Rebuttal to the ridiculous bias against Corinne and Randy on Warrior's Post:

1. You're not going to comment on how Corinne and Charlie defended Marcus? ( Even if you disagree with Corinne's "deserving" comment, she felt obvious friendship/loyalty towards Marcus. )

2. JP stated in his EW blog that Randy was absolutely correct in his strategy for winning the challenge. Randy was angry after Fang's win because Matty had been so determined to do things his way, he completely blew Randy off during the challenge.

3. Followed immediately by a smiling Corinne saying "…Like, you felt like a human being again. It was nice. It was really nice." I guess you thought the second half of her comment detracted from the Queen Bitch character you're crafting.

4. Wow, you're really determined to hate her. She can't even play with children without you criticizing her. Even if Corinne didn't like children, that wouldn't make her a bad person.

5. That's an absolutely integral part of playing Survivor! No, you might not like someone, but you pretend to because that's the game and you want to live to play another day. How can you fault Corinne for not liking all 17 of the strangers she's being made to play with? Hell, I'm impressed that she's managed to put on such great masks with them considering her very frank way of speaking. Are you telling me you don't have people in your everyday life ( coworkers, family, etc. ) who you don't really like, but you play up to because you kind of have to?

6. Have you listened to Sugar? I know it can be hard to understand her through all the crying and "aren't I adorable" expressions, but the only move Sugar has made in Gabon is to act on the lie Ken told her and stab Ace in the back, smiling all the way. If Corinne had done that ( and it should be noted that she never gave the slightest indication of wanting to betray an ally ) you would have eviscerated her. Yet Sugar slides.

7. How can you possibly lay the blame for this at Randy's feet? Crystal belligerently berated him at TC ( nothing out of character for Crystal ) and he answered her attacks. You act as though Randy initiated this confrontation and Crystal "gave him a little attitude" in return.

8. Crystal had one angry outburst at TC, how are she and Corinne both receiving a MORN - particularly when it's clear that the editors were trying to make Corinne more relatable at the reward. I gave Corinne CPM and Crystal UNRN.

9. How do you give Sugar a P? Being an important swingvote does not equate to having a positive edit. Blake has been expounding this idea for several days now.

No, nor Kenny's response...not that important to the story...I can't capture everything.

Sorry theskifoff, but that's what I saw.

The Editors ruined a nice positive segment for her by editing in "I'd be the LAST person that would chum up to a 2 year old."
It's about editors intent and I don't hate her...the editors do LOL

That's correct "Sweet Sugar" is getting the adorable expressions. THAT'S EDITOR INTENT to make her character POSITVIE.

Randy's edit was all about hating
