I heard an old epsidoe of Loveline about 5 years ago maybe where Colby was the guest. I think he was promoting his appearance on Curb your Enthusiasm. Anyway half way through the show Jeff Probst called saying he was waiting for Colby to finish up and come back to the poker game he was hosting. By the sounds of it they were pretty good friends. I think Shannon Elizabeth was also at their poker game.
I guess I have a little bit of a higher elevated opinion of Jerri than the others – she actually came off pretty okay her A-S season, I thought (when Lex gained her trust and then he booted her) and was unfairly maligned at the reunion show.
She may be embracing her Villainess portrayal – and really, wouldn’t it be kinda cool to just be bad without judgement? – but I see her as mostly lucid whereas Coach, outside of being The Most Pretentious Man Ever, is pretty lost in the woods, so to speak. I just have a hard time seeing how somebody not delusional themselves would find Coach attractive. But then, maybe he’s a little bit more on the Long Bus than last time.
All of that said, HELLO? HE HAD A GIRLFRIEND AT HIS SEASON’S FINALE! Not that I would put Coach above cheating on his SO in front of America to get him national attention. Maybe they’ve split. Maybe she was a “normal beard” at the time.
Put me in the camp that hated Boston Rob and as now rooting for him in a big way. I could see it happening that the Villains camp turns into a battle between Alpha Dogs, namely Russell and Rob – wholly instigated by that insecure Napoleon. I hope Rob is wise enough to see it coming – and I think he is, but wouldn’t bet the farm on it.
I don’t see the preview for next week as being Rob’s demise. They do that stuff all the time. If Rob really was going home they wouldn’t have shown it.
I agree with Tom: the person they should have booted was Cirie. She may have shown something in the first challenge, but generally, she is horrible with them. But she’s the best social player ever IMHO and Tom is the ideal type to be in her radar scope. She nailed Yau Man in similar fashion.
For those who don’t remember, Aras (the guy who won it during Danielle’s season) is the only one I know of who had a friend who regularly posted on this thread. The doper actually invited my wife and I to Aras’s viewing party for the Finale (it was only a couple blocks from our home), but we passed.
Rupert’s days are numbered.
Nice sound effects putting Stephenie’s shoulder back in place.
I can see Danielle or Candace as the coattail rider who makes it to the Final 3, just as it happens in seasons past. It’s inevitable.
That said, seriously, how can this season not be a great one?
Moonchild, please forgive my ignorance, but what do these mean?
Mentally-challenged children ride the short bus.
A ‘beard’ is a woman who is in a relationship with a gay man, so that people think the gay man is straight. i.e., he has a ‘beard’, so he must be a manly man. (A ‘beard’ can also be the male companion of a lesbian, who serves the same purpose.)
Thanks! I did google, but came up empty-handed. I guess I should be on the short bus. :smack:
And “normal beard” would be the normal-appearing fake girlfriend of the crazier-than-a-shithouse-rat-but straight man.
I read it in an interview shortly after that season of “Survivor.” IIRC, Probst was impressed by how honorable Colby was to Tina, while still being a man’s man.
Oh, and what do you know, it mentions it right on the Survivor page:

In my search, I also found out that Julie Berry and Probst aren’t dating any more. You know, in case anyone’s wondering.
