I want to get to know my true self better.

 

Heh, I read that as 'I want to get know my true self beater.'

Beefcake for the ladies

Ew~ take a look at his hair in his CBS interview.

 

edited to switch from CBS to youtube version, to avoid commercial.

I like his Pet Peeve and he's got a killer body, but tooletta is right about that hair. Why do people do that to themselves?

[RCToros]

White dudes with dreads = douchebag.

[gforce]

Well, he certainly seems to be a quiet douchebag. Or completely uninteresting. All though the show he seemed to be in almost every shot for his tribe. But, did we hear him speak even once? Even in TC, they never showed him speaking at all. Either he goes a long way and they're saving his story, or the dude is profoundly uninteresting. I'm thinking the latter.

[pocketrebellion]

Here is to hoping that he isn't a giant bore. Otherwise we'll just be stuck with another Kelly Puprle this season. Someone who will make it eleven days to the end appearing in a camera shot evey now and then leaving us scratching our heads trying to remember who he is.

 

Only we'll be stuck with him as, unlike her, he won't be allowed to quit.

[uaintjak]

He has a nice chest, but his face (framed by those nasty fucking dreads) looks rode hard and put away wet on the show. In his video his face is cute(ish) and I like his voice...but that hair! Jeebus! Maybe if there's a hair-cutting challenge I'll warm to him. He seems sort of naively cute.

[spartini]

The hair is terrible, horrible, awful, but I found myself strangely capable of looking past that once Mike ripped his shirt off during the challenge. I have not been appreciative enough of Grant's contributions to making my hormones happy. Nice broad shoulders and a tight little, well, I'd better stop, my ovaries are blushing!

[knewb]

Grant's my favorite now. I've taken to covering his head with my thumb. I call him the headless hunk.

[angelmi]

he does have a pretty body if you can avoid the dreads.

[chrysana]

I can't believe he stopped eating the fish just because god-father Rob told him to. Love his body, too bad about his hair.

[MrsGryn]

I would add too bad about his brain as well, because if he can't think for himself and eat the fish offered to him, well then...the pretty isn't quite enough.

[chrysana]

I don't know...if he could fix the hair, the pretty might just be enough for me...for awhile anyway. I wouldn't mind being able to manipulate a body like that.
