"She's a North Carolina girl, Jeff." *

Stick 'em, Heels.

What one young male contestant told Jeff in Survivor now, when Jane refused to drop her bit in the challenge, after she'd already won the female immunity prize up for dibs tonight.

What if I want to beat them too? she asked, after Jeff told her she'd won the woman's prize, and could drop hers. Go for it, he replied, drawing the titled comment from the younger guy (also from NC, I think.)

God, I love competitive games and the good people who play them! Strong lady...

ADDED:
Regardless of how the vote turns out, I think this is Smart Lady showcase on Survivor tonight, now that the teams have merged...

And, Shut Up Already Marty!
"Whoah, whoah, whoah... I approached y'all and you fluffed me off
!" Heh.

And not knowing North Carolina v. South Carolina... I hope he just sealed his own fate with that strategic error.

"Let the best argument win."

And they send the smart girl home, presumably because the dumbest young guy (as they're editing him) was afraid to make a bold move. So Marty survives, and Jane -- the strong woman -- shakes her head.

The sooner we get this idea out of our head that, naturally, we have to be led by the grey-haired, constipated-looking guys, the sooner everyone's situation improves, I think... (Too many just playing the part, but without having earned the underlying wisdom qualifications, it seems. But good luck convincing them of that.)
