rook9566 Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Says in his bio that he is an accomplished swimmer, but Ozzy tore him up. He made the classic mistake. He assumed he was safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajunboiler Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 I wondered why Ozzy did better than him too if he is so good in the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest StarBaby Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 It was so fun to see poor JP blindsided tonight. He so deserved it -- he was one cocky SOB lying around camp bossing everyone about. See ya loser! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCRebel Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Oh well too bad, I thought he was pretty cool. Stupid tribe for voting their strongest member out. From previews next week I bet they win immunity anyways so it doesn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rejuvenated Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 It couldn't have happened any better! Cocky, lazy jerk is gone. Its rare that you see a group make a smart decision, especially when the group is women. How many times have we watched from home and seen the women talk about how they should stick together, girl power, numbers game and all that and then they cave at the last minute? Not this time!!!

Katydidit Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 What Rejuv said, yeah. Plus it looked as if a few guys saw the opportunity to oust one big alpha male and took it. I guess JP was handed the machete he asked for... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajunboiler Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 I didn't think Brad or Adam would vote out JP. Guess Parvati used her magic on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendes56 Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Somehow I think Brad is immune to Parvati's womanly wiles. At first I was surprised that Adam voted out JP but now that y'all mention the Alpha male thing, it makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rook9566 Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Everyone seems to think that big muscle guys are great for challenges. It is true to an extent, but J.P.'s team lost two in a row, so muscle isnt everything in this game. The women saw that they had a chance to secure power for themselves. Evicting this slacker was probably a good mood. Only time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sisu power Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Being a large, muscled guy beyond a certain point can be a disadvantage as it takes more energy to do everything and I think they feel more affected by the lower calorie intake.

Dade Posted October 12, 2006 Author Share Posted October 12, 2006 Courtesy of: TV GUIDE, INTEVIEWS & FEATURES Survivor's J.P. Reveals Why He Is PO'd by Angel Cohn J.P. Calderon, Survivor: Cook Islands On last week's Survivor: Cook Islands (Thursdays at 8 pm/ET on CBS), J.P. Calderon became the third straight member of the original Latino group to be snuffed out at tribal council. Some of his tribe mates said he was lazy, others found him too bossy, and some just pegged him as a threat, so they all banded together and voted him off, all the while letting him think they were going after Stephannie, the sacrificial lamb. TVGuide.com caught up with J.P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
