I guess it's time for America to see Jerri with "full frontal" nudity. YUCK!

If you click on the link of the article it has a picture of the cover of the issue.

'Survivor' Jerri forms alliance with 'Playboy'

By César G. Soriano, USA TODAY

Playboy
"It was an artistic statement," Jerri Manthey explains.

She's back — and front. Full frontal, that is. Jerri Manthey, the boo-hiss villainess from Survivor: The Australian Outback, is the first contestant from the reality series to take it all off for Playboy. "It was an artistic statement," Manthey, 30, says by phone from Los Angeles. "I realized when I made my decision that it was a risk, (but) risks are what actors have to take." The aspiring actress doesn't want to be pigeonholed forever as Survivor's backstabber. She hopes her striptease will jump-start her career. After all, it worked for Pamela Anderson.

Aside from Survivor, Manthey's resume has been limited to community theater and a bit part on The Young and the Restless. She stars in an upcoming independent short film, Destiny. "It's like, wow, it's very intense."
And so is Playboy, she says.

"I'm very comfortable with my own body," says the curly-haired brunette.

Is she ever. Manthey appears in the September issue in a 10-page, full-nudity pictorial. She's also on the cover under the headline, "Survivor Jerri Nude."

There's Jerri, barely wearing a ripped, flesh-toned bikini. There's Jerri straddling a rock. There's Jerri doing a yoga pose on a piece of driftwood. Oh, look! There's Jerri doing Playboy's obligatory lying-in-the-sand-with-eyes-closed-mouth-open pose.

"The pictures are surreal and Dali-esque. I was completely comfortable," Manthey says. "I go to the desert a lot. It's free open space and people run around naked for days. That's the kind of person I am."

Though Manthey is the first Survivor to pose nude, she was not the first to get a Playboy offer. Jenna Lewis and now-actress Colleen Haskell from the original Survivor say they both rebuffed similar deals.

And Playboy was not the only magazine to compete for Jerri's, er, immunity idols. Among them was Stuff, which had to settle for a bikini pictorial with Jerri's Survivor puppet, Amber Brkich.

"Playboy was my first choice," Manthey says. "If I'm going to stand around half-dressed for those other men's magazines, I might as well be naked and at least have some control over it and get paid for it."

OK, show us the money. Was it six figures? Seven?

"Nope! I can't say! I signed a confidentiality agreement." She pauses for a second, then says, "Let's just say I'm looking for a house, and I'm just happy."

Today, Hugh Hefner will unveil the magazine in a Playboy Mansion bash. "It's like Jerri day at the Mansion!" she says with a hearty laugh.

As for Survivor, Manthey says she's "trying to put all that behind me." She doesn't even pal around with Amber anymore."I kind of lost touch with everyone." And she certainly doesn't want to discuss Survivor III.

"I choose not to discuss or talk about situations which I know nothing about. I'll leave that to other people who have nothing to do."

Hey, Tink. I just grabbed this off of Playboy's web site. There's a bigger version of this pic there without the cover graphics, but that's all the photos I could find of her there.

>As for Survivor, Manthey says she's
>"trying to put all that
>behind me."

heehee, Jerri said "behind".

>And she certainly doesn't want
>to discuss Survivor III.
>"I choose not to discuss or

>that to other people who
>have nothing to do."

Got to love Jerri, NOT!

I'm so glad I didn't have to start a new thresd for this bit of tripe. . .

Last night--and I can't remember if it was The Daily Show or later, with Craig Kilbourne (duh--had the teevee on behind me, and wasn't actually watching)--but someone was introduced as being the latest Playboy model. . . and it wasn't until I heard that CACKLE that I realized who it was!

Not surprisingly, her witchy laugh hasn't diminished as her main contribution to any interview--she did it endlessly (bad enough that I switched channels before the "interview" was over. . .) and had little else to contribute. She gloated over the fact that she was the ONLY one from S2 to be offered a Playboy gig (kind of glossed over previous offers as though they didn't count), she made them give in to her many demands for "complete control" of her pictorial, her photographer was an old guy who's worked there for 20-some years, and blah blah woof woof.

Does anyone really care? She's still as skanky and self-absorbed as ever. If I'd had the presence of mind, I would've looked to see if she was wearing blue and waving her nipples with the usual gusto--but alas, my stomach could take no more. I can say she still needs to buy a brush that can tame that awful perm, and would benefit from some serious personality makeover. But then--how would we be able to tell her from Lamber? At least this way we can hear her coming a mile away and get out of the way before someone gets hurt--retching that violently could cause serious toilet bowl head trauma!

Someone PLEASE tell me she's at about 14:58 on her Ho' meter. . . I'm already "see" sick!

GT

Well, GT, I guess someone had to do the dirty work to dig up a link for the pictures. I wonder why this guy went to all that trouble of scanning of them, and then cropped off a lot of the shots. I'm sure that you've seen enough already, though. It just bugs me when someone does a half-ass job. Now, on to the pics.

My semi-professional opinion on these, just from a photographic position, is that there's nothing special here. A first or second-year student could've pulled these off. Looks like only a two-light setup; a hard fill-in for the main light, and a kicker from the back to light up her hair. In fact, the main light is a bit overdone, giving it a somewhat postery, unnatural look.

Jerri, in my opinion, is not much of model, either. If I knew absolutely nothing about her, these wouldn't be very appealing. In fact, that one shot is down right scerri. The whole essence of a person comes through their eyes, and that one shot looks like she could burn through steel. Well, I guess it's hard to capture an appealing look without an appealing personality. Even though there's plenty of warm sunshine around her, these photos look cold and stiff to me.

GT....surely that link you put up to Jerri's pics have changed. I think you may want to take that down. There is a terribly disgusting picture in its place now. Hopefully you will see this soon.

My apologies: I deleted the original George Tirebiter post that went above boomerang's and Jizzy's posts to remove an inappropriate pornography link, which I presume was not GT's fault. Here is the text of the post, with the link edited out.

**********************************
Crap! Sad enough to have posted twice (I thought. . .) but to come back for more? Ack! Still, the thought that I stopped at hitting the Preview instead of Post Message button bugs me enough to try again (or was I edited into oblivion without warning? hmmmm)--usually, I have the opposite problem of posting before previewing!

Tink--your link sent me to an article about ancient bridesmaids' dresses. . . maybe it changes regularly. Spent a couple minutes googling for the real thing, and found all the pix.

Unfortunately, they did NOT use Lamber's make-up "artist"--you can still tell who this is. Also, I have to wonder why she went with the Zappa look for her nether region. . . seems pointless to leave a goatee this inconsequential!

The whole thing seems pointless, actually. . . I think we've pretty much seen all this before. All that's missing is the cackle--and if you concentrate just the littlest bit, you CAN hear it wafting around the dunes.

GT

lol, AK. The link GT had in her post originally led to a page with Jerri's "Playboy" stills that somebody had posted, but he subsequently changed the page to something that no one here would be interested in seeing. It wasn't GT's fault.

"If the race of man should be left naked upon a desert island, we should become extinct in six weeks. A few individuals might linger, but in a year would become worse than monkeys." (Samuel Butler, "Erewhon")

Thanks, Aya! And I thought it was sad that Tink's original link went kaput! . . . Egad!

The original link I found thru sirlinksalot.com, which claims to amass links to all the reality teevee crapola--never imagined the page would change in a matter of hours! Actually, I'd awakened with the idea that my orignal post may have been deleted because of the link (nekkid woman seemed less horrible than WHO the nekkid woman was. . .), and had resolved to swap it with a reference to where I'd gotten it--but two sleepy bird feedings later, I'd still forgotten to fire up the computer. . . Now that I'm finally awake, I was mortified to get word of what had happened during my disjointed slumber.

There's a lesson here, isn't there? Next time, DL and alter pix myself, then upload them here so they don't get swapped for something worse! I bet that guy is laughing his ass off today. . .

Here are some vidcaps from the Extra story.

Jizzy

Hey, this is my first post. I've been lurking around here for awhile but I finally had enough guts to post something. Anyhow, tomorrow, Jerri is going to be on the morning show of the radio station that I listen to. It's 102.1 FM in Toronto. They like to cut people up pretty good so it should be funny. That's it for now!

Later,

Gerbees

Glad to have you aboard our ship of fools. Hey, if you get a chance to listen to the show tomorrow, why not post some of the highlights?

boomer

...little saggy boobs!

Ice--while I can't really picture Groucho saying "boobs," I still think you need his waggling eyebrows for these naughty remarks. . . And you really ARE becoming quite the Ho'--look at your DAW total!

boomer--I was so distraught by the change in my link earlier, I totally neglected to comment on your astute assessment of the lack of photographic talent and lousy subject matter. You almost had me convinced you actually went there with the sole purpose of your critique! Glad I saved you the cost of an issue? Bleagh!

And poor Gerbees--what a bizarre thresd to choose to jump into as your first foray into SB insanity! Surely, if you've been lurking a while, you know you didn't catch us at our best here. . .

GT

Hey GT, I've been around for a bit to know that it isn't your best topic but it was the only place where my post really seemed to fit in. No worries!

Well, I listened to Jerri on the radio today and they were actually really nice to her. In fact, Dean, the host, was hitting on her the whole time! Nothing too exciting though. A couple of things she said:

-She's tired of defending herself and being embraced as a b*tch. She would prefer to be called 'powerful'
-Her fave shot from Playboy is the one of her laying on rocks because apparently she does this all of the time.
-She's very proud but wouldn't want her father to see the pics.
-She used to date the host of Fear Factor, Joe. (I missed the last name). She dumped him though because he cheated on her.

That was it, nothing too exciting and they didn't cut her up at all so a little disappointing.
