Sherri the stretch face and Dawn the melt down queen have to go.. I honestly believe that Cochran might be a target very soon. If they do not get him out in the next few weeks, I believe he may well be the winner this year. I would not be against his winning as I believe he is playing a fantastic game and has exceeded my expectations of him in the challenges. Eddie might have an outside chance....

[misscharlotte]

Yeah. I would not be against it either if he won. He's not in my top three players from who's left, but still I think he's been doing a fantastic job this time around. Honestly, I like him better as a person and how he's playing the game this time too.

And yep. I also agree that Sherry and Dawn need to go. I so hope it will be soon.

[misscharlotte]

Sunday Sunday... Da da... da da da. (tune to the Mama's and the Papa's ole song, Monday Monday.)




Can't wait to see how it ends. Glad to see Cochran is still playing a flawless game. Sad that Brenda was also playing a good game and so was seen as a threat. She deserved to be one of the last three. They did her wrong.

I'm also more disappointed in Dawn. my goodness. Maybe it's just me, but every time I see the family visit episodes, all of the people in the cast seem so overdramatic. They know they are on a game that they WILL be going back to their loved ones in a few days anyway. Or is it that I have more strength... or am I just cold? I love my family or else I would not allow my family to put me through all that they do. Still, what is the difference between seeing them today or in a couple more days? I've also always scratched my head thinking my mind must be going back to my old army brat roots. Whenever we've lived overseas for around 3 years at a time, once it came down to the last few months, my mother would make a calendar and cross off days. NOT how many day's we've lived in another country, but counting down the day's left to go before going back to our loved ones. It was good to see the numbers get smaller... looking forward to that plane ride back to our loved ones. Maybe this is it. I have the reversal engrained within me. On Survivor they need to make a calendar crossing off days so to seem to look forward to the day of the final counsel. This show has it backwards.

[Duddahs]

Tonight is the night!

[misscharlotte]

Yeah... I'm watching it right now. Go Cochran. I'm so proud of him for another win... Fingers crossed that he takes home the million. Sad about Eric.

I'm still steaming that Sherry is still in this game and Malcolm has been on the jury for all of this time.


Uh oh... commercial over... shows on. tootles for a bit.

[misscharlotte]

Ok..... Cochran's got a fat head. I don't think I want him to win or he'd be a pain to live with. UGH. Go Eddie. I just don't want for either of the girls to win.

OK.... council's going. be back later.

[Duddahs]

Ultimately happy that Cochran won and neither of those horrid women won. Shame that Brenda and Malcolm did not make it to the end. Glad Malcolm won the 100,000 fan favorite money though and my well wishes to Brenda on her impending and soon to be birth of her first child... Did not even realize that she might have been pregnant during the taping of the show. Is she married? Living with a partner? Engaged or just a very happy single mother to be? I like her and her Dad and do wish the best for her.

This was a rough season though. I really do believe that Phillip is a nutter for sure. Brandon needs to be put in a padded cell and the key tossed in the ocean. Stretch face needs a real attitude adjustment as does that ex-marine attitude case that she was defending for her own purposes at the cost to a great deal of decent people... Dawn, girl you need tranquilizers! Eric, I believe you are a good person, the girls enjoy the eye candy but I am so glad that the producers made you get different shorts because those teeny weeny butt popping shorts that you wore on the first episode made me embarrassed and I considered them obscene. (I am no prude as everyone knows, Duddahs loves his sparkly blue speedo's but those tiny red shorts showed too much and poor boy you did not have enough to fill them out. Sorry ladies, I just ain't into guys showing their junk whether they have some or not also not into the girls popping out like spring flowers all over the place either). I thought you did not purposely hurt anyone in the game but boy you sure are dumb as a post. Both the blonde from the favorites and the other supposedly popular guys Reynolds hey you two, get over yourselves. You are not all that! To the dude with the beard, OK ZZ Top, that is what I call him, please get a hair cut and a shave. You are smart but you put people off. Duck Dynasty has called and they want their facial hair back! To Eric, hope you are feeling better but we could all see it coming. You had no weight to loose and you lost so much that I felt like you were in a prison camp. I hope your mother filled you up with love and great home cooking. You too are a good person, you just can't go that long without nourishment. Oh did I say that Brandon should be put into a Booby Hatchery? Whacko from Wako... The whole darned bunch of them have some sort of neanderthal gene gone wrong. The missing links maybe are not as missing as some people have suggested.

[misscharlotte]

I agree about Cochran. I'm glad that he won. I think it's funny how he won ALL of the votes. None were for Sherry or Dawn. It shows that chosing the right is the best way to play. I thought it was also funny how Sherry shot herself in the foot by the way she talked to that one jurer. No one really had anything they wanted to ask her then the one chance she could have turned it around.... even the smallest chance, and she chose wrong. Tisk tisk. Treating people right can only bring a person good will. Much better than talking to people in the way she did. The same thing with Dawn. If she treated Brenda right, she might have had some points. That was her undoing. However, I will have to say, I understood her. If she didn't vote Brenda off, then it would be Brenda up there and so she'd lose the game. I also completely understand how it must have been for her going against her own nature. She tried playing with her head and not her heart. This led to bad decisions that stressed her out too much... that and she even mentioned what I recognized right off.. She's at that age and her hormones were throwing her for a loop. I honestly don't think this was the best time for her to play this game. I've been down that road and it's rocky all the way. Sharp jagged rocks at that.

I will scream out of frustration if they ask Phillip or Brandon back. I did wonder if they had a tad more rice left, if maybe Eric would have won instead. All he needed was a little more food. Grrr. I hope Brandon thinks about that.

[misscharlotte]

You know.... I got to thinking about their clues for next season.

Blood and Water

I wonder if they are going to have pair teams. Members of the same family?

If this is what they are doing, they could do this so many ways....

they could have parent and child... or brothers.... or sisters... so on and so forth. Can you image Brandon out there on an island with his uncle? That would be horrible.

But then for water?... maybe if they are doing family members, they could be on opposite teams? OR one team be family members against a team of people who don't have their family there?

I wonder how that would work... A very interseting season if I am thinking correctly. Especially when there is only ONE winner. That means someone's going to have to vote out their own family. OK... my mind is running with this thought.

What do you think the clue means?

[misscharlotte]

I was awake at 2am this morning. I wandered over to the Survivor official site. I think they said that the new season will start Wednesday September 18. That seems so far away.

Anyway... there was an interview between Parvati (the host person) and Dawn. I found it interesting that when Dawn lost her partials in the water, that Cochran and another guy ran over to help her first. They cut that out of the show. Then she said that she was trying to keep calm and thought NO... NOT Cochran! He had lost a long white tube sock in the water in that very area earlier and never recovered it. If he can't even find something like that, how could he ever help her to find her teeth?

THEN an interview with Cochran. Good to know he's not coming back for another season. I don't blame him... still he played an excellent game, i think. Anyway. I was shocked to learn that he's 26 YEARS OLD! I don't blame him for not shaving his face. He would look like a 12 year old if he did. Poor guy.

[Duddahs]

Yes, none too soon too.

Well, we do have Big Brother starting next Wednesday! and I have Wimbledon while I am going to be on Vacation... That gives me more of a reason to get a new big screen TV for the Vacation house... I think I am going to start at around 60" on up.. Definitely getting surround sound this time too for the Newport Nest. Not going to rent out after another bad year of bad Navy people.. Have to replace all of the linens and all of the living room furniture that was just purchased this past year. Can you believe one person and one handicapped child could do so much damage? Well over 18k worth of damage and not a single towel or sheet was left in the house. Even took the bed covers from all 3 bedrooms. Shame my sister had purchased this great Ralph Lauren set for the front spare bedroom as a gift for them staying there last summer.

[misscharlotte]

Sounds like these would be the same sort that would take the towels and pictures off the hotel room walls. You know what? If you guys were to let the future people know a few rules like... the sheets are not for sale... it would sound like in insult but in reality it should be a given that those things are to stay when they leave.

Oh and believe me, i grew up military, and I know very well how they leave their own houses when they move. When I was a teenager, my mother worked on a cleaning team that had to stand inspection with only three days to get the peoples house spotless. People now a days are just nasty. My mom made good money though. She redecorated every room in out house with nice things.

Wednesday nights for me has already started. Paranormal Witness... You know how I love a good scary ghost story.  

[misscharlotte]

OK.... this is so weird.

For any Survivor fans.... something I've been wanting to see happen for a long time... to see reruns of Surivivor episodes... is really happening. But this is weird.

OK... I need to back up a bit.

On TVGuide Network, all month long for September, during the daytime, they are showing marathons of old episodes. Right now, I'm watching Survivor versus Villians (year 2010)

It looks funny looking at some of these people who have been back on the show who have been on the show since this year. They look so young. And since I'm not backtracking to see... I can't recall who won? Everyone looks familiar.  

[misscharlotte]

This week they are doing Survivor Borneo.

I clicked for my Dish info window to pop up to see what year this was... Yeat 2000. It looked old. Jeff is telling the audience what is going on... how the game is played. The people again, look familiar. I know I watched many seasons from years ago... but like last week, they all look familiar to me. I still don't remember who wins so don't tell me. I like rediscovering all over again. This is fun.

[misscharlotte]

Continuing my TVGuide Network September Survivorthon....

I didn't peek.... WOW! Here I thought that the Navy Seals guy won that season... but instead it was naked guy instead. Who remembered that one?

And to see that they actually played with a heart back then. The young tribe was out there and actually played enjoying themselves.... well, up until the end when things finally began to get nasty. Phooey on sore looser Sue.

.....

Now they are playing the very first All Stars season. Where they have three teams. Boston Rob is there and there is an Amber. I'm wondering if this is THE Amber that he gets married to? There is also Sore Looser Sue, Naked guy Rick, and Navy Seals guy from season one. Cool. Then many we know from much closer like Rupert, Tina and so many others I can't name right off the bat. But this season is being played one episode back to back and will be over in a couple of days. I think Thursday the winner of THIS season will be revealed. Friday another season will begin. LOL.

....

HOWEVER... BLOOD VERSUS WATER

www.cbs.com/shows/survivor/news/1001151/

I'm not too thrilled to watch.

I'm ready to start anew. ALL NEW PLAYERS. Stop bringing back old people for goodness sake. I'm ready for fresh meat. Give us a few seasons of fresh people before bringing back old people again.

 Hmm? Not sure if you read any of my last posts... but oh well.

Are you saying you are DVRing the Survivor episodes that I was talking about in my more recent posts? That means at least 7 hours of Survivor 5 days a week for the whole month of September on TVGuide channel. Not counting the NEW ones that start on CBS that we normally watch once a week. That is a LOT of hours your DVR is recording. Somehow I don't think that is what you are talking about.

[misscharlotte]

OK..... I now know that I have NOT seen this seasons and just forgot. I know that for certain.

I know when they showed the first episode that I wanted Sore Looser Sue as well as Naked Guy Rick to be the first people gone... but if you had not seen... or if you did see and forgot since it's been about ten years ago what all happened, I'll go about this post in a criptic manner. They didn't go first obviously. My dislike for Sue outweighed my dislike for Rick from season one.... which they just showed that whole season the other day.

However... I don't blame her one bit for walking out like she did. You could tell that she was going into a slow shock for what he did to her. She tried to play it off at first. I honestly believe she was not acting and even though they blurred out his parts, you could tell he was being inappropriate. But on the other hand, I don't think he meant to do anything more than to urk her. I mean, that was his whole purpose of dropping his drawers every time he was in a competition was to give himself a leg up in competition.. he just thought this was his old pal from his old season and she was a tough old lady that... Still.... he thought wrong. He was stupid and in my honest opinion, I think the show should have stopped him from running around like that especially during competitions from the beginning. Survivor needed to set limitations. It might have been his strategy, still he went too far. Sue is a bad sport from season one... and a loud mouth in every day life. She deserves to be punched in the mouth many times over, but no one deserves what he did to her. He simply was not thinking.

[Duddahs]

Eeeessshhhh! This is going to be a very messy season!

[Duddahs]

OK, don't like Colton, can't change a rat into a gryffindor, can't stand him.

Don't like the Football Player still.

Don't like the guy who is cuddling up to the football player.

Don't like Gervaise, nope, not at all and his niece seems to have an attitude too! Well she was burned but she is not acting like the Rupert of the Dr. Woman who was burned on the very first day!

The girl who was voted off was the wrong one for sure again. The newbies sure are decimating their tribe. They will get it in the end. I don't see poor John lasting much longer and I have to say that I don't trust Hayden. I did not trust him when he was part of the Four Horseman on Big Brother. He is a pure sneak and dumb as a post. OK, that is insulting to a post.

Hope things go smoothly for you tonight. By the way, what is Raman Soup? See it is my time to ask.
