I just can not believe how much DRAMA is in this ASS show. It really seems that there are two "camps" of players. Those that really are there for the game and the money, and those there that are stirring the pot with all kinds of drama. For example, Colby really has been shown not getting along with the group that much....sleeps alone on the beach, does'nt play the little word games with the group, etc. But he's been keeping a low profile until now. But now he just seems to be making blatantly unwise choices. Perhaps on direction from Lex, he takes it upon himself to convince the other Mogo's that they should boot Dicque...thus setting himself up to look like "the boss"....then the comments at TC, regarding those that are coasting through, and then the previews with Shii-devil, telling her that she'll never have to lie the entire game, because she never has to make a decision....that is blatantly setting yourself up....could he sincerely be that stupid??? To me it looks as though he is just stirring the pot, creating drama, rather than really playing the game.

As for Sue, she just seems to capitalize on drama whereever she can find it....she is the ultimate drama queen. She got so much attention from her rats and snakes speech on S1, I think her entire reason for doing S8 was to call more attention to herself anyway she could, I don't think she intended to win the money at all. Now after making all the wrong choices, she'll have her rats and snakes melt down over the Dicquegate incident, so she's done...she'll quit, IMO, a serious loser.

I just want this game to be for the players, the drama mongers are pulling it down. Here's who I think are players vs. mongers?
Players: Kathy, Lex, Jenna L., Rob M., Rupert, Tom, Alicia, Amber, and even Ethan(has the most to overcome as a previous winner...to me, he is still desparately trying to play this game)
Drama Mongers: SUE-there to attract attention to herself only, Jerri-just there to try to change her image, and maybe to get some revenge, Colby-not as motivated as the first time, stirring the pot??, Shii-devil-so weak a player she's just happy to be included...not really there for the prize.

Edited to add that I do think that there is something to Varner's preS8 analysis, as he called this players vs. drama queens to the letter, IMO.
