   You can take the girl out of Jersey, but you can’t take the Jersey out of the girl!

   Is that really Stephanie? OMG. I missed the episode and my sister said I wouldn’t recognize her even if I did.. Is it possible though that her eyebrows improved significantly?

   Hey ktro…it looks like Steph waxed her eyebrows off completely and drew them back on…

   Did it ever occur to anyone that Steph’s hair may be naturally curly and not a perm? You don’t get that consistent of curl in the wilderness, in and out of the water, or at home with a perm.

   Morgan seems to be Giada and Charlie Brown’s long lost sister. Bobby-Jon was way hotter when he was in Guatemala. He and Jamie both look like they had a run in with a hard water shower.

   That’s either collagen or too much Lip Venom. Come on man- lips aren’t naturally like that!

   I also believe Danni had a little botox put into those lips. They don’t even come close to the way they were during the show. I think they were bothering her. She kept doing funny movements with her lips throughout the reunion!

   I thought Danni looked better in Guatemala.

   Who the heck is Morgan?

   I can’t decide what was worse: Danni’s porn star lips or Steph’s ridiculous penciled in eyebrows, green eyeshadow and mall hair.

   Nope, wait, I decided! Steph hands down.

   What? Bobbi Jon is not hot.

   B-side, please post that pic of bobbi jon’s eyes in the back of his head…

    I thought Danni looked gorgeous at the reunion.
    She was pretty during the show… so long as you didn’t look at her painfully skinny ass….but she cleans up really well too.

    I have naturally curly hair and I’m going to say Steph does too. RealityTV4Me is right… a perm would never hold up like that. She needs a very good dose of frizz-ease and Survivor needs to fire their stylist. I mean, someone does do the contestants’ hair and make-up for them right? Horrible.

    For some reason I get the biggest kick out of that clip of Amy saying to Gary in that strange half-laughing/half-pissed voice/accent “If I find out it’s true I’m going to come to your house and… beat… you… doooowwwwn.”

    Is Jamie mentally limited? For real.

    flymotha- I acutally said a similar comment about Jamie to my sister while I was watching the reunion. I believe he is mentally slow.

    Lydia’s picture=priceless. Truly, everybody loves a spicy latina!
    Judd still is Emmett Otter with an Eeyore attitude.
    I asked my hubby who he thought was cuter, and he liked Steph. I dunno. I thought she looked better in La Wilderness with no makeup and/or shelacking. Danni’s horrific, emaciated clavicles made me glad to be fat. If you can hang your shirt, your keys and a small toaster off a body part, it’s time to eat. The show should have fed her out of mercy and fear she was going to
    blow away. That’s why she was never attacked by a crocodile–no meat! Steph was bitching about being hungry, but it was Danni who spoke volumes just by wasting away. It actually made me like Steph less, listening to her complain and having someone from Schindler’s List standing next to her. Ugh. Best girl won.

    “Is Jamie mentally limited? For real.”

    drunk is more likely. but he’s definitely a little dull-witted. he looked like he’d put on a little more weight than everyone else, too. And, as Dean Wormer would say, “Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son.”

    as for all of y’all who are waiting for danni’s playboy spread, i think we’re probably out of luck: she’s a midwestern holy roller, and she doesn’t exactly need the money at the moment. maxim or one of the other non-nip’n'bush mags, on the other hand . . .

    Thanks for an awesome season of recaps b-side!!! Now I’ve got a reason to look forward to . . . what was is, “Skull Island Survivor”

    One last thought, if Danni wont do Playboy, perhaps Judd would do Playgirl . . .

    I think we’re all glad Steph didn’t win…. although its weird to remember how much we all liked her when she was an “underdog”!

    Now we just need an Amazing Race finale recap…

    I think the big problem with Steph this time around is that she had such a sense of entitlement. From the start, she wasn’t simply worried that she’d be voted out early, she was incensed that anyone would dare consider voting her out. Her attitude was that of the show and other players owed her something. Even Bobby Jon picked Danni over her (presumably, since we only saw the 1 vote from Rafe for Steph) so it wasn’t just the sour grapes people like Judd who didn’t want her to win.

    if you look at all the Survivor final shows, all of the women are over made up.
    CBS needs to get new make artist.

    Ya Danni, glad she won. Knew she would when she didn’t get voted out when Lydia did.

    “hottest final 2 EVER.”

    i just kept thinking about the scene in starsky & hutch after stiller passes out & owen wilson has the 2 girls on the couch.
    “maybe you 2 want to kiss?”

    hotter then a sam the butcher meat reference.

    Glad you commented on Rafe’s look. I found it odd that most people come back from Survivor all cleaned up – but Rafe decided to keep the scruffy look.

    Thanks for the photo recap – we do so love our photos here at TvGasm!

    Bobby Jon looked hot! I can’t believe there will be a Survivor next season without him. I will miss him so.
    juddfan, I think you’re out of luck with playgirl-they wouldn’t publish an issue only you would buy.
    I agree with whoever said Steph’s sense of entitlement was outrageous. I was hoping Bobby Jon would ask her why she thinks she is more deserving than him to be in the final 2 since she wasn’t and he didn’t have anybody shifting the game in his favor like she did. I will be looking forward to a Stephenie-free season.

    What was the story with Danni and her lips? The way she kept sliding her tongue over her teeth was down right disturbing.

    This was the first season Australia was almost up to date with the US. Nice change.

    Those lips HAVE to be injected with collagen. They were no where near as big in the jungle. I thought Danni and Steph looked much better sans makeup. They looked like cheap whores at the reunion.

    Who won the Gasm Survivor pool?

    hey, dick–i mean, sean (#20):

    if you watched the show, you might recall that, more than once, danni described herself as a FARMGIRL or made comments to the effect that she GREW UP ON A FARM/IN FARMLAND. she is from tonganoxie, kansas–pop. 3,597, home of the leavenworth county fair. you may also recall that she, gary, brandon, and bobby jon all HELD HANDS TO PRAY AND THANK JESUS BEFORE THEY ATE CORN MUSH.

    everyone from the midwest may not be a bible-thumper, but, apparently, DANNI IS. and what does that mean? most people would agree that VOCAL, PROFESSED CHRISTIANS FROM WHOLESOME RURAL COMMUNITIES generally tend to be more reluctant to TAKE THEIR CLOTHES OFF FOR MONEY.

    not everyone from the midwest is an idiot, either, but that doesn’t mean you’re not.

    Steph is so totally Jersey, and whats worse, she’s from Toms River, which clearly makes sense. Green eye shadow and 80s permed hair are staple in that area. This is one of the white trash epicenters in South Jersey.

    I think Dani had some collagen injected into those lips, but nonetheless looked H-O-T! Glad Steph lost too, but wasn’t it obvious?

    I think we need to define “Bible-Thumper” to make this accusation true.

    Being from the midwest, growing up on a farm and owning a Bible does not make me a Bible-Thumper. I know who the over-zealous ones are in my town. Believing in God and praying before a meal does not make one a Bible-Thumper. It is the ones who talk of nothing else; ask everyone around them if they believe in God; banishing them to Hell if they don’t; believe themselves to be higher and mightier than anyone around them; believe they are entitled not only to the Kingdom of Heaven but just about everything on earth as well; they smile at your face but condemn you behind your back; they have no problems telling someone they disagree with that they will burn in hell for eternity; you will find them at church on Sunday morning, Sunday evening, Wednesday evening and whatever other day during the week they have either choir or a committee meeting or a second day of Bible study; etc. Chiefs game day is not a Bible-Thumpers hang-out — the only reason a Bible-Thumper would be there on a Sunday is to pray for the masses — not partake in a heathen ceremony full of drunks. Christian and Bible-Thumper are NOT the same thing.

    Danni does not fit my definition of a small-town, Midwestern Bible Thumper.

    Jack makes a compelling argument. But I’m not so sure, I’d agree that “most people would agree that VOCAL, PROFESSED CHRISTIANS FROM WHOLESOME RURAL COMMUNITIES generally tend to be more reluctant to TAKE THEIR CLOTHES OFF FOR MONEY.”

    I dunno, but I’m guessing loads of playmates might fit exactly that profile.

    That said, I agree that Danni posing for Maxim seems more likely, but more on account of her pre-Survivor accomplishments, and recent $1,000,000 payday.

    See that, Victoria! You called me out again, but are you sure Playgirl wouldn’t consider . . . they ran pictures of Josh from BB (#?)

    thanks for the laugh!!!!

    What about CBS, think they’ll ever release a “Survivor for adults”DVD with all that footage they’ve blocked out over these seasons . . . I can’t imagine they aren’t free to release whatever they filmed, or is this wishful thinking again.
