Moondance | Saturday, March 31, 2001 - 06:55 pm  Merlin... Great scenarios/theories Seamonkey... I heard a while back that Kel was busted with beefjerky before the adventure started ... apparently he had bought some in the airport ... they did the last inspection right before they boarded the last plane and found it... I was wondering if you heard this too. Also, they made a big deal about the Bjerky because Kel was caught 'doing' the jerky to himself in the woods... |
Misslibra | Saturday, March 31, 2001 - 07:45 pm  Moon, LMAO !! He's a growing young man, who needs all the jerky he can get! :-) (clipart isn't working at the moment) Ok here is another theory, I think they are going to go after Nick again, and I think he is going to win the IC. I have a feeling Amber is going to stick with her tribe, and they with her... for now, who is going to go after Roger. I don't think Amber will be going this time around. |
Riviere | Sunday, April 01, 2001 - 03:57 am  Well, I'm starting to see Jerri's little spoiler remark in her interview may be true, but I'm no closer to knowing WHO she was talking about.. It made her happy to vote against someone, apparent rehash of the "it's a game, it's not fair" remark Jerri made pre picnic.. Tina was the one on film who balked. But Colby embarrassed her a lot by rejections, and Jerri never liked Keith anyway.. Oh eeek! I didn't know she was so cold to Amber now, too.. Makes me still believe an Ogakor will make the final 2 or why would Jerri act so happy about her jury vote? I still say Amber's stupid not to make a sub alliance with Colby hoping he's stronger than K-T to win immunity since Amber has 0 votes and Colby needs a partner to split K-T. Amber getting even 3rd place that way is a lock.. Always said she's not as downright invisible and insipid as she's seemed so I'll find out soon.. Hey, we're one hour closer to Thursday now! :) |
Flint | Tuesday, April 03, 2001 - 06:12 pm  I would hope my team mates got amnesia, and would forget that I had been Jerri's side kick and yes-girl. Barring that, I would wonder if I should bend over and kiss my a$$ goodbye. |
Lancecrossfire | Tuesday, April 03, 2001 - 06:45 pm  LMAO!! That pretty much does it. |
Frisco92 | Tuesday, April 03, 2001 - 07:43 pm  Amber should join forces with Nick. They should vote with Elisabeth and Rodger and vote out Colby, Keith, and Tina. She should convince her old teammates she is voting with them and that they should vote for Rodger this time. Then of the remaining four, both Elisabeth and Rodger will have previous votes against them and in case of a tie they would be the ones to go. No one particularly cares for Nick on the jury, so Amber would have a better chance to win against him than anyone else. She could make a speech in front of the jury, that her teammates had turned against her first by voting out Jerri and that she was just "playing the game" to switch sides. |
Flint | Tuesday, April 03, 2001 - 07:44 pm  Leap; I don't think I would describe Amber as naive. Dim maybe, but not naive. She seems to be more of a follower than anything else. Which doesn't mean she is a bad person, just a sheep. (Of course calling her a sheep could cause some Aussie/Shepherd jokes to be told. Then again if she is a sheep...bahhhh hahhh) Of course that is just ... My 2 cents. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, April 03, 2001 - 08:38 pm  AmBORE AmBAHHHHHH
Go Keith!!! |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, April 04, 2001 - 04:48 am  Moon...I too have been perplexed about the Jerri/Amber cooling. There is information here. One reason could be that when all were on the jury Colby and Amber were cozy and she was jealous. This seems adolecent and unlikely. It could be as easy as, the bond they had didn't work outside the game. There is an age difference of almost 10 years. That is profound when one is 22. It could also mean that Amber stays until the end, or close to it, giving Jerri time to bond with Alicia more strongly and allowing Elizabeth and Amber to cement a friendship. Seamonkey....arrrrrgggg I missed Richard interviewing Jerri. When and where did that happen? I really wanted to see it but I gather he did not really push her. CBS must have control over this. Anything interesting? Where he conduct these interviews, I haven't seen any of them. |
Flint | Wednesday, April 04, 2001 - 06:31 am  Seamonkey; AmBAHHHHH. Oh god, I am still laughing!!! I wish I had thought of that one. |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, April 04, 2001 - 07:06 am  I just got that. (thanks Flint) Very good. I went to Richards web page at etonline.com and and read his interview with Jerri. Why is no one asking her about Amber? It is such an obvious question. "You and Amber were very close, are you in touch now?" It is a prominent topic on message boards as well. I am convinced there is a gag order on this. The question is why? |
Grooch | Wednesday, April 04, 2001 - 07:14 am  It's the hat. The hat is evil. The hat has hyptnotized everyone to not ask these questions. The only reason she got voted off, is because Colby's hat was stronger and able to protect him and the other players from her hat. The main question that I want answered, that no one is asking, is why didn't she cook the darn rice if she was so picky about it. That is the million $ question! |
Flint | Wednesday, April 04, 2001 - 10:16 am  The Hat is not evil. the hat is good. All hail the hat! *This post brought to you by Those Hypnotized by the Hat.* |
Rollerboy | Wednesday, April 04, 2001 - 10:27 am  Loved the AmBORE and AmBAHHH, Seamonkey . KEITH RULES!!! No hat proselytizing here Flint . |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, April 04, 2001 - 11:44 am  Ah.. well someone else came up with AmBORE and Flint definitely fueled my mind with his talk of Amber as a sheep.. bahhhh.. so.. I just put it together.. Hats hats hats.. Jerri's is evil because it was Jerri's. There isn't a "cool" hat in the group, imo.. Colby's is semi-dorky. Tina's is full-on dorky. Elisabeth's immunity hat is cute but not practical (I suspect she'd look cute in just about any hat). Mike's hat is credited with saving his face, so I'd say that is the most cherished hat. Keith rules!!  |
Wilsonatmd | Thursday, April 05, 2001 - 07:37 pm  Amber never watched "Let's Make A Deal" when she was a kid. You always go for the sure thing, not for what's in the box! But she got her revenge when she didn't get Montezuma's Revenge. |
Moondance | Thursday, April 05, 2001 - 09:15 pm  True Wilson! |
Seamonkey | Thursday, April 05, 2001 - 09:28 pm  That was sick tho.. river water.. The turkey dinner sharing by Tina and Elisabeth was smart and that cheeseburger had to be great. Aftereffects not so good. MB and JP must stay up nights scheming.. what can we reward them with that will knock them down? Also primed them to trade most anything for the rice an fishhooks... shelter was a good one since that is needed by all of them. |
Moondance | Thursday, April 05, 2001 - 09:34 pm  MB so wanted to get that flag... he has been peeved sense that got by him... he has stated in a couple of interviews! |
Lancecrossfire | Thursday, April 05, 2001 - 09:42 pm  I think getting that flag for him was a minor victory compared to the defeat of it getting by him. Of course being in control, he had to find a way to get it back. He could have just taken it at the beginning since the rules stated no luxury items that are for survival. (or told Colby to take it down as a survival item). One thing they have done in this version that they didn't do in the first---just about every reward has cost them something. I'm betting those other food rewards caused similar results. I thin Colby was sharp for picking the power bar and iced coffee. Figured to be the least affective on the stomach. He is pretty sharp about a lot of things, IMHO |
Moondance | Thursday, April 05, 2001 - 09:47 pm  I don't think victory was on MB's mind... he doesn't need that... he just wanted that flag! |
Lancecrossfire | Thursday, April 05, 2001 - 09:50 pm  Sorry--I should have said for him, getting that flag was a sort of victory. He made a mistake, and had to correct it. I'd say he's big into control. I bet Greg in S1 had him pulling at his hair. (just a guess) |
Moondance | Thursday, April 05, 2001 - 09:52 pm  I heard that Greg did drive him crazy! Yes I would say control is important to MrMB! |
Lancecrossfire | Thursday, April 05, 2001 - 10:08 pm  One thing I'll say for MB--I have a lot of respect for him not just being some producer who sits there and throws things at them just to punish them. He's been through the Eco-challenge experience, so he's done more than he's asking any of them to do. So he can't be faulted for not leading by example. I think MB takes the Survivor idea very seriously. I think that he would like the contestants to respect the game. Can't say I blame him. Not knowing the business very well, I wonder if something like Survivor can only be successful if there is total control involved. |
Moondance | Thursday, April 05, 2001 - 10:35 pm  I definitely think he found his calling! |
Fruitbat | Friday, April 06, 2001 - 12:46 am  It was interesting that the sugar items (power bar and candy) settled in their systems very well where the more substancial food did not. It is getting a little creepy. They are too weak. Elizabeth trembling is serious and I'll bet a doctor checked her out. MB is pushing the starving thing a bit far. They need some chicken broth and fruit. Brown rice would be better too. White rice has very little to offer, especially if it is the only thing they have. |
Frisco92 | Saturday, April 07, 2001 - 08:06 am  Amber still has a chance to switch sides. She must realize that Keith and Tina are a team and that Colby is the third member, which means that after they vote off Elisabeth and Rodger, she would be voted off unless she wins immunity, which is unlikely against Colby and Keith. She has a chance to be part of the last three instead of just the final four and she has a better chance at winning immunity against Elisabeth and Rodger, than she does against Colby or Keith. |
Lancecrossfire | Saturday, April 07, 2001 - 11:45 am  In the ICs, I'm not counting out Amber, Tina, or Elisabeth. While it's clear that at least this point their strength is down, the challenges can come in a number of forms. With Kelly winning 5 in a row on S1, I'm not banking on Colby or Keith taking most of them. All of these folks are strong willed and competitive. I think we will see some unexpected results in IC. |
Fruitbat | Saturday, April 07, 2001 - 12:19 pm  I agree Lance, and Ambers only chance to finnish in the final three is to join Rodger and Liz. She gets this, right? Someone tell me she gets this. |
Lancecrossfire | Saturday, April 07, 2001 - 01:56 pm  I see a possibility of Tina and Keith turning on Colby (or Tina and Colby turning on Keith) because of his good chances of doing well in any strength related ICs. Who better to take with them than Amber. I think jumping ship (old tribe-wise) at this point gets you nailed to the wall. The great thing about this is that any of the ideas we've come up with could happen. Makes for a great game and good shows. Damn, MB has us in the palm of his hand! (which is ok as long as he hasn't been using that palm for....well, never mind) |
Seamonkey | Saturday, April 07, 2001 - 02:41 pm  I did read that they are given vitamins. I thought that the peanut butter/chocolate item was good.. I know that even a small amount of peanut butter is pretty satisfying. But whoever had that, I think, had more to eat, so ended up running to the woods.. It does give me hope that Jerri also got the runs from her two reward gorges. I agree that white rice, while quite digestible, is pretty limited. I wonder if they could fry it? As for Amber and the rest.. I defintely agree that things can only be interesting from now on. Of course I'm easily amused.. I watched almost all of the PopStar episodes. Those people weren't starved but they certainly worked like crazy. |
