Julieboo | Friday, March 22, 2002 - 07:28 am     I have to say reading these posts has calmed me down somewhat, but after rewatching the last episode, I was just dumbfounded by both Rob & Sean. (more horrified with Rob though). Why was Sean bringing up the theme music from ROOTS? Were the white teammates forcing Sean to do stuff for them? Gimme a break. He is insulting to descendants of real slaves by saying that... I'm just glad they sealed their fate... And it was also amusing to see actual sweat on both Rob and Sean. |
Twiggyish | Friday, March 22, 2002 - 07:39 am     I was amazed at Sean, too. He brings up race a lot. If I didn't see him in action, I would never have believed it. Of course, it's possible we are only seeing creative editing. |
Julieboo | Friday, March 22, 2002 - 07:43 am     I don't think we can blame any of Sean's antics on editing. |
Wink | Friday, March 22, 2002 - 07:50 am     >>She told me that Sean teaches in South Central L.A. only to support himself as an actor, which is the reason he moved west in the first place.<<< >>>That's his stated motivation for doing Survivor - not the money, but the visibility.<<< And the Academy/Emmy Award for Outstanding Performance by a Jackass in Reality Programming goes to...... At the moment Sean is leading the race followed by the other nominees, George, Will Mega, Justin, Mikey, Rob |
Gina8642 | Friday, March 22, 2002 - 05:45 pm     I'm thinking Sean makes it to the merge, and maybe a bit further. I finally got around to watching Hunter's interview on the CBS morning show. It sounded like the two of them had not buriend the hatchet. Usually the early bootees seem to bond during their time together - and this doesn't seem to have happened with these two yet. 'Course, these clues have been really obvious in the past, and I wonder if MB/CBS is doing a better job of prepping them before interviews now - so they will give less away. |
Lancecrossfire | Friday, March 22, 2002 - 06:01 pm     Well, Sean has certainly picked a style/strategy for the game. Had the tribes stayed the same, there would have been one of 2 results--Sean would have left before the merge, or he would have left shorting after, feeling the affects of Pagonging. It seems clear Sean has no desire to win by making friends with anyone along the way. Brow-beat maybe, intimidate, for sure, and definitely screw off as much as possible. If he makes it to the merge now, it will be because the original members of Rotu still in Rotu wouldn't throw a challenge. |
Squaredsc | Friday, March 22, 2002 - 06:47 pm     ok folks, my vcr actually worked this time and if i have a free hour i will do my episode recap sometime this weekend.  |
Squaredsc | Saturday, March 23, 2002 - 05:42 pm     Episode 4 ok folks doing this from memory, i am working all weekend and really don't feel like re-watching and typing word for word. anyhoo. maraamu came back from tc, gina tried to start a discussion as to why they all voted of hunter. no one really said outright, gina also tried talking to sarah and sarah basically said it was her strategy or something like that. gina of course thought they were nitwits for doing this. next day(?) both tribes meet with jp who tells them to stand on some disks that are laying on the ground seemingly there was no particular order. the folks pick their disks and told to turn them over one by one and there were the same tribal cloths they have been using but whoever is standing on roto/maraamu are now part of that particular tribe. the numbers remain the same but now sean, vee, and rob are part of rotu and neleh, kathy, and paschel(sp) are part of maraamu. they all start greeting and hugging. (btw--maraamu is now made up of 4 females and one male) each tribe goes back to their camps and the new members are shown around. gina and sarah are showing neleh, kathy, and pappy the fruit trees, water hole, etc. kathy immediately takes charge (she must be very successful at realestate), they go hiking in the woods and she doesn't even care that her own original tribe mates are falling behind, and of course no one cares that sarah is last. they find a stream/water hole with some kind of shellfish which they say is shrimp(doesn't look like it to me) and they are trying to catch some and sarah says that she is going back to camp but immediately gets lost. yadda yadda yadda. |
Squaredsc | Saturday, March 23, 2002 - 05:52 pm     back at the new and improved Rotu, the new members are shown around(don't remember if they were shown the waterfall) the original rotus immediately get the new rotus working, and working, and working, each new rotu talks about this in their interviews. sean (of course) makes mention of slavery("sunup to sundown picking that cotton, sunup to sundown whipped by the massa, sunup to sundown chains and shackels, no more auction block for me, no more auction block for me..." sorry had to throw in a negro slave song) then (now my memory gets a little fuzzy) rob/sean are laying on the beach being served by tammy saying how they are going to be runnin' things and if she keeps serving she can stay then sean has a confrontation with gabe(can't remember which came first) about all of the work going on. now for the challenge, some kind of big woven puzzel. whoever completes the puzzel wins immunity. gabe calls out directions for rotu and kathy calls out directions for maraamu. it appears that maraamu didn't have a clue as to how to do a puzzel, in my experience you get the border done then go in the middle, don't know what kathy was trying to do but no one could get a word in edgewise with her overtalking anyone who said or tried to say anything. big surprise, rotu wins. sarah gets the walk of shame. i am sure all the gentlemen out there will be sorry to see her go. bye bye sarah, it was nice knowing you. |
Squaredsc | Saturday, March 23, 2002 - 06:01 pm     My Observations: well unless rotu starts throwing challenges there may not be anyone from the original maraamu to make it to the merge after all only gina is left and since most of kathy's team doesn't really like her she may not want to cozy up to her and instead should stick with neleh and pappy. as for rotu, we still haven't seen much of most of this tribe and if tammy wasn't serving sean/rob we may not have seen her at all. possibly vee is trying to distance herself from sean/rob 'cause the power of three still won't hold any weight with rotu who still has 5 original members. unless there is some other kind of twist there could once again be some pagoning going on. there is some new information about sean and gabe, could be true, may not be true so don't know what to make of this yet. unfortunately i don't think that sean is going to change his gameplan(don't really know what his gameplan is except exposure). so if rotu loses a challenge he may be the first or second to go between him and rob. hopefully vee can get in good with rotu to increase her chances at making the final 3 at least.  |
Lancecrossfire | Sunday, March 24, 2002 - 01:52 pm     Square--great summary of the week's show for Sean. Since we see only about 40 minutes of 3 days, we may not have a true indication of how much Rob is showing his "approach" compared to Sean. By what we are shown, Rob showing a real lack of respect or consideration for anyone is shown only to the camera. And I agree that the willingness (or not) of throwing a challenge will have a huge affect on how long Sean (and Rob) stick around. Looking at who to boot from a different view, I will ask it this way--of the 5 original Rotu left at Rotu, is there anyone they dislike on their own tribe more than Sean, Vee, or Rob?? It sure doesn't seem so. The thing about Sean and Gabe--not a clue about that one. As someone who has been in lots of competitive situations againts friends, I do know that the idea is to still beat them while the game is going on. |
Awareinva | Monday, March 25, 2002 - 07:23 am     Thanks squaredsc!! I think the conversation between Gabe and Sean was not as big a deal as it looked. I think Gabe probably tried to give him some advice about fitting it, etc. (like he did Kathy) and Sean didn't want to take it. He had a point about working hard etc. when they know that Rotu will axe the Maraamu if they go to TC. I think Rotu will be smart to throw the IC and get rid of the two strong Maraamu guys before the merge and individual immunity challenges. But will they be able to tone it down? Seems like a toss up. And we haven't seen a lot of "smart" moves by Survivors in the past! |
Gina8642 | Saturday, March 30, 2002 - 02:30 am     Did anyone notice the white thing around Sean when he voted. It looked like it could be a bandage. I saw it when he voted. He was wearing a very loose t-shirt with the sleeves cut away. When he raised is arm to show his vote, I could see something white wrapped around his lower ribs. Wonder what happened to him?? |
Squaredsc | Saturday, March 30, 2002 - 07:58 am     gina i missed that, have to rewind the vcr and will get back to you later 2day. |
Lancecrossfire | Saturday, March 30, 2002 - 12:01 pm     Gina--I saw that as well. |
Moondance | Saturday, March 30, 2002 - 12:08 pm     Now you guys have my curiosity up... I didn't tape (or I thought I did and didn't) so please anyone want to report... buuullller bullller |
Gina8642 | Saturday, March 30, 2002 - 01:52 pm     It wasn't a very wide bandage - if it was a bandage at all - so it couldn't be anything too serious. Maybe a cut? It is hard to put band aids on the torso, sometimes it is necessary to put a wrap all the way around just to get something to stay is place. (Especially when one is always getting damp and dirty.) I also thought it might be holding a mic battery pack in place. But I've read that they don't mic the players, all the sound is supposed to be through boom mics. So, I'm just not sure.... |
Grooch | Saturday, March 30, 2002 - 04:49 pm     I noticed it. I was wondering why he was wearing a bra. It looked liked when a women wears a bra w/ a cut off top, w/ no sleeves and you see the bra band going around their torso. Hmmmm... I saw it and then forgot about it 2 seconds later. Now I am wondering if he is hurt. Good catch, Gina! |
Gina8642 | Sunday, March 31, 2002 - 04:05 am     I looked at the tape again. It was as I remebered it. It was very white - which means it couldn't have been on long because it would have gotton dirty. It also looked more like tape then gauze. But sometimes they use tape over gauze with injuries. I also watched very carefully when he picked up his torch to walk away from tribal council. Didn't see any flashes of white even though he had his arm up - we should have been able to see it then as well - nothing. Maybe they do mic them for tribal council, but nothing else. When I watch TV now (and sometimes movies as well), I see these battery back "bumps" all the time. They are used on all the TV shows, good and bad. Just watch the lower back of nearly anyone when they turn from the camera. Right above the waistline. I think it is kinda obnoxious that they don't even bother to try to hide them anymore. |
Moondance | Sunday, March 31, 2002 - 11:01 am     I don't think they would battery back them at TC... too easy too boom it... oh wait the ocean in the back ground... yep they might want to BB them... boom would pick up the waves. It did flash through my mind though that this shot of him could be frm a different TC... maybe he gets hurt in the next epi? |
Tksoard | Sunday, March 31, 2002 - 11:14 am     Maybe Sean hurt or cut his lower back at the same time Gabe cut his lip!! hmmmm!!  |
Lilliegirl | Sunday, March 31, 2002 - 06:24 pm     Maybe Gabe was hungry. |
Squaredsc | Monday, April 01, 2002 - 06:18 am     sorry folks, once again i didn't feel like looking at the tape again. but i will paraphrase from another site. hope to have it ready by tomorrow.  |
Squaredsc | Monday, April 01, 2002 - 09:40 am     Episode 5..... At the former Love Shack, not much was going on. Sean and Co. were laying around, Rob did a voice over, yada yada yada. At Maraamu there was a prayer session, Gina is feeling good, love is in the air. RC was a three blind mice routine with 1 caller and the 3 blind mice who had to build a Tiki(totum pole), low and behold Maraamu won. Who would have thought, for Rotu, Gabe was the caller, John, Tammy, Robert(?) were the mice, for Maraamu, Kathy was the caller, all the rest were the mice. (I don't know about anyone else but Kathy's screeching was getting on my nerves, but she got the job done.) The winner got to raid the other's camp and basically took everything not nailed down, but there were some forbidden items they weren't allowed to take. In the meantime, John had a conversation with Gabe and Tammy, yada yada yada, Gabe basically says he is in this for the group love, getting to know one another, yada yada yada. So John decides its time to get rid of the flower child. He goes to everyone who says they have his back. Then he goes to the new rotus, at least he talked with Sean and Rob, I don't remember seeing him talk to Vee. But, Sean says that they can just sit back and see what will play out. Rob talks to the flower child and tells him what's going on with John and other rotus, he goes through his godfather spiel(sp). Next is IC where they have to do an SOS signal, but of course Maraamu has this in the bag 'cause they didn't leave Rotu with anything to make a decent SOS signal. For Rotu, its Sean, Rob, Vee, and Zoe. All members of Maraamu participate. Maraamu wins, how surprising. On to tribal council. This is Rotus first time at TC, JP asks some very tough questions, John says he is the leader, Sean rolls his eyes. Anyhoo, the flower child is voted off. |
Squaredsc | Monday, April 01, 2002 - 09:43 am     my observations--------i don't really have too many observations. sean wasn't really shown too much this episode. john is becoming the person to watch now, it seems that he and rob will go head to head and that should be interesting. finally got to see zoe. i think that john showed his hand a little too soon, if he wants to last till the merge, he may have to kiss don rob's ring, wouldn't that be a twist.  |
