On March 1, TLC is airing a special Baby's Story in primetime, with Vee from Survivor.

Here's the description:

"You won’t find this former Survivor on the All-Star special. Former contestant Vecepia (Vee) Robinson says her experiences on the hit reality series prepared her for an even bigger challenge – motherhood. In this one-hour A BABY STORY primetime special, follow along as Vecepia updates viewers on her life since being named the sole survivor and winner of Survivor: Marquesas. She’s renovated her home, found love on-line and is now ready to introduce her baby boy to the world!"

Love online? With anyone from TVCH? Hee

[Edited to say I know this isn't about All Stars, so please forgive me in advance for posting this here -- I just thought it might be interesting!]

found love on-line? i thought she was married to a guy named leander when she was on. oh well. i don't think she deserved the survivor win, and now she'll probably make money on a baby story. good for her, i guess, but i'll pass.

yawn :-)

I'm looking forward to seeing her on A Baby Story. And I thought Vee was as deserving of the win as anyone else. She did what she had to and was rewarded for it with the win.

I agree Essence. I was never a big fan of hers, but she was at least deserving as:

- the cocky 'Rotu 4"
- arrogant Robfather
- angry Shawn
- the judge whose refusal to vote out his 'friend let to his dismissal
- and of course the utterly admirable "I just had a fantastic dinner but didn't bring anything for you - do you all want to take turns sucking on this after-dinner mint out of my mouth?" Neleh

I think Vee gets to much blame for her deal to get into Final 2, but people forget that Kathy had already been disqualified, and Vee had no way of knowing if Neleh would choose to take her if Vee screwed up. She insured herself a spot in Final 2 and won. That's deserving.

I agree, Pantageas. All in all, they were very unlikable.
I keep remembering especially two things about Vee:
1. She and Sean and Robfather doing absolutely nothing in the beginning and then voting off everyone who was working hard and showing some ambition.
2. Upon hearing she won, she screamed "Thank you Jesus" and fell into a swoon. That thanking-Jesus stuff is so inappropriate in a situation where there are likely to be lots of people of other faiths. There have been lots of others, of course, but we are talking about Vee here.

Everyone has the right to their own faith and to acknowldge when where they see fit. She was giving praise and that has nothing to do with everyone else or their faith.

I don't understand what the love on line is supposed to mean. I found an article and from this article is seems that she is still married to Leander and it's his baby.

I like Vee, was happy she won, and still don't understand people's arguments that she didn't deserve it. I always felt she played a better game than most people gave her credit for playing. I also never felt she owed Kathy anything. When it was F5, Kathy chose to align with Neleh and Pappy against Vee and Sean. Vee is supposed to stay loyal to her to the point of losing after that just because Kathy switched back to Vee at F4? Nuh uh. Don't think so. I liked Kathy, too, but didn't get people's condemnation of Vee for the F2 deal against her. Vee did what she had to do to get there and it worked. More power to her. I hope she and Leander are happy and I wish them the best of luck with the baby.

I also don't remember her doing nothing along with Rob and Sean. In fact, I thought she tried hard to blend in and help Rotu so they wouldn't target her next. I even remember a confessional in which she was talking about trying not to rock the boat the way Sean and Rob were. I think she got lumped with them unfairly. Rob totally plucked my nerves that season (so it is rather hilarious that I am rooting for him in Adven's game!) and as soon as he was voted off, I found Sean to behave like a different person. Kind of the way I actually liked Jenna M. that last episode of S6 when there was no Heidi around. I grew to like Sean so much after Rob left and that I was totally pulling for him to win. I still remember Sean on that horse when he won the RC with Pappy-- so funny!

Sorry for the reminiscences. I actually loved S4!! I thought it was a great season and it was really the only one where I was happy with the winner until S7 and Sandra. Once Sean was gone, I was for Vee all the way and was thrilled with how it played out.

I'm looking forward to watching her on this show. I'm so happy for her and her husband. This is a blessed event.

Catfat, I take offense to your "that thanking Jesus stuff" comment. You say it was inappropriate of her to say that in a situation where there are people of other faiths... I say that was inappropriate of you. You just offended my faith. So just as it was your prerogative to make that post, it was Vee's to thank Jesus.

Anyway, I totally agree with you Hermi. Next to Pearl Islands, Marquesas is my favorite Survivor. It was a great series. And next to Sandra, Vee is my favorite winner.

just curious...would there be this discussion if Vecepia had praised Allah? or Buddah? or her mother or father?

Is it inappropriate for oscar winners to thank their family, friends, directors or anyone else whom they felt were instrumental in them achieving success?

I don't understand how thanking someone you felt helped you would be "offensive" to anyone else.

But then again, I am mostly out of the loop.

Seems to me that some people just look for an opportunity to argue.

Well I have read this thread and I am betting she wont be screaming praise for Jesus when she is in the delivery room.

Hey now...Catfat is as justified in calling Vee's comments inappropriate as Vee is in considering them appropriate. And as someone raised by a Jehovah's Witness mother, I know firsthand sometimes people who are zealous in ANY belief/thought process/rationale can be a bit blinded to the fact that not everyone wants to hear them profess their dedication on a regular basis. Still no harm/no foul for either viewpoint.

And I agree w/Hermione69 - Vee played a pretty smart game. Some people may think of her as lazy in the beginning, industrious later on, and double-dealing at Final 3. But do they ever think that Vee worked to make sure she was in the good graces of the voting majority every time she went to Tribal Council? That meant:

- lazing w/the slackers when the Robfather was dominant
- making sure Rob and Sean were the primary targets of the Rotu 4 upon the merge
- joining the W.O.T.E. alliance to unseat the Rotu 4
- downplaying alliance w/Sean when numbers were against him at Final 5
- making deal to insure her place in Final 2

The only time Vee when into Tribal Council without numbers on her side was when she went into Final 4, and refused to join Pappy and Neleh in voting out Kathy(and IIRC, Vee had immunity that round!). And she had 50/50 odds going into that vote, with the ending probability being 2 out of 3 that if she held her ground, one of the people outside her alliance (Pappy/Neleh) would be gone.

I think it anyone gives credit to Sandra for her winning strategy(anybody but me), but discredits Vee, they are being disingenuous.
