She is "quick-witted," and her agent got the gig for her?

[WickedOne]

Oh ffs. A bible and loves Oprah. Two x LOSER.

[Marty]

Why isn't Tootie on the show?

[Cathy]

I'm curious to see how she does.

[stevea11]

I hope I like her better on Survivor then the Facts of Life.

[jersey721]

I'd much rather have Nancy McKeon on.  I liked Jo much better than Blair.

Looks like from the previews of next week, she might not be around long, unless her team stays away from tribal.

‘Facts of Life’ star Lisa Whelchel is divorced after 24 years of marriage
By Mike Krumboltz | Fall TV – 1 hour 52 minutes ago

Lisa Whelchel, best known for playing the snooty Blair on "The Facts of Life," is divorced. The split occurred in March, a few days before Whelchel started work on "Survivor: Philippines."

[Slimcruz]

I hope that the divorce didn't come as a surprise.  24 years is a long time.  I will be surprised if Lisa wins.  I only got to watch Facts of Life when I was being punished.

[Marty]

Hang in there Blair I mean Lisa

[NYROSE]

The things she wants to have on the island prove she has no real survival awareness at all. She's just another typical US clueless citizen incompetent to live without shopping, even if she has some ancient seasons of forgotten fame. LOL

[Slimcruz]

I like it that Lisa thinks that God doesn't care who wins Survivor.

Then why does she want a Bible? I did not see that in her post id. Did I miss it in something she said?

Having her favorite book does not mean she thinks God cares about the game of Survivor.

I love lisa and want her to stay!  I understand she is trying to reinvent herself after the divorce and all!  I hope she goes far!  Her tribe though, i dont like their mentality..we are young unare old u need to go!  She work that puzzle!  She is a valuable  asset! But the other girls using their bodies to get what they want!  How well can they handle mental comps!  Idk!

[6Borders]

The last thing this show needs if a female "Benjamin/Coach".  These "celebrities" always come on reality tv planning to hide their identity and they get recognized right away.  She's lucky Michael is a gentleman and didn't mention it, even tho he almost called her "Blair" in front of the whole group   I don't see her lasting long.

Michael is the same age as Lisa, and they accepted him into their alliance. Lisa has made no effort to have a relationship with the younger women in her tribe, so why should they care?
