He <a href="http://www.towleroad.com/2009/02/gay-survivor-co.html" target="_blank">doesn&#8217;t like gay men who lisp</a>, he doesn&#8217;t like gay men who openly have crushes on straight guys; In fact, I&#8217;m surprised Thpenther&#8217;s last name isn&#8217;t Haggard as he thanks God he doesn&#8217;t &#8216;sound gay&#8217;:</p>
<blockquote><p>I don&#8217;t, like, come across, like, most of the gay guys but I am, so I&#8217;ll probably be, like-but then again, JP was gay and nobody knew that on the show; he was about the straightest I&#8217;ve ever seen. &#8230; But I won&#8217;t be Todd, I surely won&#8217;t be Coby. I won&#8217;t be Charlie. Holy shit. I talked to my parents and I was like, ‘Mom, do I sound like that?&#8217; she was like, ‘Sweetheart, no, I would never let you go out in public if you sounded like that.&#8217; Thank God.</p></blockquote>
<p>Like, totally.</p>
<p><span id="more-4231"></span>Oh, and by the way, have you seen any <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEafB5GQiRg" target="_blank">clips of Thpenther talking</a>? Girlfriend is gayer than he thinks.</p>
<p>Thpenther was also pissed about last season&#8217;s <a href="http://www.outsports.com/os/index.php/Entertainment/2008/Marathoner-Charlie-Herschel-is-latest-gay-Survivor.html" target="_blank">Charlie Herschel</a>, who <a href="http://www.towleroad.com/2009/02/gay-survivor-co.html" target="_blank">he claims embarrassed himself</a> with his crush on fellow competitor Marcus.</p>
<blockquote><p>Like, leave the man alone. Ugh. It just baffles me. Every time he opens his mouth it&#8217;s just like &#8216;I love Marcus, Marcus is great. I feel protective when he&#8217;s around. I feel nervous when he&#8217;s not around.&#8217; It&#8217;s kind of like alright you have a serious crush on him. This isn&#8217;t jokin. Stop. Just stop. I&#8217;m embarrassed for him. I know he&#8217;s gotta be sitting at home embarrassed, red-faced.</p></blockquote>
<p>Other genius revelations by the 19-year-old:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">On being an alternate for the show: &#8220;I&#8217;m praying for somebody to have some sort of psychological breakdown or a freak injury. Like, I&#8217;m thinking about pushing somebody off the edge.&#8221;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">On almost not making it on the show: &#8220;They have to have diversity, they have to people who are going to be apathetic, they have to have people who are sheltered, racial diversity. So I understand. It&#8217;s hard, yes, very hard. I just don&#8217;t see why I can&#8217;t have my spot, why I&#8217;m missing from the puzzle.&#8221;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">On his Univ. of Florida crew team: &#8220;We walk around in spandex bottoms-shirtless, spandex, nobody cares. We have ripped guys on my team, but I&#8217;m not like *boing* all day long.&#8221;</p>
<p>Thpenther, your lisp may be minimal, but please, for your own sake, stop talking!!</p>
<p>I really liked Charlie. I&#8217;d met him before, he is a sweet guy, he&#8217;s genuine, and he&#8217;s really warm and welcoming. But about Thpenther, I couldn&#8217;t have said it better than Thpenther himself when <a href="http://www.realityblurred.com/realitytv/archives/survivor_tocantins/2009_Feb_11_spencer_duhm" target="_blank">he talked to Reality Blurred</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>If there&#8217;s nobody else to vote out, just vote out the immature kid.</p></blockquote>
