‘Survivor: Gabon’ Aftergasm - The Truth of the Matter

Survivor fans, we are a splintered nation. As evidenced by the reaction to last night’s excellent Survivor: Gabon episode, you are either with Sugar or you’re against her. Perhaps “against her” is a harsh qualifier – personally, I don’t think she’s the dullest bulb in the world, but I also don’t believe Sugar is some kind of secret mastermind like some are purporting her to be. Sugar, since the first episode, has struck me as a drama queen, someone who likes the camera and takes advantage of the moment when that camera is on her. This whole “maybe she’s smarter than she looks” sentiment is misguided. More appropriate is the “maybe she isn’t as terribly dumb as she sometimes carries herself.” It’s not like Sugar had to concoct some sort of genius strategic plan last night. She had to decide between two people to vote for and, even with that simple decision, she was conflicted until the last moment.

So, please, let’s stop this whole Sugar is a genius talk. Her crying while voting, milking her screen time for all its worth, is kind of adorable in a “oh, the puppy wants attention” kind of way. Sugar, the pawn that she is, will continue, for at least one more week, to be an important figure. She can alternate back to the other alliance if she so chooses. She knows Ken is a sneaky little dude whose ego is growing exponentially by the day. The second he gets caught in one of his lies it opens the door for Sugar to rightfully switch allegiances. If Sugar is truly smart, it might be a good decision to simply remain a swing vote for as long as she can. Remember, she still has that immunity idol. Sugar is in a good position. Whether she remains there or not is completely up to her.

  Matty is an amazing, fun guy. I hope some movie producer picks him up for some kind of a role in a fun happy movie. I respected him because when he paid another person a compliment you could tell he was sincere and from his heart. He said that he had respect for everyone that

  Dear Corrine, My dad died when I was 8 years old. My brother was murdered at 18 years old. My greatest loss was when I lost my mother eight years ago. It almost killed me. I realized then that no one could ever understand the agonizing pain of loosing a mother until they lost their

  Hi Bob, Congratulations! I just wanted to say that Sugar is a person with a big heart that cares for people. She looked to you as a father. I lost my mother and it almost killed me. If I were you I would have not have thought twice but would have split the $100,000 with

  Corrine-- I am a corporate recruiter in the medical sales field, and I don't know whether to laugh or cry after seeing your performance. Were you dropped on your head as a child?? First of all, no company in their right mind would EVER hire you after watching Survivor...your neurotic, mean and disingenous personality set a new standard

  Sugar deserved zilch,nada, zero, nothing!! Shes certainly not the brightest crayon in the box..Ok, so she gives Matty the idol, And keeps him in, Well she cared enough then to keep him in, how come she had to make it a tie vote?? I agree and stand with Corrine completely.. Plus, as they said we only

  I think it's clear that if the jury were composed of better people, Sugar would have won. She outsmarted, outlasted, and outplayed everyone. Period. That they voted for Susie instead just shows how petty and childish the jury was this season. As for the people who seem to revel in being unpleasant, they should be

  i agree they acted childish, but i think that corrine is the rudest person ever, the things she has said to Sugar are........descusting, horrible, and insulting.
- JOSANTOS commented on Corinne’s Finest Moment:
  
  I hope Survivor's next SEASON would not have another Corine, who thinks "SHE'S GOD GIFT TO MANKIND." Corine don't think you're pretty you are ugly and without good manners at all. With to many unemployed today, you bet you will be one of them. Employers will be scared. Learn your lesson Corine, watch the

  I have seen the show from day one, It should be called the conivers, Even though it's just a game it truely amazes me how low the human society will stoop for money. But I have to say that Bob and Sugar have restored some of my faith in humanity with how they played the
- DebbieDoo commented on Corinne’s Finest Moment:
  
  Dear Corrine: Your mother must be very proud. It is one thing for you to show your true colors (which by the way are very ugly) but its another thing to shame your parents and if they say different they are liars just like you. Please get help. No one, not

  i really think that everyone played a fair game .But i think that Corrine's foul language pisses ppl off .. I think that Marcus ,Charlie really really played the game well , but how ppl treat them the way they are , im totally not please with it .. But i think overall ,

  Jeff, Did anyone notice the item on Sugar's neckless she wore while in Cabon? Was there a meaning behind it? It looked like a 45 record adaptor for the record players? It sure stood out the whole time. She really played a great game.
