Dade Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 THE ROOKIES: JOEL ANDERSON AGE: 32 OCCUPATION: Firefighter HOMETOWN: Avondale, Ariz. JOEL SAYS: ''Bottom line, I'm here for my family. If I just wanted to go on vacation and hang out on the beach, I'd take my family with me.'' JEFF PROBST SAYS: ''Joel is the one guy who might be able to give James [Clement, the returning Favorite from Survivor: China] a run for his money, because he is every bit as big as James. He's a fireman, he's a father and a husband, and when I met with him the thing that really struck me is how he does everything for his wife and his family. And I like that about him. He's a big, big guy, and these challenges start off physical right from the get-go. Sometimes being a physical threat works against you early; I think in Joel's case it's going to be advantageous.'' *Monty Brinton, EW.COM* ..............................................

And Marty, you have a dog or dogs right? I can't believe you two are drooling over this guy. He is no where as cute as Jena Malone or Katie Holmes.

nemille Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Anyone notice that he got the whole tribe to vote for Mary and he voted for Tracy. That was either a really smart move or it is going to come back and bite him in the butt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jersey721 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Finally, someone who claims they're a fan and actually has watched the show before. I've never understood why these love connections are not immediately severed. Joel definitely understands the potential threat of a 2 person voting block down the road. I loved that neither Mary nor Mike saw that coming. It was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erinjs Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Yup, bold BOLD move, lets see if it comes back and bites him in the butt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Yeah it remains to be seen if it was a good move or not. He's imerging as a leader, both physically and mentally. That can be bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crustylugholes Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I think it was a good move getting them to break up the Mike and Mary show. However, I'm not sure if I like this guy, He seems like a Neanderthal to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajunboiler Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I find it funny how surprised people kept Chet over him and says he doesn't understand it... maybe he should take a look at the two times he kept Chet!!! Karma bit him in the ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sisu power Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 just after he saw the error of his ways, unfortunately. poor guy. he was arrogant but did he really deserve to get booted before CHET???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayo Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 No, he didn't deserve it but they're probably figuring that ANYONE of them could win against Chet so why not keep him around? It probably will bite them in the challenges though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNIY Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I'm still really glad this guy's gone I would rather see weak Chet around for a few more weeks than this guy who thinks that the game revolves around him - man I hate it when people think the whole universe revolve around them. I Could not stand it when he would not communicate with his team last night Your not playing individuals yet you still need team work you MUST communicate don't get mad because they don't understand you - try to communicate on a level that EVERYONE can understand - OK I'm done now.

erinjs Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I agree with Kayo. Getting rid of Joel is going to bite them in challenges. And I would be upset if I had been voted out before Chet too. Chet gets on my nerves something terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_BB_Aholic Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I would agree, Erin, if only Joel hadn't done the exact same thing the last two tribal councils. What goes around comes around, ya big dumb lug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis_3 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 The only thing I didn't like about Joel's exit was the smug look on Cirie's face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
