Do you think the "clingy routine" was real or Showtime, to set herself up for the boot? Just asking. Because Sugar played a smart, insightful game the first time around (IMHO). She got a strong male to cover for her, then orchestrated his boot. And, as you say, she spent a lot of time lying around, eating fruit at the "Sugar Shack". Then, she went to the end. She helped Bob win it.

I wonder if she got out there, sized up the competition, and thought it would be better to leave early, as opposed to later. I thought she nearly skipped out of the TC. Her statement at the end was something like "It will feel great to get some clothes on" - no tears there.

Seemed she was in no way upset to be the first boot. Vacation, yay!

There you go, you understand why I think they made a terrible mistake in casting her for this. She went in Gabon only to help her failing acting carreer and outwitted only for the drama value of the boot, not because it made game sense. That spoiled brat doesn't belong on Survivor, maybe Big Brother but not here.

And even in Gabon, what we saw was Asspartame, not real the real Sugar. People said she was annoying everyone, taking their stuff to use for herself and talking non-stop. The editors turned her into a sweetheart but it was all fake, more "sweet n' Low" than anything refined.

Good riddance, maybe this season we'll have a story that makes sense and a game that plays out with everyone trying to make their best move unlike that crappy season 18.

I myself am a little bummed because my favorite two females are the first two booted. Not liking the rank order of the Heroes tribe. I find both James and Ruppert annoying.

Not a fan of Cirie but she is one heck of a player. I think Tom's quote about getting rid of Cirie while they had the chance will become important. Cirie is a smart player who for some reason people are not threatened by her. She is a very logical first boot as she made it to the end each time she played by being very conning...yet she sucks at challenges and does little around camp.

Sugar from Gabon? I set out to hate her and ended up loving her.

Sugar from Heroes vs. Villains? I set out to love her and ended up disappointed in her. Maybe she wanted to be the first boot (she wouldn't be the first Survivor or Hamster wanting to go out early) but her game seemed desperate and weak. It smarts of a Pro Bowl quarterback deliberately throwing an interception on third-and-10 at his own 20 just to get out of the game, get sent to the showers, and go hit the clubs.

You guys all seem to forget that Sugar came very close to being the first voted out of Kota also. It isn't a coincidence. Had Paloma been just a little bit stronger or more convincing, Sugar was gone. She was always a terribly weak player that was tremendously helped by all the tribe shuffles in Gabon. Insider clips also told us she annoyed everyone in Gabon just like Colby said she did.

Editing, smoke and mirrors and a somewhat cute face, that was Sugar's whole schtick.

Did any of you watch the videos that each contestant posted on cbs.com? Sugar says in her video that her and JT were a couple (dating). She said that JT and herself were going to hide this alliance the best they could.

Oddly when watching the show nothing came across to indicate that Sugar and JT were dating. In fact Sugar was hitting on Colby and JT was more than happy to vote out Sugar. In fact the following episode Jt said Sugar being the first boot was a no brainer.

Oddly, also when Realitytvworld did their exit interview with Sugar she never mentioned that she was dating JT….but did seem to hide what she thought caused her to be voted out. Could it be that somewhere between the time Sugar did her video interview she and JT broke up? I do believe Sugar’s interview was shot on the island…but will have to watch it again. Maybe after breaking up Sugar was then playing the game to make JT jealous…….by hitting on Colby and basically talking too much? Either they broke up just before the game began or Sugar was delusional.

I saw that video and it seemed to me that Sweet n' Low had the hots for JT, wanted to be with him, not that they were a couple. Maybe they hit it off one night at a survivor party but that JT didn't have the same definition of dating.

And, if her game was to make JT jealous than she's dumber than I thought.

If that was the case, you think we'd see the two of them talking as they were on the same team....I am not sure they even spoke to each other. To me in Sugar's website she hints that there is a mystery reason as to why she got voted off....my guess is she blames JT. I really think the whole Colby thing was her idea to make JT jealous.
