Three Tribe Theory
Whoami | Thursday, November 01, 2001 - 10:42 pm   Okay, let's assume the "twist" next week is the splitting up into three tribes. I doubt MB would allow the tribes to come together by a random draw, or the tribemates vote. So, how would MB divide up each team to get the most shake up, and to break up the mallrat alliance? Who goes into what tribe? My picks and reasoning next post... |
Whoami | Thursday, November 01, 2001 - 11:03 pm   First of all, I decided to follow two criteria. 1. At least one mallrat in each tribe. One each on two tribes, two in the third tribe. 2. Two Boran and two Samburu per tribe. Team 1 Frank, Brandon, Kelley, Kim J. Get Brandon away from the rest of the mallrats. He's too weak to carry on without them. Give him to Frank, who I'm sure will deal with him appropriatly. Although Kim J is weaker physically, I think Frank will respect her efforts, and may even be gallant and try to help her along. Kelley is there cause she needed a place to go! Team 2 Silas, Teresa, Tom, Lex Tom won't put up with any of Silas' crap. Lex is in the middle of the road age wise to the rest of all the survivors. I doubt he'd follow Silas' attempt to lead. Teresa will let Tom know exactly what Silas is all about. Team 3 Kim P, Lindsey, Clarence, Ethan Since I had to have one tribe with 2 mallrats, I figured Kim P and Lindsey were a good choice. I wanted Brandon out of their leadership, and Silas away from leading them. Besides, when two women come to compete for the same prize, people like these two wouldn't hesitate to stab each other in the back. Clarence and Ethan are both strong physically, and great to look at (maybe the two girls' first conflict?). Neither of the two men would put up with their shenanigans. |
Tntitanfan | Friday, November 02, 2001 - 06:01 am   I love your three teams above! However, at TC last night Jeff said that, if Sambooboo comes to the merge divided four and one and Boran comes with a solid five, S will be picked off. That sure sounds like two teams to me instead of three. |
C1mag | Friday, November 02, 2001 - 06:11 am   I'm up for any theory but I'm going by what the promo's said and it stated that EVERY alliance would be shattered. So it's hard to see that suggestion working with a new tibe setting. I'm up for screwing over Silas though in any way it takes. That dude had one hell of a nerve to ask for the others to vote his way knowing one of them was going and he even went as far as to say please make it Lindsey and not me. Hahaha! Hopefully the real twist is that the day of Alliances is over and it is all indivdual now. |
Twiggyish | Friday, November 02, 2001 - 06:47 am   You might have something there. For the three teams to work, they would need an even amount of players. Unless, they don't split until later. I like your choices, too. |
Micknrc | Friday, November 02, 2001 - 07:05 am   If i'm not mistaken...JP's comments were phrased in "what if.." hypothetical style. Meaning he could just be leading them into this idea, knowing that it won't be the traditional merge they're expecting, or EMB saw the writing on the wall of the usual postmerge one tribe picking off the other as becoming boring for us to watch and came up with this plan ad hoc--making it up as he goes along. I can see why this would be both a good thing and a bad thing (boredom but with tradition vs. new dynamics and interesting viewing but with suspiciously manipulative rule-changing). My hubby is not conflicted--when I explained the three tribe theory to him last night--he claims that an 11th hour rule change would be grossly unfair--esp. to the team that is pulling it together and working like a tribe (GO Boran!). which I would have to agree with, I guess. He swears that if it's true he'll refuse to watch Survivor with me anymore, and be in my son's room for the new "The Tick". I think he's just looking for a good excuse...lol |
Spygirl | Friday, November 02, 2001 - 07:12 am   I have to say that I believe they go into three teams at this point based on an interview I saw in the middle of the summer on the Today Show. There was a fanatical fan who used a military satellite to track down the SIII location site. How he managed to talk them into that I'm still not sure.... Anyway, in that interview, the guy mentioned that he believed there were going to be three teams at some point this year based on some information he derived from the satelite pictures. |
Azriel | Friday, November 02, 2001 - 07:19 am   I've been reading up on different theories and one that I love involves simply switching two or three random team members. Perhaps some kind of fruit basket turn over game that leaves the tribes mixed up? This sounds like the best way to go to me. The tribes themselves remain intact, but the dynamics of the tribe and any alliances they contain would be completely shaken. |
Azriel | Friday, November 02, 2001 - 07:28 am   Perhaps with the water crisis on one team and the food shortage on the other, Jeff would initate a trade of water for food. Jeff says pick three team members to take the supplies for trade to the opposite camp. Pack your stuff cuz you will be staying over. After the tribe members arrive at the opposite camps he tells them, Oh mybad, I forgot to tell you that you will be staying over permanently. |
Crazydog | Friday, November 02, 2001 - 08:23 am   Tennessee, Jeff was just telling them information based on what's happened in the past survivors. Mick, one of my friends said the same thing about changing the rules midway. They are not changing the rules. They are changing what is perceived as "the rules" based on the past two shows. I saw something written by Susan Hawk about how Mark wanted to make it more interesting and was tired of one tribe picking off the other at the merge. It has to be a three tribe split. "A Survivor First" it would certainly be. It would keep us interested as well, and would solve the problems of the broken water jugs and lack of food. I think the only fair way to do it would be randomly drawing names, with 2 Boran and 2 Samburu in each tribe. |
