Survivor Live: Brooke

Survivor Live: Brooke
Hosts: Dalton Ross and Jenna Morasca
Mystery Caller: Ami from Survivor Vanuatu

Brooke is a genuine, down to earth woman and I wish she stayed longer on Survivor Guatemala so we could get to know her better.

On Being Voted Off
The new Nakum members (Stephenie, Jaime, Rafe and Lydia) didn't see how strong and athletic she really is. Brooke doesn't really blame them there just wasn't much time between the switch and Tribal Council.

Here Comes the Judd
What was Judd thinking? He was in a group of four [old Nakum] and now he's last in a group of five with the new Nakum members. Brooke said that she didn't see for herself the first time Judd talked with Stephenie and Jaime but Margaret told her about it. So why did he betray them? She thinks Judd just thinks [if you could call it that] in the very short-term and doesn't really consider the consequences to what he does. Brooke went on to say a lot of them [meaning the original Nakum women, I assume] didn't trust him; they didn't like his uncaring reaction to Blake being sick. She called Judd a "phony" and said he was always on the "outskirts" of the group. Judd did come alive for the challenges but she described him as a "bull in a china shop" at the competitions. Judd may have sensed their feelings resulting in his quick and easy betrayal of them.

Stephenie
Brooke doesn't really like Stephenie, she's not really sure Stephenie ever learned her name. Stephenie doesn't seem to work well with others (Jenna adds: especially with other strong women). The final dart at Stephenie: she's a little self absorbed.

The Others
Lydia is very energetic, especially at challenges, and does a lot of work around camp. Brooke says she really bonded and had an alliance with Danni. Brooke didn't go in the water because Cindy, the zookeeper, didn't. CBS told them that if they have to run away from a crocodile to run in a zig-zag. [See, you can learn something from TV.]

Challenges
Brooke's favorite challenge was the Basketball challenge, she didn't really do well but it was fun. The two that she feels she did well on were: 1. the Rope Web, she kind of surprised herself that she didn't fall off (like Rafe) and managed to get one of the more difficult bags; 2. Eleven Mile Jungle Hike, she led the way along with Jim and they didn't get lost (her contribution was edited out of the broadcast).

Best Camp?
Nakum supposedly won the better camp after the 11 mile hike. Brooke disagrees, Nakum have a longer way to go to get water than Yaxha does. Also Nakum's beach is like quick sand so they cannot hangout by the water.

Ami - Mystery Caller
Ami likes Stephenie but says Danni is gaining on her fast. Ami also said that she would have liked to have seen more of Brooke, but she doesn't like Gary (he's a bad liar) and Margaret. She rhetorically asked why Danni and Margaret are so thin (Ami gained 20 pounds before going on Survivor). Ami doesn't think Judd will be on the bottom of the Stephenie/Jaime alliance - Lydia will be on the bottom. What's Ami doing now? She's done some traveling and work for Venus swim-wear.

What's Next for Brooke
Brooke plans to spend a lot of time studying for the bar, which she plans on taking in February. Then she intends to look for a job in the legal field. [What, no lame attempts to exploit her good looks? How refreshing.]

Note: next week co-host Jenna Morasca will be away so there will be a mystery co-host with Dalton Ross.
