Jackie-I completely agree with you that Alec telling Baylor to clean the pot that way (his tone and how he asked, or rather told her maybe he should have offered to clean the pot), but we also don't know how they divide the labor-maybe it was her turn to clean the pot? I do see what you are saying, but I think what he was doing was trying to tell a bit of his history regarding how his father treated him vs. Drew. Can you imagine growing up in a house where Drew was the golden boy who never had to do anything and Alec was the one who had to do all of the chores and dirty work? That was what I was talking about. The imbalance of it all. It's shocking to me because I'm the oldest of 4 siblings who's father tried his very best to treat us all equally and still does to this day. Not one of us every got favouritism. But-I do agree he was wrong to talk to Baylor that way, and he could have used better wording. Then again, when have men been the best as far as verbal stuff goes plus they are all hungry. I'm sure he didn't mean it the way it sounded-at least I don't think so. I can't help it-so far I like Alec. I like a lot of the players this season, but I really feel a soft spot of Alec having to grow up that way.
your buff's" team mix up we find out the rest of the team knew about Drew's planned idea to throw the immunity challenge? Would that change our ideas about him? Na! He's still a dick! Glad to have him gonAre we 100% sure no one else knew about the idea to throw the challenge.
No, but I do think if that had been the case they would have shown us
some film of at least someone back at camp talking about it before the
immunity challenge took place with Drew. To not show anything at all,
and to show us only Drew saying to the camera that he's going to throw
it makes the audience (us) think it was only Drew's idea. I've never
thought of Survivor as a show that likes to play THAT much with the
audience's emotions. I think they'd make too many fans too pissed-on the
other hand they do love to make us second guess, don't they? And it was
odd that two of the strongest male athletes set out on that
challenge-Jeremy and John (like you pointed out Jackie) unless they were
terrible swimmers. Still those two could have stayed on the platform
and done the ring tossing thing at the end, right? They didn't have to
do the swimming parts, because not all of the team players participated
in the swimming, did they? I'd have to re watch it to make sure.
Wouldn't it be funny if after next week's "throw downe.
Jackie-you credited me with "talking about voting out Kelly right in front of her" but that was actually GaleW who said that. And you are both right! What a horrible, nasty, callous, disgusting, way of acting on Survivor! Someone said, "she's right there" to spare her feelings hoping Drew would shut up, but he just said, "I don't care" and went on talking. Who does that? What does he do for a living again? I can't imagine him succeeding in real life with the attitude he displayed on Survivor if he behaved like that in a job, can you? Hopefully he works for himself, by himself.
So Jackie you're happy the tribes are switching it up next week? I guess it's about time since we've got one team who's lost so much and one team who's dominated. It should make things interesting.
And I agree about Natalie. She's really grown on me being out here without her twin-her tone level has gone down quite a few notches and she seems to be having a chance to find out who she is by herself. Which can be a good thing, right? I loved what she did after the challenge when she egged on the other tribe about John Rocker (and it worked! The got rid of him) and she seems to be getting along well with her tribe and working hard.
