LAST EDITED ON 12-12-15 AT 11:23 PM (EST)P.S. What did you make of Jeremy's comment asking if Abi is a Scorpio??? I immediately thought of you when he said it and thought it was hilarious. On his twitter he says his wife and daughter are both Scorpios.
After thinking about it a little more, though, I found it a little off-putting for J's edit, mainly because he was dis'ing his family….and then his "that's why I drink" and dating comments that followed seemed non-hero-like vs. Jeremy's typical pro-family and winner edit. But I'm probably overanalyzing it!
Of course, I always love it when players refer to their own or a tribemate's Sun Sign. And I think that even most Scorpio would admit that their personality is ... complicated. So, for a definitely uncomplicated Aries, life with two Scorpio in the house would be fascinating and challenging.
And, in fact, Jeremy wasn't far wrong about Abi-Maria. Her birthday is October 21st. So, although she is a Libra, she was born within the Libra | Scorpio Cusp. And it would seem that a number of Astrologers attach a great deal of significance to that circumstance. Some to the degree that they seem to suggest that persons born within Cusps exhibit a - third - core personality that is distinct from either of the two contributing Sun Signs.
All of that is, however, far too involved and confusing for me. So ...
I also thought that the whole Confessional was hilarious. And refreshingly candid.
And very humanizing.
Because, to that point, Jeremy (and, by extension, his family) had, I think, seemed to be almost too perfect. Now I think that we feel we know a man and a family more like our own not-always-heroic or saintly husbands and wives and daughters and sons.
In short, for the first time I really liked a suddenly personable and engaging Jeremy. And, had I not watched the San Juan del Sur Season, I think that I would have been persuaded to like - or, at least, to be intrigued by - Valesay. However, she is one of the very few Scorpio women who've played the Game that I do not admire.
But, I don't know if my reaction - or your own - is the one that the edit was intended to evoke. If I were betting, though, I would probably put my money on yours. I have a bad habit of being on the wrong side of the editorial tracks most of the time.
Note: I read a bit of Jeremy's Twitter today and was amused to see that not only Kass but Francesca - one of my very favorite Scorpio players - took him to task. Fun ...
