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!!

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”??????
