May 11, 2008 (Mothers Day Tribute to “Gloria” the Chicken) written by Gloria Query, “Glo” gloriasroom@aol.com

   These pictures have locked in and you will see duplicates sorry about that fans LOL!

Tonights show was full of laughs for me.  I have thoroughly enjoyed watching this seasons show because it has had many moments that will go down in Survivor history!

The four women who made it to the final four were a real joy to watch.  Their teamwork and brains pulled off many moments that will make them standout as proof of what women can do if they team up together and stick to their plans like they did. Amanda, Parvati, Cirie and Natalie played a great game.  Their efforts all paid off and the four of them will go home and will have pocketed some money for their adventure together on Survivor Micronesia.  I have said many times before that women should team up and get rid of men no matter what they think of them. When the game begins if women will teamup together no matter what they might personally think of each other, vote the men off one by one then they could take it to the end and win money.  Tonights show was full proof of that prediction I have mentioned many times over in my writings and suggestions.

     I truly wanted to see Cirie win the million tonight, but then I would have been perfectly happy to see Amanda take it home also.  But, Parvati did a great job explaining her game tactics to the jury, and she was blessed with the win.  She perfectly stated what she had to do and why she did it, so she was voted as the winner of Survivor Micronesia. Congratulations go out to you Parvati, job well done (flirtations and all lol)!!!

      Now, for the moment you have all been waiting for with my column title tonight lol!  When we got to the part of the show where the 3 remaining Survivors returned to camp.  It was hilarious to see the 3 Survivors deciding that they were going to let “GLORIA the Chicken” out of her cage.  They decided to let her and the rooster survive slaughter and not have either for their supper on the island.  As soon as they said the name of “Gloria” the chicken I was laughing so hard my gut was hurting!  It wasn’t 30 seconds passed before my phone rang. My sister, Denise said well sis you have finally gained your fame by getting on the Survivor show under the name and fame of “Gloria the Chicken.”  As a matter of fact she even bet me that casting probably named that dang chicken after me, the biggest diehard fan in Survivor history. She said they were paying me back for all the years of intense nagging and antics I have used to get on the show. I said sis, you have it all wrong. It is with great honor that this chicken could even remotely be named after me.  Gloria the Chicken survived on the island for the whole show without being slaughtered. “Gloria” the chicken deserves to be auctioned off for EGPAF and should bring a very high bid for their charity cause.  “Gloria” the chicken should be honored to live a sheltered life, on a nice quaint quiet farm, and cherished always as Survivor history as first animal to survive the slaughter of poor hungered survivors!

      “Gloria” the chicken congratulations on a job well done.  You have survived the slaughter of Survivors and I am proud of you girl!  After my sister hung up, it wasn’t but a few minutes before I got another call from a diehard fan who reads my humorous columns.  He had me in stitches laughing my heart out. He said when he heard the chickens name he fell over laughing thinking of poor little old diehard Gloria Query the writer.  We laughed and said what a lot of fun Survivor is and back to the show we went in laughter.  Then 5 minutes later another call from across the country from another diehard humorist like us all!  They swore that dang chicken had to be named after me because of all my humorist columns I write about the Survivor show at onsurvivor.com!

I KNEW THIS HUMOR THING WAS GOING TO HAPPEN BECAUSE OF “GLORIA THE CHICKEN” AND I HAD TO PROVE THE POINT BY LEAVING A FUNNY MESSAGE AT CASTING!!! I LEFT MY message at casting at approximately 9:00 pm Virginia time tonight and then said gotta go back to the show. I truly hope that casting director, Lynne Spillman, had a sense of humor when she heard this message.  After all, I have certainly kept my humor through it all, for over 8 years of denials trying to get on the show.

       After the finale, I got online and already had 3 e-mails with jokes about “Gloria the Chicken.”  Everybody knows that my motto is “Humor is healer of all Sorrows.”  The Survivor Show and “Gloria the Chicken” certainly healed me of any sorrows I had tonight and this past week.  Little did Survivor know but through all this humor I was sitting right in the middle of 3 hour tornado watches all around me.  But, I knew I was safe because God and my fans were certainly not going to let anything happen to me on Survivor finale night. LOL  And much to my surprise my humor rose to the occasion and I left my humorist message to casting department at Survivor.  Thank you Survivor for putting up with me through the years. It has been fun trying out for the show for over 8 years but the real thing I enjoy most about trying out for Survivor is the mental challenge it presents to me, trying to get you to change your mind.  I love mental challenges and trying to get on Survivor has cetainly been a mental challenge full of fun and humor and big dreams.  Yes, casting I WILL TRY OUT again, and yes fans I will give it my very best shot. Heck diehard fans I am now entering my 17th tryout.  Wonder what will happen this time lol????? Mental challenges are my specialty and I cetainly excell at them.  So, it’s that time again to do a 3 minute video that is interesting, and fill out an application that grabs their interest.  So, pray for me diehards because my humor is so high right now ther’s no telling what “Glo might do next.”  Will I settle down and be a good little diehard fan, or will I prove to them just what makes me tick LOL???

      After all my years of devotion to the Survivor reality show they should ship “Gloria the Chicken” directly to my house as a token gift of Survivor diehard devotion and humor!  But we all know  that Survivor has no sense of humor with me, So I will give up that funny thought.

       Well, it’s time for all you diehards to put on your thinking hats.  Good luck to all of you diehards who tryout again and as usual I am looking for true diehards to interview in Gloria Query’s Jungle talk columns. So, contact me if you are a true diehard and want an interview.  E-mail me at gloriaroom@aol.com

       I haven’t been writing much for past 2 months, because lots of things have been going on in my life that are good and have kept me busy.  I am in super shape and have dropped from size 12 to size 4, so watch out for little ole me, cause I am ready to go anytime lol! Go on a real adventure, where the mind is under constant strain which is the challenging part of Survivor.  I’ll be back writing more soon diehards.  Love ya all and good luck on your tryouts for Survivor 18!! Remember, “Humor is Healer of all Sorrows!”  Make somebody smile and laugh tomorrow, where ever you are out there in Survivor world! Love ya, Gloria Query the “Glo” or alias “Gloria The Chicken”  lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    How can you help but “LOVE” Survivor!!! Next Season will be here before we all know it again!!! SEE YA REAL SOON DIEHARD FANS!!!!

Copyright March 24, 2008  By Gloria Query “Glo” gloriasroom@aol.com       “50 Finalist Have Been Chosen Out Of 800 Calls Made Across Country For Survivor 17!! Wonder, Who Will Be 10-20 Contestants Chosen For Next Show? I hope they chose some real diehards this time and “Not A Bunch Of Wusses and Whimps!”

   OK, OK I’m sorry diehards fans.  You all keep e-mailing me asking what is wrong. You all want to know why I haven’t written articles about Survivor 16 Micronesia.  Well, OK good ole “Glo” got seriously ill for over a week. You will die laughing at me, but it was not a funny situation at all!  I had 3 teeth extracted at one time that had 3 abcesses. Not one tooth but 3!!!  The infection was so bad that my dentist sent me to oral surgeon immediately and out they came.  The infection was already in my system and I had to miss several days of work.  As a matter of fact I haven’t worked but 3 hours in a week, and go back to work Wednesday this week.  It was almost a situation of me being put in hospital.  I went for checkup today and he is still bringing me back for 4th time for follow up. So, can I please be excused for not writing for past few weeks.

        Everybody that knows me has been joking about how bad it would have been for me if this had happened to me if I had been on Survivor.  Well, I have an announcement to make. If I ever get on Survivor, I am having every single tooth I have pulled out of my little ole head, and will be wearing false teeth and will get a very expensive dental bill when I get home and have all implants put in LOL!  So, that’s how good ole Glo will handle bad teeth situations if Survivor ever occurs in her future!

          Everybody wants to know how I feel about the “Fans Team!”  I think casting has done a poor job of casting for the show as far as “Fans” go.  They have not truly gone out and found true diehards for the show.  They have tried to blend a unique set of personalities for the show and in doing so have cast a poor bunch of diehards on the “Fans” team.  The two personalities that recently left the show should never have been cast for the show to begin with.  Chet and Kathy were weaklings from the very start.  Chet didn’t try out for the show like a real diehard has for years.  He  just took up space while he was there and the only entertainment given by him was all the talk around camp about how  awful and poorly he was for challenges and moral. He was only different by being gay and believe me they have had several gay people on prior shows who were stronger players than Chet.  Chet you were and are a “WUSS” and took up a space that was much more deserving by a true diehard player.  True diehards all over the country were sick when they saw you on show and you should never have tried out for show because you are not cut out for real challenge and adventure.  It doesn’t fit your nature because you are a physical wreck and weakling.  You “ARE NOT” a “TRUE DIEHARD PLAYER.”  What you wouldn’t do for Tracy shows you are a real “WUSS.”  You said they can do what they have to do on their own after you are gone to save themselves.  How about you should have swallowed a few more days for someone like Tracy who was a real friend to you.  Chet, you made me sick from the start until the end. I’m glad to see you gone, but with no respect from me because you could have saved Tracy some time on show by doing something for her instead of for yourself. But, being the wimp that you are and were, you had to sack it in for a cool shower and food. Poor little old Chet just couldn’t sleep for 3 more days to save Tracy.  Tracy I have to give it to you girl, you gave it all you had with the team mates you had to work with. I was sorry to see Tracy go so soon.  She fought it to the end like a real diehard Virginian would!!!

         Kathy, the first night I saw you on the show I laughed my tail off!  You already knew you were out of your element and had made a mistake getting on Survivor.  You, getting the immunity idol was just pure luck and saved you right from the start.  I knew within minutes of watching the show that Casting had made a bad choice with you. You needed to keep working your job at the golf course and not waste the slot of a true diehard contestant. You lasted much longer than I ever anticipated, but you still made me sick to my stomach week to week, because I would have much rather seen a real thrill buster on the show who had grit.  Every time I saw you all I saw was poor little Kathy, the mentally weak and unstable woman who had been chosen for Survivor.  You were a mental wreck from the start, and didn’t blend well with your team mates.  I hated seeing Tracy being stuck with the likes of weaklings like you and Chet.  All it did was drag her down in the eyes of her fellow team mates.  Her age was already against her, but being stuck with you and Chet was eternal doomship for her in the end.  Tracy did at least have a lot of fight in her personality and nature.  But, you and Chet were nothing but pathetic  weaklings from the very moment the show even airred!  True  diehard talent could have brought  much more to the “Fans” team had they been selected in the right way by casting to the show.  I think Survivor “Intentionally” selected weaklings for the “Fans” team.  They thought this would bring a lot of controversy to the show so I think thats what they set out to do from the start when they made their selections for “Fans” on the show against “Favorites.” Kathy I have to but you in the category of “Wusses” just like Chet! You earned the title “Wuss” and wore it well!

         The strongest players are gone off the “Fans” team like Joel and Mikey B. Both those guys were strong players but were stupid.  Joel had a big mouth and had to take on big strong leadership role, such  as this is the way it is and will be rather you all agree or not. My prediction about him being gone was right on the money and just a matter of sweet time.  Mikey B. was stupid because of his supposed love connection with Mary who was voted off for no good reason so early on the show because of shannanigans of Joel.  Joel made a point and pursued it to his own doom.  Mikey B. got mad over Mary and couldn’t keep his big mouth shut trying to prove a point of disappointment, so he got on everybodies nerves and got voted off.  Mikey B. you don’t go on Survivor to win a million dollars and fall in love or be so strongly attracted to a woman that you lose your direction and reasoning on the show.  You blew a chance of once in a lifetime. All us fans knew your point, but why didn’t you let it go.  Woman will be falling out of the air for you after having been on Survivor.  You could have been a strong player to watch on the show.  You just plain blew it for yourself because of your disappointment of what happened to Mary.

         Jonathan Penner got the worst deal of anybody so far on this show.  I hated to see him get hurt and get the infection in his knee that took him off the show for safety and health related reasons. Jonathan, I am a diehard Survivor fan and I have tried out for show for 8 years and will never be blessed to be on show, but it would have been an honor to play on a team of fans agaist a player like you and Twila Tanner. Yes, I like Twila Tanner, and I want to see her on the show in the future if they do more shows of “Fans against Favorites.” She was a strong player and Survivor needs to get her on show!

        There is much more I could write, but I have pretty much stated my case and theory of thought.  Survivor did a poor job of casting Fans! I think, as I stated before that they did it to have a weak “Fans” team and to stir up more interest and controversy for the new show.  Yes, I think they intentionally ticked off all us true Diehard fans and  dreamers for a reason. As usual, Survivor is always up to something and I am always up to something which is telling them and all you diehard fans what I think.

            Survivor, airs this Wednesday night March 26th, the day before my birhtday! Don’t miss it diehards. They rescheduled it because of the basketball game!  It will be back on Thursdays next week!

            The answer to why I will never be on Survivor is as I always told you before. Lynne Spillman and Mark Burnett hate me because I tell it like it is and because I wrote some letter that didn’t hit their fancy.  I told the true story in previous articles so go read it.  They can’t forgive, forget or understand the real true me. They don’t want to and don’t have to deal with me so they won’t and that is that in a nut shell diehard fans. I promised I would never give up trying out for show and I have kept my promise to all of you. Thank you all so much for your devotion and support! Thanks to all of you I am A Survivor Guru of Information at times LOL!!!  Make sure to here me on the radio show where they are having me as Biggest Loser Survivor  Fan guest and Why?

     “Big Bad Glo” riding into the sunset until next article! Love Ya Diehards.  All diehards can reach Gloria Query for Jungle talk Interviews at gloriasroom@aol.com  Next Jungle talk Interview will be posted in few days.

by Gloria Query “Glo” gloriasroom@aol.com March 8, 2008

 Gloria Query and sister Denise Query have both tried out for the Survivor reality show 16 times!  They both have waited patiently, hoping for the important call to come forth for Survivor 17!  We are a set of sisters who know what being a survivor is all about!! It’s time one of us got our shot at our dream so come on Survivor give us a call and let us prove what we’re made of!

        Ok, diehard Survivor fans!  I announced several days ago that the casting crew for Survivor 17 has been making calls for the past 2 weeks for candidates that have a shot at possibly being one of 50 finalist who will be flown out directly to Los Angeles for final screening and interviews.  They will be put up in a hotel for 10 or more days where they will have intense interviews and be considered for Survivor 17.  Only 10 or 20 will get the position as contestant for Survivor 17.  The 800 interviews that were suppose to take place at different locations across the country have been cancelled.  They will select 50 candidates by phone.  One man from the Boston, Massachusetts area has been called for the second time in a row.  He was one of 50 finalist last time and he has a big mouth.  He is so egotistical that he can’t keep his fat trap shut. He has already put it out that he has been called again and let the whole world know it. Yes, I know his name but it’s not important for me to go there.  It’s just other diehards should be considered over a person like him. As far as I am concerned he has yanked away a spot for someone more deserving!

         All you diehards have ask me to do something for the world to see.  It will be done within the next week.  I said if I get over 50-300 e-mails asking me to do it that I will, so keep your eyes and ears open, it will be done real soon!!

           Ok, the Announcement is out.  Casting crew has been calling for past 2 weeks for Survivor 17. Good Luck to all Diehards who get call!

By Gloria Query “Glo” gloriasroom@aol.com March 1, 2008

       Gloria Query In her Back Yard Jungle because she couldn’t get trip to Survivor Jungle!!!

                        On February 19, 2008  I had the pleasure of interviewing a gentleman that was warm hearted, gentle and overwhelmingly polite.  But, at the same time I knew that he was a man that could and would take care of business if he ever got on Survivor.  I knew from the very start of our conversation, that this man was going to open my eyes to what real country boys are all about.  I also knew right from the start that I was really going to like this man and that he was going to bring great information to the table of Survivor knowledge.

            This gentleman is Ricky Humphrey, age 45 from the city of Boston, Kentucky.  Boston has quite a gent on their hands because he is involved in many things, especially in the fields of hunting. I mean it literally, because Ricky absolutely loves the outdoors and said when he was younger he would rather hunt animals than girls. His passion for hunting and fishing kept him from going to his senior prom. He said he had no interest in the silly old dance and would rather be out in the wilderness with the animals on the prowl. He felt when he was younger in High School that dating was pure foolishness compared to the wonderful feeling he got when he  was outdoors in the wilderness hunting animals. He absolutley loves the skill of hunting and cherishes the knowledge of doing it the right way.  He adheres to gun and safety laws, and has respect for the  way animals are hunted.  But just getting away with hunting could  not last forever …. As life would have it, he use to work on the  County Road Department and it was there that he was introduced to a beautiful woman named Kathy.   He dated Kathy for 5 years, and she said it’s marriage or the road country boy.  She had waited for him to ask the golden promise of marriage long enough and she said it was time for her to move on if the country boy didn’t want more commitment.  He knew he had been had, and if he didn’t do the right thing he was going to lose out on the beautiful Kathy for the rest of his life and he just couldn’t let her go.  So, the two got married and a few years later were blessed with the one daughter they have named Katelyn who is 15 years old.  Ricky says, Katelyn has been spoiled by him and his wife, but most of all spoiled with love.  Katelyn has the honor of being the guest he wants to bring to the Survivor Reality show if Ricky ever gets on as a diehard contestant.  If he doesn’t take his daughter I don’t think living around the house would be easy on him.  He has driven his wife crazy with his desire to be on Survivor, and he feels Katelyn deserves the spot as his guest because they are tight buddies who adore each other and would be a team to contend with. I think Ricky might be right about that.  Country boys are well loved on Survivor.  If they loved Big Tom and Chicken then they will adore good ole Ricky The Turkey man from Kentucky.

            Ricky is involved in many things. He is a life member of the North American Hunting Club, is a committee member of Central Kentucky Chapter of Wild Turkey Federation, which is the restoration of of wild turkeys in America.  He is a member of JAKES which is young and old turkey gabbers.  JAKES gets involved with showing the younger generation how to hunt properly. He is a Party Leader at Fort Knox Military Base.  He goes to Fort Knox every year and teaches approximately 90 people the proper way to hunt deer.  He goes out 3 week ends with 30 people on each hunting party and teaches them all the techniques needed to hunt deer properly. He loves doing this every year and finds it to be a rewarding expereince. Last but not least he is a member of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation.  I truly don’t know how he can do all this and hold down a full time job too!

             Ricky says he is not a little guy and if he goes on Survivor he stands about 6′1″ and carries a stature of about 250 pounds.  He says his size will be exactly what carries him through the show because he can compete with the best youngins they bring to the show.  He is not afraid to compete with anyone and is obsessed with the show and is ready to go at any given minute.  Personally, I think Survivor has their eye on Ricky and it is just a matter of time before we might see him on Survivor. Like I said before if they love Big Tom and Chicken then they will adore Ricky the ole country boy from Kentucky.  I am going to nickname him “Turkey Man.”

            I ask Ricky what was his primary goal for going on the show, and he said he wanted the challenge, adventure and the good time it would bring. He said he is a super friendly guy and that he could get along with anybody and would be a great listener to all his team mates on the show.  He said the money wasn’t the main objective or reason to be on the show and truly thought that his money making profits would come to him through real estate deals after he appeared on the show.  He said everybody in his home town would know him then and come to him for questions and answers about the real estate market. Good Luck Turkey Man and I hope it happens for you!!!

           His favorite Survivor is Rubert.  He feels that Rupert has played the game better than most other contestants and was fun to watch week to week when he appeared on the show. He also liked Yau-man and thinks he played a great game being such a small man.

           He thinks Cirie is going to win Survivor 16 Micronesia, but I don’t agree with him on that Prediction! Cirie is stirring things up around camp and it is just a matter of time before she goes I think.  But, I DO LIKE her!

           He thinks that Joel made a big mistake trying to take the leader role on Fans team, and we both saw eye to eye on that statement.  I persoanlly like Tracy Wolf from Fredericksburg, Va.  He said Glo you wouldn’t be prejudiced on who you like would ya , being from Virginia and all.  i said absolutely not I just like her and she is going to come out of her quiet little shell and tell what she thinks, which she did do to Joel last week right Ricky ole boy? LOL!!

           If you met Mark Burnett on the streets what would you say to him, I asked?  He said first thing is I wouldn’t know him if I even saw him.  But if I was introduced he said he would say to Mark Burnett, “How high do you have to jump to get on show? LOL!! That’s Real Country talking i said LOL!

           What is the hardest thing you have ever had to face in your life I ask Ricky. He said losing a little boy  named Eason that didn’t make it full term, and the loss of his Father. Losses of loved ones have made him know how blessed he is to have his wife and daughter. Ricky is a God fearing man.  He has actually e-mailed me telling me that he and his family are still praying for my daughter Melanie who has Multiple Sclerosis. She was diagnosed with it in December, 2007. She is coming down next week from Manteo, N.C. to see another doctor about it. He touched my heart still checking on my daughter like that, so I wish him the best of luck on his dream to get on Survivor!  I have had my dream for 8 years and it is still at a constant stand still LOL!  But, God has reasons for all things. All of us Diehards have the same dream, hoping one day to be selected as a contestant on the Survivor reality show. True Dieahrds never stop dreaming or giving up on their dream thats why the title “Diehards” is being used as “fans” on the show!!!!!!!

       At the very end of our interview Ricky wanted me to know a few things he has done. He is a foundation specialist and dabs in Real Estate. He said Real Estate is dead right now, but will pick up again soon!  He has bulit houses, been welder, ran heavy euipment, been a dynamite blaster and ran his own business before.  He is a good ole country boy who will do what he has to do to be a good proivider for his family.  Ricky is the type of person you always want as a friend. If you are scared in dark allies, you always want strong support behind you like good ole Ricky because he isn’t afraid of much in life. He takes what the Lord gives and handles it one day at a time. If I was on Survivor I surely would want an alliance with good ole Country boy, “Turkey Man” from Kentucky.  As a matter of fact he is one person I might call a friend after leaving the show to live every day life.

         Ricky, “Turkey Man” you are a great guy and I truly wish you the best of  luck on your venture to get on Survivor!  But until that time do like me and say those Survivor Turkeys don’t know what they are missing not picking Gloria Query and Ricky Humphrey for the Survivor reality show! LOL!! RIGHT RICKY “TURKEY MAN”??????

       By Gloria Query “Glo” gloriasroom@aol.com  February 26, 2008

             “No” is a word I have hated all my life.  It is a word that is so final and ending.  It’s like a stop sign meaning go no further.  Negative words have always been something that aren’t in the framework of my being. 

             Growing up as a child I was very well behaved so the word “NO” never had to be said to me to often.  In grade school I was the quiet one who just sat there and took in everything  around me.  On the playground I was never a bully and little ole me took up for the underdog in class.  I would walk home with the poor kids no one liked and I would invite them to birthday parties and bowling parties at the bowling alley that my dad was a manger of for many years. My dad was older than most fathers. When I was 8 years old my father was already 60 years old.  Most kids thought my dad was my grandfather.  Having a much older father than most taught me a great deal about life at a very young age. I remember dad working 2 jobs to keep the household running.  The way I was raised by my dad is a good reason I have never like the word “NO” as long as I can almost remember. Dad was born in 1900 and he lived through wars and depression and raised 5 children from a prior marriage on his own. His first wife died of cancer so he had to provide a good Christian home for these 5 children.

            Later in dad’s life he married my mother who gave him a daughter, named Gloria. I was the only child in that marriage for 14 years.  I was daddy’s little girl and we took the world by storm.  We both loved God dearly and talked about Him everyday in converstation.  Dad lived in a time when things were tough so he was like me.  He did not believe in the word “NO.”  Dad didn’t let anyone stop him from accompishing things he set out to do in life.  He never accepted the word “NO” but to be honest he didn’t do much in life where “NO” had to be said to my dad because he was such a wonderful, loving, God fearing man. He did everything he could and never gave up. He took care of his first and second family with love, compassion and devotion of heart. He said when you love God and do right you won’t have to hear the word “NO to often.

            So that is a short beginning of my life and how the word hardly ever entered into my vocabulary.  It was said so seldom that I can’t remember it.  I was loved and trusted and was open to explore the world around me as long as I loved God and behaved.

            When I entered Junior High I knew I loved all sports, softball, even baseball with the boys, basketball, volley ball, soccer hockey and tennis.  I even ran track after school.  But I was always the second smallest girl in my class. Being small use to turn off my team mates, because I was so little they didn’t think I would be good at any sport.  I remember my first Gym teacher telling me “NO” I couldn’t play 3rd base. Well, we had a substitute teacher for 2 weeks and she let me try 3rd base.  When the regular teacher came back she was amazed.  Playing third base became my position in High School, College, recreational softball, and travelling teams throughout the country.  3rd base was created for little ole me and I never heard the word “NO” from any gym teacher through the rest of my school days when they saw me play it. I didn’t hear “NO” to any sports, or to becoming a cop, or becoming a bounty hunter, or becoming a car repo-lady or becoming a go-go dancer.  “No” was never said because I had such drive that people never used it much around a person like me.

            I used to be on the special education committee for the city of Chesapeake schools. One day we had a big meeting with parents and their special needs children, one which I have myself. These children were never allowed the word “NO” in their classroom if it was related to task they were trying to overcome.  You could say maybe better tomorrow or we’ll try later but never to say “NO” you can’t do it. “NO” is to final for these children and it is to final for me.  It deadens the drive of energy within.

             In June of 2006 Lynne Spillman said “NO” you didn’t make the cut for Survivor Gloria. She hadn’t promised me anything but she definitely said the wrong word when it comes to a person like me.  All the word “NO” does to a person like me is make me more driven and determined.  A few months ago Lynne used the word “NO” to me again saying i would never be on survivor. (I  wrote an article about that a few days ago. Make sure to read it!)

              Lynne Spillman is the casting director of Survivor and if she could ever tell the world one thing she would have to say that Gloria Query is not a person who gives up when she is told “NO.”  “NO” makes her mad and more driven and determined than ever. As a matter of fact I have probably angered Lynne and Mark Burnett with my persistence and drive. Well, I can’t help it I just hate the word “NO.”  I like to prove myself when ever I hear a negative word.  I like to better the situation or cause and effect.

               I have become known online with my writing. WHY? because Lynne Splliman told me “NO.” My driven personality stood out at casting calls and online with my writings because I poured out my thoughts, ideas and beliefs of what I want.  I kept trying no matter how negative they seemed, I became positive with thoughts to never give up. They know my name at Survivor. because someone told me “NO.”

                So, I have held my head  high in adversity of the negative word “NO.” I have proven that I hate the word “NO” and have done everything I can to make positives out of negatives when given to me by Lynne Spillman.  For that reason alone I should have my chance at getting an interview for Survivor.  I walked with the negative word thrown at me, but walked strong and steadfast with positive devotion and loyalty to the show.

                 If for no other reason on the face of the earth as it was said to me I deserve my Interview and shot for Survivor because I stuck to my guns and never gave up when I was told the word “NO.”  I should be the first contestant to ever be on the show because I publicly stand up and write that I deserve my shot and chance to get on survivor because I didn’t lay down and die or give up when I was told “no” by Lynne Spillman casting director of Survivor.

                 The word “NO” made me blossom and grow and become a writer of humor and desire for the big dream.  I gained my position in reality World by being who and what I am with my drive. Why” again because I was told the word “NO.”  I hate the word “NO.” So when can a person like me get a yes or maybe out of Lynne Spillman and survivor.  Why would they want to shoot down the spirit and drive of a person like me. Dreamers are people who make the world come to life. Their spirit, heart and grit are unstoppable in the storm of life.

                 So, I deserve my chance to get on Survivor because I did not let the word “NO” from Lynne Spillman stop me. I feel I have proven this point more than any other person on the face of the earth who has ever had a dream to be on Survivor. Lynne you told me there wasn’t one person on the whole face of the earth that wanted to be on Survivor more than me. You said it was a sad thing.  You actually said it was a real shame.  The real shame is not giving me the chance to prove just exactly how much drive I have gained because I was once told “NO” by you.

               Will you casting people ever go out on a limb and give me my chance.  You go out and find complete strangers on the streets who have never seen Survivor and cast them.  I am a person who has worked hard because of the word “NO.”  Can’t I be the first person to ever be able to say I was blessed to be on Survivor because I would’nt let “NO” stop me from trying out for show no matter what barriers I had.

                I rest my case and I am absolutley sick of the word “NO” out of you Survivor people LOL!!

          Gloria looking bad and tough!! Remember my motto, “Humor is Healer of all Sorrows.”

By Gloria Query “Glo” gloriasroom@aol.com February 25, 2008

            I swaney I feel like I am the Survivor Guru of needed information!  All of you diehards have been absolutley wonderful to me.  I don’t know why all of you keep contacting me, because I am nothing but a witty humorist.  Yeppers I am the Biggest loser in Survivor history LOL!

            I get hundreds of e-mails from all over the country.  The other day I left for work and when I got back I had 867 e-mails related to Survivor.  I must let all of you diehards know that I am not connected to the Survivor Reality Show in any way. I am also not connected to Casting in any way.  But I do get fed Survivor information daily, through no fault of my own, but I guess because of my Survivor Humor!

             I have spoken personally with several “Diehards Who Want TO Make A Deal With Survivor Casting.”  So you all ask me to go out on a limb with my funny and wild side so here’s the deal .  Many Diehards throughout the country have tried out for Survivor for Years.  Many have tried out 10 times and more.  These Diehards want to pay their own way To Los Angeles and Stay Up at a Hotel Of your Choice at their own expense.  They want to just have 2 days of being in Los  Angeles To meet Survivor Casting for scheduled interviews.   They understand the casting process and how it works but they want Survivor to do something extra special for them because of their years of devotion and love of the show.  They want to show how serious they are about getting on the show, and are willing to pay their own expenses for your time and consideration. They all feel you scout throughout the country so why not let several hundred come to you at no expense to you what so ever.  The rule for these lucky few diehards has to be they have tried out for show 10 times or more and have scheduled permission to come by you at no expense to Survivor in any way. There are several hundred diehards who would come to Los Angeles and prove what they are made out of and their coming would prove their determination and love of the show.. Why not just throw a Diehard Party to really see their social skills LOL

           Ok I posted the wild idea you all wanted so good luck, but I truly have doubts that Survivor will listen to me.

            Good luck 800 who will be getting calls soon! Always, Gloria Query gloriasroom@aol.com`

I posted the wild idea so let’s see what happens LOL!!!

By Gloria Query, “Glo” gloriasroom@aol.com February 24, 2008

  Gloria Query in her backyard Jungle, because she never got to the Survivor Jungle LOL!!!!!

          I have my own opinions of Lynne Spillman, because once I wrote a letter To Mark Burnett Productions of why I thought I should be considered for the show. In my letter I stated that I had tried out for the show at that time 13 times.  I also talked about my family and all the hardships that had fallen upon us.  I talked about losses of husband, 2 brothers and a sister who had just been diagnosed with cancer.  I wrote this letter after a finale show back in 2006.  I had no idea that my letter would fall into the hands of Lynne Spillman, casting director of Survivor. To be truthful with you I couldn’t have even told you the name of Lynne Spillman because I never knew her or her position as casting Director of Survivor.  I had done like everyone else in the world or so I thought.  I kept a low profile and just sent in applications and tryout tapes and never tried any more than that strategy. Being quiet never did me any good, but being a loud tooter hasn’t done me any good either.

           But, after getting the call of interest from Lynne Spillman, I guess my spirits were lifted because I had been through so much tragedy.  I was just happy to be happy for the short moment and the big dream I had and wanted so much.  But, as I said before, my family had been through so much tragedy, and it was about to happen at the worst time in my life, right in the middle of my big dream for Survivor.  When I wrote the letter to Survivor, I had just got the call about my oldest sister Mary Kath having terminal cancer, right during the finale show. I wrote my letter, and poured my heart out about my family and about my dream to be on Survivor to change things for my children and mother who was also terminally ill.

             After the call from Lynne, I was flying on cloud nine.  It was time for “ME” to be happy and do something for my family who had been through so much.  I don’t know what happened to me but I came to life and my wings sprouted full force.  My playful nature came back to life.  I didn’t know it, but my playful nature and antics were going to destroy my dream forever.  Lynne called me several times, telling me things she needed such as a video tape to go with application I had sent.  Sometimes she called just letting me know she had received them through the mail. I shared a few things with her and we laughed and back to her work load she would go and I would continue to dream for the next call, the important call that I hoped I would make the cut for Survivor. During all this I became happy for the first time in years.  I sent her and her cast flowers for lifting my spirits and she called singing me a song on my answering machine thanking me for pretty flowers.  I felt anyone who could lift my spirits deserved something beautiful, but as usual everything I would do would backfire. I sent her a funny picture of me saying I was her next ultimate survivor, standing in jungle plants waving at her LOL! I mailed her some things about me in newspapers and etc.  Two weeks later my sister died after Lynne called me.  I called leaving 2 messages to Lynne that Mary Kath had died. I believe Lynne was on the road with casting calls. A month or so went by and I finally heard from Lynne.  She left a message on a Friday that she wanted to talk to me. I got off work, heard the message when I got home and was so excited to hear from her. I left several messages for her that weekend but never heard from her.  There were several times where she had actually called me from her cell phone in the past.   That Monday I had to do many things so all I had was my cheap Track phone with me.  It kept ringing but I got no response, I just knew it had to be Lynne.  So, I would be out doing errands and went bike riding and called her several times.  Well, she finally picked up and was mad as fire at me for calling so many times.  She said she didn’t have time for it and she just let me have it with both barrows.  She said sorry Gloria but you didn’t make the cut.  That was it just short and sweet, no sorry to hear about your sister dying, no question of how are you doing.  The fun and laughing Lynne Spillman I once had experienced was gone that day.  She never let me explain about my phone problem when she knew I had serious phone problems because of something very personal to me.

            I called and left a message on her office phone that night asking her to reconsider, that Survivor really didn’t know the real me.  I haven’t done any more or less than most other real diehard dreamers.  But, like I said before Gloria had sprouted wings and was happy again and was going to let Survivor know what a mistake they had made LOL! At least that is what I believed. LOL!

            Remember, as I said before I had lost my sister and was probably truly not over her loss.  I put on this big front that I was happy go lucky Gloria and could handle anything.  Truly I was at the end of my line and I was mad at life, mad at Lynne Spillman, and all I wanted was my big dream.  I said before, that this phone call from Lynne Spillman probably truly came at the worst part of my life, but as the saying goes that’s life and you have to handle what comes to you, whether you like it or not. I didn’t handle the “NO” from Lynne Spillman well at all.  Little did I know at that time but everything I did was going to backfire and make things evern worst for me and my big dream to get on Survivor. I wasn’t ever going to be blessed with a second chance to get on Survivor, and I wasn’t going to be able to prove my real self or be forgiven for my drive and antics to get on the show.  Everything I did, backfired and I am going to have to live with that busted dream forever.

            If the truth ever be told I never did anything that bad trying to get my way.  I sent Lynne flowers again saying this time would you consider changing your mind and letting me prove the real me to you and Survivor.  I got funny and released balloons with challenges to anyone who could change her mind and get me an interview that I would bless them with $500.00.  This got to WTKR news and they put me on top of their news building with this story releasing balloons and delivering the message. I sent in newspaper clippings of what happened after this airred on the news.  Somebody gave me a mercedes who found the story funny. I sent that article  to Lynne and Mark Burnett and ask them to autograph my car.  I had been miserable with death for 4 years and I was cutting loose as the saying goes and at the same time destroying my chance to ever get on Survivor.  I use to find money at a business I once owned and I even sent the paperwork and told them to get the big wig to go collect their free money at California Unclaimed Funds department.  Lynne called me back mad twice saying stop what you are doing.  Mark Burnett is mad at you. No, Mark Burnett was mad at her for opening up the heart strings of a woman with a big dream who was open and alive and hurt at the same time.   He didn’t want to deal with the crazy and fun antics of a woman who had finally seen the light of laughter and humor.  The money thing I sent in never was understood and isn’t understood to this day. Hey world, hey big shots, there’s free money out there you don’t know about it. Go claim it. The bigger you are the more you travel the more you might have and not even know it. I knew the big shot friend of Mark Burnett’s and told him to forward the information on to that individual.  That was a really bad thing for little ole me to do.  Instead of making jest of all this they took everything I did and just put me in a file of Nut cases. I even wrote a letter to Lynne saying I probably had been obsessive about things I wanted in life, and maybe i said obsessive disorder, but the truth is I don’t have any disorders.  A few months ago I e-mailed Lynne asking if I could talk to her.  She e-mailed me back with her number and I called and we talked, and I can tell you now that she does think I’m wacked so I went ahead and did the wacky thing I did which was tell her what I called her for in the first place LOL   Hell, we were at the point of no return for me and my dream so what the hell did I care what she thought of me.  She said I was the biggest wannabee Survivor on the face of the earth but that I would never be on the Survivor Reality show because I wrote her a letter saying I have BI-POLAR disorder. Well fans I want you to know I have never written her a letter saying I have bi-polar disorder, but may have written saying I have an obsessive personality and maybe put disorder behind it lol Who can remember everything they write when they have lost their sister, and their dam biggest dream at the same time. It’s a hell of a note that, that letter is being held over my head as being a nut forever after the tragedies I had been through. Who cares if I am driven or even slighty obsessive over something I want.  I have been driven and obsessive about every sport, and job I have had in my life and that is why my resume of live is unique. I excelled in all sports, and I was top in all my jobs as a cop, bounty hunter, car repo-lady and go-go-dancer.  Heck, I am probably the only woman in America who was a go-go-dancer and bounty hunter at the same time. When I use to go-go dance I would actually be seeking out clients on the run from bondsmen.  They would walk into the establishments I danced at many times and I was functioning with 2 jobs in one.  I would entertain them and be catching my man on the run at the same given time.  I was making double time as the saying goes. LOL  But, it was my unique idea and it worked well for many years.  The Bondsmen loved me working for them! (All you diehard fans have been very devoted to me and have wanted the true story and why, so now you have it!  I’m sorry, but I will Never be on Survivor, but I want all you diehards to know that I have tried with all the energy and faith that I have in me to change their opinion of me and give me a chance. I have never given up on my dream and I have kept faith that maybe someday their opinion of me would change, but it hasn’t and it won’t change. SORRY FANS!!)

           There is much more to this story, but I don’t even care to go over it all, but I will tell you that I have surfaced out of my shell.  Survivor may consider me a real NUT case but it’s their loss because I know the real me.  Survivor and the WORD “NO” to my dream made me fight again for things in life.  I have never liked anybody telling me “NO” to my dreams.  My “NO” just came at a bad time in my life and everything backfired.  I can’t undo what they truly think of me, but I can tell you this.  It’s better to be where I am now verses the tragedy of 2 years ago when I got that “NO” said to me.

             When I went on a charity run with the Survivors, we had a terrible tragedy occur.  I mentioned why don’ t you call Lynne Spillman and see if she has connections about making something better on this charity run since you are a Survivor.  That one Survivor  said I would never call Lynne Spillman and bother her.  Remember we are on a charity run to raise money for Foster Children and these Survivors are on the run. No, this survivor wanted to be on an all star show in the future and  didn’t want to get on the bad side of Lynne Spillman. This Survivor cared more for theirself than that charity run.  What I am trying to say is that I have been mad at Lynne Spillman for years but I don’t hate her. But, I truly am not afraid to call her if I want to.  After all I e-mailed her and ask if I could call and talk to her about something and she let me.  I don’t just dial the phone and say hey Lynne it’s me Gloria Query Biggest loser in Survivor history. I just don’t call out of the blue and say here I am. I respect her position and what she has to do.  I want to really just scream at her for her position about me and her belief about me but what dam good will that do.  But all of you have been really wanting to know the true story of why I am never going to be on Survivor.  The truth is I made a bad impression during a bad time in my life and they think I am a “NUT’ who has bi-polar disorder, acording to Lynne Spillman. I have never been able to disprove that belief or prove myself any different to Lynne Spillman, or Mark Burnett because I have never been given the chance.  My boyfriend was standing in the backyard a few months ago when I spoke to Lynne and he couldn’t believe what I told her.  Some of what I told her is personal but she can let that cat out of the bag if she ever chooses’s to do so but not I.  But, I started laughing, saying I do not have Bi-polar disorder and don’t have any disorder for that matter. She said I want to be on Survivor more than any person on the face of the earth but “YOU WILL NEVER BE ON SURVIVOR” because of this bi-polar disorder letter I wrote.  As a casting director I can’t let you be on Survivor because of it.  Give me a break Lynne, You have had people with disorders on the show, the McNulty girl who backed out was chosen and she had disorders or phobias LOL! Psychological testing is for people you need to know things about so don’t tell me that bunch of bunk!  I am not getting on Survivor because you messed up with me in a phone converstation, and now because of it Mark Burnett thinks I am a nut!  You calling me probably cornered you into a bad situaton because I am a woman with a lot of drive and I went for the gusto when I wanted what I want. But I have proven to be real and tell it like it is to you. You have never been truthful with me or given me the chance to prove the real me, so thats where me and Lynne Spillman stand.  I will never be a fan on the show and I have to live with it every day because I crossed a woman who got mad at me and now I am black balled forever from my dream.  Mark Burnett will never give me the time of day because of my drive and antics.  But, they know I am smart and driven and diehard fans I have become a writer and I avoided all the questions of this story for 2 years so now you have it.

       I respect Mark Burnett, but I will never have a dream because of bad timing.  I respect Lynne Spillman in most ways, but she still angers me in the arena of some things and only she knows what that is.  I’ve proven to be a better sport than most folks when the dream is lost, but I have spoken highly of Mark Burnett, Lynne Spillman and the Survivor show because I am loyal to the thought that it is the greatest reality show ever created for tv!

        I have proven my loyalty in writing and in my ideas last year to keep the show running.  Fans I did everything I could to be a good sport, but you wanted the true story so there it is.  BY Gloria Query gloriasroom@aol.com   remember my motto “Humor is Healer of All Sorrows!”

             But, to be honest with you I would enjoy sitting across the table drinking a soda, with Lynne Spillman, knocking knuckles with ideas I think are great for the show!  What is a girl to do??? I could tell Lynne anything!! Lynne______________________________________ fill in the sentence girl!

              Calls will be going out any day now and may have already gone out.  Good Luck to 800 people who will be granted an interview for the next Survivor Reality Show.  Whatever you do, be yourself and don’t put on any airs! Good Luck Diehards!  And Thank You Lynne Spillman for bringing me out of my shell, letting me sprout my wings of humor. Your call did do that for me!!!

    Gloria Query predicts the Ultimate Survivor winner of Survivor 16 Micronesia will be Eliza Orlins!

           I will try to post weekly  predictions of who I think will be voted off on weekly episodes.  I predict that Ami Cusack will be voted off on the Survivor Micronesia show that airs on February 28, 2008.

            In my writings I have never tried this idea of weekly Predictions but let me give it an old diehard shot.  I may very well be laughing, along with all you diehards laughing with me, but let’s see what happens week to week just for the fun of it.

            All you diehards can contact me with your opinions at gloriasroom@aol.com   Make sure to put Survivor in the subject line or I will not respond!

             It breaks my heart to say this but I truly think one of the favorites will take the number one spot and I predict Eliza Orlins to be the one to do it.  She is by no means one of my favorite contestants but that is my prediction at this date.

             All of us diehards want one of the fans to be the winner, but I am just not feeling that it willl happen. So, week to week, watch for my weekly Prediction of who I think will be voted off the Survivor Micronesia Show.  I am going to have fun with my Prediction forecast but I promise to be honest with what I think and Predict.

             Tell Mark Burnett to watch my weekly Predictions and tell Lynne Spillman, casting director to watch.  Since I am Survivor’s Biggest Loser and Dreamer who has never gotten on, maybe I can make them at least laugh with me weekly, with Predictions!  Remember my motto, “Humor Is Healer Of All Sorrows!”  So, now weekly I will use some of my humorous, inner energy and do weekly forecast Predictions by Gloria Query LOL!!

             Keep your eyes open for Gloria Query’s Jungle Talk Interview with Ricky Humphrey, diehard fan,  from Boston, Kentucky. I will be posting this article up in next few days. Until then my diehard dreamers, keep waiting for the big call getting ready to happen for 800 of you great diehards but never for me!

   Gloria Query and Big Tom Know They Are Ultimate Survivors! Make sure to get involved in Gloria Query’s “Jungle Talk Interviews Diehard Survivor Fans”

           Tonights show was a blast to watch.  Tribal council told it like it was.  Host, Jeff Probst didn’t have to dig for conversation because the favorites team was busting at the seams to let out their innermost thoughts.  Watching it was like being a fly on the wall, observing all the wild energy flying.  I knew before they even got to tribal council that hell was going to bust loose in the tribal coral LOL!

           Watching Jonathan was like watching a wild horse who has just been released to freedom.  He obviously had something on his mind and he couldn’t even contain himself for the magic moment to bust loose at the tribal coral.  Bust loose is exactly what he did, and he most certainly laid his opinions and guilt trip on Cirie.  He wasn’t happy with the alliance that Cirie broke with the five and he voiced his disgust and disappointment. He told Jeff Probst that certain swing voters were doing what they wanted to do, to take some control in the tribe and that their switch of votes wasn’t going to work for them. When time passes I think Jonathan’s opinion may very well come to past.

          At the same time, I have to give credit to Cirie. She didn’t take Jonathans opinions and accusations laying down.  She came back full blast with her own theories. She said she wasn’t there to please other members but to put herself in the situation which would most benefit herself, with further standing status.  But, Cirie as much as I like you, I believe that Jonathan may very well have been right about this decision you made.  Two couples are not going to consider you that important a player on their strategy to take it to the last five.  They all seriously consider you a weak link and you being voted off would not  upset any of them.  James is already over you, and in time he will voice his opinion to out you from the pack.

          Jonathan is not shy and he plundered right into the middle of the tribal party who were plotting there way to said victory.  He knew what he was doing and he deliberately tried to break up the party, because he wanted Cirie to keep her senses about what they were all suppose to do as a team alliance.  He gave it all he had, but Cirie was swayed and it will be interesting to see the outcome of all this swticherro of team alliances LOL!

         The “Favorites” camp will be a team full of angry players, who will be plotting their strategies against one another next week. I’m sure that Jonathan and Cirie will be voicing their anger against one another in front of team mates.  The team mates wil get sick of it and it will be anyones guess who will go next on this team.  I persoanlly hope Jonathan comes up with a new plan and sways someone.  He is definitely making the show fun to watch, but at the same time I can’t wait to see what Cirie has in store with all her Switcheoo strategies, and what will be her next surprise move in the game.  Maybe she will see her mistake, and come back with some humble apologies,  but knowing Cirie, I don’t think any apologies will occur on next weeks show.

          Looks like action is taking place on the “Fans” team.  Joel thinks, he has all his team mates in his pocket.  He thinks he has conrol of whats going to happen, but Miki is on the loose and is mad as hell.  Miki went right for the juggler and told Joel that he wasn’t using good sense voting the stronger players off like Mary so soon in the game.  Miki you are right with what you told Joel, but we all know you had the hots for Mary so you feel betrayed by your team mates and you’re mad as hell.  Miki just take it easy boy and move in slow with your strategy to get rid of big tough, strong man Joel.  Joel will wear his team mates thin very soon with all his bossiness and trying to show controlling leadership so soon in the game. Whatever you do Miki take it slow and take one small step at a time and you will have all the fuel you need to get rid of Joel.  Don’t try to over power him, just let him kill himslf in this game.  Team mates don’t like people who are over powering bullies trying to get their ways.  Don’t let the heart break you have for Mary destroy your spot in this game.  Let the heart strings go and push for the win of the million dollars young man.  You can call Mary after the show is over LOL

           Yeppers there is lot of action going on with these two teams.  Energy and emotion is flying in all directions, and thats why all us diehard fans love the show so much.  We all love the week to week interaction of players. We all love the challenge and adventure of what might and will happen next in this show.  The constant turn of events keeps us all entertained and interested in this week to week show.  All of us diehards are still dreaming the big dream thinking that each one of us should be the one on the show airring.  The calls for interviews will be going out soon to 800 lucky individuals who all have the same dream to be the next contestant on the Survivor Reality show.  We sit home week to week enjoying the show and keep dreaming for that one big call that can, might or will change our loves.  Be patient diehards, and good luck to all of you big dreamers. You could and might be the next contestant on the Survivor Reality show.  The pot of one million dollars might rest in your hands one day in the future.  Keep dreaming and believing in yourself, and whatever you diehards do never give up on your big dream.  Don’t forget to check in and read my articles time to time and always remember my motto, “Humor Is The Healer Of All Sorrows!”  Make sure to do something humorous tomorrow and make someone laugh, and brighten their spirits. Love all you Diehards and Talk to you all soon! Always, Gloria Query the “Glo” gloriasroom@aol.com   Don’t forget to get involved in “Gloria Query’s Jungle Talk Interviews.”  All diehards interested in their story being in the limelight e-mail me real soon!

Gloria Query’s Jungle Talk Interview with “Prayer Pact Buddy,” Virginia P. Her nickname is “Yahoo!”

   Virginia P. from Middle, Georgia is a 49 year old mother of 2 sons named Ben age 17 and Judson age 19.  She has had a long and blissful marriage to Stuart for 23 years.  Stuart isn’t as trusting as his wife Virginia so I promised to not use last name in this interview, to keep peace  on the homefront for these two. Virginia and Stuart met each other in a restaurant through mutual friends before their first date.  A few short weeks later Stuart called Virginia and the love story grew to a beautiful union between them and a much cherished family they have been blessed with.  Virginia said the love she has for her husband is intense and very loving!  While talking to her I was able to pick up on the strong connection and bond this family has.  Virginia and Stuart have done everything they can to bring the two boys up with great values. Judson, 19 is off to college but hasn’t decided on his college major yet.  The younger son Ben has graduated from High School and is attending an Arts School. You could tell while talking to Virginia that she is a grounded mother, who is proud of her Husband and sons.

          Before, I go further with this article I wish to explain the title of “Prayer Pact Buddy,” to all of you, so you will fully understand how important this woman Virginia P. is to me.  Virginia came into my life approximately 8 years ago at Suvirvor Reality tv chat sites.  Virginia and I use to just chat and have fun at the chat sites.  We use to have fun poking a little fun at each other, about who would be the strongest Survivor contestant if we either one ever got on the show. I use to say I will outlast, outplay and outwit you if we ever get on same show so give it up Virginia LOL! Before long, I found myself waiting for Virginia to come on at the chat sites.  Months went by with all the fun and joking and then it got to be real serious conversation between us.  I ask Virginia if she would trust me being given her e-mail address, because I had come up with a great idea.  She said sure and the e-mail address exchange occurred between us. From that very moment something was going to happen to change our lives.  We conversed with one another for months exchanging our thoughts and dreams about Survivor. We began to exchange personal information to one another and we knew about each others family. We knew about each others children, how many each of us had, their ages, what grades they were in at school and much more.  One day I told Virginia I had come up with a wonderful plan and would she take part in it.  She was anxious to hear me out on it.  I told her I wanted her to be my “Prayer Pact Buddy,” and that we would pray for each other to get on the Survivor show, that we would pray for each others families and that we would remain friends from afar, which we have done for 8 years.  We have talked a half a dozen times or so through the years, but most of our conversations have been through exchanges of e-mails. I found myself anxious to hear from Virginia, because she often brightened my spirits during difficult times.  There was a period of about 4 years when I was losing immediate family members every few months. Just to name a few I lost husband I had only been married to for 7 months, lost 2 brothers, a sister, brother-in-law, Sarge who was  like my step-father for over 30 years, mother-in-law and many other family members. Tragedy was hitting my family from every angle.  Back in 2006 I actually got my call of interest from Lynne Spillman casting director of Survivor.  She was real interested in my application and wanted my video sent in soon as possible.  Well as luck would have it my sister, Mary Kath died two weeks after that call.  My sister died, my mother was very ill and I didn’t get my dream to make the cut for Survivor.  I was at witts end and was devastated not to get on Survivor.  I just wanted to get away from all the tragedy and heart break.  I needed to get away and renew my energy forces.  But my prayer pact buddy was there with me through it all.  She e-mailed me, called me and said don’t give up Gloria you are a strong woman. Strong woman, hell I’m thinking!  I was over the whole world of death and tragedy all around me constantly.  I began to dread hearing the phone ring for fear another family member was probably on their death bed or had died!  Virginia e-mailed me and called me and helped pray for me to keep my sanity and witts.  She said you have so much strength, and you and I both know God has a reason for all these things happening in your life.  Little did I know at that time but my Prayer Pact Buddy was a real God-send in my life when I really needed it. I poured out my dread and hurt and pain to her.  I often shared how mad I was and how tired I was of trying to hold up face and be that humorous person that I am so much of LOL! I have always been a good sport but I didn’t want to be a good sport any longer.  I wanted my life to be the way I wanted and that was that. Virginia continued to put up with me through e-mails and kept me laughing!  She always said that we had a Prayer Pact and that God wasn’t going to let us down.  This prayer Pact thing even angered me at times, especially when I was devastated over not getting on Survivor.  Our Prayer Pact had something very special between us. If either of us ever got on we were going to meet each other and donate some money to the charity of our Buddys choice if we won on Survivor. Well, diehard Survivor fans, Virginia has been my “Prayer Pact Buddy,” for 8 years. We have been through thick and thin and she has been a driving force in my life to keep going.  There have been times when in last year or so that she has been bummed out and wanted to maybe just give up.  But that “Prayer Pact Buddy” thing is working.  We continue to try out for Survivor, knowing that God has a plan for us. We want to personally meet each other one day and we want Survivor to be a part of it for us, because the jokes about Survivor brought two wonderful woman together who have become friends from afar, yet we are not strangers in any way. Virginia says Gloria look at what has happened to you in last two years. You are a writer, in the limelight and people always turn to you for advice about Survivor and you have never been on show.  You have been blessed with charity motorcycle run with Survivors, and you got invited to become a writer about Survivor at onsurvivor.com  My Prayer Pact Buddy has helped me to open my eyes and know that my humor from my God is my driving force in life.  I have been slapped with so much tragedy that now I guess Humor has surfaced with full force.  I have a motto that is “Humor is Healer of all Sorrows” and I am living proof of that fact.  Survivor I can’t believe you don’t want to meet two woman like Virginia and I!  We have a story like no other in Survivor Reality history.  I am an outspoken woman and I feel you have misjudged two great women full of strengths.  Virginia is a great woman, and I am an outspoken woman who speaks her peace no matter who or what it is!  I have been an advocate of your show for years.  I write with truths and facts of what I feel and see. I am not right about everything I say about Survivor, but I am right about the following statement. It is a sad situation that Survivor doesn’t really know these 2 diehard Survivor fan women and who and what they are really made of.  We have earned our interview and I will never change that belief or fact of what I know.  We deserve our chance to really show you what we are all about.  Sometimes applications and videos miss the truth of what we are! There SURVIVOR, I have said how I really feel.  As usual you will just ignore us!  But, you will find some useless personality to put on besides us! (Anyway, I have stated my case and this is what my “Prayer Pact Buddy” means to me.  This interview is “OUR STORY!” A True and Heartfelt Story of two woman and their journey together and quest to get on Survivor and change their lives! It is a unique and blessed story of truth aand fact of two woman who found each other and became friends through the internet because of the Survivor reality Show, but most of all because of GOD!

         Well, Virginia as usual I have told it as it really is!  Virginia works at a Hospital Based Health and Fitness Center.  She is a Health Educater-Personal trainer-Fitness instructor.  She is a driving force as a professional who helps people to live a healthier, longer and better lifestyle. She loves her job and she loves to help people change their lifestyles so they can be healthier individuals in day to day living.

          Virginia went to Bryan County High School where she excelled in sports and loved drama. Virginia dosen’t know it but we are just alike in the arena of sports and drama. Virginia still actively participates in recreational volley-ball. she loves it and plays it regularly. Like her, I can be seen in my backyard, to this day, still shooting basketball through the old hoop that still stands in my backyard. Virginia and I do not let our age stop us from doing what we both love so much which is sports. Virginia is a medium swimmer, and I just learned how to swim in the summer of 2006. LOL!

       Virginia has a favorite Charity called the “Christian Life Center.” This charity hands out food to people in need every Tuesday and helps pay utility bills when there is some money in the pool to spare.  The Charity completely runs on community donations that come in.  If I get on Survivor this will be the charity I donate money to, because this was in our Prayer Pact Deal and this is her charity of choice. If she gets on and wins I want her to donate to the Multiple Schlerosis Society, because my daughter was diagnosed with that disease this past December, 2007. We will both do the right thing if getting on Survivor ever happens for us!  But for all people who want to donate to our charities please let us know and we will be glad to guide you to the place to do it.

       Virginia loves the Survivor reality Show because she loves the interaction between the contestants. She loves the challenge involved in the games, and she loves watching the week to week performance of the contestants.  When she watches Survivor on Thursday nights everybody has to leave her alone during that hour and her husband goes somewhere and plays his guitar I think she said. LOL! That hour has to be peace and quiet, because it is her private time to enjoy the show she so much loves.  If she is ever blessed to get on Survivor her oldest son Judson is the family member that will be chosen to visit her on show to participate in a game of challenge.  My family member will be my baby sister Denise because she has also been on same Quest to get on Survivor for 8 years! So Survivor, you have 3 diehard Survivor fans right here in this article. So open your eyes and interview all 3 of us LOL!!! I asked her about how her family feels about her quest to get on and she said her husband is worn out, wants her to go just to get him out of misery of hearing it ! LOL! Her two sons, when younger were anxious for her but have outgrown the everyday thought, but both would support her all the way she said.  Everybody is always worn out when it is a diehard Survivor fan in their family LOL! Mention Survivor tryouts around my house and you will see some of the kids throw their hands over their ears LOL!

          Virginia’s primary goal to be on show is for the interaction of challenge between her and other contestants.  She loves the challenge of it all and wants to actively participate to prove to herself and others that she can do it. Her secondary motivation is to be able to travel and have the experience of different cultures.

          I asked Virginia what she would say if Mark Burnett walked up and stood right beside her. She said she would say nice to meet you Mr. Burnett, tell him that Survivor is an awesome show and that she has enjoyed watching it for years.  I would say it is great to meet the great brain of reality TV!! LOL   She then said she would be great entertainment on his show if given the chance to participate as contestant. I would say it took you long enough  to come and see me Mr. Burnett LOL!  What can I do for you sir? LOL  All jokes aside I wonder what the two of us would really say if it happened? I ask her if she had ever talked to anyone at Survivor, she said yes just regular office staff who were distant and evasive.  A time or two, one or two were friendly but short with talking time LOL! Thats busy people for you at Survivor.  They are always busy and in such a rush, but after all they handle thousands of dreamers calling them weekly I suppose.

          What skills do you have for Survivor I ask her and she said I can lash and tie things together to build.  Again we are alike on that skill factor.  She can hunt and fish just like I.  She can build latrines just like I.  No wonder we are Prayer pact Buddies, we would be a great team on Survivor LOL!  She can build fires from scratch and so can I.  She can gather food and has been trained in survivor skills just like I. The list of skills goes on and on with us two women.  I have a past Special Forces man in my life and he has taught me even more than I already knew.  Life is a test for Virginia and I and our dream together. But, God is Good and has a plan for us one day.  We know we will meet one day, just how and when is the factor of question??? Will it or Could it be Survivor? I guess that is in God’s hands isn’t it Prayer Pact Buddy?

           Virginia and her family live on a farm in Middle, Georgia on about 200-300 acres of land adjoined to their in-laws farm. But she and her husand work so much there is no time for farming LOL!  They have many pets on this big acreage of land to roam on. They have 4 dogs, 3 cats and 6-8 guineas which are a type of farm bird which eat the insects and are talkers when danger arises. These birds alert the folks when something alarming is out and about as the saying goes. Not normal behaviors on the home front my grand daddy use to say!

        What would you say to Survivor if given the chance.  She said give real true diehards their chance.  Many real diehards are being over looked because of their drivien behaviors she said.  Diehards often stand out in the limelight and are overlooked as being crazy, because they are so driven.  Keep going I’m thinking about Virginia, she is really opening up here.  Eat the bullet and give us diehards our day to prove our Psychological  Structure I said. Yeppers she agreed with me on that one.  Then she shared a story about  a Georgia woman who made it to 50 finalist in Los Angeles and didn’t make it on show, because her Psychological testing came back as being TO SANE!! DO you hear me diehards TO Sane!! I was lmao as the expression goes and I knew I could pass that Psychologial with all factors they are wanting.  Overly driven, very strong willed, out spoken and even very humorous.  If nutty is in the cards I can hand out lots of nuttiness on playful plate of goods to be given when needed. I told Virginia that taking the Psychological test has never scared me in any, way shape or form. She said there was no fear there for her either. Psychological testing, TO SANE!!  This story will dwell on my mind for days to come with many questions! To sane means they do want a little craziness from us diehards huh? If any of you want to contact us about our story please e-mail me at gloriasroom@aol.com   We both would love to share our true and eventful story with you!

     Well, I am tired of writing for today diehard fans so I think I will go out for a cold brisk walk to open my mind full of questons and wonder!  Always remember my motto, “Humor is Healer of all Sorrows.” Do something funny today and make someone laugh!
