Penny Ramsey

At this point, Penny is so far under the radar, I can barely remember that she's on the show.

What does this say?

[fluff]

Well, it could say that she goes far so they are holding back her story.
Or perhaps they do a "Zoe" on her and tell her entire story in the episode she's booted.
I'm thinking the former.

Congrats to Penny on her wedding. She looks beautiful in that dress. There are a few juicy tidbits in the National Enquirer article. I know, I know, the Enquirer? But they did have the scoop on the Ted & Ghandia ordeal. The article says Penny didn't win the million dollars. She reportedly lost 10 pounds, not that she had much to lose anyway. Also, it said that Erin, Jed & Clay were at the wedding. If this is true, it indicates that Clay & Penny made it to the merge & might have grown close. Maybe Clay joined the Sook Jai alliance. There's lots to speculate on there.

wow, in the full length picture on the right, she looks like trista from The Bachelor 1.

[fluff]

I think she looked really pretty.

It does seem strange to me that people plan their weddings with military precision then invite people they've only just met

If Clay really was at the wedding then as Jodaar says this could indicate a post merge "alliance" of some sort.
Either that, or they are sequestered to loser lodge for jury duty together for some time.

A Q: Are the ones that are in the jury at the end camping with those who are not?

[Invisigoth]

I don't think so.

The pre-jury bootees are housed in the losers lodge. They are kept seperate from everyone. When the first few evictees are asked who they became friends with, they frequently list many of the first 7 evicted.

The jury is kept seperate from the current players, and only see them at tribal council (with no interaction). Kelly talked about how Brandon & she would show up stinking drunk just to mess with the current players.

[fluff]

You're right Invi.

All the survivors obviously have to be away for the duration of the shoot. If there were any contestant leaks people wpould be staking out the airports to see when they arrived home if they were allowed to go after they were booted.

I think the non-jury bootees are shipped out of loser lodge and sent away (the S3 crowd went on Safari) so the "lodge" can then be used for the jury bootees.

[Modesty]

Thanks inv. I almost thought it had to be that way. (So the other ones are in "juror's lodge" - eh? The bar there is better?? )

I'm really liking Penny. She seems likeable, but not a doormat.

I liked how she guided them through the blinded RC back in E2 and I liked how she basically rallied her tribe during tonight's RC.

She's also very classy and I thought it was very sweet and genuine when she congratulated Clay on the IC win. He seemed kind of taken aback as he didn't know how to take it. Clay is used to getting pushed around by Robb, so that's his impression of SJ, I guess.

That IC was just classy all the way around. From the 3 SJ members taking 3 flags when they knew they lost to all of CG going and taking the last flag. It was real comraderie on all sides.

Jeff must have been proud to see everyone taking it so very seriously. Perhaps that contributed to his attitude adjustment tonight.

Either than or Jeff got er done and relieved some of that hostility.
