After Denise's sob story, sickening OTTP edit, and fairy tale happy ending, I really want some blue collar assholes on the show again. We need more Susan types to make America hate the inferior class again.

Am I guilty of: Mullet = no Worthless job = no Stupid moves in a competition = no Plays sympathy card = no Is a fat dyke = no Hmm.. I don't think your logic is right. At least not for me. The person who just called a married woman "a fat dyke" tells me that MY logic isn't right? If you're the main representative of the anti-Denise movement, good luck with that.

I was never picked for teams growing up and I was a Courtney type stick, Denise body types were picked over me so that excuse by her didn't fly with me. I seriously got sick and fuckin' tired ever time she said that. As somebody else pointed out Bruce and Cindy lost their jobs playing Survivor, that's the chance you take playing it. Denise had every opportunity to shake things up but she was too scared to do it. I don't see why she should be rewarded for that.

Todd - $1,000,000 2. James - $100,000 + whatever stipend 7th gets 3. Denise - $110,000 4. Courtney - $100,000 5. Amanda - $85,000

Had Denise walked around saying (as others have over the years) "I don't want to be here", you probably would have raked her over the coals for NOT wanting anything from the game and taking someone else's spot. Instead, Denise actually wanted something from Survivor, thought that she actually didn't get enough from it in the form of reward or placement, and you STILL ream her ass simply for answering one of Probst's questions in the reunion and its ultimate result. The only unfair thing, sunflower, is that you would have bitched about Denise no matter what she said or did. In comparison to the 16 cars that were given to the S4 cast for simply showing up, the money given to Denise was peanuts. I'll admit that EPMB has done some mighty shitty things over the years, BUT THIS WASN'T ONE OF THEM. You want me to shame EPMB for doing something nice for somebody and their family so close to Christmas. HELL NO!!! I refuse to be that bad of a person, but you can do it if you choose so. Since when did Christmas change from "Peace on Earth Goodwill to Men" to "Kick People When They're Down and Piss All Over Someone Who Tries to Help Them Back Up"? Happy Holidays INDEED!!!!!

YAY a free trip to China and a campout in the jungle.

I think she was kind of telling it like it is. I found it very interesting that you used that specific terminology. When Courtney "tells it like it is", many people here claim it made this one of the best seasons ever. However, when Denise "tells it like it is", people here claim she is "playing the sympathy card". Thanks for needing only one sentence to put the two faced hypocrites on this board in their place, pumpkin37. Even JR was smart enough to know when to shut up, but, unfortunately, I doubt any of the anti-Denise people will. i am not a courtney fan, but she never claimed that she was owed anything out there. denise played a really bad game, didn't take someone who took her on a reward along when she won one, had a chance to at least get to the final 3 by forcing a tie but didn't, and then is upset she is going out 4th, because she said she had nothing else. i feel bad for denise's situation, but i do think a lot of the reason people don't feel sorry for her, is because she had a chance to sit in front of the jury and she screwed it up big time. so i think that comes into play with, why should she had the money when she had the chance to ensure she woudl be in the final 3 at least? I think she lost a lot of sympathy when she wouldn't eat the balut the second time. Then she just got more and more pathetic. Who wants to root for somebody that isn't even trying? If there was no 4th prize money I could see giving her the sympathy cash. At least she has a job, a husband and a place to live, unlike a lot of other moms out there. i ment bad in, that she had to take a different job then what she was doing before. i don't feel sorry for her though that she didn't get to the final 3, when she had many chances and squandered them. i also she kept trying to make a deal with amanda, at the immunity challenge. how was amanda going to ensure though that denise didn't get voted out, when todd/courtney where at least 2 other votes. Yeah, it is too bad that she didn't get her old job back since she seemed to like it and apparently has no interest in even trying to find a better job. I think begging Amanda for a deal was just lame, all the way around.

She and her glorious blurred ass where the reason that men like myself tuned in each week. Random thoughts on Denise: - yeah, yeah, yeah - everyone loves a good charity case. - we've all heard the 'but it was filmed during summer and she wasnt working anyway' - even if she was, what fucking job ANYWHERE can you take off 45 days or so - if you think about 39 days there, the travel, the prep meetings, the finale, etc - that would mean at LEAST 45 days off. Do any of you have jobs that would just let you leave for 45 days? I don't. So they come back from a FUCKING REALITY SHOW and they dont have a job. Tough shit. The jury wanted 'risk' - there's your 'risk' - you go on the show and you risk not having a job. - She had a 1 in 5 chance a $1M. How many other sob story people will ever come close to having that sort of chance in life. - The fact that her children are morbidly obese disgusts me. 'Honey, We're Killing The Kids'. Sorry, she doesnt get shit just for that. - She got the opportunity to plead her case for 4 months on national tv to an audience of millions. Someone in her community will reach out to her and give her a gig paying more. That WILL happen. 99.9% of other poor people don't get that luxury. - She got to experience Survivor, the Great Wall, 1500 year old temples, etc. In addition, she got to see the inner workings of television shows, hobnob with celebrities (Probst, etc) - pretty cool experiences eh? She got to experience the pinnacle of martial arts performance (her passion). What other poor people get to do that? - Her husband (and probably her kids) got to go on a mac daddy trip to visit her. Shanghai is a LONG ass flight. Probably flew first class. Stayed in nice hotels. Great meals. Probably got to see amazing things. 95% of Americans will never experience that. - What about her husband. How much is that a kick to the nuts when you are basically being told you are a dogshit provider - that you're wife has to scrub toilets to bring home horribly unhealthy food to keep your obese children obese. What's his deal? So, yeah, she went back to her shitty life, but I really don't feel all that bad for her. There are rich people, there are (mostly) middle of the road people, and there are poor people. That's life. And besides, we have no idea why she's in the lot in life that she's in. I some extended family members in similar situations and it's because they are simply lazy. Not saying she is, but not saying she isn't. I need to know more background before I can muster sympathy.
