Update from Denise: She still hasn't dealt with her ruptured implants, and she hasn't yet decided whether she'll do replacement or just removal. But she wasn't concerned about them during the show. Apparently, she'd had surgeries for multiple hernias in the past, and the harness for the bridge jump also went over that area. So she thought she might have re-injured herself there. (She kinda did, but just some swelling that went down soon after her departure and nothing requiring additional surgeries.) And that was her main health concern; the possibility of the weight of the packs and all the activity re-aggravating her hernias. That information makes the lead-up to her forced withdrawal make more sense. Her not being able to move that fast, the pack seemingly more cumbersome for her than others, and her inability to rock back and forth on her back; all results of her back being stressed by swelling around prior hernia surgery sites.

This Just In: New, Cancelled, Returning, And On-Hiatus Shows News

The pictured article has an implied "/s" at the end. -
Now that it's aired, we can infer the meaning. I would imagine that the sudden stop at the end of the jump safely distributed the energy through the harness as it should have, but the impact of said harness on her body at that moment jostled her in such a manner that caused the implants to pop. I would also assume that the implants were not new and may have already been weakened by age. So while this may have been the cause of the pop, they were likely to do so anyway.

Quotable Quotes: Lines from TV You've Made Your Own
SVNBob replied to ABay's topic in Everything Else TV
This time of year, I try to use this quote from one of the Doctor Who Christmas episodes. Technically it's part of a villain speech, but I cut it off before it devolves into that. -
Except for the two released by Mattel back around 2001.

If so, that would bring two of the big 3 Henson properties back under the same roof. And, timely enough, bring us one step closer to a re-release of "A Muppet Family Christmas." -
From the live thread: Three reasons. #1: Seeing as it was expiring at that TC, yes. It was either use it or lose it. #2: They expected her to. It was the "last card" she had, and they knew she'd go out swinging. But the Italian Alliance had accounted for it. They'd "secretly" pulled in Teeny to be sure they had the needed 4 to ensure majority no matter what Rachel did. #3: The bluff factor. Again, she had to play the part they expected and go out swinging with the "last" thing she had to use. So I'm sure that she'd said before/during TC that she would/had played her block-a-vote. It's just that those discussions were less relevant to the events of TC than her THs about her using her idol. There's one way that she could have made that play a little sweeter though. Rachel could have blocked Sue's vote. Then Rachel's would have been the only valid vote and it would have been her decision alone to remove Andy.

I think they knew she was gay. She was out about that. She kept her military experience in the closet instead. (Or would that be a foot locker?)

First, they wouldn't have shown the results like that. Therron's third vote would have been revealed earlier in the three-way ties, before the lead-up to the final tie. Second, and this is just a guess... then Therron would have cast a final vote. (Meaning the final results would have been the same.)
