Survivor - Who watched??
 

I won't say anything else, I am not sure who saw, or for that mater who cares ... I will just say I am pisssssssssed with the outcome!! I think the show was a bit rigged and I will not watch the next running of it. That is just my unsolicited opinion.

I didn't want the person who won to win. I won't say who because depending on your time zone, you may not know the outcome yet. And old girl's comment (you all know who I'm talking about) was waaaaaaay out of line. Her comment alone would have swayed my vote. Sore loser to say the least.

I am sooooooo feeling your comments on this!! I too was none to pleased with the outcome, but as I started to think about it, the runner up was trying to be strategic in her last vote, but it backfired. Total, as Gervese said, that little speach was FOUL!!!!

I can't imagine Survivor II topping this one!!

I, too, was disappointed with the winner. I believe all those $ winning shows are slightly tampered with, anyhow. But is was an exciting show, and what that women said about Kelly was too foul. It's true what brother-man said, "If she was up there, she woudn't be trash talking." What a sore loser.

I would've like the other finanilst to win, but hey, it didn't turn out that way. As far as Sue's comments, she was so TACKY. C'mon, don't hate when you all played the game. I have to give it to Gervase because he said exactly what was on my mind. Did anyone watch the reunion show? I didn't. I had had enough by then. Let me know if anything of interest happened.

I thought Kelly should have won. I also agree with the statements Gervase made while casting his vote. Sue's comments were out of line. She is a certified villain in my book.

I did watch the reunion show, and Kelly and Sue did "shake hands". However, Kelly appeared unhappy. Although Sue said she has no regrets, I think she does.

I was listening to a popular radio station in New York and I was even more sadden about last night vote when the radio personality stated that this is what AMERICA rewards. We root for the cunning, back stabbing, lying, cheating, pompous villain ... It just added salt to an open wound, I really got upset with the outcome at that point. MAKES ME THINK ABOUT AN IMPORTANT SURVIVOR RACE IN NOVEMBER http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif

hey sisterfriends...

i was reading your comments on the survivor show and i hate to say this but i am kinda glad the hatch won. *s* please don't crucify me.

from the beginning he was trying to get everyone to work together

well....i wanted rich to win soooooooooo bad. in the newspapers, here in nyc they are calling him king rat.
based on his expertise as a freelance corporate communications trainer, Rich Hatch conducts seminars on numerous topics affecting businesses, from conflict management to team building and negotiation.

Those skills, of course, came in handy on the island — and led to his going home as the big winner.

He shook up the place in week two by revealing he is gay. Later in the series, Hatch admitted to the cameras that he was manipulating the other castaways to his way of thinking and organized a four-person voting bloc. The members of his alliance eventually became the final four survivors.

but in the end it is every wo/man for themselves.

lots of love....

The thing that really got me in the end was the way Greg decided to vote. He asked them to pick a number 1-10. Because Rich picked #7, he came closer to #9 than Kelly's #3 as he explained during the reunion show. So, if Kelly had said #8, #9, or #10 she could have won.

Hello Ladies,

Let me throw this question out there since it's been the topic at my job ALL morning long. Do you think people are more upset for Rich winning because of his strategy/ alliance or because he admitted to being gay?
A lot of Americans still don't accept homosexuality or have homophobia.
Some of my co-workers were saying "I can't believe the gay guy (plus other references)won", instead of just calling him by his name.

Well I did not like the outcome either, I think that Rudy was more deserving than the two of them.
1- He did not pretend being the friend of anyone during this whole thing. (unlike kelly)
2- He was not lying, cheating conniving or backstabbing to anyone. (unlike rich)

That Kelly girl worked really hard, but frankly the whole deal about how the people she befriended and voted off the island should have chosen her because she was a better person was Bull@$#% to me. She betrayed their friendship one after the other.

At least Rich did not come out trying to be friends with everybody. He had a plan and stuck to it.

Just my two cents

How are yall doing anyway http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif !

I could care less about Rich being gay...

Most say it was a game and he played it well, but I really like what Epitome said about how the people he manipulated most gave HIM their votes, SHAME ON THEM! I really don't care who won b/c it was not me (yeah now I am hating), but I really feel Rich did not deserve it!!

Soror AKAtude, Greg was on a show this morning and he stated that his voting was a joke, he actually did come in knowing who he would vote for, he did not plead his case any further, saying he does not care what people think.

Ole Truck Driving Sue does need the lord! She basically showed that she is a 'insert color' Neck....hey she said it all the time, not me!!

After getting over my bias that the last two people should have been the only two token blacks on the show, I realized that Gretchen should have been one of the last survivors ....oh well

I think Greg voted for Rich because when asked which two people would he choose to be finalists, Rich said Greg would be one. He also said something about wishing Greg was around a bit longer. He was trying to score points. He was manipulative to the end.

Ok I watched 'Survivor' from day one. Yeah I was hooked..lol But anyways, someone said something about Kelly lying OMGosh THEY ALL LIED except Rudy. He kept his word about voting for Rich. I don't see how Rudy would have been the best deserving person? All he did was cook RICE?? Oh my...yeah I give it to him he's a great guy for serving in the Navy for 45 years but it was like did he learn anything??

Sue is LUCIFER!!! She really did show her true colors!!!

Rich is an arrogant pompous....oh well...I dont care if he's gay or not but he sucked!!

I wanted Kelly to win personally

Oh well...that's all I have to say.

LadyAKA,

I too, was saddened by the vote because what happened on the island validated what often happens in the "real" world: Duplicitous, malipulative people get rewarded, while honest people or at least people who admit to struggling with what's right or wrong get the shaft. What bugged me even more, though, was that the very people who were manipulated by Rich seemed to admire his ability to play them and rewarded him with their votes.

Now, that Sue chick was just plain foul, and I think Gervase was dead on in his comments.

The best person (GRETCHEN!) was out of the running long ago, but I was hoping it would be between Rudy and Kelly in the end.

Oh well, at least it wasn't Sue!

It was interesting just to see how human nature played out in a tough situation, but it will never get more interesting than this one. They should just scrap Survivor II right now.

I think the concept of an alliance was a smart idea. Even though I don't condone homosexuality, I didn't and still don't view that as a reason for not wanting him to win. I simply was put off by his arrogance. I'm all for people having confidence and a strong-will, but he just irritated me.

However, I felt Kelly was more deserving. Last night was the first time I watched the show and when I heard that she had won the last five immunity challenges, I was impressed. Also, during the last immunity challenge the host asked if they knew Rudy's wife's name. Rich said no while Kelly said it was Marge.

On the reunion show, they said Rich won because he was able to separate himself emotionally from the other contestants which is why he didn't learn much about them. Well, Kelly didn't have to do that and still made it to the final two. To me, being able to do it all is a good example of the best survivor.

I became hooked on Survivor about mid way through the 39 days. I was hoping that Rudy would come through some how. He was down to earth, real, funny and I liked him. I can't stand whiney (sp) crybabies...and that is what Kelly turned into at the end. Get over it Kelly!...it is a game! She did win $100,000 for 2nd place. I hated to see Rich win because he got on my nerves with his fake behind. Oh yeah and there should be a new Survivor rule...no walking around naked UNLESS you have something someone wants to look at!

Sue needs Jesus, pray for her.
