Lisa, Lisa, Lisa!
I was a mess through the first part of Monday's Survivor because of her. The child star testimonial she had with Jonathan was so unbelievably emo. I watched it through a haze of tears. I've always known there's a lot that sucks about being a child star but hearing it like that and seeing the direct impact on her was intense.
I was particularly moved by what she said about being a people-pleaser - I can relate 'cos I've struggled with it too. It's such a burden to carry when you
aren't a child star so I can only imagine how hectic it is when you are!
I was very pleased Jonathan asked her about it and remained on his side 100% as a result - even during their second convo. when he sat playing with the water while desperately trying to save himself.
I liked that he was so honest in telling us what he was doing so I didn't feel he was manipulating her - especially because I agreed with him - I'm desperate to see the story he outlined of her turning on the Spawn of Satan.
Which she didn't. I was very disappointed when I saw her Tribal Council vote because I felt she didn't stand up for herself - that she'd buckled to people-pleasing again but then, after thinking about it a bit, I realised she's definitely what she says she is: loyal. How can it be a bad thing in a world so crammed with the opposite??
It all comes down to
why she stuck with Tandang. If it was to Please, then it sucks - if it was out of loyalty, I accept it.
Only for now though. She HAS TO to ditch them next week because Pete and Abi get more despicable with every breath!!
