Survivor...sigh...

Next to throwing a challenge, there's nothing I hate more than someone quitting. What do they think they are getting into when they sign up? There should be a huge penalty for quitting, like $25,000 to charity or something.

1. I don't think Julie had ever seen one episode of "Survivor."

I got the impression she thought she'd always be on the same team with Rocker. The fact that they had never spent more than 4 days apart in 3 years should have sent up red flags for the producers.

Her excuse about seeing all the couples together was pretty lame. I think she was just hungry.

Glad to see her go.

11. Four days...

criminy! That's sad.

2. It was the trail mix!

If you knew- absolutely knew - you were not going to win, would you stay one more minute? Her game was done.

[Goblinmonger]

4. She was totally bring to the top 3 because nobody would vote for her material.

Though nobody seems to be that smart at this point to figure that out.

If I were able to fix my own fate, I would bring Julie and Baylor to the finals with me. No way they beat anybody that had any level of game.

I thought going into people's bags and stealing stuff was a complete no-no on Survivor. If that were me, I'd let everyone know I'd be going idol hunting through their bags since they seem to think that is fine.

5. You are right!

She was offered cover by Misty, and could have gone on, maybe even redeemed herself eventually and worked back into game.

It's never over until the starving emaciated lady sings! Unless you're a Hance!

7. It's true and even then...

there's always a teeny tiny chance somebody would vote for her depending on how bad the opponent pissed people off.

[Phentex]

10. Yes! I would go down with my torch!

The trail mix didn't help but there is a possibility they would have gone after someone else, knowing they could beat her at challenges. Sounds like Missy was trying to keep her around a little bit longer, so who knows? You can't ever tell if it's going to be you until you see the actual votes.

3. What disgusted me about her almost more than her

dependence on her boyfriend was her constant I, me, mine attitude.

Anyone, even a total dope, would know that taking and hording food from the others is wrong. I would not do that in my home stocked with goodies but on Survivor where everyone was starving? What was she thinking? ME, I am hungry. Why don't they like ME. I am tired and this is hard on ME.

Good riddance. I did not like her from the start, the total dependent sports hero girlfriend/wife.

This kind of crap drags the show down and frankly even I am tiring of it. Last season was good, this one so far is not shaping up as terribly interesting.

Singles please. Whatever they thought the couple thing would get them I think it is not quite working out.

Of course it could just be me

It might be fun if they got all players who were basically not team players at all. It would be fun to watch anyway.

Maybe they should go back to the beginning but add enough food that they don't get sick.

[Phentex]

8. I don't like the recycling of players either...

from another show or from a sport. I guess they figured John Rocker would bring controversy but he's just dumb as a box of rocks and wasn't fun to watch at all.

6. Why she quit when she did

I read a short Q&A with Probst today, and the question was why do you think she quit 'now' instead of waiting to be voted out. His theory was that if she waited and did not get voted out at that night's TC, which was pointing towards Josh or Jeremy, and then she got voted out at the next TC then she would be on the jury and so would be away from Rocker for basically the whole 39 days. Since Rocker was recruited and she was only on the show because of him, she had no loyalty to the show and could care less about being out there. She is apparently really codependent on him so was desperate to go rejoin him. Sad.

The casting people need to not worry about trying to drag in people that are not Survivor fans/followers just to try to instigate drama and go with the people that know how the game is supposed to be played. I had to laugh when Keith said to Missy and Baylor--"No more lying" or something to that effect. What? Has he ever seen the show before?

[Phentex]

9. again, for selfish reasons...

I guess there's someone for everyone so they seem perfect for each other.

And yes, lying is playing the game.

12. Very disappointed in Survivor....probably our last time watching.

WAY TO MUCH TALKING.....just not as much fun as it used to be. JMHO
