She was waaay snarkier in China, to the point where a lot of people didn't like her (or didn't get her sense of humor). I thought she was hysterical and was disappointed she didn't have a chance to comment on more people this season.

BR, if you ever find the time to watch China, I'm pretty sure you'll like it.

Courtney was hilarious. She never pretended that she was a strong player but she enjoyed making fun of those that thought they were. If you liked her imitation of Russell, you'd love her "Jean Robert".

She knew Courtney was going home so she just voted with the group to appear as part of the group. Then when the merge happens..next week she is not seen as a sure flopper. Actually she did a good job of appearing less likely to flop then Courtney. Sandra has been playing brilliantly.

And the way she got on Shane's nerves during that season, she really WAS a bit entertaining.

Interesting that you can picture her arguing with Shame, even though they've never played together.
Two different Courtney's. Shane was on Panama (with Courtney Marit), this Courtney was on China (No Shane's in China).

I do agree that this season is very crazy and that's sure to get amped up with the revelation of two idols and a merge on the horizon.

Oh and those who go to Loser Lodge are "usually" sent on mini-vacations, versus those who go to Ponderosa who are stuck on the jury, and forced to come back every three days. So it's highly doubtful Coach and Courtney have a chance to "talk it up" with Rob or any other previously booted survivor.

I love it! How times have changed when someone thinks Jerri is one of the nicest people ;)

This has been a true flip floppy season. Courtney was a threat in that people might prefer to vote for her over Russell; and as others have said, Sandra voted against her to save her own hide. Not a bad strategy!

Not that I have an opinion one way or another ;)

I don't get the whole Courtney thing.

We all know people like her. They don't actively participate because they are lazy or because they are above trying. So, instead, they just sit there and rip everyone who actually tries.

I my opinion people like that SUCK. peace/out

Courtney didn't ask to participate on Survivor. Someone liked her personality and asked her to go on the show. She knew this wasn't her element but she decided to go anyway. Many shy away.

When she got there, her goal was to avoid being the first one voted out. Her comment about that first challenge at FTC were quite telling: "I thought: This thing weighs fifty pounds...I'm going to die...". She didn't. She carried that "thing" and stayed up there, right behind James, keeping the pace so her team could win. After that, she realized that Todd was in charge. Not Aaron, not James, not Jean RoBear or even Amanda. She saw that Todd was the one to follow and it got her to F3. I call that participating, I call that trying. What did you want her to do? Challenge James to a weightlifting contest?

In Survivor as in the real world we need people who can sit back and tell us that our actions are stupid. The witty way she expresses her opinion is truly enjoyable.

Yeah, the world needs more Courtney's like we need more bombs.

Bombs?

See...right there... Her snarky wit is funny and entertaining, she could have said what you said but she would have made it entertaining, smarter.

She has the touch say essentially what you said, except in an entertaing way.

Well, of course, it takes a lot of wit to not participate in an activity and just criticize everyone who does. Those people are hilarious.
I, on the other hand, as prior posts would show, have never said anything witty. That's because Courtney is so much smarter than me.

I'm not sure about you never saying anything witty, but I know from your posts here, and on the Love/Loathe thread, we are not watching the same show.

And a comment that you made on an earlier post deserves a response.

We all know people like her. They don't actively participate because they are lazy or because they are above trying. So, instead, they just sit there and rip everyone who actually tries.

Let's see, Courtney has participated on Survivor twice ... just how many times have you participated? And isn't what you are doing "ripping her"?

To be fair, you can't participate if you aren't cast. 300 out of 300 million have participated so the odds aren't good.

Courtney herself says that what she does best is being a lazy b*tch. She is an acquired taste!

We are watching the same show... I imagine the origin of our different opinions lie elsewhere.

If you are reading the Love/Loathe list, I encourage you to post there. Not many of us are left.

I really like Courtney, she is one of my all time faves. I loved her snarkiness in China, and was looking forward to seeing much more of it in H v. V. Unfortunately I had to wait until Ponderosa clips to see much of her.

Courtney strikes me as a person who is comfortable in her own skin, and doesn't really care what others think of her. And when others have something to say about her, they are really revealing their personality - not hers.

At least in Courtney we have maybe the best guess so far to the old oft asked but never satisfactorily answered question, "What is lighter than Janu?"

At least it's a better answer that my "Helium filled tied balloon animals", because, skinny as they are, balloons do have three dimensions, whereas with both Janu and Courtney the jury is still on that.
