Marquesas has always been my #1 or #2 favorite season, but Jeff's pretty much dissuaded me from ever wanting to visit there. If you listen to him, he says it's right up there with Africa and Guatemala as locations that were unlivable.

What's funny about Marquesas is that the fans almost unanimously describe it as one of the most beautiful locations. To me, it seems like a place where
they should always have Survivor. But if you listen to Jeff Probst, the place was a hell-hole. I remember when he ranked all the seasons a few years ago, he
went out of his way to talk about how brutal the bugs were in Marquesas and how all the contestants were miserable. And how none of them ever wanted to go
back there.

It is a beautiful in RL, but the whole bug thing is nonsense. Marquesas isn't any buggier than the rest of French Polynesia (i.e. Ranigora, Huahine,
Tikehau, Moorea, and so forth), Micronesia, or in the deepest rainforests of the Amazon.
However, I guess it depends on how sweet one's blood is. Meaning, I never have been bitten by Mosquitos or Nonos whilst in the South Pacific, but it seems the whole cast had a problem. If they used the required oils and natural fires in the first place they may have been more comfortable. |

Yeah, just watching Sarah being covered with bug bites was somewhat horrifying.
People also forgot that Tammy & Robert absolutely hated Vee. Robert even talked about how in the Final 6 IC, he hated Vee so much, he shot at her first in the slingshot challenge. Too bad he missed. That's why I was really impressed that Vee actually got their votes. Zoe really hated Vee as well. I thought what was interesting is Tammy's final speech. She accused Vee of being a flip flopper....and that no one knew what side Vee was really on. However, Tammy did not accuse Vee of being a coat tail rider (unlike all Vee critics, who say Vee did not deserve to win). |

Tammy said in her post show interview that, although we didn't see it, her and Vecepia were very close. Robert was more indifferent toward Vee than anything else, so where are you getitng your info from? And he didn't shoot at Vee's name first in that slinghsot challenge because he hated her. |

And to respond to a few posts back... DID Vecepia receive any votes at all? Because I was pretty sure she didn't ever get a vote cast against her.
Neither did Tina or Ethan, and probably a few other winners. Richard, however, did receive several votes against him.

Yes Vecepia received two votes in one of the middle episodes. For some reason, I think it was her birthday episode. Two of the Rotus voted for her because
they accused her of not doing any work.

I still think she attended every TC and didn't get any votes, that's why i originally posted it.
I could be wrong though |

She wasn't there for Sarah's boot either. And Mario's right, Tammy and Robert voted for her the night Tammy left (which was indeed her birthday
episode--as well as the one where Neleh offered her starving tribemates the mint she was chewing on).

I remain so very very very impressed about how much you all know about this game.
And how quickly you recall it. |

^^Guess not, guess Amanda straight up LIED! Oh well, you have to give Denise credit for taking a shot... I end up respecting Denise for playing a good game.
I would have never said that until tonight's episode.

To answer the question if Vee ever got any votes, yes she did. She got two votes from Tammy and The General the episode Tammy was voted out.
