Katy, I think you're right about Jenn and Hali making fun of Shiren. Clearly making fun isn't nice but most of them do that to each other to some degree. It's a far cry from screaming at people, making prolonged deep personal attacks. Heck, we've laughed at her too while watching from home. She's a bit of an odd bird. I don't expect these people to be perfect and can overlook a lot while they're out there. But there are lines that can be crossed--Colton, Will, Corrine, Nadonka (sp?) are examples of Survivors who crossed them IMO.

So I was looking at Shirin's bio. Didn't realize she was a Yahoo exec, and that may explain her 'quirkiness' somewhat  But the thing that stood out was this: Maybe some of that attitude has been seen by the others even if we haven't? Don't get me wrong - I think the bullying is outrageous and inexcusable, and Will is a complete ass. Rodney comes a close second. Actually, I don't care for any of them at all which is very unusual for me. By now I would normally have one maybe two firm favorites. |

Jenn also said in an interview she did on Rob Has a Podcast that after Will ripped into Shirin, he went up to Jenn later and said to her "I like you so I don't care that you thought I lied about the food". So, questioning his "integrity" was just his excuse to abuse Shirin, because he totally let Jenn off the hook. And Shirin wasn't even the one accusing him, Jen and Mike started it.
Will and his wife on facebook are trying to defend Will's actions instead of apologizing. His wife is posting "wait until the reunion then you'll see the truth" and nonsense like saying that Will was edited badly. You can't edit those words into his mouth, that's for sure! Plus, Jen already said Shirin didn't do anything to deserve it - not that anyone ever deserves that!
I can honestly say I have never had words like that come out of my mouth. I have never even thought them. I can't believe someone can defend that.
Will was also an idiot to share the food. No strategy whatsoever. He couldn't have gotten so much sympathy if everyone thought he was just kicked out of the auction. He could have really played that up, whether he ever bothered to go back and eat that food or share it with a few people later or whatever - he blew it. idiot.

Oh yeah, about Jenn and Hali - I don't think they so much made fun of Shirin as they said she talked too much and was annoying. Like when Jenn voted out Max and said to the camera "dude, stop talking". It seems like Hali and Jenn (and now Mike) are the only ones showing her compassion. Jenn said she and Shirin just hung out every day in a little cave Jenn found, away from everyone else because they were all such jerks.

I think Shirin made a good point when she noted that Mike was the only one to jump in and try to stop the personal attacks, and the others were just standing there.
Evil flourishes when good people do nothing.
