Rotu Becomes Maraamu:
Archive through March 29, 2002
Amac | Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 06:22 pm     Incredible. Rob, Sean and Vee couldn't have planned it better if they had tried, and of course they didn't, they just sat back and watched. John gets paranoid and leads Rotu in a quest to rid itself of its hardest worker, nicest guy, all around most appealing member. [Like what happened to Hunter--deja vu all over again.] So what happens next? Do John, Sean, Rob and Vee become the power within Rotu? Absolutely incredible. |
Moondance | Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 06:24 pm     I am in shock myself! |
Llkoolaid | Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 06:24 pm     This is the best survivor ever, I hate getting crappy scores in deadpool and surviival but that means they certainly have me guessing. It is way more fun to watch when it is unpredictable. I am loving it. |
Car54 | Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 06:26 pm     I wonder if Gabe voted for himself. He knew it was over. |
Gina8642 | Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 06:28 pm     LOL at Llkoolaid. I switched my "on" vote to Gabe because I was sick of losing. I should have stuck with my risky choice (Sean.) But it was worth it, this was the best episode yet. Do you suppose "The Underdogs" could even refer to Sean/Rob/Vee and not Gina's Maraamu>??? |
Seamonkey | Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 06:34 pm     I wonder what he thought, that no one would form alliances? Why on earth wouldn't he join with the other old Rotus? And if he wouldn't, seems like he's one confused guy.. maybe Mike Boogie coached him on strategy - bwahahahaaaa!! I know the world seemed to think Gabe was the Ethan clone, but I never saw him that way. And, it looks like those who lived with him also didn't see it that way. That raid reward sure seems mean spirited.. how ironic tho for Sean-Rob-Vee to get blankets and such with no effort, and for Kathy-Neleh-Pascal to be able to get them BACK!! Looks like the random switch was VERY good for Gina and Kathy, so far. 1.5 hours and I can actually see this thing. |
Llkoolaid | Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 06:37 pm     You are gonna love it Seamonkey. Gabe raps as bad as Mike Boogie. |
Lilliegirl | Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 06:45 pm     Did anyone see Gabe holding a teddy bear while he was rapping.I was shocked when Gabe got his ownself voted off what was he thinking about when he said im not playing a game, im in this for a adventure, I am lost . |
Wink | Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 06:45 pm     Yup he raps as bad as Mikey but his character is much different. It seems odd that he would go on a show like this and not want to win but he seemed sincere when he talked about wanting to build a society with a group of strangers. I'm happy he didn't turn out to be Mikey deja vu all over again. |
Llkoolaid | Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 06:47 pm     I sure got fooled this time, I really thought Gabe was going to go a long way in this game. I am sure not counting Rob, Sean and Vee out now. |
Seamonkey | Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 07:08 pm     From the preview, he sounded way worse than Mike Boogie; that is to say, abysmal.. Boogie is an idiot but he never did a rap holding a scruffy teddbear, fgs.. |
Awareinva | Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 07:25 pm     The teddy was his luxury item. Ok, if Gabe is Mike Boogie- who will be his best bud who turns into the evil Dr. Will? Pappy, Neleh ?? LOL what a hoot that would be to watch....Paschal becomes the evil schemer |
Jbean | Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 08:37 pm     i liked gabe and was sorry to see him go. the rapping thing was stupid, but he seems like a genuine person. i still can't believe they chose him over dumb and dumber! kind of funny, it sounded like jeff probst was scolding them for voting him off at the end. i think they're gonna get burned! |
Tksoard | Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 09:11 pm     Jeff doesn't seem to be very happy with anything these people do. But he sure did look good on the boat tonight in that blue t-shirt!! He looked like a whole different person. Great smile and dimples!! Nice!!  |
Hippyt | Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 09:31 pm     I like Jeff too,he never looks bad to me! |
Joan | Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 09:38 pm     I think Jeff is in shock! hehe During the past three seasons (except with Samburu), the weak ones have gone first and then the strong have battled it out during the merge. I cannot believe Sean lazed around on the beach, chewed out Gabe, essentially quit the game entirely and still was at NO risk for being voted out. Unbelievable. I want John to go now though, he is a nutcase. He is Lex all over again! Overreacting to everything and desperate to be in control. |
Cliotheleo | Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 10:42 pm     Car54, I wondered the same thing (did Gabe vote for himself.) He seemed to resigned to leaving after the second ballot was cast against him. Seamonkey, perhaps I’m getting soft, but I wondered about the psychological effects of allowing Maaramu to raid Rotu’s tribe. I’m mean it’s one thing to lose and see another tribe be rewarded, but to have to stand there and watch them take virtually anything of yours they wanted? Oh well, it’s just a game. I’m a little unclear about Rob, Sean and Vee’s strategy at this point since they all voted for Gabe as well. Are they trying to bore their way into control of the tribe by making the other members think that THEY are being voted off? I mean, I don’t think it’s a BAD thing they did, I just don’t see how they couldn’t have equally benefited by voting for John. But then again, maybe they weren’t sure that Gabe was being voted out by anyone but John, and wanted to guarantee that Gabe would be out if any of the other members tried voting for them ……………. Excuse me y’all, I’m just thinking out loud. Oh, and what is the determining factor if there is a tie in the voting? Aren’t previous votes no longer in the picture now? |
Resortgirl | Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 10:46 pm     I'm in shock too! I went to sleep around 9:30 (I was worn out from screaming at the television) and woke up at midnight.. now I can't sleep! Evil lives at Rotu and it's name is John! I could NOT believe that he voted out Gabe instead of Sean or Rob.... Gabe isn't a threat.. after all he is just there for the experience not the $1M. I have been rooting for Zoe from the beginning even though we haven't seen much of her and am a bit disappointed in her going along with John, but I guess it WAS in her best interest. Yes, it was a good show but John is a paranoid FREAK! And sorry Joan, but I don't agree with the comparison to Lex... LEX ROCKS! LOL! |
Seamonkey | Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 11:31 pm     There must have been other thinks that inspired them ALL to jump on voting out Gabe, seems to me.. It did seem like a faux pas to approach rob and sean who then of course had to tell Gabe, but Gabe was pretty passive.. seems like he could have allied with the old Moos. I did think the "raid" was a mean thing but figure that three of the raiders had won much of the stuff they took, and three of the raided had not won that stuff, so.. i guess it works. I think Jeff is being increasingly manipulative with his questions at Tribal Council.. definitely poking and prodding in ways that could actually change votes.. think he should BUTT OUT. I guess if they don't count prior votes, then a tie would be broken with a question the two would have to answer, or questions until one missed one. But, who knows, maybe Jeff would make them box or wrestle? And.. yup.. Gabe sure isn't a threat now, is he.. |
Whoami | Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 11:36 pm     So, wasn't it mentioned somewhere that Gabe was shown with a bloody lip in some promo? I thought I read a post (don't remember what thread), where we were to see some behind the scenes fighting? And what about those broken teeth he came back with (that was supposedly reported by his twin sister in thier local newspaper). Maybe more will be revealed on ES in the morning. Oh, and I'd probably end up liking John a ton more if when, next week Rob asks him, "Do I look like I have Stupid printed across my face," John says "Uh...Yea!"  |
Seamonkey | Friday, March 29, 2002 - 12:45 am     Yeah, could be on the Early Show, or at least on the Los Angeles local CBS news.. that is where they teasted the backstage fighting. Maybe Peter and Hunter tackled him after he was booted?? Or Sara got him distracted and he cracked a tooth, or Patricia decked him? Nahhh. |
Car54 | Friday, March 29, 2002 - 03:11 am     There was a list of the times/dates that these local teasers would air. CBS puts them out on their feeds to the local affiliates and the affiliates use them as feature material. Dang, yesterday was the first time in a week I didn't watch my local early CBS news. Of course. BTW...the next rumor is that John & Tammy go soon. There is a spoiler that they are 7&8. Hope not... need to get rid of the Robfather first. |
Aussiedeb | Friday, March 29, 2002 - 03:21 am     Im just hoping that the remaining original Rotu get smart and get rid of Robfather. That guy is irritating the hell out of me. And Sean, I want him gone too, but he seemed more mellow last nite than he previously. Good Morning Car im up early so I can go to college and get my books. |
Car54 | Friday, March 29, 2002 - 03:55 am     Eat a good breakfast Deb, and make sure you pack a lunch. Have a nice day! |
Fruitbat | Friday, March 29, 2002 - 04:05 am     I love the way this season is unfolding. Hopefully this will set a tone for future Survivors and pagonging will become a thing of the past. I was not surprized to see Gabe go once we got a glimpse of his personality and attitude. You can't be in a game and not play it. He came across as arrogant and superior. I liked what I saw of Tammy but if those rumors are true it looks like Sean, Rob, Vee and Robert may outlast her. I hope we hear Pappy, Kathy and Neleh talk about Gabe being out. Wonder if they will be surprized. Gina surely will! I am not particularly attached to any players this season though I like Vee and would like to see her win. Ohhhhhhhhhh this is sooooooooo good. |
