I like Denise a lot too, particularly for her attitude. In the first ep I think she said something like "whether I belive in god or not, I'm pretty sure he's not going to reach down and win these challenges for us. Instead I will try harder" or some such. [Not that that's really working out so well.] And "There's three of us. My alliance may or may not hold but it's not some grand betrayal if it doesn't." I just wish I thought she was going to get far enough to expose more than like three people to this radical thinking.
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Yeah, she seems to actually understand that it's a game and have a wise attitude about it. I also love how she goes so all-in in challenges. Kick-ass older woman FTW.

TAR: Two annoying chicks gone.
Still liking the N&N Team Sri Lanka. Also they don't complain when native people don't speak English.

Omg yes. I was like "seriously? How many seasons into this and you're bitching they don't speak English??"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
"This guy from whatever country we are in didn't even speak English!!"
Seriously, though.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, the whole shrill shrieking at nationals in English thing is not improving our American tourism image.

Whoa, I just learned that Blair from Facts of Life is on Survivor, and apparently nobody recognizes her? I feel like in learning this now, I am letting down the reality tv world. I should have heard earlier!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
One of the "old" players recognized her, but hasn't outed her yet.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Yeah, Michael Skupin From Survivor "Africa" recognized her.
She seems easily recognizable to me. But I used to watch the "Facts of Life."
Makes me wonder how many would recognize Danny Bonnaduce.
