Estee 57126 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-24-05, 07:37 AM (EST) "Dear Mr. Savage," LAST EDITED ON 03-24-05 AT 08:17 AM (EST) I'm sorry. I know what we did. We all said you were the leader on the Worst Tribe Ever. We mocked you. Did we ever mock you. We mocked your fumbling attempts at direction, and your pathetic efforts to fish, and the whole 'Andrew, Lawyer Of The Jungle' thing you had going on, and I think we may have even said something about your dubious ability to guard footwear. And we did it because -- well, partially because you were on Survivor and we'd do it to anyone who went on there, including one of our own, but mostly because you were on the Worst Tribe Ever and you deserved it. I'd like to take some of it back now. Don't get me wrong. You're still a DAW and you always will be. We're always going to bash you into the ground, especially after you show up at the reunion specials wearing your 'Hi, I'm A Hot Jungle Lawyer' badge. But -- and I hope you realize what a hard admission this is for me -- you were not the leader on the Worst Tribe Ever. You were the leader on a Pretty Bad Tribe. Yes, as a tribe, you sucked, and you will always suck, but you didn't svcking svck, and that's where Ulong is now. You see, you led. You always tried. I can't remember a challenge or a day of island life where Morgan wasn't making some kind of effort, and a lot of that was because you were marshalling their efforts in one direction: survival. Some of them were pretty pathetic and doomed attempts, yes, but -- I remember that load-bearing challenge. I remember your standing there, legs shaking under hundreds of pounds, refusing to give up. Standing for your tribe, as literally as anyone ever did in this game. No matter how bad things looked, you never gave up, and you never let anyone surrender -- excepting the Human Adjective, which no one could have done anything about. Admittedly, you may have won one pretty much by default, but you were almost always in the fight. Look at Ulong. Who leads there? It's the Incompetence Of The Moment, usually chosen by everyone else taking a carefully-measured step backwards. Look at what happened in the Home Depot challenge. They couldn't commit to a leader because they were afraid of the twists that might come if they chose someone. Afraid! You faced down your twists, you fought to keep your group in one piece. You would have stood up in the canoe and declared yourself leader, let Jeff do what he could. Of course, you would have immediately fallen into the water, because you're a Morgan and you still suck, but you would have claimed the moment. And speaking of claiming -- you also claimed some fireside seats. You managed to fight well enough to keep some members of your tribe around to reach the jury. More than one, which seems to be where Ulong is heading now. One once-and-again member of your tribe even made it all the way to the Final Two, and even if it took the dumbest twist in series history to give her the chance -- there she was! At the very end, a Morgan had a shot to win this thing! I think we all realize that's not going to happen for Ulong. Ever. You did stupid things, and you made us stare in raw shock at your raw ignorance, and groan about your total lack of food gathering ability, and wonder if Morgan could ever pull together around the center. But there was a center, and you tried to hold them together as best you could. Those, sir, are the differences between a Pretty Bad Tribe and the Worst Tribe Ever. Effort and caring. You gave both. Ulong is not fit to lick your stolen boots. You were not the leader on the Worst Tribe Ever. I'm taking the title back now. I'm not sorry for having originally given it out -- it made a lot of sense at the time -- but it no longer stands. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Sincerely, Estee and the undersigned.   Top

Angelfood 2114 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Roller Coaster Inaugurator" 03-24-05, 08:40 AM (EST) 3. "RE: Dear Mr. Savage," Wow. That was a great assessment! See, I never picked on Andrew, cuz he's a HOT, Jungle Lawyer (thanks for reminding me). But also, it was just bad luck or casting to have a whole tribe of non-leaders. and yes, they deserved bashing, and yes, Ulong even moreso. If Andrew had been on Drake, he would've fared better. And he did try. He gave it his all, with muscles straining and legs trembling and *swoon* The only one to do so on Ulong is Stephenie. Can we give her a free pass out of Ulong?   Top
