PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."
Survivor 44 has had its share of big twists, big moves, and big personalities, but a moment of calm cooled the madness this week when Jaime Lynn Ruiz led the tribe in mediation, asking everyone to mull over what they appreciated in life. It was a pleasant change of pace in an otherwise frenzied and hectic game, and there was more to it than what we got to see on TV.
In an exclusive deleted — or, shall we say, extended — scene, we get to see more reflections from the cast, including Lauren Harpe talking about the lessons she's learned on the island and how they relate to her life as an independent parent back home.
"I'm getting to know that I need other people," says Lauren in the scene. "In my life as a single mom, I don't rely on other people. I feel like I was betrayed in my marriage, so from then I was like, I can do everything by myself — like, I can take care of my kids by myself financially. I can build this home. I can build this life for them."
But what Lauren has experienced on the island has given her a new perspective. "Here, I've realized that I can't do that. I see parallels in my life where I should have asked other people for help or I should have gotten things from other people, so I think with that, I've learned a lot about myself, that I need other people."
To see the extended meditation and Lauren's thoughts about her life both on and off the island, watch the scene for yourself at the top of the post.
Getting Lauren vibes, with "it's scaring me a little bit"....Carolyn and Jaime searching for idol. I kind of feel like Heidi knows that she's on the bottom is has the most motivation to win the IC so most likely could?
Jaime....last two weeks thought it would be her? Is she the goat?
