uaintjak Posted August 21, 2012 I hope one of the challenges involves Mrs Garret's breasts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrsGryn Posted August 22, 2012 She could have updated her hair from so long ago. One of the weird things I remember about Lisa Whechel is that she is a ventriloquist. I hope that skill comes in handy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
uaintjak Posted August 22, 2012 Maybe she'll ventriloquist the voice of Baby Jesus coming out of the fire, telling everyone to vote for her to win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrsGryn Posted August 22, 2012 I would pay extra for that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spartini Posted August 23, 2012 Why couldn't it have been Nancy McKeon? Or throw in Meredith Baxter on the opposite tribe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerrye25 Posted August 23, 2012 It's such a random choice...did they go to her, did she go to them? Who they gonna go for next season...Allison Smith? I'm so puzzled on why she is on this show. As long as we're playing "why couldn't it be [insert Facts of Life actor/actress]", I'll go with late series semi-regular Sherrie Krenn who went on to be 90's country music three or four hit wonder Sherrie Austin. She was one of my favorite country stars when I listened to country in the 90's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ff174 Posted August 23, 2012 She actively campaigned to get on the show. There is a video where she says that she posted a video on twitter and had all her peeps re-tweet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
uaintjak Posted August 23, 2012 Blair still has peeps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shannon Posted August 24, 2012 If I remember correctly, she's uber religious, so she's the Bible thumper of the group. Next year it'll be Candace Cameron or her brother. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daisylou Posted September 6, 2012 This should be good. I hope she doesn't get the boot in the first episode. I want to see her get all religious all over these sinners first. If I were there I would tell her that I loved her in the New Mickey Mouse Club. Just cuz I do!...or did. I feel like most of these 20 somethings won't recognize her right off the bat. I could be wrong....though I rarely am! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ahab1013 Posted September 19, 2012 Why couldn't there be a Survivor that was 80s sitcom stars? Who wouldn't want to see Blair throw Chachi under the bus at a tribal council? Plus there'd always be a chance Urkel would fall into a firepit!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrsGryn Posted September 19, 2012 You'd better sent a letter to Mark Burnett STAT! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
uaintjak Posted September 20, 2012 I did not hate Blair from the get-go. This was unexpected. I'm sure she'll throw Jesus at me soon, but for now, I don't mind her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ff174 Posted September 20, 2012 (edited) Lisa is a Bible thumper. Still, that does not bother me, unless she is of the proselytizing type. I did read that she had a post on some website, maybe her own, where she claimed that it was possible to "cure" one's homosexuality; which is total crapola. Apparently, that post was removed at some time, so I do not have absolute proof. However, she is an advocate of "hot saucing," which I think is all kinds of wrong. It's a shame, because I liked her on tonight's episode. Edited September 20, 2012 by ff174 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
