Gina8642 | Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 07:10 pm     I'm wondering what they will show? I optimistic there might be more "suff" than last season. The video clips on the CBS official Survivor page are much improved (contentwise) than last time. So, along the same vein, I'm hoping they will show more new and interesting stuff during the re-cap. I'm also really, really glad they are not skipping a week. I think last season they were pretty dishonest that the next show coming up was not new, but a re-cap. It wasn't made clear 'til pretty last minute. This time it has been abundantly clear. |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 03:43 am     MB has changed enough this season to keep me hopeful that we will see a lot of new footage tonight.........but the reason for a recap is to snag new viewers or hold those that joined late and may slip away for lack of knowing what is afoot. So there is really no logic for not using most of what is already edited and ready to go. He has the story all laid out and in the can so to speak. Why throw in anything new? The fact that there are 2 episodes this week almost proves this. |
Car54 | Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 03:54 am     I always watch for exposure... in S3, we had seen Frank as an oddball, distant, hard to know, and in the recap, he got a lot of exposure...the antler thing, the tribe talking about him. And he was gone soon after. I think sometimes MB uses the recap to catch up with players where we have not seen a full portrayal...so we get a chance to see them before they are gone. Kind of an editing catch-up! |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 04:13 am     Ah, I had forgotton about that, Car. If we see a lot of Zoe we have our answer for Thursday. The others have gotton a fair amount of face time. |
Moondance | Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 10:08 am     I think he will throw us a couple of bones! I am looking forward to it! |
Awareinva | Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 11:21 am     The clip show is called "Look Closer" not "A closer Look"! Is Mark B. going to give us another look at something we have all missed so far? He does love to keep the spoilers going! That title made me think there will be something big (if we can figure it out) in the recap show tonight! Heat up those VCR's!!!! |
Moondance | Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 11:26 am     Yep! AW I AGREE... I cannot wait! I will be taping this one! |
Neko | Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 12:18 pm     Man, Survivor Recap then 2 hours of TAR2!!! Best Wednesday ever!!! LoL |
Pagal | Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 12:57 pm     Sounds like a pizza and beer night to me! |
Moondance | Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 01:17 pm     Me too Pagal! |
Neko | Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 01:37 pm     Errr...Pizza and pop for me  |
Mygetaway | Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 05:31 pm     I don't suppose anyone will have time to check in tonight, since AR comes on right after the recap.. No pizza or beer for me either.. but I did put in an order for ice cream and cookies later.. {LOL} |
Demeter | Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 05:42 pm     Ok, I don't really see this happening, but... Did you notice that going into the island on the boats, the very first clip was of Vee on her boat and Kathy on her boat (in the lead positions)? I have no idea if it is a clue or not because I am generally clueless. |
Faerygdds | Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 05:58 pm     Better yet... I love the reference Sean makes to the Rotu 4 alliance... "4 Horsemen" Marky does love those biblical references!!! |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 06:13 pm     Well we certainly got a bone! Neleh, Sean and Vee looked serious in their pledge to stick together. You have to count Paschall in that too. Neleh is stronger than we think. Cool, oh this is very cool. |
Niceguy | Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 07:25 pm     I missed the first show of S4 so I had no knowledge of Peter. He did come on too strong. I'm surprised he couldn't lay back just enough to not appear to be a threat to Hunter but maybe Hunter just thought,"I gotta get him out of here." Vee is a real politician in the way she never ruffles feathers. Good ol' Sean tried to play the race card even with Vee with the old,"I can't believe you wouldn't rely on a brother"line. However that is part of the game. To use the scurviest, most self-serving gambits to stay in the game. |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 11:51 pm     I DID order in Pizza and had pepsi We did see Paschal, Neleh, Sean and Vee actually talking more, and the morning show, at least once. And Rob cooking papaya was a hoot!!! Peter was still creepy, Patricia still Grating. And we got to see the Asian preview.. Oh and the voodoo doll. |
Muse | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 12:31 am     I'm glad the ep showed Vee talking about her vote for Rob. The fact that she voted for him kind of rubbed me the wrong way (yes, even though it was *Rob* ), and it was nice to see her reasoning and explanation. And that she seemed a little sorry that she did it, too. I'm still not entirely convinced that she wouldn't "betray" someone just to get a little further ahead in the game again, but for now I'll give her the benefit of the doubt. Really interesting to see the discussions about the alliance and voting John off. But of course now I'm worried that the preview promising the "most unpredictable episode ever" means someone I really like will go. |
Twiggyish | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 05:39 am     Could this indicate the power shift towards Sean? |
Honey51 | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 06:16 am     I think it will be a power struggle between Kathy and Sean but I believe Neleh will really be the powerful leader. Sean thinks he led the others to vote off John, Kathy thinks it was her influence over P & N that led to his demise. It reality it was N that got P to change his vote. Without these two, no one has a firm alliance. |
Squaredsc | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 06:57 am     ok, i guess you all saw things i didn't see. i must admit i didn't watch the whole thing 'cause everytime i looked it was something i saw before and thought it was boring. i did tape it though so i will rewind and fast-forward over the weekend to see what you all saw, but i was kind of disappointed, scratch that, very disappointed in the recap/look see.  |
Fruitbat | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 07:48 am     Square, only at the end did they show some new footage. Neleh, Sean and Vee talking gave us a little info. We saw that Vee was not really flipping around. She apologized to Sean for voting Rob and it is clear she is with Sean all the way. Looks like Neleh and Paschall are with them for now. These were things we were not sure of. Some of us were assuming that Neleh and Paschall were with Zoe and possibly Robert. It cleared that up. At least that is how I saw it. All of course will change and change again. No lasting alliances that I see except maybe Pappy and Neleh |
Jewels | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 08:27 am     I missed the last 10 minutes of it...can someone tell me the new footage that was at the end about Sean, Vee, Neleh, Paschal and Kathy? Anything about Zoe voting for John? Why did Vee vote for Rob? Sorry to be a bother, but I would appreciate it!  |
Quietstorm4 | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 08:29 am     Honey, I agree that Neleh has influence over Paschal, but that alone does not give her any more power than Sean or Kathy. She's in a group of two...the same as Sean and Vee. One has no more power than the other at this time, unless one of those groups firmly has Kathy with them. Right now, I don't think either of them do. I think Kathy is the key, not Neleh. |
Squaredsc | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 09:21 am     thanks ms bat, so now i only have to rewind my tape for the last 10-15 minutes. great.  |
Urgrace | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 03:59 pm     Jewels, one thing I mentioned in another thread was Jeff Probst saying that Zoe voted for Sean with T/R/J, but she did NOT - she voted for John. |
Awareinva | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 04:51 pm     Well, crap !!! I was late firing up the VCR and taped the wrong channel!! And to make it worse I taped "ED"! My phone rang several times during the recap but I figured "I'll just watch the tape later". WRONG! Hope someone can watch and give us some clues. I did think they spent A LOT of time on the first episode.... 20 minutes and then the other 7 episodes in the remaining 40 minutes. That makes me think there is something in that episode that gives it away if we can figure it out. |
Nanya | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 08:46 pm     I was somewhat disappointed. There was not much new. It would seem that it was not true that Paschal simply voted against John. It was clear that he/n/v/s/k indeed did enter an alliance. It may be fleeting but it was an alliance. |
