Videogame Nerd Vs. Olympic Track Star!! Penultimate SURVIVOR: GABON!!

Published at:  Dec 13, 2008 5:44:28 PM CST

I am – Hercules!!


First, some proof of Sugar's modeling career:



Some thoughts:

One episode tonight, the season finale Sunday, and six survivors left, including two with prior claims to fame.

If I’m doing my math right, we’ll be returning to having three finalists vying for votes in the finale.

Even though Crystal Cox won a gold medal in the women's 4x400m relay at the 2004 Summer Olympics, a number of her “Survivor” competitors, curiously, were able to beat her in footraces. Crazy!

If the MacGyver-like physics teacher Bob Crowley doesn’t win the immunity challenge tonight, it looks like he’ll be the latest contestant booted from NoBag. Which is a shame, because Bob deserves to win, if only for that incredibly convincing fake immunity idol he fashioned from rocks and twigs. Plus, the old codger won both the reward and immunity challenges last week.

The final six:

* Kenny Hoang, 22, pro gamer, Westminster, Calif.

* Sugar Kiper, 29, actress/model, Brooklyn, N.Y.

* Crystal Cox, 29, Olympic gold medalist, Durham, N.C.

* Matty Whitmore, 29, pro trainer, Pacific Palisades, Calif.

* Susie Smith, 47, hairdresser, Charles City, Iowa

* Bob Crowley, 58, physics teacher, Portland, Maine

“Survivor” remains one of the highest-rated shows in primetime despite the fact that most of the hottest girls this season were voted off early in the season. Let’s have another look at them, in anticipation of Sunday’s post-BNAT reunion show:



Kelly Czarnecki, 22, salesgirl, Buffalo Grove, Ill.



Michelle Chase, 24, production assistant, Los Angeles.
(Michelle provides the title of this post.)



Paloma Soto-Castillo, 24, student, Downey, Calif.



Jacque Berg, 25, medical sales, Santa Barbara, Calif.



Corinne Kaplan, 29, pharmaceutical sales, Los Angeles.
(Emmy-winner Jeff Probst says: “not likeable.”)



Jessica Kiper, 29, model, Brooklyn, N.Y.

    When they showed her audition tape she had been living in her car, btw I lol'd as her sister is a fat munter and you got to wonder who's genes that poor cow ended up with. None of the women this season have been remotley worthy of winning all turned out to be whiny so and so's lot of them with maybe Jacques the exception but then even though a hot body she has a face that reminds me of Kinski from Nightbreed, Kenny to win or Bob they about the only ones who seem to have got the most from the show. <BR Oh and I only watch this as the like the other half is into it...no choice you see.

  • Good God, could Corrine be more of a miserable human being? "I'm so glad to see my brother because I can't stand everybody here and he's the only one who gets me."

    Sugar, on the other hand, seems like a pretty decent person, even if she's a bit naive at times and is almost as worthless in competitions as that so-called Olympic athlete.

    by dmann

    Sugar could be making a living without waiting tables. She has several roles that, if they were speaking, could fill out a portfolio with modeling and actually pay the rent, theoretically, I think. Some of you LA people may know what 4 episodes of GILMORE GIRLS pays, or some of her other credits.

    Either way, shes hot.

    by guy gaduois

    This Bob, the physics teacher is great. This show, however, irritates me. Ken would have been eaten the first week, before his skinny little self was too sinewy to enjoy. Ken stew. They need to let the person voted out stalk the other survivors during the night and see if the voted off can figuratively cut someone's throat in the night and take their place. Maybe figuratively is too strong a word . . .

    Emmy-winner Jeff Probst says: “not likeable.”

    by big jim

    Corinne certainly does come across that way. Anyone else see the Ponderosa videos on CBS' site? She compares herself to the popular kids in high school, everyone else being freaks and losers. Really, a self-absorbed, elitist bitch.I like the idols Bob made but he wasted them. What was the point of giving one to Randy - dude was going home not matter what, no need to trick him. And then last week, he and Corinne trying to trick Crystal & Kenny into BOTH voting with them against Matt. An all or nothing, hail mary to the final four, plan that failed because it depended on Crystal & Kenny doing something they didn't need to do. IF Corinne had had a real idol, C & K did not need to vote against Matt. Bob & Corinne's votes would have been enough to send Matt home. What they should have done is make sure Crystal, Kenny, Matt, Suzie, and Sugar all knew that Corinne had an idol. If she did, because Bob had immunity, one of them would be the one to go home. Wouldn't that have caused panic and paranoia among the other five, possibly enough to make them turn on one another? Just a thought.

    Sugar's 4 episodes of the Gilmore Girls was 6 years ago

    by big jim

    I'd think the money she made from that gig is long gone. Looking over her credits, I wouldn't think many of them, especially the more recent ones, are all that high paying. Would her annual residuals even cover one month's rent?On the other hand, her husband seems to be working quite a lot. Anyone know when they filmed this season of Survivor? I would guess it was before Sugar got married in August which would explain why she never mentioned a husband. However, unless she met this guy and married him within a month, I'd have to think they were engaged while she was doing the show, yet never mentioned. I tend to think she's playing a character - the wayward waif with a heart of gold.

    Randy: What intelligence? That’s the edit of the show. For whatever reason, she’s looked cute and semi-smart. That’s just not it. She’s not cute. Maybe she’s a little smarter than I gave her credit
    for. I wish the best for Sugar. I hope she meets a nice guy and gets married. Oh wait, she did that a month ago after meeting the guy for a week. And it’s already annulled.

    by big jim

    Instead of letting Kenny guilt him into making a promise he should have blasted both Kenny & Crystal for fucking up the plan. If Crystal had voted for Matt, like she had promised to do, then Kenny wouldn't have looked like a schmuck and wouldn't have been in a tenuous position by turning on his alliance because he would have had an alliance of 4 against 3. Matt, has this guy never watched the show? You are in a loose alliance of 5 people, You are not really tight with anyone. You are a strong physical threat. Once those outside your alliance are gone, you will have to turn on one another. Who do you think the majority will want to get rid of as soon as possible? Matt, if you think you, then maybe, it might have made sense to find new allies among the outcasts in order to keep yourself from being ousted. Season after season we see the same thing: people in alliances of 5 or 6 where they know they are on the outside of the core four, and yet they wait until there are only 6 or 7 players left before they start to think about maybe securing their place in the game.

    Bob is either a genius or really lucky.

    by flim springfield

    His first fake idol is used to play a joke on another player- that's good for Bob, it meant they were targeting someone else, not him.
    The second fake idol was used in a scheme that Kenny and Crystal had no reason to even join into. Kenny didn't need to vote with them if the idol was real, but he feel for it, fracturing the alliance and helping Bob's game.
    Bob makes a foolish promise to Kenny, but thanks to Sugar wanting to help "the good guys", he gets to save himself and Kenny, keeping the deal somewhat intact.

    by shermdawg

    I hate when they do that. They should do one last surprise immunity challenge where not only does the winner avoid being voted out, but they get to send one of the remaining people or someone in the jury packing, thus potentionally getting a bad vote off the table. The trick here though, is the person that is eliminated gets a spot in the next season of the show.

    by himbo

    The fake idol ep was the biggest laugh. The transfer of the real idol was a royal stylish "screw you" that clearly impressed the jury. Should be a great finale. To the haters (and I was one until season 14) Try to watch Survivor from a gamer-geek perspective. It is much like the classic board game "Diplomacy" (waiting for the perfect moment to screw your ally). It's only an hour a week, and you probably spend that much time watching other game shows like "cash cab" repeats.

    by big jim

    I can't see them doing a final 3 - if that were the case, the jury would have only 7 members, which means someone could win with as few as 3 votes (which means the majority of the jury voted for someone else). Although, with a final 3, winning without getting the majority of votes cast is always a possibility.Has a final 3 ever been anything but a two-way vote? Has that third person ever been a spoiler, taking a vote that may have gone to another changing the outcome of the game? Don't think so. Remember the first or second time they had the 3-way - it was unanimous. The other 2 didn't get a single vote.The finale is 2 hours so I can see them doing 3 immunity challenges. But do they have enough time - do they have 3 nights left? They could do two votes back to back. Or the last immunity challenge there are two immunities to be won, the two who don't win it are gone.

    I found I could enjoy Survivor once I stopped being (to misquote South Park) "Preachy and up my own ass." Survivor and some shows (Project Runway) have their own method of storytelling that isn't the writer's style, but still provides a compelling narrative. It's that narrative that draws me back, and the reason why I can watch these individuals struggle to reach the goal, and why I like shows like Survivor and Runway. I don't care for most primetime reality gameshows or "Dancing with Stars." But I'm not gonna spew hate, they just aren't my thing. Also thanks to AICN for turning me onto amazon's TV sale last winter. I picked up 6 seasons at $12 per. Survivor OUTBACK was amazing. And I must correct: I started watching Cook Islands (season 13). Loved Parvati. Glad she did well in Fans v. Faves. Hope Survivor goes back to the beach in the next season.

    I don't like it when they have to play in their clothes. I much prefer it when the ladies can pack a bikini. Need proof? Compare Amanda in China (playing in clothes, more often than not wearing her buff as a top) to Amanda in Fans vs Favorites (bikini, t-shirt). No contest.
