Ok how in the heck do you guys get that Rotu wins from those vidcaps... some of the promo vidcaps that they are using for the RobFather thing and epi5 has Sarah in one pix and Rob with a yellow buff (helllooo old pix mixed in with new pix) so I am confused how everyone is picking Rotu and Gina to go.

Moonie--
I'm confused! It seems to me that most (of us anyway) are picking marmoo to winIC and voting rob off. I think some of the confusion is that there are now several different Promos which have been broadcast for tomorrow's show and the vidcaps posted at fever and sucks/mess hall. So different folks are referring to different sets of vidcaps and posting at crospurposes, as it were.
Does that help, or have I just made it worse?

No I saw them... those are the ones I am talking about... if anything I think it points to Rob off... I read Mess and SS and fever and I get Rob but above Bat and co are talking Gina so I am confused:)

yeah me too, I personally think it could go either way. Rotu win, Kathy or Gina. Marmoo win, Robfather or Sean. An outside nod to Gabe (as postmerge threat?)

Well, at least the odds are 1 out of 4 (or 5! or 12!)

I am not considering the video clips at all. My Real Player has cramps and I have not even seen them. They give no clue as to who wins or who goes as far as I can determine from those talking about them.

It is a total pot shot which team wins, so I go back and forth from Gina to Rob and now I am even considering Sean. I have no clue. Just guessing. Gina would be the logical pick if Mar loses. That is where that is coming from.

Hey Bat

It is the video CAPS I am talking about not clips... and you can see them at http://survivorfever.net/index4.html

Even your computer can look at them:)

Thanks Moon. The way I see it is.... Mar must be looking pretty dull these past 3 days and we have been saturated with their footage. Focusing on Rotu makes sense now. At last there is some action coupled with the obvious fact that they HAD to show us Mar the past 4 weeks because they lost every damn time. Doesn't mean Rotu loses, however.

The IC challenge must have Sean, Rob and John so it is not clear to me just what these pictures are showing.

Thanks to jmj007 on the Sucks board

interesting thread

Godfather Promo Transcript (seen on JAG)

(NOTE: Everything Rob says here is during confessionals.)

Voiceover: 1 man pulling the strings.

Rob: "I'm the one that's been controlling it for the most part"

Voiceover: And manipulating the castaways.

Rob: "They're gonna do what I tell them to do."

Voiceover: He was Don of the island.

Rob: "That's straight from the Godfather."

Voiceover: But now he's on a new tribe and his reign may be over.

Rob: "Don't count me out."

Voiceover: It's the Survivor you can't refuse. <END>

Ok, I have clearly been hanging with Bat too much... I too am wavering toward the concept that Rotu does not throw the challenge or that even if they do, unless Rotu sits down and just doesn't compete, Maraamu is too slow, dumb, weak to win...
at which point somebody gotta go, and I think Gina will go before Kathy unless they team up. I don't think Kathy would risk aligning with the loser tribe- Rotu is too team oriented and would reject her if she booted one of their own...she will make up with N&P.

But I really WANT Rob to go. We still have another day to decide.

Remember people... every season we think the players are plotting and planning rationally and they are not... how many times in S3 did we see the chance for Samburu to pull it together and rally... if stupid Kim Powers or stupid Brandon, or stupid Frank...or stupid MamaKim had just seized the day...but they were voting emotionally-not rationally. We are watching the show yelling at them and they just are not thinking that way.

Cute idea with the voice over. They got carried away with the comparison to the Godfather and read a lot into it.

No way will the old Mar escape pagonging. Any fight for power in Rotu will be won by an orignal Rotu.

Still no clues for me about who goes. Rob's whole Godfather bit is funny and they will play that up if he goes or stays. Good entertainment.

Yep Car. No matter how hard MB tries to mislead or confuse, there is a basic logic behind the votes. That does not change. Original teams stick together as do alliances. No one changes alliances.

Gina not Kathy to go on Mar and either Rob or Sean go on Rotu.

I am still going between the three. I voted for Rob but am ready to change at any moment.

I know this is a weird question but have we ever thought of voting differently to have a better chance of moving up in the ranks as a team? I know it would stink for the the individuals who vote against the logical choices but if the votes were spread out we would be covering our collective A$$es.. does that make ANY sense... probably not! LOL!

I think that is happening naturally Resort. We seem to be splintered here between all possibilities.

well we could all go with our "gut" like lex did and then chop each other's heads off if we make the wrong pics

I think we will mostly just vote for whoever Acme picks.

I have been ignoring spoilers this time around, with mixed results. Whatever Acme says, is fine with me, but I'm sticking with Rob off this week.

Well Car, that may be true but not until we have exhausted every possibility, gone from the logical to absurd and back again, changing our votes at least twice and written every possibility in the Deadpool Vote Only thread.

I know, and then we will vote for whoever Acme pics

I vowed to do just that but the detective in me will not sit still. I don't even care if I am wrong, I just love the hunt.

I hate that Acme posts at the last minute....being a working west coaster who doesn't get on the internet until after deadpool closing time sucks!

I love going with my gut. I've got to do SOMETHING with it.
