Merlin | Sunday, April 01, 2001 - 06:07 pm  I agree with Gail's post above, the reward challenge and the *negotiated major deal* for additional food will not be connected. The negotiation appears to take place with the men standing in knee deep water with their hands on their hips. The women are sitting on the beach observing. There is a later picture with only Nick and Roger left standing in the kneedeep water. This negotiation has to be all about who has the most crinkled skin on their feet when they leave the water. Any ideas on why only the men are in the water? What could the tribe members bargain with that would hugely affect their lives in the outback? Giving up a portion of the prize money wouldnt seem to affect their lives in the outback. Giving up immunity would affect their lives in the outback. Starving to death would also affect their lives in the outback. Anyone else have any ideas that would fit this parameter? |
Moondance | Sunday, April 01, 2001 - 06:19 pm  Trading Colby's flag could effect them hugely... Not hearing from home could also effect them too ... moral is low! That is why I think videos are in that box sitting next to the rice. (see link above) |
Max | Sunday, April 01, 2001 - 07:24 pm  I don't think the quote from the promo ("The reward challenge brings joy to all... but not without its "natural consequences" for all but two." ) and the offer of extra rice "at a price" are connected at all. The natural consequences of the reward challenge would be that the winner gets to choose who accompanies him/her to the reward, which usually includes food. The secondary natural consequences of this (that is, for all but two) is that the starving inmates starve more and spend their time envying the two "winners." I think the rice offer has some other "price to pay" attached to it. The two that make the most sense to me are (1) no one gets immunity and (2) no contact from home.

Seamonkey | Sunday, April 01, 2001 - 07:33 pm  There was just a teaser on tv (break fom 60 min) and JP was saying "I don't think you guys are going to make it" or some words to that effect after mentioning that they are out of rice. jeez.. you'd think they'd at least offer them some of that chicken feed hmm.. I did finally figure out I might be Monk (to bat) but it took some time... I still wonder about natural consequences.. |
Moondance | Sunday, April 01, 2001 - 07:50 pm  LOL Monk, I mean Seamonkey! You're right Max, I don't think they are related. |
Tksoard | Sunday, April 01, 2001 - 09:20 pm  Maybe they will have a choice of one great big fantastic meal, or a large supply of rice. They would really be tempted with a prime rib dinner, but that wouldn't keep them satisfied for more than a day or two. They would have to take the rice if they wanted to survive. What do you think? |
Fruitbat | Monday, April 02, 2001 - 04:36 am  Monk!! you didn't know that? I have been calling you Monk for awhile now. (see what I mean about Keith supporters, Moon. They are a little slow) I agree Max. The "natural consequences for all but 2" is about the winner picking someone to share the reward. The immunity challenge will happen. That is a big part of the show and now it is even more important than it ever has been. The person who wins may be asked to give it up for more rations for all. That would be exciting if a Kucha wins. MB could have it set up that if an Ogakor wins they have another plan waiting in the wings. We will never know but I can see that easily. Would there be enough time in the 41 minutes of air time to have another situation? Only if it is very brief. So standing in the water could be part of one of the other challenges or nothing signifigant at all. I don't know where the link to this picture is, Moon. I'll go check out the CBS site. |
Fruitbat | Monday, April 02, 2001 - 04:38 am  The video viewing is an interesting thought but not that difficult a choice. They will see their loved ones in a couple of weeks. I would think that would be a no brainer. They are hungry and that is compelling. |
Seamonkey | Monday, April 02, 2001 - 10:43 am  Actually itdidn't take me that long to realize you were calling me Monk.. I just sorta ignored it.. not being a Monk or even a Nun I agree that they will have a challenge.. |
Fruitbat | Monday, April 02, 2001 - 10:47 am  You prefer I risk carpal tunnel and type Seamonkey. For you, I would do this. |
Seamonkey | Monday, April 02, 2001 - 02:50 pm  snork! Sea is shorter, but whatever you wish is fine, Lynn is my name (I used to be LynnSeamonkey but the program kept insisting it was taken this time (by me) but wouldn't let me post and... GOTTA POST!!! I wish you no carpal tunnel, dear bat. I think we all got that back in the BB days on the live feeds!! Today is my birthday and I consider Jerri's ousting to be my biggest present.. |
Lancecrossfire | Monday, April 02, 2001 - 02:58 pm  Bat is being mighty accommodating--something must be up! Happy birthday Seamonkey! You should have asked for a Keith win for your b-day present! Now that would be a big present. Did you get anything else as of yet? Bat, what will you be sending? |
Fruitbat | Monday, April 02, 2001 - 04:02 pm  My gift to you, Monk, is positive energy to be healed. To have the demon Keith driven from your conciousness so you may enter the gates of sanity. Amen damn it. |
Seamonkey | Monday, April 02, 2001 - 05:04 pm  Keith winning would be excellent but I must admit that my absolutely first choice of a gift was for Jerri to be GONE.. so, I'm happy. I pickd Keith from the start, no because of looks,but because of his Key West connection. I have good friends in Key West. The Michigan connection is there as well. And then in the first episode Jerri was attacking several people, Keith included.. so I was more strongly for Keith.. and.. I'm verrrry loyal. If Keith is ousted there are some others I'd be just fine with winning.. Elisabeth, Tina, Rodger. but I'm rooting for Keith as long as he hangs in there. And, bat.. he did cook fish! I'm grateful for your positive, healing energy and I've transferred that to Keith. He thanks you too. bwahahahaaaa  |
Lancecrossfire | Monday, April 02, 2001 - 05:15 pm  Seamonkey--duck quickly. Bat is proficient at thwacking people. Great job giving Keith her positive energy. Yes he did cook the fish to everyone's enjoyment. How easy people take each other's abilities for granted and pay no attention to the positive things. To address Moon and Bat's comments/questions, I guess a post in the defend thread is warranted. Go Keith! Bat, hope that snow disappears soon! |
Fruitbat | Tuesday, April 03, 2001 - 03:53 am  There will be no transfering of my energy. Monk said: "I picked Keith from the start, not because of looks......" Bat says: duh |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, April 03, 2001 - 10:54 am  Duh.. to all who just go by looks .. good or bad.. male or female.. Sticking with Keith here in lovely, sunny southern california |
Lancecrossfire | Tuesday, April 03, 2001 - 11:05 am  I've always wondered why looks determines if a person deserves to win such a competition as Survivor, BB, football, or Monopoly. Hmm I was considering about applying for Survivor 3, although it seems that since I'm not a hunk, I don't deserve to win. For all the reasons I didn't want Rich to win, I don't remember that one ever entering into it. There were lots of comments about him concerning that issue. (that prevailed over many comments on other boards) I remember many people making comments about George on BB. (both men and women discussed looks as part of deserving to win) Ok, I'm dense and don't get the connection. |
Elitist | Tuesday, April 03, 2001 - 11:08 am  That is just because you and I are just ordinary people Lance. Look at Game I and II. There again looks decided who the winner was.  |
Lancecrossfire | Tuesday, April 03, 2001 - 12:07 pm  Oh, I only mentioned guys in the various competitions. A lot of folks gave Karen a tough time about her looks. (this and other boards) Sue (S1) took a lashing for her looks as well on other boards. Elitist, that was a good one. As one of Devo's songs/albums indicate: "Dare To Be Different" |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, April 03, 2001 - 12:22 pm  Dare to be Keith  |
Fruitbat | Tuesday, April 03, 2001 - 12:38 pm  hmmmmmmmmm my humor may have been misunderstood. Keith is not a movie star but I was teasing Monk, thus the "duh". (good body, actually) I was not infering that he should not win because of being unattractive. He should not win because I don't want him to. alright? I am not taking this seriously, is anyone? I thought all players on both Survivors and BB were attractive. I think many share that view but dissed them on message boards because that is what they do....for sport. Sue has one of the most beautiful smiles I have seen. She twinkles. |
Lancecrossfire | Tuesday, April 03, 2001 - 12:46 pm  Bat, my comments about looks were because of the general approach take about them over all the time that's gone by--not because of any one person's approach. Just wanted to give my perspective. I was pretty sure you were just going at it from the fun, give them a bad time angel, although others over the span of S1 to now haven't. I agree with you about Sue's smile, btw. Of course TV being what it is, I guess the physical appearance factor has to play some part in the whole thing--or maybe it's charisma that has to play a part. I remember more than 1 time the term fat ass being used as a descriptor for the contestants. I even remember that being used just before Game II about someone. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, April 03, 2001 - 08:59 pm  No, bat, not taking this very seriously. I'm just rooting for Keith cuz I decided to. Not serious, tho I don't relate to Monk, so have to force myself there, but not a biggie.. just jealous of the great name Fruitbat. But clearly Colby and Elizabeth get some fans strictly for their looks.. Amber started out at the very top in popularity on the official site and is now rated at the bottom for remaining survivors.. so people got around her cute looks. pace pace pace.. I think we are all anxious for Thursday to be here, tho at least I get a dose of bootcamp tomorrow. |
Azriel | Wednesday, April 04, 2001 - 12:35 pm  I've been thinking...maybe they will have to give up their blankets to get the rice. It would be a choice of whether they want to be cold or hungry. |
