I don’t think Kenny kicked Charlie and Marcus’s asses. If I’m recalling the season correctly (and after this infinite season, I may well not be), they got booted because. . . (c) Susie providing a crucial swing vote, which was the only real strategic move of the season, which she got no credit for.

Charlie and Marcus telegraphed to Susie in multiple different ways that she was not a part of the Inner Onion alliance, and Crystal was able to convince Susie to switch to a more advantageous alliance. Classic strategic failure on Charlie and Marcus’ part, and certainly not unfair in any way; they screwed themselves.

It may not have been the most stellar casting of all time, but it was certainly a bizarre feeling to be interested. After Jonathan left last season, I had literally zero interest in everybody left, and it was a horrible symphony in tedium (Amanda) and smugness (Cirie), not to mention ineptitude (Erik). So I viewed this season as a welcome relief from seeing the mugs of those who bored me stiff. I thought everybody post-Jury was at least moderately entertaining and/or horrible, and everybody post-Jury seemed interested in winning, as opposed to last season, when half the Jury members seemed solely interested in sucking up to quasi-celebrities.

Linda’s point about Bob getting away with answers a woman would have been burned for….dead on correct. Bob won this by default. He’s a winner but he’s a Vecepia/Jenna winner. They have both been crucified for their game and Bob has been let off.

Anyways, I agree with the assessment that it was an unsatisfactory cast. I was unhitched totally throughout the whole season. As I read cast members’ comments on other websites, I find that Bob was indeed an unsavory character. In more than one interview, he was mentioned as somewhat of a pervert. I don’t have the details, but the description is enough to confirm my suspicions that he wasn’t as wonderful as the edits made him out to be. I guess if I were going to root for anyone at the end, it would have been Susie. But even so, I don’t think she was as good a player as say Yul or Earl. The ending was just, BLAH.

I have already cast my lot in your previous post concerning Corrine and Randy. Do you think the casting folks for Survivor do any kind of psychological screening, because if ever there were two sociopaths on this show it was these two fruitcakes? ISH! I hope to never run into these guys ever in my life.

Well done, Linda and thank you again.

Can you imagine an employer hiring THAT? Who would want THAT interacting with customers and employees?

Sugar will have the last laugh when she gets a job FIRST.

That said, Corrine just grosses me out. I teach at the university where she went to undergrad, and it’s a fine school and all, but I would not go so far as to say that every one of my students is a stellar example of an educated individual. College education, like so much else, is what you make of it. I have some truly outstanding students who really impress me, and I have some who still don’t know that a sentence requires a subject, a verb, and a noun. So… just because Corrine got a college degree doesn’t make her “educated;” it just means she was privileged enough to get to go to college. Given that I saw her do nothing brilliant on the show and demonstrate zero understanding of how to relate to human beings, I would hazard a guess that she did not take advantage of her education to the point that she should be lording it over other people. Not that anyone should, but anyway.

On top of everything else Corinne has said and done, it disgusts me that she insulted Sugar for being “uneducated.” I’m sure whatever proper finishing school Corinne attended is thrilled to be associated with her. Also, Corinne is now as unemployed as Sugar (less so, since Sugar has actually done movies since the season aired), as she had to quit her job to go on the show and she can’t get it back because of the economy. Ironic, huh? Also, I don’t know what the monetary prize is for coming in third, but Sugar got it and Corinne didn’t, so Corinne can, once again, and not for the last time, bite me.
