Under the Radar.... takes no chances, plays it safe...keeps a low profile to stay in the game.

im still liking brian, he is playing a great game, he is the iceman. and i would be afraid to shop on his lot 'cause he would be able to sell me a rolls royce. but i didn't care for his jealousy of ted winning the truck/trip after all he shouldn't have yelled out the word and how could he have misspelled the word "road".

I think Brian is kind of scary. I want to see how this endgame goes down. It has been so long since a Chuay went to TC, we don't have many interviews where people have given their impressions of him. I missed Ted on the Early Show this AM...our local station was totally fixated on the Cardinal resignation...I can't wait to see the transcript of that and his chat today to hear his take.

After looking at those pictures it looks like Brian has "Road" alot.

I kind of agree with you Car about Brian. It's just something about him. He doesn't seem like someone you want to be around when things don't go his way. He's a total control freak, IMHO.

I can't quote Ted word for word because I was just waking up, but Ted felt Brian was just playing the game. It didn't sound like he had any bad feelings for him.

I think Ted is enough of a sportsman that he will be very fair. He took the whole thing much better than I expected him to. I think he knew it was coming!

That is one bad thing about Jeff hosting the reunion...he will not ask any of the hard questions I bet.

I bet Rosie would have brought up Brian's past careers....would have loved that.

Thanks War for the info. I like Brian, I like how he is playing the game, and I hope he wins. I would be happy if he or Helen wins.

Essence, I got the same impression. I was looking for a shread of bitterness or anything that would point toward Ted voting against Brian. Nothing.
Ted felt that Clay butted into his alliance with Brian, and I can't remember the exact words right now, but when Julie asked him how he thought Clay played the game, it wasn't good.
I taped it and will watch again, but I am predicted a vote for Brian from TEd, unless he is the best actor in the world. He seemed very genuine to me.

I would also like to post this question. If Brian did not have the porno past, say he was a teacher or something like that, would it make a difference on how people think he is playing the game? (be honest, if you can't seperate the porno from the player, say so)
In other words, is it just his confidence in himself that rubs people the wrong way? He is not humble and sweet in his confessionals like Ethan, but imo, no one since Richard Hatch has approaced this game as a business trip and kept there calm and focus like Brian.
(Except for Colby, who blew it in the end by taking Tina instead of Keith. I would say he played the nice guy but he let his dislike of Keith get in the way. He based his decision on who he WOULDN'T want to get the million if he didn't win.)
Brian learned from that, and as we saw last night, is looking forward to taking "his" Keith to the end, and making a calculated guess at the outcome.

Car, just saw your post. Jeff said last night that there would be no dancing and singing, just the questions YOU (meaning us) want answered. (and he emphiszed the YOU) I expect to see some poll on the CBS site asking for our questions, or something to that effect,jmo.

Yeah right... Like they don't edit the questions in the weekly chats. This thing is going to be very politically correct.

Hey, Rich was a consultant or something and we thought he was creepy. The porn just adds to the mystique.

For me it is the scary degree of self control and calculation. Ethan had that but in his confessionals, he let down a lot and told how he was really feeling. Rich was devious and calculating but he brought such a sense of humor to the whole thing that you had to laugh at the process.
Even Brian's confessionals are planned...during the shows I keep thinking about how he must have prepared himself for this experience. IMO the only time he has shown any of his real self is during the family video...I am not sure the drunk thing was even real...he may have been acting there as well. Last night when he was talking about the "disposable" Granny Jan, and his good "middle finger up" friend, it really creeped me out. He knew he was speaking directly to the camera and eventually they would see that footage. It didn't matter to him. That says volumes.

Webkitty, for me it doesn't have anything to do with the porno. I could care less. It's just something about his attitude if he thinks things aren't going the way he planned.

Don't get me wrong, I think he's playing one hell of a game. I might even go so far as to say better than Rich. Rich is the original mastermind in the game of Survivor, but those coming up behind him have had to adapt and make changes to that brilliant plan. Everyone is on to the game of Survivor so you can't go in playing like Rich did. I give Brian credit for his game playing skills, and if he wins he deserves it. I just don't like him.

Could someone tell me where you are finding these yucky photos of Brian?

Twinkie, I've been all over SS and I still haven't located them. I've given up.

Still rooting for Brian to win. I just look at it like he's there to play the game and he knows it. Might make friends, but he knows when to boot them out. Maybe he's cold cuz he has to be in the scope of the game, I don't know. But he has everyone thinking they're going with him, when names are thrown around, his isn't for booting. Of course, since I'm rooting for him he won't win, LOL.

Webkitty, I know I'll take alot of heat for this, but the truth is Brian's past has never really bothered me. Most of the time I have no idea what these people do for a living. But, you said it right....Brian looks at it as a business trip, nothing more and nothing less. He hasn't forgotten once what he's there for. I think he's playing a good game, the rest seem to trust him, and in the end thats what counts. It'll be interesting to see if he can keep it up.

I could give you a clue, but I would hate to lose my privileges on this board.

Wargod, if all Brian has to do to win is keep it up, then I think his former profession has given him a solid background to win Survivor.

He has performed well, and penetrated the minds of his fellow castaways - eh Weinermr?

For the pictures, go to the smoking gun website, pull up the article about the arrest and click on the word "like his wife" in the article. Would post a link, but I don't know how!

There is a link posted by Niceguy in last night's show thread, I think.
