Archive through May 05, 2002
Kitty | Saturday, May 04, 2002 - 11:10 am     Maybe the visitor is Mark Burnett! And he makes an offer to everyone that if they want they can leave the island now... take a bit of cash and go. That would be seductive and cunning. It would be a hard decision to make. And if they decided to all stay, it could be very emotional. (just thinking out loud) |
Pamy | Saturday, May 04, 2002 - 12:19 pm     Sean and Vee are not in the ep 11 clip.....hmmmmmm |
Whoami | Saturday, May 04, 2002 - 12:27 pm     Haven't they pulled the "you won't believe who the visitor is..." line before? I remember all kinds of speculations of celebrities and former survivors, only to have it be Colby's mom! |
Lancecrossfire | Saturday, May 04, 2002 - 12:35 pm     Hey, there is an idea! Have Colby's mom visit and take pictures. At least she will be snapping the shutter on something besides Colby taking a shower. |
Joan | Saturday, May 04, 2002 - 12:44 pm     I am going with the family videos followed by a visit from the winner's family after looking at the screen captures. |
Webkitty | Saturday, May 04, 2002 - 01:41 pm     Lots of good scenarios here, but I think I tend to agee with Joan on this. They each get to see a short little video from home right before the RC. That is why some of them look amused, some clapping and laughing, some crying, etc. They are told that if they win, they will get a visit in person. I have a feeling it is Vee based on the vidcap being shown around of K/P/N/S/R sitting around looking depressed. Her fiance shows up and its emotional for everyone, they are at the breaking point and anything like this would set them off. He stays for the day/night and then leaves, the honeymoon is over, back to plotting and planning. The "event" is the solar eclipse. The surprise visitor is Mark Burnett. It might not be a big deal to US, but I think it would to them. The show is edited to make us think Neleh (a young princess) is in danger of going, but its really Robert. Or Neleh wins the RC, not Vee, and her younger sister (a YOUNG princess) is the relative who stays awhile, and when she leaves, the honeymoon is over. Its May sweeps and Survivor is up against Friends, I have a feeling alot of this is just hype. (I hope I'm wrong and something REALLY juicy happens!) *One twist I can think of here: MB shows up. He gives them 30 seconds to decide if any of them want to give up the right to try for immunity, if they do they can see their loved one. Only one person can take advantage of this so whoever speaks first gets it. If someone takes the offer, the RC is off. I can see Kathy saying this is seductive and cunning. Neleh saying she is not giving up NOW, and Pappy saying he came face to face with himself (and crying) because he knows w/o his alliance, Neleh is in danger of being voted off but he REALLY wants to see his family.* ~just a thought~ note: it took me a long time to post this so *heck* only knows what has been posted since ~Joan's~ post above  |
Seamonkey | Saturday, May 04, 2002 - 01:45 pm     hmm.. Robert = Princess.. hey he may well have a princess tattoo.. Webkitty, that WOULD be a good twist.. immunity vs visit. |
Car54 | Saturday, May 04, 2002 - 01:50 pm     I think it is time for an intervention of some sort. The players are getting pretty low..and they have 3 more TV episodes to fill. It is no fun to watch starving, miserable people, and it seems like very few of the remaining players have had much extra food. Paschel has had 2 rewards, Kathy two, Neleh and Sean one each, but Robert has had no extra food, neither has Vee, and it has been more than 10 days since Kathy had any supplemental food. I think it is time for everyone to get something...whether it is videos from home that pep them up, or an unexpected visit that includes a meal for all. If they are this miserable at this point, they still have 10 more days- they will be unbearable by the end. I think the "vacation" will impact their quality of life somehow. |
Webkitty | Saturday, May 04, 2002 - 01:51 pm     Thanks Sea!  |
Lancecrossfire | Saturday, May 04, 2002 - 01:53 pm     It makes sense that it's family oriented--each show has had this element in some form. In S3 there was not a potential to win an in-person visit though. I'd like to see this done earlier in the game though--at this point it's something that everyone needs and typically gives them all a boost. While it makes for more drama later in the game, it also removes the element of giving the strong willed (those that can "suck it up" at the end) an advantage mentally. Now everyone is a bit refreshed and refocused by an outside source instead of having to dig within themselves for it. I think for a million bucks, this thing should be as hard as possible--mentally as well as physically. Maybe even more so mentally. |
Abbynormal | Saturday, May 04, 2002 - 02:11 pm     Car, when you said "I think it is time for an intervention" I thought you were going to mean about all the speculations in this thread! lol I really enjoy reading everyones ideas on what they think is going to happen. I'm just sorry I can't add anything, I have no imagination. |
Weinermr | Saturday, May 04, 2002 - 02:57 pm     I have what perhaps is a naive question. Why are they suddenly hungry and starving for food? What happened to the paradise they were supposedly living in? Coconuts, an abundance of fruit, ocean life, etc. They seemed to have plenty of food for a very long time. Suddenly the food is gone? Is the change seasonal? I know fruit, taro, and coconut is no substitute for steak and creme brulee, but it seems for a long time they had lots of food. What changed? Did the change of location of their camp take them away from all the food? Does anyone know? |
Car54 | Saturday, May 04, 2002 - 03:20 pm     LOL, Abby...no there are not enough non-speculators left to stage an intervention! Weiner, I was thinking conditions at Rotu camp must be harder. Remember what a big deal Neleh, Kathy and Paschel made when they got switched to Maraamu... food and water were easier to find...they said they had gone to heaven, and Rob and Sean said they had gone to Hell. I think it must be kind of cumulative... you go 3 weeks with not much food, cold nights, no comforts, and you just get tired out. I would be whining on the second day, I am such a baby! |
Pamy | Saturday, May 04, 2002 - 03:28 pm     I think MB should read these posts for ideas for future survivors! You all come up with the greatest ideas! Almost to the point that when I see the actual show I am disappointed one of yours aren't true!!!

Tntitanfan | Saturday, May 04, 2002 - 03:58 pm     I can't believe there isn't SOMETHING they could make a net out of the catch those fish! I've caught shrimp in a beach towel! Circle out beyond the fish and drive them up on the beach with palm frond seine! Nobody is going to be able to hit an able bodied shark on the head with a knife!! |
Seamonkey | Saturday, May 04, 2002 - 04:07 pm     Weiner, Tammy was asked about that and she said that lack of nutrition was ALWAYS an issue, but was just stressed in this particular episode. of course she was always Rotu/Soliantu at Rotu Beach .. some did have the Maraamu time where the fruit was plentiful and the crabs scuttled about. |
Car54 | Saturday, May 04, 2002 - 04:56 pm     It must be bad if Zoe couldn't catch anything..she fishes for a living and never got anything but the slimy stuff. |
Kaili | Sunday, May 05, 2002 - 12:55 pm     I'm confused...during last weeks episode Sean referred to Vee's husband. Is she married yet or not? Why would he say husband if they aren't married unless for some reason he just prefers to say husband rather than fiance? |
Seamonkey | Sunday, May 05, 2002 - 01:06 pm     I noticed that myself.. dunno why. |
Sunshinemiss | Sunday, May 05, 2002 - 02:40 pm     I think the food issue is a fatigue thing... they are just so run down now they don't have the energy to go forage for anything more than what is right there and easy to get, and they are getting sick of what they have. I wonder if they are really going to catch a pig, it seems like MB might be setting us up for it by showing all the trap preparations... as long as Robert doesn't smear blood on his face like the last guy- Michael I think- ugh!! I get the warrior mentality thing but I'm sorry, gross! |
Pamy | Sunday, May 05, 2002 - 04:28 pm     I hope they don't, that kind of stuff bothers me. I eat meat, but I don't think I could eat something I just saw running around, especially if it was a Momma....I still have a hard time watching Bambi. |
Moondance | Sunday, May 05, 2002 - 08:14 pm     From the SS board icbluenu (5/5/02 8:52:05 pm) Community Supporter Question about Earthquakes -------------------------------------------------- In the preview "An Unexpected Event shakes up the tribe" or something similar to that, while it most likely is home videos, they have been known to play words like that. The general longitude/latitude of the Marquesas islands is Latitude/Longitude 9¼ S, 139¼ 30 W I did search at USGS for earthquakes during the dates of December 11th and December 13th to see if there is anything that stands out, and I found a few things, but don't know enough about this to know if it would 'shake' anything up (or if I even found stuff remotly close to Marquesas) ...........date............time.....lat......long.......ele...........scale PDE-W 2001 12 11 063521.24 8.705 126.226 33 N0.88|4.5 PDE-W 2001 12 11 120103.62 9.027 125.942 33 N0.70|4.2 PDE-W 2001 12 12 030612.15 8.535 125.913 33 N1.17|4.1 PDE-W 2001 12 13 192403.81 9.853 138.209 33 N1.07|4.7 The last one was in the Oceania area, I don't know how far away 4.7 would be felt thogh |
Hippyt | Sunday, May 05, 2002 - 08:19 pm     An eclipse and an earthquake? Interesting. |
Muse | Sunday, May 05, 2002 - 09:25 pm     Vecepia just got married today (5/5), Kaili. She was engaged when she was on the show. I'm not sure why Sean called Leander her husband...I'm thinking it was perhaps a slip of the tongue. Either that or he just doesn't listen that well. I noticed in the clip where he was talking about the alliance to Kathy (shortly after the merge) that he couldn't remember her name. And if Vecepia tried to avoid talking about her family back home (other Survivors have commented on how they tried not to think or talk about home too much, since it might upset them), it might not even be something Vee commented on much. |
Car54 | Sunday, May 05, 2002 - 09:56 pm     I wonder if Sean is going to say "I Dunno" in the Fallen Comrades challenge? |
