"Survivor: Samoa" has a lesbian contestant

I've been watching and she has made a couple of big mistakes.  She lost the mouthpiece to the scuba gear a couple weeks ago and lost a chicken last week. I'm rooting for her but don't know if she will make it very far.

PEACE!

  i thought i heard shambo say she has a husband        i dont know maybe im wrong

but yeah she needs to go   she has made to many mistakes

Im not crazy, my reality is just different then yours.

She's stated that if she wins, she wants to go on the Ellen Degeneres Show.  Hmm. . . . ;)

I can't find anything where she officially states a sexual preference, but I'd bet she's hetero just to screw with the world a bit--it seems that's how the universe works; anybody that ticks that many sterotype boxes has to be a fluke.

Though “I’ve always been famous, so I’m now I’m taking it to the next level, baby" (same source) kinda makes me want to root against her more than a little bit.  Reality check, please.

The way that she speaks and presents herself kinda reminds me of Aileen Wuornos, lol. 'Tendons, diseases...'

She doesn't seem crazy or violent or anything, it's just her voice and body language, slight wackiness and the hobo-ish appearance. 

Hip To The Beat, Mommie-O!

She totally looks like Charlize Theron in "Monster".

Right?

DId she actually "come out" on the show or are you just assuming she's gay?

I saw her awhile back and thought she was gay, but hey, you never know.  I am curious if she has come out.  I only watched 5 minutes of the first episode.  I could never get into Survivor.

Survivor is by far my favorite show like...EVER.

 I love Shambo. She provides someone 'real' as I like to call her. Her and Russel (the d-bag who I absolutely love and I hope he wins) are the only people with real personality. You have the cookie cutter girls, the ONE asian (really survivor?), and the charming mr. nice guy doctor. Then the other guys I think I have heard mentioned like once on the show. I saw some guy last week I didn't even know was on the show.

Survivor has got to diversify a bit.

BUT...back to Shambo

she won't make it long. She's next to go on Galu if they lose. However I don't think Foa Foa is going to make it.

And you're right, my gaydar (if any) is like a blazing alarm everytime she comes on screen

Because she rides a Harley, looks like Aileen Wuornos plus GLAAD and Reality Blurred have outed her, this makes her a lesbian? If we're going to judge people on their appearances, half my neighbors are rednecks, the other half are racist and I'm stuck in the middle.

I thought we'd come further than this, jumping to a conclusion, regardless of how much 'evidence' one thinks she does or doesn't have. I feel this sort of media coverage and commentary make us as a community follow the whole 'one step forward, two steps back'.

There have been at least four contestants who have 'looked gay' and haven't been. 

Each to their own, though, if you all see her a lesbian, then you do!

I have a husband and I'm a lesbian.  Actually my husband (or 'wasband' as I lovingly refer to him) and I have been separated for 8 years after I came out in '01.  Shannon looks to be close to my age and there are many of us who knew we were gay, but married because of societal pressures.  I'm not saying that she definitely is a lesbian, but just that it's possible to be married to a man AND identify as gay.  It's not easy, but it's possible.

Cheers!

I was attacking anyone personally, StuntDouble, because I know we're all entitled to our own opinions. I don't trust something until I hear it from the horse's mouth, so until Shannon herself, if she chooses to, decides to come out, I won't believe it! :)

I know there's teasing in any community, but I always seem to watch it fly over my head... thereagain I am kooky like that... :)

The token lesbian. Lovely.

And I'm pretty sure she looks exactly like my PE teacher in 8th grade! Ha!
