How does one not clue in to look for a 40 foot tree? Instead, we saw her digging under some small bush. I mean think woman, you may not know how much a pace is, but tell me you know what a palm tree is??

Originally Posted By Autopia Deb It wasn't so much she didn't know the length of a pace as she seemed confused with the entire concept. Did you see those little baby steps she was taking? I'm hoping I can get over my personal association problems with her, it's really not her fault she reminds me of someone who gets on my nerves.
Originally Posted By WorldDisney I dont know Resy, I seriously dont think she found it. She pretty much thought she was a goner at the first tribal council already. I mean did you see how stunned she looked when Carolina got that second vote? She was shocked (and happy lol). I'm guessing she found it, without any hesitation, she wouldve used it. But man, I been reading some of the Suvivor boards off of this one and people are reeeeaaally harsh against this woman. Calling her names that would get admined here. She seems to be hated in most circles and I cant understand why? I think there is a lot of ageism out there along with the class issue since everybody seems to be calling her an old redneck hag (and that's being polite here) but she hasnt DONE anything to rub anyone the wrong way in the game or to other people, so I dont get the resentment. I think people have judged her based on her age and background and thats sad to me.

I know she was voted by the tribe as the least 'necessary' when getting off the truck, so she didn't endear herself to the viewers by not helping the rest of the tribe. I didn't really care for her, and would have probably voted her out too, if Carolina hadn't been so annoying.

Originally Posted By Autopia Deb I think the Internet oppinion of Sandy is less ageism and more a reaction to her "crazy". Most people I know really liked Bob from last season and I think Sandy and Bob are about the same age. There is something very off-putting in her personality (at least what she's shown so far). And I think it's easier to bag on her about her age than that less tangible quality that is bothering people. This same quality is also probably very engaging, endearing and/or entertaining for those not bothered by it. I'm fortunate in that I know *exactly* why she bothers me and it's neither her age or her fault. It's not her fault she reminds me of my crazy/evil ex mother-in-law. (and no crazy does not = evil, but she did some very evil things to her son before she "went 'round the twist".)

Originally Posted By WorldDisney Hey just watched it and confused, but was there only ONE challenge in this last episode? There's usually two right, at least after the first episode. Maybe I'm forgetting one, but thats weird. And poor Candice. I just noticed her this episode and I THOUGHT I finally found my future wife ;D. She was soooo cute!! But sadly she's gone. Oh well, the search continues .

Originally Posted By WorldDisney So guys, was there only one challenge in this episode? And yeah, utterly DUMB to mention your husband is a ex football player. And Taj is no slouch herself in the celebrity dept. I just found out she use to be a member of an R&B group called SWV in the 90's. MAJORLY popular where I'm from when I was in high school. Here's a video of her back in the day: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOKd_et0A4o&feature=related" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...=related</a> I actually have this song and a few other of theirs on my ipod now . Wow, pretty funny she was part of that group. And I'm still hurting Candance is gone. That was my new baby .
Originally Posted By WorldDisney Oh and I just found out Taj was not as idiotic as we thought. Apparently according to Carolina who got the boot last week, one of the contestents, Spencer (who I dont know lol. Usually takes a few weeks to match all the names with the faces) actually recognized her since she was former pop star and knew exactly who she was married to, so she just decided not to lie not to bury herslf further since he could challenge her on it. So now that that's out, she simply didnt have a choice basically.

Originally Posted By WorldDisney Hey Resey, yeah, I like Spencer so far, so it would be nice to see how far he gets. Last episode was pretty good and it was nice to see Coach sealing his fate as the biggest douche of the game . It was sad to see Jerry go, he was sick but I imagine he wouldve went far as well if he was more physically able. And I'm surprised to see Jalapau(?) do as well as they are doing. It honestly looked like they were going to be that team that lose 10 straight times lol, but turned it around quickly. Also nice to see Sandy and Sierra are no longer the biggest targets from their tribe anymore . They both proven they deserve to be there like everyone else.
