This is an open message to NaOnka Mixon.
NaOnka,
You are an afront to the African American Community as well as Humanity. If you think you are clever, intelligent, attractive or amusing...you are not. You are immature, and a bully. The way you have treated Kelly Bruno shows your ignorance level, which obviously is much higher than anyone I have ever met. I am handicapped-I had Polio as a child and I am sixty-one years old and I challenge you to come knock me over! You may think highly of yourself but you are the only one.
To the Surivivor "Crew" I wish to say that you are letting this harrassment of Jenn Bruno continue for simple ratings and that is appalling.

I do like the Jimmy Johnson messed up hair. ha Hopefully he will not get voted off early. After all, he is the oldest.

Rather than Oldies this group should have been called the Mature group. I think the older group have the wisdom to win.

Got to watch the premier last night. Interesting idea to do it by age. The one guy Jud is dumb as a box of rocks. He asked the girl with the artifical leg "How do you make it work?" Geez... This season has the potential to be pretty fun I think. I'm going to make my early pick of Yve.

The Show is all about the CAST. It looks like a very interesting cast this year! Whoever picks the Cast should work for the "Big Brother" Show on the side, because THEIR Casting this year was a Great Big BUST!

I have never, in all the years they have been on in various formats, watched a "reality show" of any kind.

Because of the "Old vs Youth" on Survivor this season, I have decided to give it a shot. I am not saying I will follow through week to week but I am told by friends that you do get addicted and have no choice but to come back show after show.

Since I have no way to tape the shows for later viewing, I guess I will be stuck.

I must admit seeing Jimmy Johnson, ex-coach of the Dallas Cowboys who beat my Buffalo Bills twice in the Superbowl, getting his hair dirty and greasy will be the greatest pleasure even though I will be rooting for the Oldsters.
