Seamonkey | Wednesday, April 04, 2001 - 11:37 pm  Juju.. no they didn't show that warning when we saw that episode. I suspect it was when that one viewed that the uproar started. My opinion is that the Survivor organization should have been up on the rules, but whoever allowed them to land the helicopter there seems to have dropped the ball as well. Perhaps Colby should have known, but I guess he didn't. |
Enb | Friday, April 06, 2001 - 12:11 pm  I'm sure he cheated in the FIRE challenge by scooping up sand along with his water to weigh the water bucket down. He was trailing miserably, couldn't even get his fire going then somehow he won! That's BS. |
Rollerboy | Friday, April 06, 2001 - 12:20 pm  I never thought of that Enb. Great idea. I wondered how Nick could be that far ahead and still lose. |
Noslonna | Friday, April 06, 2001 - 12:29 pm  He spent more time building a bigger fire. The flames were much higher and therefore lit the fuse first. |
Fruitbat | Friday, April 06, 2001 - 01:00 pm  It was absolutely his larger fire that got him the win. His fire bucket did not have to go as high and he saw this immediately and took the time to get a larger one going. If he was using sand also, very nifty idea. If no one said not to then all is fair. I assume they were told they could not plug the hole. |
Karuuna | Friday, April 06, 2001 - 01:23 pm  I think it's hard to really know how quickly folks were running back and forth to fill that water bucket because of the editing. Jeff Probst said he saw Nick and Elizabeth really weak during the immunity challenge, but I didn't see that from the clips of Nick they used. I remember being frustrated that they kept cutting to individual shots, so you couldn't really see what *everyone* was doing, and how far along they were, all at the same time. |
Grooch | Monday, April 16, 2001 - 09:24 am  Did he cheat? I can't tell, my eyesight is to bad. http://www.realitytvfans.com/newspub/story.cfm?ID=1907 |
Grooch | Tuesday, April 17, 2001 - 02:13 pm  Interesting article about him not purposely cheating, but comparing it to something that happened to Kelly on SI. The Stingray

Grooch | Tuesday, April 17, 2001 - 02:45 pm  Moondance, I believe you can draw Cheaterman out of your folder by leaving a trail of Mangos for him to follow.... You'l |
Wink | Tuesday, April 17, 2001 - 02:52 pm  Well with Fruit gone which one of you wants to be head loonie? The one with the best hat wins.  |
Grooch | Tuesday, April 17, 2001 - 02:55 pm  OK Moon, it's safe to go back into your folder now. |
Grooch | Tuesday, April 17, 2001 - 02:57 pm  No way Wink. It's a thankless job. You can have it.  |
Moondance | Tuesday, April 17, 2001 - 03:07 pm  Thanks for the help MsGrooch! Wink, you volunteering? |
Grooch | Wednesday, April 18, 2001 - 09:03 am  I am reposting these two links because no one has commented on the article and it might have gotten lost up there. It's about how maybe MB might be favoring Colby on the challenges. So it might make a difference if he makes it to the final two. http://www.thestingray.net/tape.htm and the pictures: http://survivornews.net/news/200104/13-colby.rc/ |
Puttergirl | Wednesday, April 18, 2001 - 06:32 pm  I remember thinking at the time that something looked funny when Amber and Colby passed each other at that last pass. I didn't specifically see him disconnected from both, but I just had this vague sense of something not being right. So I believe he did violate the rules. I think to "cheat" you have to have intent. I don't think he meant to do it and may never have been aware of it. So the real question is... did Survivor producers know? I say yes. I've been very skeptical of everything I see with Survivor these days; I've come to the point where it feels like all of it is staged! |
