Man I hate this show what are they going to leave us ugly old Sandy to look at. Girls with big boobies need to keep there traps shut.

I've read that some castaways knew who Taj's husband is, and she had to come clean early so it wouldn't be found out later because if she lied when they asked what her husband does, she would've been through. So she decided to be honest and put it out on the table.

I'm tired of Coach already and hope that he's next to go.

Agree with creekdipper that Candace just didn't look right, and with those who were surprised that she was abandoned by her apparently ally, Erinn.

I thought Sierra might have mentioned that she prepared the camp while the others were trekking but maybe that was edited.

It will be even worse when/if people figure out that Taj is a herself a minor celebrity. (Most people (including me) wouldn't be able to make that connection on their own.)

That would be extremely surprising IMO. Outside a few wives or girlfriends, I wouldn't know any athletes' (even the all-stars) wives/gfs and I am a huge NFL fan. Furthermore, when looking at Taj, the last thing I would think is that she is married to a famous athlete.

Man, that guy is a horndog. At least he's open about it.

I am GLAD Candace is gone. Her type of arrogance rubs me the wrong way. I don't care how hot she is, if I even agreed that she is hot, which I don't. I thought it was interesting that Tyson was calling for Sierra's ouster (to the camera) and his reason was she failed in the challenge. This is interesting because while Sierra was trying her best (and doing a pretty good job) to prevent a strong GUY from scoring that winning basket, Tyson was at the other basket being handled by a girl. He should have been over there helping his teammate.

I am glad Candace was voted off, because she was playing the typical part of the "black women who runs her mouth too much that everyone hates", besides she didn't need the money she's a lawyer.

Btw which women use to be a part of the short lived pop group "SFW". I think that's the name of the group.

They are called SWV (Sisters With Voices) and it's Taj who is a member.

I might still have their 12" single of "Right Here" from my djing days.

I like Sierra - She reminds me of Drew Barrymore. She probally won't go far in the game but she is my favorite. My guess to win it all is Tyson

Taj is an exception where she has two things working for her: her career with SWV (which came first) and her marriage to Eddie George. Other NFL wives aren't in the spotlight like she is because she made a name for herself before she married Eddie. In that sense, you have people who see her as Eddie's wife and finds out about SWV, then you have those that know her as Taj of SWV then find out about Eddie.

SWV is currently ranked #100 of the top 500 pop acts of the past 25 years. I can understand your possibly not knowing much about her if you are not into R&B music, but she is very popular amongst R&B lovers.

Jeff mentioned that the ratings went up this season, and honestly it may have a little something to do with Taj's stint on the show. I know she's the only reason I'm watching. Word spread like wildfire in January that Taj of SWV (not "Eddie George's wife") will be on Survivor. She is obviously the most famous castaway this season, and some may say for those two reasons, but she also starred in her own reality show with Eddie just a few years ago called "I Married A Baller". SWV sang the theme song for that as well.

I've seen post-Survivor pics of Taj and she has lost a lot of weight. Whether or not that speaks to how long she stayed on the show is anyone's guess.

Here's the video for "Rain" by SWV - youtube.com/watch?v=hY7UG3BFilA

Candace was one of the standouts for her tribe at that challenge. Sierra so far seems to be fairly useless at anything physical. If history has shown us anything. The teams that cut the dead wood and keep the strong members do better than the ones that get rid of strong competitors because they don't like their attitude. Worry about getting rid of the assholes after you've got numbers on your side. Not when you still need as many strong competitors as possible.

Pardon my musical ignorance, but what is SWV?

If she made notoriety in her own right, then of course I can see people recognizing her.


edit: nevermind - saw mrpayroll's post. Never heard of them.

I agree that Candace's face and figure were her most attractive features. I'm not a fan of the big grapefruits on her chest either.

mraw

No problem. It turns out that Carolina recognized Taj from SWV (Sisters With Voices) as well:

and in Candace's interview she said pretty much the same thing:

That's two (possibly three) people who recognized her from being in SWV, and not as Eddie George's wife. Candace believe's that if Taj makes it through, it will be either because they are a fan of SWV or they like Eddie George and want to get close to her either way, because they want to be her friend. They are starstruck.

Thanks for letting people know, mraw.

Before I saw your posts, I was upset that so many people thought she was stupid for talking about something she really never had a chance to lie about.

I would have know who she was too.
