When we had the paints and we all needed to paint ourselves as warriors, well we had left over paint to use onthe canteens. It was a fun afternoon painting. I had fun. Sugar was teh one who started that idea. We all painted our canteens. Matty that goofball, I painted his and I did a nice job on it. Matty was not happy with his penmanship LOL, so then he'd say "Susie, you paint it, make it look nice." I was glad to do it.

I wanted my canteen to be a smiley face simple yet warm! I mean everyday after that I would just take a moment and look at it and thought, this is what it's all about, just smile and be happy no matter what happens. I had fun painting it.

I ended up buying my own canteen off ebay and was glad it helped raised funds for The Serpentine Project.

If I am asked to play again, one I would be honored. It would be hard to play mean and nasty, although I would be more open to talking game,
because it would be obvious that I am in no shape to play physical games. I would work out, but I would hope for no swim challenges! I just don't know how I would do, but I do know that I would even try harder, I mean a lot harder.

Thanks for asking.

No and many times we never carried the same torches, we just grabbed whatever was there to grab that was standing there.
I was more concerned about getting my canteen.

I just remembered the paint was when we got it to paint the NOBAG flag is what we used to paint the canteens. I was thinking it was the other warrior paint, sorry about that.

The part I hated the most was when Randy snapped at me and was quite disrespectufl, but I got over that quick, no time to waste my energy
it wasn't worth my time thinking about how he treated me. It did make me sad and it did sting, but he owns that and will carry that.

Michelle is a sweet girl. I got to now her a bit more after the game was over. Sheis very young, so she was more like a daughter to me. I voted for her, because her social skills were not becoming. Michelle had a hard tmie relating to people. She kept to herself and so it made it hard to get to know her. Once she clung on to Dan for body heat, and took a few walks with Kenny, she really didn't mingle with anyone else.

Gillian and I had just came back froma jungle walk. She collected elephant dung and I was bringing back resin and that's whatI was smelling. We used it for burning to keep mosquitos away and Gillian used it to make torches to help see in the night.

I knew Giliian was going to be voted out,so I knew it was too late to alline with her, so I just listened to her. There was no point in trying to let her knwo anything. She was wondderful though. Love Gilly. I actually tried to say something to Dan and Gillian right away, but I remember they made a statement something along the lines "It's too early to make alliances", so I had to walk away. I had on day 1 already made alliance with Crystal, Matty, Kenny, and CG, so we had our numbers right fro the go. Had Gillian and Dan made alliance right away when I asked them, the ame mayhavebeen different, but it's wasn't the case.

I love the Susie Ownage! The giggle. Too sweet. I can't remember why I was dancing, but it was fun regardless. We must have been happy we found something or said something. In any case it was fun. Crystal and I danced once when we were at Kota, that as fun.

I don't know whyAnti hasn't given me any subnic, but I'm not worried about it really.

Thank you for all the compliments, I truly appreciate them. Awful nice of everyone to be so kind.

I keep in contact with Bob, Kenny, Matty, Sugar, Crystal, Gillian, Dan, Charlie, and Kelly. Kelly, Dan, and Gillian I hear from them through facebook or email. I haven't made much of an attempt to contact Jacquie, Paloma, CG, Corinne, Marcus, Ace, or Randy. I'm sure they are very busy working and traveling. Good for them.

The impression I got from GC was that he was kind, but somewhat of a lonesome person. I didn't get to know him on a personal level. He seems very quiet to me, but that's ok. I had been told that GC did want to quit the game, because he felt he had found out what was important to him and so he wanted to go home. I never heard that from him, but through others. I don't know much about him personally, so it;s hard to judge. He liked fishing and di dhis best to walk the jungle to lok for fruits ect.

The way I see the whole "Tribe leader" thing that he didn't want, was he basically got put up t be a leader, because no one esle wanted to step up, because as soon as you do that TARGET on your back. The target comes depending on your personaliy and how well you can lead. I didn't believe I could lead with my type personality, so there wa no way I was goign to offer it. GC's mistake was that he took that compliment as the tribe nominated him be a leader, when in fact, it was that none of us wanted the target on our backs. Simple as that.

When Jeff Probst kept insisting that this tribe had no leadership and kept mentioning that's why Kota was getting along wo well, was becasue they had some leadership bla bla bla, in that moment GC should have said, "so what, I don't want to be a leader" GC could not stand up to any of us or Jeff, so he buckled and said he was honored to be choicen to be the Fang tribe leader.

I personally thought GC didn't want that, but we all said "Oh yes we believe GC would be a great leader" . Gc accepted it graciously, but he really should have just said NO, instead he blows up at camp. Each of us are leaders in our own way. We had different ages and one needs to know how to handle these differences in ages. No with thatbeig said, Bob probably had it easier, because he was really the only OLD guy on Kota, so the young stuck together and protected Bob to some degree in the beginning. Had there been no switcing of tribes early, not sure Bob or I would have gotton much further.

I didn't have breaking points. I missed my son and husband, but felt quite ok myself without them. Had my son been 3, or 8 years old, I would of had a hard time. I knew I would see them at the end of my 39 days. I was realistic. My high tolerance for people's personality was the best part of what got me through this game. My breaking point was honestly when Randy was disrespectful to me. I just told myself he is not a happy man and doesn't know how to handle people. That's the advantage I had. I simple put away what he said to me and let it rool off my back.

Before the game starts. We wait. I can't answer that question in any more detail due to contract signing. Sorry about that.


Thanks Again
Susie :)
