Spunky | Friday, January 11, 2002 - 09:34 am   Okay, now that I read how Lex lost (drat, I was waiting to see that and I ran out of tape while away from the tv) and Kim won the last challenge as well, this confirms my belief that Ethan was quite disappointing during the last few episodes. I think he only won the archery challenge and was mostly flying under the radar (is that how you say?). So as long as you don't make enemies you don't have to win anything....just the million!! Anyway, out of the last three I still would have wanted Ethan to win but not for any great merit. |
Britchick | Friday, January 11, 2002 - 10:23 am   Tina won no challenges at all last year - Ethan did win one reward and one immunity. So it's not a new thing that the one who wins a lot of challenges (Colby, Lex) doesn't win the million. |
Whoami | Friday, January 11, 2002 - 10:31 am   Tina did win a reward challenge. She got to "chat" on line with her family IIRC. |
Car54 | Friday, January 11, 2002 - 10:43 am   And she would have won the pole standing, but she gave it to Keith. |
Grooch | Friday, January 11, 2002 - 11:17 am   I think not making any enemies is a hard thing to do. I don't think I would be able to keep my mouth shut when the others start to annoy me. And then they would boot me out. |
Britchick | Friday, January 11, 2002 - 11:56 am   Oops, sorry I forgot about Tina's reward challenge. I still think the point remains that winning Survivor is historically not linked to winning challenges. |
Neko | Friday, January 11, 2002 - 12:03 pm   Ethan was never voted against once in the game except for last night by Brandon and Kim P when they voted for MamaKim to win. Now that's what I call flying under the radar, I think even Tina got a vote or two! |
Whoami | Friday, January 11, 2002 - 12:17 pm   Survivor is also now 3 for three where the person who picks the other to be in the F2 with them loses to the person they picked! I don't think I'd want to win the final challenge! |
Car54 | Friday, January 11, 2002 - 12:45 pm   So far, the person who wins the final IC has control of the game, but so far, has NEVER won. |
Cinnamongirl | Friday, January 11, 2002 - 01:02 pm   Winning Survivor is more than winning challenges. Even if you won every immunity challenge along the way, you are not guarranteed the million dollars, people would probably hate you by then anyways . Outwit, Outlast, Outplay in my mind doesn't equate to win as many challenges as you can. Ethan even said after winning the challenge that he felt funny about it, didn't like leaving camp to let the others talk, didn't want to look like a threat. Didn't want to pick someone to go with him in case there were bad feelings about it. Its a fine line these guys have to walk and I doubt its easy. I personally think Ethan played a better game than, say Lex. Not stepping on peoples toes and flying off the handle are as important as any IC win. |
Car54 | Friday, January 11, 2002 - 01:21 pm   After S1, the players all thought you had to play like Richard Hatch to win. I hope they don't all react to Ethan winning by becoming too UTR- 16 Ethans would be pretty boring. I sort of like the scheming and head trips- WHEN it is done well (not like the mallrats- they were very BAD at their plotting and planning!) I am glad S4 players were in the game when S3 was on- they won't have any reaction to this game. (Tho I did read that they were told about the Twist before their game started.) |
Whoami | Friday, January 11, 2002 - 02:14 pm   Even tho the Mallrats were terrible in their plotting and planning, you have to admit it was fun watching them bumble along! |
Car54 | Friday, January 11, 2002 - 02:36 pm   Very true Don't you wonder what the casting is like? Who could sit in a room with Silas for more than 3 minutes and not know he was a fool? I kind of wonder what kind of mix they are really going for- it can't be skill- not one of these people could make fire- is it personality?- then who cast Frank and Lindsay? Is it athleticism? Sonya and Maralyn? We need somebody from this board to go through it (Go Moon!) so we can find out the skinny on how they pickem. |
Gina8642 | Friday, January 11, 2002 - 02:39 pm   I think the plotting and planning is what makes the show fun to watch. I wish they had cast more of those types. Especially some wiht a few more brain cells then Brandon. I think this show was really overloaded on the "integrity" theme. Sanctimonous types really bother me. I suppose those who really do play with integrity (READ NOT KIMJ) arn't too bad. But you need to mix them up with the schemers to make it fun. (Kind of the Rich/Rudy combo - now that was fun!) Speaking of what they need, how about some women in their mid-thirties? It seems in the world of Survivor if you a female, you need to be either the "young, bikini, cutie" or, "Over 40, or better yet over 50, maybe retired female." The mid-thirties in a demographic I'd like to see. I know KimP was 30 but it sure didn't show in anyway. |
Moondance | Friday, January 11, 2002 - 02:47 pm   I am making my tape next weekend Car |
Car54 | Friday, January 11, 2002 - 02:51 pm   Woo Hoo! Tell them you bring at least 4000 loyal viewers every week with you! |
Moondance | Friday, January 11, 2002 - 02:57 pm   That's a good line... I may use it! You are good at this... hmmm maybe you should be the one sending in the tape |
Discoinferno | Friday, January 11, 2002 - 03:16 pm   Oh my gosh, Moon... .if we both apply and make it, how will we know each other? |
Car54 | Friday, January 11, 2002 - 03:20 pm   Nah, I am a big baby.... I'll tell you my "camp" story: I was a girl scout, and one summer they sent me to camp. First thing I was suspicious because they had us sitting on logs instead of nice outdoor furniture... We had to sign up for chores.... and I had never camped or stayed away from home, but I volunteered- "latrine" sounded like such a nice word... maybe it was something French.... Anyway, one look at the latrine, and I was in the Camp Director's office- I had her get my mother on the phone, and I gave her what for... made her come get me then and there... did she know they made us pee in a hole in the ground??? That was my experience with the great outdoors- I get really cranky if there is no air conditioning or room service! |
Moondance | Friday, January 11, 2002 - 03:26 pm   ROTF Car! Ok well TVCH needs you here anyway to keep the Survivor threads updated and in line - online! Trust me Disco, I have a feeling I would know exactly which one you were! |
Car54 | Friday, January 11, 2002 - 04:19 pm   Ok, Moon, Disco, if you meet up at auditions, the TVCH password is: rosebud |
Moondance | Friday, January 11, 2002 - 04:20 pm   gottcha! |
Discoinferno | Friday, January 11, 2002 - 04:24 pm   What will we do if we're on separate teams? |
Moondance | Friday, January 11, 2002 - 04:30 pm   Hand signals at the challenges |
Car54 | Friday, January 11, 2002 - 04:43 pm   See, this girl has totally got it. My work here is done |
