SURVIVOR ENTRY – SPOILERS WITHIN You know, I have to say that I really felt sorry for Sue. It was clear that what happened with Richard really bothered her on a deep level, and like I’ve said, NO one cries alone when I’m around. I felt really awful for her; I feel that she was genuinely in some emotional pain. She’s been a favorite of mine since the very first time I heard her refer to herself as a redneck, and I was sad to see her go. But I had to laugh when I saw Jeff’s face after Sue let him have it. He was NOT expecting that, and he looked a little shell-shocked. It’s interesting that when Jenna was ready to go, he put her through the third degree and solicited everyone’s opinion, but last night he only asked a couple of questions and then she was on her way. I hate that Sue’s tribe did the whole “Ding dong the witch is dead!” thing. It was inappropriate and not funny at all. Besides, who the hell wants to see Tom dancing around without a shirt on? I can’t wait to see what the twist is next week! It’s too early for the family reward challenge. Are they bringing voted-out survivors back? I want to see Rob C. back – I was telling Fred last night that I wish he hadn’t been voted out. Oh, and I wish Jerri would shut the hell up with the food talk. It’s as bad as Survivor: Australia when she and Amber laid around and moaned about food. It makes me want to smack her, and I’ve been liking her this time around. Also, Boston Rob? SHUT UP YOU ASSMONKEY. Why has no one voted his ass off yet? Colby’s really getting on my nerves, too. I hope that his ass gets voted off as soon as possible, and that Shii An says “Yeah, I felt it was time to MAKE A DECISION, YOU JACKASS!” as his torch is being snuffed out. Fred hates Shii An, but I love her. I also love Alicia. I’d love to see a final four of, say, Shii An, Alicia, Lex, and Rupert. I wouldn’t know who to root for!]]>

Thank you, Robyn! I am glad I am not the only one who felt bad for Sue. They were all being a bunch of insensitive assclowns. I hate that they just let it drop when they had the chance to discuss it as a group like they did when Jenna left, and I hate how rude everyone was about it afterwards. I don’t think Richard is some kind of sexual predator, but I think what he did WAS indisputably offensive and violating and reprehensible, and they just blew it off and acted like Sue was the bad guy. Fuckers.
I really appreciated I think it was Amber’s explanation of “any little thing that happens here gets blown way out of proportion . . not that it was a little thing”. I too thought the “Ding Dong” thing was crude and rude. I don’t think Richard did it on purpose. Why did he choose her? Well she was on the first show with him so he probably felt like he knew her better than the others. It was truly unfortunate and especially since it had the effect it had on her. To her it was as though he’d knocked her down and raped her 🙁
I wonder now if her threat of a lawsuit will be a reality?
I saw part of The Early Show this morning (both Richard and Sue were on it), and got the definite impression that she won’t be suing and that they’ve made their peace. I’ll report back after I watch the whole thing (I DVR’d it) and am sure about that.
I didn’t think I liked Shii Ann, but after Colby’s whole “I don’t respect the game you’re playing speech,” I started to seeeeeeeeriously dislike him. If she can get through playing the way she is, what’s wrong with that?
But I don’t loathe Colby nearly as much as I hate Boston Rob. If I hear him say “Ambah” one more time, I’ll probably start throwing things at the TV.
Maybe your neighbors are cutting up their victims and hiding them under their floorboards! Don’t press your face to the glass after dark!!! You could be next!! Gasp!
I honestly can’t believe someone can feel THAT violated by what Richard did. It would gross me out, and I’d probably wanna slap him, but I seriously think she did blow it WAY out of proportion. Sue is a tough woman, I think there were other reasons she wanted to leave.
I’m not sure how I feel about the Sue thing. I mean, Richard is GAY. He certainly wasn’t hitting on her. And she chose to turn back (on the planks) to confront him. I think he was just playing around and she was going along with it – they know each other pretty well from Survivor 1. I think Sue thought about it some more and realized she could probably sue Richard. Remember what Rupert said last night? How he had a long conversation with Sue and she claimed she was going to sue him for $10 million? I don’t know, I just got the sense that Sue saw the opportunity to get a bunch of money out of the situation.
Of course I wasn’t there, and I’m not Sue, so I don’t know really what it looked like, nor do I know how she truly felt.
On another subject – I LOVE Boston Rob. He is the man. He knows how to play the game and he’s playing it. Look at the awesome shelter he built! And his accent – rocks. Plus, the Red Sox cap – he wins me with that. 😉 I’m a diehard New Englander and I hope he wins it all! ;-0 Unless, of course, Rupert wins it all, then I’ll be dancing in the streets!
God, I love this show!
Jerri wouldve gotten a mighty loud STFU from me two chocolate chip cookies into her annoying ‘food list’
and why dont any of the women fish? I dont understand why they just accept the ‘cooking’ role and then have to latch onto the big, strong, male food-providers. so annoying.
I wanted to bludgeon Boston Rob when he talked about ‘My girls’ GAH!
I can’t think of anything I would LESS rather have happen to me than Richard Hatch rubbing his naked penis on my body. *shudder*
As for Sue’s reaction, for all we know maybe she’s a rape survivor and this incident brought back strong emotions from that experience? You just never know. I wish the people in her tribe had been more sensitive to how she was feeling and why. I was especially shocked by Rupert’s mocking her — isn’t he a trained counselor? Isn’t that what he does for a living? If so, he should know better.
I was all feeling sorry for Sue then it kinda wore out on me. And then the talks of suing Richard (Rupert was talking about later on after she left?)
That kinda pissed me off and wondered about her motive.
I don’t know why but Shii Ann gets on my nerves too.
Funny how people I loved last time around, grate on my nerves now.
Rupert
Colby
People that still get on my nerves
Tom
Sue
People I love now that I hated last time
Jerri
Lex
I am a wishy washy sort, ain’t I? Heh.
Colby IS a bastard, but he’s soooo hot…I need my eye candy. I pray that he sticks around just so I may continue to enjoy the cheap thrill… I wouldn’t mind see him win, then his face (and BODY) might be plastered everywhere!
Tom’s man-boobs are bigger than mine! Eww Ewww Ewww… not wanting to see that at all!!!!!!
I agree with everything Kay R says. But I need to add how annoying Jenna L has become this game. When her tribe was dissolved, she was picked last (which is really not “picked” at all) and you could see her looking up and away, obviously trying not to cry. Last night when Jeff asked what the tribes wanted to do about the reward challenge, Jenna quickly (and loudly) said they should all sit down warm and fuzzy like and fellowship together (or something like that) and absolutely everyone ignored her. Hee.
I swear, every time Bastan Rawb opens his mouth it causes me to have a seizure. I don’t know what’s worse — Rawb saying “Ambah” or Soo saying “taypioooooca”.
I really, really, hope for the sake of humanity that Rob and Amber don’t breed …
Thoughts on the twist – what if they rearrange the tribes again…male/female? There are 6 of each. Colby, Rob, Lex, Tom and Rupert on the same tribe? DUN DUN DDUUUUUUUNNNNNN!!!!
Oh, and I felt bad for Sue too. She is NOT going to sue Richard she said she just said that because she was pissed off. I don’t think Richard meant to harm her, I think it just set something off for Sue, reminded her of something in her past perhaps.
