Webkitty | Friday, December 06, 2002 - 07:43 am     I am still loving Brian I agree that he has managed this beautifully so far. I also agree that he must be a very strong guy (mentally) and that he is probably a bit of a control freak. Richard Hatch was too, remember his little speech to the camera about not going out and getting the rest more fish until they had appriciated his efforts to his satisfaction? Brian's comments to the camera are obviously not heard by the rest. They all seem to trust and like him, and he came through for his tribe for immunity when they needed him to win that underwater challenge. He should have let Helen win the video from home RC, but apologized profusely to her when he didn't choose her to go on the elephant trip. She has stated since it meant a lot to her. He is not an UTR player, sitting back and watching the turmoil unfold, hoping to be unoticed until its too late, something I can't stand. He's not boring, and not bad to look at either If the spoiler had Brian and Helen as the final two, I would be in heaven right now. I hope its wrong. They have played the game the best, imo, and I would love to see them make F2. Either one winning would be fine with me. |
Car54 | Friday, December 06, 2002 - 08:38 am     Kitty, I think Brian is using very good Survivor strategy. Helen, tho intense and annoying sometimes has some very admirable qualities...which really makes her very undesireable as a person to go up against with the jury. He is positioning Clay (and Clay unwittingly is helping)...Clay is getting on people's nerves and definitely has enemies now. The REAL trick is how does Brian get rid of Helen but not p*ss her off and lose her vote. If he does that, he is the hats off master of strategy. It has to happen next, tho...he is running out of people to blame it on. |
Realfan | Friday, December 06, 2002 - 10:25 am     Brian is a Survivor Game God. Seriously, if he wins this thing, he should write a book about his winning strategy. He hasn't make a wrong step yet. I am deeply impressed. Unless, of course, he loses! |
Webkitty | Friday, December 06, 2002 - 10:47 am     {{Reafan}} I'll wait in line with you to get the book autographed  |
Hermione69 | Friday, December 06, 2002 - 11:08 am     I have to agree with you that he is amazing at "the game." He has everyone in the palm of his hand. If he wins the million, I have to admit he'll deserve it, but on a personal level, I like him less and less with every episode. All those derogatory little comments he makes in confessionals. The way he made fun of Ken. His comment to his wife "well, clean it up," when he saw the video. The "sheep waiting for their master" comment. If it was just one or two, I'd shrug it off, but he has made too many by now. Just yuk. Yuk. Yuk. I applaud his ability to master people for the purpose of winning one million dollars, but truthfully, he just makes me cringe when I see his mug on my TV screen. |
Babyruth | Friday, December 06, 2002 - 11:47 am     I don't like Brian much, but I have to say, he is playing very very well, AND he's not lying to anyone who assumes they are allied with him. He just nods, listens empathetically, says, "Yeah, I see what you mean", and enables them to form their own positive conclusions without his committal. Smart, cagey guy. |

If he does that, he is the hats off master of strategy. It has to happen next, tho...he is running out of people to blame it on." Remember, Richard got to the final two by NOT winning the final challenge. He was sure that Rudy and Kelly both intended to take him with them. If it is Brian & Clay with either Helen or Ted, Brian could pull the same stunt (throw the final immunity challenge). |
Kstme | Friday, December 06, 2002 - 05:25 pm     I haven't seen this noted anywhere and it struck me as rather curious last night...Brian motioned with his arm to his wife while looking around quickly at the other players to see if they were watching him. It appeared to me that he was almost giving her the signal to throw the comp. Not like she would have gone the distance anyway!LOL yukky stuff! He also said something like he's got everything under control in her ear while he was hugging her before the IC. |
Fanny | Friday, December 06, 2002 - 05:29 pm     Kstme, I saw that too. I don't have it verbatim but he was whispering to his wife about having a plan, a BIG plan. Or something like that. |
Car54 | Friday, December 06, 2002 - 06:09 pm     I think ol Cece definitely stepped down...he did NOT want her on that island for a day. The throwing immunity only works if you are pretty sure of BOTH the other people... and it depends on how secure Brian is. He knew both Kelly and Rudy would take him. I think both Clay and Helen would pick Brian...can't see them picking each other. I still think she is next tho. |
Seattlemom | Saturday, December 07, 2002 - 04:16 am     I agree he didnt want her to win the visit he is playing it really close he thought the home video hurt him so think he didnt want her around to let the other ones to learn too much about him because did you notice when they showed his wifes message everyone checking out how well off they looked? |
Realfan | Tuesday, December 10, 2002 - 04:27 pm     I imagine Brian definitely was glad that his wife bailed on the challenge. I wonder if he did manage to signal her to do that. Part of his strategy is not letting people know too much about him; also, he had won several reward challenges, and he wouldn't want to be resented, either. |
Essence | Thursday, December 12, 2002 - 01:29 pm     I didn't see this posted over here. The Smoking Gun has done it again. Brian's wife was arrested for spousal abuse. http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/heidikabuse1.html |
Webkitty | Thursday, December 12, 2002 - 01:39 pm     I take it she won't be going to the Survivor finale? Thanks Essence, I just read it at another site and was coming her to post about it. Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmm. |
Car54 | Thursday, December 12, 2002 - 01:43 pm     I guess they are not going to Fiji. She was probably kicking his butt not winning. Wonder who has the baby? |
Hermione69 | Thursday, December 12, 2002 - 01:43 pm     OH. MY. HECK. |
Car54 | Thursday, December 12, 2002 - 01:48 pm     Didn't this happen with Rich too? The child abuse thing breaking right when he was in the press? Even more parallels. Spooky. |
Webkitty | Thursday, December 12, 2002 - 01:52 pm     This reminds me of the Richard Hatch arrest right before S1 ended. Only this time, Brian is the one taking the beating. Richard was the one giving it. (supposedly to his adopted son) Too bad for Brian's baby, geesh. oops Car, just saw your post your right, many similarites with these two. Its been just gamewise, until now. |
Car54 | Thursday, December 12, 2002 - 01:54 pm     Jinx kitty! Did you guys see those pics of Brian back at work that were posted a few weeks ago? He did not look great. This must have been about that time. |
Webkitty | Thursday, December 12, 2002 - 02:03 pm     CAr, I did see them. Wow, I wonder what dangerous or deadly weapon she used? I had a hard time trying to make out the actual police/court report so I may have missed it. |
Essence | Thursday, December 12, 2002 - 02:05 pm     What picks . Were they posted here? |
Car54 | Thursday, December 12, 2002 - 02:51 pm     Essence I think they were over at SS. They are saying that Brian called the police on her, and tried to drop the charges the next day, but the police wouldn't let him. They got back together right away. The guess is that this happened around the week that the Family Video episode aired. I am always very suspicious when a player is in the press for real life stuff the day of the show. This is very interesting. |
Fruitbat | Thursday, December 12, 2002 - 03:31 pm     Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh plueeeeeeeeeeeeeeze have Brian voted off. Only to disprove the spoiler. I would support his win despite the fact that I find him creepy. It is all a game. I like Helen and Clay. |
Fanny | Thursday, December 12, 2002 - 03:46 pm     I find it interesting that she spent 2 nights in jail and that she's represented by a public defender. Wonder why she didn't hire a private attorney to bond her out. Brian didn't want her out? Brian didn't want to spend money on an attorney? Brian couldn't afford it? Odd. |
Car54 | Thursday, December 12, 2002 - 03:50 pm     He probably gave her heck for how she looked in the video...he may not have known what the others were saying until the show aired... She probably went off on him. |
