Judy | Wednesday, March 06, 2002 - 03:42 pm     SPOILING GINA Episode 1 Part One- Relationships/Portrayal DAY 1 Gina’s part in the opening credits is a very strong, forceful high five during a challenge (as opposed to just a face shot). She is the first Maraamu introduced in JP’s voice-over during the rowing to their tribal areas. Raft trip- At first Gina is seated behind Sara on left of raft Later she is behind Sean, in front of Paschal on right of raft. And during the last leg she is in the water pushing/kicking with Peter. She is beside Peter helping to pull the raft ashore and gives him a hug. She is next to Tricia near the crates and observes as Hunter checks on Sean (before his revival sermon). Gina appears to start to approach, and then changes her mind. She stands aside as others open crate then finds a spot next to Hunter to check out the contents. She reaches in and takes out water map. 1st Confessional With big beaming grin she declares that she is already in love with Hunter (reminds me of some folks ‘round here ). She says that they have a lot in common. Gina is next seen making fire with V, Rob and Hunter, She is closest to Hunter in this situation- they are both holding the moss while V aims at it with the magnifying glass. She stays down low and keeps blowing on moss until Pete takes up the task- then she steps away to get matter to put on fire. NIGHT 1 During V’s voice-over about Sara…a scene is shown of what appears to be Gina & V a little ways off from others talking privately. Close up of Gina looking uncomfortable/disgusted as Rob & Sara head off to raft to snuggle. DAY 2 2nd Confessional It is day 2 and Gina is talking about the previous night. She says there was a lot of flirting going on between Rob & Sara and that they stayed apart from the rest of the group the whole night. Made her wonder..is it flirting? Or an alliance? She says “you shouldn’t put yourself in that position if you don’t want people to think that” During confessional footage of the night before is shown, Gina is lying between Hunter and Tricia. Gina is seen working with Hunter pouring something from a kettle into something he is holding steady. While weaving palm fronds with V and Tricia- Gina good-naturedly chuckles at Rob when he returns ‘rooster –less”. Gina helps Hunter read the water map while Rob & Sara look on. Gina is holding/reading the map while the group treks to their water source. She is the first to touch the found water (dips a pan into it) Gathering water…Hunter fills the jugs, passes them to Sean who hands them up to Gina. The rest of the tribe surrounds her. 3rd Confessional/voice-over “We were all excited about getting water and we all came back and got to work boiling” Gina stands next to Rob during Peter’s ‘wholey speech” She doesn’t participate a lot—but just smiles/laughs when Peter says he is ‘chillin’ Walking to 1st Challenge The whole tribe is holding hands in a circle. Gina is holding hands with Tricia and (U GUESSED IT!) Hunter. Gina and Hunter exchange a private moment as they approach the challenge site. Hunter raises his eyebrows and grins at Gina as if to say “Ya ready ??” Gina grins back while dropping her head demurely. While listening to JP welcome them, Gina stands in front of Hunter and has both of her hands on Tricia’s shoulders. Tricia reaches back and pats her hip encouragingly/thankfully. Gina is the first to touch the IC Tiki. During Challenge Gina is shown actively participating in the lighting of 2 torches. After the loss Gina pats Hunter on the side after JP says ‘good effort, see ya tonight” I watched this scene a lot in slow mo- this ‘patting’ can also be interpreted as an effort to keep Sara from hugging Hunter. Gina has a bit of a confrontation with Peter when he attempts to get the whole group to talk about TC voting. She is firm but not bitchy as she tells him ‘Thanks for telling me your strategy, but I will be voting the way I want to – thank you very much’ 3rd Confessional Gina is saying that Peter aggravated them all with that ‘meeting’ Gina is seen giving Peter a sincere hug while preparing to depart for TC 3rd Confessional continued Gina says there are 3 people she may vote for at TC Tricia - because she is ‘old’ Sara- cause she is a hootchie Peter – because of aggravating confrontation/discussion about voting. Claims to have ‘no clue’ who she will be voting for. In walk to TC at one point Gina is seen at back of group with Sean, V & Hunter. Later she is seen walking near Peter. She is always near Hunter. Tribal Council Gina is in back row in between Peter & (duh) Hunter. Gina is the first one called on by JP. She answers that ‘Yes it is rewarding getting all food, water & fire by themselves’ She gives Peter a very sympathetic look while he talks about his discomfort within the group. Gina’s Appearance & Demeanor Light tan lowrise shorts Spaghetti strap tank Spaghetti strap black bikini top Light tan Long sleeve Columbia –like long sleeve button up shirt (Seen with it tied around her waist) Sleeveless gray T-shirt Black tankini top with white accents under arms and at shoulders Light Tan long pants with built in belt Black/gray all-weather sandals 2 black necklaces with gold charm on each Gold hoop earrings Ring (series of them?) on 2nd finger left hand Glasses Buff is worn around wrist or as headband. Gina seems to like being in the background/under the radar but does not let that stop her from stepping up when she is confident about something. She and Hunter could be madly in love and picking out names for their firstborn- but the others will never see it! She is way too smart for that. During group activities she and Hunter seem to purposely avoid touching. She seemed very close to Tricia & Hunter. I am hoping that ‘old’ comment was edited that way to throw us off! PS- How about all those FIRSTS??!! |
Moondance | Wednesday, March 06, 2002 - 03:47 pm     That was GREAT! Didn't you find it interesting that all of Gina's confessionals were by a rock with a crab on it... different posses I think with different attire but still that crab! She was also the last one shown as TC ended then a cut to Peter walking away. |
Tksoard | Wednesday, March 06, 2002 - 04:25 pm     Great job Judy!! I hope Gina and Hunter "get together". They make a cute couple!!  |
Judy | Wednesday, March 06, 2002 - 04:28 pm     I noticed a crab in one confessional--but not all of them LOL! I wonder if this Series will be "Follow The Crab"??!! |
Moondance | Wednesday, March 06, 2002 - 09:50 pm     Just watched it again and yes that crab in every confessional with Gina! LOL... Follow the Crab!... Of course the first night at Marramomomo it showed a crab scampering around! |
Urgrace | Thursday, March 07, 2002 - 03:21 am     Maybe this particular crab is a prop! It doesn't move.... |
Jenhavins | Thursday, March 07, 2002 - 05:45 am     Great job! |
Awareinva | Thursday, March 07, 2002 - 06:26 am     I love this! It's like a whole new level of insight! Great Job Judy! |
Crazydog | Thursday, March 07, 2002 - 08:38 am     Yeah, the crab didn't move, and it was a little red, don't you think? For some reason I thought it got swiped from a Red Lobster display! |
Moondance | Thursday, March 07, 2002 - 02:35 pm     Prop or not there has to be a reason for it |
Tksoard | Thursday, March 07, 2002 - 07:53 pm     Did anyone notice the crab at the very beginning? It was real and it moves!!  |
Urgrace | Monday, March 11, 2002 - 07:46 pm     Gina is smart and you can see her gears turning. She will have to watch her temper, though. I can see her losing it after the merge. |
Judy | Wednesday, March 13, 2002 - 06:43 am     Sorry this took so long!! ~~~~~~~ Episode 2 Gina sits around and enjoys the morning “show”- she dances with Sean while Hunter dances with V. Shown working around camp. 1st Confession/voice-over Is about how she thinks Patricia is relaxing and being more herself. During the segment that shows Pat being too Motherish.-- Gina seems to take all the bossiness with a grain of salt. Later she exchanges a ”this is getting aggravating” look with Sara while Pat barks out orders. While Sean & V discuss Pat- there is a shot of 4 tribe members in the ocean together. They are Pat, Hunter, Rob and Gina. Later Sara is shown joining them. During the “Sean is not working” segment. Gina is shown working next to Sara- and once again exchanging a knowing look with her. 2nd Confession/Voice-over Gina says Sean looks so strong- you would think he would be an asset- but instead he is lazy. As Sean goes off to get water –Gina & Hunter are sitting next to each other watching him go. Hunter looks at Gina and says, “I just wish he would work a little harder” Gina, V and Hunter are looking under rocks for food. They all joke about Rob & Sara being joined at the hip. During a night vision shot of the tribe- I can’t tell where Gina is… Reward Challenge Gina is between Hunter & Patricia looking at the mail. While JP is explaining- V has got her arm around Gina. Gina appears to be the first one out to innertube during group swim. She is not shown removing any rocks during the challenge. She jumps in the front of the boot and starts paddling hard during the final part of the challenge. During the ‘agony of defeat’ section Gina is shown looking down disappointedly. Then the whole Maraamu tribe is seen clapping/congratulating the other tribe. Then there are close-ups of Hunter, Gina & Sean (In that order) looking dejected. Shots are shown of the weather changing. Hunter & Gina are sitting together eating coconut- they look at each other and say at same time-“It’s gonna rain” ALL of the women of the tribe are shown working on palm fronds for their shelter. A voice-over by V says that she, Sara and Patricia have been working on them. Why leave out Gina?? Hmmm During “Sara is getting on everyone’s nerves” while building shelter section --Gina is shown looking irritated/frustrated. 3rd Confessional/Voice-over Gina says that Sara is all talk and no action and she is irritating her today. This segment of the show is ended by Sara grumbling – Pat looking amused/exasperated.. As Sara walks by Gina- Gina looks at her then tosses a stick down on the ground. During this whole segment Gina is not shown talking at all to Sara or about the shelter. Granted most of the talking is done by Sara with everyone else being silent in a mutual frustrated way. I think that Gina bit her tongue here. IC While group is standing listening to JP- Entire tribe has arms on each other shoulders- Gina is between Pat & Hunter. After she eats her stinky fish- her high 5ing/hugging is cut out during editing. Later she is shown between V & Pat with arms around each other. Not much during ‘agony of defeat” Maraamu is not shown congratulating other team. They are all arm in arm heading back to camp. Gina is in back on the end- has arm around Sara. After Challenge/Vote Speculating Gina is shown alone in ocean – washing out her shirt. Later she is sitting next to Hunter while he speaks to Rob about the Sara situation. TC Gina sits in front row between Rob & V and in front of Hunter. Gina’s is the only close-up/reaction shown to Sara commenting about “not being told what to do” and Sean’s “I feel like I never left work” speaches. She looks irritated/like she wants to speak out. After Sara explains that she doesn’t want to expend energy in camp but save it for challenges- it seems Gina can be silent no more. She says that she ‘totally disagrees’ yadda yadda yadda. During Gina’s speech Sean is seen slightly rolling his eyes. Then close up of Sara’s reaction. Sara just kinda smiles and looks off to the left. After the vote is read- Gina looks down sadly. Gina&Hunter Watch I think it speaks volumes that Gina & Hunter DON”T touch that often. For instance they would never dance together joking around. I am not saying that there is more going on than we are seeing. I think that they sense a mutual attraction and don’t want to mess up their game over it. It could also be that Hunter is being standoffish because he is not interested and doesn’t want to lead her on. During another portion (Mama section) Gina walks up in her bikini and Hunter turns toward her in a slightly checking her out way (Maybe she just changed). The body language of this just seems friendly and familiar to me. (I wish they would show them TALKING!) During shots of them in the water with the group- they are not next to each other. I think a telling moment that Gina & Hunter are thick as thieves came in this episode. While the tribe is preparing to go to TC- Hunter is asking Rob about his relationship with Sara—is it strategy, ?? Etc. Gina is sitting right next to Hunter. My point here is that this was kind of a sensitive conversation and it is evident to me that Hunter speaks openly in front of Gina. Crab Watch When we first check in with the Maraamu Tribe- it is shown on a rock scurrying away with the tribe’s flag visible in the background. Coming back from commercial break – a few crabs are shown scrambling into their holes-then it cuts to “Maraamu- Day 4”. After coming back from another commercial break-Maraamu’s beach is shown. A wave has just gone out and there is a lone bird walking on beach…looking for crabs??? Appearance/Demeanor No big changes that I can tell. The only new clothing spotted is a gray scrunchie. |
Awareinva | Wednesday, March 13, 2002 - 09:18 am     Great job- part of me wants Gina and Hunter to team up with V just because I like them the best, but part of me really wants to see V make the smart decision and use Rob and Sarah to boot the real competition for the win. I mean if I had to face Hunter or Gina in F2 or Rob or Sarah- no contest who I would want to sit by. Tonight will be interesting if Maramoo has to go back to TC. |
Car54 | Friday, March 15, 2002 - 04:05 pm     You know, if she can see it, Gina is in a very pivotal position. Sean/Vee and Sarah/Rob are not that tight-knit a group. She is the free agent...and if she aligns herself with one of the two couples, they become an alliance of 3, and can boot the other couple (that will fill up another two tribal councils) If the two couples boot Gina, they are stuck..they have to start cannibalizing each other. Sean and Vee are not a real "couple"...they would be smart to get with Gina and be an alliance of three singles-all three of them have voted for Sarah at least once. If they don't get "twisted" hope Gina figures this out. |
Judy | Friday, March 15, 2002 - 05:20 pm     Episode 3 Maraamu Night 6 After TC Tensions The tribe is building up the fire- Gina is standing with arms crossed looking uncomfortable. Sara goes into defensive mode- Gina admits to her that she voted for her because of what Sara said at TC (That she saves her energy for challenges) V breaks in and says that they have been holding this all in too long- now there is too much drama. Gina is so obviously frustrated/pissed/angry during this whole exchange and is the same way during a confessional/voice-over about it, which appears to be filmed the next day. It is obvious that she can not stand Sara or Sean. As the tribe ends their discussion it is obvious that Gina is still brooding about the situation- V makes a point of asking her directly “Gina, where you at?” Gina of course says fine- but it is obvious that she isn’t. Rob breaks the tension with a food joke. Gina looks nauseous. Day 7 Morning Show Time… Gina is shown only in reaction to Hunter’s antics. She sits beside Rob on one side of the fire – Sara is on other side of Rob. On the other side of the fire are Hunter, Vee and Sean. She mainly fiddles around with something in her mouth (getting a canker sore??)during the no no discussion. She doesn’t seem to find it as amusing as the others. . During JP arrival with bamboo- Gina stands behind the crowd. She is shown in black bikini helping to unload bamboo. During raft debates- Gina chimes in in opposition to Sean & Rob’s suggestions. She is shown working with Sean quite a bit- her posture is tense most of the time. During “Sean is lazy” segment. Gina is only shown briefly working next to fire. Then we go back to planning and building raft section. Gina is seen listening to Hunter’s suggestions and saying that she doesn’t think her tribe can survive another loss. RC Gina is in back of raft during challenge behind Rob and Sara. She appears to be holding the raft steady during box pickups. Day 8 Gina is shown preparing papaya- and telling Hunter that she just doesn’t know what to do or say about their losing streak. She takes out her frustration on a coconut with a machete. After the reading of IC mail- Gina gives a halfhearted cheer of “Let’s do it Maraamu” (This is painful to watch the second time). She is sitting on log cleaning her teeth with a stick- and it is painfully obvious that she doesn’t think they have a snowball’s chance in hell of winning this challenge. IC Gina's tribe stands apart from each other during JP instructions- except for V's elbow on Sean’s shoulder. They huddle up to decide whom to sit out. They choose Gina…as she walks away it doesn’t look to me like she volunteered to sit out…During challenge the 3 members of Rotu that sat out are shown cheering on their tribe - no sign of Gina. During agony of defeat- Gina stands apart from her tribemates—pissed that they made her sit out?? Day 9 TC Plotting Gina and Hunter are shown gathering food together- they laugh as he accidentally hits her in the head with a stick. Gina has a confessional where she says that this could be her last day- and their situation is very difficult. Gina & Hunter are shown whispering about the vote. They seem to be trying to guess which way to vote. Hunter thinks they would be stupid to vote out himself or Gina- so maybe they will target Sean- and he and Gina should vote that way too. It’s obvious they can not just go up to any of their other tribemates and say, “How are you voting tonight?” During the Godfather segment- Gina is only shown briefly walking along the beach with Rob. So I guess she had an ‘audience’ with the Don. TC Gina is 3rd in behind V and Rob she sits in front row between V and Sean. Gina holds her tongue during whole TC. She nods during Hunter’s bit- but keeps a poker face during Sara, Rob and V, and Sean’s speeches. Gina’s vote is not shown. As JP reads the 3rd vote against Hunter- we see a shot of Gina with a tear running down her cheek. She seems to be struggling against tears as Hunter’s torch is put out. She watches him go silently- doesn’t say a word... Crab Watch As we cut from Rotu’s day 7 to Maraamu’s Day 7 The crabs are shown in a playful light as we hear Maraamu start their morning show. After Robert’s foot injury- we come back from commercial to a shot of a bunch of crabs scurrying around on the beach- cut to Rotu building their raft. During Hunter’s confessional that all the complaining is driving him nuts a crab is shown walking backward making lil balls of sand. |
Moondance | Friday, March 15, 2002 - 05:27 pm     I found it interesting that they sat Gina out at the IC... of course this tribe makes no sense anyway ... thanks for the update Judy! |
Chippy | Friday, March 15, 2002 - 05:50 pm     If you collected the sense from the Malphamu's, you couldn't buy a hunk of gum. |
Awareinva | Tuesday, March 19, 2002 - 07:09 pm     Thanks Judy!! I didn't think about it until now- but how stupid was the decision to sit Gina out at IC??? I mean, no way could she have been as bad as Rob was at the directing!! Could possibly have won it for them. I too thought that Gina's comment "Let's do it Maraamu" was both sad and funny. I thought at the time- boy, she sounds like she thinks that it is more likely for Santa Claus to show up on the beach with early presents than the chance that they would actually win this thing. |
Judy | Friday, March 22, 2002 - 03:02 pm     Episode 4 Night 9- Right after TC (Hunter Gone) Night vision camera shows Gina standing near fire in her bikini. She is shown and heard in confessional talking about how she thinks her tribemates decision to vote off Hunter was really a stupid idea (join the club ) She thinks the reason they did it was because Rob & Sean wanted to be in charge. We seem to pick up in middle of convo where Gina is asking the others the reasoning behind their decision. Sara seems to be the only one responding to her questions- V is nowhere in sight. (Radar can’t even pick her up ). Gina makes 2 interesting statements here 1. She thought she was definitely out and not Hunter. 2. She talks about an agreement the tribe seemed to have where they all said they would explain their TC votes to each other. There really is no reasoning that Gina can discern in this latest boot. And she says (in confessional) that if they loose the next challenge – she will be out. – Switcharoo Gina and Rob walk up to get mail. V reads it to the group while they stand around eating grapefruit. Maraamu imitate Rotu by putting arms around each other while JP explains challenge. Gina is the first ‘new’ member of Maraamu. She warmly greets Neleh when she is switched to Maraamu. They stand with their arms around each other and hug members as they arrive. They are heard in background laughing that they ‘are all women’ They are all pleased when they get Pappy. When JP says that this may be a reprieve for some people there is a closeup of Gina. Before cut to commercial – Sara & Gina are seen comforting Neleh & Kathy who seem very upset by switch (Neleh is crying) Maraamu Day 10 Confessional Gina says it was interesting when they got to camp. And that it was exhilarating to be around non-lazy people. The tribe is seen standing around eating grapefruit. Pascal asks Gina what she does in real life. Gina explains that she used to be a teacher- but now she is bartending and saving money for grad school. Kathy says she is going back to school too- Turns out they are interested in the same career path. Environmental Studies. She and Kathy hit it off right away. Sara is shown in confessional saying she is happy for Gina to have found someone to relate to. Sara begins talking about their morning show they used to do and when she speaks glowingly of Hunter to the new members- Gina shoots her a look that could kill!! In a very regretful tone she says that Hunter is ‘the nicest guy you’d ever want to meet” Gina is seen in confessional saying how great it is to have tribemates that actually want to go get water. LOL. She also says that she might have stayed at Maraamu but she got 3 new tribemates that totally kick butt. The whole tribe heads on a water hike. Gina is gossiping with Neleh. She talks about Hunter and how much she liked him and that they had a lot in common. She says they got all the food and water. She also says that the others "jumped down her throat” when she asked why they did it. (It’s on the editing room floor I guess).She also says "lazy, lazy, lazy" More confessional from Gina- she says that since Rotu has the majority they can pick off people on each tribe. She says she wouldn’t mind seeing that happen in Rotu- "they deserve what the get”. I am assuming she is speaking of V, Rob & Sean. Day 11 Gina is shown lacing shoes- Sara still asleep. The whole tribe is going exploring. Gina and Kathy are up front. Kathy is complaining that Sara is slow. Kathy seems in charge of the hike. Gina is shown in confessional again saying she can see how Kathy gets on others nerves because she is so aggressive. She seems to be describing everyone else in tribe as passive. They find shrimp—Gina is down in water with Neleh trying to catch them. Gina is shown in confessional saying that Sara wasn’t helping and when she wanted to go back to the camp – Gina said ‘we certainly didn’t care- cuz she wasn’t doing anything anyway” Gina seems quite amused when Sara is unable to find her own way back to camp. IC Kathy & Gina get mail for IC. They read it at tree. Then go back and share it with others. Maraamu holds hands as they walk into challenge. And stand arm in arm as they hear instructions- Gina is between Kathy and Sara. During this fiasco- Gina disagrees with Kathy at one point saying “That Matched though” But she (Nor anyoone) try to take over- even after it’s evident that Kathy doesn’t know what she is doing. No consoling or congratulating after they lose miserably. Day 12 Gina , Neleh and Paschal are seen getting fruit. Confessional- Gina says tonight’s TC is ‘as usual’. Gina thinks that Sara might have given up and knows that she is going. On the other hand- being the type of person she is- she might not have a clue. During confessional about Kathy- Gina is seen working closely with Kathy- appeasing her and getting along with her. TC Gina sits on end beside Sara. Gina says the switch is awesome and that day was one of the best ones she’s had since being there. She says she does not miss her former members. Gina seems to enjoy Neleh as she is talking about her reaction to the switch. She looks kind of pityingly at Sara as Sara is talking. No votes are shown. Gina (as is her way thus far) doesn't not wave or react much as Sara is voted out and leaves. |
Lancecrossfire | Friday, March 22, 2002 - 05:53 pm     I have a feeling that Gina has two issues for bringing Hunter up all the time. Fisrt she really likes him. Second, I have a feeling she felt they were a much weaker tribe without Hunter. I hope she respects the others wanting to play the game, although if I were in her shoes, I'd be wondering if Sean/Sarah/Vee/Rob had any clue how they were going to win a challenge without Hunter if they couldn't win one with him. While not that much of a Hunter fan, if I'm on his tribe, I want him around, because I have a better chance of getting further than I do without him. I agree that Gina would have been the next one out whenever they would have lost IC. I'm still tooring for her, since she was my pre-game pick, and I finally picked someone with a clue. |
Squaredsc | Friday, March 22, 2002 - 07:01 pm     great posts judy i know your fingers were smokin'. i personally don't care for gina but you done good. |
Seamonkey | Friday, March 22, 2002 - 07:24 pm     yes.. good post.. I hope Gina will lose the talk about the former tribe and just work with the new one.. she stands a chance against kathy but not if she seems aggressive.. since neleh and paschal aren't aggressive seeming and they are used to Kathy. If she, Gina endears herself to them and lets Kathy do her "thing", she would have a good chance of surviving another TC. |
Awareinva | Monday, March 25, 2002 - 07:18 am     Thanks, Judy! I get so focused on the Rotu tribe that I miss all the subtle stuff in Maraamu. I really really hope that Rotu will throw the next two IC- if they can convince Gabe to sit out, they might have a chance at losing. Gina deserves to at least make the merge. But once we lose dumb and dumber- who will we hate???? Have to be Kathy and John- they seem to be the only two in Rotu that have "villian" potential. LOL |
Judy | Sunday, March 31, 2002 - 11:38 am     I was out of town all week and my power musta went off- Survivor didn't tape!! At least I did get to see some of it from where I was staying...if anyone wants to help spoil Gina this week - that would be great...otherwise it will be next week for me. Sorry Guys |
