I do hope for Sai's sake she's not this insufferable in real life.  

This is one season I would hope for a cast reunion to see if she's still batshit crazy.  

Personally I’ve never thought of Sai as necessarily being “batshit crazy”* - more like she’s simply immature in that she has not yet realized the world and everyone/everything in it does not, in fact, revolve around her.  

 

* Although I have been wrong a time or two in the past - no, really!  😄

P.S. I acknowledge that both Chrissy and Cedrek suck. My issue is that people were accusing Cedrek of such things as "not having the mental acuity for the game" when a) there's not IMO evidence of that b) he's a surgeon so he has to have something going on upstairs and c) he actually did attempt to make some moves despite being stuck with a loser tribe.

I’ve yet to understand why anybody would think Cedrek’s (or anybody else’s for that matter) misunderstanding / mismanagement of social relationships would translate in any way to technical incompetence in his chosen profession - but sometimes the things people come up with are beyond me, so c’est la vie.  😁

Must have been the obvious sexual tension with Chrissy

I never understand players who get so upset about getting "stabbed in the back".  You all have alliances of more than three people and only three make it to the final.  I think David is just more upset that Joe stabbed him in the back before he was able to stab Joe.

That might be the most amazing exit interview I've ever seen. Wait, is "amazing" the word I want? No, I meant "delusional." Holy shit. Every answer is about how wrong everyone was not to listen to him and do what he said. And Dalton is encouraging that noise! wtf

 

[LadyChatts]

If David's girlfriend dumped him for not winning the show I'm not exactly sure that's the kind of person you'd want to have in your life.  But sounds like he met someone else that he's happy with so hopefully that's a healthier relationship dynamic.

All I can think is there are just so many other, better reasons to dump him.

Maybe she knew he would bomb at Survivor and found her excuse to get out without having to hurt his feelings too much.

[bunnyface]

Yeah, I'm thinking the money was just a convenient excuse.  Because there are a lot of valid reasons for dumping him.  Money is only one.  That interview is one also.

I was saying in the episode thread for the episode in which he said that his girlfriend would dump him if he doesn't win that they aren't compatible.  So it seems she dumped him within a month of learning he didn't win.  How did she know he didn't win?  I thought there were supposed to be confidentiality clauses and the contestants couldn't reveal any information at all about how they did on the show, even to family members.

Good riddance to her.  Sounds like he met somebody new, and it would have been before the show started airing so this new woman isn't picking him based on his TV fame.  Glad he is happy.

I’ve heard they can have people sign NDAs so they can talk about their experience with them.  Those people would be held to the same standards of confidentiality and could get on a lot of trouble if it was found out they told what happened.  I’m convinced that’s why some seasons are so spoiler heavy, though.  So that could be how she knew.

Similar to several others, I'm on the dislike train for David, but as a human being, no hate there.  I don't know the guy, that's one thing.  Plus, I'm in the mode of being okay if someone doesn't want to be with me or want me around.  If I'm in that position, that's good news.  No sense in wasting time in a polluted position.  Onto the next chapter.
