SuperSpoiling- Gabriel Cade:
Archive through March 14, 2002
Awareinva | Tuesday, March 05, 2002 - 04:14 pm     Ok, sorry this took a while, but here is my take on superspoiling for Gabe in Ep. 1. I am going to go more for who was with whom, etc. and impressions rather than what he was wearing, etc. Tina said to see alliances look for who stands/walks with whom. Day 1. On the fishing trawler, Gabe was sitting between Neleh and Tammy. While they were on the boat deck at the rail, he was standing by Jeffie P. and Kathy. In the huddle before the exxodus, he was standing between Tammy and John. Gabe was the first to jump over board and get in the raft to load supplies. They kept switching positions in the raft- I would guess to change arms, etc. When they hit the shore, Gabe, Tammy, and John pulled the crate in and then Gabe and Tammy hug. He has a group hug with Tammy and Paschal, and then with Robert and Paschal. While they open the crate, Gabe stands by Tammy. He takes out and reads the water map, then hi 5's Tammy. In his first confessional, Gabe is talking about how Kathy has slipped into the role of skipper, that it may be her personality or just being out here. Day 2 begins with a shot of Gabe alone on the beach watching the sunrise. Then cut to a shot of Tammy (I think) washing in the surf. Then Gabe and John packing up for the trip to get water. Second confessional for Gabe. Talks about water, how they only had about 1 liter each. Gabe is the first to see the waterfall, then he is with Robert, Paschal and Tammy getting ready to go into the water. Gabe is the one shown actually filling the water cans while Zoe watches. The next section showing Rotu is the fire lighting situation- with the confrontation between Kathy and John. I thought it interesting that Gabe is not seen or heard at all during the confrontation or the subsequent fire lighting. Break to commercial with not one sign of Gabe- he doesn't seem to be in camp. Kathy, Zoe, Tammy, Robert and Gabe go to get the mail. No one else seems to be there. Gabe takes the message from Kathy and reads it. On the way to IC, the tribe is walking in a line- Robert, Tammy, Neleh, Gabe, John, Paschal, Kathy, and Zoe. As they come up to the mat, Gabe,Neleh and Zoe are in front. Gabe looks back at Tammy, puts his arm around her neck and pulls her up beside him. Robert comes up behind Gabe and puts his arm around his shoulder. Gabe reaches back and puts his arm behind Robert. This is how they stay while Jeff is talking. I noticed that all the tribe seemed to have their arms around each others neck or back, but that Kathy was at one end by Paschal, and although her arm was around his neck- he didn't reciprocate by putting his arm around her but kept it by his side. John was to the back and didn't seem to be really included in the group thing either. During the challenge, Tammy, Gabe, Robert and Paschal were on one side of the boat. Gabe took the idol from Jeffie when Rotu won. Was in the middle of a group hug. Last shot of Rotu was Kathy kissing Gabe on the cheek. In the preview for Ep. 2 As Jeff says "A hungry tribe competes for the kill", Gabe is shown shooting some kind of bow and arrow. Then when JP says "It is Kathy who finds food" we see a shot of Gabe, Tammy and Robert sitting on the beach and they look over toward Kathy yelling...no sign of anyone getting up. Cut to a shot of Zoe by herself running to where Kathy is in the water. My impressions from this- Gabe, Robert and Tammy are definitely very friendly. Paschal seems to hang with them more than not. I will definitely be looking for more signs of a possible G, T, R alliance. Also, if fire represents life, what does water represent? Gabe definitely was the "water" guy. He was not in sight when they built the fire -at all. BUT he kept holding the water map, found the water first and was the only one shown filling the water jugs. Hmmmm...have to ponder the meaning MB is trying to convey. Off the total superspoiling for Gabe- Zoe seems to be the peacemaker and she seems to be hanging with Kathy quite a bit. She tried to subtly calm Kathy down with she was having the confrontation with John, but she was backing her a little- she commented that they really hadn't spent a lot of time on the fire the first day. She seemed to walk with Kathy more than not and stood near her some. John doesn't seem to have a group yet that we are seeing- but that makes me suspicious- Mark B. likes to hide the real alliances for a while. Any way that was my . This was fun I'll try to be more prompt next week. |
Moondance | Tuesday, March 05, 2002 - 04:22 pm     VERY cool... Thanks Aware! |
Tess | Tuesday, March 05, 2002 - 04:27 pm     Wow!! You did an brilliant job there! I tape all the shows and watch at least twice, usually more like 3 or 4 times before the next episode and didn't see even half what you did. Thank you so much!! |
Crazydog | Tuesday, March 05, 2002 - 04:50 pm     Wow, this was really great. But is there a reason why we're focusing on him? Is he rumored to be the winner etc.? Or is he just this year's fan favorite like Ethan? |
Awareinva | Tuesday, March 05, 2002 - 04:58 pm     Crazydog- this is just my contribution to the superspoiler team Car54 got started. Hopefully there will be a message on each survivor. |
Discoinferno | Tuesday, March 05, 2002 - 05:00 pm     Aware--- thanks for a good start... I'll start on V tonight! |
Lancecrossfire | Tuesday, March 05, 2002 - 05:08 pm     Thanks for doing that Aware--very good job! |
Crazydog | Tuesday, March 05, 2002 - 06:23 pm     Oh, I get it now. This will be great information, I didn't realize there were assignments and that you were the first in! What a good idea! |
Tksoard | Tuesday, March 05, 2002 - 08:25 pm     Aware, that was really a great job!! You saw so much more of him than when we watch the show!! This will be great with all the players. It looks to me like Gabe and Tammy are going to be a couple, too!! Thanks again, Aware!!  |
Knightpatti | Tuesday, March 05, 2002 - 08:25 pm     Great job! |
Mindyrama | Wednesday, March 06, 2002 - 12:14 pm     Since I'm on Tammy I'm pretty excited, I like her being in an alliance with Gabe. I'll tape it tonight and try to get a Tammy Summary up tomorrow. If not I'll post a summary of 1 and 2 together. Not sure it'll be as good as yours..I'da never come up with the water/fire thing. |
Judy | Wednesday, March 06, 2002 - 12:26 pm     Way to jump in there Aware.... Now I am off to copy you for my Gina spoiling!! |
Awareinva | Friday, March 08, 2002 - 08:26 am     Episode 2: Gabe had a huge part in the Rotu segments; a lot of voiceover and a LOT TO SAY Nothing of Gabe in the recap; Episode 2 begins at Rotu camp Day 3: nighttime, begins with voiceover and confessional from Gabe, saying how he loves being in this tribe, he loves the spirit and how everyone is interacting in positive ways; clips show him sitting with Neleh and John, sleeping beside Neleh, voiceover by Gabe continues--This is most definitely the love shack (clips of the tribe sleeping in "shack"), but Kathy isn't trying to be one of us; she sleeps alone out by the fire (clip of Kathy sleeping alone). Day 4: Gabe sitting on the beach, Kathy walks past him alone and goes down the beach; Gabe and Tammy are shown getting wood in some kind of box with straps. Gabe is telling Tammy that being out here especially in the beginning, it is about being part of a group; that Kathy is choosing to sleep by herself, he comments that she is out there fishing by herself now; group scene with Gabe sitting by Neleh (he seems to be making rope or fishing line); voiceover by Gabe saying that Robert is the biggest guy and not having food seems to be taking the biggest toll on him (clips of Robert lying down and coming out to where Gabe and Neleh are); Gabe takes a piece of coconut(?) from Zoe; During the section on them working to get meat; Gabe is shown with a bow and arrow type deal- shooting short spears, arrows (guessing it is to spear fish); we see Gabe then sitting by John making a spear; Gabe and Tammy are shown again carrying wood in the box and come over to John showing Robert the shrimp he caught; Gabe comments to Tammy as they walk away from John "All we need is 30 more! (guess he wasn't too impressed at the one shrimp for 8 people ) Gabe, Tammy, Robert and Paschal are sitting in the love shack as Kathy yells about her discovery; I didn't see any sign of Gabe or Robert looking under the rocks with the others; there is a quick shot of Gabe and Robert watching as Neleh busts open the shells, Gabe is shown closeup eating one of the clams, snails Kathy found while he is standing by Tammy and Neleh; Gabe, Zoe and John watch Kathy walk away alone during her voiceover on how no one appreciated the food she found. Paschal, Gabe, Robert and Tammy are sitting together in camp as Kathy brings back find #2; Paschal is saying "we need more than 3 people to go get water" and then Kathy whistles; as Kathy's voiceover about how she wanted to have a little meeting to introduce her goodies plays out, we get a closeup of Gabe with kind of a puzzled, borderline eye roll look on his face- kind of what the h*ll does she want now? Gabe, Tammy, Robert, and Paschal are all sitting in camp while Kathy faces them to present her "find", Gabe is weaving fronds while Kathy does her speil about how good she is at finding food, but two things still bother her- the fire and the shelter. (I didn't see Zoe, John or Neleh during this part at all); Gabe says it's great you found food, but I don't think any of us fit into one role; Kathy comments on how she doesn't know them, doesn't know what Paschal does, Gabe asks then why don't you talk to him and stop going off by yourself; we're trying to be a society, there is more going on here than shelter, fire, food and going for water. Kathy says she wants a roof, Gabe answers that's not all I want, I want to get to know you before I want shelter; Kathy comments that they are all over her for asking for shelter; Gabe says "What aspect of being out here worries you most? Shelter? Then I'll do my best to assuage your worries." I love this kid- how many 20 year olds use the word "assuage"! Kathy proceeds to put the food BACK into her bag did she not share it? Gabe continues "This is an adventure out here, not just a hardship." he seemed very sincere about wanting to get her to have more fun and not stress so much; didn't seem rude or snippy Then voiceover by Gabe saying how we decided it was past time for shelter and it was a priority for Kathy so we made it a priority for the group. Gabe continues to "narrate" as the shelter is built, saying how it was nice to have something they could all sleep under and not have to worry about the elements; Gabe is seen at the beginning of the construction standing by Kathy, working with Tammy; inside putting up plastic, and helping Robert put the flag up. Zoe and Neleh are shown at the end of the construction, still no sign of John through this whole sequence; in the last scene of construction Kathy thanks Gabe and he says "No problem". Going to RC, Gabe is walking in front of Tammy and Robert; as they listen to Jeff, he is standing between John and Neleh with his arm around both their necks; on the dock he lines up between John and Tammy; Gabe plays a big role in the challenge- comments he got 19 rocks out while the others are shown getting one or two rocks out; Gabe swims down with John and Zoe to overturn the boat a brilliant plan which Maramoochie then steals; Gabe directs the others in getting the boat onto the dock and emptying it; when they win, Gabe hugs Neleh, sits on the boat watching Maraamu come in, then he takes the fishing stuff from JeffP; He hi 5's John while hugging Tammy as Maraamu walks away Day 5: Gabe shown working on a spear(?) when Neleh, Kathy and John bring mail; at the IC he is in the back row with Robert listening to JeffP; Gabe goes last in the challenge, blows flies off, has a slight hesitation in chewing but gets it down; when they go to the tie breaker, Gabe says they pick their brother from Boston to eat; Gabe is seen in closeup with a serious look at Neleh eats; Gabe and Tammy hug Neleh when she wins, Gabe gives a big cheer as Neleh holds up the Immunity Idol; no sign of Gabe in next week's preview Conclusions: Gabe, Tammy, Robert and Paschal are close- we saw them together quite a bit and they all seemed to be communicating with looks, etc. Gabe was confident enough to point out to Kathy that she needed to chill out a little and enjoy the experience; he did it in a nice way, but I'm not sure you would confront someone like that if they were in a dominant alliance in the tribe. Therefore, I'm guessing that Gabe is in an alliance of at least 4, probably 5; He is a nice guy though, he was not rude or even too arguementative. Like John did in Ep. 1, Gabe got onto making things right so that Kathy could be comfortable. In Kathy's behalf- it seems like she is making good points, just in a kind of over the top way- fire, food and shelter ARE important. I am wondering who the fifth in that group could be- gut feeling (LOL) tells me maybe it is Zoe, but don't have a real basis. Gabe definitely emerged as more of a dominant personality this time, he came off as the narrator for the Rotu sequences this time. I hope that isn't the Kiss of Death for him- I really like this young man!  |
Tksoard | Friday, March 08, 2002 - 08:49 am     Great job again, Aware!! I think you've convinced me that he is the one to watch!! I REALLY like him after this eps!! You discribe him so well!!  |
Resortgirl | Friday, March 08, 2002 - 08:54 am     Thanks Aware! I think I'm going to like him too. He was very diplomatic in his dealings with Kathy. And I like that word assauge too! |
Whowhere | Friday, March 08, 2002 - 10:28 am     Someone in another post said he was the token gay guy. He's NOT gay!! He is just an intellectual, well-rounded young man! I like him A-LOT! |
Hippyt | Friday, March 08, 2002 - 06:50 pm     John's the token gay guy! Aware good job,I have to do John ,and I'm putting it off! He said too much too!!!!! Why didn't we sign on for Paschal??? |
Luvmom | Friday, March 08, 2002 - 06:55 pm     I haven't read much about Gabe yet,but I heard he works or worked at Belly's with Boogie.Does anyone know if this is true? |
Urgrace | Friday, March 08, 2002 - 10:28 pm     Aware, please check your tape on the Epi 2 boat RC. I think it is Neleh that Gabe is hugging when they won, not Tammy. <I don't know why, but they are getting the two of those gals mixed up on other sites too> Also I think Zoe is part of their little group. Did you see her cuddled up to Robert in the night cam? |
Awareinva | Saturday, March 09, 2002 - 07:45 am     Yeah, Urgrace, you're right. Gabe hugs Neleh and then Tammy joins too. I didn't make that real clear above. I really really hope Zoe, not John, is the fifth in the group. I like her a lot from the little they have let us see of her- talk about UTR!!! |
Lancecrossfire | Sunday, March 10, 2002 - 05:00 pm     Aware, you did a great job on the summaries of Gabe. He is an interesting character. He attempts to get along with others before anything else--yet he is great in the challenges!! He moved more rocks at one time than anyone else they showed. He works hard, and he is quiet about how he does things--not a lot of flag waving about himeself. He could go a long way. |
Urgrace | Monday, March 11, 2002 - 07:59 pm     Have noticed that Gabe and Gina have a lot of personal interests in common. They also were both first to pick up the water map, and have other connections to water, canoeing, strong swimmers, etc. Both establised their positions without drawing undue attention and state their minds diplomatically. It will be interesting to see these two make it into the merge. |
Awareinva | Thursday, March 14, 2002 - 07:36 pm     Arghhh! Just lost all of Day 7!!! Going off pouting, kicking stupid computer...I hate you, I hate you, I hate you..... |
Moondance | Thursday, March 14, 2002 - 07:38 pm     I am sorry Aware |
Awareinva | Thursday, March 14, 2002 - 08:02 pm     OK trying this again....stupid computer! Episode 3 Day 7- Rain during the night, shelter leaked; Gabe in grey long sleeved shirt,glasses, buff around his neck, looking very serious and staring at something off camera, as Kathy talks about how how it was sleeping, and how blankets would make all the difference; cut to Tammy saying how some people jumped on repairing the shelter; shot of Gabe in sleeveless t with white writing "Carolina Panthers", no glasses, tan pants up a tree cutting palm fronds with a machete, Robert catching; Close up of Gabe cutting, John and Robert catching fronds; Confessional Gabe: grey sleeveless shirt above, no glasses, saying "There's something about this tribe, there really is, we get a lot of strength from the good cheer and the kindness and the strong spirit that we have." Cut to shot of Gabe with no shirt, a rope bracelet, tan pants holding something, John walks up and says something (couldn't understand) they bump fists and Gabe says "Always!" Tammy (I think) Kathy and Gabe looking at the shelter, Kathy asks for four palm fronds, Gabe says "green fronds?" He has no shirt, tan pants, glasses, and is chewing something (like you would chew gum); we get a close shot of Gabe, lots of stubble and a necklace of some kind around his neck; Gabe points at the shelter while Kathy talks about the kind of door she wants to make. Gabe has a voice over saying "Being with Kathy the first couple of days was rough, but she's turned around 100% and I love it." Neleh talks about Paschal being the father figure; shot of Paschal with his arms around Neleh and Gabe's necks. Gabe has no shirt, dark shorts, buff on upper right arm, sunglasses and bandage on his finger. Paschal kisses them both on the head; Paschal says Gabe called him "Pappy" and now he is pappy to the tribe. As John hollers for someone to pee on him snicker, snicker...that's hard to write with a straight face, we get a shot of peple looking: Kathy alone, Paschal alone, and then a group shot with Gabe in the dark shorts, with Tammy, Zoe and what looks like Paschal bending over As the bamboo arrives, Gabe is not seen carrying it out of the water; as Robert cuts his foot, Neleh and Gabe are untying bundles on the beach; Gabe takes over the construction plan- directing the building, drawing the plan, laying out the design, etc. He comments "Genius, if I do say so myself" Confessional- dressed same as earlier, Gabe says the raft was a really fun project; Zoe finally gets to talk and says how Robert and Gabe built the raft; lots of shots of Gabe and Robert building, we see John, Tammy and Paschal in a few shots; Gabe has a voiceover saying how they wouldn't be up against anything like they had built that this is a cool craft, they are all having fun and would like to win some more challenge. I have to say that Gabe really helped the team on this one- the design with the raised middle really paid off once the weight was loaded on the rafts; at first Rotu didn't have a big advantage that I could see against the slapped together Maraamu craft and by the way in Maraamu's defense the forlorn little pile of sticks we last saw at their camp was not what they actually had at the challenge- they did put together a decent craft But once the thing was loaded- getting the middle out of the water let Rotu ride higher and that had to have helped in that final sprint! WTG, Gabe!! |
