Grooch | Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 06:12 am     I heard Ted on a radio interview this morning and the only thing worth noting is that he said that none of the Survivors, who have been voted off so far, know who the final two are going to be. So I guess this means it will be a live vote after all.  |
Hermione69 | Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 08:27 am     That is very interesting, particularly with Ted's comment about how he hasn't gotten any jury instructions yet. If it is a live vote, wow! I would LOVE that. I can hear "That's not fair!" but any way MB wants to shake up the game is fair. It's his game and his rules. |
Brenda1966 | Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 08:45 am     I really hope this isn't true. How can they not know the final two? The only way that can be true is that the final tribal council where the immunity winner picks who to take with them to the final 2 has not yet happened. I hope this is just Ted playing dumb so that he doesn't spill the beans. If this is MB's way of shaking things up, I think it's pretty weak. People here have thought of interesting and exciting ways to shake up the game. This stinks of playing dirty. Encouraging the contestants to spill their guts in the confessionals to the camera thinking the game is played out entirely in Thailand, to then allow the contestants to see the tapes before voting is playing dirty. Those confessionals should be private and not influence the game. |
Hermione69 | Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 09:03 am     I think MB can do whatever he wants. I have no problem with this. Everyone risks the same thing. They've all spilled their guts in confessionals. It's not like only one person would have been led on. If this is Ted's way of playing dumb, no one has ever pretended not to know the F2 or jury instructions before. Who would he be fooling? We all know how it works, so I can't imagine why he would say that unless there is some truth in it. I will be skeptical about live votes until I actually see it unfold that way, but it has given me food for thought. |
Zipsdaddy | Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 09:33 am     Whoa..... who says the final immunity winner gets to pick who they go to the F2 with??? Might be a few more surprizes for us... What if they get to the F3 and then there is a change in the game..... Think Idiana Jones.... |
Zipsdaddy | Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 09:34 am     Or think... Indiana Jones... sorry!! |
Grooch | Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 09:35 am     What made me mad was that the boneheaded djs didn't pick up on this at all. They ignored him saying this and they kept carrying on about the Ghandia thing and how Ted got away with the biggest lie in the world to his wife. I am tired of the Ghandia incident and I wanted to hear fresh dirt. |
Hermione69 | Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 09:36 am     True, Zips. Truthfully, whatever MB decides to do, I say "Bring it on, baby!" I'd like to see some excitement tomorrow night! Ahem, I mean Thursday night. Apparently I am looking forward to this finale more than I thought I was! |
Grooch | Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 09:36 am     Zips, what an idea that would be! |
Hermione69 | Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 09:37 am     Grooch, I am tired of the Ghandia incident too. I hope there is minimal focus on it during the reunion. |
Webkitty | Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 10:24 am     I agree with Brenda, this stinks if it is true. This is NOT Big Brother, its Survivor. I don't mind new twists and turns, but this would change the game so drastically, it wouldn't BE Survivor anymore. If they don't know who the final two are, that would mean that the game finishes out on the post show, too much of a departure for me. I trust your reporting skills, Grooch, but maybe Ted mispoke. Maybe he ment to say they didn't know who the winner was, not the final two. I am sick of Ghandia too. Blah. |
Brenda1966 | Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 01:22 pm     Thanks Webkitty -- if MB lets the players vote after seeing the tapes, it is too much like BB and I don't think that's a good thing at all. Good point Grooch -- if the Dj's had a brain they would have said "whoa -- what do you mean you don't know who the final two are?!" Obviously they aren't fans of the show. How many times have we been surprised this year?? None?! Why do we think we'll be surprised now? I'm betting it's the same old, same old routine. |
Car54 | Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 01:48 pm     Erin did the same thing. I think they have been told to pretend that the whole thing is happening in "real" time to avoid questions about the voting, the jury, etc. On the Early Show, she acted like she got voted off the night before, and would somehow be going back to the island to sit on the jury right after the interview. Ted used exactly the same technique, as did Jake. They talked about the jury experience in present tense. |
Grooch | Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 01:51 pm     Oh phoohey! I am so bored with this survivor. All I know is that next season, I want them to start out as one huge tribe. |
Queenfish | Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 02:00 pm     I think it might be intersting if that were true. Yes, may be unfair, but this season of survivor needs something, I have been bored threw the entire season until last week. Also, it might just spoil Brians entire plan. One thing we do know with survivor is, "Don't make assumptions, you know what they say it is to assume". |
Hermione69 | Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 02:03 pm     I still say this is MB's game and MB's rules. Did the players think it was fair the first time tribal switches happened? People spent days forming alliances and were split apart. Or when the purple rock was used? Poor Pappy didn't even have a vote that night. Or how about Shii Ann's thinking the merge had come only to discover they were still competing as tribes and she was doomed? None of those things was "fair." Never get complacent about anything. MB is running this show and he likes to remind people about that sometimes. IF, big IF because while I'm arguing the point I remain skeptical, they do live voting, they could have it planned to do it again for Survivor 6 because filming is over now, but after that they couldn't because confessionals would be too guarded. But for now and F6, I think it would be a hoot. I would even love watching S6 and knowing it is coming when people got all cocky and derogatory in confessionals. Knowing that could come back to haunt them would be good entertainment in my book. We'll all just have to agree to disagree on this one, but I would love to see live voting for a change. |
Hermione69 | Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 02:04 pm     "All I know is that next season, I want them to start out as one huge tribe." I love that idea also! |
Fanny | Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 02:12 pm     The Pagonging has become entirely too predictable. Starting out as one huge tribe would make that a thing of the past. |
Realbiz | Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 02:47 pm     Better yet - how about TWO tribes will live together as ONE big tribe, but will still be competing with each other for a while before the merge. In addition, this would make the filming easier(one location), and perhaps cost effective as well. |
Webkitty | Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 02:49 pm     I love the idea of starting out as one tribe. They could be split up later, but one big tribe in the beginning would be just dandy with me |
Whoami | Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 03:37 pm     Or, be one big tribe, but draw lots for each pair of challenges (one RC and one IC) that divides them into two competing teams. The losing team votes out a member of that team. Then they become one again until the next pair of challenges, and draw again. Each time, you never know what team you will be on! OK, this should be in a "future show speculation" thread, but I was just responding to above posts. Sorry I got OT. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 05:35 pm     If Ted hasn't voted, sounds like it is too late according to this email: Don't miss the exciting two-hour season finale of SURVIVOR: THAILAND this Thursday, December 19 at 8PM ET/PT to see who will win the title of Sole Survivor! It's down to the Final Four, and with the title of Sole Survivor on the line, critical friendships end, resulting in feelings of betrayal and rage.

Queenfish | Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 07:05 pm     I think it might be intersting if at tribal council, the opposing team voted someone off the island. That might be a little intersting. I hope that something happens to change the game in the future. With it being so predictable, I need a change. |
Grooch | Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 07:29 pm     Ohhhhhh, Queenfish.... What a great idea!!! The jury gets to vote off the person from the final 3 to leave the final two. That is really evil. |
Grooch | Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 07:31 pm     Seamonkey, that email proves it. Nothing has changed. I guess that Ted was coached, and the djs on the radio station were "instructed" not to ask questions. I am officially bored with survivor and I demand 1 team next time. |
