Ok everyone, here is my quick post, hope you don't mind. I am worried these things have been discussed elsewhere but I wanted to get in my 2 cents since I have about $100 to burn with my being off for a little while.

Who will win? Who is well liked? WHO KNOWS???

I like survivor, I watch it, but I also know that its edited all to heck. I remember the little recap show mid-way through where we discovered the alliance between Keith, Tina and Colby. GEE - apparently that lil thing came along very early but CBS never let us know about it.

So who is well liked, who will go? Who knows, there might be some real buddy buddy stuff between Colby and Keith none of us see (forget the 'game over' between Colby and Ketih comment Colby made, because he voted along the party line that night).

I like(d) BB because all of US (the net watchers) knew all the details, the show was usually boring for us because we already knew everythign they would show. So while I have watched Survivor, The Mole, Boot Camp, etc etc etc, I also know now how much the producers shape the content for ratings.

Anyways, my 2 cents.

And my Prediction:

Unless Elisabeth gets immunity she is gone.

Then whomever lasts between the 3 remaining people I predict Tina if she makes the final 2. If not - then Colby.

If Elisabeth, by some miracle gets immunity then all she needs to do is make the final 2 to win it all (fat chance).

there ya go - discuss........

I totally agree with you about Survivor vs. BB. Survivor is fun, but I felt for a long time that it is totally scripted and managed, including the current interviews back in the U.S. I don't trust much of it.

I think Elisabeth will win. Right now she is probably the underdog for going all the way- thats why I like her. I think maybe she'll win immunity this week. I hope so, anyway.

Ryn, you gonna try the BB-Australia? It looks good.

I'll have to check out the links for BB-Australia, I think I'll try and watch it, if the live feeds don't break up to terribly bad.

I think Sweet Elisabeth will be voted out. But just in case she does get immunity, I think Colby will be voted out.

Tina and Keith seems closer to me then Colby and Keith. Colby I think is to wishy washy for Keith and Tina.

But then in that scenario Bessy, and Colby could decide to vote against Keith, and in that case it will be a tie. And I'm not sure how many votes Colby has, but I think it could come down to a tie breaker between Colby and Keith if Bessy gets immunity.

I can't wait until BB starts again too. Ryn, I miss your riveting live feed post. And Scribe was another good poster, so was Nos

I think in ss3 they need 24/7 live feeds! Watch them starve in real time... lol but it would allow us to see the backstabbing and stuff that really goes on:)

Yeah Moon, that's a great ideal. We should email the show and tell them we would like to see the show 24/7. I think i'm going to do that seriously.

AIEEE!! me too.. they should contact the Africam people about outdoor live feeds.. they had to deal with packs of vervet monkeys who would arrive
at dawn, swarm up to the cam in a tree or post and
suddenly you'd see a monkey face in the cam or a tail or whatever... and then the cam would be showing sky or ground.

They've also had elephants staring right into a cam, or giraffe..

I thought of them because rumor has it that Survivor III will be in Kenya and I did notice on one of the calls for applicants, an elephant in the logo.

I liked BB a lot despite the slamming it got. Since I only have Webtv at home and am far too busy at work to watch live feeds I had depended on the "play by play" by the folks here in the clubhouse - take it from a lurker, it was greatly appreciated.

But I see Survivor as a different animal. While I would like to see more footage, it would likely be more of the same. How much footage do we nedd to see of survivors staring into the fire or waiting out the rain? Yes, they could show us a lot more of the alliance building and strategy leading up to tribal counsel, but that might also take away a lot of the suspense. That kind of footage would be interesting to watch in a "Survivor Unplugged" type video set perhaps.

Has anyone seen the S1 video which purports to have a lot of additional footage? If so, what kind of extra stuff does it show?

I liked BB better because it was easier to get to know the people. Even though I like the people on S2 better than S1 I don't feel as if I really know them well (except my sweet Rodger and Elisabeth). On BB I got the to know some of the houseguests, especially through the live feed updates which I read religiously. I even went back and read them all again in November when BB had started to fade from my memory a bit. That being said, a couple of the hg will always be a mystery to me. It's too bad they couldn't have a BB with hidden cameras so the people wouldn't be so concerned about image.

I, too, would like to see a lot more footage of Survivor if it was more of the interpersonal relationships. More, moping in the rain I don't need.

Glad to see that Ryn is back..of course I know who Ryn is. I read the live feeds twice, remember?? I was stuck in bed, what can I say?

Yea Snave was a excellent live feeder. His post were always so funny, and Max of course was her wonderful self.

It would seem that they would release a uncut version of Survivor, without us asking them to.

I don't care if they slammed BB, I liked it. The problem with the people who slammed BB is that they never came to this site. If they had of maybe they would of found more interest in the show.

This site I feel help BB to be a lot more entertaining. I don't think I would of like it as much if it wasn't for this site, and the great job they did on the live feeds.

I have to agree with you on what makes Survivor and BB different, Ryn. That is without even getting into the is Survivor REALLY about survival question which has been beat to death in other threads. No need to flog the dead hat here.

I am still hoping Elisabeth survives to the end. But since it is a game, unless the others are stupid and definitely want to be second place, she will be gone.
