Official Survivor Gabon thread

I agree. Crystal has a strong personality and she was playing the game. I think she is a good person IRL. Those other people are just plain nasty. Marcus seems like a good guy that is just getting caught up in the moment (not an excuse though). I can't stand the others.

I don't think she was playing the game at all. She was terrible at all the challenges and she only did what Kenny told her to do.

Those editors really do mess with our minds

After my first experience with Big Brother 24/7, where they took a 3 hour converstation about bashing someone and edited it to a 2 minute 180 degree switch for the On Air show... well...

Dont beleive anything you see.

It was time for Crystal to leave. I told my dh last night, she has to be the most disappointing player (as far as expectations, going into the game) in Survivor history. Come on, a recent Olympic gold medalist - last night, at the end of the ball challenge, she went up to "dunk" her ball at the end -and still missed the basket!

Susie - why is she still there - how has she gotten this far? She is just "there".

I think it will be Sugar, Bob and Matty in the final three - and I see Bob winning over either of the remaining players. Unfortunately, the others should see that too, and unless he wins the final immunity, he may not be going to the finals. Not sure if they are doing final 2/3, but he must continue winning to stay in the game!

Anyone notice that Randy was the only jury member who didn't look happy? I think he realizes that the party with his new best friends is over now that Crystal will be joining them!

Anyone notice the mohawk Randy was sporting? I couldn't help think of De Niro in Taxi Driver and we all know how that turned out

 

[Disneymaddness]

I just watched the ponderosa clip of the group giving Crystal the silent treatment. What a bunch Of jerks! All of them. And Randy is the biggest loser of them all! They were all outplayed, grow up! And Corrine, she just acts like this

I know- I about fell over laughing at him.

 

[jrmasm]

I'll be the lone desenter and say I do not think Sugar has a good heart. Remember her hysterical laughter at Randy being humiliated at Tribal? I think she's incredibly immature.

At this point, I won't be happy with anyone winning except Bob.

 

[PatsMom]

I don't think that Sugar has "a good heart" but I do think that the others way underestimated her at the outset of the game. She has played a much better game than I expected. I would be OK with her winning. I'd rather see Bob win but Sugar would be preferable to Susie who hasn't done much of anything, or Kenny who just annoys me for some reason.

 

[legalsea]

True, none of us know Sugar. She may well have an 'evil' heart and be the most wicked person we can imagine.

However, in general, I think her confessionals show her to be a decent person with a 'good heart'. I was certainly touched by her recollections of her late father and of her outrage at Crystal and Kenny 'kicking Matty when he's down'.

My mind about her was not changed about her laughing (apparently; beware of editing) at Randy's humiliation at Tribal Council for playing a fake immunity idol. Randy had (again, beware of editing) been acting like a horse's behind to everyone. We have seen that Sugar does not like rude, crude and socially unacceptable people, and so she was happy to be rid of Randy. Randy appearing at the tribal last night with a "You Lookin' at Me!" mohawk probably confirms Sugar's reading of that individual.

 

[lulugirl]

At this point, I won't be happy with anyone winning except Bob.

Me too, he's the only one I can stomach.
Unfortunately unless he continues to win immunity I don't think he'll get to the final three, he's too well liked by the majority of the jurors.

 

[IHeartTink04]

I was soooooo happy with last night!

I was kind of mad at Sugar with the Randy laughter but I am back to liking here again!

Bob, Matty and Sugar all the way!

 

[Stacerita]

I was glad to see Crystal go last night. It was time. And I was laughing hysterically when she tried to dunk and missed. I played it back twice just for another giggle.

 

[xoprincessmomxo]

I think Sugar has consistently outwitted everyone. Even now she is playing the game with her tears. She knew the tightest alliance was betwen Kenny and Crystal and that needed broken up before the final 4 for sure. Her acting chops have served her well. I would be incredibly happy if Sugar, Matty, and Bob would be the final 3. Sugar: because she has the game smarts, Bob because he has also played both an intelligent and physical game (and I tend to root for the underdog), and Matty simply because the more screen time he gets, the happier I am. Hottie! And, for that same reason, my DH is hoping he goes down in flames...

Agree, especially about Sugar and Bob (I am a little uncertain about whether I consider Matty a 'hottie').

Let us not forget: in past seasons people who had to go to 'exile island' were often put at a disadvantage, since the others would make alliances against said exiled person. The first time Sugar went to exile I thought she would be toast; when she found the idol I thought 'toast after she plays the idol'. She has played the game well, and she may butter my toast anytime.

 

[SeeDisney]

Yeah, Crystal is gonel. I don't like her. Routing for Bob. My 12 year old son is routing for Kenny.

Susie better not win. She hasn't done ANYTHING!

 

[DisneyMomOK]

Geez! Talk about childish. I just watched the latest Ponderosa videos. The other 4 jury members(losers) are giving Crystal the silent treatment. I am not at all surprised that Corinne and Randy would act that way. But, Marcus and Charlie? I thought they were more mature than that.

Marcus is friends with a cousin of Crystal's and Marcus reached out to Crystal. They both swore not to vote for each other, but, of course, Crystal blind-sided Marcus. He later said he forgives, but does not forget. Her dishonesty is being justly rewarded, IMO.

 

[goofy's friends]

I can't get the silent-treatment Pondarosa video to play, but I watched the one where their getting ready for tribal--man, Corrine is just nasty (I can't beleive she wants to be portrayed that way). She was going on about "do yourself a favor and never come to Africa" and " this stupid show". And, there was a brief look at her ugliness toward Crystal when she was getting in the car. Wow! She went into it knowing it was a game and she got OUTWITTED! She is embarrassing herself on national television (and Internet)!!

 

[DeterminedOne]

Bob is the man! If he makes it to the end I am rooting for him. Otherwise I'm rooting for Sugar. Crystal was just useless and like someone else said, disappointing. I absolutely cannot stand Corrine. She is such a sore loser. I think she forgot it's a game. I was so happy when she was voted out. She thinks she's so much smarter and better than everybody else.

 

[puffkin]

Finally was able to watch the Ponderosa videos of Crystal....couldn't get them to work through the CBS site so I did a google. I agree about Corinne, what a baby. For someone who is supposedly so smart, she is acting like a baby. I was actually surprised that it looked like Randy was the only one who even talked to her (said something like it will get better in a few days....). Maybe he isn't pure evil?

 

[Kirby]

I too was having trouble with the Ponderosa Silent Treatment video but it finally worked for me. Randy was actually talking nicely to Crystal. But I would never have admitted that he made my life miserable. Would have never given him the satisfaction.
