Grooch | Wednesday, April 04, 2001 - 08:31 am  Does anybody want to play? I figure to make it so people can stay in the game longer, you get to pick 2 people who might get booted off. You only have to get one right to stay in the game. Also, in case there are still a lot of people left in the game at the end of the series, you need to pick who you think will be the winner at the end of the game. Your choice cannot change after tonight's show. Whoever's choice for winner lasted the longest, that will determine the tiebreaker. Start picking! |
Moondance | Wednesday, April 04, 2001 - 01:08 pm  Promise to play next week.. I need another week to get more of a feel of the players etc |
Grooch | Wednesday, April 04, 2001 - 02:28 pm  Thanks Moondance. It's probably for the best anyhow. I know everyone would pick Meyer this week and you know he's gotta go! Hee, Hee, Hee! |
Lancecrossfire | Wednesday, April 04, 2001 - 02:41 pm  Grooch, are you asking us to pick a winner or who gets booted? |
Grooch | Wednesday, April 04, 2001 - 02:46 pm  You have to pick who you think will get booted. You get to guesses, but only need 1 correct one. Picking the ultimate winner would only be used at the end of the game as a tiebreaker, if there was more than one winner at the end. It's so late now,it's probably best to wait till next week. The boards seem quiet today. |
Grooch | Wednesday, April 04, 2001 - 02:51 pm  For example, I would Pick either Meyer or Harr to get booted this week. Meyer for obvious reasons, or Harr because she has the pulled groin muscle and I can't believe she can keep going on. And Puba (sp?) for the win! |
Max | Wednesday, April 04, 2001 - 03:12 pm  1. Meyer 2. Harr |
Moondance | Wednesday, April 04, 2001 - 03:20 pm  Grooch if I had to choose this week I would go with Meyer and Haar also... Puba to win... only because these are the only three I really know |
Lancecrossfire | Wednesday, April 04, 2001 - 03:24 pm  Oh, damn--Meyer and Haar will be my picks to have one of them get booted. Whitlow for the win. |
Lancecrossfire | Wednesday, April 04, 2001 - 03:42 pm  Whitlow was the one woman who saw through Meyer. I respect that. Also as an accomplished triathlete, I think she has what it takes both physically and mentally to handle this. The biggest factor for most will be the mental part of it, IMHO. I also respect the heart that Haar has for this. She won't walk out on this game no matter how tough it gets for her. I think she's there to show herself something. |
Moondance | Wednesday, April 04, 2001 - 03:54 pm  I like Haar too, she has a lot of heart!... I will look for Whitlow tonight... I am not real familiar with names and faces yet. |
Leap | Wednesday, April 04, 2001 - 05:37 pm  To Go: Meyer or Haar To Win: Hutak (not sure of spelling) |
Lancecrossfire | Wednesday, April 04, 2001 - 10:35 pm  Well, at least I'm in this one, even though I was out of the Survivor one after only one try. It was presented that Pupo didn't fit in too well. Amazing out the editing--last week this wasn't even mentioned, although it sounds like it's been going on since the first day. Haar was picked by most everyone. Kind of hard to not kick off the wounded, as in this game that makes a big difference in how things go. Too bad it works that way, as heart and grit make for a good team mate as well. |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, April 04, 2001 - 11:31 pm  Heart and grit count for much, but not over a short timeframe and with a prize at stake. I didn't get into this game since I didn't look here soon enough this week. Would have guessed Haar and Meyer and would have been hoping Meyer would be ousted. But, early into the episode you could see that he was manipulating everyone. |
Grooch | Thursday, April 05, 2001 - 09:02 am  OK, Everyone made it this week! But it was an easy choice. D*mn! I picked Pupo for the win. They didn't show anything bad about her personality though. The problem w/ this show is that I don't want to see any of them go. I even like the balloon guy. I hope he makes it. I was cracking up when the DI was saying there's always one Gomer Pyle in every crowd. But I do feel bad for him and his family if they were watching him say that. Go Gomer! P.S. Since this thread started posting late last night, do the people who played last night (Max, Moondance, Lance & Leap) want to make last night a practice and let others join in for next week? I don't mind either way. It's up to you. |
Lancecrossfire | Thursday, April 05, 2001 - 09:06 am  You had said it's better to start next week at the beginning of the thread. Besides, the more competition the better. Open the flood gates! |
Leap | Thursday, April 05, 2001 - 09:07 am  the more the merrier |
Karuuna | Thursday, April 05, 2001 - 11:18 am  Heart and grit may make for good teammates, Lance, but I'm not surprised that they are voting the weak off. In Survivor, strength matters to win challenges in the team mode, but there's no strenuous penalty imposed if you lose -- primarily you just don't get the benefits of the win. But here a *punishment* is incurred for not completing missions. And when ur already being pushed to the max physically, the punishment may be a bigger incentive to win, than the rewards! I'm sure while voting they couldn't help but think that if they had more help on this mission, they would have had a better chance of completing it. Frankly, I probably would have agreed with them!  |
Moondance | Thursday, April 05, 2001 - 05:33 pm  Grooch, yes, let everyone play Whitlow was impressive last night Lance... I am thinking Wolf will go soon ... if not I will vote him out personally ... what arrogance he has ... right up there with Meyers! |
Lancecrossfire | Thursday, April 05, 2001 - 05:57 pm  I agree about Wolf having some arrogance going on. One of the things I don't get as bothered about when someone spouts off, is if they have been able to back up their positive comments with actions. I have no problem with Michael Jordan saying he's a great basketball player--as it's true. In the context that Wolf was talking last night, I agree with him that he did lead the squad to success, did so fairly well, and I think they may appreciate his effort more now that they have a failure. He may have gotten a bit carried away with how good he is otherwise, although so far in the game he's showing to be doing very well. I admit I do like the quieter more reserved strong successful type, although if you've been successful, saying it isn't a crime for me. Wolf may go soon with his approach because he brings so much attention to himself. I'll give him credit for one thing--he gets in there, tries his hardest on everything, and makes no excuses for himself. If he'd just shut up, I think he'd be a more affective leader. As a leader, you are held responsible for the success or failure of the mission. If you succeed, you place your team mates in the brightest possible light, and give them the credit for the win. He didn't do that. (at least not to the camera) That may cost him as well. IMHO Meyer's bragging is more about pulling the wool over someone, jerking them around, etc. While it's true he's doing it, I'm not at all impressed with his approach. He really isn't doing everything well, which includes being a team player. As soon as you start lying to your team mates, manipulating them, etc, you aren't a team player. For me, Whitlow is the type of person I'd want on my team. Competitive, focused, strong willed, mentally tough. Physically tough as well, with good strength (pound for pound, probably as strong or stronger than anyone), very agile, and great stamina. She also is able to be team oriented when needed, and can shine as an individual as needed. We haven't seen how well she leads, although I'd be surprised if she hesitates too long or freezes under pressure. We shall see though, as that one hasn't been tested yet. |
Moondance | Thursday, April 05, 2001 - 06:45 pm  I agree that Wolf did a good job but I do think the mission was a bit different and harder... Also good point about him taking the credit and not giving praise as a team ... he doesn't seem like a very good team player ... too busy worrying about Meyers all the time. In the preview for next week it shows the women joining together in an alliance ... so Wolf might be the one to go ... he could ruffle their feathers more than most... Thompson had a good start but now he has been in Medical leave, he is in jeopardy as well. On another note... I wish 8:00 would get here, I can't wait for Survivor |
Lancecrossfire | Thursday, April 05, 2001 - 09:47 pm  Is it Thursday yet?? (next Thursday) Ok, is is Tuesday yet? That medical stuff will kill a person in this game. Go Whitlow!! |
Twiggyish | Friday, April 06, 2001 - 06:13 pm  I just found out Katie Coddington's parents live in my hometown. She lives in Tallahassee right now. But, I am going to root for her. Funny, we haven't seen too much of her on the show. |
Moondance | Monday, April 09, 2001 - 07:54 pm  That's cool Twiggy! Okay, I keep seeing a commercial showing Tompson(sp?) ... he is put back in the medics and they show some of them crying ... another performance by Meyers... the announcer says something like life threatening and heart attack so I am thinking he will be one of them to go. |
Lancecrossfire | Monday, April 09, 2001 - 10:07 pm  Ok, my pick for tomorrow night. Thomson will go by injury or by being voted out because of his problems. If he's voted out, I'm not sure who he'd take down with him. If he's not voted out, I think Hutak will be voted out because the guys are concerned about her physical ability, yet will say she can't lead. So: Thomson and Hutak |
