Please don't ever mention the word Vecepia again. We're having a friendly conversation here and there's no reason to stoop to that level. Thanks for ruining my weekend, I had completely forgotten she ever existed until you brought it up.
heh. ok. forget i said it.

As far Sandra, I can't argue with you on her coat tail riding, but she didn't do anymore coattail riding than Tom or some other winners. Also, what has she done this season to make you say she is a bad player? She hitched up with Rob early on, that seems like a wise decision. She knows Russel is up to no good and had him figured out early on. So she's perceptive about people which is a HUGE part of the game.
yeah, i mean...there are a lot of perceptive people though. she plays up this role of being something she's not it seems...maybe it's just me personally, but i don't see anything from sandra. she doesn't do any work and just goes along with what the majority says...kind of what she did last time, too.

As for Jerri, a good physical game and being good in challenges doesn't mean much. Case in point, you just said James was a bad player and he is as good in the physical portioon of the game as anyone who's ever played it. Jerri is terrible at the social part of the game, always has been, always will. Her first season she was an idiot.
ok granted. the black widow shit is bad. bad bad. i mean, badder than tournament bad. she didn't do jack shit to earn that title. but there's a difference between her and james.
james is a loud mouth. he's thrown down when it's not necessary. he needs to keep his mouth shut at times when he pipes in and makes himself the center of attention. he's lucky that steph was the victim because he easily could have been if tom had more hand than he did.
you're right that tom rode some coat tails, but IIRC tom won some individual immunities in the end that got him to the end...i'm too lazy and buzzed to look it up so if i'm wrong i'll admit it. but i think tom did a decent job to get himself to the end.

Her second season she mailed it in.
i dunno...that season, you could mail it in, she wasn't the only one guilty of that. but i'll agree that she was terrible in that season. again, i'm speaking more of this season. i think she's done a decent job and has played more to her strengths here.

And this season she hitched up to Coach, one of the dumbest people in the history of the game. Don't see how she can be called even an adequate player, let alone a good player. She has definitely mellowed in terms of her personality and I'll give her credit for that, she is no longer hated and annoying.
she has hitched up with someone she thought had a power play...i think she'll get wise to who she needs to align with. and i think she could be pivotal between russell and rob.
look, this is just me personally--but you're right, she is mellowed and whatnot. but i think it's unfair to say that she's not even adequate. i think she's just above mediocre because she does contribute and she does do a little shadowing and whatnot.
look i want to hate her a little more than i do. i never liked her. but i think she's good, or at least, i think she has potential to be good.
if i'm wrong, i'll certainly admit it. maybe i'm just projecting too much.
