, when three girls were together last night, she was the first one to voice the idea of getting rid of Burton. The girl is coming right out of her shell - look out! |
Lori | Friday, December 12, 2003 - 08:07 am     I too am appreciating Darrah more and more. I think she did deliberately hold back until she needed to win. She played the game under the radar for sure and now is truly coming on! |
Puzzled | Friday, December 12, 2003 - 08:22 am     After she won that RC for Jon and Lil, I figured she was a super athlete. LOL--Burton realised that she was a strong competitor and wanted her booted, but then left the women together. Like Cablejockey said, those noodle heads never considered she would win immunity again. Haaaahaaaahaaa. |
Maris | Friday, December 12, 2003 - 10:14 am     I was never crazy about Darrah but facts are facts and winning all those immunity challenges, it looks like she has turned it on because she had to and that makes her a great player. She and Sandra are my favorites so far. |
Juju2bigdog | Friday, December 12, 2003 - 11:15 am     I think MB just woke up this season and decided since she is going to win this thing, he better do some better editing to make her look more like a winner, so he doesn't leave a sour taste in the viewers' mouths with a nonentity winner like he did with Vecepia and Jenna. |
Maris | Friday, December 12, 2003 - 11:18 am     I think Mark has a little Burton in him. He always seems to discount the women except for the Jerri types and then whammo, they win the thing. |
Beagle | Friday, December 12, 2003 - 04:52 pm     Darrah's a real player. Winning so many IC in a row is what's going to win her the game in the end.

Texasdeb | Friday, December 12, 2003 - 05:09 pm     I think Darrah must win this next IC to prevent a plank. Being the only F4 surv. to have even won an IC makes her now the biggest threat to win the final IC. I think the other 3 will look at it as having a more level playing field in the final IC with Darrah gone. |
Allietex | Friday, December 12, 2003 - 08:34 pm     I think the game is wide open from now on. There are no real alliances left. Everyone is going to be out for number one and that is the way I like it. I hate the stuff like Coby and Tina. The person who wins the last immunity challenge should be able to chose the one that gives them best chance of winning unless they made a deal during the challenge itself to win. I can't wait for Sunday. I think I am going to take my phone off the hook so no one will call me during the show. |
Azriel | Saturday, December 13, 2003 - 06:10 am     I have really mixed feelings about Darrah. I feel like I have to give her credit for her last three wins, but then again what comps did she win? The first was the spelling game. There were only three people left in the game when she won. Yes, all the people ahead of her made one mistake so they didn't actually win, but they sure thought of a lot more correctly spelled words than her in less time. The second challenge was a shooting match. I'll give her kudos for winning that one, I guess. The third challenge she won because her hand was smaller than everyone else's. It's just kind of hard for me to get all WOOHOO! over that win. |
Lauram | Saturday, December 13, 2003 - 07:00 am     Az: Those were my thoughts exactly. She isn't saying much. (except perhaps chocolate chip cookies and a boob job) And, the challenges she has won were well the spelling game (others had more correct. She got in by a mistake) and the shooting match yah she rocked, but that one was tailored made for her. Then the water challenge, would she have been so good if she actually had to pour the water into the tube. I don't think so. |
Lorry | Saturday, December 13, 2003 - 08:41 am     I like Darrah... If Sandra does not win, then I'm ok with Darrah... anyone except Jon or Lil...lol The editing has been less then great this season. |
Allietex | Saturday, December 13, 2003 - 01:14 pm     Wait a minute, she got in by a mistake in the spelling contest? She did not win on a technicallity. She won because she made the required number of words first without a mistake. Burton had one wrong. Everyone else had one wrong. It was Jeff's goof that made it seem that Burton won. He still missed one. Darrah did not. The shooting was a great competition. I admit she had an advantage during the last IC, but who would have imagined that anyone could force their hand down that tube. Probably even she would not if it had not been for the weight loss. And what about the challenges that required strength and endurance, she was at a great disadvantage in those, and there were a lot more of those than the ones that favored her. |
