I don't see this in either of the articles you posted. I also never heard anyone speak badly of Yau.

I didn't either . I did see this:

It was the reversal of Dreamz's word to Yau-Man that revealed something unexpected about Dreamz, 25, a high school dropout who lived on the streets and later earned his GED.

"He told me when he got back he was conniving, ruthless," said Terrance Butler, 24, a friend from New Hanover High School. He told Dreamz he didn't believe him.

But Butler soon saw another side of Dreamz and joked he was a horrible person.

"I love him for how he played the game. He was never like that. He's never been like that," he said about Dreamz breaking his word. "His word is his bond.


The way I read that, it seems to me that dreamz was talking about himself, but maybe I read it wrong?

if Dreamz is speaking bad of Yau it's probably b/c he felt guilty for what he did.

I think the quote about being coniving and ruthless was Dreamz talking about himself and his friend didn't believe him b/c that is not how Dreamz usually is.

What is it w/ his family and the nicknames? Suga, Dremz and squirrl.

The thing about nicknames....(please do not blast me). Dreamz is from the projects here. Unfortunately a lot of kids here make themselves slang "gang" names that stick. He himsself picked out "dreamz" because of the dreams they had when they were young to find a better life. This is his bio: http://www.poptower.com/tv/reality/s...a-dre-herd.htm

Thats how I was reading it too, but I wanted to make sure I was understanding it right.

[QUOTE=TxGreek;95583951]They did give him one on one time and that's when he said he WAS giving the idol to Yau. He said he wanted to be a role model for his son.

What I meant was it would have been nice to see Dreamz come clean in the one on one time and admit then that he wasn't going to give the idol up. Like you see others do on this show (or if you watch big brother they do it a lot in the diary room) They talk stratidgy and admit to trying to get one over on some one else.

Thanks Cathy I figured it had something to do w/ his time on the street. I think Squirrle was the one that threw me the most. I get Dreamz reasoning though.

It's possible he did, but how suspenseful would tribal have been if we all already knew what he was going to do?

good point. There is a lot of editing on the show and we get to see what the producers want us to see.
