I've got to hit the road as I'm running way late because I came here when I should have delayed computer time til work was done........! But that is by way of saying, I want to get this party started with a hashing over of Survivor, but *I* can't talk right now. I've got to go, but will be back. But didn't you just know Christie was going when she started to play the game last night?????? OK. KaCee is just now getting up, but some of you should be out and about already. We'll talk. Seren

gotta tell ya, i felt sorry for christy last night. she really took getting the boot bad and i think they did her dirty.

have a great day,

ellen

Christy shot herself in the foot by trying to "play the game" and be coy about what she was going to do!

I still find myself wondering if Matt and Butch are both terribly stupid to not be able to see thru Rob, or if they are incredibly smart in pretending to not see him for what he is! Rob's comment about "all of the rest of us would have done the same thing" about made me toss my cookies....ain't no way on this green earth he'd have done what Matt did. Rob is about as self-centered an selfish as they come! Altho, from past surviors one could have expected the outcome to be as it was. He was nearly in tears when his mom came forward though!

I have a feeling Rob will be the ultimate winner and that annoys me to no end!!

Christy was mad!!! Did you hear her comments over the credits at the end about the "evil step-sisters"? Didn't know she had it in her!! I was watching her interview on the CBS morning show and our local station cut in with something just after it started so I only saw about 1 minute. Darn!! Wanted to hear what she had to say. Now for me it's Butch all the way. KaCee

Poof!!! I'm gone!!

Yep, I agree!! As soon as Christie started talking, I thought, "Oh my goodness, you just booted yourself out. What were you thinking?!!"

Geez, are they the dirtiest smelliest looking bunch you've ever seen?!! When their family members ran in and kissed them, I thought, "OH YUCK!!" LOL!!

Nice to know who the other Survivor fans are, good idea!!...Susie

Hugs,

Ha, I just love having this discussion! Can't get enough! Yes, Christie shot herself in the foot, then blamed the evil girls. Well, OK, they are evil. Even when the blonde was trying to negotiate with Christie, did you see the dark-haired girl's face? Just totally cold. But still, evil or not, Christie did herself in. And I am so disappointed that KaCee, you, too, missed her interview this morning! I was curious. Well...one of life's little sorrows. LOL Rob's a nasty all right, but I think that's a pretty good way to play this particular game, which is why I could never do it. LOL Oh, not that I couldn't be nasty, but I would just be stupid and nasty, not conniving and nasty!

So, KaCee, how about The Manor House? I know Kt tuned it out, those kids riled her! But I just finished watching the end of it. I'd had to tape it because a phone call interrupted!!!! Aaaarrghh! But I loved it, and will watch it again when my DD1 is home for a few days. She couldn't watch as she is in exams. The butler/architect was so perfect. The French chef was such a workaholic and a real skunk! I just thought they were so good, even when they were bad! You had to ponder about why they were bad. I have always thought my father was the product of a Victorian home, now I see it was truly an Edwardian home, and that was appropriate for the time. There was love there, but also life was very rigid. Well, not with an upstairs/downstairs, master/servant household, but just a formality that was unusual even then. Sunday afternoons, we always went to visit with my grandparents. Dressed in our "Sunday" clothes, naturally! The adults sat at one end of the *parlor* in a furniture grouping, and the kids (4 of us)lined up on the sofa at the far end of the room (youngest kid on the floor). We sat in silence, were not included in conversations, although we were expected to listen, only time attention was paid was if we fidgeted too much, or got into a squabble! And by squabble, believe me, it was a silent squabble, whispers, elbowing, that kind of thing. Then it was a sharp word and that was it! Once in a while, we were allowed to play the card game Authors (anyone remember it?), because they considered that it was educational. Otherwise, games were not a permitted Sunday activity. We could read. If we, for some special occasion, had ice cream, it was one scoop each in a pretty bowl, and we helped to serve, said "Thank you", and ate quietly. Gee, we were good kids!! I told this to my DD1 the other day, and she said "How awful". And I said that it really wasn't. It was how we were raised, and I loved my grandparents and elderly widowed aunt dearly, and knew they loved me in return. But, it was only when I was a young adult, that I got to really know them, as we then had adult conversations. I was amazed to discover in the year or so before my grandmother died, that I must have gotten my love of studying languages from her. I'd never known. So Edwardian!!! Well, you can see, that program really struck a chord with me. More info for you than you needed or wanted! LOL Big thunderstorm warnings now so I better shut down the computer.

Seren, you do have a way with words. You paint pictures with them. DH told me last night he was glad he watched "Manor House". When I first mentioned it he didn't think he would like it but really got into it. He said he almost felt that the butler and chef were actors they were so perfect. The strife that the maiden aunt felt was real but I don't know if the average edwardian lady in her position would have suffered the same never knowing anything different. Some would have. Same with the problems of a lot of the downstairs staff. Charlie (or was it Robin?) trying to bring 21st century workplace ideas into the edwardian era...wouldn't happen. Class was class in that time period and if you were born into a certain class chances were you would die in that class. Even gaining material wealth would not open those doors to the full extent. You could buy a title perhaps but some would look down on your for that. Nouveau riche. Interesting show, I liked it alot. Tristan, the stable boy was my favorite. Love the name, DD has talked about naming a son that but I don't know if DSiL would go for it! Tristan Atticus, is the name she has talked about since she was about 14. She reads alot! I would like to know how the upstairs family adjusted to being home, back in the real world. KaCee

Poof!!! I'm gone!!

Yes, KaCee, the butler and the chef!! Gosh, they looked as though they could be right out of central casting! We didn't see too much of Tristan, did we, or did I miss it? I do remember that he was nice looking! No, didn't miss that! And obviously, your DD reads a lot! What a rich name! Your little GS would have to be quite gorgeous (which he would be, natch!), romantic (??), sensitive, very deep...Might be hard to carry his name til he's a big boy! The problems with slotting contemporary people into the Edwardian life were fascinting. Gee. It was over tooooo soon! What a great idea for a project for TV.

Yes, how did they adjust? They were *all* very reflective people, even the little son. Wonder where they all are. The two--oh, I forget the title, the "under-the-butler" boys-- were heading out to travel the world. I'm going to look up the chef's Internet site: was it thechef.com?? Something like that.

The second Donati book arrived today! Yummmmm! Seren

Yes, Seren, I kind of got that feeling early in the show, but really wanted that Rob to go. Now it is obvious the threesome will be there to the end. They are sticking together no matter what. And they have "principles"? Oh lordy, that is kind of funny.

They will get Matt and Butch off, don't you think?

Sad to say, but I thought it was amusing when Christie said she felt she "held the upper hand". What a shocker, and she cried at the last interview saying the "wicked stepsisters" were not going to win the million if she had anything to do with it! NOW it is getting interesting.
