I am not sure what to do here. I feel lousy about this whole thing.

Fruitbat, it sounds like fun! I am going to guess too. I pick Michael.

Go MICHAEL Go

Poor Fruit!

Tis nothing. Such a small thing. The Web is the web. Unless you copyright a thing, which is expensive and takes time, it's a free for all.

There's nothing to stop another board from starting their own Game either.

I guess I will pick Colby. I am tempted to pick a chick, but what do I know.

Geez Louise...So much to do about nothing!

Can't a person belong to two discussion boards?...I like them both (my heart will always belong to TVCH)...I post here the most but I meander over to the other because Adven & Anna & Fruitbat & Wink crack me up...I feel like "Big Brother" is watching...This subject has made it into "The Game" even.

Geez!

Neil was gracious to the people running the other site...I read how he wanted to link to them...A class act our Neil...I hope they are returning the favor.

I'm geezing a few more times and picking anyone other than that police lady from NH to win Survivor...Don't get me started on her...

(Still on my soapbox but teetering).

Ok,

I've calmed down a tad. :)

Fruitbat...You have nothing to feel badly about.

Neil...You have a great site here...I'm happy to belong.

My Survivor pick: Alicia.

I'll put $ in the pot if we decide to do it that way.

@#$%!
I just saw that Fruitbat picked Alicia first...I was so "steamed" before...I missed it (fog on my glasses)...So, I'll find someone else to pick ASAP.

Can you pick someone that someone else already has???? If not only 16 can play. If the BG's can read this, would it be okay for them to pick from the house?? They will still be in when the show starts.

Okay, I'll take the cheerleader, Amber, here, too. There's no reason I can't be obnoxious on both boards.

Well I pick Alicia too unless I can't because she has been picked. I would like to see a woman win first of all and she has a great body that I strive for but never will attain second of all... Let the games begin!

Great idea Fruit and RR website!!! I'll definitely play, but won't post my choice until I've had time to read more about Survivor (definitely before Sunday). There's no such thing as a patent on an idea for a game by the way. I used to work in a Patent & Trade Mark Office for 4 years!!!

Have fun everyone - let the games begin. :)

My thought was to put a different spin on Nik's game here. Pick whomever you choose. Many can choose the same player.

Having said that I am unsure if I will contribute to this thread after this post. The dust has settled and I can see how Nik could be upset. This was her conception for her brand new and first (I think) website.

I acted impulsively, with total oblivian to the details. I did not stop to think it through. (this is a running family joke) I act before I think at sometimes. I was seized with the excitement of geting this board going in the new reality show arena.

Nikkid sent me a sweet email and understands my gaff. She still would like this thread deleted. Out of respect for her wishes, since I caused this mess, albiet unwittingly, I will refrain from joining in unless I hear further word from the other board.

I understand it may be legally OK to do this but I speak here of feelings and respect. Something I failed to consider before.

Thanks you for the support everyone. And a special hats off to you Adven. :)

Adven:

The CHEERLEADER? LMAO!

Hey, who knows? After all, what a strenous job that must be. All those leaps, and the splits... having to deal with great crowds of folks...

There might be a method to his madness, I tell you.

This entire thread amazes me. Let's see just how petty we can all get!!

I think Kel is going to win. So sue me....

I know, Digi. I'm not proud of selecting Amber. I just tend to gravitate toward women whose name starts with "A".

I haven't read the bios yet, but when I do, I will post my pick here. I have no time or interest in going to another site, this one is quite sufficient for me, thanks. And no one has a panacea, legally or personally, on who can root for any particular Survivor player. Good grief!

Fruit, if anyone's feelings have been hurt because you posted this thread, it's his/her problem, not yours. And, if respect means that once someone starts a discussion topic somewhere on the web, no one else can talk about the same thing without being disrespectful, then I say to heck with respect! THe only disrespectful thing about this would be if we started bashing what the other board was doing and vice-versa.

There's a saying: "Plagiarism is the sincerest form of flattery." That might be taking it a bit far in some circumstances, but not in this one. At least, that's my opinion.

Jeez.

Does this mean Nik and associates will sue Yahoo?

Film at 11!

Maire, I'm leaning towards Nick also. Hmmmm!

Nice looking group this time, isn't it?

Can't WAIT till it starts!

I'm sticking with the K's. Kel's gonna win it and Kimmi will be the first one off the show. I'd bet my allowance on it!

Dilli...there is some speculation on survivorsucks.com that Kimmi makes it quite far. This is based on a promo picture where her dark roots are showing a good 1/2 inch. That is a months growth.

I am with you on Alicia, Willi. The only troubling thing is that she is being billed as a loner. They are easy targets toward the end. A safe vote to say they don't feel as connected to her as the others. She could be viewed a competition once the teams merge too. Gretchen got booted for that very reason and Alicia looks quite capeable.

Everyone, thanks for your kind words and support. I have gotton enough feedback to rejoin this thread. It is not to say that I wish I had never done it! But what is done is done and Neil is keeping it. It is time to move on.

I'm going with Keith cause he's from Michigan and I want to honour Fruitbat.
