S33: Lucy Huang

[Michel]

Hi.  I'm deluded enough to think I can play Jeremy's winning game.

I think she'll do decently if she can contribute well to challenges, as well as have a good alliance.  But I can't see her having a good head for the game.

Pre-game interview with Gordon Holmes:

When she talks about the younger generation getting distracted while driving and getting themselves lost-I think that's why GPS was invented.  I don't let myself get distracted with electronics while driving, and I'd still get myself lost without it.

Another one that brings up the 'everyone getting a trophy' mentality.  And one that's doing it for the moms out there.  On the fence with how she'll do.  Seems nice, but boring.

From the Holmes interview:

Quote

Holmes: How well do you deal with being lied to?
Huang: If it’s a strategy I can respect…it wouldn’t be so bad. I know this is a game and I have to deal with it.

Something tells me she isn't going to respect anything about being lied to.

Pre-game interview with Josh Wigler:

So she thinks the twist might be another tribes based on ethnicity theme, which is kind of a sad commentary on the lack of diversity on Survivor (though this season is quite diverse atleast among the females anyway).

 I see a couple of Asians, and I’m not used to that. Usually there’s the one token Asian, and I’m surprised that there are two of us — so far, cause I haven’t seen anybody yet. But I’ve wondered if this is a race thing, an ethnicity thing?

[KimberStormer]

They showed her face and reactions a lot at tribal, but did she speak at all this whole episode?  I am interested in the edit there.

[LadyChatts]

I'm interested in the edit as a whole for team GenX.  I hope they can spare more than 2 seconds away from the millennals next week, and show us more dynamics here (instead of just shelter building and David's fear of anything and everything).  To answer your question, Kimber, no, I don't remember seeing anything of her at camp.  I didn't even know where she came from at TC.

[Michel]

Out of twenty people, I think she was the only one not to have even one confessional last night.  Wonder what the deal was with that?

[AuntieDiane6]

She looks a lot older than a Gen X'er too ... She reminds me of the elderly mother at the local Chinese restaurant who's watching the kids while the daughter cooks.  Given that she doesn't say a word -- even when she voted last week -- means she'll get to the end because she's not a threat.

[LanceM]

This is Lucy. Believe it or not she is actually on this season.

 

[LadyChatts]

Last week one of the CBS interns mistakenly identified Mari as Rachel in press photos.  Rachel was voted off first, now Mari.  If Lucy is accidentally identified as Mari, she's screwed next week.

[KimberStormer]

Poor Purple Lucy, I wish she'd get some screen time.

[NutMeg]

She got half a second or so this episode. I know because the person I was watching with said something about a Lucy, I said "who is Lucy?", and bang there she was on a big part of the screen. Luckily I wasn't blinking or I'd have missed her.

[LanceM]

Well it looks like Lucy met one of her goals though I doubt she thought she'd accomplish after day 6.

From her parade interview linked above:

 "Us Asians, we grow up pretty competitive. That’s the way I grew up. Right now, I’m like, “No, you’re not going to be the last Asian standing. It’s going to be me!”

[JudyObscure]

I hope she stays under the radar until the merge.  Her style of game play is refreshing with most of this bunch being so obvious right out of the box.

1 hour ago, LanceM said:

“No, you’re not going to be the last Asian standing. It’s going to be me!”

haha, excellent!

Reminds me of past players who just wanted to make the jury, and just barely got their wish.

[LadyChatts]

Finally gets a speaking part 4 episodes in, and it is her undoing.  Maybe she needed to be like CeCe, who seems to be doing a good job of not doing anything, and having no real idea what's going on.  Much like Courtney said about Jean Roberte once "her name is always up there, but she never quite gets voted off."  I'm not sorry Lucy went, but dang, I thought for sure it was going to be misdirection.
