“A Handfull of Anti-depressants”
Do you watch Survivor? You see, I am a fanatic over this show. But just a couple of hours I had one of my saddest moments watching the show. You see, one of the players, Sugar, had lost her father to lung cancer shortly before going on the show and apparently she cried quite a bit. At the final tribal council. a jury member who was obviously bitter and later professed to be proud to be rude and hateful, Corrine said the following to Sugar:
“You are unemployed, uneducated and a leech on society. The only thing I would give you is a handful of anti-depressants so that when you do cry about your father it will at least seem real”
Do I even have to tell you how furious this makes me. Sugar is a pin-up model. She has been seen in 5 different movies or TV shows and as I billed her weeks ago, will make some really good Marlyn Monroe movies and photos. It is just gonna happen that way. But, even though she lost her father, that comment was out of place. It was rude and hateful and even if Corrine was happy to be rude and hateful, her attitude is unacceptable.
I’m telling you, when I lost my father it was a ten year run of severe depression. This girl is in a freakin’ jungle with people she doesn’t even know and spent the first half of the show on exile island alone. So, I say boo to my absolutely show ever to even allowing that comment to be used, then to make it a glamorous comment on the reunion show was pathetic.
At least the contestant from the show that is a physician seem to understand and see that Sugar was hurting and that she was not as Corrine had described her to be.
And, in all fairness, Sugar was able to give her the happy finger after the comment which made me feel better but to be perfectly honest, I still say boo. Sugar did say that she was almost in need of body guards and didn’t leave home without make-up now as the paparazzi were all over her….and Corrine…well she was busy being boo’d and said she liked it that way. She was even stupid enough to blow kisses at the audience when they boo’d her.
Anyway, I give you….Sugar….
