Survivor

[717495]

I think Colton is playing a good strategic game so far, but I am rooting for Chelsea to win.

That would be nice; she seems to have that winner's aura about her.

I know we're just the helpless audience, but it seems like they would seriously have somewhat of a clue, about how the game works. That Christina got a new tribe and wanted to be friends instead seemed to have completely hexed her ability to think long term. It's either alliance vs alliance, or the hierarchy/food chain. When it's down to 6 especially, it's no longer time to let someone else call the shots, because now you're sitting ducks no matter how the dice rolls (unless she's counting on the show to save her.) It's time to make a discrete move and gain the upper hand.

However on a purely Survivor standpoint, the game seems to be doing well. The challenges haven't gotten any lamer, the areas and sidequests haven't been depleted more, and they've been pumping up the ritzy drama like always, with a few common camp themes, but they haven't declined from there.

Updated in OP:

Gregory Smith ("Tarzan"): Te-ESTj
Jay Byars: Fe-INFp

Sabrina is still an enigma to me, so I have no idea what her type could be.

[717495]

I'm really liking the ESTj with the pink clothes and glow in the dark shoes this season. Looks like a possibly worthy contender.

Anyway, this season [25] could be decent. Many more strong personalities this time, I like the logic of it. I like the 3 tribes and the dominant players forming within them. So much more interesting than 2 tribes, if you ask me. Once the merge happens then we will see that larger tribe dynamic and more shifts, but for now it kind of works.

[Smilex]

I used to prefer typing apprentice to typing survivor because apprentice had the competitors acting in an environment and with a skill set that was more "normal" for them. But Trump has kind of tainted the apprentice and it feels difficult to watch the series.
Also, alliances are more of a thing in Survivor and social relations helps typing so there's that.


So let's see about some of these old seasons again...
Survivor 3, based on 5 first episodes


Diane Ogden 42, mail carrier Esfj
-I don't necessarily want to command, I just want to get us there...
-I just went at my pace which is probably faster than most people...
-I didn't ask for beans, he said he'd open up a can because I needed to eat.
Smiles self-satisfied when people turn against Clarence.
-You called me a liar which I did not appreciate because I'm not one.


Jessie Camacho 26, deputy sheriff - ISFj
Very confrontational when posing for the photoshoot
I dont think anybody, unless they've been put into a situation like this, really know how water your body really needs - I mean heh heh, I really need water right now... I really do, I'm so dehydrated
I don't think any of us are going to sleep tonight, we're just going to boil water and drink
He came up to me and was looking for my approval on how I felt about him and what he had done. He needed me to tell if it was going to be ok.


Clarence Black 24, high school basketball coach ESTP-Se
Behaves protectively towards exhausted Diane but looks for a way out of the situation, saying to people taking a water trip:" So you need me to go or ehh? [no] ... so I'm gonna stay take care of her..-
-Diane said the best thing to do would be to get something to eat, because we wanted to get our strength up. So I said I'll do that, I'll open up a can.
-I did not open a can for me, I opened a can for her!
-I know I did some things today and I feel horrible about it and you don't feel like that with strangers, you feel like that with people you seriously care about.
-If you don't drink it, how are you going to physically help us in challenges?
I'll eat dirt right now if you want me to - whatever it takes.


Kelly Goldsmith 22, Behavioural research analyst - INFj
I think we're all worried about Jessie - throwing up when there's so little hydration
you know the hardest thing I would have to say. I'm unaccustomed to such physical drain, you know I'm unaccustomed to having to work for my food, work for my water. Very unaccustomed to it.
There's nothing I wouldn't eat. You know, it could be beef brain, goat testicles, whatever. It sounds good - breakfast.
I just feel like a big loser. I couldn't chug beer in college and I couldn't chug beer here.
Cause of me... I know, it's awful, I feel terrible... it sucks too, it wasn't something I was unprepared to do, it wasn't something I was incapable of, it was something I was excited for
You guys can lift me up in the air and I'll wave [as a sign to an airplane]
We could find this as a way to find all sorts of information on their team.
We've worked really hard and suffered a lot with no food and no water and stuff like that and just to see people here who don't take it seriously and to be stuck with them... it's painful.
Lindsey, everyone thinks she's really annoying.


Tom Buchanan 45, Goat farmer - ISTj
-Something tells me should count our food, Clarence loo-oves them cherries.
-Everybody ready? Let's go.
-Hey Clarence, Diane told us you wanted to eat something while we was gone, you have - you need to confess up
-you made a poor judgment call.
-You made a call for all of us, and I don't think you got that right! You don't eat without all of us. Apologize to that woman, cause you took her food, apologize...
-I forgive but I don't forget.
-I'm here to tell you that she [Jessie] is saying that she's all right. (Defending Jessie)
Just like a father figure I told Clarence exactly what I felt and I thought, he's done nothing but done better since then. I've worked closely with clarence...
Tries to climb a 50 feet palm tree to collect nuts, is called back down by a laughing Clarence.
I don't know... they keep waiting for a mysterious thing to happen here in africa, wood's going to fall down from the sky, there's going to be an artesian well in the middle of the camp, I don't know maybe a swimming pool. BUt I don't think it's going to happen. We're going to have to go there and... pull the plow.
After having removed a tick from Lindsey's butt, slaps her butt.


Lex van den Berghe 38, marketing manager - ENTj
Anybody knows.... You don't boil your water here, you end up with what they call amoebic dysentery which basically has you puking and crapping your guts out..
We need to start over, because right now we're wondering if we can leave anyone alone!
Today we got to kick one of us out, today was not a good day to do this [Clarence to steal food]
We were presented with an unfortunate situation but it ended up working really in our favor cause now everybody knows exactly what Clarence is about. He can't hide anymore.
You know nobody here's going to tell you if they're not feeling all right. If they're sick they don't want to show anybody that they're weak


Kim Johnson 56, retired school teacher. ESTj
I can not help
It was my time to screw up, nut I'm a competitor, I've competed my whole life and I just want you to know that while I appreciate the great things you are saying, you guys would feel exactly the same. I tried to give it my best but it was my turn to screw up.
I'm feeling like I'm being in a very vulnerable position because I did fall. YOu can not help but be mad. You say the right the words, you say to the person, it's ok. But you know it's not ok. All things being equal, it's a reason to vote me off.
I don't like to be that terrible at something. It's terrible.

Ethan Zohn 27, soccer player - ENFp-Fi
Initially befriends clarence easily but becomes angry that when everyone is eating, Clarence takes two cherries instead of one:" I was eyeing people with this because I want my equal share of cherries... I mean it's so silly, we're talking cherries here, we're starving. And I definitely, definitely saw Clarence taking two cherries one time... Everyone's gonna take one cherry and pass it on, and I saw him take two.
I'm very impressed that he stayed behind and helped Diane because she was feeling sick, you know that was a very noble thing to do.
She's by far the weakest person of our team right now, she killed us in the challenge. Not forgetting what clarence did but look he's a big strong guy and we need him.
Just trying to help...
This game breeds paranoia - when two people go off to the distance you kind of instantly think they're talking about you. ... they're trying to vote me off or something.
Everyone trusts lex, he's on everyone's team right now, he's on everyones side ... that's why i'm a little paranoid - for all i know lex is playing both sides of the fence... plotting against me - you have no idea
My stomach dropped ... everything I'd worked for, all the bonds that I'd made, two closest friends on the team were now gone.



Samburu
Carl Bilancione 46, Dentist ESTj
I've been working my buns off and Frank's been working his buns off because you know, other people don't do that.
See this grassy knoll over there, conspiracy! (looking at other players talking)
We've got to stick tight, no doubt, no questions.
I'm not trying to get anybody hurt, but they have to understand - they know what they signed up
You see a strong foursome here and a weak threesome here, you'd be a complete fool not to stay with the tight four
Very mature... they're trying to get under our skin, and it's working.


Linda Spencer 44, career councillor ENFJ
-This is really mother continent for me, I don't know if this makes any sense but mother Africa, and I've been here before and I have tremendous respect and when the tribe was joking ... my initial reaction was... Oh my god, they're so disrespectful
[On who's the least physically strong member of the team] It's me, it's me.
[about sick Lindsey]: I get this funny thought I was probably the last person she wanted to stumble upon her. One of the things Lindsey likes to say on a regular basis is how STRONG she is, that she's the strongest person she knows. Guess she's not so strong...
It was difficult hearing comments when they came back like Lindsay was saying 'they ***ed with the wrong girl' and comments like 'come here team' and they really meant the four of them. It was no accident cause I was sitting right there.
-(with extreme theatrics and sarcasm): Hey guys, hate to wake you up, we got mail. And we got thirty minutes. Who would like to read this? ... Why don't one of you read it. ... Rise and shine, it's a beautiful day!
You know what anger is? Anger is a cover for sadness... when we're angry.... [forces a hug, moves off] I respect your space.

Silas Gaither 23, Bartender - ENTp
When carrying a stretcher, pushes Brandon to accept a carrying position good for Silas, bad for Brandon.
First to find the informational note.
Quick to befriend Frank.
Makes fire with magnifying glass
What's being said and whats being done is just totally different things.
I know what you mean... strongest survive, I know the damn game.
sometimes you can't be a nice guy, we're all here to win and sometimes, you know the nice guy finishes last and that's a fact.
-I'm going to do what it takes to win. It's interesting, things are changing all the time.
-I'm trying to get under everybody's skin.
-In a group like this you have to bend. If you don't bend, you break.
-Whoevery won that tribal council ... more or less took over the tribe.
-THe thing about Lindsey, of course she handled it wrong. We needed their support and we needed to be kind to them, but boy she really just kind of flew off.


Lindsey Richter, advertising executive- Estp
The comfort level of sleeping is something that could definitely use a little bit of something, I don't think anybody's got a good night of sleep since we've been here so that's tough.
Sitting around watching groups of people talking to the side you get that little anxiety in you.
Silas came back from the watering hole and i felt just that little bit of apprehension... and i just got curious cause i'm thinking i just want to know what's going on
When Brandon was cooking he said that we should have first dibs and we should eat out as much as we can and leave them what's left. If they want more they can make more, it's fine.
[we were like] Kids on the fifth grade
Frankly the four of us would like to possibyl see an older persons have a weak moment in a competition so they could all open their eyes. They keep saying - stick with me we'll weed the weak ones out.
I'd rather die right now than deal with this pain, I swear to god... If we don't frank out of here, I'm going to kill myself.
I'm not the most domestic person around, I don't know how to cook the mush ... I put in my work when I need to and in the challenges nobody can stop me.
-By the time we got back to camp I got really angry. Just like - it all hit me - oh my god, they picked me, those bastards, huh huh and I just got really angry and I wanted to lash out and just wanted to mad at those three people.
When I'm pumped you don't want to **** with me .... don't underestimate me people.
You're punishing us for not telling you...

Brandon Quinton 25, Dallas, bartender INFp-Ni
- We've got to get water in the next hour or we're like ... so screwed.
- We're almost like two different teams, our camp is split according to age.
-DOn't ever forget what they've put us through last six days. They're conniving miserable little people
-If I'm cooking, my team get a little bit bigger portion.
To the opposing part of the tribe: Breakfast is burnt, we left it on the fire.
It bugs me because he talks continuously about how much money he has.
-Linda this morning really came unglued. She has two very very different sides. She's like this sweet New England mom and then there's this ... I don't know ...crazy woman side too.
-Everyone should vote for Lindsey (-And what's in it for us?) -NOTHING!
Said with and evil grin: The minute we were about to be honest with you, you said 'what's in it for me'... so why in the world would we do that... bitter taste in the mouth right there
I'm not used to all these emotional people ... This is a game and you know we're supposed to be thinking.... It's very frustrating for me to see a clear picture and have these people living in the moment and not hearing at all that the things they say have huge consequences on what happens two days from now.

Frank Garrison 43, Telephone technician - ESTj
[Which branch of armed services?] - I was in the American branch!
Brandon describing Frank: "No compassion at all"
Silas is the key.
Linda's so concrete she's buried in the bottom of the hoover dam
After drinking cow's blood wipes his hands on his cheeks for cosmetic effect
You'd have to be a damn fool obviously for me to go a 110% out there, to drain my body of all energy for a bunch of kids who don't appreciate it.
About sick Lindsey: Barbie went down in Africa.
Tensions are high. You could cut it with a knife right through the air. The younger people, they know we're going to tribal council tonight. If you're excess baggage, get the hell out of my way, I'm not going to deal with it. Not under these conditions.
-Damn you carl for leaving me with a bunch of misfits to go camping with. It's going to be pretty miserable for the next couple of days.
-I was going to sit back. They were the majority, let's see how they run the household.
-My plan of attack was to let the comfort level sink completely low and... I know they would break down and you could see that things were falling apart.
-The water thing I can't ignore. Believe me, if it was just me and them I'd let them fall flat on their faces. They don't give a damn you know. But I can't do that to linda and teresa, I feel compelled to you know protect them and make life easy for them.

Kim Powers 29, Freelance marketer ISFp
Describing Frank: He was trying to hurry us along and that's not my style, I like to bond, I like to talk to people. ... - I'm not military, I don't need all that structure, we'll get stuff done without every single thing being a rule.
- The water needs to be boiled over a fire at least five minutes before we can drink it.
- I don't know a lot about telescopes but I do know a magnifying glass can start a fire and I had no idea whether that was a magnifying glass but I unscrewed the telescope pulled out the lens and Silas was right there so I said Silas, isn't there something we can do with this?
-It's a game and it was our strategy to drive them crazy.
We're all friends, but on different levels.
-Our group was going... they're doing all the work... fine with us, we won't do any of it. We're more focused on the split in the tribe and manipulating people into doing that than we were about any other part of surviving out here.
-Can we get our act together *laugh* what is wrong with us? You know we crack pots, we whine, we complain, we have problems, people are fighting.

Teresa Cooper 42, Flight attendant INTj
-I really like the younger people but for me to really be in the game as long as I can I need to be on the stronger side and this point I feel like it's Carl, Frank and Linda.
-Of course with me being pretty direct and not wanting to be dishonest all I could say was... yeah
-We're just wondering if Silas is still with us or not. My gut feeling is saying he's playing both sides but I can't be sure
-It's a game, which they utter every minute. it's a game.. But I felt so good last time because we got to them and it feels good.

Comparing to the older version I have to admit that I didn't use to be that good at typing persons. I've certainly got better though of course, still I make errors (as does everyone). I used to go more by the stereotypes and I used to have more of a bias based on limited experiences of types. Oh well... live and learn.

[Smilex]

Season 4, first 3 episodes.
The edit of this season is more uneven than for the previous one. They give more time to certain characters and only use some to comment on very basic events that concern everyone instead of their own thoughts or gameplay. Also, they give more screen time for one of the tribes because they keep losing and they want to show why each individual of that tribe was chosen for eviction.

Maraamu

-We had seen a lot of coves and we weren't sure this was the one and I thought it was th one and then finally seeing that flag, coming home, it was great.
-The problem with lighting the fire is maintaining the air flow to keep it going. People know that I'm into yoga. I did that about ten years ago. In yoga you breathe from the diaphragm, I was able to take nice long deep breaths. Yoga definitely helps with lighting fire.
-I'm a workaholic anywho, I caught myself trying to do too much. You know everyone's trying to put their best face forward and show that they're an integral part of the team. And all of a sudden I realized I just had to slow down and then I went down and talked to Sean. Sean is always telling me to chill.
[Probst: Peter, you feel like you fit in with this group?]. Peter: Actually I never felt comfortable, once I got on land. It just didn't feel quite right to me. I was very surprised. I thought it was going to be a piece of cake for me.

-Hunter's leadership role started... when we got here, you know, immediately he understood we needed ... fire.
-the impression the tribe gave me was I needed to be voted off to keep the tribe strong. I'm not weak. I know I'm not 25, I'm twice that. I know I can't keep up in a foot race but I can be steady. I can endure.
-I was tryin to build a chicken trap. I've never done this before but I've got a concept up here *points head*


Hunter Ellis 33, La Jolla, CA ENTj-Ni

He currently lives in La Jolla, Calif., where he enjoys all outdoor sports. An avid traveler, Ellis makes annual visits to Tavarua, Fiji, and Whistler, British Columbia, to surf and ski, respectively.
-At times Rob is occupied with things that don't really pertain to the survival needs of the moment... He wants to chase chickens, I don't really think he knows how to clean a chicken.
-That's why I get a little bit frustrated because if we get a lot of firewood, we get the water going, if we finish the shelter, if we got those things, then we deal with luxury items.
-We're going to go hike up to the water source, go check it out. We got a little bit of an adventure but we need to get the water so we can start to tackle all the other things without getting dehydrated.
-There are a number of contributors in the camp. Mama who you would think to be the least likely, maybe is one of the strongest
-Patricia has some great ideas. She loves to nag me. She loves to nag everybody. I'm not sure we needed the nagging but that's patricia, she likes to do that. She's a mom. She's always gonna be a mom.
-We have some people who are here seriously wanting to play this game and survive. I think we have others here who think it's a vacation.
-Everyone's like what is the problem, and I don't have the heart to say it but to me winning is an attitude you carry 100% of the time every day all the time. Its not something you turn on an hour before you go to a challenge. We would be winning more of these things if we were working together in camp. THere's where the basis of team work begins.


Sarah Jones 24, Newport Beach, CA INTp-Ni
Most recently, Jones worked as an account manager for a clothing company while also doing freelance work as a still photographer. In addition, she works part-time as a representative for a major beverage company while also maintaining work as a food server/cocktail waitress at a major restaurant chain. She enjoys rock climbing, dancing and traveling in her free time.
[While others are swimming to push the raft, sits on the raft and yells] Kick, kick!
-I would have to say, I'm gonna vote for Peter. He's got this strange smirk on his face. Always looks like he's up to something. He's just strange.
(me and Rob) We're the two youngest people in the tribe so we just laugh at each others' jokes and have a good time. I'm definitely attracted to Rob and I hope he's the same.
-I've been saying for two days that we need to put on the palm fronds to make it (the roof) waterproof and for two days no one's gonna listen to me and now all of a sudden Hunter has this great idea to do it and everyone wants to do it.
I work sixteen hour days when I'm at home I didn't come here to do that. I came here to play the game and meet cool people and have this adventure ... and I mean we're definitely working. I will admit I do less of the work but I'm trying to save my energy. I don't want to personally be the one to lose a challenge because I don't have enough energy-

-I'm already in love with Hunter. He's a great person, we have so much in common. Hunter knows a little bit about everything.
They got into the raft that we had paddle in on and they kind of hung out away from everybody else and were there pretty much the entire night. So at that point that was another question, what were they saying, you know. Are they flirting or are they making an alliance. And you should not put yourself into that situation if you don't want people to think that.
-Miss Tricia (patricia) has definitely changed since the last tribal council. When we got back she's a totally thing. The next morning she was up, she was collecting firewood. She won't sit down, she won't rest. I think she's being herself now. She was at first a little scared she was going to get voted off.
-she (Sarah) goes up and says 'we need to put some here and put some there, I told you that three days ago' She always says to you she's gonna do this and we need to do this but she never does anything on her own.
The vibe on the morning after Sarah left was just really good, I think they wanted her gone as much as I did. We just bonded and we knew our team was pretty much complete at that point.
-words could not explain how I felt when we won. I was so happy and so ecstatic. It was the first time I felt like I had been on a real team.

Mariano attended Boston University where he boxed and played rugby. In 1999, Mariano graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology. He aspires to one day become a doctor. His hobbies include hockey, fishing and playing cards.
-Sean and Peter immediately bonded. They went to the water and they had their prayer-baptism revival. This told me that either Sean and Peter were starting the game off really early or they were definitely off their rockers.
*laughs at hunter* -The prevailing wind? Is this a weather station over here? *sticks thumb up in the air pretending to feel the wind.
-When I first arrived there and I realized that we had no food at all and I didn't want to be eating lemons and grapefruits the entire time we're here, I decided I would try to get some meat for us. There are chickens and pigs on this area.
-I had no idea that roosters could fly, but this rooster took off like a 747 - he was out of there and that was it.
-I realize I'm going to have to work hard to stay in-group now... and that this is essentially going to be my fate.
[regarding Peter]: He looks like a normal guy but he goes on and on about being holey and I'm thinking he's talking about spiritualness but he's talking about actual holes in your body. I mean, he's a fruit loop.
- At times Sarah can be an asset because she votes whatever way I want her to, but at times it's like I'm playing survivor for two. I have to constantly be watching her because she's not really doing too much around here.
-I was very discouraged and I let my team down in a way. It was maybe my night. If people want to vote me out tonight I could understand why, yes.
-Everybody wants to think they're the big man. The smart guy will sit back and let everybody be the big man and then in the end bank in on their mistakes.
-To be honest with you, my first impression of Sean was that he's just like a lazy, loud about this and that and calls for the drama but I've really got to like him, I think he's a pretty good person.
-It doesn't matter that my team is stronger physicall or even mentally. Just that they obey.
-It's all on how smart these people are. If they realize they need you that's what will keep them loyal. Right. Fear, basically. It's a tough principle. But fear keeps people loyal. If they're afraid, if they got something to lose then they'll do what you tell them to do. That's straight out of Godfather. It's true.


Sean Rector 30, Harlem, NY ENFj-Fe

[as we were rowing to get to the land]-It was quite evident that sarah wasn't doing anything at all... It was almost like Cleopatra, the servants are paddling and lifting and she's just sitting on the crate looking so modelesque with her boobs hanging out and her goldilocks in the air. Save it, this is Survivor.
-Its emotional when I think about the miracles that got us to perform, for me, we did not do this on our own. Definitely it was His hand guiding us.
-My nick name for Hunter is McGyver, simply because he got way too much energy for me out here.
-Hunter's starting to be a focal point, where everybody's got to check with him first. I'm an alpha male too, so I find it hard to just follow somebody just blindly... THey gotta know I'm from Harlem and I'm representing.
-Party's over. We first got here, we started fire early, everybody got to work, but now we lost a challenge, and reality's setting in, somebody got to go.
-I was thinking who I wanted to vote out and I thougt maybe Sarah. Other than having two flotationt devices... what value is she to the group. It's not chauvinistic but the more males you have in the camp, the better, I think.
-She (Patricia) is doing too much talking. At first it was endearing cause it seemed natural but now it's like: 'momma got to work, momma can't sit down'.

-Sarah has a very cute body, she paid a lot for it. And if you have it, of course, flaunt it. I do not necessarily think she was using that body to get to this game but I do think if she connects with the right individual, then that will definitely help her get through.
-I value the fact that Hunter did step up, cause I wouldn't want it any other way. He has been optimistic, he has been open.
-Sean is what I'd call Malcolm Farrakhan. He's got that Malcolm X militant type brother and then he's got that real intelligent, outspoken type young man.
-sarah knows that she's just a liability here in this and she's just here for the ride whoever wants to carry her is gonna carry her as long as we can go.
-Zero four totally sucks. We have four l's (losses). And we need a W bad. Sometimes you need a fierce competitor... We got 4 l's. It sucks but you gotta go on.
-As far as drama, I ain't with it.
-It's cool to finally get the chance to talk to all of you.

-Kathy slips very easily into the role of the skipper, maybe its her personality. Maybe its the difficulty of being out here, but we didn't need a skipper.
-I love being in this tribe. I love everyone... out here and how they choose to interact with each other in positive ways. But Kathy is not trying to be one of us, to get along with us. SHe sleeps alone next to the fire.
-Being a big guy comes with needing a lot of food.I think it's taken the biggest toll on him not[Robert] having what he's used to

-We were soaking wet and we had limited amount of daylight wet.. the first thing was to get fire.
-Kathy was like 'we have to have fire, we have to have it right now'. We tried the two pieces of wood -method.
-Kathy, how many hours did you [try to make fire] yesterday, don't lie! You tell me.
To have somebody say 'the sky is falling, the sky is falling, the sky is falling', it really started to get, you know, grating.
-she sparked it, and I felt bad about it, and so I became fixated on getting the fire,to basically neutralize my outburst, so I was like 'damn it, I'm starting a fire'
-Once we had the fire, then everything was forgotten, and then you know, she really started to come around with her personality and attempting to bond.
-If I can catch a pig, I might as well set my table at the final four.
-Within the tribe youre tryin to develop a hierarchy. I want to be as high as possible. Highest place I think you caN Be is to provide food to the tribe, spesifically protein.
-Kathy is borderline abrasive as for her communication style and there's a little bit of condescending behaviour when she talks to people.
-It was like a mixed blessing to me (finding clams). I'm happy to have the protein, great. I just wish I had been the one to find it.

to Tammi: You want me to tell you... from the get go, I didn't like you, I didn't really dig you, I didn't dig the way your eyes were, your presentation.
-I'm distancing myself from Tammy at this point. I'm here to win. I'm here to be the final survivor. If I had to say something to someone and do something exactly opposite without them knowing, without them finding out later, well... that's just the way it is - the way life is.

-Everything can change in a heartbeat. Here John has gotten hurt twice today. Things change just like that out here.
-John's pushed Gabe a little bit too far. He hammered him on it, he pushed. And he's still got a chip on his shoulder about it.
-Swear you're not playing me... If you're playing me I swear I'll kick your ass.
-I think we're still very upbeat. It was gonna happen sometime. We would lose immunity or we would lose some challenge. But we had a good roll and we're still optimistic that we'll keep winning.
Three quarters of the time we're here, we spend fantasizing about food. So it was a huge, HUGE disappointment when they said we did not win.
I hate the fact that I'm in this challenge and you don't want to win this.
-I have changed my opinion on Zoe. Zoe's a bitch. I mean she's just trying to save her own butt right now. Maybe her true colors will start to shine through and somebody will figure who she is and want to vote her off instead of me.

-As my luxury item I chose the american flag because I'm extremely patriotic. It's such a wonderful symbol of what this group is about.
-Neleh, she's just got that little pixie-look. Her attitude, he vivaciousness, it reminds me of my two daughters at home.

-Hey guys, this is the way, I found the way! I did not want to get into that ... blonde bitchy persona at all, because I'm really not. The only time I get assertive is when I see that a critical job is not getting done.
-Now that we found this waterhole, it's dynamite. Now what's just needed is that damn fire. So I'm just going to work on that fire when we get back, work on it until it gets dark.
-I don't have any support here. I'm frustrated.
-It's only the fourth day and we don't have any food.. The ocean has food in it, so I knew it was out here somewhere
-Let me explain so we do this right. They're (clams) under the rocks so this is what I did. I flipped one of these and there were like two or three right there.
(about peeing on John's hand to relieve the pain of a sea urchin sting): Finally when I was pulling up my pants I suddenly got very embarrassed. At least I performed on the call of duty.
-we were relishing every little item we took from Rotu, but most of all we were happy to put a dent in the big tribe,, and we were happy that they lost.

-I found it interesting to realize that none of our team knew how to paddle the boat.
-Amy got a little sick. What I think it was that she just got a little dehydrated.
-Who's to say who's the most vulnerable, but I know everybody's thinking that we need a strong team. Now Ghandia, physical challenges are not going to be her thing, obviously mental challenges are not going to be her thing. Sorry Ghandia, but somebody's got to go. Might as well be you.

-If we were going to be an all women tribe I thought we were totally going to kick the men's ass cause women are just better at multitasking and we handle pain better
-I was like Oh my God, this is my tribe, this is my home.
-When we got within eyesight of John and Tanya and Helen I was kind of wondering why John or Helen didn't come out and get us with the canoe. ANd then we got there John decides that it would be funny to play a joke on us. I was happy and telling him 'that was a good joke' but then all the while I'm thinking that it wasn't really a time to joke about just that.
-The boat that we have is a piece of crap - it fills with sand, it fills with water, we have to tilt it over, it's extremely heavy. With our water source being as far as it is, it just makes the journey to go get water even more frustrating.
-I think it would be good to distract the other team with my cleavage and if the need be ... I could pull the boobs out to distract the guys on the other side.
-I'm not sure who I'm going to vote for, it's a toss-up. There's somebody who I want to vote for because she's getting on my nerves, which is Helen. And then there's somebody I don't necessarily want to vote for but I think she's ready to go, which is Tanya.
-I heard from Helen that Ted told Brian that nothing had happened. And something had happened. Which really really set me off.

-They thought they would be able to walk all over us in challenges et cetera. They're going to be surprised.
-Sometime when I'm sleeping, you know, it's like in the middle of the night, I'm thinking I'm sleeping with my wife so I think what we need to do is I'm not gonna hug you, I'm not gonna hold you because I keep on forgetting that I'm not in bed with my wife. I'm not like trying to start something with you and I apologize if I've offended you. I mean it wasn't done maliciously. It wasn't done trying to start anything with you. Please from the bottom of my heart, I do apologize. Why are you crying? What's wrong.

-We figured out quickly as a team that you needed to turn the boat around and the other team didn't figure that out. THe other team is uh quite a bit younger and they're... little kids. They were thinking it was a race and we knew it wasn't
-Tanya unfortunately has a shot at being voted out of here, and I only think that because she's had a tough time out here. If everybody voted her off tonight, it would be because they feel sorry for her.
-Tonight we're going to tribal council. I got to vote somebody out. I'm sick about it, I don't want to think about it. It's like voting out somebody from your family.
-We went beyond the right cove into, the absolute the wrong cove, it was like, huge, huuuge mistake. It was like a honeycomb of snakeholes and Jan nicely volunteered to stay with the boat on all the explorations.
-It's my 20th wedding anniversary. I'm thinking about my husband today and uh would be nice being home, I would've liked dinner, but he knows where I am and what I'm doing so...
-I was feeling paranoid all day because I could tell they were keeping me out of things and deliberately going off without me. I was getting really nervous that maybe they were going to vote me off. (while the others were planning a surprise party for her).
-You'd have to be crazy not to think that way. I wonder every day like, gee I wonder if they like me, I wonder if I had said the right thing. Do they find me in control all the time. I mean they threw me this wonderful anniversary party the other night and I tell you it was all I could keep from doing to not run to the back of the cave and absolutely cry. I really tried to hold it together but it was one of the nicest things anyone's ever done for me. I was touched. ... Don't start. I'm under orders not to cry.
-With Ted you're dealing with a macho has-been football player who's still living in those glory days. It's hard for any woman to break into that as a friend or as a teammate.
-I know the girls are gonna think I betrayed them and I've gotta live with that but it was one of those necessary evils. Had to be done but it wasn't enjoyable to do. And, uh. If that gets me further ahead then so be it.

-We needed a morale booster. We didn't get it but we're going to get it, that's all I'm saying.

-I'm the oldest and smallest sitting there and I knew I would be last. But they got a diamond in the rough that they don't know.
-It's difficult anytime you walk in - don't know anybody. First you got to kind of figure out who these people are and what makes them tick and the problem is when somebody steps in and disagrees with what goes on. That's where your problem will come in.
-Helen and Jan didn't take the map with them, they thought they could figure it out and that's one of Helen's ideas. I know where it is and I know how to do it, let's go.
-My luxury item is a golf club and we've set up three holes. We've got a par five, a par three and a par six.
-Everything is serious, serious. I mean there's no play to her (Helen). She's supposed to be some kind of marine expert, she's got the personality of an encyclopedia, nothing in there you want to read. You only open it when you want information.
-We're happy. We understood each other's personalities, we liked each others' personalities. It was a meeting of minds, everybody... the personalities didn't clash, they clicked.
-Got some ass-kicking to do fellas.
-That was the most childish act she done here so far. Ghandia gone down the beach and cry, holler and carry on. My ten-year-old did that one time, I whooped his ass and put him back in bed.

-I'm having a good time doing it but at the same time this is a business trip, as I like to say.
-If you judge people by surface, by just sheer looks, you're a very shallow person and you first play yourself. You gotta go a lot deeper than that and really get to know people and it's all about love. So it's a beautiful thing once you get to know everyone and not judge the book by its cover. It's very important, very important.
-It was quite the surprise when it got back to me that there's a problem with Ghandia and Ted and I'm like... the first thing I'm thinking is that I'm highly disappointed that some of these actions but I don't know what was happening or what wasn't happening. I wanted to sit back and hear both sides of the story.
-I think one of the most important skills is, especially out here, is just listening, taking it all in, not saying much. Even when you're hungry as heck, hot as heck, the emotions are high. You gotta remember to keep that character cool
-I know I'm very low-key, very subtle. Very shark-like, very swift. I move when I need to move, speak when I need to speak. ... win that favoritism, win that friendship, and I keep moving forward.

-Spending your energy building a shelter seems kinda frivolous to me. You know it's the fourth day and I'm done.
-We're not expecting anything. We'll live on snails for a week or two and then drop like flies probably

She is most proud of being the first female firefighter for the City of Fayetteville in Arkansas. Her favorite activities include running, mountain biking and climbing. She describes herself as athletic, adventurous and romantic. She intends to participate in various adventure races and triathlons and dreams of one day living in New Zealand. Her perfect day would begin with a run on a rainy day through a forest path to a canoe on a secluded lake. She would paddle to her cabin, build a fire, drink hot cocoa, draw and listen to music.
-Maybe I'm looking at it all wrong and maybe they're looking at it right. Maybe we really don't need food and water.
-I just don't think they understand what they have to do to survive in a situation like this. If you run down... Jed's pretty much taken care of food and I've been primarily the water. So if you took the two of us out of the equation I'm not sure how the other six would do.
-Oh, it definitely will (lack of food), it's already changed my mood. I think it's a little bit harder on people who are really good shape and need the calories and their bodies are used to burning a lot of calories that go with that food. I think that they tend to sink faster. I mean it looks like that in the tribe to me. ... It could get bad.
-They got rid of Jed. Piss on them. I really couldn't believe them. I was shocked. As hard as this is I don't think you get rid of the people who are helping you.
-You know, I don't understand them at all with food around...in their face and everyone whining about being hungry. It just disgusts me.
-You know just because I'm not running out and hugging and loving and touching and feeling all over everybody... I'm not like that a whole lot anyway. The reason that there's I mean the niceness is spread around is cause everyone's not starved to death. I mean to starve to death will make you an ass.

An adventure-seeker at heart, he has also cliff jumped, sky dived and bungee jumped, among other things. He considers his father, his brother-in-law and Muhammad Ali to be his heroes. An avid poetry writer, he enjoys reading nonfiction and motivational books.
-I don't want to be on the little old lady's team. Like I saw as she started picking and I was thinking... don't make eye contact, don't make eye contact.
(On Stephanie) I've never met a girl that independent and like so secure about her sexuality.
-The way I look at it is, we're just spinning our wheels, so many people are going in so many directions and doing stuff, but they're not producing anything.
-That other team, they're definitely inferior to our youth and our strength. We definitely got all the hot chicks, or most of them. We definitely got the young strong guys, which is huge.
-Jed didn't necessarily help us at all with shelter which I was kind of upset about but he's done a lot of work.
-This has definitely got to be the weakest I've ever felt in my life. The most fatigue and the most drain I've ever felt. None of us have the energy to do anything.
-I don't mind getting beaten but after the reward challenge I was so bitter. We got chumped. That last time he came at me and I put my hands out and pushed him in. He's a weak little whiny punk. Backwards hick. *makes monkey sounds* Screaming at me. I want to spit in his face. (About throttling a small old guy who he hasn't ever talked with and knows nothing about).
-That's all I'm saying. We're eight strong, we're going into this immunity challenge, the one that counts. We're going to kick their ass.. Bottom line. We got beat today dude but it wasn't by somebody better than us. I'm not going to be a sore loser, we lost dude. We lost by a bunch of rules.
-I think I'm just a happy go lucky kid. Doing whatever. I'm just trying to apply myself everywhere and help and stay happy. At this point a lot of us are really drained. I mean we're used to eating so much and having energy. I'm a high energy kind of guy

-My ideal situation - what should have happend was we should have landed, we should have hugged and we would have immediately drawn up the plans for a shelter ... instead we all went wild
(On Stephanie skinny dipping) Oh my god she was wild, she's crazy. Don't get me wrong. Going skinny dipping everyone should do it but you will not see my ta-tas.
-He (RObb) is messing with the wrong girl, you do not mess with the she-devil and not get the horns, ok.
-Food is one of the things that humans share to show affection but Stephanie and Jed and RObb didn't want to eat any of it. There's so few happy moments here... we're fighting against nature. ... we all want to have a good time, but before the good times we have to work together as a team.
-It's interesting... Jed snubbed the shelter and then came to sleep under the shelter.
-It's not wise to be out in the rain when you have a cold. We can't afford for her to be sick - we'll lose immunity and then the game will really, really begin.
-We're horrible campers, we're terrible outdoorsmen. We are starving. Look at me. I'm like Ally mcBeal-size
-RObb, idiot that he is. He talks so much he can't even... there's no way logical thought goes through his brain, cause his mouth is always flapping.
-We just lost immunity, surprise. You see, I could do a logic puzzle in my sleep. That one that we did today, so easy. WHat happened? I could have stepped in, Jake could have stepped in but did we step in, nah.
-I don't know what Stephanie's problem is, honestly I think she just feels like she's doing all the work which is totally not true and I think she just feels that we're all idiots, which again, is not true...

-You've got to be kidding me. I mean I'm the last... come on! Being last is very humbling and I probably needed that experience.
-We need to have some type of harmony while we're out here, when we have all the other odds against us. The rain, the heat, no food, you know, not much water. So we need to have some kind of unity out here. ... (people who harm unity) We've got to get rid of them.
-With that attitude, nobody want her (Stephanie) around. We have enough of other elements going against us. The rain, the wind. We don't have any food. And then to have somebody be grumpy like that. If I was in her position I would just try to suck it up as well as I could so I could stay on the Island.
-You don't necessarily know what's out there. It could have been something poisonous. It could have been something that's lethal to Robb.

-If I was in his place I would wanna help out as much as possible knowing that I stood out so much. It's one thing to be lazy but to be freaking lazy is another thing
-We have a few lazy people, some are trying to hide it better than others, but Jed ... its not that he's not valuable, he's just flat out lazy. He doesn't do anything, lays around all day. ... It's different to be just lazy and not help us, but he's lazy and hurting us.

-So far the priority has been shelter, so we have not eaten. And I think it's starting to take a toll on us, even though we say that it's not.
-So far we haven't been successful at getting fish in the net. Whether or not we're doing something wrong, I'm not sure. I'm not sure how rewarding that net is to us. I'd like a plate of cheese and crackers.
-I voted for Jed because that's what the majority wanted to do. Jed was trying to run the show and be the leader and wouldn't take anyone else's advice if it wasn't his way. And I think we made a good choice.
-Actually felt like our first real day off since we've been here and we had all day to relax. We had eaten a chicken early in the morning and we felt like we could lay in the sun, you know we all went in the water and played a little bit.
-Trust is something that does shift day by day because we're all here for a million dollars.
-I've had plenty of opportunity to vote Shi Ann out if I wanted to. And I chose not to. Cause I told her the 5 of us should go in strong. I don't feel like I've been manipulative and you know, bottom line is we're still Sookjai(tribe)... these are the people that I need to be with.

-I don't know what Jan was thinking when she picked the people that she picked. I like to see athletic-looking people, so I based picking team on athleticism and just that gleam in their eye that looks like they'll be here for the duration.
-We didn't realize we were paddling the boat backwards. I was steering the boat from the foredeck
-(Robb) The boy has got more enthousiasm than anybody I've ever seen. YOu know I've got a crew that's totally enthousiastic and ready to go but they know nothing.
-Well, we got the brawn, and somebody else has got to furnish the brains.
-THe shelter has become almost an obsession for the tribe, but Stefanie and Jed have not worked on the hut very much which has caused trouble with people who have been working on the hut.

-All the strategy that i had was taken and thrown out the window. It sucks to have a game plan that you like know that will work and now it's like I got eight guys and it's all one big sausage fest.
-Bottom line is, a lot of the girls out there are eye candy, and that's great to look at, I appreciate to look at them. Thank you for wearing bikinis but when it comes down to it I mean it's, you want people that are gonna be useful.
-I saw the course and I was like, we got this in the bag. And the most athletic biggest guy would turn out to be just a meathead, you know. It was Dan's fault. He fell of the wall four times and now I'm the one with my ass on the stove.
-I think everyone of those girls has a unique quality and uh, some have more unique qualities than others, some are physically unique. When it's all said and done, none of those girls are worth a million dollars. And that's where I stand.

-There was leeches and spiders and we all got bit
-I hit rock bottom today when we went out to fish or whatever. We're just, we're not successful at it. You know. The toughest part about this whole experience... I didn't realize how tough it was physically. I think that it's brutal, downright brutal and I didn't plan on that. I mean I planned on it being difficult but not brutal... this is incredible.
-The shelter we have does not live up to its name. It does not shelter us.
-Who I think will go tonight will either be me or CHristy. i can't really know until that moment which of us will go. They're probably deciding it now.
-Strategically I probably should vote for Christy, but instead I probably will vote for Jeanne, because Jeanne's the one that stirred up all of this. She's the one that brought it out and then went around to people and said you know 'I think Janet smuggled in food'. I mean, she really basically stirred it all up.
-JoAnna's an extremely strong woman, incredible strength. And we've really really relied on her, and Deena, both, and I think they did an incredible amount of chopping and you know just the really heavy labour, because they're just really strong women.

-All the guys were really pumped up. There's no way women are going to beat us in anything... physical, mentally or whatever. We're never gonna go to tribal council.
-Dave was upset about us joking around, saying that we've caught fish. It's not a big deal. He needs to lighten up, you know. He's way too serious about this. I mean who does he think he is.. to stand up on a soap box and lecture us about that.
-The thing that irritates me about Roger, is that he just barks orders all the time. He's not very friendly about it. He just tells people what to do. I'm not really speaking to Roger right now. He knows that he wants to vote for me out. And I know I want to vote for him. And also he smells bad. He smells like really spoilt vinegar.
-Matthew and I are great friends out here and he's a really good ally. When he tells you something, he's being truthful. Whereas other guys around here, when they tell you something, you have no idea whether they're telling the truth or they're lying.

(Mother role) I've kind of left that to Deena and Jeanne, I think they do that a little better than I do. I try to keep the spirituality and the emotional stability going so I do a lot of singing and saying quotes and so many things like that. I don't have daughters. I have a boy, who's very boyish and I'm kind of boyish and so I let them do that they're good at.

-I thought we'd be more focused, I thought someone would take the leadership role. But we were disorganized and we're not functioning well. And considering the group we have, it's embarrassing I think, downright embarrassing.
-Everyone's dehydrated. No one went to the bath room yesterday. People are starting to get down.
-Joanna got me motivated today with a little gospel music.She's just got this spirit about her that's.. I think it's great. I think everyone feels it.
-OUr camp is so disorganized because we don't have a leader. You really need to bring it together and unify it and work as a team. Without a leader we're not gonna get it together.
-Christy had asked me what we talk about at night and if I could fill her in, so I said 'you know what, I just want to let you know that JoAnna is not excited about the idol, just want to let you know. And she goes 'that's stupid'. THen JoAnna walked by and it was a dog eat dog situation.
-THis is day seven and our tribe is pretty much pathetic. Definitely the hygiene in the camp is lacking. I thought they cleaned the pot. They didn't clean it out thoroughly and there's wasps all over...

-I just felt so stupid... the guys going off one way, the girls couldn't untie... I couldn't untie a knot
-The fire was an absolute fiasco. The process was to get a little fire going, put on some leaves and other small stuff, put on little sticks, put on bigger stuff, put on big logs. None of this happened. It was ridiculous. Obviously it's lack of firebuilding skills on our part.
-We don't have the necessary stuff to survive right now. We are not surviving. I bet the guys are much better off than us. I've no doubt they had their stuff together before we did.
-The three of us were washing each other, bathing topless in the Amazon river, felt like a soap commercial that went wrong. It felt so good to just to be myself and be partially naked in the Amazon river, I mean, we're in Brazil.
-If we were going tonight I would be very tempted to get out.
-It's truly ironic that the people I aligned myself with are now trapping me inside the game, totally against my will.

Sexton is doing this because he wants to test himself against anyone of any age or gender to see if he can ultimately be the survivor.
-It's gonna be the men against the women. They don't have the strength. They may have the will.
-This kid Ryan and this kid Daniel, they're just, not contributing. You ask them to do stuff and they're just talking to each other, floating around. THey're just useless. They're digging their own grave.
-We are the most macho guys that have ever been on survivor. Good-looking, macho... We're confident we're getting through the first challenge, there's no doubt about that. If we lose to these women, man... we're gonna get ragged on... big time.
-It's humbling but, you know we did our best and the interesting thing was we thought we were gonna get beat on the mental side and they actually beat us on the physical side. That was a shock.
-Rob is the most enthousiastic kid I've ever seen. But I have to be honest. He really is pathetic. I mean to be 24 years old, singing karaoke in your basement.

-Butch had a fantastic luxury item... it's a fabulous motto, you know, it's something to really think about (a banner that says 'believe in yourself') We're building the shelter... these guys, we asked them to go out, get some wines and its like pulling teeth.
-30 seconds of your silence, please. I wanna say this once, cause it's been pissing me off... we performed like a bunch of cocky ass... I think we were baited with a question of how many fish we've caught after the chicks were already asked that question. And I think we answered with a cocky, arrogant answer. Don't bring me down with your bull... I got character and I got integrity... and I don't care if they're girls,guys, but don't lie to them about how good we're doing. Cause we're doing great. But don't lie to them.
-I will not vote Ryan off. WE're from the same home town. I feel there's some connection. But somebody like Daniel, he's not really volunteering to help out, volunteering to get involved. He's not really doing it for me right now.
-I think we're really settling down to a schedule. We've got our shelter built. We're assessing our food. What do we need to do to sustain ourselves for the long haul.
-Today will forever be in my mind as a perfect survivor day. Everything flowed perfect. Everything went our way.

Her hero is her husband, Paul, who works as a sheriff's deputy. If she wins the $1 million, she's getting new flooring for her house
-I was absolutely just overjoyed it was an all female tribe... we can let our hair down, we can pee in front of each other. I'm on an equal playing field because I have seven other people of the same sex.
-Hey guys, we need to have a little team meeting. We need to decide what's really important for this first night here... on this bug-infested, fly-infested, wasp-infested area
-The net effect of the leadership has been that we've so far boiled five pots of water, there is the roof that is pretty much completed, and the camp has been completely cleared out of debris, so that it looks like it's organized. It looks like as if, yes, somebody lives there and cares about their environment and is going to take care of it. We're not starving to death. Some of the girls have been catching fish and I think that's a huge source of protein. It was what was needed to get us at par so we could play the game against the men.
-Shut up! Drink your water like you're supposed to and stop acting like this is the worst day of your entire life.
-I feel as if I'm in control. I am alpha female,top dog at this point. But Jeanne is unbelievably pissed off. I can't even begin to tell you how pissed off Jeanne is.


Alex Bell ENFp
Born on May 16, 1970, Alex Bell grew up in San Francisco and spent two years in the Sierra Nevada Mountains attending boarding school. He also studied communications at Laney College in Oakland, Calif. Bell currently trains individuals for triathlons. He previously worked as a projects manager for Team In Training, a fundraiser for the Leukemia and Lymphomia Society. Prior to that, he was employed by DreamWorks in the creative services and communications departments.
Bell enjoys competing in triathlons, snowboarding and writing. Bell describes himself as funny, determined and intelligent. After a serious struggle with drugs and alcohol during his teens and early twenties, Bell is most proud of turning his life around and maintaining his sobriety for 11 years and credits the unconditional love of his mother and family for helping him through the rough times. If he could be any superhero, he'd want to be Aquaman so he could breathe under water. His favorite movie is "Braveheart." When competing in 'Survivor: The Amazon' he said if he would win the $1 million, he'd buy himself a 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge convertible.
-We've built an interesting woodwork. We're calling it our postmodern survivor shelter. It's not a proper square, we have a little trapezoid action going and some different planes... it's gonna be very nice. I think I'm really relatively sure Home and Garden is gonna come and shoot us later.
-I think initially, we were pretty confident. We were like: 'yeah, gung-ho guys'. Women are not going to just roll over. They're going to want to compete even harder because it is women against men. And today's proof of it. We worked really hard. We got beat. We had a bad day. That's all it comes down to.
-First of all I'm straight so I don't know what it is to be homosexual and Roger's straight so he doesn't know either. What it comes down to is, if it's what makes you happy and if it's not hurting anybody, then who cares.


Christy Smith ENFp
Christy Smith attended high school and college in Washington, D.C., where she received a Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology/criminology from Gallaudet University. She most recently worked as a children's adventure guide for the Aspen Camp School for the Deaf. Previous to that, she worked as a facilitator at Hemlock Overlook in Virginia.
Smith is deaf (she can hear minimal sounds but relies on lip-reading skills). Her primary motives for being on Survivor are to promote awareness for the deaf…and win $1 million. Her favorite hobbies are socializing, doing anything outdoors and writing letters. She has traveled to Costa Rica and spent 50 days on a wilderness adventure trip in Alaska with Outward Bound. She describes herself as succulent, independent and goal-oriented. She is most proud of the time she has spent working with juvenile delinquents where she taught them how to work in groups to develop growth and self-esteem.
-It's not like this is new to me. This is what a deaf person has to go through, it's an everyday struggle. But I don't want to be an issue every day. If it becomes an issue every day, then they'll be like 'why do we need this person' you know. I'm still like trying to figure out how to work with these women.
-Soon as it gets dark I can't see, cant read their lips,and I can't hear. I'm totally like, out of the group.
-I think my tribe is the most laziest tribe, most laziest group I've ever been involved with. And that's like what did they expect out here, what did they, I mean, people are just... lying around ... and it pisses me off.


Heidi Strobel ESFp
Heidi Strobel received a Bachelor of Arts degree in exercise physiology, secondary education and physical education from Drury University in Springfield, Mo.

If given the chance to hold political office, she would like to be on the State Board of Education to better the schools and to emphasize the importance of health and exercise in the schools. She is a member of the National Athletic Trainer Association, the Missouri Teacher's Association, the Missouri Association of P.E., Health, Recreation and Dance and the Drury Teacher's Association. She is doing this because she loves a challenge of mind and body, and for the experience of a lifetime. If she wins, she will pay off her student loans and buy a car.
-We were paddling away, then you finally see the yellow flag, I was so excited, so excited.
-Deena, she definitely has more of a bossy side to her. If six of us come up with a good idea she would be the one to say 'I don't think that would work, we'd better do something else'.
-I haven't really bonded with Christy because of the communication barrier. If you can't understand the people around you, it's hard to make that communication, so that is definitely more of a liability right now.
-Jeanne had brought, it's actually a massage oil that's like an edible oil which is even funnier. We sliced up this pint-sized fish and I seriously think I had about that much of it.
-The cuter girls, me and Jenna and Shawna, kind of went off from the older women, because we're younger and we're cuter and got better bodies and for some reason that's like a huge issue to older people.


Butch Lockley ISTp
Born in St. Louis, Mo., Butch Lockley grew up in Dupo, Illinois. As a youth, he participated in little league baseball, Boy Scouts, church activities and camping in Southern Illinois.

He recently held offices in the Illinois Principal's Association and the Illinois Basketball Association. He is an active member in the Olney Rotary Club.

If he could hold any political office, he'd like to be a state congressman because he could influence laws and programs that would help his state grow and develop while maintaining contact with the local people. He is most proud of raising his three children. He is doing this because he loves competition, challenges and the outdoors and a chance to win some money. If he wins the $1 million, he's going to buy a 4-Wheel Drive Pick-Up truck.
-Nobody wants to be the leader cause that's the first guy gets voted off, right? (told as joke to group)
-Would I like to have women around? I think the answer to that is I'm enjoying the company right now. I'm a lot more comfortable and we will continue to be a lot more comfortable with the women over there and the guys here.


Rob Cesternino ENFj
Rob Cesternino currently works as a computer projects coordinator for an insurance general agency. He has been previously employed as a store clerk, a waiter and a bartender. After receiving 1420 on his SAT's, he eventually went on to graduate from the honors program at the State University of New York at Oswego with a Bachelor of Arts degree in broadcasting. Cesternino wrote his college senior thesis on "The Impact of Reality Television" and received an A. While in college, he was a member of the Sigma Chi Fraternity.
Cesternino's favorite hobbies include telling jokes, watching sports and singing karaoke. He believes he is a master strategist that is always pulling shenanigans on people who suspect he's just an innocent kid. He describes himself as mischievous, hilarious and creative. If he could hold any office, he'd like to be member of Congress because "it looks like they can do anything they want with no repercussions." Certernino cites a last minute college road trip where he and two buddies drove 21 hours to go to Mardi Gras in New Orleans (without hotel accommodations) as his single greatest accomplishment. His favorite sport is baseball and he is an avid fan of the New York Mets and New York Jets. His hero is Bob Barker because, since a child, he always admired how he ran the show and was so funny about it. Superman is his chosen superhero—besides the obvious strength and flying, "the x-ray vision would keep me busy for hours." He is doing this because he is an avid fan of SURVIVOR and has dreamed of being a castaway. If he wins the $1 million, he's buying a "fully equipped bachelor pad with a big neon sign that will say 'OPEN.'"
-I think, as a whole, we've gotten along very well, but I think that the women have gotta be having a very difficult time. Especially they're not gonna catch any fish. We've got expert fishermen out there and we haven't caught anything yet. But I don't think any of them had any idea they'd be doing this on estrogen alone over there, and a camp of the vagina monologue.
-I don't see the women working well together. I know that their shelter is not going to be as good as ours. I see them all crying and panicking, trying to build a cell phone so they can try to call their boyfriends to come over and help them build the shelter. Outside of that I'm sure they've got maybe three sticks together.
-Dave is a stand-up guy. He has a lot of integrity and is a really honest guy... which is really great for me because I'm gonna lie and cheat and do whatever it takes to win... and if he's only gonna tell the truth all the time, that's gonna hurt him in this game.
-I was really stumped on who I could get to vote against Roger until this morning when a light bulb went off in my head. Alex and Roger had today a little bit of a tiff about homosexuality. Now what I'm hoping is that this has planted a seed in Alex's head that Roger may not be all that he's cracked up to be. Roger is a bigot.
-I was very upset because I wanted to go for 'wine and laughter'. I'm just very annoyed that the golden boy, Dave, falls face first into good luck.

He credits his older brother, Eric (a bodybuilder and writer), with teaching him respect and humility at a very early age. If von Ertfelda could hold political office, he would like to be Director of the CIA because he loves the cloak & dagger operations and the inherent risks. If he wins the $1 million, he will buy a bottle of 1929 Chateau d'Yquem to share with close family and friends. von Ertfelda's favorite quote is "The things you regret most in life are the risks you didn't take."
-There's a lot of tension right now. Everybody seems to be jockeying for position. There's a lot of friction between Ryan and Roger. And I think that the friction has built up a lot the last couple of days and it's culminating in a kind of a face-off.
-Don't let the situation get you down, don't get bummed out about it, though there's a lot of bull going on. People still jockeying for position... and currying favour. Right now there's still momentum to boot ROger. He's still prime candidate. So he's just like the two of us, vulnerable, I think. He doesn't know who he can trust.
-I'm actually really surprised that an injury like this has not happened before. Nobody out here is really that experienced with working a machete. So he's lucky that it's not very serious.


Jenna Morasca ISFj
Jenna Morasca models swimwear on a freelance basis while also competing in beauty pageants. She has won the Venus Swimwear competition two years in a row (2001 and 2002) and was second runner-up in the Miss Pennsylvania U.S.A. beauty pageant in 2001.

Morasca's hobbies include horseback riding, sleeping and hanging out with her animals (she has a dog, a ferret, three birds, two guinea pigs and a fish). She describes herself as honest, outgoing and funny. If she could hold political office, she'd be President of the United States so she could make all the important decisions. Her favorite sport is football. Her favorite teams are the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Denver Broncos. Her hero is her mother, who has been fighting breast cancer for over ten years. If she wins the money, she wants to buy a car and put a huge sound system in it, chrome wheels and detailing. She also wants to pay off her family's bills and take a trip to Italy with her mom and dad.
-THey're so freaking cocky. THey're like 'oh, we're never gonna go to tribal council. It's so annoying. I just want to beat them to kind of just shut them up.
-Being in the jungle with seven other women is my worst nightmare. If you're in a tribe of all women you can't use any of your womanly power on women, they couldn't care less, they find that insulting. WIth men it's... you can manipulate them better.
-The flies are swarming us because we stink. We've boiled our buffs. We've boiled underwear that wasn't clean. Underwear needs to be clean, as I figure, I think it's a priority because of it's you know, it's... things can live on you... Especially in that area because it's dark.
-Me and Heidi and Janet went fishing using the net and Janet, she's very sick. She's not doing well at all. She just kind of did nothing, kind of just sat there on the boat and said she didn't want to paddle out far because she didn't want to paddle far back. It's up and down, she's mostly down and that's probably really gonna hurt her if we lose the challenge, she might go.
-Christy is kind of like our wild card. It's important for me and Deena and Heidi to get Christy to vote on our side because Shawna wants out and if we'd let her out now, there's a possibility of us not being able to have majority.


During the fifth episode Dave and Jenna get to pick their new tribes. Dave knows the men, Jenna knows the women but they don't really know the members of the opposite sex.
Dave first picks Heidi (because he knows Jenna is allied with her and wants to break the alliance, tactical move).
Jenna picks Alex
Dave picks Butch
Jenna picks Deena
Dave picks Christy
Jenna picks Rob
Dave picks Roger
Jenna picks Shawna
Dave gets Jeanne
Jenna gets Matthew

-Osten:' cause, you know, girls, we don't necessarily have to spend our money with these old guys. They're really horny so you can just show them your boobs.' He didn't even know our names yet, or us at all. That was his first introduction to us. I was like - this guy's a jerk.
-I don't really get along with Tijuana. She seemed like extremely overexcited about certain things and that was just frustrating for me.
-The rocks falling from the cliff, didn't work out at all, because we think it's gonna get worse, especially if it starts to rain.
-There's little hermit crabs, they think we're living in their home, pretty much, cause they're just crawling all over us in the pitch and I mean there were literally dozens of them going through there.
-I made a suggestion because I knew I didn't want to be the leader, but I knew we needed somebody. So we appointed Andrew as our leader before the challenge.
-I did talk to Lilian to get rid of Tijuana, but word got out of that because Lil's freaked out that she's getting voted off tonight so she's telling everybody. I set myself up in a really bad position, telling some truths and some half-truths and trying to get things going my way.

-I was like: 'Oh my god, what have I done. This is beyond what I bargained for'. I knew it was going to be the adventure of a lifetime. I didn't know it was going to be this big of an adventure of a lifetime.
-I was hoping we would come together with some plans, with some goals. What we wanted to go do first, but that wasn't the case at all. Some of the girls took off. And Ryan O, he just took off, he was gone. It was like he wasn't even part of the tribe. He was gone and he had his own mission. And I don't even remember him consulting anybody about it.
-We should have spent absolutely all of the money. I don't think we fundamentally did the right decision. I think we could've gotten a few more good supplies. People were just too anxious to get on the boat and get things started.
-I got off the boat, left, and already people were talking: 'where are we going to put our camp, bla bla bla'. I was like 'man, we're here'Let's jump up and down, let's give hugs, let's do something!'... None of that.
-Osten's a big dude. I mean you've got like muscles up to 'yay' and uh, I've been noticing them the whole time. See, he'll let you know he has muscles. 'Oh hey, I'm strong'. Mmm like, ok.
(Lilian)-I think I'm probably her best friend at the moment.
-The very first moment Andrew gave the presence of a leader, nobody challenged it.

-We didn't purchase any clothes in the village. We didn't think it was necessary at the time.
-At the immunity channel, I looked back and I saw one guy with his junk just hanging out like, u know, nobody's business and I was like, wow, I shouldn't be looking.
-Tons of friendships, everybody's a friend. We've all been through some strange wild times together and everybody's kind of keeping an open mind about the situation and we do come together more than I thought we did, so... It's hard not to be friends with people.
-They're sayin everything's fine. Everything's fine? I'm in trouble. I'm here completely by myself.
-Revenge baby, all about revenge.

-I was surprised at how quickly we all worked together. I mean, we know who we were, what your name was, yet within a matter of probably, ten minutes we spread out and it worked out pretty well.
-Shawn and Burton are, a little out there in their leadership. I just think I need to be a little careful about that because they've already alienated some people.
-You know the mood today has been funky I think. It's been really weird. You know I think people are getting testy and we're just sort of, you know. We've been out here for 10 days ... for some reason today has been really of and on and I can't figure out why.
-THe whole time we've been here Shawn, Michelle and Burton kind of clicked right away and I don't know why they did that. I can only assume that the two guys thought they were so strong there was no way they would get voted off and of course Michelle's adorable and so they clicked right into her but I don't think they realized they alienated everybody else in the tribe.
-You know I live Rupe, but there's something that's just not feeling right about this whole thing.

-We started to get everything going. We're just a little more showy personalities, little more physical, you know.
-Rupert's definitely a huge asset. I mean he worked his ass of. But he was beat. It took him hours to recover from that.
-There's definitely times when Christa's ... she's always had little issues with me, you know she's made little comments, things that just get on my nerve and I've just smiled right through and I haven't said anything back. At the same time I take note of everything. What she says is gonna come back to get you.
-I had a core alliance...which consisted of myself, Burton, Michelle, and I thought Jon. Always been a little wary of Burton and to be honest I've been looking for a way to get rid of him.

-I was in game mode. I wanted to get it done. The words 'sunrise is going down quickly' were in my head. I knew we needed to act fast.
-I'll be the first to be voted off. Vote me off because I don't deserve to win. Ok? You guys stuck it up, your body lasted long, mine didnt', I'm out of gas, I'm spent. I couldn't move in that challenge today.
-Tell, say whatever you want, if you want to say I'm quitting instead of starving, yeah, I'm quitting. My health to me is more important to me than a million dollars I guess, right now. Does the means justify the ends? Nah, it doesn't... You know, I'm clearly out of my element. It was a situation I thought that 'Hey, I'll give it a shot'. I can at least say that I went and tried it. I like to be successful, apparently I'm not going to be...

He feels he's up for SURVIVOR: PEARL ISLANDS because of his intelligence, athleticism and ability to get along with everyone in emotionally charged situations.
(Osten)-Call him Scaredy Mary, because he's never been in jungle environment. Any little thing and if it touches his toe, he leaps out in the air and shrieks.
-Actually yesterday we built out half-frame against a shell wall, which was actually pretty funny because the shell wall was a home to about 300 hermit crabs which paid us a visit in the middle of the night, so we thought we should probably move our shelter so...
-That sucked. We lost by about a foot. We learn from it. We move on. And we kick their butt the next time and we'll remember how cocky they were when they won, alright?
-Lili, I had some conversations with her and I believe everything she says. I don't think she has a dishonest bone in her body.
-One of my biggest concerns is sleep deprivation. We have one or two hours total in three nights. And if we don't solve that problem, people are going to start hallucinating.

-I made sure we had somewhat of a shelter. It was a lean-to. But, oh well. You can only do so much in that amount of time.

-When I got to the stairs, I was done. ... I needed to rest. The other team, Morgan, came up and set their stuff down next to us, and all left. This is definitely a pirate adventure. Pirate's pillage. Pirate's steal. Pirate's take advantage. If they were gonna be silly enough to put it right next to me, I'm gonna put it in ... all their trade goods, all the women's shoes, all the insoles, everything I could find in there, I took. I always said I would lie, cheat and steal to win this, there's my stealing.
-Shawn is being a pain in the butt. We're a strong little team. But the dynamic duo there that are posturing for the lead role need to be a little more careful, because they're gonna make everybody hate them.
-Jon, he reminds me of my boys, that I mentor, who just pop off stupid stuff. Getting some honey, or smoking something, drinking something.
-I've had a great day. I don't know if I can keep up the work load I'm putting on myself, but that's what I told myself I was going to do... I'm trying to make these people believe that there's no way they can get along without me.
-Burt comes to me and says we're gonna get rid of some of our Drakes' As soon as he said that I wanted to smack him and say 'traitor'. If this was a pirate culture he'd already be dead.

-I was definitely pissed to see the Drake tribe and all of the wealth that they had come in to, all of the fortune. That definitely kind of deflated you a little. Like, man, we could've done that. We could've been even more prepared. ... and we weren't.
-We've been looking everywhere for the water source, not thinking... hey let's look at the map. Looked at the map and found... water well... so that was exciting because we've been needing water for so long.
-I was personally upset and disappointed with Osten for quitting. He has what it takes in my opinion. That's what pisses me off.
-For the most part we're all frustrated about the new dynamic to this game. And it's very obvious that Andrew did not want this new tribe member to really have a say. I think that Andrew's very comfortable being the leader. He's got the best seat in the house and I think he wants to keep that.

-I think because we've won so many challenges, it's starting to get annoying that because we really want somebody to leave.

-It's really exciting, knowing that there's treasure out there. Which is ... our hands are tied right now,Since it's high tide I can't do anything. But as soon as it's low tide we're gonna go out there. WHo knows what could be out there, I'm sure it's going to be beneficial.

-We did very well in the village. You know, we managed to get a ton of stuff. For the little bit of money we had.
-Burton opened up a coconut and he shared the coconut milk with only Shawn and Michelle. I gave Christa the look and I said 'did they offer you any coconut milk?' And she was like 'no and I want some'

-There was a bunch of tribesmen, running with spears. My first reaction was 'Hey what's going on? Were we supposed to defend ourselves? What are we supposed to do?'
-The chief was welcoming us and I look over at the girls and they're not getting anything to drink ... Come on, this is pretty cool you know, special treatment for the guys!
-We actually had a hot ember that was very pink... but none of us knew what to do with it. I was like, yeah, we got... ember!
-We're on red alert. When you get into this game, you realize you take a lot of things for granted and water is one of them. You start getting headaches, you can't get up, you're lethargic, you start cramping. It's taken a toll on all of us, in some way or another.
-The tribal council last night, was very tense. It was an eye-opener. As of right now it's myself, John and Brady, we're kind of the physical young vibrant guys in the tribe and then you have the older crowd... Sarge, Chad, Rory, Travis and Chris. THose are five guys.

-THe girls were hoping that the boys were not going to do it. So I was like, 'please fall'. We want to see some of them fall at least.
-Day four, it's gotten rough. It's just been unreal, the circumstances, and our living conditions and it's about a thousand times harder than I thought this was gonna be.
-Twila, we've done a ton of work, let me tell you. You started fire in the morning. We could easily start that fire in the morning if you were not here. You played it out last night and it's bullshit. It's the card that you're playing and it's gonna backfire.
-She threw us all under the bus last night, the young ones, in the group, about being lazy. We've all pulled our weight around here and I'm gonna call her out as much as possible because I can't stand her, I want her out.

-I was just praying to god he was going to pick somebody else but he picked me. SOon as he did, I figured, the only way I would have any chance was to do kind of like the other guy did it.
-Great, the guy with the mechanical leg is gonna win for sure. He's nice, he's smart, he's quiet and he's got the underdog-thing going on so we're screwed.
-Losing fire right now, was tough. Losing to women was tough. Chris couldn't get it across the balance beam. Fact is, he didn't make it, and we lost.
-Well, obviously I haven't fully made up my mind about who I'm going to vote tonight. I'm thinking about Chris right now but Rory, he's kind of on his own sort of music a lot of the time. I think maybe some people think that Rory's maybe not putting out as much group effort as some of the other guys and the group right now is where it's all at.
-I don't know whether it's better or worse but I certainly had a different impression of Sarge. Sarge is kind of a loud booming personality, but sarge is much more of a personable guy than most people probably give him credit for and most people will see.


Travis "Bubba" Sampson ESTj
Travis "Bubba" Sampson was born and raised in Blountville, Tennessee, where he spent a lot of time working on his grandfather's farm.

He is a member of the NRA, Civil War Historical Society and Police Benevolent Association and is very active with his church.
Travis believes he will bring his leadership, aggressiveness and inventiveness to SURVIVOR:VANUATU, and his primary reason for participating is to live a life that isn't so ordinary. He believes that he could be the Sole Survivor because he has "learned how to adapt to different people and different situations. I can schmooze anybody, become their best friend then take their butt…and vote them off."
They believe who possesses that stone, the spirits are supposed to be in favour, and though that's not my belief, I still wanted that stone so the girls wouldn't get it.
-I slept like a baby, woke up every three or four minutes and cried. It's not good, we need fire for heat. And just for food, we're getting so drained. I wanna eat something cooked so bad.
-I'm from the country. Every meal's a celebration. You eat with your family. My biggest concern is how my family's doing. You know they're missing dad... you know they are but my boy's my life.
-The thing with Rory is, I think a lot of the time he's really misunderstood. Everybody's got a strong personality out here and Rory's no exception. Sarge and Rory, it's just an on-going barrage of bickering. Whether it's about filling the canteens with water, how much wood to put on the fire, how it cooks something, it's a lot of bickering, and I'm tired of it.

-Apparently the vanuatu people really honor pigs. Pigs are, I think, sometimes better than women, anyway, so they come in with this pig. Right away I think we have a pig race but I thought the pig was dead and then I realized the pig was alive.
-I'm not so sure Eliza is in with us. And even then I don't trust her. I've got a back-up plan so, we'll see what happens.
-I wasn't surprised about Eliza or that she was getting mad at me. But I voted for who I thought I needed to get off last night. So let her get mad. I would much rather be in an alliance with the older group.
-You know what, I don't need a person I don't know, not trusting me. I mean yOu know it's for me to sit down and act like I'm swearing on the bible. You know I'm not doing that anymore either. I refuse to do that again. YOu know I'm not gonna swear to my god to please these people who can't trust me. I'm not gonna do it anymore. I'm not gonna kiss Ami's butt to stay in this game.

Kenney is currently single and living in Los Angeles.
-I had no idea that Chad had no leg. I mean he was wearing pants the whole day so he just goes 'hey guys, look' and then he undoes his pants and there was no leg. It was pretty shocking.
-Eliza just didn't stop talking. She just kept talking and talking and talking, I mean she seems really sweet, I'm sure she's really nice but the bottom line is oh my god, would you please stop talking.
-The girls told me not to give the immunity necklace to Eliza and Twila but I could care less who gets voted off of this tribe. I just want them to not be mad at me for whoever is voted off, because I might merge with them and it would be nice to have them on my side later on.
-I can't stand the way this tribe ended up. The good young guys that have great personalities and are good athletes are all gone. Why do the fat dudes run the show? This does not make any sense to me.

-I fit in fabulously well, and I love my partnership here. We've accepted every single that's come our way as a family and as a team, and I would expect that's the way we're going to continue down the road.
-No I don't think that we would've done the same thing. I don't think that we would've shoved somebody's nose into it. You know that was nonsense. That was classless. Show some class. They're grown women. I understand it's competition, but if she was a man, would you have taken that, Sarge?
-Sarge wants to dictate when people take a crap, when people take a bath. I'm a grown-ass man and I don't take orders real well.
-I took three votes in the tribal council last night and yet it doesn't really bother me a whole lot.
-First of all, my apologies for the horrible horrible things I said to you in my mind last night. When I get angry, I tend to become extraordinarily hurtful. I had come to you all with the expectation that you all would give me a fair shot. And I have done my damnedest to prove to you all where my loyalty lies. And at this point I can't go back to Lapevi. I can't because Bubba's gone. And what's gonna be their first thought? I sold Bubba out. So this is where I'm at right now. ... I will not continue to slave around camp if I don't have a shot to make through tribal council.
-My speech was so cheesy I couldnt' even believe I was saying it myself. You know, I mean. Afterwards I was sitting there thinking, man there's no way in hell these ladies bought any of that but maybe they did. And if I could swing just a little bit towards favour for me - you gotta do what you gotta do.


Lea "Sarge" Masters ISFj
Lea "Sarge" Masters was born in Norfolk, Virginia. He attended school at the University of Maryland, City Colleges of Chicago and Central Texas University, where he eventually earned a master's degree in chemical engineering.

He is a trained EMT, a master barber and a deputy sheriff and has credentials in scuba diving, advanced mountaineering/rapelling and is a nuclear weapons specialist.
Masters enlisted in the US Army in 1986, where he became a cannon crewmember. He then held various jobs ranging from section chief to chief of firing battery (chief of smoke). He is currently a drill sergeant and an officer (NCO). He has traveled all over the world, including Korea, Germany and Greece. He has served in various contingency locations including Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and, most recently, Iraq.
He describes himself as an All-American family man who considers his greatest accomplishment to be his son, Kris, 18. He says his hero is his mom because she has been through a lot but still managed to raise three fine children throughout it all. He enjoys fishing, watching NASCAR and professional racer Ricky Rudd and bowling. Masters describes his perfect day as waking up at Charlotte Motor Speedway and getting Ricky Rudd ready for the race by test-driving the #21 car around the track at 185 miles per hour.
Masters says that while he would run throughout Times Square naked to get a $1 million, he wouldn't do anything that involved lethal consequences for the money. If he does win a million, he'd use the money to send his son to college. He describes himself as having a never-quit attitude, adept at getting by on nothing and believes he can be the Sole Survivor because "I never quit, and I feel if you live by values, then everything else will work itself out."
Masters currently lives in Columbia, South Carolina, with his wife of 20 years, Lupe, and their son. They have one dog, Chow Chow, and two cats, Tigger and Fluffy.
-The head chief took the blood of his sacrifice and went to each male member of Survivor, no female, and said 'you are now a warrior of Vanuatu'. .. What I felt that he was doing, he was saying welcome.
-We were all going... I don't want to be the one to fall flat on my face in front of everybody. The chief turned around, he pointed to my direction. I was like, 'oh my god, no, not me'.
-JP, Brady, John and Brook, they basically said 'Sarge, we need to get rid of the weakest link'. It's tricky to decide who I'm going to vote for. I said I'm gonna think about it. They said the weakest link. They're assuming that I agree that the weakest link is Chris.
-When it comes to ROry, the thing that's really under my skin is he doesn't do a lot of, you know, physical work. He's not a team player. He's an individualist, but in a team you can't be on your own all the time. It has to be about the team.




James "Chad" Crittenden ISFp
James "Chad" Crittenden was born on a military base in Oceanside, California. Growing up in Half Moon Bay, California, he discovered a love of sports and the outdoors, particularly soccer and fishing.

After high school, Crittenden decided to work at a local community college before pursuing studies at the University of California at Davis, majoring in International Relations with an emphasis on world resources, the environment and Spanish. Upon graduation, he accepted summer day-care jobs that ultimately led him to an after-school tutoring program. From there, he accepted an offer to head a new bilingual tutoring program in San Jose. Two years later, an internship where he taught a bilingual second grade class launched his career.
After two years teaching in San Jose, Crittenden accepted a teaching contract in San Salvador, El Salvador, where he met his wife, Dyann. Upon returning to the US, Crittenden and his family settled in the San Francisco Bay area. They have two children, Clara (3) and Trevor (4 months).

His recovery was miraculously quick, and he completed a triathlon nine months after the surgery. After many prostheses and much development, he feels that he has almost reached his post-surgery potential. Crittenden has been cancer-free for almost two years and has decided to take a leave of absence to be a full-time dad, which he has been planning for some time. He looks forward to the adventure.
-After doing things that are physically demanding I thought it was the right time to reveal the fact that I have no foot, that it's a prosthesis. THey were pretty surprised.
-We've had camaraderie since the very get go. And I think we've gained a lot of confidence by winning some of the challenges. And that's brought us closer together.

-I was happy that we had water and we had blankets last night. The guys are suffering big time. I wouldn't want to be in their shoes because I know what it was like the first couple of days and that sucks big time.
-We went to tribal council last night and we have tree mail talking about immunity. And that bites, because yesterday sucked big time and I don't want to go through it again two days in a row.
-I feel like I should go home, because I screwed up so bad. At the same time I so don't want to go home. ... And then I feel guilty because if I don't go home somebody else will go home because of me. There's nothing good about it.

-I was waiting for our turn, I was like... When do we get cava? It never came around, we're not getting the full deal here. I'm not used to being put second behind the men.
-The good news about being a tribe of all women is that we care about each other and we want each other to succeed. We haven't had to start voting people off yet and I think we can win the next challenge but I definitely see groups forming. THe two groups that have formed are I think the older generation and the younger generation. That diversity in age has really separated everyone. The younger group would be Mia, Julie, Dolly, Eliza and Lisa, which I think she likes being in the younger group. And the older group's been like Scout and Twila and I think LeeAnn's one of the older group... I think I gravitate more towards the older group because they're really willing to work but this is a game of non-trust.
-I was so happy that Rory and Bubba started lifting something, moving something, doing something. What I got irritated with was I saw a little bit of our bond disappear. THe girls were so excited to show them everything. I just don't think it's really that important that we show them all of our secrets. But we're definitely still five women strong. THat's not going to change. At least in my end it's not going to change. I'm sticking by the ladies. So they really need to prove themselves, otherwise *fart-noise* they're out of here.

-I approached Twila, I kind of threw out a little reverse psychology and she indeed said that they had you know, promised her final four. So I said they did me also, but they hadn't. ANd so it completely threw her off to them. And now I have her on my side currently.
-Me and Twila have a rocky relationship but now I guess she's the only one that I'm definitely concrete with that I have a plan. And I weaseled my way back in because I knew that she was getting sucked in with the guys. So, my plan worked.

-I didn't want to be too pushy, becaue I didn't want to be like the odd person out.

I call these sorority girls boneheads, that what we call them back in oklahoma. They all gang together, they're like cattle. I mean, cows really they just cluster. Those sorority chicks, they're not paying attention to anything but themselves. They're their favourite topic.

-Too much tattle and not enough moving. Mouths are working but the hands aint. THe hut's still not done. There's a couple of em didn't do anything but bitch, moan and complain last night. And it's all cold, you know get off your ass, get to work and stop bitching ...
-I don't know. THese young ones. I don't know if they thought this was a joke. I don't know what they was thinking. If it comes down to eating maggots, I'm gonna eat maggots. To me it was, they're cooked, they're good. Protein, eat em, shut up. Sorority girls, like scout calls em, they're not mature enough, they're not physically strong enough. They just wore me out. They don't understand the game I think. If they want to be pampered, they need to go back to the holiday inn.
-If it's come down to alliance-wise and stuff it's Ami, and Me and Scout and LeeAnn. The one we have to worry about is Dolly. Dolly is gonna be the, she's the pivot person on the middle. I think she's in, but you never know.

-Men against women, that's perfect. I can outsmart eight men a hell of a lot quicker than I can eight women. Women stick together, they're thick as thieves. Men are deceiving, mischievous, untrusting human beings. Men I can manipulate.
-I really wanted to make it across the beam. ANd if I had wings, I would have made it. You know I would have made myself go across the beam. This game, you outwit, outplay and outlast people. You don't outbalance them.
-I wasn't thinking I'm going home tonight. I wasn't thinking I'm dead. I don't cathegorize stuff like that... The first night Rory, he had some ideas. He was getting on people's nerves. Did I all of a sudden develop an opinion about him and think 'you know what, he's going first time I go to tribal council', No, I didn't think that. Everybody's gonna help the team someway, somehow and time down the line. ANd that's all I think about.

Jolanda Jones ESTj
Jones attended Alief Elsik High School in Houston, Texas, where she graduated magna cum laude and was an All-American in both track and field and basketball. She is the only person to win the Texas State 5A Team Championship as an individual. After high school, Jones went on to graduate magna cum laude with a degree in political science from the University of Houston. She served on numerous university and community boards and organizations and was a member of the student government. Jones was nominated by the university for a Rhodes scholarship and received the NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship. In 1995, Jones earned her Juris Doctorate from the University of Houston Law Center. She is currently self-employed as a lawyer/consultant/community activist.
Jones was the 1989 US Track and Field Heptathlon Champion and earned an unprecedented three NCAA heptathlon championships. She was the runner-up for SWC Female Athlete of the Decade for the 80s, two-time Academic All-American while at the University of Houston and a 1989 NCAA Top Six Award winner.
An abusive relationship forced Jones to retire from track and field for seven years. Despite the odds, she resumed training while working part-time as a corporate lawyer. Within three months, she had qualified for the 1996 US Olympic Trials. Unfortunately, her 19-year-old brother was murdered two weeks before she was to compete. His death and her meager five months of training proved too much to overcome (although she did win the high jump portion of the heptathlon and was in sixth place after three events). After competing in three events, she became severely dehydrated and was forced to withdraw.
Such accomplishments have earned Jones a spot in the Cougar Hall of Fame at the University of Houston Athletic/Alumni Center. She was inducted into the GTE (Verizon) Academic All-America Hall of Fame in 1999. She was inducted into the Texas Black Hall of Fame in 2003.
Jones largely credits her success to her tumultuous childhood. When she was 13 months old, her father committed suicide while she was in the room. Her mother had four more children, and Jones became their primary caretaker while their mother worked. There were times when the family went without water, electricity or heat. When Jones was a teenager, their rented house burned down due to the use of candles in place of electricity. Two of her uncles committed suicide, her aunt was murdered and various members of her family are in prison and on welfare. Jones credits her criticizing mother and supportive grandmother for teaching her to be the best and stand up for the poor and disenfranchised.
Jones' niece died of SIDS in 2000. Consequently, she sits on the board of the 501c(3) named after her niece, the U'jana Conley Foundation for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. She also sits on the board of the Land Assemblage Redevelopment Authority for the City of Houston.
Jones currently resides in Houston, with her son, Jiovanni (13).
-I got the immunity necklace. I was not gonna let that little young girl beat me.
-But when it comes to challenges, I know that I'm stronger than most of their dudes. We're gonna do Angie but we got to get the other guys to go in on it. I want to go talk to Stephenie because if we got issues...
-My vote will be for Angie not because I don't like her but she is a person that must be voted off in order for our team to be strong as it can be.
-Newsflash! This is something that I noted. Every two hours that we work, we're going to rest at least an hour, ok? It is time for us to get focus, kick butt and take names.
-We need somebody to make a unilateral decision. I mean I would like if I could, to help lead the team, but I also know that I have a very strong personality so that's been my biggest dilemma because I don't want people to say 'oh you know, your personality's too strong. She's bossy, she's a witch.'

-Jolanda's a stro-ong personality. She's not a team player.
-Jeff I think that's the only thing holding this group back is that we've yet to come together as a group and decide who's gonna lead our group.
-When we lost the challenge today, everybody was SO disappointed. And to make matters worse, it was raining. So our main priority was 'oh crap, I hope our fire didn't burn out'. Luckily we were able to scoop up any hot coals that we could and rushed to a cave

-Yeah, we got the strength, we all have the endurance. There's just a couple key times that we just messed up and you know we lost time trying to get everything we possibly could and get running with it. And it wasn't going to happen.
-After winning the flint, and a sling, and a snorkel, and mask and fins, now we can eat. And we can actually have some protein.
-Soon as we got the fire started I wanted to try and see if we could catch some fish, maybe even go explore and see what's all around us. You know I didn't get a whole lot but I got enough that everybody could have a couple of pinches of protein. Being well fed and nourished is a huge advantage at the next immunity challenge. I'm happy that they don't have flint and I hope they don't find it.
-James is definitely rubbing me the wrong way. He doesn't have the right to come to me and say 'oh listen, its Kim over Ashlee'... not to me it's not. Ashlee has kind of changed her frame of mind. I can see her slowing down. I mean at this point let's just vote off our weakest link.

-I want to know. If I'm gonna get voted off, I want somebody to tell me that they're voting for me. And I will respect the people that have a lot more if they can put out 'I'm voting for you'
-I think it was actually total devastation. We would become really really close. I don't think you're prepared for how quickly you bond with people. I mean at home you never feel this way after six days with somebody but we rely on each other so much.
-Bobby Jon really works his booty off, almost to the point where we're constantly telling him to 'sit down and you need to chill out'. I think he's playing his cards in the beginning to be safe and submit his place into the group and he'll be no use if he keeps doing this to heaps and crashes and burns.
-It's right before tribal and of course people are whispering and I don't know what conversations are taking place. They could be all there conspiring and 'we're not gonna vote for him, we'll see what his ankle does' I'm feeling vulnerable. I mean there's no way of telling what could happen. Definitely there's a chance Jeff could be here tomorrow.

He's an officer in the fire department. He's highly motivated, he works hard. He's our little motor that makes the train run.

-We were so excited to get to the water. So we finally found the watersource and also found a bag of everybody's shoes which was really nice to take back into camp like... look, no more stilettos, we have real shoes.
-We lost in the challenge and we lost pretty hard. The other tribe outplayed us and outwitted us completely. You know we didn't make smart decisions. They were smart, they took just the fire. I know how things work. I'm not the strongest person. If we're gonna choose who doesn't fit in and who they think is a weak link. So I definitely think I am a target.
-It weighs very heavy on my mind. I mean it's hard being picked the last. I think that I tried really really hard at the challenge today. But I think definitely my head was going to be on the chopping block. You know. Either there's some things going on or somebody has somebody else in mind or it's gonna overwhelmingly be me.
-I'm not quite sure of my game plan yet. I know obviously that there's people who differ from me and so I just want to make myself a valuable asset for this tribe. If I don't I'll probably be on the chopping block again.

-Jeff's a son of a bitch, tell ya that. Hell I thought we was gonna get breakfast food, water or something. Hell no, I knew he was gonna say something like that. The game is on. Something tells me, we just pretty much in trouble.
-This is a damn fine tribe. Everybody here is tough. They're young. THey've got a lot of energy, a lot of testosterone. We gonna win some matches. We just didn't do it today.
-Without Jolanda now, everybody's feeling good. Because there's nobody telling people what to do. We're not gonna follow a leader. We can make our own decisions and be democratic about it. We're Americans. And we're gonna do democracy.
-At the immunity challenge Kim didn't want to help the team pull that chest. So I tell you how it's gonna happen. Kim is gone. Oh yeah for sure.
-Soon as we got back to the beach old Jeff said 'Guys, you need to vote me off'. Oh we were sad. You know we didn't want to vote him off. He's strong, you know he does a lot around here. And the person we were planning on voting out, which is Kim, does hardly anything.

-Uh, it is very frustrating, but honestly today, I know we would have had one person in there who we really needed, we could've won. ... I'm saying if we had Jeff we would've won the challenge.
-I don't think Tom single-handedly beat us. Him and his team did it together. We did good but after a while Bobby Jon had 80 pounds on him which is why we needed that extra man. That's just point blank what it was.
-I think everybody works hard but sometimes people might get a little tired and might not wanna put in as much effort as everybody else. (Voting someone out) That could play a big part in my opinion.
-It's a slam dunk for me, man. Kim, I just think she's not a very strong girl, so I just think it's smart to vote off your weakest link.

-Stephenie's thinking Jolanda's the reason we lost the challenge but that one's got a lo-o-o-t of strength. I think she could still help us out. I haven't seen ...she's hurting us just yet.
-I definitely judged Angie way too quickly. She went to a challenge and dominated, I mean completely dominated. I don't know what got into her but it was good and it totally changed the whole morale of our whole tribe.
-Now the first few days it was fine, I like doing stuff for people... but man they'll let you do everything out here if you keep on doing it. Especially Kim, I don't think she understands the value of work. THere's lots and lots of work... she doesn't really see that.
-We got our butts kicked today. Imagine that. That's what's been happening lately. I personally got my butt whipped and in the tribal council tonight I'm going to vote somebody off.

-It was a mistake for us to choose this island. It was just a quick decision we made and I regret that we didn't think it through. Tom, having taken the leader role of the tribe said 'Let's go for it's an adventure'. It was a rash choice made in the moment that could really affect the game for this tribe.
-She (Katie) is a very, I don't know what the word is, it's not outspoken, it's tart. YOu know it's just that she has something to say all the time about everything. And it's especially true with me. Seven days I've been saying not anything and I've just had it and I just decided to confront her, I want it to stop.
-Every leader, for every project, it's always Tom. That's the way it is in this tribe. Everyone is 'Oh Tom, oh Tom' *bows repeatedly* 'yes Tom'. The women just don't know to throw a stick in the fire. 'Tom Tom, can I throw a stick in the fire Tom?' *shakes her head* It's a little crazy.

-When Stephenie and Jonathan dove in the water, everyone was like 'Hah! You don't want to be the first one to dive in' God! That is a gigantic target on your head.
-After the challenge we were so excited. We won immunity and we won the stuff we needed to make fire. We're still the underdog. Winning that was huge for us. This wave came and we went over. I don't know what the deal was, you know who was leaning what way or what, I think it was just a combination of all forces and we just went down. All the supplies to make fire were in this heavy steel container that went straight down. It was just like... this really happened?
-Caryn's really annoying... because she does not stop talking about how this island sucks and how everyone didn't want to come here. We only had a second to decide and the majority was like 'let's go' you know, new tribe, new camp. Unfortunately it was the wrong decision. Oh well, we're here. Get over it.

-You know it was funny, everybody was just walking off in different directions. 'Let's get the water, let's build the shelter' You just gotta watch that. You know I had a few people try to wrangle me into doing the fire and I'm just like... that's a losing job man.
-We were so elated and right back in the canoe it's just ... we were just loving life and we couldn't wait to see the new beach, all this to happen... we're just crushed right now. We don't have the water, we don't have the flint to start a fire to boil the water and purify it. We lost everything we won today. We're in a worse scenario than we originally had.

-You can't move ahead ten feet straight so I had him walk up to a point of the compass and then we would all walk up to him. You know it was slow going. Most of the people couldn't read a compass. I've done it before, you know, in the marine corps. But you can walk in circles in that stuff.
-We knew with this challenge, there was gonna be some something broken and it turned out there was. My left bicep literally snapped.
-Yeah, first thing out of the chute, when we pick up the boat, I grabbed it with my left arm and I was under the impression that everybody else had a hold of it and sure enough it just tore my bicep muscle. When I picked it up I popped it, I heard a pop. You know I was 50% but I'm not blaming it on my arm. WHen you don't have everybody at a 100% it's gonna hurt the tribe.



Morgan McDevitt INFj
Morgan McDevitt grew up the eldest of four children on a farm in Sullivan, Illinois. During high school, she became a prominent dancer and stage performer. She also played on the volleyball team and was a member of the National Honor Society. At age 18, she moved to Decatur, Illinois to attend Millikin University. She cheered for the Big Blue football team and joined the sorority Alpha Chi Omega. While in school, she also performed regularly at Six Flags Great America, including a summer with "James Bradon's World of Magic."
McDevitt sees herself as a performer with an entertaining personality. She is proudest of getting paid gigs as a dancer despite having no technical training. She believes she'll be a useful member of her tribe because of her sense of adventure, optimism, competitive nature and ability to be a team player. Morgan feels she will make it to the end because she is resourceful and can be conniving while still making everyone think she is a sweet team player.
Very close to her parents, McDevitt feels her greatest achievement is allowing them to live vicariously through her as she performs, competes and travels to new and exciting places. Having the adventure of a lifetime is her main reason for being on the show, but she does admit that winning the million dollars is also very enticing.
McDevitt currently resides in Decatur, Illinois with her boyfriend and two cats, Kirby and Murphy.
-We actually found the other tribe, Nakum, which was great because we were, less we knew we were hours behind them.
-So we leave their ruins, we leave the winners and we're bummed because, you know, it's taken us 24 hours to get there and we worked really hard.
-I think that our tribe is very unified because we've been honest with each other up to this point. And so I think that it's not an unspoken thing. I think we all kind of know what's going on. But somebody's gonna go and I don't want to say goodbye to anyone yet. (just before being blindsided)


Brianna Varela ISFj
Brianna born in Olympia, Washington, and raised in Shelton, Washington, Brianna Varela is the oldest of three siblings. At three years old, she began taking jazz, tap and ballet classes. At ten years old, she moved to Edmonds, where she attended Chase Lake Elementary School and, eventually, Edmonds Woodway High School. In tenth and eleventh grade, Varela was a part of the school dance team and competed throughout the state. In her senior year, she became a cheerleader and joined Young Life, the Christian youth club.
After high school, Varela moved to San Diego, California, to experience something new. She became interested in cosmetics and, sixth months later, returned to Edmonds where she currently works as a make-up artist at an upscale department store.
A lover of physical activity, Varela runs and bikes regularly. Her favorite spectator sport is basketball. Her favorite hobbies include dancing, writing, reading and hiking. Describing herself as witty, deceitful and helpful, Varela believes her creative cooking skills and ability to use a Hawaiian sling will help her be a useful member of her tribe. She's hoping for a challenge that will take her to a cliff, as heights thrill her. Jumping off a waterfall would not faze her in the least. In playing the game, Varela hopes to just be herself, but she can also be very sly and is a good pretender. Her motivation for being on the show is purely for the challenge and to test her own self willingness.
Varela is currently single and living in Edmonds, Washington, with her cat, Kitty, and a long-haired Chihuahua named Bella Varela.
-I cried, I couldn't help but just cry, she's such an inspiration.
-It's day four and we're getting to know each other really well. We all have different qualities, we have an amazing tribe.
-I don't get along with Lydia. We don't fight. I'm cordial with her, but she's just not my cup of tea.
-I'm pulling my work load around camp because I'm mostly worried about what my tribe sees me as. I wanna be considered an asset on this tribe. You have to be a provider, and I believe I am.


Brooke Struck ENTj
Born and raised in Hood River, Oregon, Brooke attended Oregon State University, where she received her bachelor's degree with honors in political science and international studies with a minor in Spanish. After a year of volunteering for AmeriCorps, Struck began law school at Pepperdine University in Malibu, California. She received her Juris Doctor degree in May 2005. Struck has lived abroad in both Spain and the U.K.
Struck is very athletic and describes herself as enthusiastic, driven and intelligent, a great problem solver and a creative thinker. She believes these skills and her competitive spirit will make her a useful member of the tribe. Having grown up on a farm in rural Oregon, she frequently went hiking, camping and backpacking. Her motivation for being on the show is to win the game and to prove to herself she has the strength and skills to survive 39 days in the wild.
Struck's hero is her mother, whom she admires for always making others a priority over herself. Struck's father passed away when she was 11 years old, leaving her mom with three young children and a farm to run. Her mother's patience, faith and kindness set the greatest example for how to live life.
Struck's hobbies include skiing, traveling and playing Frisbee with her dog, Toast, who is half golden retriever, half border collie.
Currently single, Struck resides in Hood River, Oregon.
-When we first saw all the fruit, all the water, we had to decide what stuff we were to carry with us. Kind of a little bit of mass chaos.
-Since we lost the immunity challenge, now one of us has to leave and none of us deserves to go. I definitely don't want any of the women to go yet. When we've really shown we have the endurance for forty days.
-The people want to build a better shelter just put the tarp up but we gotta wait for the heat to pass. The heat's definitely taken it's toll on getting work done.
-I know you're a fighter and I know you won't quit but I have to make this vote thinking of the team long term.

Blake Towsley was born in San Francisco and grew up in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He studied in Oxford, England for one summer. He eventually moved to Dallas to attend Southern Methodist University, where he double-majored in finance and political science. He currently makes his living as a commercial real estate broker and model.
Towsley describes himself as romantic, driven, and gutsy. His three favorite activities are skydiving, hunting, and kissing (not necessarily in that order). He says he's been president of every organization that he has been a part of and considers Lance Armstrong his hero because "the drive of that man is incredible. I like people that get off their butt and make their dreams happen."
Towsley says he has what it takes to become the Sole Survivor because "I am so competitive it's ridiculous. While I am not the kind of person to scheme and backstab, I am less of the kind of person to accept second place. SURVIVOR would be a true test of moral fiber and personal character, something I will find more challenging than any stunt."
In his spare time, Towsley likes hanging out with friends, cooking, watching NASCAR and hunting for quail.
-Pretty tough Jeff, at first day you know Bobby Jon, myself, and Jim and Judd we were cramping all up and down, we were sick to our stomachs and couldn't keep anything down and dehydration. It's definitely a hard start to this adventure for sure.
-I want to get up and fish so bad. I'm feeling better than I did right now. I'm not panting as much. Just as long as I'm competitive, I can clear it like yesterday.


Margaret Bobonich ESFp
Margaret Bobonich grew up in a large family with eight children. Although she calls Saratoga Springs, New York, home, her family moved around a lot because of her father's career. They spent great summers and holidays in the New York City and the New Jersey area with their extended family.
After graduating high school, Bobonich went on to study nursing at the University of Charleston and West Virginia University. The first sixteen years of her career were spent in Emergency and Aeromedical nursing. In 1998, she decided to return to school at Case Western Reserve University, where she completed her master's degree and became a Family Nurse Practitioner. Since then, she has enjoyed a fulfilling career in both private practice and free clinic settings. She spends every week at the Lake County Free Medical Clinic of Northeast Ohio. Together with other community professionals, she provides health care to families who otherwise could not afford it.
Bobonich currently resides in Chardon, Ohio with her husband, Steve, and their two sons, Mike and Chase. They have two dogs, Dozer and Lilly. The family enjoys attending athletic events and taking adventure vacations that involve activities like scuba diving, playing beach volleyball or zipping through a rainforest.
-None of us had ever talked before, so to figure out a strategy on the spur of the moment was a little tough.
-We were going through the jungle and one of these trees that have briars that look like spike actually broke onto Blake's shoulder. I think it was just one of those reality checks that you know a scorpion could sting you, a snake could bite any one of us. I'm a nurse by trade, I've been a nurse for 25, most of it trauma. That really took him down a couple of notches.
-Meeting up in the jungle with the other tribe took quite a bit of air out of our balloon.
-With this switch-up today, I don't feel safe at all, not at all. My head and my stomach are so mixed up right now with everything that's happened today, I'm trying frantically to scramble in my head you know what we're gonna do. I think the old Nakum tribe, myself, Cindy, Brooke and Judd is gonna stick together with the old Nakum tribe but who knows...


Brian Corridan ESFj
Originally from New Milford, Connecticut, Brian Corridan graduated as valedictorian of his high school, where he also served as vice president of his class, yearbook editor and co-author of his senior play. He was also voted "Prom Prince" and "Most Likely to Succeed."
Corridan recently graduated with a psychology degree from Columbia University in New York City. While in college, he spent two years as a resident and peer advisor, a tour guide and a research assistant. He also joined the Phi Beta Kappa Society.
Corridan's hero is his younger sister, Casey, who rose above her juvenile diabetes to become the captain and star player of her high school field hockey team. He says the craziest thing he would do for a million dollars is check his ethics at the door and break loose with psychological mind games: lie, cheat, steal and flirt.
Corridan believes he can be the Sole Survivor because "I have studied the game since I was 17. I know every aspect of it, and I've written papers on it. My background in psychology will allow me to pinpoint people's insecurities and weaknesses and to manipulate them to my advantage." He describes himself as competitive, perceptive and sarcastic.
Corridan's goal is to return to school to obtain his doctorate in clinical psychology and become a child/adolescent psychologist.
-I'm like in love with Stephenie, so when I found out she's on our tribe I was like, ooh, we're winning. We got Stephenie, we're good to go.
-I wanted to get a move on because I knew that Nakum would start at daybreak. People were a little cranky but they knew that I was right, I mean we did need to go.
-Emerging from the jungle, we see Nakum, right there in the middle of the lake, so much closer than we thought we were, and we just booked it to our canoe, we have caught up. It was a huge morale booster.
-Lydia's name came up because they think she's weaker because she's older. She pulled her weight in challenges. She walked 11 miles with everybody else. The woman can do the work. I told her Lydia, it's not looking good for you...


Amy O'Hara ESTp
Born and raised in Revere, Massachusetts, Amy O'Hara graduated from Curry College in Milton, Massachusetts.

O'Hara's primary motivation for being on SURVIVOR is to have the experience of a lifetime. She believes her greatest asset to the tribe will be motivating people to do things that they wouldn't normally do. Though she knows she has leadership abilities, she is sure she can work well as a member of a team, if that is what it will take to get along with others and get ahead in the game. She believes she has a good chance of becoming Sole Survivor because she knows how to persuade people and has great instincts.
Her perfect day would be playing in a game of the Women's Softball National Championships, winning, then having drinks with her husband and her teammates. As a die-hard Red Sox fan, her dream is to throw the first pitch at a game.
O'Hara has been married to Frank Shea for 10 years and has two cats, Fatima and Scrappy.
-Soon as the sun came up we started hearing some noises ... I looked up, I saw a monkey going from tree to tree and I'm like 'Oh my god, I can't believe this'.
-I have no outdoor experience, absolutely nothing. But could I hack it out here 39 days? Absolutely, I'll never give up, I'd rather stick needles in my eyeballs, I'm still not going to give up. I don't care how bad it gets, I will not give up.
-Margaret was asking Gary a question about pro football. Who knows what, he's retired and a multi-millionaire, I'll kill him, I'll freaking kill him.
-Get the fuck out of here, what the fuck is going on, is this a joke?
-I was like blown away, 'Heyy, what's up guys? Hey nice to meet you.' I'm looking at Gary. I'm like we're decimated here, decimated. Gone.

-Bobby Jon's a tough worker, supposedly, I hear, I don't know. We'll have to see, but you know he's kind of a little bit dumb, you could say.
-The last time I hiked eleven miles, was never, but eh, I took off after him, yeehaw.
-I don't know what's gonna happen... We might send off one these crippled, broke down guys. I mean, I'm having doubts if half of these people are even gonna make it. Blake, he's all crippled up and his shoulder was like killing him. He's still throwing up and he's getting cramps really bad. He's the one I'm most concerned about.
-Blake, he heaves, I don't think he can really handle it here. He's just you know, on his hands and knees just breathing hard and has been having problems the whole time we've been out here. I ain't got anything against the guy, I think he's a good guy and everything but I'm more one of those like a tougher guys, like you're hurting and everything but you have to man up.

-They asked me what I do, so I told them I was in landscaping. Fifteen years ago I was in NFL for five years. I don't think anybody's gonna know that. ... if somebody does recognize me, I'm just gonna say, that's not me.
-They've asked me what I do and I told them I was a landscaper, not a quarterback. Nobody's asking me what I did fifteen years ago. So I decided I wouldn't tell them.
-It's a busy morning. Everybody's working, except for right now I would say, Morgan's one who's not doing as much around the camp as everyone else. About Morgan, you gotta work around the camp if you want your tribemates to be on your side.

-11 miles in the jungle, it's absolutely insane... It was by far one of the toughest things I've ever done in my life. I'm just a frigging doorman from New York, I never even went camping.
-When I saw the boats, I was just absolutely winded, but I knew, that was the light at the end of the tunnel. Here we go.
-Yeah, I'm really starting to adapt to this jungle, jungle Judd, what about you? Enjoying the jungle life?
-Let me tell you something about Blake. He does basically nothing in camp, I mean the guy's a great guy but he does nothing in the camp. ANd then you got Margaret just nurturing him all day long. Every time I turn around it's all I hear 'sit down, relax, get some water' And I'm saying to myself, damn, how much relaxing does this dude need, man?

-We were just thrilled to have Bobby Jon, because he's not gonna quit for anything and he's not gonna disappoint somebody on this tribe.
-We came out of the jungle into a more open trail before the other tribe. But they were still right behind us. We just wanted to get them of our tails. It was like the movie Sea biscuit. When he sees his competition and he kicks it in I thought like I couldn't put one foot in front of me and all of a sudden I'm running down this trail in the muck.
-It was a bittersweet victory, because we won, we got there first. We got the fire and the best camp but some of us were in such bad shape, you're thinking 'if we lose it's not even worth having all this'.
-How can I complain about being woken up by howler monkeys in Guatemala. People pay money to do that.

-On survivor, the leader always gets fricking voted out first, heh. If someone steps up and takes leadership... And it was clear that Gary was our leader. He's taller than everyone, he's gray-haired...he's our leader.
-We were dead tired but all we had left was, you know, this Yaxha spirit, like, we can do this and we don't care if we're gonna be sick, we're giving everything we have.
-Yaxha is in desperation food mode right now. Everything out here we will try, at least once.
-The main thing is that our tribe vote somehow unified. You know that we don't have some crazy vote what no one expected and then us all be fractured at camp and stuff. The fact that we're going to tribal council tonight sucks so badly but the reality of the game is that's what happens.

-We were really happy to have Bobby Jon on our tribe. A man's just stronger than a woman is. It makes it, you know, easy on the eyes around the tribe, so that's always a plus.
-Well, I was a little surprised but I think a lot of times guys have more physical strength but women tend to have a little more endurance, maybe that played a part of it, but also they were carrying at the beginning a lot of load and they were throwing up and getting sick and that's gonna happen, that's just part of the game.
-We have a lot of really good athletes on our team but Yaxha's been right there in everything. Stephenie, we know, is an amazing athlete and worked in sport radio ... and Gary used to be a professional football player. So he's a quarterback. Quarterback's aren't usually as athletic as the rest of the football players, but heheh, he's doing well on his own, so...




There's a vote about tribe mates' qualities.
Most in need of some nourishment: Jamie, Danni
Smelliest: Gary, Bobby Jon
Most deserving of a picnic: Gary, Ami, Margaret, Judd
Most tribe pride: Brian, Cindy

A few notes on the differences of the typings.
Jim... He hardly has any screen time. In that screen time he's shown to be a practical, calm individual who knows what they're doing. This would fit an ISFp typing (as well as the aformentioned ESTj). Age increases how calm individuals seem so it tends to increase appearance of the invididual being of and I (cold) temperament. After I read his self-description on the Freedom from Religion foundation site:https://ffrf.org/outreach/item/13720...mber-jim-lynch
ESTj seemed more likely.

Morgan is on the show primarily shown as someone who does nothing. Any intuitive type would fit well, more so an introvert intuitive type. But she seems to be a rational type, initially self-assured with little to support the information, but more easily rattled by new information. Her background of performance arts would usually be more linked to ethical functions. Her background info supports great self-confidence on her relationships.

Brianna has a very telling relationship with Lydia. Lydia is alpha-quadra. Brianna is passive and withdrawn, dissatisfied with the relationship, all fitting fi-focus and a negative-results combination in her type. This could suggest ENFp. Her wllingness to introduce herself as sly, witty, deceitful, her connection to christian groups and cheerleaders all fit IJ-Fi better than EP-Fi. The sports background suggests some Sensory ability. Her introduction video also shows a rational temperament IMO. Hence ISFj.

Brooke, she's EJ-Ni. The line between ENFj-Ni and ENTj-Ni is small enough that in many circumstances it's indecipherable.

Blake on the show is clearly an ENTx. Originally I thought that the Brian-Blake negative relations could point to a gamma-alpha relationship but his bio supports ENTp over ENTj.

Margaret
In the show we see an individual with high sensory ability, a Te-Fi sensibility towards loyalty. Originally I thought her willingness for verbal combat with Judd would suggest ESTj and that her relationships with Blake were based not just on nursing instincts but also being the same temperament. Now with a few more years of experience I've seen these types of fights from Ep-types often enough.

Amy is EP-Ti. She shows more positive adventurousness than most ESTps, on the other hand she talks more about killing people than most ENTps and she's a highly physical policewoman.

Bobby Jon
Originally what I saw in Bobby Jon was a delta-introvert and I thought his dissonance with Stephenie might be due to mirror temperaments. Looking back to his behaviour in the previous season it's obvious he's an ST-type and he was hurt by Stephenie which gives Bobby Jon a hit on his desire to experience Fi-relations.

Brandon shows thinking and a focus on an introvert function as well as physical ability. So I originally thought ISTp. But the negativity, calculating strategy aspect of his actions suggests Ep-Ti over ISTp-Si. During the show Brandon starts showing more ESTp-like behaviour but with the friendly easy relations he starts showing more ENTp-like behaviour. Typing him depends on which part of the season one focuses on.

Gary shows cold temperament and thinking. He shows good relations with Amy and Rafe (beta-irrationals). This along with his NFL-background made me think high sensory, ISTj originally. But ISTjs tend to be expressive when they scheme and if they choose to fly under the radar, independent and detached, striking out on their own, making bold moves. Gary is very low-key, business-like and has better relations with Bobby Jon ISTp-Te than Brian ESFj-Fe. He actually seems like a very stereotypical INTp in the show.

Judd is rational, tactical, sensoric. His borderline violent behaviour made me first think Se along with his initially good relations with Stephenie and his merry-seeming 'I want to be the hero' thing. With a second look his relations with Stephenie seem to be more about meeting both Stephenie and Jamie Estj at the same time and 'feeling the love' in that moment. Judd claims motivation based on his family relations and his way of arguing is more protracted and on-going than burst-like, so more typical for Ej>Ij. His willingness to detach into moments of beer-bliss works with the idea of high ej-Si. So I claim Ej-Si, but whether one claims him EStj or ESFj depends on what moments on the show one focuses on.

Cindy is a positive-oriented thinking, static type (ENTp or ISTj). After being betrayed she started looking for ways to bend the new order to accept her rather than trying to take everyone down. This would be more typical for ISTj than ENTp. ENTps tend to blow a fuse, call people on their shit and get tossed out next or to actively look for allies on the sly to act against the origin of the traitorous act. Cindy just stands her ground and assumes the new order of things.

Lydia is such an obvious alpha SF. I originally thought that her good relations with Brian, her initial loyalty to Jamie and willingness to be goofy fit ESFj better than ISFp. But on a second thought Brian's act towards her seemed more like one-sided generosity rather than friendship and Lydia seemed relieved when getting rid of Jamie. I remain uncertain of which choice is the right one.

Danni, the most obvious part of her is that she's rational. She described her behaviour on the show as trying to beat the radar, keeping her game under close guard. She has a uniquely wide circle of friends, being able to work with just about everyone during the show. On the first look I thought this showed Ij-temperament and good Fi. But she shows very high physical ability, poor strategic skills in picking whom to help while also showing willingness to actively go out of her way to do nice things. Fi-types tend to be picky on their friends and focus on working through and with a more select few. Ej-Si tend to pick momentary friends and discard them as they go. Her vulgar cowboy hat is more typical for the Ej temperament and her good social skills can be explained by her media background. So now I think ESTj

Hello, are you open to answering any questions re: the material you're posting?

When you posted typing info on the Apprentice I actually ended up watching some of the episodes just to get on the same page socionics-wise (!), and while I don't know if I will be able to do the same thing with these Survivor episodes, i find several cool/helpful things about your posts.

Survivor 12 Panama




Tina Scheer ESFj
The youngest of six children born into a logging sports family, Tina Scheer learned how to log roll in Northern Wisconsin when she was seven years old. She feels all of her childhood memories are good ones and credits her mother for raising six children by herself.
Scheer is the owner of the World Champion Lumberjills, "Chics with Axes," a traveling group of female lumberjacks. She is also owner of The Great Maine Lumberjack Show, which is based in Trenton, Maine. She competes regularly as a lumberjill and is also a logging sports promoter.

She has been featured in CBS's Challenge of the Sexes, MTV's Real World, National Geographic, Sports Illustrated and Women's Sport & Fitness.
After Scheer was accepted to participate in Survivor: Guatemala, her only child, Charlie, 16, was killed in an auto accident one week before she was expected to leave. In spite of this tragedy, Scheer was determined to complete the Survivor adventure that they had started together. She describes herself as outgoing, funny and adventurous. Scheer feels her greatest achievement, apart from the privilege of being Charlie's mom, is promoting women in a man's sport.
Having grown up in the woods, Scheer is most comfortable in the outdoors. She is an avid hiker and biker, kayaks regularly and does X-C skiing.
-I don't think Cirie's had a lot of outdoor experince. Heck, we went to get together leaves to make a cushion for bed tonight and she said she hates leaves. Did anyone tell her what show she was gonna be in. I'm like thinking leaves are the least of your problems honey.
-I wrote this in the sand for my son. Charlie, he was killed in a car accident... months ago. He was just 16 years old. And he was my only child. I am sad. But I would like to keep that to myself. So I will come to talk to him once in a while... alone.


Melinda Hyder ENFp
Melinda Hyder was born and raised in Elizabethton, Tennessee. She has one sister, Regina, and is proud to point out that her parents, Richard and Carol, were high school sweethearts and have been married for 44 years.

-To finally be at your beach where your tribe flag is is huge and then of course where are we gonna build a shelter, where are we gonna do the fire, oh my gosh. We gotta do this, we only have two hours of daylight, yeah, so we went straight into work mode.
-There are a hundred reasons to keep Tina. She's a work horse. She caught a fish today. I mean, honestly there are a gazillion reasons to keep her. I do think that Cirie's the weakest link right now.
-It's like that game where you have to figure out what doesn't belong in a group... and Cirie and I are the ones that stick out. If our tribe loses the coming up immunity challenge, I think Cirie and I are screwed. Yep, we're screwed.
-I don't know who's gonna go first. Cirie seems to think she'll go first but I'm not so sure that it won't be me. I was the last one picked of our group so that's one reason I think that it might be me. And I'm not all 'ooo meditative cool yeah' that's just not me.


Misty Giles INTj
Misty Giles was born in Valdosta, Georgia. The first of three children in a military family, she moved frequently during her early years. She eventually settled in Texas, where she attended Killeen High School. No stranger to competition, Giles participated in varsity sports and later won the title of Miss Texas Teen USA 1999.
Giles' proudest accomplishment so far has been her ability to support herself through college and earn a Bachelor of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering from Southern Methodist University. She is currently employed as an engineer by a premiere advanced technology corporation and is pursuing a master's degree. Additionally, she is training for her next big challenge, marathon running.
Giles describes herself as highly adventurous, determined and sexy. She considers herself a "tomboy in high heels," as she was once the only girl on her local little league baseball team. She values her faith and work ethic as her best personal attributes. She has a passion for youth and spends time mentoring young girls to help them prepare to be strong and confident women. She has also lectured at motivational and engineering seminars. She enjoys political discussions, running, kickboxing, playing with her two Boston Terriers (Harley & Arthur), and most of all, spending time with her close friends.
Giles believes her competitive nature and natural problem-solving skills will help her get to the end of the game. Competing in the ultimate game of survival and winning are her motivations for taking on SURVIVOR: PANAMA—Exile Island.
-I'm the first person exiled to exile island. I definitely feel very vulnerable. That I didn't expect this soon, this early. So it came as quite a shock. Jeff did say there's an immunity idol on the island and he left me with clues. He said why did fate leave you behind. Seems to me he was trying to tell us that the immunity idol was buried behind this where we're standing. That was my guess anyways.
-Spending the night on exile island was my worst nightmare. I'm tired and hungry and really really really thirsty. My tribemates, the three of them, hopefully are doing better than me so they're strong for the next immunity challenge. But I definitely got a huge disadvantage. I'm the first one voted off should we not win. So I have been digging around cause Jeff mentioned that whoever finds the immunity idol on exile island doesn't have to tell anyone else. Well I think that's going to be a huge advantage and I definitely wanna use it, when I see my tribemates at the next immunity challenge I'll trick them into thinking that I found the immunity idol.
-Our tarp came just in time for the big rain that started pouring down. It was torrential. I mean, it was coming down hard.
-Sally has been really working hard on trying to get Nick and Austin to come here with us. Though it does seem there might be a little bit of a boys' club going on around here. I'm a natural flirt, that's just what I enjoy doing. Some people are born with it. I would flirt to help get ahead. I didn't come out here to sit on my rump. I came out here to have a good time and play the game.

-The older women are performing very well. Tina has the most interesting background. SHe's actually a log-roller. She is a very very resourceful woman. And so with Tina stepping forward into the leadership position I'm happy to step back and be one of the worker bees.
-We've been eating very little. Some stew we made out of snails and crab legs but nothing much to speak of.
-I'm never gonna be confident in tribal council but I'm not walking around paranoid. I don't think it's me tonight. So Sally will be going home unless something turns that I don't know about.

-There was the young beefcake crowd of which I was the charter member and president and there was the ? crowd, the older men, then the golden girls and there's the spice girls.
-(On Bruce) First thing you notice is the upbeat attitude. You can't help but feel better for being around him. Plus his knowledge took a lot of the extra effort in the expenditure of energy off us because he was willing to take the lead on everything.
-The rocket scientist brain trust that we have here decided immediately that the first thing we're going to do with our fresh new toilet is store wood in it. I was like 'alright'. I'm gonna go here take a dump before you start storing wood in the toilet.

-Terry's a great guy. I found out he was in the military piloting f14s. My background is that I retired from NASA as an astronaut. There are some similarities between the expedition to space and the expedition to a deserted island. The teamwork concept is very much alike on this island.
-I am thrilled with this outcome. It was a close call for me... I was the fifteenth guy picked. (he counts wrong) but Ruth did pick me and uh this was the team I definitely wanted to be in. Terry and I have a fantastic relationship and a strategy. It's gonna take us all the way, so heh, it's great.
-You know it's tough. Morale is down after losing but we are gonna use this to start changing this from a place that's barely gettin by to a place where we can live for a while.
-It's beautiful out here, another beautiful day in paradise. To have a quiet moment to enjoy it... I've been within 200 miles of this spot, many times... vertically.

He feels he'll be the Sole Survivor because of his willingness to try anything and his enjoyment of the learning that comes with both success and failure. He wants to be on SURVIVOR so he can travel, learn about himself in a difficult situation and meet smart, beautiful women.
-Aras, has definitely got a lot of ideas. Some of them, are kind of hare-brained and left field, like doing meditation to get fire. And it's like so grandiose like and then you just gonna go ok, how you gonna do that. Like we need to worry about basics.
-Terry just laid it out there. He said him and Dan are together and they want Austin and I with them. I think that him and Dan are both strong players both in the challenges and in their own camp and stuff. It makes sense for the short term in the tribe and the four of us have nothing to worry about with the majority over the three women. But, I don't really know what's going to happen.
-We're just slowly going downhill. Another day or two I don't know what kind of shape we're going to be out here. Right now I mean, we'd be catching a few fish a day and it'd be a whole nother ball game. The equipment we have for fishing is very old school, medieval and the knowledge on our part is minimal as could be
-There's a lot of strategy discussion amongst the tribe right now. Terry, he tried to get real technical about it. He said it was really just Dan's promise to Ruth Marie and it's kind of like, an easy hollow rationalization. I feel bad the way it's turned. Ruth Marie is part of the five of us. So I just... I don't want to go back on that.

-I would certainly prefer to have some females on our team. My personality I can't help but flirt with basically any female I come to contact with.
-Our tribe's just hysterical, I mean we all started to think two hours of being here and we don't have no fire going. And hopelessly building this pathetic shelter. We don't have a clue what we're doing.
-It is definitely Austin and Nick in the middle right now. We're right in the middle of a tug of war. ... This game is serious. This isn't just all fun and games. Somebody's gonna have to get hurt out here.
-That damn spear that Sally lost, god what we wouldn't give to get that back. How did you lose that spear.
-Terry, the sole provider of this tribe came up with Nemo, that's right, I'm talking about a fish, yay big. We have applauded that fish as if he'd caught a 14 pound catfish. We were so excited about that damn thing I don't even know how to talk about it.

Schumann recently went through a divorce and is currently dating her best friend. She currently lives in Chicago, where she works as a waitress and bartender.
-I started to get a little bit frustrated with the whole like where we should do the shelter. If you see it and you like it, don't even look anymore, because it's just a waste of time at that point.
-Courtney's plan is just so out there. SHe had all this symbolism for a dead sea turtle. To me it's just a turtle. I can not fake that I'm like deep into this.
-There is a lot of mean on that little guy (fish) or maybe it just felt like a lot cause we haven't had meat in so long. If we could catch a couple more of those every day, that would just be unbelievable.
-I think Misty is such a smart girl and I think she comes across in this like I want to massage everybody but you know there's a little something extra going into Austin and Nick's massages. We work well together cause she has that southern kind of flirty charm and I'm just like the pal, like 'what's up guys, let's hang out' I think between the two of us we're gonna do ok.

-My kata practise will really help me clear my mind, focus, get my mind ready for battle and then I get my mind ready the same way to be on this island. This place is horrible, evil it's like not good to be here. I would not wish this on my worst enemy.
-The tribe reacted to me with great joy. They thought I was a gift from heaven. They were just very ecstatic that I was there. ... Now I'm sitting top of the tribe.
-I'm gonna be designing a zen rock garden. This kind of brings a zen beauty to this place. It's relaxing inside the camp ground and inside the peoples' souls.

-It hasn't been the greatest day for us. We started off like you know, underdogs plus you know so we didn't win the fire when everyone else did. We don't have fire and water. And there's only three of us so and none of us have ever made a shelter before.
-We were so back and forth about where to pick our shelter. We were being women. 'Hi, do you think this will work?' 'I don't know, what do you think?' 'Is purple my colour?'
-I thought it was really ironic the turtle that represents like mother and goddess and like maid in American culture and that this is island where... you know are living on, it just to me, it seemed really significant.
-Shane is letting us down completely. He's leaving us high and dry... and I just feel like he's flat today and he threw in the towel. I mean it's just like come on man. Pick it up!

-I'm with the older guys, with the old guys I don't really fit in with them all that much. And they just wanna work all the time and I'm exhausted. I haven't had a cigarette and I smoked three packs of cigarettes a day for twenty years and I haven't had a cigarette in like 31 hours. I mean I'm just at the end of a rope.
-The update is that we're in a torrential downpour and our canopy wasn't completely built so we rushed trying to get the palm fronds on there. And we did it but the problem is the rain is coming in from the other side now so a bit of bad luck. This place breeds bad luck.
-You know I think about everything that I'm missing right now. I think about my kid. I think about, you know, it's football practise and we have a game saturday. I miss him so much. I miss my kid a lot. I don't... There's no reason for me to be doing this. We're gonna, I make more than enough money, I don't know why I did this to myself.
-This whole scenario is so different from the way I live my life. Like my life is very busy and it's always all the time constant like ADD you know what I mean, psycho boy. I'm just... I have a real hard time with the nothing to do part. I mean, plenty to do but it's monotonous and it's hard. It's hard.

-We walked up to the flag. There was a pot and a machete. The machete kind of scared me a little bit. I thought we might have to clear an area to build a house or something. And clearing areas kind of scares me because when you clear an area the things that used to live there come out. And I'm not good with things.
-Well, we lost. I'm really nervous. I don't feel like I'm the most physically fit person on the tribe. I don't want to be the first one to go.
-I wouldn't like to say that I'm gunning for anyone but I don't want to go home, so I'm gonna try to get rid of the lumberjack lady.
-I scaled the fish. It's almost like everything that I do is to ensure RuthMarie and Melinda that we'll be ok without the lumberjack lady. I hope it's working out.
-Oh my god, we have been invaded. I mean some of the people like Danielle, she's okay. And Courtney, like, I mean, she's all like, she, like

-We're stoked. We're older guys and we're into this and we're doing the boyscout thing right now. When people come over here I think they're going to see a roiling fire ...
-The decision to sen Bruce to exile island was a tough one. But he's an asset to that team and without Bruce they're not gonna be up on their feet as they should be. So we made a tough call. And uh, I wouldn't want to be him.

She attended the Winthrop Gymnastics Academy, Massachusetts, where she competed for eight years and won many awards. At Lynnfield High School, she played varsity soccer, basketball and track. An athlete and fierce competitor, DiLorenzo set high school state records in track and was captain of both her track and soccer teams. At 16, DiLorenzo was selected to represent the United States at the World Gothia Cup and traveled to Germany, Sweden and Austria. Additionally, she worked with the Ford Modeling Agency, participating in fashion shows in the Boston area.
DiLorenzo was then recruited to play Division One soccer at Quinnipiac University, where she studied marketing. Unfortunately, a knee injury during pre-season kept her from playing her first year. She decided to transfer to Northeastern University, where she eventually earned a Bachelor of Science degree in business with a concentration in both finance and marketing.

Her hero is her grandfather, because he always enjoyed discovering new things. He was a politician, a schoolteacher for children with special needs, a loving father and husband and an awesome grandfather.
-I was just pumped we had a challenge right off the bat. I mean that's my forte, that's my thing. I'm an athlete you know. Physical, that's what I came here for.
-I think Courtney she will over-dramatize things, I believe, which is not needed. You need to build a shelter, catch food, build a fire. There's so much to do and so little time to do it.
-For Shane, the first the first five minutes we were there was just like... us four...me, Shane, Aras and Courtney. The people that don't talk and communicate and see what's going on and see how people are feeling and look people in the eye, they're the ones that get voted off.
-Bobby just frustrates me all day. He's not a gentleman. I can't stand the fact that he's not a gentleman. I just can't deal with people like that.


Aras Baskauskas ENTp
Aras Baskauskas completed his undergraduate program in three years and earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy from the University of California, Irvine. In 2003, he was named one of UC Irvine's "Most Eligible Bachelors" in the student newspaper.

-We gotta figure out how we gonna get water, how we gonna get fire, how we gonna get shelter.
-And so now we have to talk about who we want to vote off. So I just want to do this with honesty and like openness and where I stand here is like I want the tribe to be as physically strong as possible. So I think like for me, I, and this is nothing against you two either one but I'm gonna throw my vote either with you or you and I haven't decided yet. Cirie, I see you looking at me like you hate me...
-I think the problems in our tribe are inherent in the personalities. I'm in an alliance with 3 nutballs (Shane, Danielle, Courtney) I fee like at this point.
-Sun comes out. Shane, myself and Bruce went and got snails. We got pounds of snails. As we're walking back, we look over and we see Courtney (doing yoga or stretches). And the problem is that I think that some people on this tribe don't realize exactly what being on an island by yourself means. We haven't eaten today yet.

While I was typing this seasons originally, I made a lot of mistakes. This serial typing of seasons and individuals was always done as it said... as initial notes. But it's taken a long time to get back to it. During survivor seasons, a lot of voting goes based on long-term tribal loyalties or assessment of individuals' physical or mental strength rather than socionics. The social relations are not always as telling as they are on apprentice or US or Canada version of big brother.

For you? Anything.

Thank you, when I read this it made me happy!

Mostly, i was wondering about the following:

"Morgan is on the show primarily shown as someone who does nothing. Any intuitive type would fit well, more so an introvert intuitive type." (quote from one of your posts above)

I know that what you say here is correct, it has to be true. Still, although I am asking you about the basics, what kind of activity do you have in mind when you type someone as sensor? Does it have to be some kind labor?

I am quite bad at applying theory it seems, or maybe I am going about it back to front, I really don't know. Thank you!

Claiming that any activity particular activity is different from another per se makes no sense. Any individual can engage in any activity, it's all about focus, training, desire. But the reason socionics works as a social construct is that the intuitive perceives themselves as the not-doer to the sensory individual who is the doer. So the intuitive individual tends to lack the desire, the focus to be the one to acts and hence usually lacks training and experience and muscle tone regarding practical skills. But if they focus in these activities they can do anything. But why would they? If they don't perceive themselves as the one who does things. So the intuitive individual learns to guide, to motivate, to analyse, diagnose, choose, accept, resist the actions of others, to support, defend, decry, attach or detach themselves regarding the actions of others. As usual the extrovert function (Ne) works through focusing energy, choice, introvert function works through understanding the connections between things, guidance and manipulation.

Season 20: Heroes v. Villains

Boston Rob: SLE
Pretty obvious. Naturally emerges as the leader during puzzle challenges. Has disdain for weak people like Coach ("you're a little man" or when Coach goes to him for emotional help and he essentially tells him to toughen up or nobody will respect you). Beta mentality "you're either with me or against me". Analytical about people, but in a Se/Ti way.
Apparently he majored in psychology which I didn't expect for an SLE!

Russell: SEE
Also pretty obvious to me. Whereas Rob is very analytical when it comes organizing votes, challenges, and general T things, Russell is exceedingly analytical when it comes to people and groups. Additionally, just because he has what everyone views as immoral methods doesn't mean he can't value Fi. It's like with Trump lol.
To everyone thinking he's an SLE, just contrast him with Boston Rob. Rob's Fe HA vs Russell's Fe demo for example.

Coach: ILE
One of those ILEs where the Ne seems to almost overpower Ti/Te. Lofty Ne ideals that don't have a place in a show like this. Terrible Fi. I felt bad for him, but like Rob, absolutely could not respect him which is probably the beta in me speaking.

Candice: SLI
Can come off as chillingly analytical (it's not even that I'm biased-- an ILI made this comment). Obvious Fe PoLR. Very refined approach during individual challenges that screams Si/Te to me.

Parvati: EIE
Yay! Our season's successful intuitive!
Inclined to ride the wave when possible instead of making bold game-changing plays like Russell. Playful, charming, and likeable in a way I associate only with beta NF. It's interesting to note that Russell and Parvati are a benefaction relation..!

Sandra: ESI-Se
Things that stick out: characteristic ESI loyalty, need to stay true to herself, strong likes and dislikes, that sassy Se creative, excellent gamma SF management of the game.
It's interesting to observe how being SO-blind makes her gameplay very different from that of, for example, Rob, Russell, and Parvati's, who are not SO-blind.



Since the beginning, I was rooting for Boston Rob and Sandra because they are very likeable. I didn't think Rob would win though.
Eventually, for Parvati (I wish she won).
I couldn't stand everyone saying that Russel's methods weren't valid. It's okay if it makes you not want to vote for him, but don't say it's not fair game in a game like this.

Season 28 Cagayan

Tony SEE. Noticeable Ni weakness. Says by day he's impulsive and by night he talks to the moon and tries to fix everything. Luckily, he's good enough that he compensates pretty well for Ni blindness-recklessness. I initially thought he might be ESE, but Si devaluation is clear. He admits he sucks at the puzzles. A more normal and likeable, less egotistical version of Russell. A great observation by Spencer: Tony has great instincts that I lack, I'm too cerebral.

Woo IEI. Has that lighthearted beta Fe creative. Described by the others as quiet. Ride the wave type of player (others call it passive) characteristic of 4D Ni. At the end, argues he should win based on Ni+Fi reasons. Besides the moral and loyalty reasons, misjudges his gameplay in a way I can only describe as 1D Se lack of reality-view.
(^semiduals. Woo is quite suggestible by Tony.)

Sarah, a not very bright LSI-Se with bad Ne PoLR; black & white thinking, gets stuck on one thing and can't change course. Also.. she looks like a caricature of Ne PoLR lol. Her body, especially the top, is well built, but when she moves it looks very rigid and unflexible.

Trish & Kass & Spencer, I wish I could figure it out. (haven't looked through the thread yet)

My favs: Tony & Spencer.
