Rachel would rather go against Ashli than Robin... hmm... wonder why? I'd rather go against Ashlie too. The girl seems like she could barely walk in a straight line without hurting herself. I REALLY like Rachel.... but that was lame-o. BTW.. I think Robin's new nickname should be.. "The Pot". Whatcha think?
I love Rachel. I love how they still consider her a threat and only one person there knows her.
Go KellyAnne!!! :)
Props to Rachel and KellyAnne in that face-off seriously.
The prophesy is unfolding just as the Oracle has foretold... [CENTER][URL="http://vevmo.com/vbimghost.php?do=displayimg&imgid=510"][IMG]http://vevmo.com/imagehosting/148dafd7eddfac.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [/CENTER]

Ok. Rachel. I like you no longer. You pledge to send Jen home then change your tune when she's listening. BS. edit: KA is a competitor. I just wish she'd quit the complaining already.
Sad elimination, seriously. Jenn, Rachel, and Ryan are amazing people.
[quote=Insider;30714]Ok. Rachel. I like you no longer. You pledge to send Jen home then change your tune when she's listening. BS.[/quote] Yeah, but she even said, I made ties and I can't throw someone under the bus.
[quote=Bacchus;30712]The prophesy is unfolding just as the Oracle has foretold... [/quote] So who is the chosen one?? ...KellyAnne? :wink: Ha, Just kidding.

[quote=Dartagnan;30716]Yeah, but she even said, I made ties and I can't throw someone under the bus.[/quote] Ya.. she said that after Jen was listening.. Did she tell Jen she promised to vote for Kenny and Johnny over her?
I only started at G2, and saw only clips from older challenges. So I didn't grow into liking Rachel. But me personally, I like the underdogs on the challenges, (ie. KellyAnne)
[quote=Insider;30719]Ya.. she said that after Jen was listening.. Did she tell Jen she promised to vote for Kenny and Johnny over her?[/quote] Yeah, but how do you know it wasn't sincere? Sounded sincere to me. But they still keep in contact and everything today, so I don't think it is a lie.
[quote=Insider;30719]Ya.. she said that after Jen was listening.. Did she tell Jen she promised to vote for Kenny and Johnny over her?[/quote] But did Jenn ever hear her tell Kenny and Johnny before the actual vote that she would choose them over her? As far as I saw, Jenn didn't know about the backroom deals Rachel made. I wonder...if Rachel had been straight with Johnny and Kenny from the start, would they have voted to keep her? And I can't believe how their "alliance" controls things. I hope Paula and Johanna know that at least one (and probably both) of them are not going to be on that boat, if Derrick and Dunbar both already have keys and, while not as deep into the alliance, are in cahoots with the other two.

I have always rooted for the underdog and don't like the "mean girl" mentality. Actually, I did a quick interview with her a few years ago and she was pleasant. :D

I talked about the comment she made to Kenny about him not having a show. It was pretty funny. I have always liked her. So Bacchus, does this mean you don't like Coral? I liked this episode. So far we have had three solid episodes, with three of the most disappointing eliminations.
[quote=Dartagnan;30732]I liked this episode. So far we have had three solid episodes, with three of the most disappointing eliminations.[/quote] I'm with you on that one. I love how they edited the "Shut the *** up!" scene, and how they cut out the part were Ev gave away Kelly Ann's win.
[quote=Dartagnan;30732] So Bacchus, does this mean you don't like Coral? [/quote] Coral had her place in the scheme of things. I just don't think Rachel offers anything these days on competitive level (made fully clear tonight) or an entertainment level (nothing she said made me even crack a smile.) She is better off in LA hawking tee-shirts. ;)

Entertainment level she hasn't had great drama, but good confessionals and some nice air time I guess, but thats understandable. But do you like Coral though? I find it funny though that Rachel was thought of as the biggest threat. I thought she would just go under the radar. Paula and Johanna have definitely gone down a lot in my books. I liked both of them, but I have officially seen the light that both Paula and Johanna have turned to the dark side.
Wow. First I lose Abram, and now I lose Rachel. This sucks for me. I'm getting so sick of Kenny and Johnny in the most disgusting way imaginable. Seriously, get off my TV. And Johanna is getting on my nerves too. I thought the face was kinda lame, but I loved that underdog KellyAnne won, even though I would've preferred Rachel winning. It kinda sucked that Rachel begged the alliances of ****** bags to keep her in, it kinda felt like she lost all power she ever had in these games.

[QUOTE=Moonpaw;30735]I'm with you on that one. I love how they edited the "Shut the *** up!" scene, and how they cut out the part were Ev gave away Kelly Ann's win.[/QUOTE] We should be fair to Evelyn. She did not give away Kelly Anne's win. The editor did. The cast is not supposed to internally edit their comments in case the producers want to backtrack and use a clip in the dailies or the episode totally out of sequence. The important point would be that in the episode, the dinner preparation sequence takes place after the face-off we saw tonight. The is a production lesson that everyone should commit to memory. Rather than showing the natural progression of things from that last face off where Johnny complained about the opposing "*******" to determing the players in the face off, to the competition, to the dinner, there was a build up to the confrontation between Kelly Anne and Johnny. The editors decided they could make better TV by opening the episode with the "fight." If they had shown it in sequence, Evelyn's point about how Johnny came to win his key would not have been lost. What Ev clearly was saying was that Johnny, Derrick and Kenny knew when J and D volunteered that Abe was going to throw the face-off, so each would get a key. She is reminding them that their method was game-smart but cowardly.
[quote=Dartagnan;30739]I think she proves pletny competitively. Shown tonight by lasting 3 hours up there.[/quote] Back when when I was growing up, we called second place - first loser. Hell, it wasn't even that long ago. These days everyone wants a frick'n pat on the back... If you compete in one event and lose, you are not competitive. End of story.

And yes, Paula and Johanna have degraded themselves immensely.
Johanna....yikes. Idk man...I know we have a certain few Johanna fans on here (lol) but man. I have a feeling she'll be one of the ones stuck on the island when the 8 leave. As much as I didn't like Kelly Anne during Sydney...I always root for the newbies in the challenges. I was glad to see her victorious. (Though, i REFUSE to ever...EVER root for Ashli. I have to have some standards, right?) This season is getting a liiiiittle better.
