Wink | Friday, October 26, 2001 - 01:06 pm   Could you put a little more ooomphhh into that statement Fruit? I don't sense total conviction on your part. |
Muse | Friday, October 26, 2001 - 06:43 pm   It's really early yet, but I put in my picks. I can always change them later...although whenever I seem to do that, I ended up going from pretty much right to pretty much wrong. Voted Off: Linda Spencer (she's one of the "old foks", and previews show her not getting along with Lindsey very well) Not Off: Kelly Goldsmith (why not?) Immunity: Boran (Seems like they might be on a roll, and revitalized by the water and wins - plus Samburu doesn't seem very motivated right now) |
Bidasea | Friday, October 26, 2001 - 07:45 pm   Yikes!! I really suck at this game.. I didn't think this game would be so hard..I've been pretty good at making predictions on other shows. I'm 5 for 5 on the Amazing Race..I knew Willxxoo would take it all on BB2. I was right by the 3rd show on Mole 1, and I was sure Colby would be in the final 3 on Survivor 2..This game is hard because it isn't anything that you do right that will predict staying on or getting voted off.In the Mole you have to pay attention, and do your homework or you are a goner. On the AR you have to keep your head in the game, or you are last..I didn't have a clue that Carl (my pick to win) would get voted off...I got all 3 answers wrong this week...Sorry to let you guys down..I better do more homework myself, or you guys will take me to the tribal council and vote my buns off. |
Fruitbat | Saturday, October 27, 2001 - 05:13 am   It may also be harder this year because they seem to have a different approach to editing. In the first 2 they telegraphed the vote. We saw no reason for them to vote for Carl. He talked about his cars but the focus was on Frank and Linda. Any hints we can possibly gleen are on the night of the vote anyway. Theresa and Kim on Samburu are very low key so I almost expect one of them to be seen more clearly on Thursday and then get the boot. I also anticipate Frank bonding a bit with the younger alliance enough to save himself for awhile . They have showed him to be the villian so I will refuse to be led on that one. Lindsey may shine this week as well. |
Llkoolaid | Saturday, October 27, 2001 - 07:30 pm   Wink, from Day one I have seen a Colby,Tina thing with Silas/Theresa, and to go even further I think Frank is their Keith, scary isn't it. The whole setup with Sambura reminds me so much of survivor 2 with the young against the old and Tina and Colby playing both sides. |
Donut | Saturday, October 27, 2001 - 10:28 pm   i dont know what to think, cuz logic says that linda will go, and i see peoples votes going that way too (on the votes only thread), but experience tells me that when someone is really annoying and i cant take another week of them that they are bound to stay on for a long time- this happens on all the reality shows. what to do? |
Fruitbat | Sunday, October 28, 2001 - 11:53 am   I don't see Linda going, unfortunately. Assuming they are still divided along age lines, the old will vote Lindsey because of her previous votes. In the likely event of a tie, Lindsey would automatically be ousted. It really doesn't even matter who the young vote for. Lindsey is gone unless there is a major regrouping of alliances. Can anyone see any other senario if Samburu loses IC. Just thought of something. If the rumor about Lindsey being in the hosp in early August is true it does not mean that it has anything to do with the game. They all stay in Africa until the completion so she could have been injured or gotton sick once out. |
Egbok | Sunday, October 28, 2001 - 11:58 am   I'm voting for Boran to win the IC, with Frank getting the boot over Lindsey. I'll continue with Kelly to stay. The main reason I went with Frank is because his name starts with an "F" and so does the word "fifty", which is the number of points I could win if I get this OFF vote right!! Okay, okay, Linda of Mother Africa has gotten to my senses and the "F" theory sounds good to me!! |
Fruitbat | Sunday, October 28, 2001 - 12:00 pm   Ahhhhhhh yes, of course. Who needs production leaks when we have Egbok. |
Egbok | Sunday, October 28, 2001 - 12:02 pm   Yup. |
Egbok | Sunday, October 28, 2001 - 12:18 pm   Actually, I'm just going with my gut instinct because the production leaks are driving me bananas, but I must admit, they are fun to read about and think about. Good luck everyone!! |
Fruitbat | Sunday, October 28, 2001 - 01:58 pm   Where are you reading them? Or better yet what are they saying. |
Egbok | Sunday, October 28, 2001 - 03:02 pm   "I'll never tell". ~~~Quoted from the actress in "Don't Say A Word". Seriously now, just for the record, I really don't have a source to any production leaks. I apologize for any misleading statements. <Egbok gets the duct tape, rips off a 6" piece and hands it to Fruitbat to apply to Egbok's mouth> |
Fruitbat | Monday, October 29, 2001 - 04:21 am   Carls comment about wishing he had gotton to know Kim better is telling. She clearly joins the older ones. There would be no other reason to make this statement. He has been in touch with the older team so his desire to know her must be through their experience with her. So the elders snag Kim either this week or next and the likelyhood of Silas, Lindsey and Brandon surviving to the merge is doubtful. If Kim aligns with the older ones this week they will choose the weakest and/or most abrasive to go. That points to Lindsey or Brandon. I voted for Lindsey to go, but my logic was different. <she has tie breaking votes> I may change. I would think that Kim would want to keep Lindsey because they must have bonded as women on some level. If this is correct, Brandon goes. hmmmmmmmmm I may have to go change things. Should Samburu win IC, I think Tom may go. He is annoying and out of shape. Joans transcriptions of the insider clips shows, Ethan, Lex, Kelly and Kim to be tight. They need Clarence for his strength right now. Opinions please. |
Fruitbat | Monday, October 29, 2001 - 04:26 am   And........ Teams are even now. There is no hurry for the elders to get another on their side. If they vote for Lindsey there is absouletly no problem with a tie. They are safe. If Lindsey gets sick and removed that would mean elders have majority and Brandon is gone. No way can a old one be eliminated. |
Fruitbat | Monday, October 29, 2001 - 04:28 am   It pains me to call people in their 40's old. What does that make me? This is the exact kind of comment that brings Merlin out of his hole. <I politely request no one answer that> |
Fruitbat | Monday, October 29, 2001 - 04:39 am   Brain cramps. Teams are not even. I am going to claim nicotine deprivation on this one and deny any loss of faculities. Kim goes with elders and Lindsey is out. How bout that? |
Fruitbat | Monday, October 29, 2001 - 04:41 am   ummmmmmmmm nope that would mean Brandon out. Will someone get over here and discuss strategy with me!!!? I am tired of talking to myself and it is making me look nuts. |
Tntitanfan | Monday, October 29, 2001 - 05:09 am   I actually think we are going to see the "more mature" group picked off one by one if Boran continues to win IC. I think Silas will keep his group of four intact, as he seems like a shrewd manipulator. Their only hope is that, if something takes Lindsay out, it happens while there are still three of them. Carl was my favorite on this team! |
Tntitanfan | Monday, October 29, 2001 - 05:12 am   "Three of them" above refers to the "more mature" group - brain slow to rejoin body in the AM! |
Fruitbat | Monday, October 29, 2001 - 05:44 am   All my previous deductions are out the window. With the 3/4 split an old one has to go. For some reason, of which I do not know, I was thinking the teams were even. I will blame this on Adven because I am not in the mood to take responsibility for such a ridiculous error. Samburu winning IC this week is knawing at my skull too. I have to go change my votes but I better wait until the caffine kicks in or someone with a grain of sense comes along and tells me how to vote. I am clearly not responsible for my mind today. |
Resortgirl | Monday, October 29, 2001 - 05:53 am   I was wondering what was up with you Fruitbat but I am way to scared of you to correct you. And since I am such a chicken it would make sense that I am more of a follower then a leader so I have no idea how to vote until I am told...LOL! |
Resortgirl | Monday, October 29, 2001 - 06:01 am   I do think Samburu gets immunity only because they will actually work as a team... something I think is impossible for Boran to do anymore. I think they will vote out Linda, partly because of her mystic musings and because physically she is not as strong as the other two oldsters. There is really no rush getting Frank out now as long as the alliances stay the way they are now. They might as well put up with his big mouth to get his brute strength for competitions. So I'm going to go out on a limb and say Linda's Out Frank Stays.... Or maybe not... |
Spygirl | Monday, October 29, 2001 - 06:21 am   Bunky? Is Bunky in here???? <giggle....giggle> |
Tntitanfan | Monday, October 29, 2001 - 06:47 am   Resortgirl, I think you have the team names confused. It is Samburu that has the schism between the generations that is going to play havoc with their cooperative efforts. |
