"If you don't see Cirie as a great player by now, I don't expect to change your mind."I have always given Cirie her due as an opportunistic player which can be a valuable trait when casted with a bunch of morons and idiots. But Cirie advanced in her seasons because she was rightfully and appropriately known as a non-threat in challenges. Inept players who are not eliminated early on generally have a great shot at getting their golden tickets punched deeper into the game just for that reason. They're a dime a dozen on Survivor.
Cirie got ultimately eliminated from the game because her ineptness prevented her from winning when she had to. We do not know yet how (or if) Sabrina will be eliminated. This is why I generally do not make full comparisons between two players when one of them has NOT finished a season. But if Sabrina does get voted out because she is perceived as a threat (aka Anti-Darwin Syndrome) then whatever straws you have been grasping at to make this comparison will be gone.
"Not quite the comparison I was going for even if Crystal was a villain booting Jacque and Marcus and going after Marty."
For the life of me I can't remember Jacque??? As far as wanting Marcus and "Marty" (I think you meant to type Matty) out of the game...it's called Anti-Darwin Snydrome and if you coin every castaway employing this tactic as "villians" then the line is long with players to compare to Alicia. On a sidenote Alicia wanted to go after Christina more for personal reasons...it was Colton who employed the Anti-Darwin Syndrome against Monica.
"Chet, like Colton proved to be, was just a ball of goo. The two had pathetic reasons to leave the game. I'll bet you that, for a similar illness, Bruce suffered 10 times more and days longer than Colon did before requesting medical."
Bruce's toughness cannot be questioned. Aside from the condition which removed Bruce from the game, this guy also took a machete in the mouth the same season. After spitting out blood and a chip of his tooth, he continued playing.
If Bruce didn't have enough troubles, the poor guy had to listen to Courtney sing him some silly song while he was suffering hoping to make him feel better, whereas Colton had Christina stroking and petting him to make him feel better. THAT in itself would have made ME tough it out! But to the other extreme, I'm not sure I would label Colton a "wimp" for what he was going through.
"No, simpler than that: Both like to say "Snap!"
I honestly don't recall either on them saying that so I would have never guessed it. I'm sure I'll be taking more notice of Jonas saying that now.
"No one commented on the Kat/BB Jordan comparison which saddens me because it was the one that gave me the idea for this."
As far as scores on an IQ test, you're comparison doesn't come any closer. The reason I didn't comment on it is because I'm not sure how many posters on the Survivor Boards follow BB.
Jordan's advancement in her game was facilitated largely to her showmance partner being a physical threat and a challenge stud that season. He carried her throughout most of the season. But to Jordan's credit, after Jeff was Anti-Darwined out of the game, she come through winning the final and most important challenge giving her the power to select the perfect goat to sit next to in the Finals and win the season.
There's no question whatsoever Kat will be carried deep into the game (for the same reason Cirie was.) But the million dollar question is will Kat be able to win when she has to??? Once again, as I stated in my first comparison on this post, this is why I'll wait until AFTER the season to make full comparisons.
