Ahh, Abi-Maria. What an interesting Survivor Second Chance castaway. I’d scratch my head and wonder how she got back on the show, but I’m thinking that’s more obvious than I originally imagined.

Abi was a pot stirrer in her first season and certainly was in her second one too. She made a comeback to entertain us and there’s no doubt that she added to the plot week after week. Whether she was accusing PG of trying to steal her bracelet or being the most unreliable, stress inducing ally, Abi-Maria Gomes was entertaining.

Now out of the Survivor Second Chance game she sat down for her “Day After” interview where she explained what was wrong with everyone around her. Yeah, it’s a tough clip to watch even at just a few minutes of duration but if you’re up to the challenge here’s what Abi had to say.

  1. Am I missing anything exciting on the video, I can’t get it. I don’t know how many of you are The Amazing Race fans but tonight is the finale, hoping the green team doesn’t win.

  2. Hi Mary; wish you could see the video only so you could get your own “gut” feeling about it. Abi is analyzing her game via her personality; for ex: I should have toned it down; I had a big target on my back so that wasn’t fair (paraphrased); the fans voted me back in, so I know they wanted me to bring some of my feistiness … She was just saying her usual stuff that makes you develop a hair ball in your throat! ?

    As to her coming in with a target on her back – HUH? Isn’t that true for any / all returning players because people know your gameplay … Sheeesh!

    But it does make me wonder – she’s right – fans voted her back. Where are her fans? I’m not being contentious, but I want to hear from one of her fans; do you love hating her? If you really love her, why? I’m not judging – each to his/her own!

  3. This is awesome Margaret thank you. I’m not a fan of hers and quite honestly I don’t even remember her from her first season. I’d like to hear from one of her fans as well.

  4. Oh, forgot to mention TAR – can’t believe it’s the finale tonight, but I’m with ya – NO green them for the win ?

  8. Me too! But TAR makes me so crazy – just never know if a taxi, or wrong choice of challenge will derail you. But in the end it’s so exciting to see the teams running to Phil and all the other teams are there clapping and cheering!

  9. I think you’re right; maybe the voting ballot had only names of contestants that were contacted before voting to see if they could commit to this filming schedule – I assume you have to clear your social, familial, career, medical appt calendars, etc. so by “default” or by majority votes, she got in (under the wire??) Whatever the circumstance, wish I had that kind of luck to win the Fla lottery! Ha!

  10. Oh my gosh, it must be so frustrating when a cabby gets lost or has to get gas. But what drives ME crazy is when they are eliminated or receive a time penalty because they didn’t read the whole challenge, it happens every season without fail.

  11. Mary, I’ve enjoyed you so very much. I hope you find a way to get Big Brother (USA) this summer. Captain is always great at showing Canadians how to watch it. I really hope to see you there. You’ve meant A LOT to me, my dearest Mary.

  12. I’ve enjoyed meeting you Sharona, you are a very special lady, you have such a kind heart. I always watch Big Brother but I have to admit I was on a different “spoiler” site but I will definitely be here with you my friend.

  13. that’s what I think. they say fans voted, but I think production put in some of their own picks

  14. could not finish the video. l heard enough. the editing must b out of this world if I were to perceive things like her.

  15. Exactly. Commitment is big deal. Also casting Abi for whatever reasons, creative value/dramatic purposes. They got the reactions they want. She was a bit polarizing, and that goes with Kass..I’ve seen the way they played the game…and I won’t for them. lol

  17. NO!!! I’ve got too many friends there but I’ve also made some great friends here as well. I hope it’s ok that I stay on both sites. You’ve made new friends here as well JO1 what will you do?

  18. Mary, I’m only teasing you. I will definitely be on BBB if Todd does it again. I will check out the new too! I’m hoping that Cat gets back in circulation and hooks me up for BBC. I love watching BB Canada! Miss Cat too :-(

  19. I miss Cat big time. I hope all my U.S, friends can watch BB Canada with me. I think it starts in March.

  20. Just to support your point: at the end of the video, Kass and Abi hug each other around the waist and say something like: yeah, we’re villains and villains never get a (fair?) chance or a real second chance – and then they clink glasses. Bub-bye Kass – Sayonara Abi – UGH. Can we vote for our least favorite survivor member? I think the (least favorite) winner should get a pair of those tennis shoes that people throw up into telephone wires! ? As a 2nd prize, I’ll donate my dog’s slimey, gnarly eaten rawhide bone!?

  25. Wasn’t it exciting? And I was thrilled that the last leg was Long Island ~~ my dear home sweet home. I’m with you Margaret, happy green team didn’t win.

  26. Abi was thrown in as a ‘wild’ card by production (((sounds as plausible as anything else, right? )))

  30. Forgive people ~ even those who are not sorry for their actions. Holding onto anger only hurts you, never them …

  31. Words to live by…aren’t they Cuddles? Forgiving people who ARE sorry for their actions is just as important for the soul. Not accepting apologizes, is just as hurtful and harmful to the soul.

  34. Good morning Talula! I’m just quickly catching up on all the latest posts, I’m going with a friend of mine to visit her Mom in a LTCF 2 hours away.

  35. loved TAR. big crybaby. I like confidence not cocky.
    man, that other chick was relentless over the cab-all the way to the end. talk about holding on to stuff.

  38. abi sure talked about owning up to ones faults the whole while not admitting to hers. she really thinks she was well behaved. heeheehee

  39. I’d have to say forgive even when they aren’t sorry. forgiveness isn’t for them, but for you/us

  40. safe travels. your gonna make someone happy w that visit. hey, I sent message but I’m not sure it went thru since I reopened my real fb and sent it from there.

  41. She’ll be embarrassed when she watches it all on tape after, they all will except the winning team.

  42. I’m so sorry, I hardly ever go on Fb so no I haven’t seen it but I promise I’ll look at it when I get home. Sorry about that Talula, I’ll talk to you later, we’re leaving soon and I have to try and get beautiful haha. Have a good day my friend.

  47. OMG – I think that’s this couples downfall – she harped, and carped and wouldn’t let it go! I thought we were going into a therapy session on Phil’s mat; actually I was embarrassed for them because she continued to be – what’s the word-on edge, blame full, impatient, in denial (like their relationship is do-able and he almost contradicted her but let it go. I wouldn’t be surprised if they break up.

    I really liked the final challenges; I mean all of them were based on the order of the countries they visited … Afraid to say too much more in case there are still some folks who haven’t seen the finale yet!

  48. Did you see how happy I was to see the reporters and NOT the green team!??? it was a good finale!

  49. Does Matt do BB Canada on his website? Love talkingBB with this group – you’re so much fun and it’s never a hostile environment!

  50. Well speaking of cab Karma – that was crazy last night that the cabbie didn’t know where Belmont was, had no phone/GPS to find out and refused to take the Green team. Then there was the Morgan incident, trying to take the other couples cab – loved it all. Who knew there could be so much drama over a cab (in the US no less!) in the finale!?

  52. Oh absolutely, Talula! I’ve been in a situation where I’ve apologized and apologized to someone who simply wouldn’t accept my apology, even though it was a misunderstanding. Sometimes you just have to let go, and move on. It broke my heart, but when things like that happen, you have to protect your own heart, too.

  53. I thought I heard someone outside my house cheering down the street … Was that you Talula Bell? ?

  54. Yes! It was exciting! I was on the edge of my seat in the final challenge; Kelsey & Joey were doing so good, then along come “The Greens” – I don’t get his sense or orientation about gamemenship – he couldn’t keep his mouth shut. And his overconfidence about this challenge being in Diana’s wheelhouse (or her tool shed) or whatever crazy thing he was yakking about. I think Mary (above) said how this game can hinge on a cab or a car – who knew, in this instance ithe lynchpin would be the Green’s judge saying one of their chairs weren’t right!

  55. Glenn Rhee!? Are you a TWD fan? Woot-woot. (My guess is you saw the TAR acronym and thought TWD?) Do you frequent TheSpoing Dead Fan Facebook website? Love it, but some commenters can get nasty although the Mods try to keep it under control – that’s why I love Matt’s sites because people here have a generally decent/nice convo and we can agree to agree or disagree without name calling!?

  65. you did your part. you tried to make amends and asked for forgiveness. their unforgiveness is their issue. not yours-as you know. you rock sharona

  66. did anyone pick up on her saying “golden key”? all I could think of was BB. cbs-don’t get any ideas. abi and BB…no. I’ve had enough of her

  70. Ha! Good one, Cyril—my dear, dear friend! Captain’s birthday is the 16th. OOPS! I did it again! Sorry, Captain…I forgot you didn’t want me to tell everyone that your b-day is the 16th of Dec….the night of the Survivor Finale….on Dec. 16th…the night of the Survivor Finale. Shoot! There I go again! Mentioning that you b-day is in 4 days…on Dec. 16th! So please, NO ONE wish Captain a “Happy Birthday” on Finale night of Survivor. :) (Dec. 16th)

  71. Cyril, you crack me up! SO glad you and I have the same type of humor, otherwise I’d have to flush you out of my life! Lol! Get it? Flu…oh, never mind. ;)

  73. Aw, Captain…so incredibly sweet of you! That made my day…it honestly did! I’ll email you later tonight, OK?

  75. Am I making you laugh because I messed up and reminded people that Captain’s b-day is on the 16th….of December? The night of the Survivor Finale? Aw, crap! There I go again! DO NOT remember that Captain’s birthday is on 4 days. Let’s see…that the 16th, right?

  76. Mary, Mary, Mary…it certainly has been a memorable one! Thank you so much for the wishes. You always make my heart smile (my face, too!). Love you, gal!

  77. UGH..really. :( Just kidding! It’s been a wonderful day; especially with all the “Happy Birthday’s” from my wonderful friends. It’s the best 54th b-day, EVER! Of course, it’s my only 54th b-day, ever. Thanks again, Talula…you’re so kind. :)

  80. REALLY? Well, we’ll have a LOT to celebrate on the 16th. Of December. SHOOT—there I go again!

  84. Wait…you mean we aren’t?! Uh-oh, better go delete some things…I thought it was OK to tell everyone. Doggone it!

  86. Oh, I am so beyond embarrassed- if I were an ostrich, I’d have my head in the ground!? You said about Glen being alive and he’s a fan fave. It just happens that on TWD, this character Glen is a fan fave and he nearly died – only for fans to learn weeks later he was alive! Oops!

  89. I was sooo happy that the Paparazzi couple didn’t win it, they were more annoying than the green team!

  90. For me it’s a loss-up, both teams were beyond annoying. Was I hearing things or did they announce there will be another TAR in Feb.?

  91. I’ll call it a tie. green girl wasn’t bad. hope she watches back and see those red flags w his behavior and handles them prior to marriage. paparazzi girl is a nag, but he had his nagging moments too. she harps and won’t let stuff go

  94. I tried to find something about that on line and by now you know how good I am with that haha, and I couldn’t find anything.

  95. Thank you JO1! (Let me apologize to my other friends first), but aren’t we hunters the best? :) You don’t have to tell me, but when was/is your day? If I missed it, hope it was wonderful…If it’s yet to come, may all your wishes come true!

  96. Thank you Sharona, mine is coming up, the 19th :-) My grandson turned 4 today and my sister and mom are also Sag…Love being a Sag!

  97. Thank you! On your other post, I meant to tell you how Incredible that there are so many Sagittarians in one family (yours)…but on second thought, that might not be the best thing…we can be pretty passionate in our beliefs!

  98. Thank you, Karen!! Can I have your car as a belated b-day present? Oh wait…you sold it. Well thanks A LOT, Karen! :-D

  100. Yes but this one is an off-scheduled one so there will be 3. Any special plans for your birthday TOMORROW?

  101. How was it off-scheduled ? Usually they are about at the same time than Survivor. Usually they both start after the Super Bowl.

    It’s not tomorrow. I fixed it on FB.

  102. I’m just going with what I thought I heard, they don’t usually have another TAR so close to the one just finished. Guess I’m wrong.

  105. That is true but thankfully we are pretty laid back in general. Stubborn is a good word I would use as well LOL

  106. Captain is correct Mary, It’s just that because of the cold and snow it seems much longer in between shows ;-)
