Episode Report Card Sara M: B | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT If Your Father Dies, Don't Tell Corinne
By Sara M | Season 17 | Episode 13 | Aired on 12.14.2008
Oh, Ace. Sugar gets all sad and says she feels terrible about taking Ace out of the game because she was lied to. She sounds like she's crying, but the camera zooms in and there are no tears. "He was a shyster but he was cool," Matty says. Ace the prat says that it was hard to be so well-traveled and stuck with people who haven't gone anywhere. Fuck you, Ace. I saw the "places I've been" on your Myspace, and you really haven't been to all that many places. And when you travel on Daddy's dime and stay in the finest hotels or whatever you said in the beginning of this season, it's really not a mind-blowing cultural experience. And finally, at least the tired, poor, huddled masses of unraveled people you competed against can go to a bar without getting arrested. And then there's Dan. Bob says he had a heart of gold, and Matty says Dan wanted to find himself out here and he thinks he did. Dan says he's learned how to calm himself down, or something. Whatever. He's cuter than I remembered.
Marcus is next. Sugar says she thought he'd be in the top three. So did he! Ha ha! Marcus says this game gave him an appreciation for the way the world works, and that you can make good choices and bad ones. Like throwing the immunity idol into the ocean and then getting voted out next. Marcus claims that was a good decision, though, since he didn't want to be sneaky or double-cross people in this game. No, they were supposed to accept their fate to be voted out and not try to stop it or save themselves. You know what I want to know? I want to know if Marcus would have kept his promise to take Susie to the Final Three if she hadn't flipped on him. I bet he wouldn't have! Everyone loves Charlie, and I did too, until I saw him join his crappy friends at the Loser Lodge in ignoring Crystal. Grow a pair, Charles.
Randy's next, and there's an awkward pause and no one knows a single nice thing to say about him. Bob finally comes up with the fact that you always knew where you stood with Randy. According to interviews, where Bob stands with Randy is he hopes he has a heart attack. Sugar blows a raspberry. She just can't let it go. Randy says that he was hated and liked by the same amount of people in this game, and he felt closer to people in this game than he has to anyone at home in years. Also, he is not a dumbass for falling for the fake idol. Everyone else is a dumbass. He concludes by saying that this game has shown him that it's okay to make friends and like people. Oh, dear. I think you're supposed to figure that out much earlier in life. Corinne is next. No one knows what to say at first, as they can't think of anything positive. Susie finally comes up with the same thing Bob said about Randy. Corinne says she's always been the kind of person who says what's on her mind and doesn't have a filter. I think I tend to do that, too. Unlike Corinne, however, I am not proud of this fact and try hard to fix it and improve myself. After watching Corinne on my TV set, I'm going try even harder. Thanks for the life lesson, Corinne! Too bad you couldn't learn one yourself while you were at it, as she says she thinks it makes her endearing. "Just being nice isn't really a personality trait that I find interesting," she says; "anybody can be nice." And since Corinne can't be nice, that must make her a nobody.
