From the SS board posted by someone called Tapewatcher 2002

White Mans Burden

It is time to put the speculation to rest. The winner of season 4 is not a difficult guess. The ending to this season will be a time for firsts. One of which will be that an afro american shall be the victor. Now which one will it be you ask. Is it sean or will it be vecepia. The winner will be Vee. Simple as that. Should i have givin you an elaborate post as i did in the prior season. Not yet. I concede that i dont have solid evidence to give you. In the coming episode you shall see why vee stands for victory. Leander shall visit. Neleh will exit. kathy, sean, vee, and robert team up for the ulitmate coup.

<does this sound like the old Tapewatcher or do you think this is a new poster?- he just registered today.... why would he re-register. Gosh I will be mad if Vee wins!>

I don't follow that board so I can't comment as to who this Tapewatcher is, but I think the theory is possible.

Not to single you out Car, but I've noticed a number of posts that seem pretty anti-Vee. Why doesn't anyone want her to win? Sure she's been a little under the radar, but the strategy seems to be working. She hasn't irritated anyone and seems to be respected and well liked. She's not the most interesting tribemember, but then again, I found Ethan to be one of the most boring Survivors ever and everyone here swooned over him. Survivor is all about getting along with people, and getting into a good alliance that takes you to the end. Vee has done that, and I think a win for her would not be undeserved.

Is this the author of the poem claiming Paschall would go this week? Language sounds similar.

Doesn't sound like Tapewatcher, he/she writes in a different form ... Crazydog we all have our opinions:) I would be disapointed if Vee won too. I don't feel like her heart is 100% in the game... JMO

I think it is fake.

Crazydog, I would not want Vee to win because she hasn't really played the game, she has been a floater all the way through- no real relationships except maybe Sean, no strategy, she hasn't played the game - I never want anyone who just floats along to win. Felt the same way about MamaKim.

I call players who attach themselves to a strong, aggressive player "floaters", and I just don't really respect that way of playing. My picks for F2 are still Sean and Kathy- and I would be ok with either one winning.

I have to agree with Car and Moon here.
I'm sure Vee is a very nice person, but I would be disapointed if she won.
She hooked up with Sean in the beginning and has been riding it out ever since. Outwit, outplay, outlast, I don't see it. I don't think her heart is in the game, either. A million dollar prize should go to someone who has given some effort.

I definitely think this is a fake. Vee can not win. First of all the jury has to vote for her and I do not see it happening. Just last week Tammy and Robert voted against her. Car is right she is the number one FLoater.

I think it's a fake too.

Both times Tapewatcher had many pages of evidence to support his claim.
And besides, both times, he stayed under the name Tapewatcher**. I don't remember the numbers though.

PS- I would be extremely disapointed if Vee won. It's not that I don't like her. I do. It's just that I get the feeling she isn't playing the game as well.neko

Editing people, editing. We don't know that Vee isn't playing the game, only that we aren't SHOWN that she is playing the game. That could be a signal right there that she might be the ultimate winner. It certainly is not new for MB to hide the clues to people's real alliances and behavior.

Having said all that - I agree this is not the original Tapewatcher - it is an impostor trying to be clever, who may or may not be right about the ultimate outcome.

As far as Vee winning is concerned, I would not be happy, since my allegiance to Kathy and my desire that she wins is pretty well documented around here.

I wouldn't mind seeing Vee win,but I don't see it happening. I think this is a fake too,if he'd have written his reasons,maybe I would believe it,but this guy didn't even try.

Hey,Car54,would you mind posting a link to that up here? I couldn't find it over there. Thanks!

Bat, I certainly hope it's not the same guy who claimed to know Pappy was leaving! I fell for it hook, line and sinker..LOL

I think Tapewatcher has a different style. Let's see what happens before we jump on this one.

I also don't want Vee to win. IMO she is fake! She distanced herself from Sean when she thought that might help her, and commented about the drama, like she didnt approve of Sean and Rob. Now with the tables turned, she is all buddy buddy with him. I want Sean or Kathy to win, which is funny, cuz the first few weeks I didn't like either of them!!! That is probably what MB planned so they will be the final 2

I like Vee. She seems like someone who keeps to herself. In other words, she is more reserved.

I don't mind any of the things that Vee has done in trying to stay in the game. It's a game and I think they have to do whatever they think is best to keep them in the game. Zoe,Paschal, Neleh,Vee changed alliances and Tammy and Robert tried to. Sean and Kathy are the only ones that didn't. I would be happy to see either of them win. I think if the final 2 is going to be Sean and Kathy, that Kathy will have to win the final immunity and then I am pretty sure she will take Sean with her.

Pamy,I don't think she's fake. I think she was very smart to distance herself from them,they were making waves right off the bat after the merge. She layed low and got to know the new team members and left them to do it their way. And like Twiggyish said, I think she is reserved,and she doesn't like conflict.

I think Vee rides the coattails of whoever's most convenient. I don't like that...it might be good strategy to go far, but that doesn't mean I like it. :) And I think it makes it tough to win. Look at KimJ - she stuck with Ethan, Lex, and Tom to make it to the final two. But she wasn't entirely loyal, and she wasn't the driving force behind the alliance. Very few (players *or* fans) thought she "deserved" to win the million bucks. I think Vecepia is pretty much the same sort of player.

And no - that Tapewatcher doesn't sound like the real Tapewatcher. I would naturally be suspicious because of the name change, but the tone, spelling, and reasoning aren't the same, either.

Poor WASPs. lol So far we have had a homosexual, a woman, a Jew and now maybe a black person? At least no one can accuse CBS of being bigoted. :)

I'd think the first two qualified as wasp, unless they are catholic or something.

I can't see it being Tapewatcher. Not his style to be so brief, nor to not offer a great deal of thought and reasoning (sound or otherwise) to support his theories.

Too bad, his bit on Ethan last season was interesting!

No WAY in HECK that this is the real Tapewatcher!!! I have followed his posts since The Dog that didn't Bark... I also backed his Follow the Star theory. His style is very different to what is above. He posts what I would describe as... "a well thought out thesis suported by vidcap evidence and direct references."

THAT (above fraud)... is a joke! :)

Tapewatcher Two may or may not know what he/she is talking about re Vecepia. However, he/she is definitely not the same writer! Language is totally different -

What qualifies as "playing" the game? I'm confused. The game is called "survivor". Whatever strategy Vecepia uses is okay by me. IMO, she has kept herself safe by not entering any alliance FIRMLY...thus allowing herself wiggle room. She does not appear to have been unkind to anyone.

I don't really care who wins because I have no promise to share...unless it would be Robert or Neleh...because...I don't like them. I don't want Pascal to win either...because....well..I don't like him either

I don't really care if Vee wins (I'd prefer Kathy, but I'm not offended by Vee), BUT IMHO she's played the game a lot like Ethan. He didn't talk much. He let Lex and Tom take all the heat, while he and Mamakim coasted to victory.

Yep, Yuhuru. I would go for either Kathy or Sean for that reason. Sean for the bad boy/underdog deal that has yet to happen.

The "feel" of Tapewatchers' post isn't the same by any means - this one is a fake.

I do agree that an African-American will win this time around. I've felt this from day one just because it's never happened before. I also felt that Vee would be the winner. It remains to be seen.
