Survivor Stephanie

Okay, so I missed season one entirely.
That does in no way mark my record as a survivor fanatic.
I have diligently been there screaming, cheering and sometimes farting at survivor, its host and its stars.
Stephanie, has been one of my all time fav 'castaways'.
She embodied, for me, what it means to be a true competitor, regardless of what hung or didn't hang between her legs (as is stressed so often in the show).
She was just a true alhlete, a true player and a true threat in the game. She never gave up. She fought to the end and never lost her spirit, although her tribes seem incapable fo winning.
WAIT
at this point if you are thinking that survivor is fixed, contrived and ridiculous, i ask you to kindly fuck off and find another blog to read.
ANYWAY
She was one of the 'old survivors' that was asked to come back and compete in this season. She 'had' something. Something other people on the show didn't.
I 'loved' her.
Or felt as close as one can to that emotion when all your confronted with is an image on television.
Then, diligently, I sat down and watched tonights episode.
Steph's team lost the reward challenge.
It was a goodie too, it would have stung to lose.
Bobby John, who is another 'ask back' from a previous season and who is quite possibly one of the most annoying individuals of all time was on the tribe that achieved victory.
He was noticeably moved and excited, full on yelling and cheering.
Then, it cuts to poor Stephanie, who is crying, upset she is losing AGAIN. Expressing her desire to win and wishing she was on a team with individuals who shared her same spirit. Admittedly, she is not.
Then it cuts to her walking through the Guatemalan jungle with her tribe mates as they complain about losing.
She is bitching about Bobby John and the way he handles a victory.
She said......
"I dunno he just gets's so gay, like he wins and then he just acts so GAY."
GAY?
You mean like a giant cock flies out of the woods and he starts sucking it, or bending over and offering his ass to its mercy?
What does it mean to get so "gay".
What the fuck is GAY?
You can sum someone up with that word because it is so all encompassing?
You can call someone down with the use of the same word?
I used to *heart* you Stephanie, but now I see that you're just another stupid fucking heterosexual whose opinions are dictated by the media. In the same stretch my first opion of you was the same. I thought you were a strong, upstanding person, a competitive spirit.
But, you showed me the truth.
You're just another dumb fucking breeder who bases their opinions on fiction as opposed to fact, and too ignorant to look for anything that isn't grain fed to you.
So, Stephanie, fuck you, and I hope you lose!

harsh.
how old is this "stephanie?"

young people love to use the word"gay" to describe almost anything, usually in a negative way. like, i'm thinking high school kids, in particular.

and i don't know if i agree that it's the media telling us that it's ok to use "gay" as a descriptive word, unless, in fact, someone is gay. besides this survivor episode, when have you heard that on tv?

it's more of an ignorance thing. people that are ignorant say things are "gay" inappropriately.

i'm glad this "stephanie" lost. stupid dyke.

they use it in Scary Movie 2 as well. the REALLY funny chick (from May, Friends and Lost in Translation) and her "friend" are wondering through a haunted house alone and she says: "let's just be FRIENDS. Just friends. NOthing more..."
and he replies: "Um...that sounds...kinda gay."
When someone says that - i just roll my eyes and think:
"Ugh. They're such a GIRL."
HAHAHAHA
Nothing more insulting than that, right?
My manager erin (margarita's) used to say this to guys who couldn't lift something heavy, or were afraid of a mouse or something.
"You're such a girl."
So - she was equating weakness and fear with being "such a girl".
Nice eh?
The gay thing - i honestly don't get.
I know the intentions aren't bad behind the people who are saying it - but i think the conotations are homophobic - the root of it. it's describing negative things as being gay.
whatever. who cares? we used to say "no guff".
What the FUCK does that mean?
"Wife beater" shirt?
"Fag bags"?
or my favorite: "I was so embarassed - I felt like a QUAD."
OH - you mean someone with all four limbs? Wow - that MUST have been embarassing for you. I can't BELIEVE you had to endure feeling what it's like to be a "QUAD" because your boyfriend walked in on you while you were combing your pubic hair.
geesh.
same chick said that.
