To skoffingskeptic, who didn't realize that there was another sceptic(A) here, that's okay. If you'd made a cursory examination of the first pages of the last umpty-umph edgic season threads you'd have seen my name as WD or whatever, but no biggee...

...I think most non-noobs here know the difference between your posts and mine based on content and quality, so I'm not bothered in the slightest by your name. [smile]
ScepticA - you
misunderstood me. A specific user addressed a vague "skeptic" in their post and I used that as an occasion to tell everyone they could call me
"scoffing", thereby easily differentiating you from myself. Furthermore, on my ignorance of your fame: "He reminds me of a guy that when you buy him for what he's worth and sell him for what he thinks he's worth, you make a million dollars." -B.B.
An OCD scene-by-scene analysis of Corinne Kaplan for episode 9:
n/p: Minor -1/+1
N/P: Major -2/+2
1. "…the yellow tribe, Kota, has been beating up on the red tribe, Fang…" -Jeff ( aggressive adjective = N, -2 )
2. "Oh God, I can't take it anymore! Open the bag! Put it down!" -Corinne to Matty ( aggressive/bitchy edit superfluous to the story = N, -4 )
"We got treemail this morning, but I was really hoping it was going to be merge. Something merge-esque, 'cause I want to see Marcus again" -Corinne's confessional pt1 ( anxious to see an ally = p, -3 )
Cut to Corinne performing poorly at nunuFang's practice "golf" challenge. "Randy, I can't hold it that much longer." -Corinne to Randy ( because it's superfluous to the story = n, -4 )
"The Kota alliance from the get-go was me, Charlie, and Marcus. As long as that's intact, I don't really care who goes home." -Corinne's confessional pt2 ( bitchy edit = n, -5 )
5. "Oh my God…I'm pissed, yeah. He didn't deserve to leave the game…It's not that anyone deserves it, it's just that, I think that, uh, he earned his right to be here longer, I guess." -Corinne to Jeff, Kenny, and Susie ( Mixed, -5 )
"Corinne, we won!" -Charlie to Corinne. Cut to Corinne cheerleading for nunuFang. ( because it's superfluous to the story = p, -4 )
"We figure we're gunna, um, send Bob…I just know that he can find the idol and I wish him the best of luck in doing that." -Corinne to Jeff ( aiding an ally = p, -3 )
6. "All we're thinking is food, but instead they start beating us with leaves that are covered in water and, like, stripping our clothes off of us to wash us down. Like, you felt like a human again. It was nice. It was really nice…And then we went to the next tribal ceremony and this little girl, she was very, very cute. She was, like, to small to, like, follow everybody and, like, hang out, so I paid some attention to her and then she was, like, lewd to me, which was cute, um, but I'd be the last person anyone would think would, like, chum up to a two-year-old…I'm glad we got to share this with each other." -Corinne's confessional ( not being bitchy = P, -1 )
Cut to Corinne shaking her head and rolling her eyes at Matty. ( bitchy edit = n -2 )
Cut to Corinne smirking as a tribal gentleman caller invites her to dance ( bitchy-cute edit = p, -1)
7. Corinne laughing half-heartedly at Randy's "Sasquatch" comments ( bitchy edit = n, -2 )
8. "I know that he's annoying Sugar. I know. And I feel you on this, but I'm afraid that we might shoot ourselves in the foot. Literally, after this vote, we would be even, like, we would still be up one and we could get rid of him the next vote…She wants to get rid of Randy…That's what I was saying, like, after this vote we could get rid of randy immediately. I mean, I want you to be comfortable, so I care about your opinion. I mean, I will do what you want to do…I just know Randy's in a bad spot and he has to stick with us and I just want to stay in the game." - Corinne to Sugar and Charlie
"My whole plan is just to stay on Sugar, 'cause she is the swing vote. Not only do I have to act interested in what Sugar's saying, but I have to act like I care about her…Sugar is so weak and naïve and gullible. I've been nasty to her for twenty-five days. I was nice to her one day, and she's sold. So it doesn't even make sense, but she buys it, 'cause she's such a moron." -Corinne's confessional ( bitchy/strategically wrong edit = N, -4 )
8. "See, Corinne is just hurting herself with her own personality…Oh God, she's horrendous! I can't handle her, she is awful…I know!" -Matty and Susie ( secondary bitchy edit = n, -5 )
9. Cut to Corinne smiling sympathetically as Crystal answers Jeff at TC ( not being bitchy = p, -4 )
Cut to Corinne
as Sugar answers Jeff at TC, "…I don't crap about people behind their backs…" ( bitchy edit = n, -5 )
-5, I gave Corinne a CPM for ep9, but after analyzing it, I think she should have recieved an N. I
don't see how Corinne could win this game.
