if she knows his name is Hogeboom, then she probably knows he is a QB, most people who follow football would know that, if they know a little bit about Cowboy history. Didn’t he give a fake name though?? To use that name and claim you aren’t is kinda dumb.
But on the previews, they show that woman cop with the NY accent saying to him…“You’re Gary Hawkins, a QB”. Did he use Hawkins or Hogeboom? If he used Hawkins, I’m surprised Danni would know him-I wouldn’t and I follow football, and being a Packer fan I know all too much about the Cowboys. At least he didn’t use the name Staubach.
Personally I think it’s much ado bout nothing. He is, he isn’t , wouldn’t affect me one way or another.
I still stand by my earlier assertion that he was yelling “WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALT!” Except, you know, in a Southern accent. And since most of what Bobby Jon says is indecipherable gibberish anyway, good luck trying to convince me otherwise.
Heh. That’d be a good way to trip him up. If you suspected that Gary was, in fact, Gary Hogeboom using a fake name, accuse him of being, say, Gary Hokinshoom. See if he says something like, “It’s Hogeboom, not Hokinshoom. And no, I’m not him.”
Oh, she knows exactly who he is, and even where he went to college. The question is: did she privately tell him she knows who he is after his public denial, or is she keeping this information close to her bony chest for leverage at the final TC? I imagine an alliance based on blackmail would be fun to watch. This is the only aspect of this season I find the least bit interesting, so I’ll probably stop watching if either of them don’t make it to the final 4. rockle I think you’re right. But it was more staccato, like Walt!Walt!WAAAAAAAAAAlt!
IIRC, he made at least one denial to the original Yaxhá before the shuffle – so I would assume that Rafe, Steph, and Lydia were also misled. Plus, the subject also came up at the Reward “challenge” picnic lunch, where Amy & Gary represented Yaxhá and Judd & Margaret represented Nakúm. And post-shuffle, didn’t this come up at camp right after the switcheroo? So at this point, everybody left except Cindy has been lied to directly about who, exactly, Gary is.
I still want to know exactly how Danni knows who Gary is – there is no way that she just “recognized” him without some kind of prompting from somewhere. I doubt that even Bob Costas would know who Gary Hogeboom (aka Hawkins [aka Hanks {aka Henry <aka Higgins>}]) is immediately on sight, and not for nothin’, but I tend to find his expertise to be more reliable, even if he is kind of a fathead a lot of the time. How does Danni know? She’s an admitted Chiefs fan, and Hogeboom never played for the Chiefs, so what gives?
Do note that she’s wearing a shirt that reads “Football Chic.”
She’s a sports broadcaster; if she was a sports fanatic, she probably would have been in junior high while he was at the end of his career, so she probably ran across his stats then, or in high school.
What I want to know is, how do those hips keep her from collapsing into a pile of sticks?
Also, how does she avoid cutting people with those hips?
Has anybody else noticed Brandon’s mysteriously disappearing and reappearing facial injuries? He’s got a scab on the bridge of his nose in half the interviews, and it comes and goes throughout the episode. It’s been there (or not, depending) since the first episode.
If they ever get bored of the animal noises (from gorillas and BobbyJon), someone could pick up some sticks and play some xylophone on her ribs. A little Lionel Hampton anyone??
In her defense though, when I was 10-20 yrs old I knew a hell of a lot more about sports than I do now, knew all the stats, players etc… Now I’m just too busy with life to worry about it, or really care. I know my team, and the rivals but not much more than that. Maybe she’s the same way. But I still highly doubt she looked at him and said “You’re Gary Hogeboom.” When he started, t wasn’t that long, as it?
I’m a sports nut, too (I even have a degree in sportscasting), and I frequently find errors in the stats on SportsCenter. I recognize the name “Gary Hogeboom,” but I wouldn’t know him from Adam if I passed him on the street. There are maybe 40 athletes from any sport that I would recognize instantly, and Gary Hogeboom ain’t one of 'em. Hell, Jim Kelly ain’t even one of 'em, and he’s my hero. (Doug Flutie is one, but that’s because – as I may have mentioned before – he’s my arch-nemesis.) I’m not saying Danni doesn’t know who Gary Hogeboom is, I just can’t believe that she’d recognize him like that. I’d like to know why she knows him, that’s all. Why’s he worth that space in her brain?
I disagree. There are probably very few people who would recognize him…maybe just a handful in the country, and probably all in the business of sports casting. She just happens to be one of them, and I think it’s hilarious. I can just imagine Gary running the scenario in his head before hitting the Mayan ruins: What if there’s some fat, no-life, beer-swillin’, megafan sports doofus out there with me? What am I gonna do if this freakin’ balls-for-brains recognizes me? Turns out, the big doofus is a 20-something attractive woman.
(I say “attractive” as a hetero woman who can’t take her eyes off those shorts of hers. Were I inclined to pursue women, I’d find her a bit meatless for my taste.)
Yeah, me too. I mean, there is skinny, and then there is skinny … and she gives a whole new dimension to the latter. Seriously, she looks like she’d fall through your average street grate. When she puts her (ugly) cowboy hat on, she looks like a walking human bobblehead. It’s really kind of disgusting. She makes Janu from Palau look like a moose. Girl is nasty. (And I don’t mean that in the personality way, although I am already on the record as totally not liking her.)
It seems like you all are missing Rafe’s brilliant choice of Gary for immunity. From everything he’s heard, he didn’t hear anyone aiming at Gary but he gave the immunity to him. Rafe is being very reserved and we’ve seen that that can get him far. Also he laid a seed that if he makes it to merge, then he might be able to ride with Gary for a while.
As for our favorite tub-o-lard, he is the king of the hill for now, but as soon as he loses focus - someone will slit his throat. Mark my words.
As for the yelling match between Jamie and Bobby Jon, I can clear this up some. Remember, these are two young peacocks both looking to flourish and show their feathers with a victory. So when Jamie wins he let loose a cry of victory, and Bobby Jon was upset at the loss so he did not appreciate Jamie’s celebration. So BJ got in his face and was trying to out-piss him with yelling back. This is something which is a hair’s breadth from violence, both of them had hormones raging and if either of them had gotten aggressive with a shove, punches would have been thrown.
As for the yelling, from what I recall, Jamie said something like, “What’s my name!?” And BJ hopped up yelling, “THat’s what I like to hear.” I’m not positive on Jamie’s phrase but I’m pretty confident on BJ’s response. The intelligence of these phrases is not in dispute, but the context of them is something I completely understand as a hotheaded young buck.
