Originally Posted By Autopia Deb I get why they voted Carolina, and normally I'd be goin' "Yeah old chick, you show 'em" but Sandy reminds me of a Southern-fried, working class version of my crazy ex mother-in-law. YIKES! Hard for me to like her given that predudice. btw, I've got no problem with Southerners and I myself come from a working class family. But former mil came from a very privilaged California home, Daddy provided every luxury a spoiled little girl could want. And so far as I know she never had to do a days manual labor in her life. So Sandy is very different in that respect. Otherwise the similarities are creepy to me. Did anybody else think it sounded like Token Cheese when Jeff said where in Brazil they were?
Originally Posted By DAR Carolina was going to get very annoying it's a good thing she was bounced out. Sierra you might want to think of maybe wearing some underwear. When Deb put the clue for the idol in her bra strap I let out an uggghhhh. The girl from Wisconsin was on the team that won, she helped Sierra build the steps. What's with people wearing jeans?? You're going to be doing events that require some athleticism, jeans are not effective for that. "Coach" really?? Really??

It seems like they never know when/where they get dumped with or without their stuff. So why wear a dress or expensive suit? And I think it was Sandy who put the clue in her bra *shudder*.
Originally Posted By Autopia Deb I SO agree with you in post 15 DAR! Spunk, pleanty. Brain power, not so much.
Originally Posted By Rsey103 Do you think Sandy found the idol and they didn't show it? Jeff acting like he didn't know the contestants names at the top of the episode was odd...
Originally Posted By WorldDisney Yeah, I guess all part of the 'show' as if Jeff was meeting them for the first time himself although he's known these people weeks if not months. Hell, doesnt he even have some say on who gets on now? Anyway, I liked the first episode although it is starting to feel a lot like 'been there, don that' but the cast seems fine so far. No one comes off as a complete freak so far . I like Sandy and was glad to see her stay. She comes off tough and sweet at the same time, a good combination. And I'm sorry but the ageism on the show kind of bothers me. They made her sound like she was 75 years old with a walker. We all know Survivor is a physical game, but geesh, there have been LOTS of older people on the show that have held their own. It amazes me even now people look at anyone over 50 as an invalid these days. I hope Sandy goes far and prove the youngins she's just as tough.
