Wow that was a good survivor. I for one while thikning the move a bit foolish understand why they did it. They needed someone to blame and with Hunter being the leader and the strongest they figured we'd better get rid of the best player now while we still can.

While I think the move was a bit early it wasn't that bad of a strategy. Also I did enjoy how MB was making it seem like Sean was the one to go and the most likely. I don't even think MB saw that one coming.

I also enjoyed how they played with Hunter's mind. That was classic!!! And what's his face's godfather quote was also classic.

I do love a good mindf**k so this had to be my favorite episode. I mean I don't like that guy but he does have the right plan. Everyone pretty much decided to get rid of the head guy.

With only 5 of them left that means whoever is in an alliance can pretty much get rid of the rest.

If you figure you're gonna lose get rid of the one who can mess up your alliance and that way you have the controlling factor if you're gonna wind up going to TC a lot...which Marboohoo has been doing.

Personally I don't see too much wrong with what they did. I wasn't a big ole hunter fan anyway so I had no vested interest in him or how far he could go. I knew he wasn't gonna get too far being a sadder Colby and a much more likeable Silas.

This move just made Marboo more interesting to me. Mind games is part of the game. I do notice how the next episode has MB sticking his storyline creating hand in to make sure things go as he wants.

Say what happened to them saying they weren't gonna give them food? What was that RICE crap all about. Sheesh at least stick to the rules that YOU said at the start.

Anyhoo I'm finally looking forward to the next episode.

Help....can someone tell me what Hunter's final words were. I taped the show and it ran out on the last minute.

They will be posted on the CBS.com Survivor site tomorrow (or they might actually be there now).

Here you go:

That was a good one, guys. I really don't understand the logic behind it right now, but hey, you got me, and more power to you. I wish you guys the best of luck out there, and you know what? I've had a blast. I came here to have fun; obviously, I set goals for myself along the way. Number one goal was: I made it here. I would have liked to go a lot farther. I think I have the tools and the ability to do so, but it's a game, and sometimes you don't understand all the moves the other player makes, but it happens that way. My other main objective was to come here and walk away holding my head high, knowing that I'd played the game the way I wanted to play it. I can do that, and I can walk away with a smile. Knowing that I was in paradise here, eating grapefruit.

I was camping with a bunch of knuckleheads, though, and I'll tell you that to your face when I see you again, so don't worry about it. And -- I will phone the Red Cross and let them know where you guys are so you can be airlifted out of there after you die of starvation and dehydration after the next couple days! Don't think that life's not going to be hard on you guys. I hope you guys make it. Hang in there, Gina. It's been a blast, this has been a great experience. I wear this buff proudly, always will, and look back with no regrets. Would have liked to have gone further but hey, that's the way the ball bounces. So I'm off for a good dinner, hopefully, and we'll go from there. I've enjoyed it. Good luck to everybody.

Considering the fleeting ship maraamu is on they had no other choice. Until MB changes the scope of the game this is how you have to play this game. I really don't see what the big deal is in getting rid of Hunter at this point. It's not like he proved to be an asset at winning immunity for the team. If you feel at this point he might be a threat then go ahead and get rid of him. Something needs to change in this game though. Perhaps allowing a new pattern in voting that eliminates aligning so early. Perhaps doing away with teams in the beginning would help as well. As it stands I do have to admit I think Rob is playing this game the best given the structure of the whole thing. Sean had other reasons for getting rid of Hunter that will later bite him in the back but if the game remains the same I think Rob could go pretty far. I think Hunter was a sore loser and a bit full of himself to suggest they couldn't survive daily without him. Perhaps this is one of the reasons he got booted so early.

I agree C1mag. Previous shows have illustrated the necessity of getting rid of a strong contender to win early on. Ethan is the shinning example of this. They all should have seen that very early on.

I liked Hunter but I enjoyed this twist more. We have no idea what is coming next. That is perfect.

Me too Bat. I was too excited to watch TAR afterward...that is a good sign this was a VERY entertaining episode.

I liked Hunter too, but he tipped his hand too early and lost. From his last words he totally understood the game.

I said over in V's superspoiling thread that part of me hoped she would stick with Rob, Sarah and Sean just becasue the turnaround from "Hunter is the superleader" to his downfall would make great TV!

I had the right idea but I voted Gina off this week - I figured they would keep Hunter one more week and try to win something. His strength was all that was keeping them close and they won't have a chance at a win without some major MarkB manipulation. I still think we will see Gina go next- how else could they have the romance we have seen touted? Then Mark B knows we will all be watching just to see these slimeballs go down!! :)

Maybe Rob and Sarah don't realize what Sean has been doing (or not doing LOL) but unless he really steps up the pace, their little alliance won't be worth much if it goes into the merge as a minority. You can get control of your tribe but if your tribe goes into the merge less in number .... well, can you say PAGONG, boys and girls?

Without a major twist (and I agree- until one more boot they can't do much with uneven numbers), this tribe is history. Rotu has had 9 days to bond- and they are truly the "Love Tribe". They will never lose that bond now, even if they are split up. I mean, would you pick Sean or Rob over Gabe or Paschal? I know I wouldn't and it would take a very short time to realize that!! Say "bye bye" Maramoos!!!!!

It was an interesting episode but can someone please tell me why they don't cook that shellfish, they could make a stew with some of those roots and the shellfish, I gag everytime I see them eating that slime.

YES, Kool. I have wondered that very same thing. There is no need to eat it raw. Curious, indeed.

Saw Hunter on the Early show. He implied that he and Sean had not spoken and reconciled their issues...makes me think Sean makes the jury.

I could also see Sean being the next one voted off and being bitter and refusing to talk to Hunter.

Also, didn't Jeff say they could use anything on the island to make their raft? DOn't they still have their rubber boat? I would have thought they would incorporate that and it would have helped them.

I started to post saying how sucky that would be for anyone on Rotu to go before Sean and company- but how boring would a Rotu love fest be??? Although it would fit our sense of fairness....snore,zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

I am actually hoping that Mark B. comes up with something that keeps these nuts around!! That would be such great TV!!! If he can do that, the man's a genius!!

Actually, if only Rotu remains it may be very interesting. They would have to form alliances. That would rock their boat in a big way.

Car, I think I remember that we were misled by an after interview last time. Hunter and Sean could have been off but going their seperate ways. The jury is sequestered in a camp but those off first are in a hotel and maybe even different ones. I think they are free to travel. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

I think MB made all of them stay on a ship the whole time becasue of the press.

Hey Grooch, that is right (about the boats). The one team (I forget which one) sliced their boat up and used it as part of their shelter. But what about the other team?

<<And -- I will phone the Red Cross and let them know where you guys are so you can be airlifted out of there after you die of starvation and dehydration after the next couple days!>>

It's doesn't seem like Hunter has much faith in them either.LoL

This is what really made me angry. I've been in a canoe maybe twice in my life and even I knew that when you row, you stick the ore in the water! Not skim the top!
If I had been on that team and seen him do it, I would have whacked him upside his head with my own paddle!
Dumbass. Wait! Make that Dumbass who'll probably make jury due to the stupidity of his teammates.

No... Patricia and Peter both talked about their month long vacation of touring the island ...snorkle ...shopping so I am sure they weren't stuck on the ship. Thats why they traveled the island under a different name... I believe Peter's was ... oh I forgot.

Remember Lex....nobody got to know him either...he was F3.

Sean is a dupe. Frankly I am also very suspicious of Sarah...she has only had 1 confessional, and virtually never speaks (except in the fight scene). There is something going on with her we haven't seen yet.

The Mafia will not boot Sean- Rob is going to play him like a violin to the merge or the Twist.
If he ends up in Rotu, they will eat him for lunch.

My impression of Sean not paddling was that he had reached the end of his physical reserves and simply had no more left to even get that paddle into the water. He looked real spacy.

Rob is funny. "I am like Hunter too, but I would never let it show."

I don't think either Sean or Rob is an alpha male, they just want to be.

I am also not sure Rob is influencing Sean at all. So far they have ageed.

I know someone just like Sean - all big talk and knowing how everything should be done, but only doing that big talk from the sidelines and actually contributing nothing. I had to share a house with that person and, while he was very entertaining and funny, it got a bit annoying that he never lived up to all his talk.

Grooch

Thursday, March 14, 2002 - 09:10 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Fruitbat, you are right. Rob & Sean both probably think they are controlling the other.

If the team doesn't change, it will be fun to watch them chasing after Gina for her vote to oust the other.

I am so enjoying this Survivor. :)

I think it is funny that either Rob or Sean are directly responsible for them losing most of the challenges, and NOBODY noticed.

Ms Bat, you are exactly right... Rob is not really in control, the others are LETTING him think he is right now. There is more coming. Rob is Silas this season...very confident, thinks he has a lock on things... and absolutely clueless.
