My favorite part was when the other girls were talking about Sharleen (when she went on her date) and someone asked what her type was. The other responded "she likes intelligent men..." and you could just see a collective "....what's that mean?" come across the group.

So much. The Nice Guy®-ism is strong with that one.

About two years ago I applied to be on Survivor. I was called in for an audition in LA. They flew me out, put me up in a hotel...it was good times.
All through the process though I couldn't help be feel, 'odd' about the whole thing. The deeper into the audition waters I wandered, the more aware I was that I…

My money is on a bar bet that got waaaaay out of hand

Sharleen = the best. She had me the moment she accepted that first impression rose with that "WTF?" reaction. I'm not sure HOW she ended up on the show, but she was a refreshing change of pace.

In Soviet Russia, American idiot mansplains you!

Carl! What a lovable scamp! And seriously this sounds like one of those PUA travelogues where the author brags about how easy it is to bang women in third-world countries. Ugh.

I love that she has the sort of perfectionist anxiety that I can relate to - just her statement in her little bio thing that she doesn't feel comfortable receiving applause if she feels her performance wasn't amazing says so much.

I loooooved Sharleen. I loved her makeup and outfits and insane beauty, but most of all I loved how hilariously "fish out of water" she was. She was obviously way too intelligent for the show, and she and JP knew it, which made for much more endearingly awkward moments than all the other cookie-cutter sniffly "I'm…

Or like, the end of the sentence was "I wish I was a little dumber, so I could just enjoy how sexy you were and not concentrate on the fact that you don't understand a word I'm saying"

Why not? Try it out, see how the other half lives. Its a pretty weird experience to have, and certainly a conversation piece for later in life.

Really? I thought she realized that she was calling Juan Pablo dumb.

I thought that quote was awkward because she was about to say, "...so I could just be really excited to be here and not worry as much about whether this is the right guy for me," and she realized she'd be describing all of her castmates and calling them dumb on TV. So she just bailed on it mid-sentence.

Sharleen totally behaves the way I always imagined I'd behave if I were on this show.

The waitress with the fake homophobic message on her bill has really ruined things like this for everyone. . .

Once a radio station gets involved, I usually give it an 80% chance of being a hoax.

THANK YOU.

This is faker than my pink merkin.

How long until this is revealed as a fake or a marketing stunt? I give it a week.

Fake.
