Definitely agree about the reunion show. I'm happy that they went old school and just talked to the contestants.

Angelina - two words - "dat ass". Horrible person but curvy, very pretty face and smile. She will probably be returning, I will be watching.

"People of color" is a misused word. Certainly in the US it means anyone not of European decent but in Mexico and El Salvador, which include a variety of ethnicities, she would be clearly considered white and not a person of color. Regardless, her obvious intent was to try to play a race card to get a vote or two. Didn't work.

Agree with all of this i hope angelina watches back to see how horrible she was & changes her behavior but i doubt it. I'm glad nick spoke up as well but had he not when they watched the show she would have seen the whole world knew she was trying to embarrass alison.

why was everyone gunning for alison, anyway? I don't recall her ever doing anything controversial. She seemed to be playing a quiet game and wasn't any kind of threat.

She must of had a great social game because i didn't see her making any memorable moves to win it. Yes she was athletic but that does always produce a win.

natalie trying to redeem herself, and the whole tribe saying "nope, you are exactly as you were depicted on the show" was a great moment in the reunion.

I can see her demanding to the producers that she get her redemption at the reunion it was nice the whole cast agreed with the editing. I bet she didn't even feel embarrassed when she left.



I loved Dimples & Davie at the reunion what an infection smile & attitude Davie has it would be uplifting to hang around with him.

I am going to have to watch the reunion show now. From what everyone has said, it sounds as if it was a good one. I changed channels when it came on and watched something else.

I can't believe she didn't beat Mike making fire.

I never thought about her background, but she looks like she could be Italian, Armenian, Greek, Romanian, or Jewish. She sure doesn't look to be of indigenous descent. So I'm not buying her "person of color" and implied persecution BS. I think it's a disservice, and frankly rather insulting, to actual brown people (from Central America or anywhere) to have someone who looks white as anything try to get pity points as a p.o.c.
You do realize that you can be a person of color and not be dark brown, right???


I don't know why you think this is such a terrible, awful offense, or why you think she looks just SOOOO white, as she obviously looks Latina to me. But whatever. You can be offended if you want. I was just pointing out that her ancestry DNA test says she is mostly Central American/Mexican. Take from it what you will. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yea, I suppose so. There have been players with no true loyalties that make it to the end before, though I guess they all had enemies, so maybe he has the leg up there. I also think he was kept around because people just didn't think he could win, that he wouldn't be able to pull the votes necessary because of who he is outside of the game.


I don't know, I just didn't see anything "transformative" in his game myself.

Oh, I don't disagree on why she was using it, and I personally wouldn't think she had any kind of hardships based off of her skin color. She could certainly pass as a white girl who maybe has some Armenian in her background or something too. I was just pointing out that she is actually a Latina, with her family hailing mainly from Mexico and El Salvador.

Huh? Not offended at all , although you certainly seem to be. FWIW I wasn't criticizing *your comment,* but Angelina's claim of being a "woman of color." Which other people besides just me (as mentioned right here upthread) just don't see. Maybe she looks "obviously Latina" to you, but as I mentioned in my post, she also could easily be from several other European backgrounds. I *literally* thought she was just a white girl with a tan. Maybe you disagree that there are some Italians, Eastern Europeans, or other people who could be considered people of color based on their complexion- yet people from those areas are generally classified as white.

BTW, I never said people of color had to be "dark brown," or that it was "a terrible, awful offense" so please chill out, and don't condescendingly put words in my mouth. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
