The CBS RTV Rankdown

[FlavorfulFifi]

DAVE AND MARGARETTA

 

 

Dave Groark and Margaretta Groark are a team who were on the very first season of The Amazing Race. At the time, they were married for 40 years, wHEw the power that that has. They were happily married. They ended up placing 8th on this season where they were tragically eliminated after one of their cab drivers didnt accept US dollars. In October 26, 2008, Margaretta died at the age of 67 after a three year battle with cancer and pulmonary fibrosis. May she rest in peace :-((( . they seemed like a nice couple and nice people to be put on the inaugural season.

Saving Crystal and cutting Lorena & Jason

Lorena & Jason

 

 

I wasn't sure who to cut here but I'm choosing Lorena & Jason since it doesn't seem like they had a great deal of longevity on the show, only appearing in four legs of their season, and having a bit of a 'fall from grace' following two strong-performing legs to two much weaker. They had a bit of a nightmare being hit by the show's first U-turn which was one of the key players in their early elimination. Hmm, I'm just not seeing much interesting stuff on them but not sure how popular they are here/how they did in the original rankdown. They've now separated so I'm guessing we won't be seeing them again at any point.

Howard Overby

 

 

Howard was a houseguest on Big Brother 15, which is known for the disgusting racism that ran rampant throughout the house. I felt so bad for him, Candice, and Helen who were stuck in a house with people who treated them that way. MattressGate was an especially gross moment, and Howard comforting Candice after it happened was a very heartbreaking moment. I am cutting him though because I think he's fodder here. He didn't have a very good strategy, lying to Helen about the voting for Elissa week 2 when she already knew it was him and not owning up to it right away. He and Spencer also managed to paint Howard as a the target during week 5 when they campaigned against Amanda to be evicted, which backfired when word got back to Amanda about this. Howard ended up being evicted in a 7-1 vote. It's sad that he got evicted under Aaryn's HOH reign after the way she treated him & Candice. Howard also made the Top 3 for America's Favorite Houseguest, which isn't surprising because he's a nice guy on a season with so much controversy so it's not hard to see why America liked him so much. Anyway, I'm cutting him because he's a pre-jury boot and I feel like he's fodder, so he's leaving here.

GUS & HERA

 

Gus & Hera were a father / daughter team on the sixth season of The Amazing Race. They both entered the race with a lot of intelligence as Gus was a former CIA agent and Hera has a Masters degree in special education. The pair of them admitted to butting heads often, and they hoped their time on the race would help them sort out their differences. However, throughout the race, Gus was a control freak and would often neglect to listen to his daughter. Oftentimes, he would even tell Hera to slow down...while they were in a race. Gus & Hera completed six legs of the race before being eliminated in Hungary in seventh place. I feel bad about this cut due to the very tragic event that happened in Hera's life after the race. However, Season 6 is a season I'm not too familiar with, and I only have two options here. Anyway, sorry to any fans of Gus & Hera, but out they go from the rankdown.

 

And I'm saving Ashley.

I do find Chris sudden hatred for me hilarious though.

i dont think its hatred. Why would you hate anyone online, that's silly! It's a game. You went after big names, and I am going after overall some of the weaker cast left in the games.

 

 

to be fair, I had 12 guys I was ready to eliminate this round, until your nominations came up. That changed things on my end.

You say all that but you have nominated women and in particular people you knew I liked the entire time. So to say that you were gonna nominate guys now is a just a lie. Im not gonna quit I will continue to save the people I like but its just dumb.

Exactly; it's not hatred. You're just getting on my nerves lately by making smartass comments which I reply with a smartass response.

 

And I agree with Sola - your nominations was a shot at him. If you can't take someone aiming shot at you then don't do it - Sola & I always played that way. And from experience, don't cross Sola

Also, CGF you played with me in the survivor rankdown. I nominated all guys many times. (I remember it pissing Elliott off). I tend to play in a way to balance out the cast. When Elliott/Andrew nominate all woman, I will nominate all guys. If someone else insists on nominating all men, I will counter with all women.

 

Yes, some of your favorites are in the mix for a couple of reasons. The main one was because of your last set of nominations. Secondly the Libbys, and Jessica's of the game don't tend to hold a candle to the amazing women we have here. Strategists, comp beasts and social game. In my mind, that is reason to eliminate them.

Yes they were a shot at him since he did it to me 2 straight times before this. These noms are not much different then the first 2 set he did. But I guess I am just confused at reactions lately oh well whatever.

Except no one in this game has nominated all men. I have nominated a mixture of men and women every time so that excuse doesn't really work either.

[Solaris]

Not that you should replace but you should have joined initially.

Initially it was because of the enormous difference in gender. these rankdowns tend to be female dominant in their end game, I was trying to even out the genders by eliminating the weaker women in the cast.

Since you were in the Survivor rankdown you should know that this strategy only lead other people nominated all off the different gender. As you said before me and you started nominating all men when Elliott and company started nominating all women. It didn't work out well for him then so I guess I am surprised to see you continue his strategy.
