Cultural Differences

Probst tries to stick up for poor widdle Abi (would he do this for a guy in the same position?) and says that she seems to feel misunderstood and Abi says that she doesn't know how to explain herself any better and she's holding back tears from feeling alone. Probst tells Denise that Abi has no numbers and she's alone, so she seems like a perfect person to take to the end. Well, she has no numbers NOW. She has probably two or three jury votes easily and maybe more depending on what kind of final speech strategy she could come up with. In other words -- shut up, Probst. Denise goes in kind of a gross direction with her answer, which is that she doesn't want to take bad people to the finals. She only wants to play against good people. That's such a Big Brother answer. She should talk about competing against the best instead of putting it in moral terms. She's coming off as super smug here. She talks about previous seasons where people have taken "the dead weight, the unlikable person" to the finals and Abi interrupts and says that she didn't know she was unlikable. Well, YA ARE!

Denise continues that she was using examples from seasons past and not necessarily talking about Abi (she was) and Probst interrupts and wonders if Abi really didn't get that people didn't like her. Abi says that she really didn't and Probst says that he thinks that it really is a cultural difference. Abi just looks down and pouts. Probst goes back to Denise and asks her if she's claiming to be a good person. Denise says that she just doesn't believe in taking someone easy to beat to the finals and compares it to taking a poker novice to an expert game just to steal their money. Abi tells Denise she doesn't need to say anymore. Denise shuts up.

When Probst speaks up again, Abi says that she's never felt so much hatred. She's acting like a teenager. She's 32. Just wanted to remind you. Denise tries to smooth things over and says that it's not hatred -- its frustration and brings up Abi's behavior post-reward. Abi interrupts Denise. Denise asks if she can finish and then says that Abi was gloating and Abi interrupts again. Denise asks Abi to PLEASE let her finish. Abi rolls her eyes. Denise brings up how Abi said she was on strike and Abi interrupts AGAIN. Denise makes a fact to Probst like, "Do you see this?" I mean, Denise has been able to get one and a half sentences out each time before Abi interrupts, despite BEGGING Abi to let her finish. How many times in your life does someone say to you, "Can I finish?" Seriously... how many? And if someone does say it, don't you shut up for a while? Denise tries to explain how Abi is showing her lack of reading social cues right now and Abi interrupts again to complain that Denise is manipulating and using her therapist speak to curry favor with the jury. Note how it's never Abi's fault? It's never Abi's fault. She is a sociopath. Denise says that she's done. Abi rolls her eyes again and says she's feeling like an idiot because she doesn't pick up social cues, but she won't stop fighting.
