Can you tell us a little bit about how you found yourself on Survivor? Were you a fan of the show beforehand?
Well, I was a fan of the show and I'm always on the hunt for new experiences and adventures and it actually started when me and my sister applied to be on The Amazing Race. And after interview after interview, before I knew it I found myself on Survivor instead. It was a much more challenging experience than I had first anticipated, but well worth it.

Bye everybody.
My comments regarding U/J & adoption were deleted (i believe).
It would be "conventional wisdom" from anyone who has adopted (or is familiar with adoption) that U/J would NOT be good candidates for adoption. Evidently someone here disagrees (or believes my post is somewhat controversial).
Different strokes i guess....I believe that adopting (& parenting) is a privlidge & a responsibility....not a right. If these thoughts are deemed wrong, I will find another board to contribute on.

hound, your comments on Uchenna & Joyce offended me and I felt they were uncalled for but did not comment on it, but when your post was reported to me more than once as offensive by other members as well as non- members I removed it.
Sorry if you feel that is a reason to leave the forum.

puddin,
i didn't mean to offend you or your members (i am sorry that i did). But I am disappointed in U/J's comments above. My perspective is that:
- I will be walking my 25 y/o daughter down the aisle this fall. I married her mother 20 years ago. I am not her birth father, but she has called me Dad for 19 years.
- I will be coaching my 8 y/o son's baseball game tomorrow. He was born in S. Korea & is not my birth son. I am his Dad. I am his "real Dad". And he is my son. (He is cute, sweet, & has increased the average IQ of our immediate family by at least a dozen points.)
When discussing adoption, folks should remember that 3 years ago (when U/J first won a million bucks) there were hundreds of thousands of children worldwide who would love to have been adopted by a mommy & daddy. Today....there are hundreds of thousands of children worldwide who would love to be adopted by a mommy & daddy (or mommy & mommy... whatever... as long as it's a good home).
U/J are discussing IVF (a website devoted to their IVF) & then maybe adoption. They also have discussed acting careers, possibly having problems in their marriage & being "looked up to" (by viewers).
puddin, you have a great website with members (& detectives) who rock. Thanks for letting me share why (i feel) adoption is a blessing.

Those of us who have an adoptive child in our lives know very well the joy and the happiness that they bring to our hearts every single day. We are truly, truly blessed. And with that joy often comes a passionate and sometimes outspoken concern for those children around the world in need of a home, and a sense of protectiveness towards those children.
I wish Uchenna and Joyce the very best in their search for parenthood, and hope that they will come to know that joy and happiness in their own lives.
Hound, it is easy to see the love you feel for your children. I am sure that you are as much of a blessing in their lives as they are in yours. Thank you for sharing your story with us.
One of the things that is so special about this forum is the way that despite our different backgrounds, opinions, ages, and team favorites, we all work so well together in pursuing our spoiler quest. Who knew that one very special TV show would bring so many of us together in a very special community? I am proud to know you all, and thank you all for the fun and joy you bring to my life.
And now back to our regular programming--see you in the Episode thread!
