Pick a winner!
The ClubHouse: Boot Camp: Pick a winner!
Max | Wednesday, March 28, 2001 - 09:09 pm  First show is running here now. After you've watched the first episode (and I'm LOVING this after the first 10 minutes), name your pick to win. Remember, you're going to have to defend your choice as things go along, just like in the Survivor thread! I'll post my pick after I finish watching this first episode.

Digilady | Wednesday, March 28, 2001 - 09:37 pm  Oh lord! Like I remember any of those names at all. But wasn't it cool? Let's see. I pick the guy who almost got the boot. Meyer! I always pick losers who I think will win. This time, I'm picking a loser I think will lose, therefore he'll win. How's that for logic? GO Meyer! |
Max | Wednesday, March 28, 2001 - 10:02 pm  This is just TOO much fun! I think I'll go for Moretty (the gal). For the first few votes, I'm betting the women will be picking off the men (with Meyer's manipulation trying to save himself helping things along). After that, I'm betting that Moretty has the saavy to win over enough folks and stay strong through the physical aspects. It's always nice to have a clear-cut player you love to hate and Meyer is sure it on this show! The part he's underestimated is where the dismissed recruit gets to pick someone else to go. I think that will do him in pretty quickly. He's not fooling the men, for the most part. Go Moretty (Jennifer)!! |
Leap | Wednesday, March 28, 2001 - 10:07 pm  I can't remember all their names either. But, I really liked the show. The yelling was a little irritating at first, but I got used to it. Of course, I would like a chick to win. According to the fox web site, Coddington enjoys collecting Beanie Babies, so she is not my pick to win. From their bios on the site, I like Brown and Hutak. I guess I will pick Hutak to win since she is a triathlete. The boot camp site seems to have lots of issues. It periodically displays broken links. Regarding Meyer - I am with him. I think it is great that he wants to have fun. And, I love the fact he is always trying to manipulate people. It is a game, after all. |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, March 28, 2001 - 10:41 pm  Bio-wise, Hutak the triathelete. If she can stay alive, the hogfarmer has heart Meyer.. well he's definitely filling the slot of lovetohate already and.. I'm lovin' hatin' him. Too bad that woman defected.. I think Meyer would have been chosen to leave with the guy voted out. I kind of like the one with the funny haircut and the blue blue eyes too.. female. |
Noslonna | Wednesday, March 28, 2001 - 11:14 pm  Meyer That guy is too much.  |
Guruchaz | Thursday, March 29, 2001 - 01:28 am  Well, the guy that got booted today didn't really deserve to go. I'm sure the network put troublemaker Meyer in there for a reason. We'll see in the coming weeks if he gets booted or is a staged presence. That was amazing spirit shown by the older lady in the group today. I hope she stays. This is an intense boot camp and will test the mental bounds of all involved. Some crack early and some don't. |
Twiggyish | Thursday, March 29, 2001 - 06:03 am  Ok, I think this guy is called Moretti, the one who loves his wife!..Yup, I am sentimental. I like him a lot. I hate Meyers. But, Richard Hatch would probably say he plays the game well. I like this game a lot, though. The drill instructors are strict, but they seem to have a heart. (I loved how they encouraged Haar) |
Norwican | Thursday, March 29, 2001 - 07:43 am  I'll go for the balloon animal recruit... I have no clue about their names yet |
Grooch | Thursday, March 29, 2001 - 08:57 am  I'm going with Pupo. I really liked it when Meyer was doing his crying act and she turned around and told him he better knock it off. I think she was the only female who didn't fall for the "Oh, everyone deserves a second chance" routine. She's a public defender who grew up in Miami (where I'm living now) so she has to be one tough cookie with alot of street smarts. She probably deals with a Meyer everday at work. On another note, I hope Meyers stays (but not win). Just because I'm hoping maybe this might do him some good and maybe he'll learn somthing after awhile (You know, everyone deserves a second chance....) Plus it's a learning experience to see how manipulating he is and lies to everyones face. I have a lot of people like that at work, so I need to learn to not to fall for that crap. |
Max | Thursday, March 29, 2001 - 09:35 am  I really should have picked Haar, just because I think anyone who has that much determination is a winner. But I don't think she'll make it all the way. I think at some point the others will think they are doing her a favor by relieving her of the physical hardships the game presents. Ya gotta love her, though! And yes, it was wonderful how the drill instructors were running with Haar and encouraging her and how the squad leader came back to run in with her and how everyone else cheered her on. That's what teamwork is all about. I wouldn't want to have to deal with anyone like Meyer,but he does provide some tension in this group that's sort of interesting. I don't think the drill instructors will buy his act for long. I also think he'll be the first to be picked by the next dismissed recruit to go. His strategy seems to have forgotten that aspect of the game. |
Seamonkey | Thursday, March 29, 2001 - 02:56 pm  I think if they hadn't had the immediate bailout, Meyer would have been gone as the one chosen by the dismissed one.. Haar, as I sad above (pig farmer), definitely is who I'll be rooting for (yikes.. terrible pun and not even meant to be). Meyer is a jerk. |
Twiggyish | Thursday, March 29, 2001 - 03:10 pm  Grooch, Pupo said something about laying low for a while..good strategy. I live in FL, too..by the way. |
Moondance | Thursday, March 29, 2001 - 06:38 pm  Moretti (sp?) he loves his wife and is a personal trainer... good combo I liked Pupo too and what heart and soul Haar has! Grooch... I agree, let Meyers stay awhile... he might learn something as he gets his ass kicked |
